The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

When yet another group of witnesses stood in the Imperial Study, Liang Shan was dumbfounded.

These witnesses were the very people he had bribed to spread rumors.

Seeing Liang Shan's expression, Shen Jing knew that this wave of witnesses was solid evidence.

Just as he was pondering how to turn things around, Song Siyao's voice rang out.

"Tell me honestly, who instructed you to spread the news that Princess Qingyan had been kidnapped?"

"It's him!"

All the witnesses pointed to Liangshan.

“How did Liangshan instruct you? Tell us one by one. Whoever confesses more will be considered for a lighter punishment.”

As Song Siyao's voice fell, several witnesses rushed to answer.

"Liang Shan said that he would tell everyone about Princess Qingyan's disappearance as quickly as possible."

"Liangshan said they wanted to involve Princess Youfeng and shift all the responsibility onto her."

"Yes, it was the prince who saved people, and it was Princess Youfeng who failed in her duty."

"We haven't even had a chance to use the silver that Liangshan gave us yet, and this is the proof."

"After Liangshan said the matter was settled..."

……

All the testimonies pointed to Liang Shan and Shen Jing.

Liang Shan was completely bewildered. Shen Jing sneered, "Princess Youfeng really went to great lengths to frame me, hiring so many people to put on this show!"

Song Siyao did not answer Shen Jing's question. What she wanted was to present the evidence to Emperor Changlong, leaving Shen Jing nowhere to hide.

“Your Highness, there’s one last thing: the silver notes that Liangshan brought to Black Eagle Cliff.”

She handed the silver note to Emperor Changlong.

The silver note was given to her by Cang Yue at the palace gate just now.

"Your Majesty, the banknotes have serial numbers on them. By tracing these serial numbers, we can find out the origin and destination of these banknotes, and all the evidence will form a closed loop."

Emperor Changlong held the silver note, his gaze so icy it could freeze everything around him.

He stared at Shen Jing and said, "Prince Chen, I'm giving you one last chance. If you confess honestly, I can let bygones be bygones for the sake of peace between our two countries. If you resist stubbornly, I will punish you severely!"

Shen Jing's gaze fell on Liang Shan, so sharp it could have killed him a thousand times over.

Liang Shan lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Shen Jing.

He clearly handed the silver note to Zhang Huan himself, so how did it end up in Song Siyao's hands?

Zhang Huan was equally puzzled. He had clearly locked those silver notes in his cabinet, and only he had the key. How did these silver notes end up in Song Siyao's hands?

But with a little careful thought, the key to understanding it becomes clear.

If Song Siyao could plant her people in Black Eagle Cliff so quietly, taking the silver notes he locked in the cabinet would be an easy task for her as well.

"Liang Shan, did you really do this?" Shen Jing stared at Liang Shan and questioned him, as he began to shirk responsibility.

Liang Shan raised his head and looked at Shen Jing. In the instant their eyes met, he understood that he was to be the scapegoat.

In the blink of an eye, he had already prepared his confession.

Those who serve as lackeys are meant to take the blame for their masters and die for them.

Only when they die can their families have a peaceful end.

"Your Highness, I am sorry. It was indeed my own doing that made this decision. I wanted to secure this marriage for you, so I contacted Zhang Huan without permission and made a deal with him, promising to arrange a job for his son after the deal was done."

"This servant knew you were going hunting at Wulipo today, so I deliberately had them tie up Princess Qingyan there so you could be a hero and rescue her."

"Your Highness, I will take full responsibility for my actions!"

After Liang Shan finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and slammed his head against a pillar. He immediately fell into a pool of blood, his head bleeding profusely.

Song Siyao stepped forward and checked his breath, then reported to Emperor Changlong, "Your Majesty, Liang Shan is dead."

Emperor Changlong glanced at Liangshan, then turned his gaze to Shen Jing.

Shen Jing looked at the dead Liang Shan, his anger undiminished.

He knelt on the ground, "Father, although Liang Shan is dead, it was all because I failed to manage my subordinates properly. I am willing to accept punishment!"
