Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

With legitimate reasons, based on facts, fairness and justice!

The civil servants and military generals secretly admired such a patriotic and people-oriented spirit. She truly deserves to be the Eldest Princess of Great Liang!

Prince Jin's mouth twitched violently: "Even if their interrogation was too hasty, Aunt, there's no reason to kill your own nephew!"

The Eldest Princess fully released her aura: "I must correct you. Their actions were not just hasty; it was a blatant violation of the law!"

Prince Jin clenched his fists.

The Eldest Princess took a few steps forward and stood in front of Prince Jin: "Moreover, the one who killed Prince Rui was King Qi. I merely wanted them to reveal who the mastermind was. As they shifted blame between each other, King Qi, in a fit of rage, killed Prince Rui with a sword."

"I have heard that King Qi, spoiled by you, his elder brother, acts with impunity and often disregards other brothers except you. I didn't believe it before, thinking it was an exaggeration. But witnessing it today, I am truly disappointed!"

"An elder brother is like a father; for a younger brother to commit such an abominable act, you cannot escape responsibility!"

Her words were eloquent and impeccable, each word aimed at the heart.

Prince Jin was infuriated.

He gritted his teeth: "Aunt, this is your one-sided story; I want to see King Qi!"

The Eldest Princess said confidently: "He fled to escape punishment."

Prince Rui looked into the Eldest Princess's cold and disdainful eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind: She's lying!

"Aunt says Fourth Brother fled to escape punishment. Where is the evidence?"

The Eldest Princess pointed to the Chief Clerk and several officials behind her, bringing them to the Ministry of Justice: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Everyone nodded.

They heard Prince Rui say outside the cell, "Fourth Brother, how dare you kill me!"

"No, Third Brother... it's not... I..."

"Arrest him for me!"

After the voices of King Qi and the Eldest Princess, they immediately saw King Qi fleeing the cell with a bloody long sword in hand.

Prince Jin knew his two brothers best; King Qi was jealous and indeed looked down on any brothers except him.

But he would never accidentally kill Prince Rui!

Prince Rui would never shift blame with him!

All of this was false from the start!

Prince Jin, eyes wide, said: "I want to see King Qi! I want to hear him personally say he killed Prince Rui! Otherwise, it's not valid!"

The Eldest Princess sneered: "Good nephew, when the Miao King and your Imperial Brother disappeared together, you didn't say this. According to your words, I should also see the Miao King and confront him personally to determine whether it was he who abducted your Imperial Brother."

Using your spear against your shield.

Is it that your spear is invincible, or your shield indestructible?

Prince Jin was choked into silence.

But if one thinks that's all there is, it's too naive.

The Eldest Princess asked seemingly absentmindedly: "Ah, good nephew, do you think someone imprisoned the Emperor but deliberately framed the Miao King?"

Prince Jin's face changed, cold sweat broke out on his back.

He said with a forced smile: "Aunt really loves to joke."

The Eldest Princess laughed: "So you know I'm joking, then why... did your expression change?"

Prince Jin ignored her retort, remaining expressionless as he returned to the main topic: "If the Miao King was framed, why didn't he show up to prove his innocence, instead of hiding like a turtle?"

These words were both a question and a probe.

If the Eldest Princess mentioned that perhaps the Miao King was also captured, Prince Jin could almost be certain that the secret of the underground palace had been leaked.

The Eldest Princess gave him a deep look and laughed mockingly: "Even the Crown Prince was coerced into confessing, let alone the Miao King in such a tense situation? If the Miao King shows up, is he just waiting to be killed by you all? Good nephew, have you been Regent for so long that you've lost touch with basic humanity?"

In the second encounter between Prince Jin and the Eldest Princess, he once again fell to the disadvantage.

In just half a day.

The prestige he painstakingly established was half destroyed by the Eldest Princess.

"I'm going into the palace to visit my sister-in-law now. Good nephew, make way, please."

The Eldest Princess said with sheer authority, walking past Prince Jin without looking sideways.

As they brushed past each other, Prince Jin coldly asked: "Who are you really!"

The Eldest Princess stopped, her mouth curving slightly, and said indifferently: "I'm your own aunt."

She, like a phoenix spreading its wings, majestically entered the Imperial Palace.

The eunuch behind her announced loudly: "The Eldest Princess returns to the palace—"
