Dressed as the villain's stepmother

After walking out of the hospital, Jiang Lianzhu thought of Liao Xiaole's depressed face. She first bought a few kilograms of pastries, and then returned to Lihuawan with her things.

When I returned to Lihuawan, I saw the children and a guard gathered around the thick tree in the front yard. There were a few hemp ropes scattered on the snow. The guard was squatting on the ground with his back to Jiang Lianzhu, and he didn't know what was in his hand. What are you busy with?

"What are you doing?" Jiang Lianzhu approached carrying something and stood aside curiously watching the movements of the guard's hands.

I saw him threading the hemp rope through the last perforated hole. The square wooden board in his hand was strong and flat. It was obviously specially treated and the board surface was smooth.

"Mom, we are giving my sister a spring break." Liao Xiaoan said with a smile.

"Hmph, it's so cold, you want to freeze me to death." Liao Xiaole snorted angrily, but his big black grape-like eyes stared intently at the autumn stem.

"Didn't you envy Wang Xiaohua's Qiu Gan in the village before?" Seeing her duplicity, Liao Xiaoan curled his lips.

Forget it, she is still his sister no matter what, and she should be doted on by her own sister.

When Wang Xiaohua showed off to her that her parents had tied up autumn leaves in the yard for her to play with, some people almost cried.

Liao Xiaole also didn't expect that what he didn't say would be kept in the mind of Liao Xiaoan, who was always rough and nervous. He was moved in his heart and felt a little embarrassed, with an unnatural look on his face: "Who, who is envious."

Jiang Lianzhu stood nearby and smiled, seeing that Liao Xiaole's condition was obviously much better. After the guards put Qiu Qian in bed, she played with them for a while.

After all, the weather was too cold, and Liao Xiaole was quickly blown by the cold wind and his face turned red.When he jumped off the Qiu Gan, his eyes were still full of excitement and joy, but his body was trembling.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the house to eat. Don't get sick soon." Jiang Lianzhu felt the cold wind rushing into her neck. It was almost time, so she hurriedly rushed them into the house.

After finishing lunch with the children and letting them go back to rest, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't calm down.

After thinking about it, she put on her cotton-padded jacket and went out.

Passing the public notice board on the road, there were suddenly many pedestrians on the street that usually had almost no people. Three or five people gathered around the public notice board and talked about it.

"How could Prince Xiang conspire to rebel? Prince Xiang's palace allocates money to provide disaster relief every year, and the princess is the most kind-hearted."

"What do you know? Does this conflict with rebellion?"

When Jiang Lianzhu approached, she saw that there was only one announcement posted by the palace on the huge notice list, which stood out on an empty stone wall.

She read it briefly, and found that the above content was nothing more than conclusive evidence of rebellion in Prince Xiang's Mansion. The eldest prince would be responsible for hearing the case, and he would wait until all relevant persons were found out.

Apparently Liao Yunchuan had made little progress in the palace these past two days. Jiang Lianzhu's eyelids twitched when she saw it, she took a deep breath and walked away.

At the sixth door, when the guard saw Jiang Lianzhu, he informed her that Liao Yunchuan was back.

Jiang Lianzhu nodded and walked straight towards his study, and happened to meet Yang Fei who came out.

"Madam, the boss is in the study." Yang Fei knew that Jiang Lianzhu came to see Liao Yunchuan, so he said something to her and then went down to do something.

"You came too soon." Liao Yunchuan had just returned not long ago, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his brows.

Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu poured him a glass of water, sat down at the table, and watched him drink the water in one gulp: "Have you had lunch?"

"The emperor asked me to have lunch before leaving the palace." Liao Yunchuan rubbed his eyebrows, his black eyes were slightly bloodshot, and his clothes were slightly messy, probably because he had not slept all night.

"The Crown Prince arrived at the ferry early yesterday. I heard that he was taken away by officers and soldiers as soon as he arrived. He also found materials for making crossbows from the boat." Jiang Lianzhu took the cloth bag out of her sleeve and opened it for Liao Yunchuan to see, "This is what happened yesterday Lin Zhiwei happened to be at the scene and picked it up randomly."

Liao Yunchuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she could still get clues. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the wrapped things, and recognized them immediately.

"The style and material of this pattern are very similar to a crossbow in the prime minister's arsenal."

With his long and slender hands, he picked up the thing and examined it carefully: "This is the same material, it is indeed the thing in the ship."

"This matter was exactly the work of the Prime Minister. This morning, the Prime Minister suddenly went to court. He also brought the raw materials for the crossbow found in the ship, and took the Crown Prince into custody. He immediately identified the rebellion in Prince Xiang's Mansion."

As he spoke, he licked his dry lips and reached for a glass of water to moisten his throat.

In this case, the officers and soldiers searching the ferry were obviously the work of the Prime Minister.

"What is the emperor's attitude now?" Jiang Lianzhu frowned, "Prince Xiang has never been ambitious. He is just an idle prince. The emperor should not know this."

"The emperor naturally knows, but King Zhenbei has personally seen the batch of found crossbow materials, and he is sure that they are consistent with the materials of the crossbows in the armory. King Zhenbei has a good relationship with King Xiang, and even he said so, whether the emperor believes it or not , but the evidence has been put on the surface, and the person can only be locked up in accordance with the regulations." He rubbed the porcelain cup in his hand, his voice hoarse, "But the emperor still retains a wait-and-see attitude on this, obviously he is not completely convinced. Prince Xiang's Mansion rebelled, so he privately called King Zhenbei and asked him to investigate the matter privately."

Since the emperor has not yet fully concluded that Prince Xiang's Mansion has committed the crime of rebellion, there is still room for twists and turns in this matter.

Jiang Lianzhu felt slightly relieved: "Are the princess and the others okay?"

"The prince and princess are in good spirits. The emperor did not order the torture, but just locked them up. However, the prince must have suffered a lot after he was taken away by the prime minister. When the prime minister had the prince brought here this morning, he was still carrying He has many scars, I'm afraid he must have been tortured."

The prime minister had long been resentful of Prince Xiang's Mansion. Liao Yunchuan thought of Xue Yin's pale face when he was brought up. The white brocade clothes on his body were in tatters, and the blood oozing out had confused the colors.

If he wasn't afraid of being unable to explain himself in front of the emperor, the prime minister would probably have wanted to beat him to death.

"The Prime Minister had a well-planned plan. The day before yesterday, he caught the Emperor's Ni Lin in the court hall and put the hat of the armory on the head of Prince Xiang's Mansion. Today he presented the 'evidence', which confirmed Prince Xiang's Mansion's crime of rebellion. Yesterday was King Xiang's 50th birthday, and the Prime Minister pressed the Emperor to express his position in public. The Emperor, out of respect for his dignity, originally asked me to bring the people from the Six Gates to capture them, but the Prime Minister used my relationship with King Xiang. For good reasons, half of the imperial army and internal prison guards were deployed, and there was also a hint of deliberate revenge on Prince Xiang's Mansion." Liao Yunchuan sighed.
