After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"I am guilty of sharing the same bed with the Prince Consort every day, unaware of his evil ambitions. I feel guilty towards my father."

The third princess cried with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

But no one believed it.

"Even now, you still refuse to admit it? You colluded with foreign ministers, interfered with military power, accepted bribes, and obstructed Bai Wu's delivery of the letter. Each and every one of these things were your fault."

The emperor's face was as black as ink.

It's not that he doesn't have any responsibility for the third princess becoming like this, it's just that he indulged her too much.

The third princess's eyes were first filled with heartache, then shock, surprise, and pain.

"Father, I don't know what you are saying. I am truly wronged."

"Father, please trust me."

The third princess knelt heavily on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

The Minister of Justice took out a thick stack of secret letters.

"Third Princess, these letters, please remember, should be written by you personally."

"I compared the Third Princess's handwriting in recent years and it is exactly the same."

The third princess took it in a daze. After opening the letter, her eyes were first filled with shock, and then with fear.

"No, although this handwriting resembles my own, I have never written such a letter."

"What kind of fisherman is this? I don't even know him."

The third princess hurriedly explained, but her words were still too pale.

The Marquis of Southwest China spoke up, "Third Princess, didn't you say we were on the same page? Now that I'm in this state, just confess. I know all about the people you've placed in the Southwest Army, and I've told Your Majesty everything."

The third princess turned her head to look at him, her eyes confused.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Marquis of Southwest. Although you and I have never met, we have always been exchanging letters. I obey your orders." The Marquis of Southwest has given up.

The third princess's face twisted for a moment, then she turned around and kowtowed heavily.

"Father, I do not know the Marquis of Southwest, nor have I colluded with him. The one who colluded with the Marquis should be, should be the Prince Consort... The Prince Consort has already written his suicide note."

She bit her lip, looking unacceptable but helpless.

"But Third Princess, all the letters you exchanged with the Marquis of Southwest are in your handwriting." The Minister of Justice said coldly.

"Your son is not aware of this, your son really is not aware of this..." The third princess seemed to not know how to defend herself and could only keep emphasizing it.

The Minister of Justice has ignored her.

He bowed to his superiors.

"Your Majesty, I have already discovered the other two people that the Third Princess secretly recruited. However, due to their special status, the Ministry of Justice cannot take any action without Your Majesty's authorization."

"Bring him to the palace for me." The emperor almost gritted his teeth.

His identity is not simple, he is either an official appointed by the court or a royal noble.

"Yes."

The Minister of Justice received the order and went to handle it personally.

For a moment, the only sound in Taiji Hall was the crying of the third princess.

The emperor's gaze suddenly fell on the second prince who had been silent.

"Second brother, you grew up with the Third Princess, what do you think of this?"

The Second Prince frowned in embarrassment and said tactfully, "I don't know the details, but if it's true... it's better for Chen Ming to tell the truth."

"My father is a kind and tolerant person. He will definitely..."

The third princess cried even louder: "Don't you believe me either? Wuuwuwu, the prince consort said in the letter that he was in cahoots with you, but I never doubted you."

It seems to be accusing the Second Prince of being ruthless and ungrateful, but in fact it is reminding everyone not to forget that the Second Prince is probably the man behind everything.

Just as they were fighting, Qing Yan suddenly asked, "We are all your flesh and blood. Who do you think is right?"

emperor:……

All the court officials: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly brave, outspoken, courageous and knowledgeable!

Fang Yin thought to himself, this is the feeling of being fearless when being favored.

By the way, Qingyan is really different after he was cured. He is much more lively and speaks a bit like Zhizhi.

It was Zhizhi who cured him of the poison. This must have been a big favor, and he should make good use of it.

Fortunately, the Minister of Justice brought people back and rescued the emperor.

The two people who were tied up and brought in were Mr. Jiang from the Ministry of Works and Mr. Cheng from the Ministry of Construction.

Both of them are fifth-rank officials, but they have real power.

Mr. Jiang was in charge of building and dispatching ships in the Ministry of Works.

The Zuobu was a subsidiary of the Bingbu, specializing in the creation of various weapons.

The third princess is so bold as to collude with these two.

The two adults knelt on the ground, feeling cold all over.

Meanwhile, the Marquis of Southwest, who was standing next to him, inexplicably felt much better, as he finally had someone who was treated the same as him.

"You two adults should know why you were invited here, right?" Yue Zhongchi said with a dignified look.

Lord Jiang and Lord Cheng turned pale and nodded.

The Minister of Justice came directly to arrest people, and their two residences were surrounded by those rough men from the Ministry of Justice.

"Don't quibble in front of His Majesty, tell the truth! Tell me, have you colluded with the third princess in private, or have you defected to the second prince?" Yue Zhongchi went straight to the point.

The Second Prince was displeased: "Master Yue, are you asking this deliberately to lead me on?"

"Why are you in such a hurry, Second Prince? The innocent will be innocent." Yue Zhongchi was not polite.

The second prince clenched his fists and remained silent.

Yue Zhongchi's eyes fell on the two tied people.

"Yes." Lord Jiang was the first to lose his temper: "I was confused for a moment. The Third Princess invited me warmly and tempted me with benefits..."

The third princess wanted to say something, but Yue Zhongchi didn't give her a chance.

"Oh? How did the Third Princess bribe you? The more details the better."

Lord Jiang thought about it.

"The Prince Consort said that the Third Princess and the Second Prince grew up together, and their relationship..."

"Wait." The Minister of Justice suddenly interrupted.

"You mean, the Third Princess didn't show up in person, but the Prince Consort told you?"

"Yes." Lord Jiang nodded.

Mr. Cheng also nodded.

The Minister of Justice suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"You have a fixed date every month to meet and discuss matters, but have you seen the Third Princess?"

Lord Jiang shook his head.

"The Third Princess is a woman after all. How could she show up in public for something like this? It was always the Prince Consort who delivered the message."

Hearing this, everyone felt something was wrong.

The third princess is ambitious and has already been given military power. Is she still afraid of appearing in front of her supporters?

"In other words, ever since you joined the Third Princess, you've never formally discussed any major issues?"

"Yes, the Prince Consort said that in order to conceal our actions, we should keep a distance from the Third Princess and even more from the Second Prince."

Lord Jiang spoke.

Everyone looked at each other and was silent for a while.

The Minister of Justice asked again: "Tell me, what did you do for the Prince Consort? Smuggling weapons, embezzling money from shipbuilding, everything must be explained clearly."

These two things were seen in the letters between them.
