The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

The prince looked at the evidence in front of him, frowning, and his anger was burning. All the evidence seemed to point to Yun Yao's collusion with suspicious people outside the palace, which made him deeply suspicious of Yun Yao. He never thought that this seemingly weak woman would do such a thing.

The prince glared at Yun Yao and asked loudly, "Yun Yao, do you admit your guilt? The evidence is before you, what else do you have to say?"

Yun Yao looked at the prince's angry face, but her heart was very calm. She knew that these evidences must have been forged by Liu Yan'er, with the purpose of framing her. Yun Yao replied calmly: "Prince, these evidences were deliberately forged by someone, with the purpose of framing me. I am loyal to the palace and have never had any improper thoughts."

The prince was a little shaken after hearing Yun Yao's words. He looked at Yun Yao's determined eyes and couldn't help but think of her usual behavior. Although Yun Yao had a weak personality, she was kind and intelligent, and didn't seem like someone who would betray the palace.

"What evidence do you have to prove that these evidences are forged?" asked the prince.

Yun Yao calmly analyzed, "Your Highness, please look at these evidences. First, the handwriting of these so-called correspondences with suspicious people outside the palace is completely different from mine. Your Highness should have seen my handwriting, which is obviously different from the handwriting on these letters. Secondly, there are many unreasonable contents in these letters. For example, some of the places and people mentioned in them are not recognized by me at all. Moreover, the paper and ink of these letters are also different from those commonly used in the palace. It is obvious that someone deliberately forged them."

After listening to Yun Yao's analysis, the prince's suspicion became stronger. He began to carefully examine the evidence and indeed found some flaws. However, he still couldn't completely believe Yun Yao's words, after all, the evidence looked very realistic.

"Even if these evidences have flaws, they cannot completely prove that you are innocent." said the prince.

Yun Yao continued, "Your Highness, I can accept the investigation. Please send someone to carefully investigate the source of the evidence. We will definitely find the person who forged the evidence. I believe that the truth will come out."

The prince pondered for a moment and decided to send someone to investigate the authenticity of the evidence. He ordered his chief guard to lead a team to conduct an in-depth investigation of the evidence.

The chief guard took the order and started the intense investigation. They first carefully analyzed the letters in the evidence, trying to find more flaws. After some effort, they found that the seals on the letters were also problematic. The patterns and fonts of these seals were very different from the seals commonly used in the palace, and they were obviously forged.

Then, the captain of the imperial guards began to investigate the source of the letter. Following the clues in the letter, they found some people who had contact with suspicious people outside the palace. After interrogation, these people said that they did not know Yun Yao and had no contact with her.

As the investigation deepened, more and more evidence showed that the evidence was forged. The chief guard began to suspect Liu Yan'er, because she had always been jealous of Yun Yao and had enough motive to frame Yun Yao.

The chief guard decided to investigate Liu Yan'er. They secretly monitored Liu Yan'er's every move, trying to find evidence that she was related to the forgery. After several days of surveillance, they finally found some suspicious signs.

One night, Liu Yan'er's maid secretly left the palace and met a stranger. The chief guard sent someone to follow the maid and found that she handed something to the stranger. The chief guard thought that the stranger was likely the one who forged the evidence, so he decided to arrest the maid and the stranger for interrogation.

The chief guard led his men to attack quickly and captured the maid and the stranger in one fell swoop. After some interrogation, the maid finally admitted that she was instructed by Liu Yan'er to forge evidence to frame Yun Yao.

The stranger also confessed that he was hired by Liu Yan'er to forge evidence. He forged the correspondence with suspicious people outside the palace according to Liu Yan'er's request, trying to frame Yun Yao.

The truth was finally revealed. The captain of the guards brought the evidence, the maid, and the stranger back to the palace and reported the results of the investigation to the prince.

The prince was very angry after listening to the report from the chief guard. He did not expect Liu Yan'er to be so insidious and would do anything to frame Yun Yao.

The prince immediately called Liu Yan'er over, glared at her and asked, "Liu Yan'er, do you admit your guilt? You forged all this evidence, didn't you?"

Liu Yan'er was very panicked when she saw the truth. She knew she could not escape punishment this time, but she still tried to argue: "Your Majesty, I was wronged. These evidences were not forged by me. Someone must have deliberately framed me."

The prince said angrily: "At this point, you still dare to quibble? The evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"

Seeing that the prince had already determined her guilt, Liu Yan'er knew that it was useless to argue any further. She lowered her head and shed tears silently.

The prince was extremely disappointed with Liu Yan'er's behavior. He had always thought that Liu Yan'er was a gentle and kind woman, but he didn't expect her to be so insidious and vicious.

"Liu Yan'er, you disappoint me so much. You actually did such a thing to frame Yun Yao. Do you know how much trouble your behavior has brought to the palace?" said the prince.

Liu Yan'er cried and said, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I did this because I was jealous of Yun Yao. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The prince shook his head and said, "You are too jealous. Your behavior cannot be forgiven. I will punish you and let you know your mistakes."

The prince decided to severely punish Liu Yan'er. He confined Liu Yan'er to her house for a month and cut her monthly allowance. Liu Yan'er's maid was also expelled from the palace because she participated in the falsification of evidence.

Liu Yan'er's frame-up failed, and she was punished instead. Her hatred for Yun Yao deepened. She secretly vowed to find a chance to take revenge on Yun Yao.

The author says:

In this chapter, Yun Yao successfully cleared herself of the grievances with her calmness and wisdom. Liu Yan'er's conspiracy was eventually exposed and she received the punishment she deserved. The development of this plot not only shows Yun Yao's strength and courage, but also reveals Liu Yan'er's insidiousness and viciousness. At the same time, it also allows us to see the ugliness of human nature driven by power and jealousy. I hope that readers can get some inspiration from reading this chapter, learn to stay calm when facing difficulties, and use wisdom to solve problems. At the same time, we must also be wary of the harm of jealousy and not let it control our behavior.
