After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 421 - 311 Too Smooth! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

Chapter 421: Chapter 311 Too Smooth! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3
Why did she happen to appear at Prince Rong’s Mansion?
And why, of all times, was it just when Xu Lian rushed over?
Lian Rong said she hurried out to look for Mrs. Zhang, so she didn’t have time to delve into Xu Lian’s appearance.
Did she really not have the time to notice?
Whether it was Fu Zhen, or someone else, Xu Yin might believe that.
But if it were Liang Ning, she would never be so careless. The more critical the moment, the more vigilant she becomes, otherwise, she would not have hidden the dagger so carefully when she found it back then...
"Vice Minister Xu, mind the threshold."
The eunuch’s reminder brought him back to his senses. Upon a closer look, crossing this threshold meant entering the Qianqing Palace.
He couldn’t help but mock himself internally.
After all these years, he still thought of her so easily.
So what?
He could only bury his head and move forward, couldn’t he?
"Crown Prince!"
As he crossed the threshold, the eunuch’s voice came from ahead.
Xu Yin looked over and saw the Crown Prince just walking over from the opposite side!
"Your Highness!"
Xu Yin’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged as he cupped his hands and saluted, looking over.
The Crown Prince, taking large strides, stopped in front of him, looking very grave. He gave Xu Yin a profound look before saying, "Vice Minister Xu, you acted swiftly."
On the way, he had already received news of Prince Rong and his son’s suicide to avoid guilt!
This was the best news!
He hadn’t expected Xu Yin to actually succeed!
With this matter accomplished, at least most of his threats were eliminated!
With Prince Rong and his son, who could directly testify against him, dead, what use was Zhang Shicheng? He didn’t even know that the mastermind was himself!
Thus, he even increased his pace. Upon seeing Xu Yin, his mood elevated!
However, with all eyes on them, he couldn’t speak much to Xu Yin, and could only convey the message with such double meanings!
Xu Yin’s gaze was deep: "Given the importance, how dare I be negligent? I wonder if Your Highness is satisfied with my speed?"
The Crown Prince took a deep breath, glanced at the main entrance and said, "Vice Minister Xu’s work is indeed reassuring."
Xu Yin then cupped his hands: "I would ask Your Highness to look after us more."
The Crown Prince said, "With such talent as Vice Minister Xu, no one would be willing to dispense with you."
Xu Yin bowed deeply, gestured with his hand and said: "Please, Your Highness."
The Crown Prince’s gaze deepened as he entered through the door.
Everyone who should be in the grand hall had arrived.
The Emperor and Empress sat on either side of the brocade divan, while Pei Zhan, Liang Chen, and the people from the Imperial Censorate and the Dali Temple stood on either side of the hall.
The eunuch who came to the news of Prince Rong and his son’s suicide stood below, so at this moment, everyone’s face in the hall showed shock... or fury.
The Emperor slammed the table: "What were Liang Zhi and the others doing! Two generals couldn’t even capture two unarmed individuals!"
The news came so suddenly that even Pei Zhan and Liang Chen found it difficult to respond to the accusations.
Liang Zhi and Du Mingqian are no inexperienced youths without any experience facing enemies. At this stage of the complaint, they should have been wary of Prince Rong and his son’s tactics when they set out, how did they not guard against it?
How could they make such a huge blunder?
The two exchanged a glance, and Liang Chen requested: "Your Majesty, please permit me to go to Prince Rong’s Mansion to investigate thoroughly!"
The Empress’s face was dark, she didn’t say a word, but counselled: "Liang Zhi and the others are on the scene. Perhaps they discovered it quickly, and it might not yet be irreversible!
"It would also be good to have Shaoyang take a couple of Imperial Physicians over quickly!"
Only then did the Emperor grit his teeth and gestured to Liang Chen: "Go!"
Liang Chen left the hall, and Zhang Shicheng, who had just been brought in, immediately went limp on the floor! Even his father, Zhang Huan, who frequently came to the palace to play chess and drink tea with the Emperor, tremblingly knelt on the ground at this moment!
"What are you afraid of?" The Emperor looked down, "Prince Rong and his son’s suicide to evade blame has nothing to do with you, why are you so scared?"
Even though the Emperor was advanced in age, having ascended to the throne, he had accumulated majesty, which Zhang Shicheng couldn’t withstand. He trembled even more, sweat already trickling down his forehead.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Vice Minister Xu have arrived."
"Let them in."
With that, the Crown Prince and Xu Yin entered.
Seeing Xu Yin too, Zhang Shicheng became even more flustered!
The Emperor didn’t even glance at the duo, his gaze still fixed on the trembling Zhang Shicheng: "On the night of August 12th, the sixteenth year of Shengyuan, what were you doing in Baiyu Lane, while on duty at the Five City Battalion?"
