After traveling through time, I became a thorn in the eyes of the sickly prince

An Muxi glanced at Prime Minister Chu's constipated old face and set his sights on Xia Yuyan. He found her kneeling on the ground trembling like a sieve. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ding'an was killed by Princess Ding'an. It has nothing to do with Prince Duan!" in an affirmative tone.

Upon hearing this, the three old uncles stood up at the same time. The Sixth Uncle said loudly, "Your Majesty, please immediately investigate Princess Ding'an and give justice to Prince Ding'an!"

The Seventh Uncle clasped his fists and saluted, "That's right, people can't die in vain!"

"Yes!" The Ninth Uncle agreed.

Mu Xi gave a big thumbs up to the three old uncles in his heart.

Queen Mother Chu wiped the tears from her face.

"Your Majesty, I heard that this jade comb was given to Xia Yuyan by Prince Duan, and it was discovered by Prince Ding'an, so there was a dispute!" After saying that, he looked towards the door, "Someone, go and call Prince Ding'an's personal guard!"

Xia Yuyan knelt and crawled two steps towards the emperor, trembling.

"Queen Mother, that jade comb was given to my sister by Prince Duan, and my sister gave it to Yuyan!"

Emperor Kangning looked at An Muxi, "Princess Ding'an said the truth!"

Mu Xi was silent for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, he slowly said,

"Your Majesty, the jade comb was indeed given to Muxi by the prince. Later, he met Princess Ding'an at Kongyin Temple and found that they got along well, so he gave it to her again!!!"

Another official of the Chu family said,

"Your Majesty, she is the Princess of Duan, so of course she will be biased towards Prince Duan, so the testimony does not count!"

"That's right. Besides, how can you give a comb given by your husband to someone else?"

An Muxi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Muxi wanted a divorce at that time, so she didn't care about the gift from the prince. You have also seen the divorce petition. Prince Ding'an was too suspicious because of the comb. Just now, during the struggle with Princess Ding'an in the prison cell, half of the comb was stuck in his heart. It has nothing to do with Prince Duan!"

Prince Ding'an's personal guard walked up to the hall, bowed,

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I was in the corridor at the time and did not see with my own eyes who killed Prince Ding'an, but I heard the prince say one sentence before he died - Bitch, I want you to be buried with me!"

Xia Yuyan's whole body was shaking even more violently, her face turned pale, and she finally passed out from excessive nervousness.

Seeing this, Mu Xi was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that Princess Ding'an has been afraid since she entered the room. Why is she afraid? Because she accidentally killed Prince Ding'an and she feels guilty!"

The Sixth Uncle bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I think what Princess Duan said makes sense!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

The other two old uncles echoed in unison.

Emperor Kangning turned his obsidian eyes and looked at the silent Prince Duan, and found that his younger brother was staring at Xia Yuyan on the ground. He had always known that he and this woman had been friends since childhood, but he didn't expect that they were still connected after so many years.

"Come on, go and invite the imperial physician!"

Queen Mother Chu saw that the wind was about to change, so she stood up and pointed at the three old uncles, "Do you still have the laws of Daxia in your eyes? Prince Duan killed dozens of people from my two younger brothers, and he also colluded with the former subordinates of Prince Pingnan to rebel and usurp the throne. Now he has killed my two eunuchs and Prince Ding'an. Aren't these lives enough to convict him?"

The Seventh Prince looked at Queen Dowager Chu with a burning gaze and said, "The identities of the four eunuchs around the Queen Dowager have always been unclear. I wonder if we can re-examine them!" His meaning was very clear: they were four men.

Queen Mother Chu paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

The old doctor hurriedly walked up to the hall with a medicine box on his back, put his finger on Xia Yuyan's pulse, and then knelt on the ground, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Princess Ding'an is pregnant, and it has been more than a month."

"My Qiao Lixuewa," An Muxi cursed angrily. She actually had such a life. That woman could be honored by her son. She looked at Prince Duan beside her, "Your Highness, you said that it was not you who killed the man, but that Xia Yuyan!"

This fake cripple hasn't said a word since he entered the hall. Is this a prelude to dragging himself into hell?

Prince Duan rolled his Adam's apple a few times and said slowly, "My brother was killed by me by accident. Please don't make things difficult for Princess Ding'an and allow me to divorce!!!"

"What?" An Muxi was so angry that a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest. He knelt down and crawled two steps, then grabbed Prince Duan's arm, "What are you doing? You don't want to live, but I do!" He glanced outside the palace and saw the pride in Long Qianxue's eyes.

Prince Duan stared at Mu Xi's pale face, "Xi'er, I have been charged with treason, and I am not even close to killing a few people!" After that, he looked up at Emperor Kangning again, "Royal brother, the An family has been concerned about the country and the people over the years, please set Xi'er free!"

The three old uncles stared at Prince Duan with disappointment, and their beards stood up.

Queen Mother Chu sat on a chair and said, "Come here, lift Princess Ding'an to the bed and take good care of her. After all, she is carrying the prince's bones in her arms. Send two maids to take care of her until she gives birth!!!" No matter whether this woman has anything to do with Prince Duan or not, the child must be saved.

Mu Xi knelt down and crawled two steps towards Emperor Kangning, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the An family and my sister becoming the Crown Princess, please allow Mu Xi to divorce." The meaning was very clear, if Prince Duan wanted to die, he should not drag her down with him.

As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother Chu shouted angrily, "No, my people cannot die in vain. Go to the prison and get the beans that Princess Duan picked to see if there are any missing!" After that, she looked at Emperor Kangning and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Duan has already admitted it. Isn't that enough to convict him?"

A chill ran through Mu Xi's heart. Damn it! This was clearly an attempt to find fault. Those beans would have already been turned into fertilizer and ended up in the toilet.

Emperor Kang Ning looked at An Muxi's pale face and panicked eyes, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He felt relieved to see this woman nervous.

The Ninth Prince stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, although Prince Duan is a prince of Daxia, he has never enjoyed the proper treatment since he went to Yuanlong Kingdom. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet sent Prince Duan's fertile land and salary! Moreover, he has been a hostage for ten years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard!!!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangning's face immediately turned cold and he stroked his beard, "The Imperial Household Department is not done yet!" Why are they exposing his shortcomings in public?

Just as the Ninth Prince was about to say something, the eunuch's loud voice came.

"The prince is here!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw an old man with white hair and black clothes, sitting in a wheelchair and being slowly pushed into the hall. The old man looked exhausted, with wrinkles on his face that could be stretched two miles. His hands were covered with age spots. He trembled as he opened the imperial edict in his hand and read out with all his strength:

"The late emperor's will!"

Everyone knelt down.

Prince Zong continued to read:

"Prince Nian Duan has been a hostage in Yuanlong Country for ten years. He has endured humiliation for Daxia Country. I will pardon his death penalty this time!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the late emperor actually had a backup plan.
