Chapter 139 Calculation
The emperor admitted that his plan had gone wrong. The princess was dumbfounded and could not believe it. The emperor was also confused when he saw the woman hit the tripod. He could not believe that it was a trick within a trick. The blood on the ground seemed to be mocking his self-willedness. The emperor did not know why such a big fuss had been made. He was originally in an advantageous position. Once the woman died, he was completely passive and the situation was completely out of control.

It is impossible for the Jinyiwei to silence the people in the world!

The eldest princess was so furious at his stupidity. She couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking that he would create so much trouble for her.

"Have you discussed this with Xilin Yongxuan?"

The emperor pursed his lips. It couldn't be said to be a pre-planned agreement, but it could only be said to be a tacit understanding.

The princess was furious. "The emperor's uncle and I are blood relatives. He wants to overturn the case of the King of Huainan, but we are his flesh and blood. If we persuade him with emotion, he will be persuaded. The war has subsided, and the relationship between civil officials and military generals is already tense. What you are doing is exacerbating their conflicts. The court is bloody and it is not a good thing for the country and the people. Why are you doing this?"

"Once the war is over, the generals will overturn the case against the King of Huainan. I will be in a desperate situation. Now, Prime Minister Lu and the civil officials are blocking them. What does their internal fighting have to do with me? Prime Minister Lu does not want them to continue to entangle in the old case of Huainan. Sister, do you want me to be forced by my uncle to issue an edict of guilt, so that the people of the world will think that I am guilty, and that I deliberately framed the King of Huainan for treason and made me lose the support of the people?"

"Now that the bloodline of the Huainan King has been killed in the Yangxin Palace, you have also lost the support of the people. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are demanding the truth, and the army is demoralized. You made one wrong move after another, and there is no room for redemption." Although the princess was angry, she barely controlled her emotions, "Who knew that you planned this?"

"Prime Minister Lu, Xilin Yongxuan, Jinyiwei..." The emperor frowned. He also wanted to know why that woman rebelled and why she crashed into the Yangxin Palace. It was obviously the Prince of Huainan's people. "Royal sister, could it be that that person had already rebelled and the uncle had already instigated her to rebel?"

"No!" The princess frowned. She was outside the situation and had been paying attention to every move in the court. Xiaowu was also there, but he obviously didn't know about it. She felt sad because the emperor's uncle had nothing to do with it. The princess just wanted to know who was behind this and made them fall into the quagmire. "Tell me the whole story in detail."

The emperor did not hide it from the princess. When investigating the remnants of the King of Huainan, the Jinyiwei found a suspicious clue. One of the Jinyiwei who was ordered to go to Huainan resigned after returning to Beijing and returned to his hometown with his wife and children to enjoy his old age.

However, when Lu Jing started to investigate the remnants of Huainan, his family of six was burned to death. The villagers said it was an accident due to the dry weather, but Lu Jing did not think it was an accident.

In addition, many Jinyiwei died one after another. They were all people who had gone to Huainan to handle cases and had the blood of the Huainan royal family on their hands. Lu Jing invited all the Jinyiwei who had been to the Huainan Palace back to the yamen and interrogated them separately, and obtained a message.

At that time, the young princess Su Qingwan of the King of Huainan escaped by chance and was not found. Liu Jiang was afraid that the emperor would investigate, so he took a child of the same clan and the same age to impersonate her.

When Lu Jing reported to the emperor, the emperor guessed that Su Qingwan was still alive, and the woman who filed the complaint was a secret agent of the Imperial Guard, who was sent to lurk in the Xilin Palace in order to steal the letters between Prime Minister Lu and the King of Xilin.

The correspondence was between Prime Minister Lu and Prince Xilin, and the letters all had special marks of the Lu family. The woman had retired long ago. When the Xilin delegation and the Prince of Southwest went to the capital together, the Imperial Guards found out that Xilin Yongxuan had had a secret conversation with the Prince of Southwest and told him the truth about the old case in Huainan. The emperor had guessed that the Prince of Southwest would definitely want to overturn the case for the Prince of Huainan, so he took the initiative and directed and acted out the plot himself, hoping to cut off the Prince of Southwest's retreat.

The eldest princess knew the truth about the Huainan case two years ago.

The emperor had just ascended the throne and had no real power. It was the civil service group that took risky moves and the emperor was also very passive. However, the emperor acquiesced to the destruction of the Huainan King's lineage and was even happy about it. He had always resented the Huainan King for not wanting to send troops to help them seize the throne, and he suspected that the Huainan King wanted to support the Southwest King to ascend the throne, so the emperor acquiesced to the civil service group and used them as a knife.

After understanding the whole story, the princess smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, if my sister also wants to overturn the case of King Huainan, are you going to plot against her as well?"
