The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 97 Design of Frame-up

Yunxi and the prince were busy preparing to go to the palace to meet the emperor, but they had no idea that the enemy's shameful conspiracy had already been secretly laid out.

That day, the prince was in his study, discussing a solution with several of his advisors. He sat behind his desk, his thick brows furrowed, his eyes radiating majesty as he stared intently at the documents on his desk.

Some of the counselors were standing, some were sitting, all of them had serious expressions and kept talking about something.

Yunxi, on the other hand, was quietly preparing tea for everyone. She was dressed in a light blue dress, her hair tied up in a simple bun, looking dignified and a little clever.

Suddenly, a chaotic noise came from outside the house. Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put down the teapot in her hand and walked towards the door in two steps.

The housekeeper of the Marquisate came running in, breathless, his face full of panic, his words barely comprehensible: "Prince, Princess, this is not good!

A group of soldiers came outside, saying they were ordered to search the mansion."

When the prince heard this, he stood up with a bang, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted, "Search the Marquis' Mansion?

Why? "

Yunxi's face suddenly darkened, her brows knitted tightly, and she bit her lip and said, "Someone must be behind this!"

Before anyone could react, a group of soldiers stormed into the courtyard. The leading officer shouted, "By order of the Emperor, search the Marquis' Mansion. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

The prince shouted angrily, "I wonder who of you dares to be so presumptuous! I am a loyal prince, how can I allow you to slander me like this!"

The prince opened his eyes wide, his gaze like a sharp sword, piercing straight at the general. He looked like an enraged lion, majestic and inviolable.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and his body trembled slightly. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

The general sneered, "Your Highness, this is not up to you. Search!" The general was a big and strong man with a face full of flesh and a pair of triangular eyes that showed viciousness.

He just waved his hand and looked like a street bully.

The officers and soldiers rushed into each room like wolves and tigers, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, and the mansion was suddenly in chaos.

Yunxi followed closely behind the prince, his eyes filled with anger. Yunxi gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed up, looking like a small animal protecting its master.

Her eyes widened as she shouted at the officers and soldiers, "How dare you, a bunch of lawless people, run wild in the Marquis' Mansion!"

After a while, a soldier found a letter from a secret compartment in the study. The general took the letter, glanced at it, and smiled triumphantly, "Your Majesty, this is evidence of your treason!"

The general grinned, revealing a row of yellow teeth, and his smile was as cunning as it could be.

The prince was shocked and stepped forward to snatch the letter, "Nonsense! This is clearly a false accusation!" The veins on the prince's forehead bulged, and he wished he could pounce on the general and tear him to pieces.

The general held the letter high and said, "Come, capture the prince!"

Yunxi shouted loudly: "You bunch of traitors, how dare you frame the prince!" Yunxi's voice was choked, and his hands were waving constantly, wanting to rush up and fight with the general.

At this moment, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion gathered around, but they did not dare to act rashly. Each of them had a look of fear on their faces, and some of the more timid ones even began to tremble.

At this tense moment, Lord Li rushed in. He was out of breath, his hat tilted, and his official uniform a little messy.

Seeing the scene before him, he quickly said, "Wait a minute! There must be something fishy going on here. I hope the general will reconsider."

The general was unmoved, "Sir Li, this is the emperor's order, please don't stop it." The general squinted his eyes, looking impatient.

Lord Li said anxiously, "Your Highness is an upright man and would never do such a treasonous act. Someone must have deliberately framed him."

The general snorted, "The evidence is irrefutable. Sir Li, please stop making excuses for him."

After saying this, the general waved his hand and shouted, "Come here, take this prince away from me!" The flesh on his face trembled with his movements, and a vicious light flashed in his triangular eyes.

Yunxi was so anxious that tears were about to come out, "Prince!" She rushed forward a few steps, trying to hold the prince, but was stopped by the soldiers.

Yunxi was so angry that her face turned red, her eyes widened, and she shouted loudly: "You bunch of lawless people, let the prince go!"

The prince turned to look at Yunxi with a firm gaze and said, "Madam, don't be afraid. I will clear my name."

The prince straightened his back, looking calm, as if all this was within his expectations.

The officers and soldiers pushed and shoved the prince out of the mansion. Yunxi watched their retreating figures, her body trembling slightly, and she bit her lips so hard that they left bloody marks.

Her eyes were filled with resentment and anger, and she secretly vowed to find out the truth and rescue the prince.

Back in the room, Yunxi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Her hair was a little messy, and her clothes were wrinkled from the pulling.

She paced back and forth in the room, twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands.

After a while, Yunxi called Lingfeng over and asked with a frown, "Lingfeng, who do you think was responsible for this?"

Ling Feng lowered his head and pondered for a moment before raising his head and saying, "Princess, this matter is probably related to those ministers who are against the prince in the court.

"Those guys have always disliked the prince and have done a lot of things to trip him up, both overtly and covertly." Ling Feng gestured as he spoke, his face full of indignation.

Yunxi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "They must be jealous of the prince and resorted to such despicable means."

There was anger in her eyes, and she looked as if she wanted to eat those people alive.

At this time, General Liu also rushed to the Marquis's residence. Before General Liu even entered the house, the loud voice rang out: "Princess, this is simply too much!

We can't just sit there and wait for death." General Liu strode in, his armor clanging.

His face flushed red and his beard trembled with anger.

Yunxi hurriedly said, "General Liu, do you have any ideas?" General Liu sat down on the chair, folded his hands over his chest, and thought for a moment before saying, "Princess, we must first start with that letter and find out its origins.

In my opinion, this letter is most likely forged."

After hearing this, Yunxi's eyes lit up and he said, "General Liu is absolutely right."

General Liu continued, "Also, we need to send someone to find out what those ministers have been doing recently. Maybe we can find some clues."

Yunxi nodded, "Okay, Lingfeng, you go and investigate this matter secretly."

Ling Feng took the order and left.

Yunxi discussed the matter with General Liu again. Both of them frowned, their faces solemn. General Liu put his hands on his hips and said in a gruff voice, "Princess, I think we need to find some reliable help. This matter can't be rushed."

Yunxi nodded slightly, her eyes firm. "General Liu is right. Let's go visit those ministers who are on good terms with the prince."

After that, the two of them boarded the carriage and sped along. They first arrived at the residence of Lord Zhang. When Lord Zhang heard that Yunxi and General Liu had arrived, he hurried out to greet them.

Mr. Zhang was tall and thin, with a goatee, and his face was filled with anxiety. "Princess, General Liu, I just heard about this. It's absolutely lawless!"

Lord Zhang was so angry that his hands were shaking.

Yunxi said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Zhang. Now that the prince has been wrongfully imprisoned, I hope Master Zhang can do his best to help him."

Master Zhang patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best to help you."

After leaving Lord Zhang's residence, Yunxi and General Liu went to several more houses without stopping. At some houses, the doorman, upon hearing that they were there for the prince's affairs, simply turned them away, muttering, "We dare not get involved in this matter. Go away!"

Some adults did welcome them in, but they just sat there sighing and shaking their heads, saying, "Princess, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm powerless and can't do anything to help you!"

Although Yunxi was disappointed, she still forced herself to continue her journey with General Liu. Along the way, Yunxi bit her lip tightly, her eyes revealing a stubborn look.

General Liu also looked annoyed and kept cursing.

It was already late at night when Yunxi returned to the mansion. She was exhausted and swaying. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were covered in dust.

But when she thought of the prince still suffering in prison, she cheered up and straightened her back.

At this time, Ling Feng returned. He was out of breath from running, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Seeing Yun Xi, he quickly said, "Princess, there is news."

Yunxi quickly asked, "How is it?"

Ling Feng panted as he spoke, "That letter was forged. I found out someone imitated the prince's handwriting."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi clenched her fists in anger and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's indeed a conspiracy. Can we find out who did it?"

Ling Feng shook his head, a look of guilt on his face: "I haven't found it yet, but I will continue to investigate."

Yunxi took a deep breath and said with a firm look, "Okay, we must find the mastermind as soon as possible."

While Yunxi was running around to save the prince, the enemy was secretly gloating.

In a secret room, several ministers sat together. One of them, a fat and big-eared minister, said, "This time, the prince will not be able to escape even if he has wings."

Another minister, his face full of pockmarks, laughed and said, "Let's see how he can continue to oppose us."

They thought their conspiracy had succeeded, but they didn't know that Yunxi would never let them succeed easily.
