I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Lord Zhang, the governor of Kyoto, received a signal from the empress. He was kneeling in the main hall, straightened up slightly, and said with a bow, "Yes! Your Majesty, I received a report from the emperor, claiming that the third princess has been missing in the past two days and has been kidnapped. The evidence points to..." Lord Zhang paused, not daring to continue.

The Queen waved her hand. "That's fine. The matter is still undecided. You can decide."

Lord Zhang, the prefect of Kyoto, glanced sideways at Feng Zhaoyun and said, "All the evidence indicates that the kidnapping of the Third Emperor's daughter was done by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

At this moment, Lord Ma, a member of the Third Princess's entourage, quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, when the Crown Princess was being crowned two days ago, the Third Prince was feared to have been abducted. I suspect this person did this to prevent the Crown Princess from being crowned. I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation! If it was truly the Crown Princess's doing, the Crown Princess of Shang must not be someone who behaves in such a way."

The Emperor also knelt and turned around, looking like a weak father. He said in a pleading tone, "Yun'er, if Yaoxue has ever offended you, please tell me. But please don't hurt her. Could you please give me a favor and let her go... please?"

Feng Zhaoyun finally understood at this time that Feng Yaoxue's whereabouts had been unknown since she was imprisoned in the south by Bai Mohan, and the fake Feng Yaoxue had been in the Third Emperor's Daughter's Mansion, so the truth would come to light.

In addition, since she had a conflict with the emperor last time, the emperor must have thought that the third princess was in his hands, so he used this strategy. He not only covered up the fact that the third princess had sneaked down to the south to hunt her down, but also ruined her reputation as the princess, and even pulled her down from the position of princess.

Feng Zhaoyun curled the corner of his mouth. It was really a good plan.

Seeing Feng Zhaoyun didn't explain, the Queen frowned slightly. Could it really be related to Yun'er? If it was Yun'er who did it, then she would definitely punish her for such an act. Then she said, "Yun'er, what did you do?"

Feng Zhaoyun's expression was calm and composed. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what they are talking about."

At this moment, the Third Princess's followers bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, now that you have witnesses, are you going to deny it?"

Feng Zhaoyun looked at her, "Where is the evidence?"

The Third Princess's followers looked at Lord Liu, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple. Lord Liu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have indeed captured a man who claims to be a secret guard under the command of Her Highness the Crown Princess. When we went to the Third Princess's residence, this secret guard was hiding on the beam of the Third Princess's bedroom. After we captured him and interrogated him, he claimed that he was a secret guard of Her Highness the Crown Princess and that Her Highness the Crown Princess had ordered the abduction of the Third Princess."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face was filled with grief. He knelt and crawled towards Feng Zhaoyun, grabbing one of her feet. "Yun'er, your father apologizes to you on Yaoxue's behalf. Please...let Yaoxue go. This is all your father's fault."

Feng Zhaoyun had not knelt since she entered the main hall. Now her husband was kneeling in front of her, holding her feet and begging, which made Feng Zhaoyun's arrogance and disrespect for elders appear vividly.

Feng Zhaoyun felt extremely disgusted, but she still squatted down and reached out to support her husband. "My husband, please get up first. Don't be like this. I really didn't know about this. It wasn't my fault."

The Emperor's husband seemed not to have heard and suddenly grasped her hand, "Yun'er, are you going to hit me? Please don't do this... Yaoxue is your sister. If you let her go, I will plead with His Majesty. We... will not pursue your guilt."

At this time, Nangong Shang finally couldn't help but chuckle.

The sudden action made the Empress and everyone in the palace look at him. The Empress felt immediately humiliated. She felt that she had made a fool of herself by the people of Yue Country, which was not good. So she said, "Your Highness Nangong, this is a trivial matter for my Shang Country. Why don't I have someone take you downstairs to rest first?"

Nangong Shang smiled evilly, "My Lord Mother, it's alright. I love watching people perform. I'm right here, so please leave me alone."

The Queen was helpless, sighed, and just let him do it. Nangong Shang would marry into the Shang Kingdom in the future, so it was fine.

Feng Zhaoyun broke free from the Emperor's hand, took a step back, and then bowed. "Mother, someone must have fabricated evidence, bribed witnesses, and slandered me. Please investigate."

The Queen saw that she was speaking righteously and didn't seem to be lying. If it wasn't Yun'er who kidnapped her, who else could it be?

At this time, the Third Princess's followers hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Third Princess is a princess, but she is usually humble and has no enemies. I heard that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has disliked the Third Princess for a long time, and now they have caught a witness, the evidence is solid!"

The Queen spoke calmly, "That's right. Since this concerns Her Royal Highness, I will send the secret guards you mentioned into the palace to confront them."

The Dali Temple's Shaoqing accepted the order, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."

In just a quarter of an hour, a secret guard was tied up and walked into the main hall. Although the secret guard was tied up, he was dressed cleanly and there was not a single scar on his body.

Jiuyi took a look at this person and found that he was indeed the princess's secret guard. However, this person had disappeared for several days since he was punished for his wrongdoing last time. How could he be in the hands of the Third Princess and her men?

"Kneel down!" The guard beside him pressed the man to the ground.

Lord Zhang, the governor of Kyoto, stood up and walked towards the secret guard. "Who are you? Tell me your name."

The guard, his hands and feet bound, looked up at Feng Zhaoyun and said, "I am the guard beside Her Highness the Princess."

Lord Zhang, the governor of Kyoto: "Oh? The disappearance of the Third Princess was your fault?"

The secret guard didn't look up, but shook his head. "I'm just following orders. Her Highness the Princess did ask us to kidnap the Third Princess, but I don't know where exactly."

Lord Zhang, the governor of Kyoto, stepped forward. "If what you say is false, do you know what crime you are committing? Falsely accusing the princess is a crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan. I will give you one more chance. Are you sure it was the princess who ordered this?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I am following the orders of Her Highness, the Crown Princess. Everything I say is true."

The governor of Kyoto turned and looked at the empress. The empress frowned and then looked at Feng Zhaoyun, "Yun'er, do you have anything to say?"

Feng Zhaoyun walked forward to the secret guard. Seeing Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess approaching, the secret guard did not dare to look up.

At this time, Jiuyi stepped forward and knelt down. "Your Majesty, this person did serve under my command, but he was not a secret guard. He did something wrong a few days ago and was punished. He disappeared for several days inexplicably. I am afraid his testimony may be false."

Although many princes and princesses of the Shang Kingdom, including the queen, had secret guards, they were never made public. Jiuyi could only say this.

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the kneeling secret guard and said, "You said it was me who gave the order. Then tell me, when and where did I give this order?"

The Emperor's husband and the Third Princess's followers were suddenly stunned, and then quickly looked at the secret guard.

The secret guard couldn't tell the truth. He had already been bribed by the emperor. It was just as Jiuyi said. He had not been with Feng Zhaoyun for some time.

"This... your subordinate..." Seeing this, the secret guard hesitated and was unclear.

Lord Zhang, the governor of Kyoto, quickly reprimanded him, "Didn't you say it was the order from Her Highness the Princess? Then why are you hesitating and unable to give a specific time and place?"

The secret guard lowered his head, not daring to look up. After a moment's thought, he replied, "It should have been three days ago... three days ago in the afternoon. His Highness personally issued the order..."

Feng Zhaoyun glanced at him calmly at this moment, "Since it was three days ago, when and where did I issue the order, and where were you then?"

The secret guard suddenly looked flustered. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, "It should be in the afternoon, at... at the Princess's Mansion..."

At this moment, the Queen curled her lips, and everyone understood that the secret guard was lying, because at that time, Feng Zhaoyun was in the main hall with everyone, and that was the day when the southern bandit suppression army returned to the court.

Lord Zhang, the prefect of Jingdu, stepped forward and snorted coldly, "You bold thief! Her Highness was waiting with me in the main hall at that time. How could you have been waiting for instructions in the Princess's residence? You slander Her Highness like this, and your entire clan should be executed."

The Emperor and the others panicked, and Lord Ma knelt down to explain, "Perhaps this secret guard deliberately wanted to protect his master, so he deliberately misled us by saying the wrong time. But now the Third Princess has indeed disappeared inexplicably, and this is a serious matter! Your Majesty!"

Feng Zhaoyun glanced at Lord Ma, a member of the Third Princess's gang, and said, "The witnesses you mentioned are all false. They have evil intentions and are targeting me. Lord Ma still wants to continue to slander me. So, that's it!"

Feng Zhaoyun walked up to Ma Shangren and looked down at her. "Then Ma Shangren, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Lord Ma's hands were shaking, and sweat was pouring down his forehead. "Your Highness...what bet would you like to make with me?"

Feng Zhaoyun turned and bowed, "Your Majesty, since I entered the capital, none of my men have left the imperial city. If Madam Ma is so sure that I was responsible, I will give her a chance. I will ask the Dali Temple and the governor of Jingdu to search my princess's residence. If the Third Princess is not there!"

Feng Zhaoyun turned slightly to look at Lord Ma and the Emperor. The Emperor looked panicked and his eyes were evasive. "Your son, I want the life of anyone who has participated in slandering me today!"

The Queen naturally noticed the expressions of the Imperial Husband and the other three Imperial daughters' followers. She was very disappointed and glanced at the Imperial Husband. "I, it is approved."

At this moment, Feng Zhaoyun turned to look at the Emperor and the Third Princess's followers, "Excuse me, Father and all the others, since I have recently abducted the Third Princess, where do you think she is? I will cooperate with your search."

Feng Zhaoyun deliberately brought the emperor along, and her intention was obvious. She was reminding everyone that the emperor was also involved in the frame-up.

The imperial husband, Yang, quickly knelt before the empress, "Your Majesty, it's not that I distrust Yun'er, I'm just worried about Yaoxue. All the evidence points to Yun'er. If it wasn't Yun'er who did it, then where is Yaoxue?"

Feng Zhaoyun chuckled, "Father, as her father, you are the one who should know where the Third Princess is."

The Emperor knew she was talking about the assassination in the south, but he feigned an innocent look, acting like a victim. "Yun'er, I know you don't like your third sister. Your power in Shang State has long surpassed your third sister. Lord Ma and the others naturally don't know where your third sister is imprisoned, so they can't say for sure. I beg you to release your third sister."

At this time, Nangong Shang held his chin with his hand, looking at the emperor with interest, "You are so eloquent, you put on a good show. You keep saying that you feel sorry for Yun'er, but the sword goes straight towards her. How much do you want your Yun'er to die?"

At this time, Lord Ma, a member of the Third Princess's group, stood up and pointed at Nangong Shang, "You! How dare you! Although you are the prince of the Yue Kingdom, this is the Shang Kingdom! This is the Shang Kingdom's emperor, and your future father! How dare you frame me like this?"

Feng Zhaoyun spoke up at this time, "Your Majesty! I don't want to argue with these people anymore. I need evidence for everything. Since my father and Master Ma believe that I was the one who kidnapped them, then we should search. As I said before, if nothing is found, accusing the princess of this is a capital crime!"

The Empress did not say anything at this time, and the main hall suddenly became quiet. The Empress glanced at the princes and the others and said, "Master Zhang! I order you and the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple to immediately lead your men to the Crown Princess's residence and search for the Third Princess, Feng Yaoxue. Yun'er, to avoid suspicion, you and your men will wait here."

Everyone obeyed the order, "Yes, Your Majesty! I will go right away."

At this time, the Queen also spoke calmly, "Yun'er, I'm afraid it will take some time. Please sit and wait."

The Queen did not let the Emperor sit down first, so the Emperor knew that the Queen no longer trusted him.

The Queen looked at her husband and finally said, "You sit down too..."

The eunuch beside the emperor hurried forward to support him. He only heard the emperor say weakly, "Thank you... Your Majesty..."

Then the eunuch brought a chair and the emperor sat on it, and the rest of the people knelt and waited.

Feng Zhaoyun and Nangong Shang sat together. The palace maids and eunuchs served tea and snacks. The two of them drank tea and talked happily as if they were at a banquet.

The emperor sat in his seat with an uneasy look on his face. He was not sure where Feng Zhaoyun had imprisoned Yaoxue, but he was certain that it was her doing.

Two hours later, Lord Zhang, the governor of Kyoto, and officials from the Dali Temple hurried to the outside of the main hall.

Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang and the others are waiting outside the palace."

The Queen was a little tired at this time. She waved her hand and said, "Let them in."

Zhou Fuhai accepted the order, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, he shouted, "Call in Lord Zhang, the prefect of Kyoto, and the officials from the Dali Temple who are handling the case into the palace!"

When everyone entered the hall, they could see that several ministers were working very hard, with sweat on their foreheads.

The governor of Kyoto, Lord Zhang, led the others to kneel down, "Your humble servant, pays respect to Your Majesty!"

The Queen said calmly, "What's going on?"

Lord Zhang, the governor of Jingdu, bowed and saluted. "Your Majesty! We have searched the Crown Princess's residence, all the land and shops under her name, and questioned anyone who has left the residence or the Imperial City recently. We have found nothing. It seems that this incident was not the work of Her Highness the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor and the Three Princesses' followers seemed to be deflated and collapsed to the ground.

The Queen nodded.

Feng Zhaoyun brushed off the wrinkles on his clothes, stood up, and said, "Since that's the case, Your Majesty! I beg you to grant the death penalty to all those who took the lead in framing me today!"

Everyone was shocked, and the three princesses' followers were terrified...
