Song Siyao suddenly revealed the truth, catching everyone present off guard.

After hearing Song Siyao's words, Zhang Huan looked at Shen Jing again.

Shen Jing flew into a rage, "Princess Youfeng, you've gone too far!"

He knelt down on both knees, cupped his hands and said to Emperor Changlong, “Father, I do not know why Princess Youfeng is targeting me. I beg you to do justice for me.”

Emperor Changlong's gaze swept over Shen Jing, making Shen Jing shiver.

"Youfeng, do you have any evidence?" Emperor Changlong asked, choosing to believe Song Siyao.

“I have witnesses,” Song Siyao said.

"Xuan!"

After a short while, four witnesses stood before Emperor Changlong.

"Report everything you know to the Emperor truthfully," Song Siyao instructed.

Witness A said, "I am a beggar in the city. A month ago, I saw Liang Shan leaving the city in a horse-drawn carriage."

Witness B said, "Three days ago, Liang Shan and Zhang Huan met at the gambling den, and I overheard their plan to kidnap Princess Qingyan."

Witness C said, "I am a bandit from Black Eagle Cliff. I saw Liang Shan and Zhang Huan meet at Black Eagle Cliff to make a deal."

Witness Ding said, "I am a peddler in the city. I have been watching Zhang Huan ever since he entered the city. I saw with my own eyes that they kidnapped Princess Qingyan, and I also saw Prince Chen return to his own residence after leaving the Prince Jin's residence, and then immediately leave the city and head straight for Wulipo."

These four witnesses are all from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

The people of Tianji Pavilion are of all kinds, omnipresent, and inseparable.

Song Siyao had just returned to the capital. Before she entered the palace, Cang Yue had already investigated everything and told her everything.

Those present were all shocked, and they all knew in their hearts that what the witness said was true.

Emperor Changlong was surprised by Song Siyao's speed in investigating the case and furious at Shen Jing, the mastermind behind it all.

"Prince Chen, what else do you have to say?" Emperor Changlong asked angrily.

Shen Jing still refused to admit it, "Father, all of this was a carefully orchestrated scheme by Princess Youfeng. She was plotting against me. She's not a god, how could she possibly have foreseen today's events and arranged for these so-called witnesses to keep an eye on things beforehand?"

Emperor Changlong said coldly, "I summoned Youfeng the moment I received the news that Yan Kingdom wanted to send a princess for a marriage alliance. I entrusted her with all matters concerning Yan Kingdom. Sure enough, Youfeng did not disappoint me. She laid a trap that left no place for anyone who tried to disrupt the peace between the two countries to hide!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jing felt as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

It turns out that the person his father trusted most was Song Siyao.

Then what about his own son?

He is not willing!

We must make a final stand!

“Father, these witnesses’ testimonies are only their side of the story and cannot be used as evidence. Princess Youfeng took advantage of your trust in her to pursue her own selfish interests and take revenge on your son.”

"What grudge do you have against Princess Youfeng? Why does she want to take revenge on you?" Emperor Changlong questioned.

Shen Jing was speechless.

Song Siyao said, "Prince Chen, your plan is perfect. You instructed Zhang Huan to kidnap Princess Qingyan, and then you pretended to go hunting to rescue her. What a hero saving the beauty! Moreover, since you and Princess Qingyan are spending time together in private, it's impossible for her to marry anyone else."

"Just in case, after Princess Qingyan is kidnapped, you should have someone spread the word that Princess Qingyan has been kidnapped. Then, when the news of your rescue of Princess Qingyan spreads, she will have no choice but to marry you."

Shen Jing's plans were all exposed by Song Siyao, and he was like a naked clown dancing in front of everyone.

He was furious and asked Song Siyao in a stern voice, "Princess Youfeng, you have quite the sharp tongue. Unfortunately, these are all just your deductions. Your stories can never be used as evidence. You say I spread rumors, what evidence do you have?"

"If Your Highness wants evidence, then so be it!" Song Siyao's voice was cold and sharp.
