Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 909: Chapter 910: His Loyalty, as Clear as the Sun and the Moon

An Jing sat in the carriage, worried that the four little ones might be jolted and injured, focusing almost entirely on the four little ones.

As soon as An Jing and Xiao Changyi entered the palace, they had the Chamberlain of Fenghua Palace take the four little ones to find Su Muchen to play, while An Jing and Xiao Changyi, carrying the evidence, went to seek an audience with the Emperor of Xiyun.

The Emperor of Xiyun had already been informed that An Jing and Xiao Changyi had entered the palace, but he did not know for what matter.

Upon her arrival, An Jing spoke directly to the Emperor of Xiyun, ”Imperial Father, the King of Beicheng was framed by Tao Shangran, the King of Beicheng had no intention of rebelling. On the contrary, because the King of Beicheng refused to marry Princess Yao to him, Tao Shangran framed the King of Beicheng, resulting in the massacre of the King of Beicheng’s Five Clans, and not even a complete corpse of the King of Beicheng was left. Here is the evidence that Tao Shangran framed the King of Beicheng, I beg Imperial Father to severely punish Tao Shangran, to give justice to the King of Beicheng, and to vindicate the Five Clans of the King of Beicheng!”

Upon hearing that the King of Beicheng was framed, the old smile on the Emperor of Xiyun’s face disappeared; he took the evidence provided by Xiao Changyi, and indeed, it was Tao Shangran who had framed the King of Beicheng. The Emperor of Xiyun immediately became furious and slammed the table, ”Audacious! Audacious!”

The evidence was several letters written by Tao Shangran to the manager of the King of Beicheng’s mansion, in which he ordered the manager to place a Dragon Robe in the King of Beicheng’s room and instructed him to bring people to bear false witness, ensuring the King of Beicheng would be convicted with incontrovertible ’human and material evidence.’

Not only was there evidence, but there was also a blood letter written by the King of Beicheng.

In the blood letter, the King of Beicheng stated that he was harmed by the villain Tao Shangran, hoped for a day of vindication, and declared his loyalty to Xiyun and the Emperor of Xiyun was clear as day and night.

Even in death, he was a person of Xiyun, and even more so, a subject of the Emperor of Xiyun.

Seeing the Emperor of Xiyun so enraged, An Jing hesitated before saying, ”Imperial Father, this evidence and blood letter were given to us by Princess Yao, who has been on the wanted list. Previously, without evidence, she dared not reveal her true identity. Later, when she learned that Changyi was Prince Yi, she revealed her identity, hoping Changyi would ask you to order a thorough investigation. However, fearing that premature action might alert the culprit, we let Meng Zhuqing accompany her back to Beisheng to verify the evidence, and indeed, it turned out that the King of Beicheng was truly framed.”

”My King of Beicheng... My King of Beicheng...” The Emperor of Xiyun looked as if he had lost a loyal servant.

Before he had ascended the throne, the King of Beicheng was already serving under him, and at that time, the King of Beicheng had not yet been appointed as king.

Later, after he succeeded to the throne and saw the King of Beicheng’s merits, he immediately bestowed a royal title and sent the King of Beicheng to defend Beisheng for him.

Upon learning of the King of Beicheng’s supposed conspiracy, he felt betrayed and was extremely angry.

Just as he was extremely angry at the betrayal by the King of Beicheng back then, now he was deeply grieved at having lost such a loyal servant.

Suddenly, with a grief-stricken face that instantly turned to rage, the Emperor of Xiyun could no longer contain his anger, ”Guards! Arrest Tao Shangran for me, I must have him flayed and dismembered!”

”Yes, Your Majesty!”

An Jing initially wanted to ask the Emperor of Xiyun when he would issue an imperial declaration to announce that the King of Beicheng had been framed by Tao Shangran, but thinking it over, she felt it was too much overstep, so she didn’t ask.

Besides, the Emperor of Xiyun was old, but he was not confused, he would definitely vindicate the King of Beicheng.
