"I'm leaving the palace, my lady, why are you so happy?"

"That's natural."

She had spent enough time in this palace in her previous life, okay?

"My wife is happy, and I am happy too."

Uh......

Are you teasing her again?

"Are we really not going to tell Daddy and the others?"

"Did not say!"

The man said firmly, "What if someone 'destroys' our world of two?"

After hearing this, Wu Qingyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth...

The "someone" he mentioned refers to her brother, right?

At this moment, Wu Qingwen in Wu Hou Mansion outside the palace couldn't help but sneeze loudly!!!

He wiped the snot that accidentally came out of his nose speechlessly, cursing, "Who is cursing me behind my back again?"

Wu Qingyue packed up quickly, but on the eve of their departure, she suddenly received "bad news".

Her eldest brother, Wu Qingchen, was rumored to be secretly colluding with the enemy and hoarding food supplies!!!

conspiracy!

This is definitely a conspiracy!!!

The eldest brother is loyal to the country and has been guarding the northernmost city of our country to guard the border. Wu Qingyue would never believe that he would do such a "heinous" thing!

She didn't know who had spread the news, but she was sure that this person must be someone she knew, and the purpose of doing this was to suppress the power of the Wu family.

She was extremely anxious. If her brother was convicted, the entire Wu family would be in great danger.

No, she would never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again!

"Shi Yi, what do you think about this matter?"

She was like a headless fly, completely lost, and could only pin her hopes on the man around her.

The man's face was gloomy, but he still patiently comforted her: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you and your family."

The man's words seemed to have magic power, instantly calming the woman's uneasy heart.

"Big brother would never do such a thing!"

"I know."

"Then what should we do now?"

"The only solution now is to stay in the palace and find out who is behind this."

"Ok!"

The travel plan was shelved.

Xiao Shiyi promised her that he would help Wu Qingchen clear his name, and he immediately began an investigation.

As for Wu Qingyue, she was alone in the room, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt!

The tragedy of her previous life was such a huge shock to her that she really didn't dare to take the risk!

I am afraid that if I take a wrong step, I will lose everything!

No!

She has to go find Ali!

Wu Qingyue hurried to the imperial study to ask to see Xiao Muli. When Xiao Muli saw her coming, his face was calm and no emotion could be seen.

Although she was terrified, she forced herself to calm down. "A-Li, my brother is loyal and devoted. He would never do such a treasonous act."

"Aunt Yue...I believe him. But what I lack now is evidence."

"I know. Shi Yi went to find the evidence."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Muli eagerly: "Ali, can you tell me how this matter got out?"

Xiao Muli gently moved the Buddhist beads in his hand. "The Censorate received an anonymous letter reporting the incident, and then someone in the court used it to cause trouble."

Wu Qingyue's heart moved, and she thought that the anonymous letter must be the beginning of a conspiracy.

"Ali, can I take a look at this letter?"

Xiao Muli hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

He reached out and knocked on the table. "The anonymous report letter is right here. Come and get it yourself."

"it is good!"

Wu Qingyue walked forward quickly. Because she moved so quickly, when she passed by Xiao Muli, a tuft of her long hair even brushed against the tip of Xiao Muli's nose.

A refreshing and fragrant smell hit the man's nose, and he was stunned for a moment.

His heart felt as if it was being gently scratched by a feather, making it restless.

Wu Qingyue did not notice this little episode. She anxiously picked up the anonymous letter from the case, opened it and examined it carefully.

Sure enough, it contained evidence of Wu Qingchen's "collaboration with the enemy and treason."

Wu Qingyue quickly read the letter, frowning...

"A-Li, these so-called evidences are full of loopholes. It's clear that someone is deliberately framing me."

Xiao Muli came back to his senses from the shock he had just felt. "I know, but the situation in the court is complicated. The power of this anonymous letter cannot be underestimated."

She naturally knew that the power of this anonymous letter should not be underestimated, otherwise she would not have rushed to find him.

"Then this is——"

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has arrived."

"Invite him in."

"Yes."

When the man came in and saw his wife there, he asked, "Wife, why are you here too?"

"I was really worried, so I came here."

Xiao Shiyi knew that she cared about this matter very much, so he stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't worry, with my husband here, no one can touch Wu Qingchen."

His words sounded like both a comfort and a threat.

Xiao Muli's fingers moved the Buddhist beads faster.

"So, have you found out anything?" Wu Qingyue asked anxiously and expectantly.

Xiao Shiyi smiled and said, "Of course, don't you know my husband's strength?"

After hearing this, the woman felt relieved.

"Tell me quickly, what have you found out?"

Xiao Shiyi then said, "The paper this anonymous letter was written on was a tribute from the Western Regions, and only a few people could obtain it."

Wu Qingyue's eyes lit up, "Then we just need to check these people and we will definitely be able to find the mastermind behind this!"

"My wife is smart."

Xiao Muli's expression changed. "How can the emperor be so sure that anyone with this kind of paper is the rumormonger?"

Xiao Shiyi crossed his arms, his expression confident. "Of course, I have investigated. Among these few people, except for the palace treasury administrator, no one else has any recent record of missing paper. And that administrator suddenly and inexplicably obtained a large sum of money yesterday."

Wu Qingyue suddenly realized, "In that case, as long as we interrogate the administrator, we will know who ordered him to do this."

Xiao Muli still had doubts, "But if the person behind this has already made preparations, I'm afraid that the administrator is also a discarded pawn, and I'm afraid nothing will be found by then."

Xiao Shiyi gently stroked Wu Qingyue's hair. "Mu Li's words are not without reason, but this is not the only clue I have found. I have sent people to secretly monitor the administrator and discovered that he had multiple secret meetings with someone."

"Who?" Wu Qingyue asked hurriedly.

Xiao Shiyi looked at Xiao Muli and sneered, "Ask him."

Xiao Muli suddenly stopped fiddling with the Buddhist beads——

"What does the emperor's uncle mean by this? Mu Li doesn't understand."

do not know?

Do you really don’t understand or pretend you don’t understand?

"Shi Yi, what do you mean by this?"

Could it be Ali who did it?

No, impossible!

How could Ali frame her brother?

"Because I discovered that the person who was in contact with the administrator was the talented person he had just banned not long ago."
