The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 194: Dispute in the Court
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Rong Zhen patted her head and said happily, "Good girl."

Yun Wei: "..."

Does this guy think she's a child?
……

The next day, in the court.

As the court was about to adjourn after discussing state affairs, an official suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to impeach the Regent for protecting and indulging his fiancée, treating human life as worthless."

Upon hearing this, the assembled officials stared at the official in astonishment.

The man was not an official of the Censorate, but the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He usually kept a very low profile, but no one expected that he would impeach the Regent in front of the entire court.

The fact that the Regent's fiancée, Princess Rong'an, committed murder was a well-known story throughout the capital. However, the government later clarified that Princess Rong'an was not the one who killed the person.

Why would Feng Shaoqing bring up this matter to impeach the Regent?
Everyone glanced discreetly at the emperor on his throne, each knowing the unspoken message.

Rong Zhen also glanced at that person indifferently.

The Censorate was indeed drafting a memorial yesterday, preparing to impeach him, but he had summoned him beforehand and made arrangements to suppress the matter. He never expected that this Vice Minister Feng would jump out.

He glanced at the emperor and sneered inwardly.

“Feng Shaoqing, isn’t your information too outdated? The murderer is not Princess Rong’an; she was framed,” Liu Qian retorted.

Upon hearing this, Feng Shaoqing sneered, "Lord Liu's words may fool those ignorant people, but to dare to spout nonsense and protect the murderer in front of the Emperor is simply lawless."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian sneered, "I think you're the one spouting nonsense! I have the coroner's autopsy results here. Lord Feng, if you want to smear the Regent and Princess Rong'an, you should take a look at this autopsy report before deciding whether to continue framing Princess Rong'an." With that, he threw an autopsy report at him.

After reading it, Feng Shaoqing scoffed, "What does this prove?"

"The deceased died outside the city at 9:45 PM the night before last. At that time, Princess Rong'an was already sleeping in the county palace. The generals guarding the city can all testify that she entered the city at 5:00 PM and never left again. I would like to ask Feng Shaoqing, how did the county princess kill the deceased outside the city while she was in the city?" Liu Qian asked coldly.

“Everyone knows that Princess Rong’an is highly skilled in martial arts. It’s not impossible for her to bypass the guards and leave the city. Besides, you say she was already sleeping in the princess’s mansion at that time. Who can prove that?” Feng Shaoqing retorted sharply.

"At the end of the 7 PM, Princess Rong'an was still drinking tea at the Regent's Palace. How could she have gone out of the city to kill someone in such a short time?" Liu Qian asked rhetorically.

Upon hearing this, Feng Shaoqing chuckled and said, "The Regent is the fiancé of Princess Rong'an. If the Regent wants to protect Princess Rong'an, he will naturally testify for her."

"You're talking nonsense!" Even Liu Qian, a man of such refined manners, couldn't help but curse when he heard this. "Feng Minghui, you're saying such treasonous and baseless things. Could it be that you're being instructed by someone to try every means to smear the Regent?"
Princess Rong'an did not commit murder, and this blood-stained handkerchief is sufficient proof of that, because it was found on the deceased's body. When it was found, the handkerchief was wrapped in oiled paper and there was no trace of moisture.

"What dying person would have the strength to find oiled paper to wrap a blood-stained handkerchief? You are the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, you should have this much judgment, right? If not, please let the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review make a judgment." After saying this, he took the blood-stained handkerchief out of his sleeve and handed it to Lou Chao'an, who was standing to the side.

Lou Chaoan took it, unfolded it, and examined it carefully.

“That Miss Yun was once Lord Lou’s wife. Lord Lou should be able to recognize her handwriting,” Liu Qian said. Lou Chao’an frowned after examining the blood-stained handkerchief. “This is not Yun Yao’s handwriting. In addition, the deceased was pulled out of the moat. Normally, the writing on this handkerchief would have faded after being soaked in water, but the writing on this handkerchief is clear and not blurry. This is obviously abnormal.”

Feng Minghui frowned. "Sir, we don't know if this blood-stained handkerchief was found on the deceased. It might just be Liu Qian's side of the story."

Liu Qian sneered, "According to you, the cases you handled were probably just your side of the story, completely unjust."

"Liu Qian, don't change the subject. We're talking about the Rong'an County Princess's murder today," Feng Minghui said angrily.

"Feng Shaoqing, you're already in a hurry? Do you know that the two people who died were not Miss Yun San and her maid? They didn't die at all. Instead, they colluded with the real culprit, framed the Princess Rong'an, and then fled." Liu Qian said, word by word. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Marquis Pingning. The human skin masks that were peeled off the faces of those two dead people yesterday are still here with me."

The crowd was in an uproar.

It wasn't Miss Yun and her maid who died?

What is going on here?

Everyone looked at Yun Yueshan and asked, "Lord Pingning, what exactly happened? Your third young lady and her maid are not dead? Is the deceased someone else?"

Yun Yueshan frowned. "Yesterday, we did peel off the human skin masks from the faces of the two dead. The people under the masks were not my daughter and her maid. But as for whether my daughter is still alive or where she is, I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian's expression turned cold.

Even at this point, that old scoundrel Yun Yueshan is still protecting his adopted daughter.

Does he realize that by saying this, he will still make people doubt Princess Rong'an?
Sure enough, Feng Minghui immediately grasped the meaning behind Yun Yueshan's words, "Liu Qian, did you hear that? Marquis Pingning said that the two dead were indeed not his daughter and maid. This means that his daughter and that maid were probably still murdered. The biggest suspect is Princess Rong'an, after all, it was Princess Rong'an who abducted Miss Yun and her maid at the foot of Putuo Temple that day."

"Did you eat shit? Your mouth stinks! Who told you that it was Princess Rong'an who kidnapped Miss Yun and her maid? Did you see it with your own eyes? Besides, weren't you just talking about the two female corpses pulled from the moat? Now it's been proven that Princess Rong'an didn't kill them, and you're changing the subject and bringing up other things. It makes me suspect that you have ulterior motives, so you're trying to find a crime to pin on Princess Rong'an!" Liu Qian was so angry that he cursed wildly.

If it weren't for the inconvenient location, he would definitely have given Feng Minghui a good beating.

"Minister Liu, this is the imperial court, you cannot be so presumptuous!" At this moment, Rong Xin, who had not spoken until now, suddenly rebuked him in a deep voice.

Liu Qian shut his mouth.

Rong Xin looked at Rong Zhen and said with some difficulty, "Uncle, what do you think of this matter? Although the two people who died were not Miss Yun San and her servant, they were still two living people. They cannot be killed at will just because of their lowly status."

Moreover, yesterday's incident caused a great uproar, known throughout the city, with the people condemning the Rong'an County Lord. Without credible evidence proving that the person wasn't killed by the Rong'an County Lord, it will be difficult to convince the public.

"Does Your Majesty not understand? Regardless of who those two people were, they were not killed by Princess Rong'an. Someone deliberately framed her. Lord Liu has already presented strong evidence to prove this. As for the people's protests, they were quelled yesterday after the government clarified things for Princess Rong'an."

Is the Emperor truly unaware, or is he pretending not to hear?
