After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"Drag out!"

At the emperor's command, the imperial guards at the door came in, grabbed Marquis Yong'an's arm and dragged him out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please give me another chance for my elder sister's sake!"

"emperor!!!"

The terrified and desperate voice of Yong'an Hou echoed throughout the imperial study. Princess Suhua didn't care about Yong'an Hou's life or death. She pointed at Bai Youyou with anger and said, "Uncle Emperor, now the evidence is irrefutable. You should order the execution of this bitch!"

The emperor frowned slightly and glanced at Bai Youyou on the ground with a cold look, "Bai Youyou, Jiang Hui was killed by you, what do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, it was Jiang Hui who imprisoned and humiliated me first, and I accidentally killed him. The prefect of Yucheng had already investigated the matter at that time. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to retrieve the case, or ask the prefect of Yucheng for questioning."

The emperor just stared at her quietly, with no expression on his face.

At this time, the Third Prince, who had been standing silently by the side, slowly spoke up: "Father, Bai Youyou is just a weak girl in the boudoir, how could she kill Jiang Hui? Moreover, Jiang Hui is usually arrogant and domineering, so it is not surprising that he would imprison and humiliate her. As she said, she was also acting in self-defense."

He didn't want to anger the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion because of this matter. Even if he was disliked by the emperor, he had to speak up and help today.

The emperor glanced at him with cold eyes without a trace of emotion. With just one glance, the Third Prince felt as if he was stared at by a poisonous snake, and all his muscles tensed up.

Princess Suhua was anxious when she heard this and said hurriedly, "Uncle Emperor, don't be fooled by them! The Third Prince has close ties with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and they have a very close relationship. You can't trust what they say!"

The Third Prince glanced at her lightly and said, "Since these are all one-sided statements, why not let Lord Zhao go to Yucheng to investigate the matter thoroughly?"

Princess Suhua was suddenly speechless and her eyes were evasive.

She had already asked Manager Chen about the truth, and it was indeed her son Jiang Hui's fault.

But her son Jiang Hui is the eldest son of a marquisate, and has a noble status. It is her blessing that he falls in love with this bitch, but this bitch doesn't know how to appreciate it!

Thinking of this, she suddenly became righteous again, "She killed someone, so she should pay with her life!"

When the Crown Prince heard that the Third Prince wanted Zhao Qingming to go to Yucheng to investigate the case, a hint of nervousness flashed across his eyes.

The emperor on the throne turned his gaze back to Bai Youyou, "I will send someone to investigate this matter. If what you said is true, I will not make it difficult for you, but if you are lying, I will not forgive you easily!"

Manager Chen and others were at the scene, and it was clearly written in the confession that the emperor had his own little thoughts in mind when he did this.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has always acted cautiously, and he has been unable to find any evidence against them over the years. Now that the people have been brought to him, he must take this opportunity to suppress them!

Bai Youyou knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The third prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cast a soothing look at Bai Youyou.

Bai Youyou ignored him.

If Jiang Hui's affairs are exposed, the only one who will be in trouble will be Marquis Yong'an. The one in trouble today is not Jiang Hui, but Li Wenchang's father.

Princess Suhua was unwilling to give in. Her eyes were red and her voice was raised, "Uncle Emperor!!"

Before the emperor could get angry, the prince took three steps forward and said respectfully, "Father, I have something to report as well."

The emperor suppressed his anger and looked at him coldly, "What's the matter?"

"I want to report the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion for condoning Bai Youyou's crimes and harming innocent people!"

The prince's words stunned everyone present, and they all looked at the pretty girl kneeling on the ground.

Just one murder happened, how come another one happened?

The Third Prince didn't know this, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "How is it possible?"

After the emperor was stunned for a moment, his cloudy eyes suddenly became bright.

"Who did she kill? Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"She killed the father of my son's tutor's grandson-in-law." The prince described vividly, "The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is a powerful and influential place with enormous power. My tutor did not dare to offend him. His grandson-in-law Li Wenchang had nowhere else to turn so he found me."

"After I learned about this, I immediately sent someone to investigate. This investigation shocked me. It was Bai Youyou who killed the man, but Jingzhao Yin Xu used his power for personal gain and protected Bai Youyou, hastily closing the case on the grounds that Bai Youyou drowned after getting drunk and accidentally falling into the pond!"

Bai Youyou raised her head, her eyes full of calmness, without any panic, "Your Highness, please don't spit bloody words at me, I didn't kill anyone!"

The emperor saw that she looked calm and suspicious, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, although I am only a girl, I know that human life is at stake. I did go out with my friends that day, but I did not kill anyone, let alone harm anyone!" Bai Youyou said slowly: "Lord Xu handled the case impartially, everything was in accordance with the law, and he never showed favoritism."

Zhao Qingming didn't expect that this matter would involve his junior fellow apprentice. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xu is honest and upright, and he will never do such a thing of partiality and perverting the law. Please investigate!"

The Third Prince then helped to speak up, "Father, Lord Xu has always been upright and honest, and he is a man of integrity. He would never do such a thing. Besides, I believe Miss Bai would not do such a cruel thing. Someone must have deliberately framed her."

The prince sneered, "Third brother, you have always been close to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, so you are speaking for them. If I didn't have evidence, I would never dare to bring this matter to my father."

Both witnesses and material evidence are complete. Bai Youyou cannot clear herself of guilt even if she jumps into the Yellow River!

Zhao Qingming bowed and said, "Your Majesty, all the colleagues in the court have seen the character of Lord Xu. This matter must be carefully investigated. We must not wrongly accuse the good, nor condone the evil!"

"Lord Zhao is absolutely right." The emperor nodded slightly. He changed into a comfortable posture and raised his chin towards the eunuch beside him: "Go and summon Lord Xu, the Jingzhao Yin, to the palace. I want to interrogate him personally."

In the imperial study, everyone else had a grim look on their faces.

The emperor was drinking tea from the teacup. Princess Suhua on the ground had not expected this to happen, and the look of relief on her face was not concealed at all.

"You vicious little bitch, you relied on the support of the Duke of Zhenguo to commit violence and evil! When the truth is revealed, I will cut you into pieces to comfort my son's spirit in heaven!"

Bai Youyou glared at her coldly and retorted, "If anyone is guilty of all kinds of evil, it must be your son Jiang Hui! He relies on his status to exploit the ignorant people in the countryside, acts tyrannically and does all kinds of evil!"

Princess Suhua's face turned pale. She was about to open her mouth to curse again, but she saw from the corner of her eye that the emperor's face had darkened, so she gritted her teeth and shut up.

Not long after, Xu Lingyun came in hurriedly in his official uniform, "Your Highness."

After paying his respects, he stood upright in the center of the hall.
