After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Chapter 450 Qingwu Kingdom Cannot Be Protected

Seeing Zhou Chengyi's behavior, Chen Tianxiang felt a surge of anger.

Upon hearing that Wu Yan had been arrested, he was in a great hurry to destroy the evidence for him.

But he turned around and started biting himself.

Fortunately, he was on guard against Zhou Chengyi, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to escape today.

"Minister Zhou, you have no evidence whatsoever. Don't even think about smearing me with the accusation of poisoning the leader!"

"Of course I have evidence! That evidence is hidden in..."

When the topic of evidence came up, Zhou Chengyi suddenly thought of something.

"Chen Tianxiang, you despicable man!"

He looked at Chen Tianxiang and saw the latter's lips curl up slightly, as if mocking his stupidity.

"Minister Zhou, where is the evidence you just mentioned?"

His so-called evidence was nothing more than the letter he himself had written to him.

But before he could poison Qingzhu, Zhou Chengyi had already burned the letter after being reminded by him.

Haha, now we'll see what he has to offer to attack me with.

Seeing the two of them looking like they wanted to tear each other apart, Wu Weiwei looked at Yin Chuan.

"Lord Yin, what did you find when you went to the Zhou residence?"

"My lord, when I arrived, the secret chamber in his house had already been destroyed..."

"destroyed?"

Zhou Chengyi looked at Chen Tianxiang and saw him curl his lips into a smile.

That seemed to mean, "See?"

If it weren't for me, the things in your secret room would probably have been discovered long ago!

Zhou Chengyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Chen Tianxiang hadn't gone too far.

Just then, a young eunuch outside the palace announced, "Your Majesty, Miss Chunxiao has arrived!"

Everyone looked outside.

Then Chunxiao led Mulanxue in.

"Your Majesty, I have successfully completed my mission and delivered the witnesses and evidence."

Wu Weiwei relaxed her brows and eyes.

"Okay, bring it here quickly!"

Wu Weiwei gestured to Yin Chuan, who then took the ebony box from Chunxiao's hand.

"Lord Chen, do you recognize this box in front of you?"

Upon seeing the box that Yin Chuan was holding, Chen Tianxiang's face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Mulan Xue, tell me, what did Lord Chen do to you and your brother, and what promises did he make to you?"

Chunxiao, carrying Mulan Xue, pushed her down in front of Wu Weiwei.

Faced with such a scene, Mulan Xue turned pale.

"me……"

After talking for a long time, Mulan Xue couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Seeing her like this, Chunxiao stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, let me speak for her!"

Through Chunxiao's narration, everyone realized that Mulan and Xue's request for help from Qingzhu was well-prepared.

All of this was instigated by Chen Tianxiang, whose purpose was to gain Qingzhu's sympathy and take in the brother and sister as inside agents.

If Mulan Suo hadn't become so ambitious and wanted to overthrow Qingzhu and make herself king, she probably wouldn't have died so quickly.

Because of her brother's death, Mulan Xue stopped listening to Chen Tianxiang.

Having no other option, Chen Tianxiang turned his attention to Zhou Chengyi.

"Your Majesty, the contents of this box are what Mulan Xue confessed to, and what your subordinates found in Chen Tianxiang's residence."

You'll know the truth once you open it...

Under her own severe torture, Mulanxue had no choice but to reveal the location where Chen Tianxiang had hidden the items.

Wu Weiwei looked at Mulan Xue, who was kneeling on the ground, and saw that her face was ashen.

Haha, these two people...

Unexpectedly, Mulan Xue, who claimed to love their leader, was actually Chen Tianxiang's woman behind the scenes. This truth truly stunned everyone.

"Injustice! My lord!"

Chen Tianxiang immediately knelt down.

His sharp gaze shot towards Mulan Xue like a shuttle.

"All of this is pure fabrication and slander by Mulan Xue."

Everyone knew that Chen had worked for the Xiyu tribe before coming to Qingwu Kingdom, and had no idea that he had tried to bribe Mulan Xue and her brother...

If that's the case, then how did I instigate them to do things for me?

Besides, as a minister of the Qingwu Kingdom, why would I, Chen, abandon a comfortable life and secretly plot against the Qing chieftain?

"Yes, Lord Chen is a meritorious official of Qingwu Kingdom."

He neither committed any wrongdoing nor had any motive to kill.

"I heard a few days ago that the leader was planning to promote Lord Chen to the position of Director of the Imperial Observatory, in charge of its affairs. He has no reason to leave Qingwu Kingdom!"

I think so too.

Lord Chen is usually on good terms with everyone, so who exactly wants to persecute him?

"Your Majesty, do you perhaps have some misunderstanding about Lord Chen?"

"..."

Seeing so many officials speaking up for him, Chen Tianxiang showed no outward expression, but he was secretly pleased.

That person was farsighted; if he hadn't taught me to be kind to others, they probably wouldn't be speaking up for me now.

Seeing the attitude of these people, Wu Weiwei's expression darkened instantly.

"Gentlemen, instead of feeling indignant on his behalf, why don't you take a look at what Lord Yin is holding?"

After speaking, Wu Weiwei looked at Yin Chuan.

"Lord Yin, please take the contents of the box out!"

At Wu Weiwei's prompting, Yin Chuan opened the box, which was filled with envelopes.

"Your Majesty, shall these letters be read aloud in public?"

Wu Weiwei raised her hand.

Then Yin Chuan casually took out a letter.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the Qingwu Kingdom, I extend my sincerest greetings to you. Our leader is now missing, and we are leaderless."

But his position was taken over by a scheming woman who rose to power through her beauty…

When Yin Chuan read this part, he glanced at Wu Weiwei and, seeing that she wasn't angry, continued reading.

"The people of Qingwu Kingdom can accept mediocrity, but they will never accept women in power."

Therefore, on behalf of the Qingwu Kingdom, I earnestly request that your country send troops to help us eliminate this wicked and treacherous concubine who has brought disaster to the nation and its people..."

"boom!"

After Yin Chuan finished reading the contents of the letter, everyone was stunned for a moment.

This……

What is Chen Tianxiang trying to do?

He actually wrote a letter to the Western Liang Kingdom seeking help, intending to use their power to get rid of Wu Weiwei?

This is more than just outrageous; it's treasonous.

Looking at the box full of letters, Yin Chuan looked at Wu Weiwei.

"Your Majesty, shall we continue reading the rest?"

Wu Weiwei looked at everyone.

"Tell me, what should be done with a traitor like Chen Tianxiang who intends to rebel?"

The group exchanged glances, and for a moment no one dared to utter a sound.

Seeing that the people had fallen silent, Wu Weiwei looked at Yin Chuan and saw that he was holding a letter with unusual handwriting and was about to open it.

Then Chen Tianxiang shouted loudly, "No!"

Upon hearing Chen Tianxiang's objection, Wu Weiwei's eyes revealed a hint of interest.

"Who wrote this letter?"

"My lord, I advise you not to ask any more questions! Otherwise, I fear you will not be able to protect your Qingwu Kingdom..."

Even at this point, Chen Tianxiang still dares to speak so arrogantly.

Hearing his rambling threats, Wu Weiwei was so angry she laughed.

"You think you can't protect my Qingwu Kingdom? You've got quite the nerve!"

"Someone come!

"Drag this villain who disrupted the court and instigated the murder of Chief Qing out and behead him!"
