Chapter 497 Evidence
Ji Zhaozhang didn't bother Zhao Zhen'er and Zhao's father and daughter to reminisce about the old days. After giving him about a cup of tea, he said to the two of them in a businesslike manner: "You two, it's time to start the trial now." ?”

In all fairness, Ji Zhaozhang did not embarrass their father and daughter much in this matter, Zhao Xiangye knew what was going on and nodded his head.

Ji Zhaozhang said: "Take Miss Zhao back first, and wait for the emperor to deal with it."

Zhao Xiangye suddenly realized that something was wrong. "Master Ji, what do you mean? You haven't even started to investigate, and you are going to send my daughter to the emperor to be convicted? Could it be that you really want to be tortured?"

"Master Zhao misunderstood." Ji Zhaozhang looked down at Master Zhao.

Zhao Xiangye is a Confucian scholar, with a thin body and not too tall. In addition, after being pampered and pampered these years, he has gradually gained some fat and slack, which makes him look much shorter than when he was young.

And Ji Zhaozhang was a young man, and he grew up in the western suburbs near the northwest, so he was naturally taller. Standing in front of Zhao Xiangye, he seemed to be quite a head shorter than Ji Zhaozhang.

"The evidence has been prepared very well, and it can be submitted to the emperor at any time." Ji Zhaozhang looked very calm.

But Zhao Xiangye can't do it anymore.

"Are you well prepared? What do you mean by that?" Zhao Xiangye asked hastily.

"That's the literal meaning." Sun Shilang interjected, looking more and more complacent. "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. If Ms. Zhao didn't make a mistake, she won't be found for anything. You, just wait with peace of mind."

Knowing that Sun Shilang would not be able to say anything nice, Zhao Xiangye didn't bother to look at him, so he turned to look at Ji Zhaozhang: "Master Ji, should you explain?"

"Actually, Mr. Sun has already said that it is almost inseparable. I have indeed found conclusive evidence. Therefore, there is really no need for Miss Zhao to stay in Jingshui Temple. Go directly to the emperor and solve the problem earlier. It's all over." After Ji Zhaozhang finished speaking, he smiled at Mr. Zhao, as if to comfort him.

However, Zhao Xiangye was not at ease at all.

What does it mean that conclusive evidence has been found?
Did he find evidence to prove that his daughter went down the mountain privately, or did he prove that...

Zhao Xiangye didn't dare to think deeply, and asked Zhao Zhen'er to ask.

Zhao Zhen'er was terrified by what Ji Zhaozhang and Sun Shilang said, and shook his head repeatedly. "Father, they said... that I killed someone, but I didn't! Father, save me!"

Master Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Originally, he still had a fluke mentality, but at this moment, all the luck was shattered.

Now that the matter has come to this point, what else can Xiangye Zhao not understand?

This is nothing more than a game deliberately aimed at his daughter and the Zhao family.

I'm afraid that the evidence of his daughter's murder has really been found by them!

Master Zhao took a deep breath.

Once this matter is exposed, not to mention Zhao Zhener's title of the future Seventh Prince Concubine will be overwhelmed, even the entire Zhao family will be in trouble!

Zhao Xiangye could only force his brain to run fast, but in the end, he had to recognize a reality.

——Now, he must be ready to abandon the daughter he has loved for many years at any time in order to preserve the entire Zhao family!

For a while, Zhao Xiangye was a little afraid to see his daughter.

As long as he thinks that his daughter is waiting for him to ask for help with all his heart at this moment, but in the end he is ruthlessly preparing to abandon this daughter, Xiangye Zhao's heart will be twisted like a knife.

"Really, you..." After debating whether it was his daughter or not, Mr. Zhao still chose to speak. "You have to take good care of yourself and restrain your temper." Perhaps in this way, there is still a chance to save your life when you are in front of the emperor.

Zhao Zhen'er still couldn't understand what his father meant when he said this.

Zhao Zhen'er was quickly brought back to the capital.

However, the emperor did not summon her immediately.

In the end, she was bearing the identity of the future Seventh Prince's Concubine, and she hadn't been convicted yet, so she was temporarily sent to the Clan Mansion, but the treatment was much better than other prisons.

And at this moment, Ji Xuanyu was not idle either.

Ji Xuanyu had long since found out that Zhao Zhen'er was not Mrs. Zhao's own birth, but he hadn't brought it up before, in order to use this secret to his advantage.

But now, it's on the blade!

Almost at the same time when Ji Zhaozhang, Mr. Wang, Sun Shilang, and Zhao Xiangye brought Zhao Zhener and others down the mountain, Ji Xuanyu had someone reveal the secret of Zhao Zhener's identity.

By the time the emperor remembered to pass through a group of people to enter the palace for interrogation, Zhao Zhen'er's identity had already been known to everyone.

Of course, except Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao.

This is often the case in this world. When a certain rumor spreads, it is often the protagonist of the story who finally knows about it.

The next morning, when the morning court was about to end, the emperor just mentioned Zhao Zhener's matter by the way.

Because Mrs. Zhao was involved in it, she was called into the palace by someone sent by the emperor not long after the morning court started.

By now, the Zhao family has understood that the primary question now is not whether Zhao Zhener went down the mountain quietly, but whether Zhao Zhener killed someone!
Zhao Zhen'er and Mrs. Zhao's family of three tried hard to defend themselves.

Zhao Zhen'er was taken to the clan's mansion yesterday. Mr. Zhao couldn't go in to visit him, so he could only rely on clearing up the relationship, writing down what he wanted to say on paper, and then entrusting someone with a lot of money to take him in and tell his daughter.

But even so, in the face of these sudden changes, Zhao Zhen'er couldn't plan for herself without flaws.

When Ji Zhaozhang brought the aunt who witnessed Zhao Zhener's murder to the Jinluan Hall, and took out the sachet that Zhao Zhener left at the scene, Zhao Zhener was surprised and speechless.

"Your Majesty, on the day of Jingzhi's death, not long after a light rain fell during the day, when Miss Zhao called Jingzhi out at night, the ground behind the mountain was still not dry. In the panic, Miss Zhao's sachet fell. When we got to the ground, there was a lot of muddy water."

"Present." The emperor squinted at the sachet in the aunt's hand.

Eunuch Wen walked down with an arched body, took the sachet over, took a look at himself, and then said in surprise: "Ah, Your Majesty, it is true, there is indeed a large piece of mud and water on it!"

With that said, he sent it to the emperor respectfully.

Indeed.The emperor narrowed his eyes and thought.

When he looked at Zhao Zhen'er again, there was a sharp and cold look in his eyes.The emperor didn't have a good impression of this future daughter-in-law from the very beginning, and now he is even more disgusted.
