Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Zhang Shaoyin accompanied him and said to Jiang Fenghua, "He recites these words every day, so I dare not really take his life. After all, there is no evidence to prove that he was the mastermind behind the assassination of the princess. Moreover, it was dark at night, and everyone's attention was on the fire at the Zhang family. The people around were frightened by the assassins, and no one could prove that Ji Chen assassinated the princess..."

He also asked Lord Yang. When he arrived, Ji Chen was already lying on the ground injured. The person who attacked him was Lin Yu. There were two daggers on the ground, one belonged to Ji Chen and the other to Lin Yu.

Ji Chen had a dagger but that didn't prove he stabbed the princess with the knife, after all, the princess was fine.

The assassins shot arrows at Princess Heng, but in the end they all committed suicide by taking poison, so it is difficult to find the real mastermind.

There were people outside who deliberately made a big deal out of the case, which put pressure on the government, and they didn't know what to do.

Zhang Shaoyin expressed all his concerns.

Jiang Fenghua said nothing and watched this scene quietly. He was really good at confusing right and wrong. Ji Chen thought that there was nothing he could do to him without evidence!

Before Jiang Fenghua could speak, Zhang Yumo suddenly said to Ji Chen, "Master Ji and Madam Zhang II were having an affair in the backyard of the Zhang Mansion. Everyone saw it. Master Ji claimed to be a scholar, but he had no shame in hooking up with a married woman. According to the laws of this dynasty, adultery can be punished by death. With such a corrupt moral character, do you think you can still take the imperial examination?"

Ji Chen was stunned. "It was your Zhang family who framed me and wanted to ruin my reputation. You got an old and ugly woman to frame me. I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you're blaming me."

"It was you who secretly ran to the backyard of the Zhang mansion to have an affair with the second wife and was caught. Now you are trying to confuse right and wrong. Even if we take you to court, you will not be able to deny your ugly deeds." Zhang Yumo did not expect him to be so shameless.

Ji Chen knew that Jiang Fenghua had set them up, but they had no evidence and were at a loss at the time. He said, "I was framed by your Zhang family, and now you are throwing dirty water on me. You want to put me to death, and you dare to protect each other under the feet of the emperor."

He added: "If you have the guts, call Madam Zhang Er to confront me!"

Zhang Yumo held the handkerchief tightly. He knew clearly that they had killed Second Aunt as well, yet he still said this. It was clearly intentional.

At this time, another soldier came in and said, "Reporting to Shao Yin Zhang, a group of people came outside the government office claiming to be Ji Chen's relatives. They demanded that the government release him, otherwise they would file a complaint with the emperor. What should we do now?"

Zhang Shaoyin looked at Jiang Fenghua and said, "Please give me your instructions, Princess." If there is evidence, they will certainly help the princess seek justice.

Jiang Fenghua said, "Whether we release him now or not, they are going to make trouble. If we torture him to extract a confession without any evidence, and report it to the Censorate, I am afraid that it will implicate the prince."

"Ah! Is it so serious?" Zhang Shaoyin was also scared. Thinking of how majestic and confident His Royal Highness Prince Heng was when he worked here and interrogated prisoners, he wondered why he was not as powerful as the prince.

Now there is no one in Jingzhao Prefecture who does not admire Prince Heng and Princess Heng. Now Xie Shang has gone to the frontier as a general. If the prince is reported because of these things, he will be guilty of a great sin.

Jiang Fenghua raised the corners of her lips. "Although there is no evidence that Ji Chen was in cahoots with the assassin, this princess has heard about him. In fact, it is not unfair for him to be beaten. After all, Ji Chen has done many immoral things."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and Ji Chen heard it just now. In fact, whether it would affect Xie Shang was not the main point at all. Prince Heng was now outside fighting for the country and repelling the enemy. The Censorate would not be so stupid as to impeach him for such a thing.

The Su family had the upper hand in this round. She always felt uncomfortable. They clearly wanted Ji Chen's life, but now they had to let him go. The thought of it made her feel as disgusting as if she had swallowed a fly alive.

Who else could stand on Ji Chen's side and make a fuss now except his wife Yun Fang? Could it be that the Su family would bring trouble to themselves?

Jiang Fenghua had thought it through long ago. If he wanted to calm the matter down, the only way was to let Su Tingwan step in.

As far as she knew, Su Tingwan had been gaining popularity in front of Queen Cheng these days, which made Queen Cheng very happy. No one knew what was wrong with her, but she actually got the Queen's permission to enter and leave the palace at will.

Jiang Fenghua did not return to the palace because she was busy with supplies and the Zhang family's affairs outside the palace.

Ji Chen started to shout again, "It's unfair. The soldiers beat people to death and tortured them to extract confessions. Is there any justice..."

But no matter how he shouted or called out, Jiang Fenghua was too lazy to pay attention to him and just left the dungeon.

This made Ji Chen a little confused. He thought Jiang Fenghua came here to kill him.

Jiang Fenghua arrived outside the government office and saw Yunfang beating drums outside to protest her injustice. "Sir, please let my husband go. He would never kill the princess! He is a weak scholar, how could he kill someone!"

After her howling, a lot of people really came and they were talking about it. In fact, no one knew what had happened, but after she cried for a while, everyone knew the general idea.

On the day when the fire broke out at the Zhang family's house, Princess Heng was suddenly assassinated when she arrived at the Zhang residence. The murderer also committed suicide by taking poison. This incident caused quite a stir, and as the Zhang family was holding a funeral these days, everyone almost forgot about it.

Jiang Fenghua walked up to Yunfang and deliberately asked in surprise, "Aunt Yunfang, why is it you?"

Jiang Fenghua had not seen Yunfang since she was driven out of Prince Heng's Mansion. This question also aroused everyone's doubts. Princess Heng knew her and called her Aunt Yunfang.

Yun Fang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was going to do. She was on guard in her heart and quickly performed the proper court etiquette towards Jiang Fenghua, "Your servant greets the princess."

Jiang Fenghua was beautiful and pregnant. When she stood in the crowd, she was the most dazzling and beautiful. Her good looks could always attract people's attention and make everyone like her unconsciously. Especially when she was pregnant and busy worrying about the affairs of the Jishan Hall, everyone had been talking about it for a long time.

The common people also wanted to watch the fun, and now seeing Princess Heng present, they all saluted and said, "Greetings to Princess Heng, Hello, Princess."

Jiang Fenghua stood there neither humbly nor arrogantly, smiling, and responded to everyone.

She said to Yunfang again, "Get up. Why are you here beating the yamen's drum to complain?"

Her voice was gentle and her attitude was kind, as if they were old acquaintances. "I heard you got married."

"Yes." Yunfang knew that she was asking a question even though she knew the answer, and she kept rolling her eyes in her heart. She was not married, so why would she come to speak up for her husband?

On the surface, she behaved well and did not dare to show any unnecessary emotions, because General Su had said that her mission was to save her husband and speak up for him.

"The man you are marrying is Young Master Ji. Alas, things are unpredictable. I didn't expect that you would marry him. At first, Young Master Ji was staying in the palace, but he suddenly moved out. I happened to go back to my parents' home and was not at home. It was the prince who arranged the marriage for you." She chatted casually, looking gentle and harmless.
