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

Xu Lingyun almost named the prince and said it was the prince who made the threat.

Princess Suhua, who was standing by, jumped up from the ground. She snorted coldly, "Master Xu, everyone in the capital knows that you have a close relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I've heard people say that you and Lu were already having an affair before the divorce."

She sneered at Xu Lingyun and said, "I'm afraid it won't be long before Bai Youyou becomes your stepdaughter, right?"

"Princess Suhua, please be careful with your words!"

Hearing this, Xu Lingyun's expression suddenly turned cold, "You are also a woman, how can you slander others' reputation like this?"

"Rumors stop at the wise, fools naturally can't distinguish right from wrong!"

Bai Youyou raised his head and looked at Xu Lingyun, "Master Xu, a person of integrity has nothing to fear. There is no need to bother with a fool."

Dare to call her a fool?!

"Humph!" Princess Suhua laughed in anger, "No fly would bite an egg without a crack. I've done it, so why should others criticize me?"

"A woman's virtue is chastity, a woman's speech is politeness, a woman's appearance is gentleness, and a woman's work is silk and hemp." Lord Zhang, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely, put down his teacup and glanced at Princess Suhua indifferently, "As a princess of the royal family, how can you be so outspoken?"

His words made Princess Suhua blush.

It's not shame, it's anger.

She clenched her fists and clenched her teeth.

He could ignore his status and mock Bai Youyou and others, but Lord Zhang was the emperor's uncle and a meritorious official who helped the emperor ascend the throne.

Even the emperor had to give him some face, so how could she have the courage to confront him?

"It's Su Hua Wuzhuang."

When Princess Suhua turned around, she glared at Bai Youyou fiercely.

No one else took Princess Suhua's words to heart, but the emperor above had an idea.

His eyes swept across Xu Lingyun's face imperceptibly, and his dark eyes narrowed.

The prince noticed the coldness that flashed across his eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

My father is a suspicious person by nature. No matter what the outcome of Bai Youyou is today, Xu Lingyun will not be able to stay in the position of Jingzhao Yin for long!

He stepped forward and bowed, "Father, please continue the trial."

The emperor nodded.

The prince turned around and looked down at Qiao Bing, "Qiao Bing, tell me the truth. How did you and Bai Youyou conspire to murder Liang Xiucai's father?"

Qiao Bing lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

The prince's voice was chilling, "In Chunlan Courtyard, I have asked someone to write down everything you said, so don't try to get yourself killed!"

Chunlanyuan——

Chun'er is in Chunlan Courtyard!

Qiao Bing raised his head with difficulty and looked at Bai Youyou with guilt on his face.

"Your Highness, I am innocent. Someone ordered me to do all this."

The wound on his face had formed a scab, and dried blood had covered half of Qiao Bing's face. Every word he said seemed to be forced out of his throat, and it sounded hoarse and unpleasant.

The Third Prince's face darkened, "Don't talk nonsense, Bai Youyou has no grudge against Liang Wenchang, so why would he kill his father?"

The prince raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Third brother, whether Bai Youyou killed him or not, there is naturally evidence to prove it."

Qiao Bing didn't dare to look into Bai Youyou's cold eyes. His ten broken fingers were shaking uncontrollably.

"She had no grudge against Liang Wenchang. It was just that day when I went with her to look for someone, we happened to see Liang Wenchang's father almost beating Liang Wenchang and his brother to death. She hated evil and immediately asked me to knock Liang Wenchang's father unconscious. She also ordered me to throw him into the pond to make it look like he was drunk and drowned."

Zhao Qingming frowned and asked sternly, "Without evidence, how can you prove that it was Bai Youyou who ordered you to do this, and not that you deliberately put the blame on her?"

"Many villagers saw me and her together that day. Your Highness can send someone to investigate this matter."

Qiao Bing took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve with shaking hands, "This is what Bai Youyou dropped at that time."

"Besides the handkerchief, do you have any other evidence?" Zhao Qingming took the handkerchief and looked at it. "If it's just a handkerchief, it won't count."

Qiao Bing shook his head, "No."

Princess Suhua on the side sneered, "Is this handkerchief not dropped? Someone handed it over personally, right?"

Bai Youyou looked at her as if she were a clown, and was too lazy to pay attention to her. She just said coldly: "I don't know how many handkerchiefs there are in my room. You can find a few in my previous boudoirs. How can this be used as evidence?"

"Girls' handkerchiefs are their personal belongings. Whose good girl would throw her personal belongings around like that?"

Princess Suhua was like a mad dog, she wouldn't let go of Bai Youyou.

"Didn't you say before that you knocked the man unconscious?" Zhao Qingming's eyes swept across her face with disgust, and he turned to ask Qiao Bing: "Whether it was murder or not, we'll know after we open the coffin and do an autopsy!"

"Whether it is slander or not, we can only prove it by exhuming the coffin and performing an autopsy."

The prince's words made Bai Youyou grit her teeth.

Liang Wenchang's father had long been dead, and the corpse that appeared out of nowhere must be a fake one they found.

She looked at Liang Wenchang, who had his shoulders drooped and his head bowed, with a cold gaze, "Liang Xiucai, your father's body has been burned to ashes, hasn't it?"

"Miss Bai, I——"

Liang Wenchang raised his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The prince at the side was playing with the imperial green jade pendant. He looked away in panic, lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice, "No, no."

The prince bowed to the emperor and said, "The truth will be revealed once we investigate. Father, please order a thorough investigation of this case!"

The emperor nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Then open the coffin and examine the body."

He raised his chin towards the eunuch beside him and said, "Go, tell my order to have the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lang Zhixing, lead people to thoroughly investigate this case."

Zhao Qingming frowned and couldn't help but worry about Xu Lingyun.

The emperor chose the faraway place over the near one, which clearly showed that he was suspicious of Junior Brother Xu! !

Lang Zhixing came to the imperial study and looked at the people in the study, clicking his tongue in his heart.

On the way here, he asked the eunuch who delivered the message and had a general understanding of the matter.

This is a fight between the King of Hell and the devils are suffering. These people will never be able to enter the palace in their lifetime, and I don't know how many of them will be able to walk out of it unscathed this time.

"See the Emperor."

"You must quickly take people to the North City and dig up the body of Liang Wenchang's father. Let the coroner examine the bones to find out the cause of death."

"Yes."

Lang Zhixing took the order and when he turned around, he secretly glanced at Zhao Qingming with a helpless look on his face.

The sound of footsteps beside her ears gradually faded away. Bai Youyou pursed her lips, feeling as if her heart was weighed down by a huge rock.

The prince had planned this matter a long time ago. Needless to say, the bones they dug out must be consistent with what Qiao Bing said.

There is both witnesses and physical evidence, and she still can't explain herself even if she has a hundred mouths.

It's like yellow mud has entered my crotch. It's already shit if it's not.

Outside the imperial study, the young eunuch bowed and walked in slowly, "Your Majesty, the old lady of the Zhenguogong is here."

The emperor frowned his sparse brows, but still suppressed his displeasure and asked someone to invite the old lady in.
