The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree

"I see, quickly untie the imperial concubine!"

The emperor suddenly felt like he had grasped a glimmer of hope and quickly ordered the palace servants to rescue Jiang Tan.

He looked at Chu Ninghan again and said bluntly, "Prince Yong, it's obvious that the one who lied is the Crown Prince's Consort! You must have been fooled by her!"

No palace servant present would dare to testify for Jiang Li, unless they wanted to die.

Now they dared to tell the truth. Once this matter was over and King Jiang Liyong left the palace in peace, they would have to face the wrath of the emperor and the imperial concubine.

"Is Jiang Li lying? Do you think so or not?"

"Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine is innocent!"

The palace servants spoke one after another, all pointing their fingers at Jiang Li.

"It was the Princess of Yongning who lied!"

The first palace maid who spoke was also Jiang Tan's personal maid.

She added, "Your Majesty, you know clearly that the queen is kind-hearted and treated her illegitimate sister very well when she was in the boudoir. But the Crown Prince's Consort was jealous that the queen was the legitimate daughter of the Madam, and she always liked to pretend to be weak in front of the Duke, and framed the queen to bully her!"

The maid spoke with such sincerity that it seemed as if the incident had really happened.

Some of the nobles couldn't help but complain when they heard the words "legitimate daughter, legitimate daughter, illegitimate daughter".

"You little concubine's daughter, you have a lot on your mind!"

"Being born a concubine, she has a vicious mind!"

"Poor imperial concubine, she actually treats her as her sister!"

Most of those who spoke were legitimate ladies and young ladies, who always disliked illegitimate sisters and brothers the most.

As soon as they found out that Jiang Li was of inferior background to Jiang Tan, they even looked at Jiang Li with contempt.

"Your Majesty! I...wuwu..."

Jiang Tan was finally rescued. She covered her face and stumbled to run to the emperor, but when she turned around, she saw Jiang Li standing next to Chu Ninghan.

She stopped and stared at Jiang Li with tears rolling down her face.

"Sister, how have I ever let you down? Why do you treat me like this?"

Jiang Tan was the flower goddess last year. Although her appearance was not as good as Jiang Li, she could still be considered a beauty.

Now he was slapped, his face was red and swollen, and tears were hanging on his face.

Especially when pretending to be innocent and pitiful, there is really a sense of beauty of sadomasochism.

"Could it be that my sister..."

Jiang Tan suddenly covered his mouth, looked away, and turned to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is all a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Prince Yong."

"My dear, you have been wronged."

The emperor personally stepped down from the throne and held Jiang Tan in his arms.

He turned and stared at Chu Ninghan and Jiang Li, and said in a serious tone: "Just tell me what happened, and I will make the decision for you!"

Jiang Tan glanced at Chu Ninghan in a dramatic manner, then glanced at Jiang Li.

Pretending to be timid, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense. The Crown Prince's wife and Prince Yong are innocent and have no private feelings..."

What does it mean to try to cover up one's own guilt?

Jiang Tan looked like he was just about to point at Jiang Li and Chu Ninghan's noses and say that there was something ambiguous between them!

You know what, this is actually possible.

After all, Chu Ninghan is notoriously cold and ruthless, and has never cared about the life or death of others.

When washing the Five Poisons today, it was Jiang Li who reminded Chu Ninghan, and Chu Ninghan has been protecting Jiang Li the whole time.

Now he is intervening between Jiang Li and Jiang Tan, and is clearly favoring Jiang Li.

There is no secret between them, no one would believe it!

The palace maid behind Jiang Li seemed to finally understand what was going on.

Suddenly she stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I can testify that today the Crown Prince's Consort and Prince Yong met privately in the room, and I saw with my own eyes that the two of them were having an affair..."

Jiang Tan asked her to trick Jiang Li into going to that room and knock Jiang Li unconscious.

But she fainted instead, and now saw that the imperial concubine was going to settle accounts with Jiang Li.

If she doesn't speak up, the imperial concubine will not let her off for failing to do her job well!

"Jiang Li! My Yongning Marquisate has treated you well, but you actually——"

Xie Jun's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately raised his head and glared at Jiang Li.

"shameless!"

These four words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, and they were acted out angrily as if they were real.

"Xie Jun, don't talk nonsense about things that haven't been proven yet. This will tarnish the reputation of Prince Yong."

The emperor scolded, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Xie Jun's words were simply brilliant. He was willing to defile himself and wear a cuckold to frame Prince Yong.

If he is good at reading the hint, then his merits can be used to atone for his sins, and he will no longer be held accountable for defiling the harem.

"Your Majesty! Although this is a family scandal, Jiang Li actually dared to do this in the palace..."

Xie Jun seemed unable to continue. His face turned red and he glared at Chu Ninghan fiercely.

"Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"

"Humph!"

The emperor felt so relaxed that he felt as if he was floating.

He even smiled and said to Chu Ninghan: "Prince Yong must be unaware and has been deceived."

Although Chu Ninghan was still powerful, he couldn't take his life this time.

But this incident could ruin Chu Ninghan's reputation. Ruining a person's reputation is like a drop of water wearing away a stone. Chu Ninghan's previous reputation was only for being cruel.

After today, Chu Ninghan will never be able to get rid of the reputation of coveting other people's wives and defiling the imperial palace.

"Come here, drag Jiang Li out first and punish him with fifty strokes of the cane!"

Jiang Li had ruined his plans twice in a row, and this time, he had to pay him back with interest.

"Your Majesty, there are a few things I don't understand."

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing as he watched the drama unfolding before his eyes.

The emperor felt vaguely that these words were familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had heard them.

However, he would not give Jiang Li a chance to speak.

"The witnesses are here, what else do you have to say? Drag her out immediately!"

"Your Majesty is a wise emperor. It would be biased to just listen to what the imperial concubine said."

Chu Ninghan, who had been silent all this time, spoke calmly.

"Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened."

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed a little strange."

The troublemaker among the officials, the official from the Censorate, also stood up and said seriously: "Don't make a direct judgment!"

"presumptuous!"

The emperor was suddenly choked. He didn't expect that he would be at the final step.

These censors are like stones in a toilet, smelly and hard, and they have absolutely no sense at all!

Especially Chu Ninghan, he didn't intend to target Chu Ninghan this time, but Chu Ninghan actually showed up on his own initiative!

"Your Majesty, if you only listen to one side, you will be a foolish ruler."

The censor stiffened his neck and said, "Your Majesty is wise, please allow the Crown Princess to make her case before making any further decisions."

The emperor was put on the stage and had no choice. If he didn't allow Jiang Li to defend himself, he would be a tyrant!

He said angrily: "Jiang Li, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, this palace maid said that she saw me and His Royal Highness Prince Yong with her own eyes. It's unclear, but she was knocked unconscious by the incense when she entered the room."

Jiang Li took out a piece of incense and said, "This is the incense that I lit in the room earlier. You will faint if you smell it."

"Humph!"

Xie Jun couldn't help but feel full of gloating, "Jiang Li, doesn't this just prove that there is a secret affair between you two, so you deliberately knocked the palace maid unconscious!"
