Chapter 554 The Fire Palace Suffers Heavy Losses!
Guagua: [That's why they say an elder who can cause trouble is full of cunning.]
Host, you're the best; you're so simple-minded.
Otherwise, Guagua would be completely fooled by you right now!
Sensing a hint of relief in Guagua's tone, Shen Zhao gritted his teeth.
Guagua, what do you mean?
I considered you a close friend.
I can't bear to use my cunning on you.
Otherwise, you can't beat me.
However, you are just a small system.
What are you worried about? Do you think I'd tear you apart?
Guagua: [Hehe, host, I was just kidding.]
Okay, that's enough with the teasing!
The moment Li Yuan arrived at the courtyard, he had already taken the servants into the dungeon.
After severe punishment, someone confessed to identifying Meng Jiaojiao.
The maid who confessed to everything was none other than Zhu'er.
However, this testimony ended up in Li Yuan's hands.
He was filled with doubt, wondering if Meng Jiaojiao had such a scheming mind.
Chang Mingrou was naturally furious, but she wanted to find her biological son even more.
Only by finding the mastermind behind all of this can we find out.
Meng Jiaojiao is the murderer. Does she really doubt that woman has the brains to do it?
And that's exactly what Elder Gong wants.
Only the truth that one painstakingly seeks out will leave a lasting impression.
First, she was afraid that the two maids would expose Meng Jiaojiao, making people think that someone else was deliberately framing Meng Jiaojiao.
Then, at the appropriate time, personally deliver the key witness to Chang Mingrou.
This only made Chang Mingrou feel that it was her persistence that brought the belated truth to light!
Shen Zhao: [Meng Jiaojiao's acting of being born sick was so convincing!]
It must be said that this move by someone who is usually so guileless was surprisingly effective!
Guagua: [That can only fool people for a short time.]
Chang Mingrou insisted on bringing Meng Jiaojiao in for questioning.
At the same time, more people were sent to search for the maid she had seen in the room.
At that moment, she became certain that the maidservant knew something!
When Meng Jiaojiao arrived, she naturally insisted that she had been framed!
However, once the maid was brought back, there was no way to deny the truth!
Meng Jiaojiao stammered out the good deed she had done!
But it was all too late; Li Wei had long since vanished!
Shen Zhao: [What happened next? Did Meng Jiaojiao suffer any punishment?]
Guagua: [Back then, the Heart-Connecting Gu was still around, so it was impossible for Li Yuanye to take Meng Jiaojiao's life.]
Moreover, that silly Li Guang, when Meng Jiaojiao's confidant approached him...
He knelt for a long time, pleading for his mother's life.
Through a multi-pronged approach, Meng Jiaojiao was merely confined to her own courtyard!
Shen Zhao: [This is so unfair!]
No wonder Chang Mingrou sought revenge later on!
Guagua: [That's right, Chang Mingrou wishes she could eat that bitch's flesh and blood alive!]
At this moment, Elder Gong, the plot device, reappears!
Elder Gong and the East and West Palaces were locked in a fierce struggle over the disappearance of Li Wei.
Chang Mingrou was already obsessed and wanted to kill Meng Jiaojiao and her son.
They had to stay far away and keep an eye on things, but they were in a real mess!
Elder Gong then launched a palace coup!
But all of this failed!
It all comes down to Elder Gong's son!
Elder Gong thought he had kept his thoughts very well hidden.
But his son, while drunk, revealed the secret.
Then it reached the ears of those far away.
Li Yuan had been keeping an eye on that person and was also wary of Elder Gong!
On the day of the palace rebellion, Li Yuan directly captured his son and threatened him!
Then, they narrowly won!
Elder Gong fled in defeat, and the Li Huo Palace suffered heavy losses!
