Chapter 417 The Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, Its Fate Has Ended!
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yunhe tensed up, feeling a sense of crisis he had never experienced before.

It's over, everything is over.

Lin Shi'an was startled, and his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yan Yu smiled slightly and looked slowly toward the door.

Jiang Liuyun froze, then slowly turned around following Yan Yu's gaze.

Lin Zhiqing, dressed in a blue robe with slightly disheveled hair, stood outside the door.

There were some bloodstains on her skirt, which should have been a flaw, but instead added a touch of brilliance to her slightly pale face.

She walked to Dali Temple over countless corpses.

As she moved forward, Lu Huai raised his eyes, his gaze extremely cold, contrasting sharply with the bloodstains on his white robes.

If one did not know the inside story, one might think that these two were Yama, the King of Hell, who had come to claim one's life.

Lin Zhiqing moved gracefully to the center of the hall, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She looked at Jiang Yunhe, her lips slightly parted:
"I've returned alive, but I've disappointed the Marquis."

Jiang Yunhe stood motionless, but his hands trembled slightly.

why?
Lin Zhiqing should have died long ago, so why is she still alive?

Jiang Liuyun, standing to the side, stared intently at Lin Zhiqing.

He thought that if Lin Zhiqing spoke to him, he would definitely ask why Lin Zhiqing could tolerate lying to him like this.

Even if you lied to him, don't you feel any remorse at all?

But Lin Zhiqing didn't even glance at him.

After speaking with Jiang Yunhe, Lin Zhiqing turned to Zhou Chongzheng and said loudly:

"My lord, I had no choice but to arrive at the Dali Temple immediately today."

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Prince of Jiang were guilty of their crimes, so they lured me to Qiwu Mountain and pushed me off a cliff. That's why they were so sure I couldn't come."

"Lord Lu from the Ministry of Revenue is a witness. He saved me, fell off the cliff with me, and was also ambushed by the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion."

Her words were crystal clear, repeatedly accusing the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion and Jiang Yunhe.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Huai stepped forward, standing between Yan Yu and Lin Zhiqing, and said:

“I can testify to this. After Miss Lin and I fell off the cliff, we were chased by men sent by the Marquis of Zhenyuan. We stumbled and fell our way back to this place.”

"I implore you, sir, to make this decision."

"We implore Your Honor to make this decision!" the Lin family members chimed in.

"No, that's not how it is," Jiang Liuyun said, pointing at Lin Zhiqing. "She jumped down herself!"

"She set a trap for all of us, and we fell into it. It was clearly her own doing that she jumped down!"

As they spoke, he also noticed the jade flute hanging from Lin Zhiqing's waist.

His body stiffened, and almost instinctively he reached for his waist.

But it was empty.

He suddenly realized that he had been trapped in the illusion from the very beginning.

He looked at Lin Zhiqing, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"Qing'er, you lied to me! You lied to me, you're dead!"

"Young Master Jiang, please don't slander me. I narrowly escaped death and almost didn't make it back." Lin Zhiqing said indifferently.

"Everything I've been through is thanks to you, and now you have the audacity to question me."

These words were utterly merciless, yet no one condemned Lin Zhiqing.

Anyone could see that Jiang Yunhe's framing of Lin Congrong and his arrangement for Jiang Liuyun to get close to Lin Zhiqing were clearly motivated by impure motives.

As the aggrieved party, Lin Zhiqing suffered injustice.

Jiang Liuyun's lips moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a word.

No wonder, no wonder everything went so smoothly.

He truly hated Lu Huai, and hated that Lu Huai had won Lin Zhiqing's heart.

That's why he was able to easily kill Lu Huai in the dream.

So, this is what makes that dream so unique?

Everything in the dream unfolded according to Jiang Liuyun's inner desires.

Apart from Lin Zhiqing.

Jiang Liuyun fell into the perfect dream twice, but Lin Zhiqing was nowhere to be found. Jiang Liuyun was heartbroken beyond measure.

But Lin Zhiqing didn't even glance at him; instead, she stared intently at Zhou Chongzheng.

At this moment, Zhou Chongzheng is facing the most difficult decision.

He never expected things to develop to this point.

Yan Yu, who was supposed to have disappeared, inexplicably returned.

Lin Zhiqing, who was supposed to be dead, inexplicably returned.

Jiang Liuyun inexplicably revealed everything that the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion had done.

Nothing could keep people's attention from the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence.

The Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion has run out of luck this time!

Zhou Chongzheng's chest rose and fell slightly.

His recent moves have been quite bold; the people in the court are all cunning old foxes.

After this battle, his relationship with the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion was now out in the open.

What would he do if the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion fell?

Zhou Chongzheng hesitated to make a decision.

However, this incident had no impact on Wang Yuan and the Minister of Justice.

According to the trial procedure of the three judicial departments, the three officials should now jointly discuss and determine the crimes of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and impose the corresponding punishment.

But this matter is particularly complicated.

It is a certainty that Marquis Jiang Yunhe of Zhenyuan framed Lin Congrong, but the process in between is missing.

The group only confirmed the murderer from Jiang Liuyun's words, but there was no supporting evidence.

It's important to understand that setting a trap for Lin Congrong on your own and colluding with an enemy country to frame Lin Congrong are two completely different things.

Therefore, this case is very difficult to judge.

Zhou Chongzheng's throat moved, and finally a sound came out:
"Although the matter is clear, we still need to discuss it further before making a decision..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps came from outside, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes.

At this point, who else would come?

As she pondered, Jiang Yunhe, standing beside her, slightly stretched his neck, raised the corners of his eyes, and dilated his pupils.

This is an action that only occurs when there is anticipation.

Lin Zhiqing noticed this and couldn't help but think about it more.

Jiang Yunhe is in a dead end. What is he hoping for? Is he hoping someone will come to save him?
Could it be that he has allies?

The thought flashed through my mind quickly, because the people outside soon came in.

Unfortunately, it was an old acquaintance.

Lin Zhiqing raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Lu Huai beside her.

The royal family's information network is far too extensive.

The crimes of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's family were only made public, and Lin Zhiqing had just arrived at the Dali Temple when Eunuch Wang arrived.

When Jiang Yunhe saw that the person who came was Eunuch Wang, his heart trembled and his brows furrowed.

Lin Zhiqing noticed this and raised an eyebrow.

The last time she saw Eunuch Wang was when Lin Congyan had his accident.

At that time, Zhou Chongzheng and Eunuch Wang were ordered to arrest Lin Congyan and confiscate the Lin family's property.

Lin Zhiqing didn't have much affection for this eunuch, Wang.

Those who serve before the emperor are impeccable in their words and deeds.

His arrival means something big is about to happen.

Lin Zhiqing lowered her brows and did not observe any further.

The three officials at the head of the table, upon seeing Eunuch Wang, simultaneously straightened their robes and emerged from behind the table.

Eunuch Wang's gaze swept over everyone before he slowly took out a bright yellow dish:
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
