It was Chu Nanyue who stood up first and explained: "Your Majesty, it was this person who entered the Bei'an Palace, stole the jade pendant of the King of Bei'an, and then framed the King of Bei'an to find someone to assassinate the princess." ”

When he mentioned this, the emperor's face was a little bad, he looked at Lu Zhuo in front of him, and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Of course it's true." Lu Zhuo spoke easily, as if what he was doing was just a trivial matter.

And in this matter, a minister immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't believe what this person said, the Bei'an Wangfu is heavily guarded, and the Bei'an Wang's martial arts are strong, how did he easily go to the Bei'an Wangfu to steal things?" ”

Hearing that someone was questioning himself, Lu Zhuo took out something directly from his sleeve pocket and asked, "This thing, but it's the adult's wife's thing?" ”

The adult hurriedly stepped forward to look, and found that this was indeed his wife's hairpin, so he asked, "Why do you have the hairpin of the official's wife?" ”

Lu Zhuo threw the hairpin to the adult: "It's not a secret, I don't have any other hobbies for the little ones, but I like to go to the big people's houses to steal things, so the ministers' homes here have basically been stolen by me." ”

After speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Xie Xun, and then provoked Xie Xun: "By the way, I went to Prime Minister Xie's house the night before yesterday." ”

He groped in his sleeve pocket, and finally found what he was looking for, he took it out and threw it to Xie Xun casually, it turned out to be the seal that Xie Xun lost the day before yesterday.

At this time, Xie Xun's face suddenly changed, his prime minister's seal could be stolen, he really lost his face in the court, he pointed to Lu Zhuo and said: "This prime minister must severely punish you as a thief." ”

Lu Zhuo said nonchalantly: "The government has wanted me for five years, if it weren't for Mr. Zhuge this time, you wouldn't be able to catch me." ”

Hearing that Lu Zhuo was so arrogant above the court, it immediately aroused the anger of all the ministers in the court, and as soon as they thought that their homes had been stolen by this person, they hated it so much that they couldn't wait to immediately ask the emperor to sentence Lu Zhuo to divide the corpse of five horses.

Seeing that the courtiers were all filled with righteous indignation, Lu Zhuo said a little proudly: "Now you believe that you are framing the King of Bei'an, right?" ”

"Then how did you frame His Royal Highness the King of Bei'an?" Just when the courtiers were all carried away by anger, it was Zhang Song who was the first to sober up and asked.

Xie Xun touched his chin and thought for a while, and then said: "I like to imitate other people's words since I was a child, so I first went to steal the handwriting of the King of Bei'an, and then imitated a secret letter from the King of Bei'an asking the killer to assassinate the princess and handed it to the assassin, and then handed over the small jade pendant stolen from the Bei'an Palace's palace to the assassin, so after the assassin assassinated the princess, he directly confessed to the king of Bei'an, and then that's it." ”

He even shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, as if he had just done the little things in his life.

"This ......" The court immediately began to talk again, and the Ministry of Rites said: "There is no evidence at all for this person to speak, if it is so easy to frame the prince of the dynasty, then wouldn't everyone go to frame the prince of the dynasty?" ”

And Wang Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Weichen thinks that his words are reasonable, this person can even enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion at will, and it is also possible to enter and exit the Bei'an Palace." ”

Lu Zhuo still refused to believe these people when he saw them, so he sighed, and then said to the emperor: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the small one can copy the handwriting of the king of Bei'an on the spot." ”

Although the emperor was suspicious, he still ordered to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he also wanted to see who this Lu Zhuo was, and he dared to speak wildly above the main hall.

Chu Nanyue prepared Donglin Shuo's handwriting for Lu Zhuo, Lu Zhuo studied Donglin Shuo's handwriting for a long time, and wrote directly when the courtiers were about to start discussing again.

Every time he wrote, the people around him would exclaim, because it was so similar that even the calligraphy master Taifu, if he didn't study it carefully, he wouldn't be able to find the difference between this and Tanglin Shuo's handwriting.

When he finished writing, the little eunuch directly presented the handwriting to the emperor, and the emperor looked at the handwriting for a long time before saying, "This is indeed the handwriting of the king of Bei'an." ”

It seems that the emperor has already believed nine points, so he ordered: "Since the king of Bei'an has determined that he is wronged, the criminal department will release the king of Bei'an as soon as possible." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly responded, but he was afraid in his heart, although the emperor said that as long as Dongling Shuo confessed, he could use any method, but if he really let the emperor know that his son was tortured like this in the Criminal Department, he would definitely be angry.

He hurriedly went to see King Yu secretly, wanting King Yu to think of a way, but seeing that King Yu's face was pale, he didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Tanglin Hong knew in his heart that it was not certain whether he could escape today......

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liufeng said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is only the first witness, and there is a second witness." ”

The emperor finally became curious about Zhuge Liufeng's two witnesses, and said to Zhuge Liufeng: "Oh? And a witness? ”

Then - the people who came in made everyone in the court change their faces.

It turned out to be Xinglan, who had been missing and the emperor had been looking for.

It's just that at this time, Xinglan seems to have changed into a different person, wearing a flamboyant red dress, and her aura has become more imposing from the previous obedient royal princess.

As soon as Xinglan appeared, the ministers in the court talked more fiercely, and everyone didn't believe that Princess Xinglan, who the emperor had been looking for before, was brought to the main hall by Zhuge Liufeng at this time.

There was a lot of discussion among the government and the opposition, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said to Xinglan with some uncertainty: "Princess Xinglan? ”

Xinglan raised his head and looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and said with a smile: "Lord of the Ministry of Rites, don't come to harm." ”

It's just that in Xinglan's eyes, no matter how you look at it, you can't see a smile, these eyes actually make the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who has been in the officialdom all the year round, also a little afraid, and can't help but take two steps back.

Xinglan looked at the appearance of the Ministry of Rites in front of him, and said kindly: "Why is Lord of the Ministry of Rites so afraid? Hongu is not a man-eating monster. ”

After speaking, he seemed to remember something again, covered his lips and laughed, and said, "By the way, I forgot to say it, although I am a princess, I am not the daughter of Concubine Duan." ”

Her words surprised everyone in the court, but she continued to say to the emperor with burning eyes: "I am the daughter of the woman who Your Majesty favored in Jiangnan at the beginning, Your Majesty may have forgotten it." ”

The emperor looked at Xinglan, and his memory suddenly pulled back to the past.

At that time, he had just ascended the throne, went down to the south of the Yangtze River to observe the people's feelings, and saw a woman with a silk yarn by the West Lake, although the woman did not have the appearance of the country and the city, but gave people a quiet and indifferent feeling, he unconsciously pampered the woman, he promised the woman, and until next month, he named her a concubine.

But then he returned to the capital, when the South Vietnam was wantonly attacking, and slowly he forgot about the woman, and later went to Jiangnan to look for it, but he could no longer find the woman.

He felt sorry for this for a while, but he didn't expect that the woman would give birth to a daughter for him.

"Are you...... Lan'er's daughter? The emperor's expression was a little excited, and he looked at Xinglan in front of him.
