Transmigrating Female Supreme: The Peerless Husband Depends on Me

Chapter 112 The Shangguan brothers were framed

Just as the situation in Yanmen City stabilized, a sudden imperial decree arrived. Xie Yuwei had falsely accused Shangguan Haomu and Shangguan Haochen of harboring troops and plotting rebellion. The empress, convinced by her slander, ordered them escorted back to the capital for trial.

Su Yue was distraught when she heard the news. She held the brothers' hands tightly, her eyes reddening, "This is clearly a false accusation. How can it be so unfair!"

Shangguan Haomu's face was solemn, and he said with a firm gaze, "Yuer, don't worry. I believe that the innocent will be cleared, and we will definitely get justice in the capital."

Shangguan Haochen also comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, we won't let that villain succeed."

On the day of departure, the people of Yanmen City came to see them off, their eyes filled with reluctance and worry: "General Shangguan, you must return safely!"

The two brothers looked at these familiar faces and were deeply moved. Shangguan Haomu said loudly: "Fellow villagers, wait for us to come back!"

Along the way, the escort team kept moving non-stop. The two brothers secretly pondered how to deal with the situation in the capital.

In Yanmen City, Su Yue was not idle either. She collected evidence everywhere, preparing to clear the brothers' grievances.

In the capital, Xie Yuwei was brimming with pride, believing her plot was about to succeed. She sneered to herself, "This time, I'll make sure your Shangguan family never recover."

However, what she didn't know was that the battle between justice and evil had just begun.

Su Yue calmed down and began to plan a countermeasure. She knew that directly confronting the court was like hitting a rock with an egg, and she had to use wisdom to resolve this crisis.

She paced back and forth in the room, her pen scribbling on the paper. First, she had to find the flaws in Xie Yuwei's accusations and disprove her lies at the root. Su Yue sent a trusted confidant to secretly investigate Xie Yuwei's past, trying to find evidence against her.

At night, under the light, Su Yue's face looked slightly tired, but her eyes remained firm. Secondly, she needed to unite with those righteous men in the court and speak up for the Shangguan brothers. But in this court with its complicated hearts and minds, who could she truly trust? Su Yue fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she thought of Minister Li, whom she had once met. He was a man of integrity, and perhaps she could win him over. She decided to take a chance, wrote a letter, and had someone secretly deliver it to Minister Li's residence.

At the same time, Su Yue did not forget to comfort the people of Yanmen City and make them believe in the innocence of the Shangguan brothers.

She stood on the city wall and shouted to the people below: "Fellow villagers, General Shangguan is dedicated to the people and would never have the intention of rebellion. We must believe that they will return safely!"

While Su Yue was making intensive preparations, the Shangguan brothers in the capital were not sitting idly by either.

In the cell, Shangguan Haomu and Shangguan Haochen carefully analyzed the current situation. Shangguan Haomu's eyes were calm: "Xie Yuwei's coming with such force this time, there must be a bigger force behind her."

Shangguan Haochen clenched his fists and said bitterly, "When we get out, we'll make her suffer!"

Meanwhile, Minister Li, upon receiving Su Yue's letter, found herself in a dilemma. She paced back and forth in her study, her brow furrowed. Helping the Shangguan brothers would mean becoming an enemy of Xie Yuwei, but ignoring them would go against her conscience.

After careful consideration, Minister Li decided to investigate the matter secretly and sent her trusted aides to collect evidence.

Finally, Su Yue's confidant discovered the letter that Xie Yuwei had secretly communicated with the enemy country. Su Yue was very excited when she got the letter: "With this, we can definitely expose her conspiracy."

Su Yue quickly passed the evidence to Minister Li. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and anticipation, as if all her hopes were pinned on this crucial piece of evidence.

Minister Li sat in the court, her expression solemn and her steps firm. Before the Empress and the other ministers, she held the evidence aloft with both hands and declared righteously, "Your Majesty, Xie Yuwei's accusations against loyal officials are appalling. Furthermore, I have discovered that she has colluded with an enemy nation and betrayed our secrets. This act of treason is punishable by death!"

Minister Li's voice echoed through the court, sonorous and powerful. She stared directly at the empress with a piercing gaze, showing no fear at all.

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression suddenly changed. She sat up straight from where she had been lazily leaning on the throne, her eyes filled with shock and anger. She slammed the table and shouted, "Is this true? Present the evidence immediately!"

The ministers whispered to each other, faces filled with panic. Some were terrified, others filled with indignation. The entire court was in an uproar. Minister Li stood tall and straight, without the frailty of a woman, displaying a courage and resolve no less than a man.

The empress carefully examined the evidence, her expression growing increasingly gloomy as she shouted, "Immediately take Xie Yuwei to jail and interrogate her strictly!"

Minister Li bowed slightly. "Your Majesty is wise. The Shangguan brothers have devoted themselves to the country, yet they have been falsely accused. I hope Your Majesty will clear their name."

The empress nodded and said, "I will clear their name."

As Xie Yuwei was dragged away, she continued to shout and curse, but to no avail.

The Shangguan brothers were soon released. They were filled with gratitude when they learned that it was the efforts of Li Shangshu and Su Yue that had allowed them to regain their freedom.

Shangguan Haomu said, "This time, it is all thanks to Minister Li's righteous words. We brothers will always remember this favor."

Shangguan Haochen also clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely repay you in the future."

Minister Li smiled and replied, "When a loyal and righteous person is wronged, I will stand up for him. Now that the truth has been revealed, it is a blessing for the court and the people."

When Yanmen City learned that the Shangguan brothers had returned and their injustice had been redressed, the whole city celebrated.

Shangguan Haochen regained his freedom, but he and Su Yue knew that although they had escaped this time, as long as Xie Yuwei was still in the court, similar things could happen again. Xie Yuwei had been in the court for many years and had great influence. In addition, in Mingxi Country, women who committed crimes could receive lighter punishments.

They decided to return to Yanmen City and continue to expand their strength.

After returning to Yanmen City, the Shangguan brothers trained their soldiers more diligently and actively contacted the generals of the surrounding cities, hoping to get more support.

However, their actions aroused Xie Yuwei's vigilance, and Xie Yuwei once again mobilized her forces to sow discord in the court, trying to persuade the emperor to send troops to attack the Shangguan brothers.

The emperor was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, she was unwilling to easily mobilize troops against meritorious officials; on the other hand, she was worried that the Shangguan brothers would really become powerful.

While the court was arguing over this, the enemy on the border suddenly launched another large-scale attack. The war spread rapidly and the people were displaced.

Shangguan Haochen led his soldiers to the front without hesitation, fighting bravely against the enemy. They protected the country and the people with their blood and lives.

The cruelty of the war made the empress see the loyalty and bravery of the Shangguan brothers, and also made more people begin to reflect on whether the system of women being superior to men is really reasonable.
