"Get lost!" The emperor kicked Zhao Feng away. "How dare you beg for her? If I forgive you today, how can I explain to the ministers?"

"Will the Zhao family be like this in the future? If you dare to mess around in front of the princess today, I'll see if you dare to rebel tomorrow!"

Yun Zhihan was secretly delighted: His Majesty is so wise!

When Zhao Feng heard the word "rebellion", it was as if he had triggered a certain mechanism, and he quickly admitted his mistake, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. I think that since the eunuch that Lord Du mentioned has not been found yet, we should not rush to end it."

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the person who sent the eunuch must be from the Xie family. As long as we find this person, we will be able to understand the truth and find the culprit who framed my daughter."

The Xie family wants him dead? Then let's all get into this together, no one will survive.

Xie Boyuan took a step forward and knelt before the emperor. "Your Majesty, please look carefully. The Xie family has never done such sneaky things."

Yun Zhihan: ...

She knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to speak boldly."

"Mrs. Xie, please speak!"

The queen standing by always felt something was strange. Why did the emperor become much more amiable as soon as Yun Zhihan spoke?

"I think that the Xie family and the Zhao family have no disputes, but the Zhao family has been causing trouble for my Xie family again and again. I have been thinking about it, but I don't know what the reason is."

"When did the Xie family offend the Zhao family? Otherwise, why did they repeatedly frame my son and damage the reputation of the Xie family? Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, please give me an explanation today."

"What did the Xie family do wrong? Why do they have to bear the blame?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Baijin and Jin Shang also knelt before the emperor.

"Madam Xie, rest assured. I will investigate the matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

Xie family: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Yu was also very angry. It was fine if Zhao Hui was just wishful thinking, but why did she frame Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie? Wasn't this a deliberate slap in her face?

"Father!"

"Yu'er, go ahead."

"Mr. Xie has been guarding beside me today and has never left for a moment. Madam Xie has also been in the inner courtyard and has never walked out of the outer courtyard. In this case, how could she send a young eunuch to do such a thing?"

"Besides, Madam Xie has just arrived at the palace. How could she know the eunuchs in the palace?"

"Yu'er is right, Prince, what do you think?"

When Murong Yan heard his father asking him, he immediately stood up and replied, "Father, I agree with what my elder sister said. I and the other ministers have been in the outer courtyard and have never seen any lady come out."

"I also think that Lord Zhao's statement is untenable."

Zhao Feng argued, "It's possible that they arranged this in advance! I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Yun Zhihan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have discovered that Lord Zhao is very good at guessing."

"What do you mean?" the emperor asked curiously.

"Master Zhao said that this was arranged by the Xie family in advance, but how did we know Zhao Hui's plan? And how can we call Master Du over at the exact time?"

"Could it be that the Xie family has the ability to predict the future? If they really have such an ability, how could I let my husband die on the battlefield, leaving us, an orphan and a widow, to depend on each other for survival?"

After saying that, Yun Zhihan started crying out of grievance. She was indeed aggrieved. Her knees couldn't bear it after kneeling for so long.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he asked, "Zhao Feng, how do you explain it?"

How could Zhao Feng know? He didn't even know why his daughter did this? How could Yun Zhihan and Xie Boyuan know?

"Hmph! You have nothing to say now?"

Du Yulang had long disliked the Zhao family. Since that was the case, he just went with the flow and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me! Lord Zhao must be jealous of my talent and came up with this bad idea to ruin my career!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Feng wanted to tear this beast apart with her bare hands. Her daughter's innocence was gone just like that.

"Shut up!" the emperor stopped him. "Zhao Feng, things have come to this point, why don't you reflect on your mistakes?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Not long after, the Royal Guards came back to report.

"Your Majesty, I questioned all the eunuchs and they all said that they had not gone to see Lord Du."

"Have you asked everything clearly?"

"Your Majesty, I have asked all the questions and questioned all the palace maids. They all said they didn't know. It is very likely that Lord Du made a mistake."

The emperor looked at Du Yulang and asked, "Minister Du, are you sure it was the eunuch who notified you?"

After being asked this question, he began to doubt himself. He was dizzy at the time and did not open his eyes to see who it was. He just felt that the person was nodding and bowing, and was wearing eunuch's clothes. Who would know who he was?

"Your Majesty, I was drunk at the time and I really can't remember it."

"Bastard! Useless thing!" The emperor had a worried look on his face. He couldn't figure out who it was and therefore couldn't judge Du Yulang's role in the matter.

Seeing that the emperor was at a loss, Yun Zhihan said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if the Zhao family staged this on their own and deliberately framed Lord Du?"

As soon as the voice fell, Du Yulang immediately sobered up, "Your Majesty, Madam Xie is absolutely right, it must be a conspiracy of the Zhao family."

The ministers also nodded, thinking that what Yun Zhihan said made sense, even the little eunuch was fake, and it was very likely that Zhao Hui had changed her clothes and said that.

Prince Fenyang frowned. He couldn't continue to argue. If he continued like this, Du Yulang would be in danger. He had to sacrifice pawns to save the chariot.

"emperor!"

"What do you want to say, brother?"

"I can prove that Lord Du was indeed drunk and could barely walk. He was just going to wash his face. He would not have taken such a long detour to the backyard. Someone must have guided him there."

"Yes!" The ministers echoed.

"I think this incident was also done by the Zhao family?"

"That's what I think."

Du Yulang was very happy in his heart, because Prince Fenyang was protecting him.

But Zhao Feng's face was extremely cold. Has the Zhao family become a discarded child now? Ha! What a good Fenyang King, very good. He will not let any of these people go.

The emperor nodded slightly, "Thank you, Madam, thank you, tutor, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Zhao Feng! You failed to educate your daughter properly, falsely accused the imperial officials, allowed your children to frame the Xie family many times, and ruined the eldest princess' birthday banquet. From now on, you no longer have to serve in the Imperial Academy."

"Just transfer him to the Ministry of Industry to repair the bridge. When you have reflected on your mistakes clearly, we can discuss this again."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Mr. Zhou from the Ministry of Works stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what position does Mr. Zhao hold in the Ministry of Works?"

This unclear transfer order left him at a loss as to where to start.

The emperor sneered, "Official position? From now on, Zhao Feng has no official position. He just works at the Ministry of Works to build a bridge and receives a salary from the court."

"It's your Majesty!"

Zhao Feng collapsed to the ground. In just one month, their Zhao family had gone from a family of scholars to a commoner? He swore that he would not let anyone here go, especially Du Yulang.
