A funny girl traveled through time to become a princess and dated a general
Chapter 18: Cutting the Gordian knot, Minister Zhang confessed the traitor!
Sixue and Lingyan walked out of Wangchun Tower together.
Si Xue thought: "This is simply unbelievable. What kind of love triangle is this? It was clearly the fault of the father, but the princess has to bear the responsibility alone. I must reveal the truth to him and give the princess justice."
Sixue's eyes gradually became deep, as if she could see the princess's past experiences through what Dongli said. Her brows were slightly wrinkled, and her lips were tightly closed, as if she was trying to restrain her inner emotions. Her hands were unconsciously clenched, and her nails almost dug into her palms.
The air around her seemed to become heavy because of her emotions, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Sixue's breathing became a little rapid, and her chest rose and fell slightly, as if an invisible force was squeezing her. Her expression became more and more serious, as if she was thinking about something important.
Finally, Sixue sighed softly, as if releasing all the heaviness in her heart.
There was a flash of determination in Sixue's eyes, as if she had made a decision at this moment.
Seeing Sixue's expression, Lingyan asked: "Are you okay? This is not your fault, it's the fault of the three of them. If you feel sad, then just scold me or beat me up! I can be your punching bag."
Si Xue stared at him and said with a smile: "I'm not sad, you're right, if that's the truth then it's a matter between the three of them. As for being the punching bag, don't say no when I need you. And we have to reveal this truth."
Ling Yan said: "Well, we must reveal the truth to him. And I want to tell you that I have found relevant evidence of the ministers colluding with the traitors. I will hand over the evidence to His Majesty when I go to court tomorrow."
Sixue said: "Okay."
Then they walked back home hand in hand.
On the second day, Ling Yan brought the evidence to the hall.
Lingyan sent the eunuch beside the emperor to hand over the evidence. Lingyan said: "I have something to report, Your Majesty, please look at these evidences."
The emperor said: "Why are you showing me these?"
Ling Yan said: "Minister Zhang Chengfei and some other ministers secretly colluded with the traitors. This is the evidence of their collusion with the traitors. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Zhang Chengfei and other ministers looked at Ling Yan in disbelief. Zhang Chengfei and other ministers knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this is not true. The general is wronging me! It is truly unjust!"
The emperor said angrily: "Now the facts are in front of me and the evidence is in front of me, why don't you tell the truth?"
Minister Zhang lost control for a moment, pulled out the guard's knife and rushed straight towards Lingyan. Lingyan was not someone to be trifled with, and with a backflip the minister fell to the ground.
Ling Yan asked: "Who did you secretly collude with to become a traitor?" The minister said: "I won't tell you, no matter how hard you try to pry my mouth open."
Seeing his stubbornness, the emperor was furious and ordered his men to drag him away. Then the emperor said, "Who else? Who else is colluding with him to join the rebels? If you don't tell the truth, you will be severely punished." Those ministers who had collusion came forward one after another.
The emperor sent people to arrest them and put them in jail, where Lingyan interrogated them one by one.
Lingyan came to the prison and interrogated them one by one. Lingyan could not help but walk to Minister Zhang and asked: "Minister Zhang, why don't you confess the traitor? Who are you colluding with? Don't you care about your family?" Minister Zhang said: "So what if I care? So what if I don't care? In the end, I was discovered and I can't go back to the starting point."
Ling Yan said: "As long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and repent, and tell us who the traitor is, His Majesty may spare your life."
Minister Zhang said: "General, it's easy for you to say it, but it's hard to do it! You think it's too simple. How can His Majesty forgive someone who colluded with the traitor?"
Ling Yan said: "I will send someone to release you later. I brought some paper and pen, as well as food. If you want to repent, just write it down." Ling Yan said and went out.
At night, Ling Yan came to the prison to look for Minister Zhang again. Suddenly, she discovered something extremely strange: all the soldiers in the prison suddenly fell down.
Ling Yan checked a soldier's body and found nothing abnormal, as if he had been knocked unconscious by something.
Ling Yan suddenly had an idea and thought: "Why are these people so strange? Could it be that they are traitors and are coming for Minister Zhang?"
Lingyan thought more and more that something was not right, so she ran to Minister Zhang's prison and found that he had been poisoned. Lingyan thought more and more that something was not right, could there be a traitor in this prison too?
Ling Yan looked at the food on the table, but the piece of paper was missing. Ling Yan thought: "Will Minister Zhang leave something for me?"
Lingyan searched carefully and found the piece of paper in the straw mat. Lingyan quickly put it away.
The next day, Ling Yan hurriedly reported to the emperor early in the morning. He showed the emperor the note, and Minister Zhang wrote it down.
Minister Zhang wrote in the letter: "Lingyan, I must be dead by the time you see this letter. Yes, I colluded with the traitor. The traitor said that if I was willing to help him, he would give me more benefits. I was deceived after all! When I heard you say that if I was willing to hand over the information of the traitor, you could ask for mercy from His Majesty. But it was too late after all. I still want to tell you to be careful! The traitor is very cunning. They always send someone to tell me all the information in the palace, but they never keep their promises. Moreover, I have a reasonable suspicion that all this is related to Rongqiguo. Well, that's all. Please apologize to His Majesty for me."
After reading it, His Majesty said: "Order the people to release all the Zhang family members. There is unrest in Lingyan's palace. There are traitors. You must work harder to find those traitors!"
Lingyan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." Your Majesty then asked, "Did the officials who followed Minister Zhang get any results from the interrogation?"
Ling Yan replied: "They all confessed that it was Minister Zhang who instigated them to collude with the traitors."
The emperor asked: "Do you think it is credible, Lingyan?" Lingyan said: "This reason is too perfunctory. They actually put all the responsibility on Minister Zhang. It can be seen that this is a serious situation."
The emperor smiled and said: "You are a smart man. You have to investigate it for me. Do you hear me?"
Ling Yan said: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust." After saying this, she withdrew.
At this moment, Qi Yue rushed into the palace and said anxiously: "General, something bad has happened. There was a sudden fire in the house for some reason."
Ling Yan pinched his shoulders with both hands and asked anxiously: "Have Si Xue, Fu Ling and the others come out?"
Qi Yue said: "Fortunately, the fire has been put out, thanks to Madam's guidance."
Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty looked at her from the side and said, "You all think I'm invisible, don't you?"
Ling Yan and Qi Yue both knelt down, and Ling Yan said: "It is your fault that I offended you. I should not have ignored you."
The emperor smiled and said, "Everyone, get up. Don't be so nervous."
The emperor then ordered Qi Yue to leave, and the two of them whispered to each other, as if they were plotting something...
