The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

The Grand Princess failed to find out who was behind the incident, so the problem finally fell on the Emperor.

The emperor did find out some things, such as -

The maid who died belonged to the Fifth Prince.

But the Fifth Prince appeared as a victim, crying and saying, "Father, please understand! Although I arranged for that maid to stay in my aunt's house, I am not mentally ill. How could I harm myself? That maid must have another master behind her! I beg you to investigate this matter thoroughly, clear my name, and severely punish the villain behind it!"

The emperor believed it and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"

But how to check?

From the moment the Fifth Prince fabricated lies to clear himself and portray himself as a perfect victim, the direction of the investigation was wrong.

Wrong information is doomed to fail to lead to correct results.

So, no matter how the emperor investigated, he could not find out who was behind the incident.

Just when it seemed that this was about to become an unsolved case, the emperor suddenly said that the matter had been clarified - it was the young master of the Nanyuan Marquisate who did it.

He was publicly reprimanded by the Fifth Prince because he once rode his horse in the street and almost killed someone. He became resentful and planned to take revenge.

What happened in the Grand Princess's Mansion before was his doing.

-

When Regent Liu Yuechen heard the news, he found it absurd.

He knew his brother, the emperor, and knew that if he couldn't find the murderer, he would just grab someone as a scapegoat.

I also speculated which powerful people in Kyoto who had committed evil deeds might become scapegoats for this incident.

Although the Regent did not agree with this method, he thought that if he could use it to get rid of some treacherous ministers and evildoers, it would be considered as eliminating harm for the people.

But how could this person be the young master of Nanyuan Marquis’s family?

Everyone in Kyoto knows that the young master of the Nanyuan Marquis's family is the kindest and most law-abiding person.

The so-called horse-running crime is nothing more than the horse accidentally ingesting drugs and becoming out of control and crazy.

Before the Fifth Prince spoke politely and scolded him to establish his authority, the young master had already taken the initiative to lower his posture and admitted his mistake in front of everyone.

Moreover, in the next two or three days he spent a lot of silver to appease the frightened people.

Such an upright and courageous person would not mind such arrogant accusations, nor would he disdain to retaliate with such dirty means, let alone dare to challenge the imperial power or plot against the prince.

His heart is sincere and his actions are clear, how could the emperor not know?

How can you not know?

Ordinary people have eyes to see and ears to hear, so they can distinguish right from wrong.

The emperor has connections everywhere, and everyone in the court is his spies, so he knows what is right and wrong.

He knew that the young master of Nanyuan Marquis's family was innocent, and he knew better than anyone that the scandals of the two princes had nothing to do with the young master.

But he still said that the young master was guilty.

Because those in power will never admit their incompetence, if they encounter a situation where they cannot find out the whole story, they will find a scapegoat to end the matter.

Obviously, this time he chose the young master of Nanyuan Marquis's Mansion.

It is said that the great-grandfather of this young prince, the first Marquis of Nanyuan, was the brother of the founding emperor, and it was he who helped conquer the world.

It’s a pity that our ancestors are gone and our descendants are mediocre.

Today, the emperor has been in a peaceful and prosperous era for too long, and has become accustomed to the bright and glorious world, and has long forgotten the dusty history.

The loyal and brave hero who made great contributions to the country is no longer with us, and his achievements seem to have become insignificant. His descendants have also become waste in the eyes of the emperor, who only waste the national treasury and eat nothing.

The emperor had long wanted to deprive him of his title and withdraw his favor, but he was troubled by the fact that although the descendants of the Nanyuan Marquisate were mediocre, they all abided by their duties, and he could not find any mistakes.

Now that he has a scapegoat, he can take advantage of the situation.

This really kills two birds with one stone!!

The more the Regent thought about it, the colder the aura around him became.

finally--

The brush in his hand was broken.

The uneven wooden splinter pierced into his finger, and bright red blood soon oozed out.

Mu Qing was anxious, "My Lord..."

The Regent raised his eyes suddenly, his dark eyes were dangerous and terrifying, "Mu Qing, prepare the horses!"
