Chapter 276 Self-destruction without attack
The Third Prince pretended to be calm and said, "Perhaps you forged this letter."
As he said this, his voice trembled slightly, but he still tried to maintain the dignity of a royal family.
Imperial Preceptor Xiao also echoed, "Princess, words alone are not enough. We need to verify the authenticity of this letter."
There was a hint of caution in his eyes. After all, the affairs of the court concerned the safety of the country and could not be easily concluded.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the prime minister, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up: "This matter can be put aside for now. The most urgent task is to stabilize the government."
The Prime Minister's voice was steady and powerful, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Regardless of whether this letter is true or false, the most important thing at the moment is to maintain the stability of the court and avoid greater turmoil caused by this letter.
Otherwise, people will be in panic and Qi Zhou Kingdom will collapse without a fight.
At this time, Master Xiao discovered a sneaky figure in the crowd.
The figure moved among the crowd, sometimes lowering his head, sometimes looking around, looking extremely suspicious.
Master Xiao had an idea and immediately gave a wink to the guard.
The guard understood and followed quietly, his steps light and quick, trying not to attract other people's attention.
Meanwhile, the dispute in the court continues.
Princess Jiahe and the third prince each insisted on their own opinion and refused to give in to either side.
Princess Jiahe looked angry and defended herself fiercely, insisting that the letter in her hand was real.
The third prince frowned and argued, trying to prove that the letter was false.
The quarrel between the two echoed in the court, and the atmosphere was tense, as if a storm was about to come.
The other ministers fell into deep thought, some shook their heads secretly, some whispered to each other, and the entire hall fell into chaos.
After a while, the guards came back with the sneaky figure.
This person was an official arranged by Princess Jiahe to frame the third prince.
The official was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees, trembling and saying, "It was...it was the Third Prince who ordered me to disrupt the situation and destroy the evidence."
The Third Prince's face turned pale as paper in an instant, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, soaking his collar.
His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly reached out to hold on to the pillar beside him and was able to stand firmly.
This reaction makes people feel something is wrong! !
"This prince doesn't even know him!!" The third prince's voice, trembling and panicked, echoed in the court.
He now understood that this was Princess Jiahe's conspiracy, and there was no such thing as a real or fake envelope.
It's clearly an opportunity to attract attention; this official is the focus! !
A feeling of anger and helplessness surged in the heart of the third prince. He never expected that he would fall into such a trap.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the exertion.
Master Xiao widened his eyes, looked at the official in disbelief, then looked at the Third Prince, thinking in his heart that something was wrong.
There was a hint of worry and doubt in his eyes; things were far from as simple as they seemed.
He began to realize that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were gleaming with thought.
Princess Jiahe sneered, "Third brother, just because you say you don't know him, you don't know him? He admitted it himself, what else do you have to say?"
Her voice was full of pride and sarcasm, and her eyes flashed with a cunning light.
