The cannon fodder female supporting role is busy in the book, and she gets mad when she disagrees wi

After hearing what Ye Zhaonan said, Shi Lidie used her best acting skills and showed a surprised expression:

"How could this be?"

Ye Zhaonan sneered a few times and said, "If I knew the reason, I wouldn't come to ask you."

"This matter is a little unusual." Shi Lidie said, "Your Highness, please don't worry. Why don't you go inside and discuss it in detail? We can analyze the reasons together."

After that, Shi Lidie led Ye Zhaonan to the side hall, and asked someone to serve him some heat-reducing tea, and then spoke again:

"Your Highness, tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

Ye Zhaonan glanced at her, and then told her everything that happened in the court this morning, including the fact that the witnesses had suddenly turned against him.

After listening, Shi Lidie thought for a moment and asked:

"Your Highness, let me ask you a question. Were you personally watching over the evidence and witnesses from beginning to end? Were you sure that no one else touched them during that time? Were you sure that the witnesses did not come into contact with anyone else during the period of detention?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaonan nodded firmly:

"I am sure. If not, I would not have the confidence to accuse Ye Jiayan in court."

"Then I know why." Shi Lidie said, "Excluding the possibility that the evidence was swapped, the witnesses were bribed, or someone else intervened, the only possibility is that these witnesses were not real from the beginning."

"What do you mean by this?"

"They were specially prepared by the Second Prince to lure you into the game." Shi Lidie said, "Perhaps, the Second Prince knew that you were going to deal with him, so he fabricated a set of evidence and some witnesses in advance, waiting for you to investigate, but in the end, what you found out was not true."

"How did he know that I was going to deal with him?" Ye Zhaonan was puzzled. "This plan was brought up by you and me when we were having lunch at Babaolou that day. We never told anyone else during that time."

Shi Lidie's expression became serious, and she said:

"Just because your highness has not revealed it doesn't mean no one has noticed."

"Since you and I are the only ones who know about this, then the source of the leak must be either me or His Highness."

"The only maids around me are Wen Tan and Hui Xiang. They are my trusted aides from the Dayin Dynasty. They have no reason to betray me. As for the maids around His Highness..."

"I will go back and check it out right away." After hearing this, Ye Zhaonan stood up and hurriedly left the princess's mansion.

Shi Lidie looked at Ye Zhaonan's leaving back and smiled gently.

She was looking forward to what would happen when Ye Zhaonan found out that Lin Pianpian, the woman beside her, had an intersection with the second prince? Which was more important, the future or the beauty?

Ye Zhaonan is very efficient.

After all, not many people knew about this matter. In order to prevent the news from leaking out and to catch Ye Jiayan by surprise, only a few of his confidants knew about it outside, and the rest were people inside the Prince's Mansion.

Although he had not told anyone in the Prince's Mansion about this matter, he came home late for a few days and brought a lot of things to his study at home to sort them out. Maybe someone had secretly looked at them.

When he was working in the study at night, the person who came in and out of the study most often was Lin Pianpian.

Sometimes it was tea, sometimes soup, sometimes massage, and she was the one who had the greatest chance of getting in touch with those things.

Ye Zhaonan checked one by one, and finally the suspicion fell on the housekeeper and Lin Pianpian.

But the housekeeper was trained by his mother and has been loyal to him for more than ten years; as for Lin Pianpian, he rescued her and he didn't believe that she would betray him.

At this time, the butler said:

"Your Highness, my loyalty is known to all. As for Miss Lin, I saw her arguing with the Second Prince at the entrance of the Eight Treasures Tower a few days ago."

"Although I didn't hear their conversation, the two of them were very intimate, and it was obvious that they had a special relationship."

When Ye Zhaonan heard this, he quickly asked, "When did you see it?"

The butler recalled for a while, and then remembered what happened that day. He said that Shi Lidie prepared two jars of good wine for the prince and asked him to go to the tavern to carry them. He happened to see Lin Pianpian and the second prince...

After telling what happened that day, the butler added:

"Your Highness, although I only saw it that one time, there are probably countless times when it went unnoticed!"

"After all, His Highness never restricted Miss Lin in the past. He never said that she couldn't leave the house. She often went out for a stroll. As for whether she met the Second Prince during that time, I don't know."

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The butler saw that suspicion fell on himself. In order to clear himself of suspicion, he had to keep throwing dirty water on the other person. As long as the evidence of the other person's guilt was confirmed, he would be innocent.

Therefore, he felt no guilt in finishing off the opponent.

Ye Zhaonan's eyes fell on Lin Pianpian and asked in a cold voice:

"what do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, that was a misunderstanding. I had no contact with the Second Prince. We just met at the gate of Babao Tower that day. I almost fell when I got off the carriage, and the Second Prince kindly helped me up." Lin Pianpian explained.

"He and I are enemies. Knowing that you are a concubine in my house, will he be kind enough to help you?" Ye Zhaonan obviously didn't believe it.

"It's true! I don't know why this happened!" Lin Pianpian cried.

"Okay, then I want to ask you, why did you go to Babaolou that day?" Ye Zhaonan asked, "I remember that when you went out of the house before, you almost always went to clothing stores, rouge stores, or some study rooms to buy storybooks. You never ate outside, especially a restaurant of Babaolou's standard. You have never been there. Why did you go there that day?"

"I..." Lin Pianpian wanted to explain, but didn't know how to say it.

Could it be that she was going to say that she went there because she received a letter? Then how would she explain the contents of the letter? If she went there because someone asked her to help deal with Princess Yun'an, wouldn't that prove that she had bad intentions towards Princess Yun'an?

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, wouldn't he know that she had ulterior motives?

Just when Lin Pianpian was hesitating, Xiaochan suddenly said:

"I remember that day, Madam received a letter from outside, and then she went out."

"What letter?" Ye Zhaonan asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen the contents of the letter." Xiaochan lowered her head.

The butler continued to make up the enemy's attacks:

"Who knows? It's a letter from the Second Prince, asking Miss Lin to meet him."

"I'm not, I didn't!" Lin Pianpian shook her head. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the prince sadly, trying to make him believe her.

But, she failed.

The Crown Prince has been tricked. He finally got the chance to deal with the Second Prince, but he was outmaneuvered because of a spy around him. He is very angry, so how could he let the culprit go?

So he ordered:

"Take Lin Pianpian to the dungeon and torture her severely. I don't believe she won't confess!"

"Humph, you are such a traitor. I saved you and raised you, but you actually teamed up with outsiders to plot against me. You are so tired of living!"
