The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

In the Golden Palace, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to say a word.

But after what happened today, anyone with a little insight, after witnessing everything, has now more or less guessed the truth of the matter.

How could every courtier who walked into the Golden Palace be stupid?

The truth behind the Five Stones Powder and the secret deployment of troops is probably related to the Fifth Prince.

Nian Rongchuan, whom Duan Quan mentioned, was originally the Fifth Prince's study companion. He had grown up with the Fifth Prince since childhood and was the Fifth Prince's real confidant. It was not surprising that the Fifth Prince was implicated in Nian Rongchuan's affairs.

What made all the court officials nervous was the relationship between Prime Minister Bai and the Fifth Prince.

In fact, everyone, including the emperor, had suspected that the stationing of troops in this secret base was planned by Prime Minister Bai and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.

The reason why everyone's speculation was dispelled was nothing else but the sudden arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

I have to say that the timing of His Highness's appearance was too coincidental.

The Five-Stone Powder matter was sponsored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When Duan Quan reports back, it must be according to the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose today to expose the matter of the Five Stones Powder must be related to Mo Chong's report on Bai Xiang.

If the person behind this was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would definitely not let Mo Chong point out the matter in the Golden Palace, and he would not set up a secret base around Xihu.

You must know that Xihu is the territory of the Duke of England and the base of the Crown Prince's power.

Your Highness the Crown Prince really does not need to add another layer of guard tigers around Xihu.

Besides, if His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince could control his expression a little and not be so anxious, I'm sure everyone would not have made the direct judgment they did now.

Duan Quan, who had been deliberately ignored by everyone because of Mo Chong's appearance, stood up when everyone dared not speak: "Your Majesty, what Mo Chong said is horrifying.

If what Mo Chong said was true, and the people's petition was genuine, then how vicious must the person behind the scenes be!

What they did was consistent with the Five Stones Powder, and they were all intended to shake the foundation of the Tianyuan Dynasty!

I implore His Majesty to order a thorough investigation into the secret stationing of troops.

If Bai Xiang was really slandered, it would be better to clear his name as soon as possible."

Duan Quan's words were very well-spoken and immediately received a response from the court officials in the Golden Palace.

All of a sudden, both civil officials and military generals stood up and begged the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter of Bai Xiang.

The handling of Baiqi's issue is now a foregone conclusion and is what the people want.

Even if the emperor wanted to favor Bai Qi, he was powerless. What's more, the emperor had no intention of protecting Bai Qi at all.

Over the years, the emperor was not completely unaware of what the Bai family had done in secret.

Most of the time, the emperor turned a blind eye. As long as Bai Qi worked for him wholeheartedly, the emperor would be happy to do so if the Bai family wanted to gain some benefits.

But now, Bai Qi's secret deployment of troops has come to light, which has touched the emperor's bottom line.

Bai Qi is now the prime minister, second only to the emperor, above everyone else, and the head of the civil officials. Why does he still hold military power?

An important official who has power, food, and troops in his hands is someone the emperor cannot tolerate!

Putting away the bloody handkerchief in his hand, the emperor took a few deep breaths to hide his anger that was about to burst out: "Bai Qi, now all the evidence points to you, the people's petition, this is a major event related to the people's livelihood, and we must not neglect it.

Come, take Bai Qi to the Heavenly Prison, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince preside over the matter of the Bai family's garrisoning of troops!"

Yuan Ruiyuan seemed to have predicted today's outcome. When he heard the emperor's words, he just replied respectfully, "Yes, father."

Looking at his eldest son, the emperor felt a rare sense of relief for some reason.

Although the prince was born from the queen's womb, he is indeed her most capable and competent son, much better than the fifth son!

"With what happened in the Bai Mansion, it's really not suitable to continue the marriage.

As for your marriage with Bai Yuxin, let’s call it quits!”

As soon as the emperor said this, Yuan Ruiyuan immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, father."

What the emperor said today was unexpected. Yuan Ruiyuan thought that canceling the engagement would require a lot of effort and conversation.

Unexpectedly, the emperor spoke first, which saved Yuan Ruiyuan a lot of trouble.

Yuan Ruiyin stared at what was happening in front of him and broke out in a sweat. What should he do in the current situation?

The prince will definitely not miss this opportunity and will solve as many problems as he can.

Once the incident of the Five-Stone Powder and the secret base came to light, not to mention the huge loss of troops, the Fifth Prince couldn't even protect himself!

It’s really weird, how come this prince knows everything!

After waiting for a while, Duan Quan still hadn't heard the emperor's decision on the Five Stones Powder incident, so he had no choice but to continue: "Your Majesty, do you know about Nian Rongchuan's incident?"

The emperor raised his hand slightly and said: "Nian Rongchuan secretly planned the Five Stone Powder incident, which endangered the foundation of the country and should have implicated the family, but considering that Nianchuan had made great contributions to the court.

As for the Five-Stone Powder incident, Nian Rongchuan was beheaded in public, and Nianchuan was stripped of his official position and demoted to a commoner!"

As soon as the emperor said this, Nian Chuan seemed to have all the strength drained out of his body. He collapsed to the ground, taking a long time to react and couldn't even utter a word to beg for mercy!
