Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Although Qin Wenli didn't care about this matter.

But after the news leaked out, some court officials still submitted memorials, saying that the King of Chu was training private soldiers and had rebellious intentions.

Now that Jiang Ningwan and King Chu have the most power, they are bound to become the target of public criticism.

In serious cases, the King of Chu was even asked to return to the north.

If Jiang Ningwan goes with them, he will have to hand over his military power.

However, Jiang Ningwan's power in the court has been stabilized, and there are many people who speak for her. In addition, with Qin Wenli's trust, this matter did not cause much trouble.

A few days later, Jiang Ningwan received a wedding invitation.

When I opened it, it turned out to be from Song Jiaoyun.

Song Jiaoyun and the eldest son of the Minister of Justice have decided to get married, and the wedding will be held next month.

It looks a bit hurried.

The wedding invitation specifically invited her and the King of Chu.

After reading it, Qin Shuangchi said calmly, "This king doesn't like to attend such banquets. You can just go."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Okay."

The next day, on the way out of the palace after court, he met Song Mingyu.

Song Mingyu's entire temperament changed, and he seemed much calmer.

"General Jiang." Song Mingyu saluted politely.

"May I have a moment with General Jiang?"

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, "Can't I say it here?"

Song Mingyu quickly explained: "General Jiang, please don't misunderstand me. I have something I want to explain clearly."

Jiang Ningwan nodded and led him into the carriage.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Song Mingyu began to speak: "I caused trouble for General Jiang a few days ago."

"I didn't expect Zhu Yan to be the King of Chu. If I had known he was the King of Chu, I would never have dared to offend him!"

"Also, the rumor that the King of Chu is Zhu Yan wasn't spread by us. Someone in the palace was a bit of a liar and said that Zhu Yan got on the carriage of the King of Chu's palace."

"As the news spread, it was discovered by those with ulterior motives."

"Although General Jiang may not believe this explanation, this is really not what we did."

"Sister has already given up hope and hasn't mentioned Yunshan Yao and Zhu Yan again. The day after you left, she took the initiative to mention that she wanted to look for a suitable young man."

"So the marriage was quickly decided, and my parents were very happy. But my sister felt a little sorry for you, so she sent out the wedding invitations."

Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully, "I'm glad she can come to terms with it."

"I will go to the wedding banquet, but the prince may not go. He never likes these lively occasions."

Song Mingyu was not surprised and said with a relieved smile, "I won't cause any more trouble for General Jiang and the prince in the future."

Seeing that he had let it go, Jiang Ningwan felt relieved.

When Song Jiaoyun got married, Jiang Ningwan also prepared a generous gift.

When I saw Song Jiaoyun again in person, she was wearing a wedding dress, dignified and beautiful, with a smile on her face. She looked very well matched with the son of the Minister of Justice.

She also let go of the past and started a new life.

Everything seems to be going in the right direction.

Jiang Zhouye is about to return from Huainan and said that he has found important clues.

Pei Xunzhi had been thinking about him for several months, and was finally relieved when he heard the news.

But before Jiang Zhouye arrived in Kyoto City, a person who had disappeared for a long time appeared.

Lu Lingsong entered the palace mysteriously with someone.

Jiang Ningwan was summoned to the palace urgently before she knew what was happening.

When Jiang Ningwan arrived at the imperial study, several ministers were already there.

Lu Lingsong was also there, and next to Lu Lingsong...

When Jiang Ningwan saw the other person, her breath stopped.

Qin Beihuang!

How can it be!

Qin Beihuang is already dead, she killed him with her own hands!

She was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she managed to remain calm as she stepped forward and saluted.

Qin Wenli's expression was solemn. "Ningwan, Qin Beihuang accused you of abusing lynching and killing him."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened.

He turned his head and glanced at Qin Beihuang, his eyes as sharp as a knife, trying to find a flaw to prove that this person was not Qin Beihuang.

But the hatred and complex look in Qin Beihuang's eyes made Jiang Ningwan unable to find any flaws.

But she had killed Qin Beihuang with her own hands that day, stabbing him in the vitals, so it was impossible for him to come back to life!

Could it be that Qin Beihuang's body was different from that of an ordinary person, and the stab missed his vital point? Was he rescued by someone?

Without having time to think about it, she said coldly: "That's nonsense. Why would I harm him?"

Lu Lingsong snorted coldly and said sternly, “You go to Liyang to investigate Ru Mengzui, and the mastermind behind Qin Beihuang’s approach to Ru Mengzui, Princess Yan Qinglan of Dahan, also investigate Ru Mengzui!”

"He obtained confidential information before you, and in order to keep the information to yourself and take all the credit, you forged a fake palace and tricked Qin Beihuang, who had been tortured, into revealing the information."

"And in this fake palace, there is also a fake emperor, the King of Chu, Qin Shuangchi!"

"Qin Beihuang saw it with his own eyes. The man wearing the dragon robe was the King of Chu!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the ministers present changed drastically.

Wearing a dragon robe is a capital crime!

Jiang Ningwan was shocked. With so many details, could it really be Qin Beihuang?

She looked at Qin Beihuang and said coldly, "Why? Doesn't he have a mouth? He needs you to explain it for him? You describe it in such detail, as if you experienced it yourself."

"That's a pretty good story. You even believe it yourself, right?"

After saying this, she turned to face the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Lu Lingsong and Qin Beihuang have had a long-standing grudge against me. This is clearly slander! It cannot be trusted!"

"Besides, if I really used lynching and killed Qin Beihuang, how could he appear here alive?"

At this time, Qin Beihuang finally spoke: "Your Majesty, I have evidence!"

Qin Wenli nodded, and the guards outside came in holding a piece of clothing. When everyone saw it, their faces changed.

It’s really a dragon robe!

It is a dragon robe that is not old.

Jiang Ningwan was also shocked that someone actually copied a dragon robe to frame her.

When the fake palace was built, no real dragon robe was used, but only a yellow python robe.

And this newly made one in front of her was obviously intended to be slandered as hers.

Making dragon robes privately, isn't this a sign of rebellion?

Jiang Ningwan picked up the dragon robe and took a look. "Neither the material nor the embroidery thread is from Liyang."

"If what you said happened in Liyang, could a temporary dragon robe be made in just three to five days?"

"Do you still have time to look for such fine fabrics and embroidery threads elsewhere?"

"I see, this is the dragon robe you made yourself. Are you trying to slander me? Making a dragon robe privately is a capital crime!"

The only thing they can hold on to now is the making of dragon robes.

Apart from that, killing Qin Beihuang in order to monopolize the credit for Ru Mengzui is not a big deal.

Because that happened during the reign of the previous emperor. She was fighting for the throne for Qin Wenli and wanted to gain merit and power. Even if it was illegal, the ultimate beneficiary was the current emperor. How could he hold her accountable for what she did back then?

But the nature of dragon robes is very different.

What happened during the previous emperor's time would also be punishable by death if it happened today.

Lu Lingsong smiled coldly, "I knew you wouldn't admit it."

"I have more evidence!"

"I also went to Huainan to investigate Ru Mengzui this time and investigated thoroughly. General Jiang also played a role in spreading the news about Ru Mengzui in Liyang!"

"You and the Dahan people deliberately set up a trap in order to achieve great merit!"

"Not only the dragon robe, but you, Jiang Ningwan, are also implicated in the crime of treason!"
