Chapter 128 Limelight
"When the Third Prince went to Daizhou, he had some connections with me. In order to satisfy me, he sent his concubine to serve me," Meng Zhi sneered, "but this concubine ran away in the end and went to the Third Prince. She is the one called Jiang Wanwan. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her."
Mu Kang's expression froze.
Gu Cheng took a breath of cold air.
"I don't know what happened in the capital, but he sent me a message asking me to blow up Anping Bridge. I thought it wouldn't cause any harm to me, so I helped him."
Zhou Jinghong presented all the evidence to Gu Cheng, "Sir, this is the evidence of Lord Meng's crime that I have collected during this period of time, which can confirm his statement."
Gu Cheng reluctantly took out the official document and looked at it for a while. Then he put the document back on the tray and asked him to take it to Mu Kang.
Mu Kang picked up the document, looked at it, then put it down again, with a unhappy expression on his face.
"Sir, this matter..." Mu Kang spoke, his tone somewhat anxious.
Gu Cheng raised his hand to interrupt him, "You have already pleaded guilty. Wei Yi, let him sign and seal it."
Wei Yi presented the written testimony and handed the pen to Meng Zhi.
Meng Zhi hesitated for a long time before he started writing. Finally, he held the pen with trembling hands and wrote his name. He then dipped his thumb in the red ink, frowned, and pressed his finger on the testimony.
His expression was quite indignant.
Wei Er dragged Meng Zhi back to the prison of the Censorate.
Gu Cheng sent everyone away, looked at Mu Kang's rather indignant expression, and said soothingly, "The result of this case was ordered by His Majesty. No matter how you investigate, you will not find this result."
"Why does Your Majesty protect Concubine Xian and her son so much? The evidence is already conclusive, but Your Majesty still wants to overturn the results for them. Wouldn't the Queen mind if the Meng family is involved?" Mu Kang frowned.
Gu Cheng stroked his graying beard, "Your Majesty and Concubine Xian have a deep connection... Your Majesty is reluctant to kill her because of their old relationship."

Jiang Wanwan picked up a piece of cake, broke it into several pieces, and threw it on the ground casually. She then pinched one of the pieces with her orchid fingers and brought it close to her red lips.
Sangsang held Zhao Tongzhang in his arms and coaxed him to sleep.
"Eat." Jiang Wanwan kicked the crumbs on the ground and forced Xianglan, who was crawling on the ground, to eat them.
Xianglan looked at the broken cakes covered in dust, then raised her head to look at Jiang Wanwan, her eyes filled with tears, "My queen, I...I..."
"What? Don't you want to eat?" Jiang Wanwan kicked Xianglan in the face with one foot, kicking her lightly several times in a row, "I usually indulge you too much, and you have developed such an arrogant character, and you have become a little wishful thinking. While I was resting after giving birth, you climbed into my husband's bed? Don't you see that with your lowly background, you are not worthy of climbing into His Majesty's bed?"
Xianglan knew that Jiang Wanwan was now in power, so she didn't dare to refute her words. She could only curse Jiang Wanwan in her heart.
The more Jiang Wanwan looked at Xianglan, who was aggrieved and pretentious, the more she felt annoyed and hated her. So she kicked Xianglan hard on the right cheek and said, "Why are you pretending? If you want to eat, eat quickly. If not, get out!"
Xianglan was kicked so hard by Jiang Wanwan that she fell to the ground.
Looking at Jiang Wanwan who was going crazy, Xianglan knew that Shaoyao and the others were unreliable and only wanted to make fun of her; the queen was just an embroidered pillow and would not stand up for her. Now, she had no choice but to cling to Jiang Wanwan's thigh.
