Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Give this to Your Majesty, do you think it will be useful?"

Jiang Lianzhu looked at the confession in her hand and seemed a little uneasy. After all, this involved collaboration with the enemy, and collaboration with the enemy and treason was not a trivial matter!

The emperor originally had a natural hatred for the people from the Western Regions. If at this time, it is discovered that the nobles of the royal family are colluding with others, if this kind of thing is not investigated clearly, there will be endless consequences!

When Liao Yunchuan heard this, he nodded with a smile, and said as if he was making a promise to Jiang Lianzhu, "You can rest assured that your Majesty just wants to find someone to investigate the matter strictly, so as to scare the monkeys and ensure that other princes and nobles will not do anything in the future." Don’t you dare to make trouble about this matter again!”

"Of course, we can let them stop thinking about it, so as to prevent someone from colluding with foreigners in the future, so we asked the Prime Minister to investigate thoroughly. Maybe His Majesty believed in Prince Xue from the beginning!"

These words of Liao Yunchuan seemed to reassure Jiang Lianzhu. Jiang Lianzhu nodded, said nothing more, then turned around and walked out, and the two of them arrived outside the palace gate together!Liao Yunchuan naturally took the evidence and went to the interview!

"Your Majesty!" From a distance, he saw the Prime Minister kneeling on the ground. However, after seeing Liao Yunchuan, the Prime Minister didn't say much and seemed to have ended the topic.

Liao Yunchuan knew that the Prime Minister must have done nothing good here, but time was urgent now, and Liao Yunchuan had no time to waste with him, so he knelt on the ground and spoke.

"Your Majesty, after many investigations by brothers from the Six Gates, we found this witness and obtained this confession. We can be sure that this matter may have something to do with the Prime Minister!" After that, he handed over the testimony.

"Prime Minister...!" The emperor frowned, and Long Yan was furious. He slapped the table with a loud bang, and the testimony was also slapped to the ground!

The Prime Minister's forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were somewhat anxious. He defended loudly, "Your Majesty, where did all this testimony come from? I am loyal to Your Majesty and have devoted myself to the court. How could I have any rebellious intentions?" ?”

"Besides, this rebel is obviously Prince Xue. The testimonies and testimonies are all there, and the man was also found on the ship. Can this still be false? Why is it that now that a confession has come out, it has become my fault?"

Seeing the Prime Minister's aggrieved look, Liao Yunchuan stood aside, snorted coldly, and said calmly, "Could it be that the Prime Minister has forgotten that when you interrogated Prince Xue, you did not ask for any evidence, and you will be punished!"

"The poor prince, who has been pampered since childhood, how can he withstand your methods? Now he is in the dungeon, his life and death are unknown, and you also ordered that we cannot go in to watch. You said that if something happened, wouldn't you offend His Majesty? Is there any quarrel with the prince?"

"Your Majesty has always been a country of benevolence and righteousness. Now if word spreads, he will be convicted without any evidence, and he will even beat the royal children like this. Mr. Prime Minister, whose problem do you think this is?"

Liao Yunchuan's accusation was very harsh to the Prime Minister's ears!

There was a cold light in the Prime Minister's eyes, and he glared at Liao Yunchuan fiercely, and said through gritted teeth, "Master Liao, even though you now have testimony proving that Crown Prince Xue is not a rebel, the matter of water transportation can no longer be left to the Crown Prince to make the final decision. !”

"In addition, the situation at that time was special. I was also going out for His Majesty. All the evidence at that time pointed to the Crown Prince. Naturally, I had to produce some results. Could it be that this is still wrong?"

Seeing the two people arguing in front of him, the emperor frowned and said coldly with a bit of annoyance in his heart, "Since it has been proven that the prince is fine, let's let him go!"

"It's just that this testimony involves your housekeeper. As the prime minister, should you capture this housekeeper and explain the cause of the whole thing?" The emperor frowned and stared at the prime minister in front of him, feeling angry. Come somewhere.

There are problems with both of them. How can he not be afraid in his heart when he is in a high position? I am afraid that things are not as simple as imagined, and what will happen next?

"housekeeper?"

The Prime Minister deliberately pretended to be deaf and mute. He knelt on the ground and seemed to react for a long time. Then he suddenly realized and said, "You said that trash, then I remembered it. The previous housekeeper has been dismissed. I heard that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river yesterday. The specific circumstances are unknown. I know, but it must have been done under coercion!"

"Could it be that someone with good intentions knows about this and is trying to frame me? Oh, isn't this the same as the Crown Prince? Crown Prince Xue was framed, and so was I!"

This guy knew how to use metaphors. He spoke immediately and clarified the matter in advance. Now Liao Yunchuan couldn't grasp anything about him.

There is no way to pursue this matter any further.There was no other way, so Liao Yunchuan could only glare at him fiercely, but he didn't let anyone notice.

"If that's the case, then let this matter go for now and don't mention it again in the future!"

"By the way, you must apologize to the prince for your abuse of punishment. Do you understand?"

With His Majesty's words, how dare the Prime Minister disobey?He nodded quickly to show that he understood.The Prime Minister and Liao Yunchuan left the palace together. The two of them said nothing along the way, each thinking about their own concerns.

Back home, Liao Yunchuan made it clear to Jiang Lianzhu.When Jiang Lianzhu heard this, she was not too angry. She just nodded calmly, as if everything was under control.

"You know the Prime Minister is very scheming. I'm afraid he has already considered this matter thoroughly, so even if we get the evidence, it will be of no use!"

"But don't be afraid to walk slowly. You can always find the fatal weakness and give him a fatal blow! However, now the water transport is still in the hands of the prime minister, which is a bit inappropriate!"

Hearing what Jiang Lianzhu said, Liao Yunchuan nodded. After all, he also had the same hesitation. He didn't know how to solve the problem next?

At this moment, Jiang Lianzhu suddenly thought of Concubine Xi.

"By the way, it would be better to go into the palace to discuss the matter with Concubine Xi. On the condition of canal transport, we ask Concubine Xi to help find us and let the Prime Minister hand over the power. In this way, won't everything fall into place?"

When Liao Yunchuan heard this, he became excited and couldn't help but said, "Yes, yes, this is really a good idea. Why didn't I think of it before?"

"This way you can kill two birds with one stone. It can not only stabilize the situation in the court, but also stabilize His Majesty's side and Concubine Xi, and even get rid of the Prime Minister. Very good!"

Liao Yunchuan felt that this matter was feasible. That night, he entered the palace alone and met Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi did not expect that Liao Yunchuan would visit at this moment, and she was confused, so she said, "Why are you here! Is everything in order outside?"
