Under interrogation by the crown prince and Chen Jue, Wang Yuan finally confessed her guilt. After she explained her plan to assassinate Chen Jue, she collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, her eyes empty and filled with despair and regret.

However, the matter did not end there. Not long after Wang Yuan confessed her guilt, her brother Wang Hui came to the Prince's Mansion.

Wang Hui was wearing a gorgeous robe, looking hurried but determined. He held a package tightly in his hand, which seemed to contain something extremely important.

After entering the Prince's Mansion, Wang Hui went straight to the hall where the Prince and Chen Jue were. He first bowed respectfully to the Prince, then turned his gaze to Chen Jue and nodded slightly.

Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, Lord Chen, I came here today because of my sister Wang Yuan. I know she has committed an unforgivable crime, but I beg Your Highness and Lord Chen to give her a chance."

The prince frowned and said gloomily, "Wang Hui, your sister has assassinated an important official of the imperial court. The evidence is irrefutable. Can this matter be resolved by your plea?"

Wang Hui hurriedly stepped forward and opened the package in his hand. Inside was a thick stack of documents and letters. "Your Highness, please read these. This is the evidence I have painstakingly collected of the King of Jin's corruption and his conspiracy with others to refuse to repay the debt owed to the treasury. I am well aware that these crimes are extremely harmful to the court. I am willing to present these to Your Highness in exchange for a glimmer of hope for my sister's life."

Wang Hui's eyes were full of anticipation, he hoped that these evidences would impress the prince.

The prince took the document and read it carefully. Chen Jue also came over and looked at the contents of the document. Their faces gradually became solemn. These evidences are indeed detailed. If they are true, the King of Jin will be severely punished.

"Wang Hui, where did you get these evidences?" asked the prince, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Wang Hui quickly explained, "Your Highness, I have been following the developments in the court and I also know some of what the King of Jin has done. In order to collect this evidence, I have spent a lot of time and energy, secretly investigating many people, and finally got this. I hope to make a contribution to the court with this, and I also hope that Your Highness can forgive my sister's mistakes and restore her position as the Crown Prince's concubine for my loyalty."

The prince pondered for a moment, then said: "Wang Hui, the evidence you provided is certainly important, but Wang Yuan's crime cannot be easily ignored. I still need to consider this matter carefully, you can leave first."

Wang Hui was a little anxious when he saw this. He turned to Chen Jue and said, "Master Chen, I know my sister's behavior has caused you great harm, but I promise that I will discipline her strictly in the future and will not let her do anything to hurt you and Miss Chen again. My sister was just confused for a moment and was bewitched by someone, so she made such a mistake. Can you help me persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for my sake?"

Chen Jue sneered and said, "Wang Hui, your sister almost got my sister seriously injured. On the ice rink, she teamed up with others to make things difficult for my sister and almost disfigured her. Once this kind of trend starts, the potential danger against my sister will continue to increase. How can I believe that your sister will let my sister go after she is acquitted? I will never agree to let her escape punishment easily." Chen Jue's eyes were full of anger and vigilance. He hated Wang Yuan's behavior and would never compromise easily.

Wang Hui said hurriedly: "Master Chen, I understand your concerns. But please believe me, I will definitely handle this matter well. I will hold a grand banquet for Miss Chen Jia, apologize to her, and give her the support of the Wang family. I will let the entire Wang family show respect and apology to Miss Chen Jia, so that she can feel our sincerity. I will also always supervise my sister to ensure that she will not have any ill will towards Miss Chen Jia again."

Chen Jue shook his head and said, "Wang Hui, your assurance does not reassure me. Your sister's mind is so vicious that I find it hard to believe that she will truly change. Moreover, as one of the masterminds who assassinated me, she must pay the price for her actions. You can't let her off easily just because you provided some evidence."

Wang Hui saw Chen Jue's firm attitude and became more anxious. He pleaded with Chen Jue again, "Master Chen, I know you may not believe anything I say now, but I will really do my best to make up for my sister's mistakes. I can let the Wang family fully support you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court and contribute our strength to the stability and development of the court. As long as you agree to give my sister a chance, I am willing to do anything."

Chen Jue looked at Wang Hui's anxious expression and felt a little shaken.

He knew that the evidence in Wang Hui's hands was crucial to overthrowing the Prince of Jin. If he could make good use of the evidence, he might be able to eliminate a major hidden danger for the court. But he was also worried that if he let Wang Yuan go, it would bring greater danger to Chen Jia.

Just when Chen Jue was hesitant, the prince said, "Wang Hui, if you want me to forgive Wang Yuan and restore her position as the prince's concubine, you must first convince Chen Jue. Only if Chen Jue agrees, will I consider your request."

Wang Hui nodded helplessly, knowing that the prince had thrown this difficult question to him. He turned to Chen Jue again and said sincerely: "Master Chen, I really hope you can give my sister another chance. I will guarantee with my life that she will never do anything to hurt Miss Chen Jia again. If she does it again, I am willing to bear all the guilt with her."

Chen Jue was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Wang Hui, I don't object to your pleading with the prince for the time being, but I want you to make one thing clear, you must make your sister sincerely repent, and let me see your actual actions. If I find that she still has any signs of targeting my sister, I will never let her go, nor will I let your Wang family go."

Wang Hui felt a little relieved after hearing this. He quickly said, "Master Chen, don't worry, I will definitely do it. When I return, I will immediately arrange a banquet for Miss Chen Jia to express our Wang family's apology and sincerity to her. I will also teach my sister well and let her realize her mistakes."

After saying this, Wang Hui bowed to the prince and Chen Jue again, and then left the prince's mansion. He knew that he still had a lot to do next, not only to make Wang Yuan truly repent, but also to make Chen Jue and the prince believe in their sincerity. This was a difficult challenge, but for his sister and the Wang family, he had to go all out.

In the prince's mansion, the prince looked at Chen Jue and said, "Chen Jue, do you think Wang Hui's words are credible?"

Chen Jue frowned and said, "Your Highness, I am not sure either. But the evidence in Wang Hui's hands is indeed very important. If we can make good use of it, it will be a great opportunity for us. However, we cannot take it lightly. We must pay close attention to Wang Yuan and the Wang family's every move to ensure that they will not do anything to harm the court and us again."

The prince nodded and said, "You are right. We must handle this matter carefully. We cannot let Wang Yuan escape punishment easily, but we cannot miss the opportunity to overthrow King Jin. We must plan carefully and see how to achieve the best of both worlds."

So, the prince and Chen Jue began to discuss the next countermeasures. They knew that the struggle in the court was complicated and every decision could affect the development of the entire situation. In this struggle, Chen Jia's safety became Chen Jue's most concerned issue. He secretly vowed to protect Chen Jia and prevent her from being hurt again.
