The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Bian Sui was almost devastated. He had merely had some people spread some rumors, and they had exposed them in public...

Xin Rui's face looked even uglier than Bian Sui's. Bian Sui was simply a waste. He couldn't even do such a small task.

The Minister of Rites couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his task was to take the lead in requesting His Majesty to cancel the engagement between Prince Yong and Si Yan, rather than spreading rumors.

The Situ Mansion and Prince Yong's Mansion have not dealt with the rumors, and Ling Mohan exposed them on the spot today. This is clearly a counterattack from Prince Yong's party.

The emperor looked gloomy and glared at Bian Sui: "Lord Bian, what is going on?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't know."

Bian Sui knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said, "It must have been someone in my house who did this behind my back. When I return, I will punish this treacherous servant severely and give His Majesty an explanation."

Even at this point, Bian Sui still wants to make a big deal out of a small matter and shirk responsibility.

Ling Mohan did not give him this opportunity, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, for such a major matter, I believe that without the instructions of Lord Bian, the people of the Bian Mansion would never dare to do it.

"According to what these people said, the Bian Mansion has already paid them a portion of the reward, which is quite a large amount. Without Lord Bian's instructions, the servants of the Bian Mansion would not have been able to come up with such a large reward."

After Ling Mohan finished speaking, the lame man and several prisoners nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, we earned several thousand silvers, but they only gave us a few hundred taels..."

As he spoke, the lame man took out all the silver they had earned. It was a bunch of silver ingots, which was obviously not something an ordinary person could take out.

Bian Sui stared at Ling Mohan, baring his teeth and saying, "General Ling, please stop slandering me."

Ling Mohan remained calm, "Master Bian, if you don't want others to know, then you must not do it yourself. If you confess your guilt earlier, His Majesty might be able to show some leniency. But if you deceive His Majesty and find out about those people in your house, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

The emperor saw that there were witnesses and evidence, but Bian Sui was still making excuses, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Bian Sui! You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, I will execute your entire family."

"Your Majesty! Please spare my life, Your Majesty... This old minister was confused for a moment and did such a foolish thing. Please, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Bian Sui was not as able to withstand pressure as the Minister of Rites Song Yi, and he couldn't hold on for long.

The emperor's face was gloomy and he was about to dismiss Bian Sui from his post when he heard Si Yan's words.

"Master Bian, the King of Yan and I have no grudge against you. Why on earth did you spread rumors about us? Who instructed you to do this?"

Si Yan's words made Bian Sui shudder all over. He glanced in the direction of the prime minister, but still didn't dare to speak.

"Tell me! Who instructed you to do this?" The emperor spoke coldly and angrily.

"Your Majesty, it's...it's...no one." Bian Sui felt a pang of fear when he thought about how Jia Zhongchun was almost assassinated.

He had people spread rumors, and the most His Majesty could do was to remove him from his post. But if he offended Prime Minister Xin, his life would be in danger.

The emperor was furious and said solemnly, "Well, you've all deceived me, haven't you? Come, drag Bian Sui away and beat him to death with sticks, and execute the entire Bian family..."

Bian Sui was so frightened that his whole body went limp. He cried loudly and said, "Your Majesty, I say, I say..."

Bian Sui sniffed and glanced at Xin Rui fearfully: "It was the Prime Minister who told me to do this!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall fell into dead silence, and Xin Rui's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Prime Minister?"

The next moment, the emperor shouted angrily, "Nonsense, it's impossible for him to be the Prime Minister!"

Bian Sui, who was still hesitant, quickly replied upon hearing this: "It was the Prime Minister, Your Majesty. It was the Prime Minister who had the rumors spread about Miss Si and Prince Yan..."

Xin Rui's eyes flashed with ferocity, as if he wanted to eat the Jingzhao prefect. "Master Bian, why are you slandering and accusing me of this?"

Si Yanyun spoke calmly, "Your Majesty, I remember that the Minister of War also said it was the Prime Minister who ordered it last time, and today Lord Bian also said it was the Prime Minister who ordered it. Why do they all like to blame the Prime Minister so much?"

"Miss Si, I, the Prime Minister, hold great power and influence, so naturally there are those who are jealous."

Xin Rui glanced coldly at Si Yan and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Bian Sui is the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, yet he is spreading rumors about Miss Si and Prince Yan everywhere. This behavior is truly despicable. I implore Your Majesty to execute Bian Sui immediately!"

Bian Sui's lips trembled and his whole body shook uncontrollably. This Xin Rui was truly a devil who killed people without blinking an eye!

Si Yan looked at Bian Sui and said, "Master Bian, you said that the Prime Minister ordered you to do this. Do you have any evidence?"

"This this……"

Xin Rui knew that Bian Sui had no evidence, so he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Bian Sui has no evidence and is slandering me. This is truly a heinous crime."

At this moment, Princess Anyun also spoke up: "Yes, Your Majesty, if anyone can make random claims without any evidence, then there really is no law in this world."

The Imperial Noble Consort couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Bian Sui has no evidence, so his words are untrustworthy. Since it has been proven that he spread the rumors, it is better to execute him swiftly."

Bian Sui felt sad. How many conveniences had he provided to the imperial concubine and the prime minister's party?

In the end, they all shouted at His Majesty to execute him?

Si Yan spoke again: "Master Bian, you said that the Prime Minister ordered you to do this. May I ask how the Prime Minister ordered you to do this?"

Bian Sui replied with a pale face, "The Prime Minister sent a masked man in black to give me orders, holding the Prime Minister's token, and asked me to spread rumors..."

Everyone heard that this was an order passed down privately by someone of unknown origin, and Bian Sui had no evidence.

"Master Bian, you are the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. If the Prime Minister wants you to do it, will you do it?"

Prince An Qi Guang'an frowned and asked, "Why do you listen so much to the Prime Minister?"

Bian Sui sneered, "Your Highness, Prince An, who else in the entire court, besides Lord Si and you, dares to disobey the Prime Minister? Lord Jia didn't listen, but he was almost killed in the street by an assassin..."

"Don't even mention me. Even when the Minister of Rites, Lord Song, proposed that Your Majesty cancel the engagement between Prince Yong and Miss Si, he was forced by the Prime Minister..."

Song Yi slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head so that no one could see the expression on his face.

Xin Rui stood up and glared at Bian Sui: "Your Majesty, this Bian Sui is talking nonsense!"

Xin Rui turned and knelt before the emperor. "Your Majesty, if it was really me who forced Bian Sui to do this, he could have exposed it in advance, but he didn't. He waited until his own affairs were exposed before slandering me. His intentions are so sinister that he deserves death."

The emperor looked at Xin Rui with a deep gaze, and wanted to depose Xin Rui from his position as prime minister.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence...

Since Xin Rui controlled the court so much, he had to find a way to get rid of Xin Rui no matter what.

Prince Xin, who had been silent the entire time, couldn't help but speak up when he saw his uncle being dragged into this. "Father, Bian Sui not only spread rumors about Miss Si and Prince Yan, but he also slandered the Prime Minister. His crime is truly unforgivable. I beg you to sentence Bian Sui to death."

The emperor looked at Prince Xin with an unfathomable expression, his heart filled with disappointment.

Prince Xin only had eyes for his uncle, but not for his father, the emperor.
