In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

In the early morning, sunlight shone into the room through the window sill, shining on Ren Zhang's face as he lay on the bed. Ren Zhang opened his eyes sleepily, stretched himself, and got up to prepare to return to the capital.

When he opened the door, he was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him - he saw a large group of officials standing outside the door. They rushed into the house aggressively, frightening Ren Zhang and shouting: "What are you doing?"

"We're here to get you!" shouted one of the captains, who was dressed in black and had a long sword on his waist.

Ren Zhang was terrified and quickly explained: "I am the military advisor of the Third Prince. How dare you arrest me?"

However, the captain ignored his words and decisively ordered: "Catch him and search him."

Ren Zhang wanted to struggle, but the officers quickly stepped forward, pushed him to the ground, and began to search him. After a while, they found an exquisite jade pendant with dragon pattern on Ren Zhang.

When the officials saw the jade pendant, their faces instantly turned serious. One of them carefully examined the jade pendant and exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is something that the emperor carries with him!"

Hearing this, the head of the police was also shocked. He immediately ordered the officers to continue searching the house, leaving no corner untouched.

Soon, the officers discovered something unusual in the kitchen and found two shivering women in a corner.

Someone recognized them, "This is Lan Jian's mother and wife. They should be in the brothel. Why are they here?"

The head of the police shouted, "How dare you take the exiled prisoner's wife and daughter-in-law as your mistresses! Take them away!"

The three men were tied up, their heads were covered with black cloths, their mouths were stuffed with rags, and they were thrown into a carriage.

Soon, the three were sent to the Jingzhao government office, and the military officer Lu personally brought officials from the government office to the prison for interrogation.

The two women were whipped so hard that their skin was torn and blood splattered, and they confessed.

They didn't know much, and all they confessed was, "Our Lan family has surrendered to the Third Prince and is at his disposal. My daughter is also his person."

Ren Zhang used much heavier punishments. He had been beaten with a stick before, which broke his leg. He could withstand the beatings and whippings, and refused to confess. "I don't know. They are secret prostitutes. I paid them money to sleep with them, and they put the dragon badge in my pocket."

Lord Lu got the advice from someone and ordered someone to brand Ren Zhang with an iron plate. The red-hot iron plate was then pressed against Ren Zhang's body.

“Ah…ah…ah…” Ghost cries and wolf howls were heard from the dungeon, and the pungent smell of burnt pork wafted everywhere.

After several brandings with the iron, Ren Zhang was in so much pain that he began to confess.

Lord Lu asked, "Where did you get the dragon pendant?"

"It was given to me by the Third Prince." Ren Zhang was unable to explain where he got the dragon pendant, so he offered it to the Third Prince, expecting him to save his life.

Lord Lu saw that the matter involved the prince and did not want to continue the trial.

Lord Lu reluctantly asked again, "Why did the Third Prince give you this dragon pendant?"

"He wants to replace the prince..." Ren Zhang was dizzy with pain, uttered half a sentence, then woke up in shock and didn't say anything else.

If Ren Zhang remained rational and did not confess, perhaps the Third Prince would find a way to protect him.

If he tells it all, his life will be in danger.

Lord Lu was shocked when he heard this and dared not continue the interrogation.

How could he dare to know too much about this suspected case of treason?

If the third prince doesn't die, he and his entire family will be the ones to die.

Lord Lu handed the confession to the Ministry of Justice and revealed it to Prince Consort Qin, "The interrogation revealed that the Third Prince was involved."

Prince Consort Qin was looking forward to seeing the Third Prince being punished by the Emperor.

The Minister of Justice was also panicked after receiving the confession, and went to the Prime Minister to ask, "Prime Minister, this is terrible, what should we do about this?"

Prime Minister Pei read the confession and said, "This is a dispute between royal brothers. Ask your majesty how to deal with it."

The Prime Minister showed the confession to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the confession of the interrogation of the Third Prince's Mansion's military advisor Ren. Do you want to continue the interrogation?"

The emperor first asked: "Why did the officials from the government office think of arresting him?"

"Reporting to your majesty, someone has secretly reported that there is a courtyard at the foot of Nanshan Mountain where the wife of the guilty minister is hidden."

"In the morning, the government sent officials to check and found that it was Lan Jian's mother and wife. They had been sold from the brothel before. After interrogating the madam, she said that they were secretly kidnapped and not sold by her." The prime minister explained the reason.

"Humph, Ren Zhang actually has connections with the Lan family." The emperor snorted coldly.

He said sullenly, "I spared the Lan family this time, but they dared to flee while guilty. All of them will be executed!"

"I obey, Your Majesty."

The emperor picked up the confession, glanced at it, threw it on the table, and said coldly: "Ren is biting the prince in order to survive."

"Such people should be skinned alive and their tendons drawn out."

"I obey, Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Pei knew this would be the result.

Even if the emperor knew that the third prince was plotting treason, he would not punish him.

In that case, wouldn’t the emperor be controlled by others?

What if, who set up this trap?

The emperor did not allow the government office to continue the interrogation, which made the officials of the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao government office breathe a sigh of relief.

The Ministry of Justice hastily closed the case in accordance with the emperor's order.

Princess Daning and Prince Consort Qin were very disappointed and depressed when they found out, "We revealed that the Third Prince was plotting treason, but the Emperor didn't punish him."

The news that the Ministry of Justice had closed the case also reached the Qi Mansion.

Qi Wan heard Wu Yi's report, "Miss, Lan Jian's wife and mother were found guilty of escaping and sentenced to beheading."

"All those who were exiled were beheaded in their place of exile."

"Ren Zhang stole valuables from the royal family and framed the prince to get away. His family was confiscated and his skin was peeled off, his sons were beheaded, and his women were sent to a brothel."

"The execution will take place tomorrow."

Qi Wan clapped his hands and laughed, "They finally got what they deserved. It's retribution!"

Wu Yi is now nominally Qi Wan's trusted maid, but in private the two are more like friends.

Wu Yi knows Ren Zhang's past and how he helped the Third Prince plot against Qi Wan, and used the Third Prince's ambition to seek revenge.

The master sent someone to the capital to occasionally deliver news to Wu Yi.

After she got the news, she relayed it to Qi Wan, "Miss, the Third Prince is being plotted against by many people. He has been poisoned and it will be difficult for him to stand up. He will be a eunuch in the future."

Qi Wan smiled happily, very satisfied with the suffering the Third Prince was going through now, "Let him suffer as much as possible, and then die with the crime of treason!"

This is Qi Wan's plan for revenge against the third prince after his rebirth.

Now, her enemies were dying one by one, and the third prince was still alive, and he was almost dead.

She was very confident that Brother Qin had obtained evidence that the Third Prince was colluding with foreign enemies.

Qi Wan waited quietly and did not sneak into the Third Prince's mansion to inquire about the news.

The third prince learned that his military advisor Ren Zhang was arrested by the government office.

He slapped the bed and yelled, "Someone, hurry to the government office and rescue Ren Zhang. He went to Nanshan to find medicine for me. How could they have taken him away? These good-for-nothings in the government office are just assholes."

"Yes, Your Highness." A guard responded.

Soon, the guard came running back and reported in a panic, "It's bad, Your Highness."

"You are the bad one." The third prince was furious and pointed at the guard and cursed.

"Yes, yes!" The guard saluted and waited for the Third Prince to finish scolding before continuing to speak.

"Ren Zhang went to the villa at the foot of Nanshan Mountain to meet Lan Jian's wife. He was reported and arrested. A dragon pendant of the emperor was found on him."

The Third Prince stared in shock for a while, then suddenly remembered: "Did Ren Zhang steal the things I lost from my secret room?"

"Otherwise, why would he have a dragon pendant on him?"

Even though the Third Prince guessed that it was Ren Zhang who stole it, he did not dare to ask.

He asked depressedly, "Who reported Ren Zhang?"

"The government didn't say who it was."

"It must have been done by that bastard Crown Prince." The third prince cursed with gritted teeth.

He was very worried that Ren Zhang would not be able to withstand the interrogation and would give him up.

"You find a way to get to the jail and make Ren Zhang shut up."

"As ordered, Your Highness."

Soon, another piece of news came: "The emperor did not try Ren Zhang, but directly skinned him and pulled out his tendons, saying that he was so bold and presumptuous that he bit the prince."

The third prince finally felt relieved.

He later became unhappy again, "The military advisor has been killed, who will help me in the future?"

The guard was afraid that the Third Prince would be angry, so he advised: "Your Highness, once your leg is healed, there are many things you can do."

"Yes, my leg needs to get better as soon as possible." The third prince nodded.

He arranged anxiously, "You have to keep an eye on the Qi Mansion. If anyone comes to propose marriage, you should cripple that person."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Third Prince waved his hand, "Go out and find some good medicine for me."

"As ordered, Your Highness."
