The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 603: Using a dead person to trick him three times

The atmosphere in the dark room became stagnant at this moment.

Pei Zhaozhi looked at Shen Yanxi worriedly. Although the emperor could certainly hear the provocation in the Fourth Prince's words, the hateful thing was that even though he knew it was a provocation, the emperor would definitely still be unhappy.

If Yan Xi answered that the court was more important, the emperor might not completely believe him. If he answered that Sui Ning was more important, the emperor would be dissatisfied with the fact that the prime minister of a country was trapped in love affairs.

Just when Pei Zhaozhi was worried about how Shen Yanxi would answer, Jiang Suining spoke first.

"The Fourth Prince's question is truly meaningless."

"Why is it meaningless?" Xiao Yi turned his gaze to Jiang Suining.

"I don't think I am on the opposite side of the court, and my husband doesn't need to make a choice. The people who are truly harmful to the court are those who kill loyal people for their own selfish interests and take human lives lightly. And if one day you really want to abandon me for the sake of the country and the people, then I can make the choice myself without him having to make a choice."

Jiang Suining's voice was not loud, but it was extremely firm, making it impossible to doubt the truthfulness of her words.

Shen Yanxi also bowed to Emperor Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, since I took office, I have fulfilled my duties conscientiously and never thought that my family would take precedence over the court. But Ningning is my wife, and it is human nature to protect my wife. I don't understand why the Fourth Prince insisted on asking me to make a choice when there is no conflict between the two. And it's hard to believe which one I choose without any evidence. "

Emperor Xiao also understood that there was no point in saying this choice at this moment, but at that moment, he still wanted to hear the answer.

But Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi both said so, so it would be inappropriate for him, as the emperor, to dig into the matter.

Although he was still a little unhappy, Emperor Xiao still softened his expression.

"Lord Shen, you were promoted by me. I naturally believe that you know your limits and will never sacrifice the country for your own family. But you..."

Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Yi coldly.

"As a prince, you have been favored since childhood and enjoyed power and status, but you have no intention of serving the country and the people. You actually did such a bastard and cruel thing. I am really disappointed."

There were waves in Xiao Yi's eyes, which eventually turned into a deep coldness.

"Since Father already knows everything, I have nothing to argue with. I will listen to whatever you want to do. However..."

Xiao Yi's gaze gradually fell on Feng Yimin, who was still hiding in the corner and had not spoken a word from beginning to end.

"This prince has one last question. Is he Feng Yimin?"

From the moment he came in until now, Feng Yimin has been just huddled in the corner, not saying a single word.

At first he just thought that Feng Yimin was frightened, so he huddled in the corner and dared not make any sound, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But now he still didn't say a word, as if he was just an object placed there. The Feng Yimin in front of him was really suspicious.

Jiang Suining followed Xiao Yi's gaze, and after a moment's silence, he chuckled.

"Of course not."

Feng Yimin in the corner finally raised his head. A face that looked 70% like Feng Yimin, but after wiping away the traces of disguise bit by bit, a completely different face was revealed.

Jiang Suining said, "He is Liu Wu who was beside Mei Qiniang. As for the real Feng Yimin, he has indeed been killed by the assassin sent by His Highness."

Although Shen Yanxi sent people to rescue the dying Feng Yimin, the seriously injured Feng Yimin only lasted for three days and eventually died.

The last bit of forced calmness in Xiao Yi's eyes was completely shattered as the identity of the fake Feng Yimin was revealed.

He felt angry and absurd, and the look he gave Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi was filled with murderous intent, as if mixed with the wind, frost, and swords.

"It's really ridiculous that Feng Yimin, who is already dead, is being used by you to fool this prince again and again!"

Using the false news spread by Lin Jie, picking up people in the suburbs to lead him to expose the identity of the murderer behind the scenes, and now using his own thoughts of killing to silence him, he let his father hear everything...

Ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!

I was actually being played around by Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi like a fool!

Shen Yanxi said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to be so angry. After all, we have been played around by you before, and we have been used as a knife in your hand and a chess piece in your hand."

"That's right." Jiang Suining nodded and said, "And if Your Highness hadn't burned down the prison of the Ministry of Justice, burned Chu Yishen to death, sent people to silence Feng Yimin, and even poisoned the third prince to death, wiping out all the witnesses and evidence, we wouldn't have to go to such great lengths."

When they learned of Feng Yimin's death, they knew that they would probably not be able to find any evidence.

In this situation, the only way is to lure the Fourth Prince to continue to take action on this matter, so that it is possible to get some evidence.

So, they pretended that Feng Yimin was not dead, the fake Feng Yimin in the suburbs, in order to confirm the truth and make Xiao Yi tell everything.

The purpose of sending Feng Yimin, who was pretended to be Liu Wu, to the Ministry of Justice was to hang a knife over Xiao Yi's heart at all times, making him believe that the matter was not over yet. As long as Xiao Yi would take some action, everything would turn around.

However, it must be said that Xiao Yi was indeed very patient. Feng Yimin had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for such a long time, but he did not take any action.

In order to hide Liu Wu's identity and make people think that he is really Feng Yimin, a lot of effort is required.

This play had been going on for such a long time, and just when they began to doubt whether they could continue, the incident with Prince Chu happened.

Prince Chu was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Xiao Yi requested to be in charge of the case. When she and Shen Yanxi received the news, they both knew that the opportunity Xiao Yi had been waiting for had come, which also meant that the opportunity they had been waiting for had also come.

After performing for such a long time, the play can finally come to an end today, and the result is satisfactory.

No, that's not right!

There is no complete result yet.

Jiang Suining glanced secretly at Emperor Xiao who was standing beside him.

After all, it is still uncertain how the emperor will deal with Xiao Yi.

Pei Zhaozhi was also thinking about this in his heart. He knelt down in front of Emperor Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, I was in charge of the disaster relief case before. I have also been investigating the burning of the Ministry of Justice prison. I beg Your Majesty to hand over the case of the Fourth Prince to me for trial."

Emperor Xiao glanced at Pei Zhaozhi coldly, and showed a moment of hesitation on his face, but then he said: "You are involved in this matter, so you are not suitable to be the presiding judge."

"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Justice, and I..."

Pei Zhaozhi still wanted to fight for it, but was coldly suppressed by Emperor Xiao.

"I will decide who will judge this matter, so there is no need to say more."
