C187 Prison

In front of Jin Luan, other than Duan Shuang, all the other officials were gathered for the purpose of Duan Shuang's rebellion.

The Emperor threw all the letters from Zhen'an King's Mansion to Duan Shuang and questioned, "What else do you have to say?"

"Emperor, this is a trap! I, Duan Shuang, am concerned about Great Yan, why would I want to rebel together with Wei Yuan?!" Duan Shuang glanced at those letters and immediately defended himself.

"The evidence is conclusive, you actually dare to quibble?" The Emperor was furious. "The higher-ups clearly and clearly wrote it down, including the matter of buying war horses from Jiaomeng. This is a conspiracy between you and Wei Yuan! How do you explain that warhorse? Also, I asked you to investigate. Do you have any results?"

Duan Shuang was speechless.

After a moment of silence, Duan Shuang continued, "Regarding the matter of the Emperor handing over the warhorse, this official only did not perform his duty and did not plot against Great Yan together with Wei Yuan. The words on these letters were forged!"

"With your ability to handle matters? After so many days, will you not be able to find any clues? " The Emperor sneers. "Sima Ling, tell me the result of your secret investigation."

"Yes!" Sima Ling smiled with a face full of pride.

Duan Shuang immediately stared at Sima Ling.

"This official found out that after the warhorse entered the country, the station where it was temporarily resting was poisoned. This official had already found the person who poisoned it. This person had already committed a crime. Confirming that the person who poisoned it was Zhen'an King! "Sima Ling then presented his confession.

When these words came out, all the officials present were shocked. Who would have thought that the once loyal and loyal Duan Shuang would actually join forces with Wei Yuan to rebel today! Furthermore, he was the Emperor's younger brother.

" This time you still have something to say! " The Emperor glared at him.

Duan Shuang was upright and unyielding, his face full of righteousness. "If you want to add a crime, why do you have no choice but to say it!"

"What a good Duan Shuang, I have treated you well. I never thought that you would have such evil intentions, and do such a disloyal and unjust thing!"

"Emperor, this matter is full of suspicious points. We cannot so easily convict Zhen'an King of his crime!" Hsiang Xuanfei immediately stood out and defended Duan Shuang.

"Lord Right Prime Minister, the evidence is conclusive. May I know where the suspicious points you speak of are?" Sima Ling was naturally unwilling.

"My dear minister, there is no need to explain further. Here is another item that was found in Zhen'an King's Mansion!"

Everyone's expression changed dramatically when they saw it.

"Isn't this the token of Wei Yuan's Divine Martial Army?" Some of the military officers among them could tell at a glance.

"What else do you have to say about this token?" The Emperor stared at Duan Shuang as if he was looking at an enemy.

"Even a letter can be forged, let alone a token." Duan Shuang mocked.

"Alright, tell Zhen, who can come and go unhindered in your Zhen'an King's Mansion? Put these crimes into the picture without anyone knowing!"

Duan Shuang was speechless once again.

"Someone, suppress Duan Shuang in the Imperial Family Court!"

The Emperor gave the order and Duan Shuang was taken away by the palace guards.

After Duan Shuang was locked up in the Imperial Clan Court, the dispute in the throne room did not stop.

Bai Mansion.

"Where are you going?" Bai Ye stopped Jiegeng the moment she was about to leave the mansion.

"I want to enter the Palace, I want to meet the Emperor." Jiegeng had a stubborn look on her face.

"And then? I just saw the Emperor, what can you do?"

"I naturally have to explain to the Emperor that Brother Qu was wrongly accused! How could he possibly have colluded with Wei Yuan for personal gain and attempted to rebel against the country!" When Jiegeng heard this news, she could no longer maintain her composure.

"So, do you have evidence?" Bai Ye's face was cold, "Otherwise, do you think that you alone can convince the Emperor? Do you think you have the ability to do things that not even the civil and military officials can do? "

Jiegeng's face instantly turned pale.

"Since you and Zhen'an King have already broken off, then you have completely broken off. Don't get yourself into trouble again!" It was rare for Bai Ye to throw a temper at Jiegeng. "Someone, bring the young lady back to the courtyard and watch carefully. Don't let her leave the courtyard by half a step!"

"Big Brother! You can't do that!" Under Jiegeng's cries, Bai Ye only left a cold back view for Jiegeng.

After Jiegeng calmed down in her own yard for a while, she was still anxious and restless.

"Miss, don't turn around. Sit down and have a sip of tea." Shao advised.

Jiegeng hurriedly grabbed Shao, "Shao, do you know if there is any way to leave the residence?"

"Miss, why do you still care about Zhen'an King's matter? He treated you like this back then. So what if he was wrongly accused? This is his retribution!" Shao pouted her mouth and expressed that she did not understand Jiegeng's actions.

"He is not what you think he is!" Jiegeng was already anxious like an ant on a hot pan and did not have the time to explain to Shao. "Conceding with the enemy and betraying the country is a huge crime! Once the crime is done, not to mention Big Brother Qu's name. All of the hundreds of lives in Zhen'an King's Mansion are going to be lost."

Jiegeng looked at the servants guarding outside the courtyard and steeled her heart.

"Qi!" Following Jiegeng's call, Qi immediately appeared in the middle of the courtyard.

"What orders does Miss have!"

"I want to leave the residence. Now, immediately!"

"Miss!" Shao immediately rushed out and blocked Jiegeng's way, "Eldest Young Master gave the order, you cannot..."

Jiegeng realized that she could not care about so much anymore and gave Qi a look. Qi immediately knocked Shao out from behind.

"The people at the courtyard's entrance and the people guarding the back door, you must deal with them quietly. Remember, just make them faint and do not harm their lives!"

"Understood." Qi nodded. In the blink of an eye, she had taken down the servants in front of the courtyard.

Qi signalled to Jiegeng and Jiegeng immediately followed Qi out of the courtyard.

Following the same method, Jiegeng quickly left the residence.

Ministry of Justice Prison.

"I want to see the people of Zhen'an King's Mansion!" Jiegeng was very domineering in front of the prison head.

Jiegeng found that there was no way to get close to the Imperial Clan Court, so she could only start from the prison of the Ministry of Justice and ask the butler about what had happened.

"Princess, the people of Zhen'an King's Mansion are all felons, you can't just casually meet them." The warden immediately stopped Jiegeng.

Jiegeng heard this and immediately took out a gold ingot from her bosom and handed it to the warden.

After the warden accepted the gold ingot, he hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

"Princess, there is not much time left. Please make it short. If the Lord finds out, I won't be able to escape responsibility."

"I understand. Lead the way."

The warden immediately led Jiegeng into the cell.

In the cell, Yang Lanqing heard some movement outside and immediately shouted.

"I was wrongly accused! Let me out! I am not a person of Zhen'an King's Mansion, the one who rebelled has nothing to do with me!"

When the people in the cell heard Yang Lanqing's words, they must look at her with disdain. When she was acting tyrannically in the residence, why didn't she say so?

Yang Lanqing saw that the person who came was Jiegeng and immediately kept quiet, stunned for a long time.

"Princess, this lowly one is waiting for you outside." The warden immediately went outside to wait.

"Elder sister! Elder sister, save me!" Yang Lanqing immediately called Jiegeng for help. "Elder sister, this matter has nothing to do with me. Elder sister must save me!" Yang Lanqing's entire body was lying on the fence and she kept stretching out her hand as much as possible. She hoped to catch Jiegeng.
