Yuwen Jue looked at the empress dowager's pale face, and for the first time, he looked at Yuwen Fei with praise. Coughing lightly, he covered his lips and said: ”Fei'er has already passed on the evidence to marble temple. In a while, Wei Deliang will come over to report.

The fact that the emperor was able to speak up for Yuwen Fei caused Huai Jin to be a little surprised. With an inquiring look in her eyes, she looked at Yuwen Fei who was still kneeling on the ground.

Huai Jin was a little scared by his stare. Every time Chu Feng and the others had a bad idea, they would look at him like that.

Wei Deliang, dressed in his official's uniform, bowed and entered. Seeing that there were so many people inside, he could not help but be surprised, and anxiously went forward, bowing one by one.

The empress dowager was obviously more concerned about him than Yuwen Jue was. Before he finished bowing, she quickly asked, ”Wei Shaoqing, have you investigated thoroughly?”

”Reporting to the empress dowager, I've investigated thoroughly. Later on, this humble subject found the letter that colluded with others in Ji An's room. The servants also confirmed that he had indeed visited Su Geying's house many times before.” Saying that, Wei Deliang's face showed some hesitation.

The empress dowager didn't let a single expression on his face slip by as she hurried to ask, ”But what's wrong?”

Li Changde immediately walked up and helped Yuwen Jue get a better breath of air, then changed a cup of tea and helped him drink.

After drinking a cup of warm tea, Yuwen Jue's complexion looked much better.

”Is the Emperor sick?” the empress dowager asked with concern on her face.

Yuwen Jue waved his hand and explained: ”I think it's because I suffered a gust of wind last night when I was staying up late to give my memorials, so I'm fine.”

”Then we should at least let the imperial physician see it.” The empress dowager was concerned about Ping Yang's matters. Seeing that Yuwen Jue was alright, she relaxed a little, but her tone also carried a hint of impatience. She turned and scolded Li Changde, who was at the side.

”You guys have always served by the emperor's side, so you should warn him a little!”

Li Changde bowed his head in acknowledgement, and sent his men to get the imperial physician, while he himself remained docilely by the side.

”Wei Shaoqing, continue.” Yuwen Jue covered his lips and coughed softly, then he spoke while gasping for air, signalling Wei Deliang to continue.

Wei Deliang was after all, still one of the emperor's men, so he immediately understood the emperor's intentions. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he still cautiously opened his mouth and said, ”It's actually nothing much, this humble subject doesn't understand why Su Geying destroyed his own child.”

”Presumably, she was thinking to make Brother Qing He think that it was Princess Ping Yang who harmed the child in her womb, and from then on, felt guilty towards her. Yuwen Fei shook his head and sighed at the side.

Wei Deliang very cooperatively nodded and asked again, ”Is the letter Su Geying wrote to Prince Consort Ma at the Seventh Prince's place?”

Yuwen Fei nodded, and took out the letter Ruan Qinghe handed over to him, and handed it over to Wei Deliang.

Wei Deliang read through the letter again carefully, then handed it over to Yuwen Jue: ”Even though this woman did not directly state in the letter that Grand Princess Ping Yang was the one who harmed her, but the words he said clearly indicate that his child was beaten up by Grand Princess. This shows how sinister this woman's mind is.”
