It was a bright sunny day, and it was the birthday of Emperor Qingxin, Li Mochen.

Yu Xiaoqiao packed up early, and accompanied by Jiang Yubai, she picked up Yu Chuwan and went into the palace together.

Walking on the green bricks and looking at the red walls, Yu Xiaoqiao felt a hundred emotions surge in her heart.

Last time, it was still with Tong Wenming, and the Yu sisters were still princesses.

His father was still the high and mighty prime minister, and Ling Yan was still a member of a royal family. In the blink of an eye, everything changed.

With his father passed away unjustly and his family broken up, Ling Yanwen was facing the darkest moment of his life.

——Whether you can see the light again depends on today.

Originally, Ben Ming and Ling Yan didn't let Xiao Qiao come, and Jiang Yubai didn't want her to come either, mainly because they were afraid that if anything happened, there would be danger.

After all, the opponent is Li Mochen.

However, some dangers must be faced head-on, even if they mean death.

I originally only knew that Yu Xiaoqiao was stubborn and no one could persuade her, but I didn't expect Yu Chuwan to be the same.

Whatever!

It’s best to turn the tide together.

Even if we have to sacrifice ourselves, we will stay together.

Yu Xiaomo disguised himself as an attendant of the Northern Frontier envoy and mixed in the birthday celebration team.

Yu Xiaoqiao glanced at the Northern Frontier delegation and couldn't help but frowned slightly, thinking, "It's not that I don't want you to come, but as the King of Northern Frontier, you actually took the risk yourself."

But what danger does this mean to him?

Everyone in the Yu family is his relative. How could he stand idly by when his relatives were wrongly killed?

How could he stay out of it when his sister was in danger?

The most important thing is, in order to avenge Yu Xiang and Yu family, how can I stay out of it?

Li Mochen came over surrounded by people, with his usual gentle smile on his face.

That smile seemed to have more confidence than when he was a prince, and also more indescribable ruthlessness.

Although it was extremely secretive, Yu Xiaoqiao felt it.

Soon, it was time for the tribute.

Yu Xiaoqiao and Yu Chuwan slowly walked to the center of the hall and presented birthday gifts.

Li Mochen opened the gift list and paused for a moment. "Thank you, my two princesses, for your careful preparation. Please take a seat."

Yu Chuwan smiled, "Your Majesty, the birthday gift was carefully prepared by my sister and I for half a year. The evidence is comprehensive, the arguments are sufficient, the logic is rigorous, and the presentation is even more——it was completed in one go, overnight. Your Majesty, it would be a pity if we don't show it to the ministers and envoys from various countries!"

"How can this be! You have no right to speak about what the emperor says!" the new eunuch chief Liu Da scolded.

Yu Xiaoqiao leaned forward, her lips slightly raised, "Liu Zongguan's reprimand is very true. The emperor has not yet given any instructions, how can a eunuch shout and yell? May I ask, Liu Zongguan, are you the new favorite, or the powerful Wei Zhongxian?"

"How dare you! Daughter of a traitor, we have already shown you mercy by sparing your life, yet you dare to cause trouble on the Emperor's birthday? Drag you out!" Chief Steward Liu roared with anger, his eyes widening.

Yu Xiaomo snorted and snapped his fingers lightly.

Eunuch Liu Da fell silent immediately. His big wrinkled mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

Li Mochen glanced at Liu Da, and perhaps thought he was a bit barking, so he ignored him and looked at Yu Xiaoqiao and Yu Chuwan, "Princess Anping, you insist on redressing your father's grievances on your birthday. If I don't allow you to do so, it will seem that I have a guilty conscience and that my case is unfair."

Yu Xiaoqiao sneered, "Whether the emperor is innocent or not, and whether my father's case is fair or not, will soon be revealed to the world."

Yu Xiaoqiao waved her arm, and piles of documents flew out from her long sleeves and were neatly arranged in front of each person's desk.

"This is the evidence of my father's 'treason'. With only a few ambiguous letters and the testimony of a servant who had worked in the palace for half a year, my father, the first-rank prime minister of Daxin, was accused of treason. He didn't even have the chance to be executed in the autumn. He was hastily guillotined in half a month!"

Yu Xiaoqiao's voice was cold, and she did not speak harshly or indignantly.

Yu Chuwan presented all the evidence they had collected to the imperial case one by one, "The letter was forged. The words on my father's letters were scraped off one by one and pasted together to form two letters of treason, so some parts are abrupt."

Yu Xiaoqiao stretched out her arm and a letter flew into her hand.

Yu Xiaoqiao took out the letter and unfolded it in front of everyone, "Please look carefully, is this the letter that accused my father of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country last year?"

"These letters are sealed in the Dali Temple. How did you get them? They must be fake." The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple questioned.

The officials echoed the question.

“Stolen!”

A cold voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the person coming.

——Si Wenming was dressed in white and walked towards us slowly.

Li Mochen was not surprised at all, and smiled faintly, "Marquis Wennan, you are really not dead. Congratulations!"

Si Wenming walked to Yu Xiao's side and said, "This letter was indeed stolen from the Dali Temple archives—I stole it."

As soon as these words were spoken, all those who had just questioned fell silent.

Yu Xiaoqiao placed the letter on a table that had just been moved to the center of the hall and spread it out.

The bright red seal of the Dali Temple was clearly visible on the corner of the paper.

Everyone looked at the seal and glanced at Li Mochen from time to time.

Li Mochen looked calm, as if he didn't care too much about what was about to happen.

Yu Xiaoqiao took another cup of water and poured it evenly on the paper.

Everyone stared intently.

Sure enough, a miracle happened.

Gradually, the paper began to delaminate.

Yu Xiaoqiao tore off the outermost layer of paper, and neatly arranged small pieces of crumbs scattered on the table.

Everyone was shocked.

Sure enough – it’s pieced together word by word.

Everyone was shocked and their eyes turned to Li Mochen again.

His eyes were filled with - "What's your explanation?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mochen did not show any panic, but a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "The letter is indeed a forgery, but it involves state power. Everyone, it is better not to know."

Yu Xiaoqiao sneered, "It's a trick, it's a frame-up, stop waving your flag! Clear my father's name, clear the name of the prime minister's mansion!"

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk - no matter how powerful she is, she is still just a woman. Long hair and short knowledge.” Ye Huan, standing aside, also sneered.
