"Leng Louzhu has found new evidence to prove that the Prime Minister has collaborated with the enemy and treason. Today, they will put the Prime Minister on trial in the Qiankun Hall." Ye Chi reported the situation in the capital to Shen Yan.

"Where is the prince?" Shen Yan asked.

"The prince went to look for evidence, but he hasn't come back yet." Ye Chi said.

When Shen Yan went to Cangyue, He Mingze spoke. He told the contents of the letter that King Zhennan had received.

However, the letter was hidden by him. To be on the safe side, Xie Huaijing took him to get the letter.

Not long after they left the capital, Leng Yuting found the letters from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Without further delay, I'll go to the palace first." After Shen Yan finished speaking, he got on his horse and rode straight to the palace.

Qiankun Palace.

Emperor Xuande looked at the new evidence in front of him. If he hadn't firmly believed that the Prime Minister was innocent, he would have ordered Prime Minister Ling Chi to be executed.

There was a conflict between Da Qin and Jin in the past few years. Jin conquered Da Qin's city and was later taken back.

The reason why Jin State destroyed the city was because Qin's military defense plan was leaked.

It was the Prime Minister who leaked the military defense map.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has collaborated with the enemy and committed treason. The evidence is conclusive. Please Your Majesty, please execute the Prime Minister." Leng Yuting knelt on his knees and raised his hands to plead for his life.

"Please, Your Majesty, execute the Prime Minister!" Ning Zhengxun knelt down and begged for your life.

"Please, Your Majesty, execute the Prime Minister!" Nan Bancang knelt down and begged for your life.

"Please, Father, execute the Prime Minister!" Xie Chengxuan seconded the proposal.

……

All civil and military officials in the court knelt down and shouted loudly and deafeningly, "Please your Majesty, execute the Prime Minister!"

Under Sun Huanxin's treatment, the Prime Minister was able to speak.

He knelt on the ground and his voice trembled, "Your Majesty, I guarantee this with my life. I have never done anything to disgrace the imperial court or the people of the world."

Even though Sun Huanxin was there, his body was exhausted and might collapse at any time.

He had been hiding his illness from Sun Huanxin, and by the time Sun Huanxin found out, it was already too late.

Princess Youning, when will you return?

I may not be able to wait for that moment!

The Prime Minister thought silently in his heart. He looked at the door of the palace from time to time, expecting Shen Yan to appear.

When he was in jail before, Ye Chi visited him and said that he had written to Shen Yan and that Shen Yan would be back soon.

If Ye Chi hadn't secretly sent someone to protect him, he would have been killed in prison long ago, and then he would have been charged with committing suicide out of fear of crime.

"Since Mr. Sun has pledged his life, why not prove his innocence with his death." Ning Zhengxunji prime minister.

The prime minister looked at Ning Zhengxun, his eyes filled with resentment. He couldn't even breathe and vomited blood.

"Grandfather!" Sun Huanxin quickly supported the prime minister and asked Ning Zhengxun, "I dare to ask the Duke, how can we prove our innocence when everyone is gone?"

Ning Zhengxun snorted coldly, "Miss Sun is a woman who has disturbed the court many times and should be executed according to the law! Please, the emperor, execute Sun Huanxin!"

"Who dares!"

At this time, a cold and majestic voice sounded at the door of the hall.

Everyone looked for the reputation and saw that it was Shen Yan.

It was early morning at this time.

In November, the capital was covered with frost.

But as soon as Shen Yan appeared, it seemed as if spring had arrived and there was hope.

She was dressed in red and wore a red cloak. Her expression was cold and dusty, her face looked a bit tired, but her eyes were sharper than before.

Emperor Xuande's gloomy face instantly cleared up and he smiled.

A somewhat sad smile appeared on the Prime Minister's face, he finally waited.

"Sir!" Sun Huanxin was filled with joy. Seeing Shen Yan, she, who had always been strong, shed tears. She knew that Shen Yan came back to save her grandfather.

Ning Zhengxun took one look at Shen Yan and hid the coldness in his eyes. According to the time calculation, Shen Yan should arrive in at least ten days. How could he arrive early?

Leng Yuting looked at Shen Yan. He seemed to be calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He thought that Shen Yan would wait a few days before arriving. When Shen Yan came back, the prime minister would be dead. By then, no matter what was right or wrong, it would be his mouth that would speak.

But now, Shen Yan personally bumped into him and framed the prime minister. From this moment on, he was completely on the opposite side of Shen Yan.

However, the arrow that has been sent out cannot be taken back! We can only keep moving forward!

"I pay my respects to the Emperor." Shen Yan saluted Emperor Xuande. She was grateful to Emperor Xuande. Under such heavy pressure, Emperor Xuande still tried his best to protect the prime minister.

It proved that her choice was right and her vision was correct. Emperor Xuande was indeed a rare wise king.

Shen Yan was filled with sincere gratitude.

"Thank you for your hard work, You Ning." Emperor Xuande looked relaxed and looked at Shen Yan, "The Duke of Zhenguo said that the Prime Minister collaborated with the enemy and treason, and also said that Miss Sun is your student. You also know about this. What do you think?"

Emperor Xuande seemed to be complaining.

"Absurd!" Shen Yan looked at Ning Zhengxun and scolded sternly, "The thief shouts to catch the thief!"

"Princess Youning, don't slander me!" Ning Zhengxun said angrily.

Shen Yan sneered, "Really? The Zhenguo Public Sky Network is vast and meticulous. You can't escape!"

She turned to look at Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, I have collected evidence that I collaborated with the enemy and treason. The person who leaked the military defense plan was not the prime minister, but the Duke of Zhenguo!"

She presented the evidence prepared by Ye Chi to Emperor Xuande.

"Nonsense! This is a frame-up, a frame-up, a frame-up!" Ning Zhengxun handed over to Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, you cannot believe Princess You Ning's words, she wants to harm me!"

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo is loyal to the country. I think it is impossible for him to collaborate with the enemy and treason." Nan Bancang spoke for Ning Zhengxun.

When Emperor Xuande saw the evidence, he frowned instantly and became furious, "Before, you only found letters from the Jin State in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, there are letters written to the Jin State here, which can be matched with the letters from the Jin State." Come on, come and go, the evidence is as solid as a mountain, Ning Zhengxun, you are so brave!"

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!" Ning Zhengxun shouted.

"This letter to the Kingdom of Jin is your own handwriting. Your handwriting is unique. I remember that I praised you before." Emperor Xuande said in a cold voice, "Chen Fugui, give these letters to Duke Zhenguo so that he can live happily. have a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Chen brought the letter to Ning Zhengxun. Ning Zhengxun's eyes widened when he saw the content of the letter.

This letter was indeed written by him, but it should be in Jin State, how could it be in Shen Yan's hands?

He quickly regained his composure, calmed down, and refused to admit it, "Your Majesty, this was not written by me."

He looked at Shen Yan, "Princess Youning, this is a letter written to the Jin State. Logically speaking, it should be in the Jin State. How could it appear in your hands? What is your relationship with the Jin State?"

He tried to confuse the audience and shift his attention to Shen Yan.

"Why don't you ask yourself, Duke Guo, the letter written by Jin should be in your hands, so how could it appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Shen Yan asked in return.

Since we want to eradicate the aristocratic family, we must first seize their leverage.

Therefore, Shen Yan started investigating Ning Zhengxun very early.

Ning Zhengxun snorted coldly, "Princess Youning, don't think that you are so great now and just fabricate charges against me. Remember, when I led the troops to fight and protect the Qin Dynasty, you were not even born yet!"

Shen Yan looked at Ning Zhengxun with cold eyes, "In the battle of Huaiyu, you became famous in one battle only because you suddenly appeared ten days after you disappeared and annihilated the Jin Dynasty's [-] troops in one fell swoop. From then on, Da Qin had one more commander. People are afraid of the Duke of Zhenguo."

"That's right!" Ning Zhengxun's face was full of pride, "My reputation as the Duke of this town is not in vain. Princess Youning, if you want to frame me, you must first weigh your own weight!"

"You are really willing to trade the lives of one hundred thousand soldiers of the Jin Kingdom for the position of Duke of the Kingdom. Lord, you are really willing to give up. Although they are not your clansmen, they are the same people of the Jin Kingdom as you after all." Shen Yan's voice was slow and cold. Gotta get chills.

"Shen Yan, what do you mean?" Ning Zhengxun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he was cunning and calm.

"Princess Youning, what does it mean to be from the Jin country?" Nan Bancang asked everyone's doubts.

"The real Duke has passed away. The Duke kneeling in front of everyone is fake. He is from Jin!" Shen Yan's voice fell, and there was an uproar in the palace.

All civil and military officials talked about it.

"What? The Duke of Zhen is actually a fake? How is that possible?"

"This is too incredible!"

"The Jin people have been lurking in our Qin Dynasty for so long. What does he want to do?"

"We have been deceived by him for so many years!"

……

Emperor Xuande looked at Shen Yan. He was no less horrified than everyone else. The evidence Shen Yan gave him did not mention this.

A person from an enemy country was lurking in the Qin Dynasty. He was the Duke of the country and leaked many secrets. Just thinking about it made him break into a cold sweat.

He said nothing, waiting quietly for Shen Yan to reveal all the truth.

"Stop talking nonsense! Princess Youning, do you know what you mean? Who in the world knows that the Duke of Guo worked hard for the Qin Dynasty. In the battle of Huaiyu, he almost died. You framed the Duke of Guo in this way. It's really Vicious! The most vicious woman's heart is indeed true!" Nan Bancang's reaction was the most intense. He had always been towards Ning Zhengxun.

"The man who died in the battle of Huaiyu back then was the real Duke, but the one in front of me was a fake." Shen Yan explained.

"How is that possible? The Duke has always looked like this, and his appearance has never changed. Besides, if we can't recognize him, can his family recognize him?" Nan Bancang defended.

Other courtiers also began to waver. Ning Zhengxun's appearance had indeed never changed, and it didn't look like he was being disguised.

"Everyone seems to have forgotten that Fu Yijun's maid looked exactly like her. Ordinary people couldn't tell." Shen Yan reminded.

Everyone suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

"Could it be a witchcraft?" someone asked.

"Evil magic? This is forbidden by our imperial decree. Once discovered, the nine tribes will be punished!" Someone's voice was cold.

"It's hard to say. Who can prove that this is a witchcraft?" Some people still have doubts.

After all, everyone has only heard of evil magic, but has never actually seen it.

"I can prove it." Shen Yan said.

"How do you prove it?" Nan Bancang asked.

"That's enough!" Ning Zhengxun stood up directly without waiting for Emperor Xuande to speak.

He moved back a few steps without leaving a trace, ready to counterattack at any time.

"How can I let you make false accusations? I would rather be upright and upright, but you guys like me are still trying to persecute me?"

He looked at Emperor Xuande and said, "Your Majesty, I am a hero of the Qin Dynasty. In the battle of Huaiyu, if I had not blocked the battle, the Jin cavalry would have trampled the southwest, and the Qin Dynasty would have lost half of its territory, and the country would be ruined!"

"Now that I am old and useless, the Emperor will let them bully me?"

Emperor Xuande's tone was cold, "The Duke of Zhenguo is so strong, how can he be useless? He can send things from his own house to the Prime Minister's house quietly. He is very capable."

Ning Zhengxun's breath was stuck in his throat, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to retort.

Emperor Xuande felt very happy when he saw Ning Zhengxun like this.

He looked at Shen Yan and ordered, "Youning, let everyone see his true face."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Yan raised his hand and reached out to Ning Zhengxun. Ning Zhengxun used his palms to hit Shen Yan.

However, in front of Shen Yan, his strength was too weak.

Shen Yan remained motionless, but Ning Zhengxun seemed to be attracted by some powerful force and could not escape.

He straddled his horse, moved his palms with his hands, and tried his best to resist Shen Yan, but it was still in vain.

He was approaching Shen Yan step by step.

"Let me help you!" Nan Bancang shouted.

Shen Yan freed up a hand and struck Nan Bancang with a palm. Nan Bancang was caught off guard and was slapped hard.

"If you dare to be an accomplice, you will be guilty of the same crime!" Shen Yan shouted sharply.

Ning Zhengxun was already in front of her, and she had a pill in her hand. She put the pill directly into Ning Zhengxun's mouth, forcing him to swallow it.

The pill slid down Ning Zhengxun's throat. He wanted to use his strength to force it out, but under Shen Yan's control, he couldn't do it at all.

At this time, someone shouted, "Changed! His appearance has changed!"

Everyone looked at Ning Zhengxun's face with shock in their eyes.

Shen Yan didn't stop until he completely regained his composure.

"Shen Yan, what did you do to me?" Ning Zhengxun shouted. He touched his face, which was no longer the real face of Ning Zhengxun.

This face that really belonged to him made him so strange and so scared.

He was scratching like crazy.

"Murong Lou, isn't this who you are? Have you been a prince for so long that you have forgotten what you look like?" Shen Yan asked coldly.

When Ning Zhengxun heard the name, he looked at Shen Yan with a strange look on his face.

Not only this face, but also the name he had almost forgotten.

How to truly become another person completely, the first thing is to completely forget your original self.

Ning Zhengxun thought he had done it.

However, humans are flesh and blood, with characteristics and instincts. Unless they lose their memory, they cannot completely forget their past selves.

"You just took some kind of medicine that changed your original appearance. Murong Lou, a Qiang guest from the Jin Kingdom, was once a famous general in the Jin Kingdom."

Shen Yan introduced Ning Zhengxun's identity to everyone.

Ning Zhengxun laughed loudly, "Princess Youning, you can arbitrarily infer my identity based on my face. You said that I changed my appearance by taking medicine, but who knows whether you deliberately caused mischief. Did the medicine just change my true appearance and turn me into the Murong Lou you call me?"

"I have evidence to prove that you are Murong Lou!" At this time, a majestic voice sounded at the door.
