The Minister of Justice looked at Xu Maochun again and asked coldly, "Xu Maochun, do you have anything else to say? If not, your crime will only lead to death!"

Xu Maochun immediately said, "In reply to your Excellency, I have something important to report. I hope my merits can atone for my sins!"

The Minister of Justice raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What's your business? Considering your crimes, ordinary merits won't save you from death. You'd better think it over before you speak."

"I understand!" Xu Maochun said quickly, "I have discovered a hideout where spies from the enemy country are lurking, and they seem to be vaguely involved with the palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically!

The commander of the Black Kirin Guard, who was sitting by and listening, was the first to react. He actually rushed forward and held Xu Maochun down, saying to the others, "This man is a wanted criminal and must be strictly interrogated!"

The three ministers nodded in unison, then announced the end of today's three-court trial and ordered people to clear the area.

Even the eldest princess was asked to leave.

Xie Ying was held in the arms of the eldest princess, and she felt quite unhappy.

I could only leave a seed as a bug, intending to listen to what Xu Maochun would say next.

Of course she guessed that this person would not be willing to die, but she did not expect that this person actually hid such a secret!

Not to mention the enemy country’s spies, they even involved the palace.

This is definitely a big case!

Compared with such a major case, Xu Maochun's collusion with bandits to kill their family was simply insignificant.

I just don’t know what kind of bloody storm will be set off next, and whether my uncle will be implicated.

This kind of case involving the enemy country and the palace can easily lead to random accusations and the unjust deaths of many people!

Also, the poison she gave Xu Maochun seemed to be unable to control him, causing him to reveal his true nature.

Obviously, this person is very strong inside, treacherous, vicious and scheming.

She must be extremely careful!

Xie Ying held her breath and concentrated, trying hard to prick up her ears.

But his eyes were darting around.

She was held in the arms of the eldest princess and could clearly see the people around her who refused to leave.

Their faces were full of gossip and curiosity, and some were already whispering about it. It was obvious that they were a group of onlookers who were eager to watch the fun and stir up trouble.

Xie Ying couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

Soon, however, she saw an unusual carriage.

Although the carriage was not as luxurious as the eldest princess's, it was made in a very simple and elegant style, and the materials used were also excellent. It was obvious that it came from a wealthy family.

Xie Ying immediately became worried: Who was the person sitting in the carriage outside the Ministry of Justice at this time?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a slender jade-like hand lift the car curtain, and then a handsome man walked out of the car.

Xie Ying immediately looked around.

I have never seen this person before, but he has a very good appearance and a pair of peach blossom eyes that can make even a dog look at him with deep affection. I don’t know what he wants to do by suddenly getting off the car at this time.

Soon, she knew the other party's purpose.

Because this person actually walked straight towards them.

Xie Ying immediately became alert: Is this person coming for the eldest princess?

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the eldest princess, and then at Situ Yuan who was standing next to her.

Situ Yuan did not let anyone hold him, but just followed the eldest princess silently.

However, just as the man walked over, she clearly saw that Situ Yuan became as alert as she was.

His eyes were still a little cold.

Xie Ying quickly looked at the man again, only to see that he was only five steps away from her.

Then getting closer and closer.

His face was covered with a smile that made people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. His peach blossom eyes looked at Xie Ying with a smile, and then he bowed to the princess and said, "Chen Shou greets Her Royal Highness. I believe that the one Her Royal Highness is holding is the lucky young lady of the Xie family, right?"

Xie Ying looked at Chen Shou in surprise: [You are actually Chen Shou? The stud's biological father? Xu Maochun's biological uncle, Chen Fang's half-brother? Duke Cheng'en's most outstanding offspring? The man who almost married the eldest princess?]
