Prince Ze also stood up.

"Father, I think Cousin Chaoan is not that kind of person. There must be something hidden. Please issue an order to investigate this matter thoroughly and give justice to Cousin Chaoan."

Prince Shu, Prince Heng and others also stood up.

Minister Lu of the Ministry of Revenue also stood up at this time.

"Your Majesty, I have been in contact with Princess Chao'an for such a long time, and I have some understanding of Princess Chao'an's character. Moreover, Princess Chao'an is very clear about farming, planting crops, and weather. She is much more familiar with it than ordinary old farmers. I believe that Princess Chao'an is not the one who killed the farmer's family. There is another hidden story behind this matter..."

When the emperor saw Minister Lu standing up, his eyes darkened slightly.

The other ministers were also surprised when they saw Minister Lu stand up.

"Why is Minister Lu speaking up for Princess Chao'an? Could it be that Princess Chao'an gave Minister Lu some benefits?"

"Minister Lu is usually the most upright person. This time he spoke up for Princess Chao'an because she provided so many crops and made great contributions."

"That's right. Princess Chao'an first donated a sum of money, and then Lord Xie donated millions of his fortune. Princess Chao'an then promoted these three crops. Minister Lu is very busy now because of this matter, and it can feed countless people. Minister Lu must have helped Princess Chao'an to intercede because of her contribution."

"Actually, I don't believe this either. Princess Chaoan has done so many good deeds. How could she possibly kill an entire family of farmers?"

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows if Princess Chao'an really did such a cruel thing? After all, this is a great achievement."

“This matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly.”

The ministers were arguing fiercely with each other.

The emperor looked at the Minister of Justice, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and others.

"Since someone has reported it to the authorities and there is evidence, Lord Lu and Lord Tang, you should investigate this matter carefully and make sure you get to the bottom of it..."

"The minister obeys the order."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Princess Zhaoyang was in Shoukang Palace. When she heard the news from the court meeting, her face turned ugly. She knew all these things. This was a false accusation. Her Zhaoer had done so many things for the country and the people. Now someone was setting a trap to harm Zhaoer.

Princess Zhaoyang summoned her subordinates and gave them a lot of instructions.

Seeing Princess Zhaoyang come in, the Queen Mother spoke.

"Zhaoyang, what happened?"

Seeing a smile on Princess Zhaoyang's face, the Queen Mother spoke.

"The Queen Mother must hear the truth. Don't lie to her."

After hearing her mother's words, Princess Zhaoyang looked at the Queen Mother and said.

"Mother, please don't be angry at what I said."

Hearing Princess Zhaoyang's words, the Queen Mother nodded.

"You said that the Queen Mother is not angry."

Princess Zhaoyang told what happened in the court.

When the Empress Dowager heard that someone had falsely accused Princess Chao'an and gone to the capital to file a complaint, she was so angry that she trembled.

"This is outrageous. How much hatred do they have against Chao An that they would do such a thing to deal with Chao An."

The Queen Mother was very angry.

How could her granddaughter do such a thing? She had already investigated Chaoan's affairs over the years, and Zhaoyang and Zhaoer also told her about the crops.

It was clearly Chaoan's achievement, but now they are accusing Chaoan of murdering an entire family and stealing the credit.
