The leading eunuch was holding a box in his hands, which trembled violently as his body shook.
The senior eunuch stepped forward and kicked him, shouting harshly, "The Emperor is asking you! Hurry up and tell us what you've found!"
The junior eunuch didn't care about the pain. He fumbled to open the box in his hands and held it above his head. "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
The senior eunuch quickly stepped forward, roughly inspected the contents to ensure there was no danger, and then took the box and presented it to Feng Linche.
Feng Linche's eyebrows arched like crescent hooks.
Everyone craned their necks to look.
The eunuch beside Feng Linche was no ordinary person. He had seen all sorts of things.
What on earth was it that could scare him like this?
Feng Linche leaned forward, took out a stack of things mixed with silk cloth and paper from the box, and carefully examined them one by one. Then, his eyes suddenly widened, his face contorted, and his complexion turned extremely ugly.
Empress Chu looked at him in surprise and also glanced at the things in his hands. Soon, her face also changed completely. "Your Majesty..."
Feng Linche almost immediately made a decision. He shouted sternly to everyone present, "It's getting late. You may all retire and go back to rest early."
Everyone was stunned, and their expressions became a riot of colors.
What on earth was it that had forced Feng Linche to send them away?
Zhuo Lingxiao suddenly stood up, dissatisfied. "Your Majesty, we still haven't received an explanation regarding our princess. Sending us back like this, what's the meaning of this?"
Feng Linche remained expressionless and said coldly, "I'm right here in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace. Where could I possibly run to? Prince Zhuo, rest assured. I will definitely give Princess Yunxi an explanation for this matter. However, what follows concerns the internal affairs of our Great Zhou and the private matters between the monarch and his ministers. It would be inconvenient for the prince and the princess to stay here. Please go back early."
Princess Yunxi quickly said, "Your Majesty! I'm already Prince Third's woman now. Sooner or later, I'll marry Prince Third and become your daughter - in - law and the Princess Consort of the Third Prince of the Great Zhou. What matter can't you handle in front of me?"
"Since the princess understands this principle, she should also know that what I want is an obedient daughter - in - law, not someone who always opposes me!" Feng Linche was almost furious. He suppressed the anger in his chest and said, "When I tell you to go, you should go obediently. As long as you're obedient, I'll make your wishes come true."
Princess Yunxi's eyes lit up. "Your Majesty means?"
"Didn't the princess say that she likes the third son?" Feng Linche gave her a meaningful look.
At this moment, Feng Jingxuan, who had been in a daze because he couldn't accept the current situation, finally came to his senses. When he heard Feng Linche's words, his heart sank suddenly. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Princess Yunxi forced herself to hold back her joy and quickly lowered her head. "Thank you, Your Majesty! Then, Yunxi will take her leave first."
After saying that, she tugged at Zhuo Lingxiao, who was still a bit reluctant to leave, and they left first.
Seeing them leave, Feng Linche turned around contentedly and stared intently at the others who were still lingering.
When everyone saw that Princess Yunxi and Zhuo Lingxiao had already left, and were startled by Feng Linche's fierce gaze, they quickly got up and left as if fleeing.
Inside the palace hall, except for Feng Linche, Empress Chu and their entourage, only the Bai Yizhang family, and the three brothers Feng Jingye, Feng Jingxuan, and Feng Jingyi remained.
Bai Zheng and Su Muxiao were hiding behind Feng Linyuan and didn't leave either.
Feng Linche glanced at them indifferently and said nothing. He just waited until most of the irrelevant people had left. As soon as the doors of Wenrui Hall were closed, his calm face seemed to suddenly tear open, becoming hideous.
He stared at Bai Yizhang fiercely, almost devouring him. "Bai, Yi, Zhang. Why didn't I notice before that you're so good at acting!"
Although Bai Yizhang felt guilty, he still stubbornly said, "Your Majesty! I really don't know what Your Majesty means. Eunuch, what did you find? Are you sure it's something from the General's Mansion? Maybe someone else planted it there to frame me!"
After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Feng Linyuan.
"At this moment, you still want to frame others?" Feng Linche directly threw the stack of things in his hand at Bai Yizhang's face and roared, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
A pile of white silk cloth and paper scattered in front of Bai Yizhang.
Bai Zheng narrowed her eyes and clearly saw that these things were exactly the letters from various officials in Yongding City that she had forced Bai Yizhang to hand over when she threatened him to save Bai Yinan who was in prison.
These letters alone wouldn't have made Feng Linche this angry. After all, they weren't really crucial evidence.
The problem was that among these letters, there were also many letters of corruption written by the people in the mansion under Bai Zheng's order, imitating the handwriting of these officials.
Originally, with the help of the secret guards of the General's Mansion, these letters had been delivered to the mansions of various officials, causing quite a stir in the court.
Now, these letters had been found in Bai Di's boudoir.
This meant that the mastermind behind the corruption case of 200,000 taels of silver that had shocked the entire court and turned Yongding City upside down was actually the General's Mansion!
Bai Yizhang's face instantly turned deathly pale. Almost as soon as he saw the letters, he turned his scarlet eyes towards Bai Zheng, who was hiding behind Feng Linyuan. "You bitch! How dare you harm me! Your Majesty, I didn't write these things. I know nothing, Your Majesty! You can investigate. These were all written by that bitch and the people from the Bai Mansion!"
Bai Zheng pretended to be surprised. "Uncle, what are you talking about? Zheng'er doesn't understand at all..."
Feng Linyuan stepped forward a few steps, glanced at the letters on the ground, and then suddenly realized. "Marquis Zhao, Duke Qing... So the letters of corruption found in these mansions were all written and planted by you, General?"
"It wasn't me! It was all her, that bitch Bai Zheng, and the people from the Bai Mansion!" Bai Yizhang was so angry that his face was distorted, and he shouted loudly.
Hearing this, Bai Zheng immediately looked aggrieved. "Uncle, the General's Mansion and the Bai Mansion are of the same family. How can the General's Mansion drag the Bai Mansion into trouble when it has done something wrong? Uncle, you know best whether the people in our Bai Mansion have the ability to secretly sneak into other mansions!"
Feng Linyuan also sneered coldly. "Is the General lying without even thinking now? If I remember correctly, it was the Bai Mansion where the letters of corruption were first discovered. Minister Bai was the first person in Yongding to be imprisoned for this matter, right?"
