”We also believe in the character of the Prime Minister Wei, but, since the assassin said so earlier, unless there is evidence, we have to investigate thoroughly for the sake of the Northern Kingdom!”

Wei Qing, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward and knelt down, ”Your Majesty, you did not believe that my father was a spy from the Xie Jing, who had sold the nation for glory, and had moved the Wife greatly! The Wife, in place of my father and brother, thanks the Emperor for his trust! ”

These words sounded normal and ordinary, but everyone could hear that Wei Qing was using Wei Jingnan to remind Old Emperor, ”Remember not to slander Prime Minister Wei, otherwise, Wei Jingnan will have military power!”

When Xiao Qingqian, who was following closely behind him heard these words, his face slightly changed.

The Wei Qing who never had any real ability could actually say such shocking words, it was truly unexpected!

What made him even more shocked was that Wei Qing actually had the guts to challenge her royal father!

The gaze that was fixated on Wei Qing became deeper and deeper, just in time for Wei Qing to feel his gaze, to turn his head.

Their gazes collided in the air, and the light in each other's eyes flickered a few times before they both simultaneously shifted their gazes away.

Old Emperor's expression became solemn and he said: ”Wei Qing, we have already said that we will not casually slander a person who is seeking honor for the Northern Kingdom. We will also not let off anyone who is trying to rob the country!”

Wei Qing bowed respectfully and kowtowed three times to the Old Emperor, ”Wife will be bold to ask, even if the so-called evidence I found proves that my father is a traitor, will the Emperor not kill him out of anger?”

Old Emperor's forehead was twisted into a knot. Even if it was his two sons, they wouldn't have the guts to question him like that!

However, even though he had just calmed down, he still did not believe that the Prime Minister Wei would do such a thing!

”I won't!”

These three words resounded throughout the land!

Only now did he realize that his palms were covered with sticky sweat.

As long as the emperor didn't go on a rampage and directly made a decision without even investigating, she would still have the opportunity to help her father turn the tables!

”Father, this was found by me in the chair compartment of Prime Minister Wei's study.” Xiao Hanqi handed over a few letters.

Old Emperor ordered the eunuchs beside him to bring it over. After looking at it, their expressions became heavier and heavier.

The court officials all felt that it would be difficult for the Prime Minister Wei to turn over this time.

Wei Qing also observed Old Emperor's expression without blinking, as he thought to himself that this person from Xie Jing was truly thoughtful!

Xiao Hanqi glanced at Xiao Qingqian from the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised craftily.

The evidence was conclusive. No matter how capable Wei Qing was, she would not be able to turn the tables around!

Just when he was secretly happy, unexpectedly, Old Emperor was glaring at Xiao Hanqi fiercely, ”Crown Prince, explain to us, what exactly is going on!?”

Xiao Hanqi was startled, he strode forward and bent down to pick up one of the letters.

Quickly scanning through it, his face changed several times.

A letter was thrown in front of Wei Qing, and she was coincidentally kneeling, so upon seeing it, she quickly picked it up.

After reading it, her expression became exceptionally unsightly.

These were proof of corruption on the part of some ministers, but why would her father hide these items in his own chair?

Xiao Hanqi's forehead was covered with sweat, these court officials were all his trusted aides, how did Prime Minister Wei get the evidence?
