The Palace Maid next to her, because she was afraid, she said that Lin Xiafu had instructed her to do so. She said that this method could be used to recuperate one's body, and then, everyone in the palace started to wear it.

The evidence was conclusive, and no amount of explanation was useful.

The conspiracy against the Emperor was a huge crime, but if one were to talk about it like that, the Empress was one of them. Thus, this matter was no longer just a matter of the Emperor's family, it had to be discussed with the other officials in the imperial court.

Lin Jing and Zhou Leping had been waiting anxiously from day to night, not expecting such a result.

Zhou Leping heaved a sigh of relief, but Lin Jing could not believe what he had just heard.

He Shibi advised, ”Master, the evidence is conclusive, even Empress recognized him, and it is indeed Lin Chang Zai who did it. ”The Emperor is angry, so you should return. Tomorrow morning, the Emperor will discuss how to resolve this matter.”

This outcome was a good thing for Zhou Leping. She knew that Zhou Lean would not be able to do this kind of thing, and it was fortunate that Zhao Shiqian was fair and square.

When Zhou Leping returned to the General's Estate, it was already late at night and he was still waiting for news of her. As a result, he had not slept at all, and even coughed late into the night. Zhou Leping called Zhu Guanliang over to help him feel the pulse, and sighed emotionally, ”I really did not expect that it would actually be his own family members who harmed his own.

Zhou Leqi coughed twice, ”president of the Supreme Court's family will die on the guillotine, I wonder if Lin Jing will regret sending Lin Xiafu to the palace back then.”

”Today, as soon as I entered the palace, he grabbed my collar and interrogated me, saying that he deserved it. Not only did he dominate the imperial court, he even wanted to turn the harem into his family. Did he really think that the Emperor was a three-year-old child so easily controlled?”

A thought suddenly popped out in Zhou Leqi's mind, ”Could it be the Emperor …”

Zhou Leping interrupted him, ”It doesn't matter, as long as Le An is fine.”

The two of them shut their mouths in tacit understanding. The emperor was already dead for sure, what was the point in guessing whether or not it was true or false?

Coming out from Zhou Leqi's place, Zhou Leping thought about what the emperor had told her today and unconsciously started to size Zhu Guanliang up.

Zhu Guanliang saw that she was staring at him and asked curiously, ”Is there something wrong with my face?

”I entered the palace today. The Emperor told me about you.”

”Say what?”

”The Emperor said you were special to me.” She clicked her tongue. ”But no matter how I look at it, I don't see anything special about you.”

Zhu Guanliang raised an eyebrow. ”How did the emperor figure it out?”

”How would I know?”

”The way I see it, the Emperor isn't ordinary to the general.”

”And how did you see that?”
