The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

The banquet is suspended at this time.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Rites and others.

The two of them felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them, and beads of cold sweat began to seep out of their foreheads.

Fortunately, the person behind the scenes had never thought that Emperor Jingren would start a thorough investigation of the matter just because of a little dancer, so he didn't have time to deal with any traces!

After a short while, they discovered that the porcelain piece that injured Jiang Ningshuang was actually a teacup that was broken with great force and thrown out!

The Minister of Rites recognized it at a glance, and found out that this piece of porcelain was specially used for today's Spring Banquet!

And...the shape of this teacup varies according to each person's identity!

The teacup fragments he was holding in his hand at this moment were exactly what the princes and princesses used!

At this time, the Minister of Justice had also inspected the scene and was attracted by the strange fragrance coming from the rags, so he immediately invited the imperial physician.

Gu Changqing happened to be there, so he came forward, smelled it, frowned and said:

"This is the Beauty's Tears. A slight touch will cause the wound to fester faster, and eventually ruin the face. That's why it's called the Beauty's Tears. The medicinal materials needed to make the Beauty's Tears are extremely expensive and rare..."

Without asking, one knows what Gu Changqing means is that the person who owns these beauty's tears must be either rich or noble.

In fact, if this matter were handled by any two people, they would probably make a big deal out of a small matter and let it go.

Can……

The identities of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Rites are special!

He is considered the father-in-law of the Eighth and Ninth Princes...

Now that they were sure that this was not the work of the spy, but was most likely a struggle for power among the princes, they all had their own ideas.

As a member of the Eighth Prince's party, the Minister of Rites naturally knew the importance of Jiang Ningshuang.

Now that he has a clue, the Minister of Rites will naturally not let it go.

When the Minister of Justice was investigating, he had already secretly discussed the matter with the Ninth Prince and had confirmed that the matter had nothing to do with the Ninth Prince. Naturally, he would not easily reveal the matter.

It can be said that one of the two people now wants revenge, and the other wants to take advantage of the opportunity to muddy the waters. Their goals are the same, so naturally they join forces...

The Minister of Rites immediately knelt on the ground and reported to Emperor Jingren:

"Your Majesty! After investigation by our officials, it is very likely that someone broke the teacup and used the fragments to tear the dancer's shawl, causing it to fall! However..."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Justice also hesitated and said with some embarrassment:

"This fragment is a teacup specially given to the princes and princesses by the Ministry of Rites! If you want to find the real culprit, just find out whose teacup was destroyed! However, the princes and princesses are of noble status, so we... dare not..."

When Emperor Jingren heard this, his face suddenly turned grim, and he instantly figured out what had happened!

He originally thought it was a spy from the enemy country, but now it seems...

It was simply a trick that some evil son started to play for his throne!

Although Emperor Jingren was over 50 years old, he always felt that he was still young!

He was not unaware of the open and secret struggles among the princes below.

But in the eyes of Emperor Jingren, these were just some minor quarrels which could check and balance each other, so he was happy to see them happen.

But now!

How dare they put this trick on the table!

Is it because she can't wait for him to die so that she can take that position?

Concubine Yan looked at the furious look on Emperor Jingren's face, stood up and patted him on the back to calm him down, while speaking in a gentle voice:

"This is a spring banquet, which concerns the fate of the Yong Dynasty... Your Majesty works hard for the Yong Dynasty every day, but there are people who do not take your Majesty's hard work seriously at all. When I see this, I feel really distressed..."

Anyway, someone is bound to be caught today, and Concubine Yan doesn’t care who it is!

After all, no matter who it is, her Thirteenth Prince will not suffer any loss.

Listening to Concubine Yan's words, Emperor Jingren agreed with them deeply. He slammed the table and said angrily:

"Investigate! Investigate them one by one! I want to see who dares to act so presumptuously under my nose!"

The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Rites responded in unison and ordered their men to go in the direction of the princes one by one.

Shen Qinglan sat in a chair, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, but he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Does the person behind the scenes want to hide in the back and stir up trouble?

Unfortunately, I’m afraid it’s not possible.

First of all, she had already predicted from the beginning that once Jiang Ningshuang got into trouble, Emperor Jingren would definitely order the Minister of Rites who organized the banquet to investigate! Of course, the Minister of Punishment would not be left behind.

The Minister of Rites is the Eighth Prince's man, and although the Minister of Punishments is on the side of the Ninth Prince, under such circumstances, they would never dare to conceal the truth blatantly.

So she had been observing the Ninth Prince and the Minister of Justice. After confirming the look in their eyes, she was completely relieved that the two had nothing to do with the matter.

In this case, no matter which side it is, seeing such a great opportunity, can they not work together to defeat one person?

Now she wanted to see, if everyone attacked together, how could that person remain invisible?

Shen Qinglan thought so and looked at the Fourth Prince with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

When the Fourth Prince raised his eyes and saw Shen Qinglan, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Sure enough, the so-called Buddha may not really be as devoid of worldly thoughts as he appears to be...

Soon, someone shouted, "Here it is! The Fourth Prince's teacup is broken... It matches the fragment of the evidence!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar!

Everyone looked at the Fourth Prince in shock!

It seemed that no one had expected that the owner of the fragment was actually the Fourth Prince?

After all, hasn't the Fourth Prince never participated in the fight for the throne?

Moreover, the Fourth Prince is devoted to Buddhism. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like he would do anything to prevent the Eighth Prince from repairing his relationship with the Emperor...

Emperor Jingren was obviously a little surprised. He looked at the Fourth Prince, narrowed his eyes, and for the first time began to think about this usually insignificant Fourth Prince. He immediately said in a deep voice:

"Old Four! Do you have anything else to say?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince stood up, threw off his robe and knelt on the ground, looking at Emperor Jingren with an innocent look:

"Father, I am innocent."

The Eighth Prince was already furious at this time. He walked out directly, knelt on the ground, and angrily said to the Fourth Prince:

"Fourth brother, the evidence is irrefutable! What else can you be wronged about?"

The Ninth Prince had also put away his gloating expression at this time, and stood up, saying with great sorrow:

"Fourth brother! Why are you doing this? Why would you attack a dancer?"

"Come to think of it, if Fourth Brother could easily attack the dancer in such an important occasion, would it be just as easy to harm others?"

When the Ninth Prince said this, he couldn't help but reveal a look of horror and looked at Emperor Jingren.

Everyone immediately realized that the Ninth Prince's words clearly had a hidden meaning!

If this was really done by the Fourth Prince, it happened in the deep palace, in front of everyone!

The Fourth Prince almost killed the dancer. Doesn't that prove that if he wanted to, he could also attack Emperor Jingren?
