Chapter 342 Frame the Crown Prince at Every Turn

In his excitement, Xiao Churen couldn't help but reveal that he had hired someone to seduce Xiao Ye.

After all, he felt that it was better for him to find someone to seduce Xiao Ye than to collude with Bei Mo and frame the Crown Prince.

But he didn't realize that saying those words would only make others think he was jealous of the Crown Prince and was trying to frame him, instead of thinking that Qi Yinyin wasn't a spy from the Northern Desert.

Of course, Emperor Wenjian did not believe this superficial evidence. He still had Qi Yinyin taken outside the main hall and subjected to a brutal interrogation.

However, the final interrogation revealed that Qi Yinyin confessed to being a spy in the Northern Desert and said that the person who forged the emperor's letter was her brother, who had been executed by Consort Liu.

At the same time, Xiao Ye presented some letters from that year, as well as evidence found on the messenger, which undoubtedly settled the matter.

Xiao Churen was completely taken aback by this outcome. He even looked at Qi Yinyin in surprise, wondering if the messenger from back then was really her brother.

What a coincidence!

With all the evidence laid bare, Emperor Wenjian no longer trusted Xiao Churen and immediately issued an order.

"Guards, throw Prince Chu into the imperial prison and keep him under strict guard. A date will be chosen later—"

He originally wanted to say he would cut off his head, but then he thought that besides the blood of the Liu family, he also had his own blood in him.

Then, he changed the subject: "Considering that Prince Chu was young at the time and influenced by Consort Liu, Prince Chu was exiled to the Northwest on a chosen date, and Consort Liu gave him three feet of white silk as a form of mourning! In addition, although there is no evidence to prove that the Liu family is related to Consort Liu, they are also dismissed from their posts and investigated because they are related to Consort Liu by blood!"
