Seeing Shangguan Shu's face darken, Lin came out and said, "It must be that there is someone in the Duke's Mansion who is incompatible with the old Duke!"

"First it was Princess Huai'an, and now it's the old Duke..." Lin looked terrified, and even knelt in front of Zhao Ying, "I hope Your Highness will have compassion for the people, for Princess Huai'an and the old Duke, and eliminate the demons and monsters!"

Zhao Ying was struck by lightning, she shook her head with tears in her eyes and whispered, "No...my Yue'er is not..."

She looked to Shangguan Shu for help.

Shangguan Shu said in a deep voice: "The princess has already said that if there is an evildoer, she will take the lead in getting rid of him as soon as possible, but this matter has not been finalized yet! My father is old and it is inevitable that he will be unwell..."

"Uncle, how do you explain today's strange phenomenon?"

Everyone whispered.

"Yeah, there's a dead cat, fireworks, and pool water... if this isn't a warning from heaven, what is it?"

Zhao Ying's eyes were red, "That can't be associated with my Yue'er!"

"Xue'er, your aunt treated you well. She even gave you the phoenix hairpin that belonged to the late queen, which she loved the most. You knew that Yue'er was my life, so why did you insist on killing her?"

"Aunt, please forgive me! Xue'er is not afraid of human feelings, she only cares about the word 'reason'!"

Zhao Ying was heartbroken. She had a cold and her face was pale. She could only stand steadily with the help of Shangguan Shu.

"Good! Good! Good! What a great word for 'reason'!"

"But do you have any evidence to prove that Yue'er is a monster? You want to convict Yue'er without any evidence?"

The Crown Princess said coldly, "That's right! Does anyone have evidence to prove that Yue'er is a monster? If so, bring it out!"

Perhaps God couldn't bear it any longer, and Yang suddenly came out, holding the dog in her arms, and in her hand was a stone seal with a few lines of words faintly engraved on it. Because it had been buried underground for so long, the words were covered by mud, and only the first four words could be seen: [The Way of Heaven is clear...]

Yang knew very well that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to look at it privately.

I have no choice but to make it public.

Just say that the dog dug it out of the ground.

When everyone saw the first four words, Cui immediately reacted, "Could it be the motto of heaven?"

Everyone was shocked and puzzled. Could it be that God really loved the world and wanted to show mercy to them by pointing out the evildoers?

Zhao Ying's face turned pale and he asked someone to smash the stone with a trembling voice. Unfortunately, Huyan Xue would not agree to that.

She grabbed the stone seal into her arms and said, "Aunt, this is a decree from heaven, you can't smash it!"

"I said smash it, so smash it! Madam Li, smash it for me!"

Nanny Li was about to rush forward to grab it, but Huyan Xue knew she couldn't save it, so she knelt down in front of Shangguan Shu and said, "Uncle, you have to make the decision for mother!"

"As long as this evildoer is here, my mother's life is in danger!"

Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Shu expressionlessly, "Runlang, what do you think?"

Shangguan Shu lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while.

Finally, he said, "Xue'er, give me the seal."

"Uncle!" Huyan Xue seemed to be unprepared for Shangguan Shu's behavior.

Why would he choose that bastard Zhao Ying?

He obviously loves her mother!

Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she did not expect Shangguan Shu to choose Yueer.

He still had some humanity in him.

While the noise was going on here, suddenly, someone at the door shouted: "The Emperor has arrived!!"

"What? The Emperor is here?"

"Why is the Emperor here?"

"The prince has arrived!"

"The prince is here too?"

Everyone was surprised, but Huyan Xue seemed to have seen a savior.

She held the seal and ran towards the door.

As long as it is presented to His Majesty, Shangguan Qingyue will be finished.

Shangguan Qingyue was executed, and Zhao Ying was not far from death either! !

The Crown Princess shouted, "Stop her!"

It's a pity it's too late.

Emperor Jianxi moved very quickly.

Anxious to see old friend for the last time.

Emperor Jianxi and the old Duke truly had a deep friendship. When they were young, they went fishing together and climbed trees to pick birds together. When they grew up, they fought on the battlefield together and governed the country together.

The two of them promised to never let each other down and to be wise rulers and loyal ministers whose names would go down in history!

Emperor Jianxi was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace. When he heard that the old Duke was going to die, he burst into tears and hurried out of the palace. He cried all the way and while crying, he talked to the Crown Prince about their time when they were young, which made the Crown Prince feel very sad.

The two were rushing forward when they were stopped by Huyan Xue.

"I'll present it later if you have something to say!"

"Your Majesty can't wait!"

As everyone finished paying their respects, Cui and Lin knelt for a long time and could not get up, shouting that they had something to say.

Shangguan Shu had Hu Yanxue pulled away and wanted to take the emperor to see his father.

Zhao Ying walked to the side of Emperor Jianxi, took his arm, and advised, "Father, please rest assured, the eunuch is fine for the time being..."

When Emperor Jianxi heard that his old friend was still alive, he felt relieved.

There was someone in my eyes.

Looking down, isn't this the barbarian girl of Princess Huai'an?

"Your Majesty, I have something important to say!"

"Father, let's go see the old Duke first!"

Zhao Ying obviously didn't want the emperor to know, so Huyan Xue sneered and handed over the stone seal directly.

By the way, I also told you about today's vision and the reason for discovering the seal.

"Your Majesty, please look into this matter and give my mother justice! And bring peace to the world!"

Zhao Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Xue'er, why are you so aggressive!"

Emperor Jianxi understood everything as soon as he heard it. It was this incident again.

As a monarch, he was certainly afraid of the evildoer appearing in the country, but the evildoer was his own granddaughter...

Emperor Jianxi understood that given the current situation, if he saw the stone seal, Shangguan Qingyue’s life would be in danger.

Emperor Jianxi couldn't help but resent this barbarian woman in his heart. After all, it was their Great Chu's business. Why were you, a foreign barbarian, making a fuss?

Even if you, the Huns, didn't have these evil spirits, wouldn't your nation still be destroyed?

What a hassle!

With all the officials present, Emperor Jianxi was helpless and reluctantly said, "Wu Yonggui, present it to me!"

Manager Wu: “Yeah!”

He took the stone seal from Hu Yanxue's hand, wiped the dirt off the words with his sleeve, and presented it.

The prince was also curious and stretched his head to look.

Zhao Ying couldn't bear it and looked away.

Hu Yanxue curled her lips proudly.

The next second, the prince's voice was heard, "The way of heaven is clear, the sun and the moon change, the evil spirits are rampant, the heavens are hard to understand..."

Is this really the motto of heaven?

That won’t do! Bury it, bury it, bury it quickly!

Otherwise my sister will cry later!

The prince was about to persuade Emperor Jianxi to stop looking when he saw Emperor Jianxi frowning and then relaxing his brows.

"The dog and the ox are in the southeast of the emperor. If we don't get rid of them, the country will be in trouble!"

"It seems to be a true saying of heaven. I wonder what this sentence 'The dog and the ox are in the last year, the emperor is in the southeast' means. Which minister can explain it to me?"

Hu Yanxue said cleverly, "Your Majesty, the 12th month of the year is the time when the evildoer is born. Southeast..." She smiled frivolously, "Of course that is where the evildoer is!"

The contempt and murderous aura of Emperor Jianxi were terrifying.

"That makes sense... The southeast direction of the palace is similar to what the Imperial Observatory said."

"My dear minister..." Emperor Jianxi looked at Shangguan Shu.

"Chen is here!"

"Is there anyone born in the Year of the Dog in the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Shangguan Shu was silent for a long while before he spoke in a daze, "Your Majesty, my daughter Qingyue was born in the year of the dog..."

Hu Yanxue asked in a shrill, accusing tone, "Aunt, do you have anything else to say?!"

"Xue'er has found the evidence you wanted!"

"Your Majesty, the evildoer who harmed my mother was none other than Shangguan Qingyue. Please, for the sake of the people, bring the evildoer to justice and show fairness!"

Cui and Lin echoed.
