The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

There was a sudden silence on the field.

The emperor looked at the man on the ground and saw that he was upright and proud, but there was no fear in his eyes.

He raised an eyebrow.

Lu Yunting sneered.

"How does Lord Fang know me?"

"I...this official..."

"Oh, I remember that Lord Fang and I used to study in the same academy. At that time, we were good friends who called each other brothers."

Everyone was shocked. Is there such a relationship?

When the Dali Temple's Chief Justice heard that it was Lu Yunting, his eyes almost popped out.

He rubbed his eyes, rubbed them again, and opened them again, only to see a strange face.

"Minister Fang, since you are good friends, do you know nothing about the Lu family's affairs?" Zhou Changmu said with a smile.

"Sir Zhou, I played with many people when I was young. As for Sir Lu, I just talked with him a few times."

Soon, Lord Bai and Eunuch Li walked in from outside the hall.

When Minister Fang looked at the letter in Lord Bai's hand, his heart sank.

It was already past lunch.

All the officials in the court were already starving, but no one dared to mention adjourning the court.

"Mr. Lu, this is the letter from sixteen years ago. I have given you permission to read it today."

"Master Bai, show it directly to Master Lu."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lord Bai walked into the hall, handed the letter in his hand to Lu Yunting, and looked at him specially.

Lu Yunting nodded, took it and opened the yellowed letter.

He frowned and began to read with trembling hands.

moment.

Lu Yunting shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's impossible. My father has never even been to Mobei Country, how could he know Di Xiaotian?"

Mo Qitian's eyes were filled with coldness.

Suddenly, Lu Yunting was startled and shouted, "Your Majesty, this is not my father's name. Your Majesty, this is not my father's name."

He quickly raised his head and looked at the majestic emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, the handwriting here is very similar to that of my father, but if you look closely, the endings of each word are different from the way my father wrote them."

Duke Anguo suddenly raised his head.

what?

How could this happen!

Minister Fang was completely panicked.

"Have you any writings from your father?"

Lu Yunting nervously felt around his body and quickly pulled it out from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, this is the letter my father wrote to me before I left. It was written by my father himself, and I haven't had the chance to read it yet."

Eunuch Li walked down, took it from Lu Yunting, and then placed it on the dragon throne and gave it to the emperor.

The emperor spread out the two letters and began to compare them.

Although the handwriting on one of the pieces is old, the pen and ink used are very good and the words are clearly visible.

Lu Yunting added, "When the flood disaster occurred, Lord Fang visited my house."

"I was anxious to go out with my father, so I asked him to wait at the mansion."

"Your Majesty, this is unjust." Minister Fang prostrated himself on the ground in fear. "Just because I've been to his house doesn't mean I did it."

"I have never done that."

Minister Fang was defeated without any attack!

Lu Yunting sneered, "Master Fang, I only said that you went to my house to look for me, but I didn't say that you did it."

Duke Anguo closed his eyes and cursed in his heart, "Stupid."

"Your Majesty, since this letter was not written by the Lu family, where did the embezzled money go?"

"I remember that when the Lu family got into trouble, we only found letters but no silver." Prime Minister Xu said.

The emperor recalled the extra gold that appeared in the national treasury some days ago.

Looked in the direction of Duke Anguo.

Lu Yunting said, "Sir, it is very easy to check the money. Every household has an account book. As long as each household checks the account book from sixteen years ago, it will be very clear."

"However, before we investigate, I have something to say."

"You say." The emperor began.

Lu Yunting kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please redeem me and let me be innocent!"

"I forgive you for not being guilty!"

"I want to sue Duke Anguo for fraud and Minister Fang for slander."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense.

"Do you know what you are saying?" Duke Anguo was furious and pointed at Lu Yunting and shouted.

"I know." Lu Yunting said calmly.

"Your Majesty, when Minister Fang embezzled the letter, he put it in my father's study. As for why he put it there, Duke Anguo knows it very well."

"You are not Lu Yunting. Your appearance and every move you make are not Lu Yunting. Do you know what crime it is to falsely accuse an important official of the imperial court?" Minister Fang argued.

Lu Yunting knew that they would not give up until they saw his true face.

He slowly raised one hand, placed it behind his ear, and fumbled for a while.

He exerted force with his hands and tore off the skin that was stuck to his face.

As the mask was torn off, a brand new face was revealed to everyone, a face that had been worn down by time but still exuded a handsome look.

The originally calm and introverted temperament was replaced by a sharp and unruly one, like a sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully exposed.

Above the court hall, there was silence.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change, including the emperor, who stared at Lu Yunting intently, trying to see more clues from his face.

"Minister Fang, this is my true appearance." Lu Yunting said lightly, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice.

Minister Fang's face turned extremely pale in an instant. He never expected that Lu Yunting would be so bold as to change his appearance openly in the court.

"I came back from Lingnan and passed through many checkpoints to get here. If I hadn't disguised myself, I would have been killed by someone with ulterior motives on the way."

"You... who are you?" Minister Fang's voice trembled a little, and he seemed to have realized the seriousness of the matter.

"I am Lu Yunting, but not the Lu Yunting you know." Lu Yunting's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "The Lu Yunting of the past is dead!"

The emperor's eyes also became sharp. He looked at Lu Yunting deeply, then turned to look at Minister Fang and Duke Anguo.

"Minister Fang, Duke Anguo, do you have anything else to say?" The emperor's voice was cold and majestic.

"Your Majesty, without evidence, I will never admit it." Duke Anguo snorted coldly.

"Okay." Lu Yunting's eyes sparkled, "Then bring the witness up!"

"witness?"

A commoner next to Lu Yunting, like Lu Yunting, slowly unwrapped his mask.

A man about forty years old appeared in front of everyone.

Duke Anguo's pupils shrank.

"Your Majesty, I was the one who wrote the letter for Duke Anguo sixteen years ago. Duke Anguo gave me fifty taels of silver and asked me to imitate the content of this letter and write an identical one."

He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Eunuch Li hurriedly took it.

"At that time, I didn't want to write it, but my child was seriously ill and urgently needed money for treatment. I had no choice but to imitate it."

"I can't read, but I have a strong ability to imitate since I was a child. Duke Anguo said this is not an important matter, so I agreed."

"Not long after, I received news of the Lu family's exile. I felt uneasy and secretly took the letter to ask my brother. Only then did I know that something serious had happened."

"My child was not rescued in the end. Perhaps it was retribution for me. Now that I can redress the Lu family, I can die with my eyes closed." The man kowtowed heavily on the ground.

Duke Anguo seemed to have all his strength drained out of his body, and he collapsed to the ground.

His eyes were empty and desperate, and the dignity and arrogance he once had were gone at this moment.

His body trembled slightly, unable to withstand the sudden blow.
