Chapter 38
A good celebration banquet cannot be disturbed!

The emperor's eldest grandson Lue originally wanted to hand over the case to Dali Temple for retrial, but King Gui kept urging him to try it himself.

Forced to helplessness, Changsun Lue had no choice but to leave the empress Shen's banquet for the officials, and pass the relevant people to the Qinzheng Palace for trial alone.

The forbidden army quickly moved everything in the secret room of Shangguanyuan's small private house, even the words carved on the wall were rubbed down with white cloth.

There were so many terrifying "kill" words, the expressions of the crowd changed.

However, when Qianru and Mrs. Liu of Shangguan confronted each other in front of the imperial court, Mrs. Liu of Shangguan said that this was just an excuse for her to beat the mandarin ducks.

"An Qianru is an abandoned woman, but she is willing to fall into the Goulan. She is not worthy of my Yuan'er. The old woman doesn't want her to pester Yuan'er anymore, so she has no choice but to make up a lie. If she is sincere to Yuan'er Yes, she won't wait for him to come back to confront her, it's simply that she is greedy for the old woman's 1000 taels, obsessed with money, ruthless and ungrateful!"

"How do you explain the word '安' on the altar?"

Shangguan Liu excitedly said: "That's An Xingdao's An, and the tablets are engraved with the soldiers who died in vain in the battle of Gucheng! The old woman asked many times, but the late emperor was unwilling to thoroughly investigate the truth about the battle of Gucheng. Yuan'er Carrying blood and deep hatred, there is nowhere to vent."

"You are lying, if An Xingdao is really Shangguanyuan's father-killer and enemy, why does he still ask to marry An Xingdao's daughter?"

Gui Wang's eldest grandson said gloatingly: "Ah, I remember that the daughter of the sinful Marquis An Xingdao is also called An Qianru. Shangguan Yuan, you will not do anything wrong to fall in love with a woman with the same name and surname, right?"

Hu Yong cut off the conversation, "Your Majesty, Yichen thinks that this case is probably a misunderstanding, and there is no need to continue the trial."

King Gui was not happy, "An Tai died in Gui County, which is the fiefdom of this king. There are rumors that this king was afraid that he would find out something in Gui County, so he sent someone to kill him. It happened that this woman sued the royal court Therefore, I took this opportunity to ask the emperor to retry the case, and give me justice."

King Gui's words and deeds are really unexpected.

Regardless of whether he has other means or not, Qianru feels much happier to be able to thoroughly investigate the case again.

It's just that Qianru didn't expect that Shangguanyuan was extremely persistent in giving the marriage, even disobeying his mother.

"Shangguanyuan, all goodness and filial piety come first, don't you regret it?"

"The general's oath to An Yushi comes first, and his mother beats the mandarin ducks after him. The general should abide by the oath and take care of Qianru for the rest of his life."

"I don't want you to take care of me. I can support myself."

"After you are Zhongliang, are you just willing to degenerate and wander around in Goulan? You don't think about yourself, don't you think about your brother Zhixuan?"

Hu Yong also came to persuade her, but Shangguan Liu kept using the 1000 taels to ridicule her for being mercenary, heartless and ungrateful.

She had a lot of suffering, and was driven to the extreme for a moment, and pulled out the hairpin on her head and wanted to commit suicide, but seeing Shangguan Liu's smug and hateful face, she was unwilling to die like this.

So, she closed her eyes, endured and endured, and with tears in her eyes, she gave the hairpin to Shangguan Yuan as a token of love.

"If you make me a concubine, I will die in front of you immediately."

When Shangguan Liu saw his son nodding, he also pulled out his hairpin and committed suicide.

Changsun Ji was overjoyed when he saw this, "Shangguan Yuan, you shouldn't hate An Xingdao, you should hate your mother. Look at her overbearing and unreasonable appearance, which man can bear it?"

"Shut up! This is a family matter of my Shangguan family."

"But you turned it into a state matter." Changsun Ji straightened his sleeves, walked up to Shangguan Yuan, and jokingly said, "The reason why the late emperor didn't thoroughly investigate the case of Gu Cheng was to protect the face of your Shangguan family."

"Since it was something the late emperor deliberately concealed, it's better for the uncle not to continue talking about it."

"I didn't want to say it at first, but An Xingdao has already died. God knows when it will be my king's turn to suffer?"

"An Xingdao is suspected of rebelling against the law."

However, the emperor's emphasis did not stop King Gui.

He exposed the scandal of the Shangguan family without hesitation.

"Shangguan Bo couldn't bear the arrogance of his wife Liu Shi. He had another woman outside and gave birth to an heir. This matter has been hidden from Liu Shi for more than ten years. After the Dongchuang incident, Shangguan Bo's outer room was inexplicably killed. The couple parted ways for a while.

When Shangguan Bo was defending Gucheng, I was also besieged by the enemy.At that time, Mrs. Liu was the female general who was guarding the east of Gucheng. The king sent people to deliver letters three times, asking her to send troops to reinforce first, but Mrs. Liu remained on hold.

When the king broke through and arrived, Shangguan Bo had already died in battle. "

"Nonsense, I have never received a letter from you. You have always been at odds with your husband. How do you know that you deliberately forged facts in order to eradicate dissidents and delay reinforcements? Moreover, An Xingdao and my husband broke through at the same time. Why did you come first?" Husband was surrounded, but he went smoothly?"

"Afterwards, the king handed over all the evidence and witnesses to the late emperor. The late emperor was merciful, and he did not expose you for the sake of Shangguan Bo's illustrious military exploits. But you deceived yourself and kept writing letters for the late emperor to investigate thoroughly."

"Nonsense! It's not like that at all."

"From the day An Xingdao died, I knew that sooner or later, your Shangguan family would also come to me. As expected, the time at the Haitang Pavilion, this king suffered a great disaster."

The eldest grandson was prepared very early, not only found the physical evidence of the letter from the palace, but also found the person who sent the letter, and found the heirs of those who had passed away.

Those few sent letters to Shangguan Liu for him, and some sent letters for Shangguan Bo to him.

Among the physical evidence found in the palace were several confessions, with the signatures of relevant people on them.

Shangguan Bo is a meticulous person. In order to prevent the death of witnesses, he will not be able to argue in the future, so he even recorded a few more confessions 20 years ago for comparison.

The emperor sent officials from Dali Temple to verify.

After repeated confirmations, the officials of Dali Temple determined that it was completely consistent.

"According to the words of the prince, there is also grievance in the death of Hou An Xingdao?"

Qianru asked tentatively, but she burst into tears.

"Miss An be careful." Hu Yongdao, "An Xingdao was exterminated because of his son An Jingheng stealing the imperial tomb. This case is under the supervision of King Luo, and the evidence is solid!"

"He is a good son of the Marquis. He has no shortage of food and clothing. Why dig the imperial tomb?"

"In order to save his sister with a box of panacea that was buried with the Empress Dowager, in the end, the whole family was harmed instead of being saved!"

"Since the blame is self-inflicted, why does the prince think that An Xingdao's death is related to the Shangguan family?"

King Gui said: "The Empress Dowager died suddenly in Fucheng. At that time, the army was in turmoil. It was the Shangguan Liu who changed the clothes for the Empress Dowager. She knew best what was buried with her."

"Slander! At that time, the old woman was not the only one who participated in the burial. Why did the old woman leak the news? Besides, since Yuan'erxiu abandoned An's family, our two families have become enemies. How could An Jingheng trust Shangguan's words? "

King Gui couldn't come up with any definite evidence, and the two argued for a while. Although it ended without a problem, it made everyone speculate about the hidden truth of the Anhou Mansion case.

All these developments are in line with Qianru's wishes, but whenever she sees Changsun Ji's wanton smile, she can't help feeling uneasy and panicked.
