Liu Ye did not dare to say anything in response to Madam's attitude. How could Madam Ye be so unreliable at such a critical moment?
Now, there was no evidence, but the Madam was still able to relax. Liu Ye herself was worried to death.
If he could, he would have rather captured Shangguan Xiong himself and interrogated him. However, the other party was an official of the imperial government. If the emperor were to find out about his methods, he would definitely not allow it.
"I said, Liu Ye, don't be so worried. I have a plan." When they arrived at the palace, Song Xiangsi started to calm Liu Ye's emotions.
Just now when she was outside, she did discover that someone was following her and the words they said were all true.
The main reason was to let the enemy relax their surveillance. That old thing Shangguan Xiong had not investigated for the past two days, and did not call for him either.
Liu Ye returned helplessly. She had also thought about it before and after. If it wasn't for Tang Yi leaving too coincidentally, she wouldn't have thought of it.
Maybe the other party would use the fifty thousand that Tang Yi had asked his wife for as an example. If that was the case, Liu Ye was not very worried.
Very quickly, a week had passed. During this week, Song Xiangsi had not gone to the Shangguan Residence a single time, nor had she interacted with Shangguan Xiong in any way.
"I gave you two a week's time. Have you two found anything?" On this day, when the case was being handled, the Emperor came to listen in person.
After all, this was related to his good brother, so he naturally wanted to come and take a look. In the past two days, he had clearly thought about it. Meng Ling Xuan definitely wasn't the person who conspired against him.
Throughout all these years, the Prince's estate had always been very quiet. How could they suddenly want to rebel?
"I'm only here to take a look, the main thing is that Sir Shangguan said there's no need to be nervous." The Emperor himself knew that Shangguan Xiong would not be nervous. Every time he looked at him, it was as if he was looking at a featureless junior.
Shangguan Xiong was quite impressive. When he sat on the main seat, he did not care about Song Xiangsi who was at the side. The two of them did not even have any interaction, and neither did they look down on each other.
"Then this humble subject shall begin. Men, bring the criminals up." Shangguan Xiong spoke very loudly, everyone present already knew, it was as if this case no longer needed to be tried.
Although Meng Ling Xuan had been in the prison for a week, his righteousness hadn't changed at all. Furthermore, it seemed to have been cleared quite a bit.
Seeing this, Song Xiangsi did not have to worry that he would not live a good life in prison.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with endless words.
"Meng Ling Xuan, let me ask you this. Have you ordered someone to forge the Imperial Jade Seal for you?" "Speak, are you planning to rebel? Why are you making this Imperial Jade Seal?" Shangguan Xiong's every word was a trap, this Imperial Jade Seal wasn't something Meng Ling Xuan had done. No matter how he replied, he couldn't get it right.
Because of his status, he seemed to be able to find a chair for himself to sit on, with no signs of being guilty at all.
"Sir Shangguan, the Imperial Jade Seal isn't mine, and I don't want to rebel." The words were simple, not a single one of the traps that Shangguan Xiong had set for him went inside.
Song Xiangsi seemed to feel that he did not need to be present at today's trial at all. Meng Ling Xuan's presence would be sufficient.
Thinking about why he went straight to the prison, he must have colluded with the emperor.
"Then, you won't admit it. It seems that I have to give you some evidence." Shangguan Xiong flipped through the record and quickly found the so-called evidence.
He didn't treat this case as a suspicious case at all. It was as if he knew that it was definitely Meng Ling Xuan, so all of his words were directed at him.
Shangguan Yi didn't come today, but Tang Yi did.
Shangguan Yi asked him to help her take a good look at her crown prince brother, and he could also tell her the verdict of the trial when he got back.
At that time, Tang Yi really wanted to immediately say, "I'm afraid that your big brother Crown Prince will not be here anymore. I can only accompany you in the future."
But he didn't say that Tang Yi knew what women thought the most, so he would only melt Shangguan Yi's ice cube little by little to make her interested in him.
"Mm, just ask. Anyway, this has nothing to do with me." If he had known Shangguan Xiong's evidence was so weak, he would not have gone to the prison.
Sure enough, the servant who had previously said that he would help Meng Ling Xuan carve the Imperial Jade Seal immediately changed his confession. He insisted that he had nothing to do with the Imperial Jade Seal and insisted that Meng Ling Xuan had nothing to do with it.
This change left Shangguan Xiong a little dumbfounded. He had bribed the other party, so of course he had to make sure that the other party was obedient.
However, not long ago, he found out that the family of that person was missing from his hands. Thinking of this, it was very possible that it was done by someone else.
"In that case, I still have other evidence. Can the crown prince explain this one by one?" Actually, the biggest suspicion in this case was that the Imperial Jade Seal had appeared in the Royal Mansion. This was an undeniable fact.
The servant's testimony had completely disrupted his plans, and Shangguan Xiong had already made up his mind. In any case, he still had Tang Yi. When the time came, he could just bite the location of the Imperial Jade Seal and persevere on.
Even if he had to wait until the emperor was no longer present and then execute him himself, he would make Meng Fanxuan personally confess his crimes.
"The Imperial Jade Seal is not mine, nor am I interested in the throne. You should know that I became brothers with the Emperor, right? " He didn't want to waste time on this matter. After all, it had been a long time since he had seen his wife, and they had many things to tell each other.
Song Xiangsi stood at the side, also counting the tea leaves in her cup out of boredom.
"Your Majesty, this …" Shangguan Xiong was angered by Meng Liuxuan's words, so he could only turn to the Emperor. From what he knew, how could he say these words out loud?
He had thought that the emperor would at least help him speak a few words, but he hadn't expected that the outcome of his visit would be the same as the emperor's nod. "The crown prince is right, we are brothers."
Because of this, when Meng Liangxuan insisted on going to the prison, the Emperor's first reaction was to not let him.
However, in order to find out what was going on behind Shangguan Xiong, they had no choice but to do so.
It was just that after following him for so long, he didn't seem to have discovered anything. To be more accurate, Shangguan Xiong only wanted to frame the current crown prince, he did not have the heart to rebel.
"In that case, do you know this person?" "The crown prince insisted that the Imperial Jade Seal wasn't from your house, but Tang Yi said it was your cousin. He's seen it in his house today."
At this time, Tang Yi appeared. He had already become Shangguan Xiong's man, of course he would speak up for Shangguan.
But at the same time, he was also someone who could clearly see the situation, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Sir Shangguan, I'm sorry!
