Chapter 131: Ironclad Evidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Xiuran said furiously, āJian Si, Iāve never met anyone more vicious and shameless than you! Youāre the one who colluded with Prince Rui to murder the members of the Jian family! You..
Jian Si remained calm and asked, āYoung Marquis Luo, do you have any evidence? Donāt slander others without evidenceā¦
āOh, so the evidence that Prince Rui mentioned is you, right? Youāre going to serve as a witness?ā Luo Xiuran asked. Then, he said to Feng Yijin anxiously, āYour Majesty, the Second Miss of Jian family was also present yesterday. She can also serve as a witness!ā
Jian Si sneered. āYoung Marquis Luo, who doesnāt know that you had entanglements with my sister when we were engaged? Because of that matter, my fatherās health was greatly affected. Not only that, Second Sister is now the County Princessā maidservant. Neither her words nor your words can be trusted.ā
āEnough!ā Feng Yijin interjected, slamming his hand on his desk angrily. He did not give Luo Xiuran a chance to speak as he glared at Feng Weiāan and said, āThat place is under your control, but so many bandits were there, resulting in Marquis Jian Zhongās death. Not only that, Princess Consort Rui and the child in her womb are also lost! How are you going to explain yourself?ā
Feng Yijin directly vented his anger on Feng Weiāan.
Feng Weiāan frowned. He quickly walked to the center of the hall, kneeled down, and apologized. āImperial Father, I was incompetent, and Iām guilty. I hope Imperial Father will punish me.ā
At the same time, Feng Weizhou stood at the side and watched everyone coldly.
He could naturally see through the matter between his First Brother and his Third Brother. He was not curious about how his father would deal with them. Instead, he was more curious about whether his Ninth Imperial Uncle and Yu Yunxi really died.
Meanwhile, Feng Weichen, who was standing next to Feng Weizhou, clenched his hands under his sleeves, feeling uneasy. All along, he had relied on his Ninth Imperial Uncleās support to fight against his First Imperial Brother and the Crown Prince. If something happened to his Ninth Imperial Uncle, it would be tantamount to cutting off his path to the throne.
Feng Yijin continued to berate angrily, āYouāll definitely be punished, but tell me how youāre going to rectify this matter. If Marquis Jian Zhongās matter were to spread, how would the commoners feel at ease? How could I stabilize the peopleās hearts?ā
Feng Weiāan glanced at Feng Weirui from the corners of his eyes and discovered that the latter did not even bother to hide the gloating and proud expression on his face. He clenched his hands into fists. Although he was angry, he could only endure it.
In order to appease his father, Feng Weiāan could only grit his teeth and continued to lower his head. He said, āIn order to make up for my mistake, Iām willing to hand over the teaā¦ā
Upon hearing these words, Feng Weiruiās eyes flashed with joy for a brief moment.
However, before Feng Weiāan could finish speaking, a cold voice rang from the entrance.
āThis matter is not Prince Anās fault. Why is Prince An apologizing?ā
āThis voiceā¦ā
Feng Weirui and Jian Sit s expressions changed at the same time when they heard this voice. A hint of panic could be seen in their eyes at this moment.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran almost cried when he saw that Feng Yili had returned. He was so exhausted from arguing with this group of people.
Feng Yijin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two people who walked into the hall.
Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi were still dressed in yesterdayās clothes. Their clothes were a little tattered and stained with blood. Their hair was also a little messy.
Nonetheless, Feng Yili did not look like he was in a sorry state. His aura was still as imposing as ever. āGreetings, Imperial Brother.ā āYunxi greets Your Majesty.ā
Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi bowed.
Feng Weirui, who was standing nearby, looked at the two people who were still alive, and he felt his legs grow soft. His earlier calmness had vanished completely at this moment.
Feng Yijin said in an ambiguous tone, āI heard that you fell off a cliff, Ninth Imperial Brother. I even sent the imperial guards to look for you. I didnāt expect you to return safely.ā
Needless to say, Feng Yijin also hoped that Feng Yili died. Unexpectedly, Feng Yiliās life was so tough.
Feng Yili looked up and said hoarsely, āImperial Brother, I was indeed in great danger. However, I persevered thinking about how I have to return to expose some peopleās evil deeds! I hope Imperial Brother wonāt blame my appearance for being inappropriate.ā
āIām already very happy that you returned safely. Why would I care whether your appearance is appropriate or not?ā Feng Yijin said with a fake smile. The hypocritical words came out of his mouth easily.
At this time, Feng Weizhou asked casually, āNinth Imperial Uncle, what evil deeds do you want to expose? Who is the culprit?ā
Feng Weizhou and the other princes naturally knew the truth of the matter long ago. Feng Weizhou only pretended to be confused, wanting to use Feng Yili to deal Feng Weirui a fatal blow. Feng Weiāanās mother did not come from a powerful family so Feng Weiāan could not cause any trouble. However, Feng Weirui was different. If Feng Weirui was eliminated, things would be much easier for him.
Feng Yili glanced at Feng Weizhou coldly. He naturally knew what Feng Weizhou was thinking. However, he was indeed going to deal with Feng Weirui now so he did not care about Feng Weizhou for now.
Feng Weirui Danicked when he saw Feng Yiliās gaze sweeDing Dast him. He quickly stepped forward and said, āImperial Father, donāt believe Ninth
Imperial Uncleās words! Heās also colluding with Yu Yunxi to frame me!ā
Jian Si quickly followed in Feng Weiruiās footsteps and complained first. She kowtowed as she said, āThatās right, Your Majesty! The Prince Regent is determined to help Young Marquis Luo and Yu Yunxi. Iām afraid heās going to frame Prince Rui!ā
Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi only watched as the duo took the initiative to complain.
After a long time, Feng Yili said, āHave Prince Rui and Miss Jian finish acting? If so, Iām going to speak.ā
Feng Yili brought two books before he said, āThis first book is from the Ministry of War. It shows that Prince Rui had transferred people away from the ministry several times. The second book records the people leaving the city. The soldiers guarding the entrance usually record the names of those who enter and leave the city by carriages. Coincidentally, it recorded the names of Prince Ruiās people. The carriages would often leave at night filled with people but return empty.ā
Feng Weirui wanted to explain, but Feng Yili did not give him a chance.
āI found many weapons from the imperial court in the banditās nest, and they matched the weapons that the Ministry of War lost. Among the bandits who died yesterday, many of them were soldiers dressed as bandits. Those peopleās names match those recorded in the book.ā
āLin De, why arenāt you bringing me the books?ā Feng Yijin said angrily, slamming his hand on the desk.
Lin De quickly ran down and took the books before carefully handing them to Feng Yijin.
Soft rustling noises rang in the hall as Feng Yijin flipped through one of the books.
Feng Weirui was frozen at this moment. He knew the books were ironclad evidence..
