Ye Yuxiao was puzzled and followed the emperor a few steps towards the other side of the public case.

The emperor said to her: "After you find out who it is, you don't have to say it, just write it down."

His voice was neither loud nor quiet, and it was not far from the public case. All the courtiers could hear it. Is it necessary to pull her out specifically? Ye Yuxiao was speechless for a while, and suddenly understood the emperor's intention - he deliberately let those courtiers hear it. He was afraid that too many courtiers were involved, and exposing them all at once would cause riots or even a coup, but he didn't want them to have a hard time, so he used this method to make them panic.

Ye Yuxiao responded cooperatively, returned to the desk, continued to check fingerprints with a magnifying glass, and then wrote down the names of the matching numbers one by one.

The courtiers watched her writing silently, with wonderful expressions on their faces.

After checking the fingerprints on the envelope, Ye Yuxiao folded the paper with the name on it and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor looked down at the name and sneered: "Didn't you say that King Yingchuan collaborated with the enemy? How come there are so many people who have passed this letter? I bet it was many of you who joined forces and laid a big net, and you thought King Yingchuan was a target in the net. Fish, by the way, he also stabbed the prince."

None of them knew whose names Ye Yuxiao had written on the paper. No one dared to speak casually, and there was an eerie silence in the hall.

The emperor slapped the paper with his name on the case and said: "Although Wu Yunzhu is not the mastermind, he is undoubtedly an accomplice. He is now being held back in prison, awaiting punishment."

As soon as the emperor's words fell to the ground, officials came in and took Wu Yunzhu down.

The emperor turned his gaze to Dou Shuge and said: "Take him to the sky prison and wait for my personal interrogation."

Dou Shuge was just the Minister of Rites, how did he know the confidential military information? If Wu Yunzhu is a chess piece in his hand, then he, like Wu Yunzhu, is just a chess piece in someone else's hand. The names written by Ye Yuxiao have verified this.

At this time, no one of the courtiers in the hall dared to raise their head and look directly at the emperor. The emperor sneered and said: "My dear friends, please follow me into the palace now and examine Dou Shuge together."

Are you planning on letting them go home? It seems that the emperor is going to make a big move? Ye Yuxiao thought to himself.

The emperor stood up and walked out.

Did he forget something? Ye Yuxiao quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, since there is another person who handled the secret letter, is Ah Sheng innocent?"

The emperor's footsteps did not stop: "After my trial, I will make my own judgment."

Need to be interrogated? Still have to wait? Ye Yuxiao was very disappointed, but also expressed his understanding. After all, it was such a big case of collaborating with the enemy, and one could not be released without secondary verification.

The emperor left with the group of courtiers, and the court hall became empty.

Ye Yuxiao stayed in the hall for a while and then went to the dungeon of Dali Temple to visit Wu Yunzhu. She made a fuss about having her fingerprints tested in court today. No one in the dungeon dared to stop her anymore, and she entered the cell unimpeded.

Wu Yunzhu collapsed on a pile of withered, dirty and bloody straw, crying her eyes out. When she saw Ye Yuxiao coming, she cried and said to her: "Princess Yingchuan, if I had known that he was a courtier of the Xi Dynasty, if I had known that he was trying to frame King Yingchuan, I would never have followed his wishes. It’s done.”

While checking her physical condition, Ye Yuxiao said: "Even if you don't know anything, you should know that you are lying from beginning to end."

Wu Yunzhu was suddenly speechless.

Ye Yuxiao said: "But it is up to the emperor to decide what kind of punishment you should receive. It has nothing to do with me."

Wu Yunzhu looked at her checking her wounds and murmured: "Since you haven't forgiven me, why are you still treating me? You told me to live so that I could breathe in front of the emperor of Xi Dynasty. Do you want to identify Mr. Dou?"

"Even if you don't identify me, I will treat you." Ye Yuxiao said calmly, "In front of the patient, I am just a doctor."

Wu Yunzhu blinked, trying to understand the meaning of her words.

Ye Yuxiao didn't expect her to understand. After checking her physical condition and asking the doctor to remove the needle, she stood up and prepared to leave.

"Princess Yingchuan!" Wu Yunzhu managed to hold herself up and called her, "My daughter, will you help me raise it, right?"

She had harmed Ouyang Sheng like this, and she still expected her to help raise the child? What were you thinking? Because she showed kindness, did she automatically become demanding? Ye Yuxiao resisted the urge to curse and said: "She is the suspect's daughter now. It is not my turn to decide who will raise her."

Wu Yunzhu's face was full of disappointment: "I am of no use now, and you treat me like this. If I had known this, I should not have thought of repaying your kindness for saving me and told the truth."

"Did I treat you like this? How did I treat you? According to you, once you come out of court, you are no longer of use. Why should I come to the dungeon again to check your body?" Ye Yuxiao was really touched. Angry, he turned around and gave her a good shout, "I do hope you will tell the truth in front of the emperor, but even if you don't tell me, isn't there anything I can do? I used a magnifying glass to check my fingerprints. This is purely My own abilities have nothing to do with you, right?"

Wu Yunzhu was speechless.

But Ye Yuxiao hasn't finished speaking yet: "I originally thought that you were being used by others at most. Your identity and your children have nothing to do with the mastermind behind the scenes. But after you revealed the truth, I realized that you were She got pregnant with a child after having an affair with someone, and the person she had an affair with, the father of the child, was the mastermind behind the affair. So now you want me to raise the daughter of my enemy? Do you think I have such a generous heart? Or do you think I’m stupid?”

Wu Yunzhu finally lowered his head, not embarrassed to say another word.

Ye Yuxiao turned around and left with a cold face.

Before she left the cell, Wu Yunzhu suddenly asked her: "Have you discovered a long time ago that I am the concubine of the fake Prince Yingchuan?"

Ye Yuxiao said: "First of all, I want to correct you. You have never served me tea, nor have you established a concubinage document. You are not the concubine of King Yingchuan from the beginning to the end. Secondly, that letter is fake. .”

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Wu Yunzhu pondered for a long time before realizing that she was talking about the letter that Ouyang Sheng asked her to send back to Daxi. Her daughter is from Dou Shuge, so the letter is naturally fake, but how did Ye Yuxiao figure it out? She couldn't figure it out.

Ye Yuxiao left the Dali Temple dungeon and went to Prince Pingnan's Mansion.

Everyone in Prince Pingnan's palace gathered in Weihu Hall, waiting for news about her. Gu Qingyan and his wife, Gu Ruyan and his wife, and Tan Shizhao and his wife were also there.

As soon as she entered the door, Princess Pingnan waved to her: "Xiaoxiao, you have worked hard today. You must be exhausted. Come sit down and have a rest."

Ye Yuxiao walked over and snuggled into Princess Pingnan's arms.

Gu Ruyan poured her a cup of tea with her own hands and asked eagerly: "Cousin, I heard that you used a crystal mirror to prove your cousin-in-law's innocence? Why hasn't your cousin-in-law been acquitted yet?"

Gu Qingyan was even more anxious: "Could it be that the emperor has other plans? What if Dou Shuge has another conspiracy to reverse the case?"
