Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

"Sister-in-law, are these the new clothes you made for your cousin? Your craftsmanship is so good!"

In the inner courtyard room, Xiao Lexuan looked at the purple brocade dress in front of her, and looked at Jiang Heyan aside with great surprise.

This brocade garment is finely made and has a soft texture. You can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has been put into it.

Jiang Heyan nodded shyly and said softly: "I haven't had time to try it on Your Highness, so I don't know if this dress will fit me."

In fact, the clothes were made two days ago.

It's just that His Highness has been busy during this period and has little free time, so she can't bother too much.

Xiao Lexuan said with a smile: "Hey, this dress is definitely suitable for my cousin. Sister-in-law, I didn't know you had this skill? How about I come to the house more often and you teach me embroidery and needlework! Then I will also Make new clothes for my parents."

Xiao Lexuan is the youngest daughter of Xiao Fang and the only daughter of the Dafang family.

Therefore, Xiao Lexuan has been almost pampered by these elders since she was a child, and she has not learned many skills.

"Okay! If you are willing, I can teach you at any time." Jiang Heyan replied with a smile.

"Haha, sister-in-law, we've made an agreement then. You won't think I'm stupid when the time comes." Xiao Lexuan said with a smile.

"Well, actually it's not difficult to learn this. You can definitely learn it well." Jiang Heyan replied.

After that, the two women chatted about other topics.

It wasn't until Youshi that Xiao Zuo came over to call Xiao Lexuan home, and then she followed him and left Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

....

Imperial capital.

Fengtian Palace, early morning.

All the officials have arrived and are standing neatly on both sides of the hall. Emperor Wu is sitting on the dragon chair, his deep black eyes scanning the officials below like a dragon dormant.

Afterwards, Emperor Wu looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Lao Jiu, how is your investigation of the high integrity matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Jue, Gu Mao, Li Daoxue and other officials glanced at Gu Chen subconsciously, then slowly withdrew their gaze and remained calm.

Gu Chen took a step inward, bowed and said, "Father, these are the testimonies that I have collected over the past few days. They are all left by people who have suffered high levels of persecution."

After saying that, the eunuch immediately walked up to Gu Chen and presented all the testimonies in his hand to Emperor Wu's table.

Emperor Wu gently flipped through a few pages, frowned slightly, looked at the eunuch beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Prefect Xuan Gao is coming in."

"yes."

The eunuch nodded, then walked to the door of the hall and shouted loudly: "Proclaim the prefect of Gao to enter the hall with integrity!"

The sound was extremely sharp and loud.

Within a moment, Gao Lian, who was wearing a prison uniform and with messy hair, was brought in under the escort of several jailers.

Gao Qinglian glanced at Nangong Jue and others first, then walked into the hall and knelt on the ground, "I have seen your majesty, the magistrate Gao Qinglian."

"Incorruptible, do you know your crime?" Emperor Wu asked directly.

With tears in his eyes, Gao Qinglian looked at Emperor Wu with a very sincere look, "Your Majesty, I am really wronged. You can't believe His Highness Prince Zhuang's words!"

He couldn't admit this crime even if he was beaten to death, otherwise death would be the only thing waiting for him.

Moreover, Master Nangong, the commander-in-chief, came to visit him in prison yesterday, and there will definitely be a way to clear his name.

"Then how do you explain these testimonies?" Emperor Wu asked.

After saying that, he threw all the testimony that Gu Chen had just presented to him in front of Gao Lian.

Gao Qian picked up the testimony on the ground, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly turned pale.

The next moment, he knocked his head directly on the ground and said with great fear: "Your Majesty, slander, this is absolutely slander! I am devoted to the country and never have second thoughts. It is absolutely impossible to oppress the people and plunder the people's anointment."

"Your Majesty, you must trust Wei Chen!"

Even if the evidence is now conclusive, Gao Lian still refuses to admit it.

Because, once he admits what he has done, it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty to give him any way to survive.

"Do you think I am a fool! Or do you insist that I bring witnesses before you are willing to plead guilty!" Emperor Wu said indifferently.

These testimonies explained in detail what Gao Lian had done over the years.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that this testimony cannot be false.

The other party is still denying it and is completely deceiving himself.

Seeing Emperor Wu's rage, Gao Qinglian was so panicked that his head almost hit the ground, "Your Majesty, I...I really am..."

"Come here, suppress Gao Qiangan and execute him at noon tomorrow!"

Before Gao Qinglian could finish speaking, Emperor Wu was too lazy to listen to the other party's explanation and directly waved his hand and gave instructions.

Afterwards, two imperial guards immediately walked into the hall and directly dragged Gao Lian up.

"Your Majesty, this is unfair!"

"Prime Minister, please say a few words to me quickly. Please help me! I really did not embezzle people's money."

"Your Majesty, I am dedicated to serving the country. I have toiled hard even without merit. You can't kill me!"

Gao Lian struggled desperately and kept shouting. The scene was very similar to the last time he was dragged away.

It was not until Gao Qinglian left the palace that the court was at peace.

By the end of the morning, officials from all walks of life left one after another.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Now that the verdict has been pronounced, Gao Lian probably guessed that we gave up on him. It seems that our actions will need to be accelerated."

Nangong Jue sat on the Grand Master's chair with a serious look on his face, then looked at Nangong Qin below and asked, "Have the arrangements been made for the prison?"

Nangong Qin frowned and said: "Grandpa, I originally planned to poison the food of the clean and honest people. But today for some reason, Xiao Zuo of the Xiao family went directly to the prison to inspect the food. The food and the jailers were very careful. Almost No detail will be missed. Therefore, my previous plan... will probably be abandoned!"

"It seems that Prince Zhuang has guessed that we are going to take action against Gao Lian. It seems that we still underestimate him!" Nangong Jue also frowned.

"It's all the fault of this guy Lao Jiu!"

Gu Mao also frowned, clenched his right hand tightly, then looked at Nangong Jue and asked: "Grandpa, what should we do now! If Gao Qian now guesses that we have given up on him, won't he tell us to protect himself? come out."

As the prince, he is not afraid of being harmed by the other party.

But the connections and relationships they have painstakingly built over the years will be affected to some extent.

These are not the results Gu Mao wants to see.

"He should still be hesitating, otherwise, he can tell us directly in Fengtian Palace today." Nangong Jue said.

Gao Qingqing was promoted by him, and he somewhat understood the other party's thoughts.

He should still be making decisions in his current state.

Either compromise with King Zhuang and exchange the secrets he has learned over the years for a chance to save his life.

Or wait and see if he will go to the prison to find him again.

However, the other party's current thinking should be more inclined to the former.

Immediately, Nangong Jue picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote a line of text. He looked at Nangong Qin again and said, "It's really dark, so let's make it clear. Qin'er, go to the prison again and clear this up." Give a note to Gao Qiang."

"good."

Nangong Qin quickly stood up and took the note from Nangong Qin's hand.
