Chapter 577 The Villainous Female Supporting Character Who Impersonated the Tyrant's Savior 32

"General Meng guarded the border, facing life and death several times, protecting the gate of our Tianqi Kingdom, loyal to the emperor and the country. Yet he was framed by such greedy and lustful people, and his whole family was imprisoned. If they hadn't been rescued, the Meng family would have been wiped out by now! A miscarriage of justice was almost made!"

Jun Xun'er glanced coldly at Xia Xizhi, and said indignantly,

"Such treacherous officials deserve to be torn to pieces, and that wouldn't be enough to appease public anger!"

"Your Majesty, this man is Liu Sai, a member of the Imperial Guard who was bribed by this treacherous minister. He was the one who found the letter evidence that day."

Jun Xun'er glanced at Liu Sai, who was being forced to kneel on the ground.

“You should honestly explain to His Majesty.”

Liu Sai's face was pale. He glanced fearfully at Xia Xizhi, then gritted his teeth and said...

"What the Princess said is true; it was Prime Minister Xia who ordered me to do it!"

"Prime Minister Xia threatened me with my entire family, forcing me to frame General Meng. I had no choice but to comply. I am guilty and am willing to atone with my death!"

The surrounding ministers immediately erupted in a chorus of condemnation.

"As expected, General Meng was framed by this scoundrel!"

"Well done, Princess! Without you, General Meng and his family would have been unjustly killed! This traitor finally has someone to deal with him!"

"Let's see how he tries to argue now!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to execute the treacherous minister Xia!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to execute the treacherous minister Xia!"

.......

The Minister of Justice beside Xia Xizhi gloated.

"You treacherous dog Xia, you're finished this time! With the Princess in charge, His Majesty won't tolerate you anymore. Quickly kneel down and beg for mercy, and maybe His Majesty will spare your life!"

Xia Xizhi grunted.

"Minister Li, I think you should worry about yourself. At your age, still spending entire nights like this with your concubines, aren't you afraid of suddenly dying in bed one day? Tsk tsk, that would be so shameful..."

Xia Xizhi's voice was quite loud, and everyone around heard it.

Someone behind them couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.

The ministers in the court all knew that since his wife passed away, he had taken a concubine who was even younger than his own daughter and doted on her like the apple of his eye.

Ever since he took this concubine, he goes to court every day with dark circles under his eyes, looking completely drained...

Minister Li's face turned red with embarrassment.

"You, you, you! Filthy language! Shut up!"

"Still have time to spout nonsense? Hurry up and try to deny it, or you'll be in big trouble!" Minister Li snorted.

Amidst a chorus of voices around her pleading for her death, Xia Xizhi stole a glance at Jun Ze.

Seeing that he seemed to be listening to these voices criticizing her, his expression did not seem very good.

That's right. He was the one who ultimately decided the case. How could a king admit that he killed the wrong person? The princess bringing people here is tantamount to slapping him in the face.

Having figured this out, Xia Xizhi immediately crossed his arms, his attitude arrogant and overbearing, showing no respect for Jun Xun'er whatsoever.

"The confiscation of General Meng's property was ordered by His Majesty. Is the Eldest Princess questioning His Majesty?"

Jun Xun'er's face immediately turned gloomy.

How dare someone of lowly birth speak to her like that?

"Nonsense! That's not what I meant. Prime Minister Xia is truly a smooth talker! His Majesty has been deceived by you! The evidence is conclusive. I am here to expose you, this treacherous minister who framed loyal officials, on behalf of His Majesty!"

Xia Xizhi sneered,

"The Princess's so-called conclusive evidence is based solely on his words? How laughable!"

"The laws of Tianqi do not allow for conviction based solely on one person's words. If the Princess wishes to punish me, she should first go back and study the laws of Tianqi properly. If you are not well-read, go home and study more, instead of making a fool of yourself in court..." Xia Xizhi said with a mocking expression.

"you!"

Jun Xun'er's face immediately turned extremely ugly. She was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Xia Xizhi, but remembering that this was the imperial court and Jun Ze was still there, she forcibly pulled it back.

A sinister glint flashed in Xia Xizhi's eyes.

"This one person is enough to prove that you framed General Meng, because the key evidence was found by this Imperial Guard. What excuse do you have, you traitorous scoundrel!"

Xia Xizhi chuckled and slowly walked up to Liu Sai.

"You say that I threatened you and made you frame General Meng. Then tell me, how did I give you the letter of evidence that framed General Meng? Did I give it to you personally?"

Liu Sai, who was kneeling on the ground, paused for a moment.

"Of course, you didn't give it to me personally. You sent someone to fetch it from me."

"Is that so? Then who did I send?"

Liu Sai's body stiffened, and his expression changed.

"I...I didn't see it clearly."

Xia Xizhi's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Really? When were you summoned? What was the time and place? Where was the written evidence given to you?"

Liu Sai didn't even think about it.

"It was at the Prime Minister's house."

Xia Xizhi smiled.

"In this official's household?"

Xia Xizhi's tone suddenly turned cold.

"I accompanied His Majesty to suppress the bandits. When we returned, it was already late, so I stayed directly at the Ministry of Justice. I never left the Ministry of Justice from beginning to end, as everyone who was there that night can attest. In the latter half of the night, we were attacked by assassins. They found a letter from the wife of the General of the Meng family to an enemy country in the maid's possession. I immediately requested His Majesty's permission to search the Meng family. I had no time to leave."

Liu Sai's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he quickly said,

"No, no, it was in the Ministry of Justice prison. I'm mistaken. It wasn't at Prime Minister Xia's house."

As he spoke, Liu Sai glanced at Jun Xun'er in a panic. Jun Xun'er's face was very serious, and she gave him a look.

Liu Sai gritted his teeth and shouted loudly,

"Your Majesty! I was indeed threatened by Prime Minister Xia. I confess my guilt and am willing to die to atone for my sins and prove that I am telling the truth!"

"Want to die?"

Xia Xizhi looked down at him, a smirk playing on her lips, and chuckled softly, saying...

"Do you think that if you die, the person who ordered you to frame me will let your whole family go?"

"No, your whole family must die!"

"Keeping your family alive is a threat to her. Tell me, if you were in her shoes, would you spare your entire family's lives...?"

Liu Sai was dumbfounded, his face changed drastically, and he looked sharply at Jun Xun'er.

"enough!"

Jun Xun'er raised her voice and interrupted sharply.
