The Regent secretly read the diary, and I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's

"Father, it was I who brought the Imperial Aunt into the Seventh Brother's palace."

A tender child's voice was heard, and Xie Yunxiao finally got the chance to speak.

The emperor immediately turned his gaze to him, his brows furrowed, "It's you? Twelfth Prince, why did you bring your aunt here? This is so unruly, how can it be so disrespectful! Moreover, I remember that I had previously ordered you to be confined to the Regent's Palace, and you dared to openly disobey my order!"

Seeing this, the queen quickly seized the opportunity and tried to divert the emperor's anger.

"Your Majesty, the twelfth prince is young and ignorant. Please be lenient with him."

Shen Wanwan secretly sighed in her heart, "Why did this little fat guy jump out at this time? Isn't this giving that woman a handle? Now it seems that I was brought here by this eight or nine-year-old kid on purpose."

She tried to break free and wanted to explain to the Queen, but Xie Jingchuan seemed to have seen through her intentions and held her tightly in his arms.

Shen Wanwan was angry, [Does this man want to suffocate me to death? ]

The system cheered on the side, [Isn’t this mission accomplished? ]

Xie Jingchuan: .....

In fact, he just didn't want the woman in his arms to ruin his plan. This matter couldn't be delayed any longer!

"Father, do you still remember the reason why you expelled me from the palace? It was because a palace maid disappeared, and my seventh brother claimed that this matter was closely related to me. Now, I beg you to order a search of the palace to verify the truth." Xie Yunxiao responded calmly according to what Xie Jingchuan had taught him.

When the queen heard this, her heart tightened. How could the twelfth prince, who was so young, be so meticulous?

There must be someone behind this.

But at this moment, she had no time to care about anything else, so she could only hurriedly explain: "Twelfth Prince, you are wrongly accusing your Seventh Brother! How can you search the palace at will?"

Xie Yunxiao responded calmly: "If your mother feels that I have wronged my seventh brother, then you should let the imperial guards search. If you can find something, then it would be better to use evidence to prove my seventh brother's innocence, wouldn't it?"

Having said this, everyone present felt that what Xie Yunxiao said made sense.

The emperor directly ordered the imperial guards to search the palace.

And Shen Wanwan, who was "hiding" in Xie Jingchuan's arms, gradually understood Xie Jingchuan's intention at this moment.

She said to the system: [Tongtong, can you scan the floor plan of this palace? I suddenly felt that Xie Yunxiao was right. The missing maid might be hiding in this palace. If they dare to be so bold, there must be a dark room or secret passage! ]

If the palace maid was really hidden here, then she must have been killed.

In order to get rid of suspicion, at this critical moment, Xie Zhuoyu would certainly not dare to dispose of the body at will.

As soon as Shen Wanwan finished speaking, she mobilized her inner strength and began to secretly search the entire palace.

She felt as if her inner strength had turned into an invisible beam, shuttling through every corner of the palace, searching for possible secrets.

Although Xie Jingchuan didn't understand what Shen Wanwan meant by "scan", he could guess it a little.

I just don't know who is faster, Shen Wanwan or the imperial guards.

After about half an incense stick of time, the imperial guards, who were divided into several groups, came back to report.

"Your Majesty, no suspicious areas were found."

When Xie Jingchuan heard this, he frowned slightly and felt a little disappointed.

Shen Wanwan did not give up. She continued to search Xie Jingchuan's arms quietly.

Xie Zhuoyu, who was not far away, also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words of the imperial guards.

Visibly relaxed.

The Queen was even more proud at this moment, "Your Majesty, the facts prove that the Seventh Prince was instigated to do such a thing."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Wanwan who was still hiding in Xie Jingchuan's arms.

"I will not pursue Miss Shen's responsibility. Just treat it as a lesson for the Seventh Prince! Eighth brother, since she is your beloved, you can deal with her yourself!"

The meaning is obvious!

It turns out that the person the Regent likes is just a bitch!

Xie Zhuoyu also came back to his senses, "Father, I really know my mistake. I promise that there will never be a next time!"

If no one was killed, then from Xie Zhuoyu's point of view, at most only a few palace maids were hurt!

The biggest problem now is Shen Wanwan!

The emperor finally cooled down a bit after seeing this matter and didn't want to create any more trouble.

"Eighth brother, since you have a special relationship with Miss Shen, and the Seventh Prince accidentally offended her, what do you want to do?"

This is also very clever. Although on the surface it gives the decision-making power to Xie Jingchuan, there is also a warning in the words that everything should be done in moderation!

Besides, Xie Zhuoyu is just a child, and Xie Jingchuan can't delve into it further.

"Royal brother..."

Just as Xie Jingchuan was about to speak, he heard Shen Wanwan's inner voice: "Finally found it, it's the dry well in the backyard! Oh my god, I'm going to yue!!"

When Xie Jingchuan heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He took the opportunity to say to the emperor: "Brother, the last time I came here, I saw a dry well in the backyard. I wonder if the imperial guards have gone there to check?"

Shen Wanwan:......?

system:.......

[Host, he is faster than you! You can't do that, host! ]

-

By the dry well,

Corpses were dragged up one after another, and the indescribable stench instantly filled the air, making people feel sick.

However, no one present dared to leave, and no one dared to show the slightest discomfort.

The emperor's majesty made them feel suffocated and they could only force themselves to swallow the feeling of nausea.

Although the corpse on the top has been completely unrecognizable, you can still vaguely recognize its appearance when it was alive.

The nanny beside the emperor collapsed instantly when she saw the body. She threw herself beside the body desperately and burst into tears.

"Hui'er, my Hui'er! How could you be so cruel to leave me alone..." Her cry was heartbreaking and moving.

This palace maid was the one who had disappeared before and was killed by the Seventh Prince and given to the Twelfth Prince.

She was the emperor's nanny, so the matter was made into such a big deal.

Xie Yunxiao is so unlucky!

Just being used as a scapegoat!

The commander of the imperial guards stepped forward and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, we have pulled all the bodies out of the well. There are fifteen bodies in total, all of them are women."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became more solemn.

The emperor's face turned pale. He pointed at the guards in front of him and shouted angrily, "Great! I have supported so many of you, but you can't even find a dry well! How did you search?!"

In fact, the imperial guards cannot be blamed entirely. The body was thrown into a dry well and a stone was placed on top of it.

All the imperial guards knelt on the ground and each received 30 military sticks!

The fact that the Seventh Prince murdered the palace maids was now a foregone conclusion.

It would be fine if he was just cruel and bloodthirsty by nature.

It just so happened that these women were all bullied and tortured to death by him.

The seventh prince Xie Zhuoyu was completely panicked at this moment. He originally wanted to make a few excuses, but when he saw the emperor's livid face and the nanny's grief-stricken look, he knew that he no longer had any chance to defend himself.

The queen also looked pale. She originally wanted to excuse her son, but at this moment she couldn't utter a word.

The emperor looked at all this and his anger grew stronger and stronger.

He looked at Xie Zhuoyu and the Queen coldly, and asked in a cold voice: "Queen, Seventh Prince, what else do you have to say? Now defend yourself and say that this is just the first time! Were you instigated by someone, or that these palace maids ran in on their own!"
