After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

No one expected that such a big event from the past would be revealed at a birthday banquet that had just begun.

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at Qin Li, who produced all the evidence.

Including the poison in the late emperor's body, Emperor Xiao's personal letter, and the letter embroidered by Aunt Qinfang in the sachet.

One piece of evidence after another was presented, and with every piece of evidence presented, Emperor Xiao's face became more and more ugly.

Although he had expected that Xiao Jinzhi must be well prepared, Emperor Xiao couldn't help but feel a little panicked when he saw the evidence, especially the letter hidden in the sachet that he had never known about from beginning to end.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really of great importance. It's not that the ministers don't want to believe the Emperor, but I still ask for an explanation from the Emperor."

An old minister stood up, raised his hands and spoke to Emperor Xiao.

He went through two dynasties. Although the previous emperor's reign was short, he was politically clear and diligent, and he was diligent and kind. He was a rare good king. If he was really killed by the emperor...then no matter what, the emperor must give an explanation!

Looking at the veterans who stood up, many people had the same idea in their hearts, but they looked at each other and no one immediately stood up to respond.

until……

"I dare you, Your Majesty, please give me an explanation." Liu Changhan's voice sounded, and he stood out from the courtiers, his tone sonorous and powerful.

Hearing Liu Changhan's words, some of the courtiers who followed him suddenly felt confident and stood up one after another.

Listening to the constant questions from the courtiers, Emperor Xiao felt guilty and angry. The wine glass in front of him was slammed to the ground, interrupting everyone's words.

"You are really outrageous. My brother and I have always been close brothers. Now the prince has made you jealous with a few forged evidences, and he dares to question me!"

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. It's just that the evidence presented by His Highness the Crown Prince does not look like a forgery. If the other evidence can be copied, the Emperor's handwriting inside it would be very difficult to forge." Liu Changhan looked up at Emperor Xiao. , "It's not that I misunderstand the emperor easily, but since there are doubts about what happened back then, I hope the emperor can give an explanation. For example, how did Jiang Ji's family die, and the late emperor's illness was really so bad that no medicine can cure it. The situation is still..."

Liu Changhan didn't finish his words, but the meaning behind his words was very obvious.

"Prime Minister Liu, are you asking your father? This is simply treason. You..."

Xiao Rongxuan wanted to reprimand the courtiers for Emperor Xiao, but Liu Changhan did not give him a chance to finish his words.

"The third prince made a big mistake, and now he seems to have no qualifications to criticize Wei Chen here. However, Wei Chen can understand the third prince. After all, for the third prince now, the emperor is the life-saving straw."

"Liu Changhan!" Emperor Xiao was furious, slapped his palm on the seat in front of him, and stood up suddenly.

Damn it, this old guy used to be the most tactful and neutral in everything, but now looking at his posture, it seems that he has completely surrendered to Xiao Jinzhi, and now he must seize the opportunity to express his loyalty eagerly.

No, maybe Liu Changhan even knew what was going to happen at tonight's birthday banquet and had already colluded with Xiao Jinzhi.

Emperor Xiao's anger made many courtiers tremble, and they suppressed the questioning just now.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling extremely nervous.

Although Liu Changhan, who was named by Emperor Xiao, lowered his eyes and looked a little more respectful, he was actually not much panicked.

Since he has said those words just now, he has expressed his attitude in public and has completely chosen his side. When he saw the evidence presented by His Highness the Crown Prince, he knew that he had not made the wrong choice before. Fortunately, he had agreed to join His Highness the Crown Prince's camp before that.

With these evidences, no matter how the emperor tries to quibble, or even what the truth was back then, it is impossible to cleanse the stain on the emperor.

His eyes swept over the courtiers present one by one, and finally landed on Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan. Emperor Xiao already had murderous intent in his heart.

Anyway, he had no intention of letting Xiao Jinzhi go back alive today. He just planned an assassination at the beginning, but now that the situation has become like this, he can no longer mind any rumors.

His eyes hardened, and Emperor Xiao was about to speak, intending to have the Royal Forest Army arrest Xiao Jinzhi for the crime of treason, but Concubine Xue, who had been sitting silently, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, have you really done these things?"

Emperor Xiao suddenly trembled and turned to look at Concubine Xue. In addition to hatred and cruelty, there was finally a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Zhi'er, don't listen to their nonsense. How could I do such a ruthless thing?"

Concubine Xue looked at Emperor Xiao intently, then slowly stood up from her seat and walked towards Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi.

"Zhi'er!" Emperor Xiao subconsciously wanted to call Concubine Xue, but the latter did not stop and walked to Chu Huanyan.

"Can I see the evidence in your hands?"

"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine..." Chu Huanyan frowned and hesitated slightly.

"I just want to know what kind of person my husband is." Concubine Xue said softly.

Emperor Xiao behind him turned pale when he heard this.

He wanted to ask Concubine Xue to come back to him, but he felt that no matter what he said, the other party might not pay attention to him.

At this moment, Emperor Xiao's heart became cold.

It seemed that he and Zhi'er could not be a loving couple after all.

The hands in the wide sleeves of the robe were clenched into fists. Emperor Xiao looked at Concubine Xue's back with disappointment in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Xiao slowly raised his hand. Just as he was about to call out the imperial guards hiding in the dark, Concubine Xue, who had received the autographed letter, suddenly pulled out the hairpin in her hand. Before anyone could reply, Concubine Xue took a deep breath. Suddenly, he pressed Chu Huanyan's throat.

"Yan Yan!" Xiao Jinzhi immediately wanted to save people, but was stopped by Concubine Xue.

"Back off, or I will kill her immediately." The hairpin in Concubine Xue's hand scratched forward, and a bloody mark was drawn on Chu Huanyan's neck.

Xiao Jinzhi's expression suddenly changed. Seeing the blood on Chu Huanyan's neck, she could only step back step by step and distance herself from Concubine Xue.

"What do you want to do, the imperial concubine?" Chu Huanyan felt the stinging pain in her neck, frowned and said, "What happened back then was the emperor's doing, and has nothing to do with the imperial concubine, so why do you need to get involved..."

"Shut up!" Concubine Xue interrupted Chu Huanyan, clenched the evidence in her hand, and glanced at Emperor Xiao from the corner of her eye, "No one can slander the emperor!"

After saying that, Concubine Xue grabbed Chu Huanyan's arm, holding the hairpin in her hand tightly, forcing Chu Huanyan to walk to Emperor Xiao step by step, and then handed the letter in her hand to Emperor Xiao...
