Xiao Qi Feng nodded his head, although they already know about these things, but who was it that hated the two families? To actually use such a method to eliminate them.
Qiao Tian Chang suddenly thought of someone: “Could it be Xiao Zi Xuan?”
Xiao Qi Feng froze, he then shook his head: “Impossible, Xiao Zi Xuan should not know about these.”
”She still has secret soldiers brought from Xiao Residence, not only so, her limbs were previously crippled by Xiao Yi Lin,” Xiao Zi Xuan was not a broad-minded person, he was not surprised she would do such a thing.
Xiao Qi Feng was surprised and looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “You said Xiao Zi Xuan has been crippled? Why? Didn’t he already break all ties with her?”
In that case, why would she take action against them? It doesn’t make sense.
Qiao Tian Chang sneered: “He actually did it to protect Xiao Zi Xuan, wasn’t it why he barged into the General’s Residence?”
It was because he wanted to tell them about it, however, he was unable to force his entry.
Xiao Qi Feng was still feeling really surprised: “Since they already broke all ties, she is also not his biological daughter, is it worth it?”
”Even if you’re raising a pet, you will have feelings for it after raising it for dozens of years, not to mention raising a human, he even dotes on her,” Qiao Tian Chang said disapprovingly.
Xiao Qi Feng nodded his head, he seemed to be thinking of something, if that’s the case, he was really curious what the two family’s reactions would be when they saw it.
The morning of the next day, in the imperial court, Xiao Qi Feng showed the evidence to Marquis Ling and Duke Xiao, the ministers in the royal court also saw it.
Their expressions changed when they saw those items, especially people from Ling Residence. News of the token in their hands and them taking it to seek the Xiao Empire’s secret army was also written on it.
”Your majesty, please investigate thoroughly, this is defamation.”
”Defamation? I don’t think so,” Xiao Qi Feng looked at Marquis Ling with unknown intentions.
Marquis Ling was uncertain what Xiao Qi Feng meant, but he kept on saying he was framed.
Xiao Qi Tian had an evil grin when he looked at Marquis Ling: “I received news some time ago, Marquis Ling disguised himself during the New Year and headed to Ling Empire, I wonder if it’s true.”
Marquis Ling’s eyelids twitched, he looked at Xiao Qi Tian with uncertainty: “I wonder where Prince Xiao heard this from? This humble servant was at home during that period.”
”At home? I don’t think so. We can find out at the border customs clearance records. Marquis Ling, you said you were at home, do you want us to check it?” Xiao Qi Tian narrows his eyes as he said, he seemed really casual.
Marquis Ling’s expression changed, he immediately knelt to the ground: “Your majesty, please investigate thoroughly, this servant was really at home during this period of time.”
Xiao Qi Feng looked at Marquis Ling: “At home?”
”Yes.”
Qiao Tian Chang watched as Marquis Ling was drenched in cold sweat: “Marquis Ling seems to be very hot, it’s only the beginning of spring yet you’re already sweating so much.”
Marquis Ling unconsciously touched his face, his hand was wet.
Xiao Qi Tian clicked his tongue as he looked at Marquis Ling: “Really, the weather is still cold yet you’re sweating so much, even your whole body is trembling, are you nervous?”
Xiao Qi Tian and Qiao Tian Chang took turns to talk, causing Marquis Ling having no way to talk. He looked at the two of them and said helplessly: “Prince Xiao, I wonder how did this humble servant offend you? Why are you targeting me like this?”
Xiao Qi Tian was amused by how Marquis Ling was acting: “I am targeting you? What do you have that’s worth me targeting you?
This person was lying through his teeth right in front of the evidence, he really admired him deeply.
Xiao Qi Feng sat on top and did not speak. At that moment, Duke Xiao suddenly spoke: “This is simply planting false evidence.”
Qiao Tian Chang wanted to say something, but Xiao Qi Feng gave him an eye signal, Qiao Tian Chang understood and nodded his head: “Planting false evidence? We’ll know after sending people to investigate.”
”Well said, we’ll leave this matter for the General and the Left Senior Minister to handle,” Xiao Qi Feng ignored Xiao Yi Lin’s ugly expression and directly said.
”Much obliged,” Qiao Tian Chang and Chen Feng knelt at the same time.
