Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 430 Framed, Xiao Ling's Rescue

In the power struggles of the palace, Su Jinxiu is framed and falls into a predicament.

Just as Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling were struggling to deal with the rumors, an even more sinister conspiracy quietly descended. A concubine in the palace, jealous of Su Jinxiu's favor with the emperor and her important role in the reforms, colluded with some treacherous ministers to frame Su Jinxiu.

One day, Su Jinxiu was handling affairs in the palace as usual when a group of guards suddenly rushed in.

"Madam Su, someone has reported that you are colluding with foreign powers and plotting a rebellion," the guard captain said.

Su Jinxiu was shocked: "This is slander! I am utterly loyal to His Majesty!"

But the guards, without saying a word, imprisoned Su Jinxiu.

Xiao Ling was extremely anxious upon learning of this.

“This is clearly a frame-up. Madam would never do such a thing!” Xiao Ling said.

He traveled far and wide, trying to clear Su Jinxiu's name. However, those who framed Su Jinxiu had already laid many obstacles in their way.

"General Xiao, the evidence is conclusive. It would be best if you did not interfere," a minister said with a sneer.

Xiao Ling glared at him angrily: "You bunch of despicable people will be punished sooner or later!"

At the same time, public opinion in the palace was also extremely unfavorable to Su Jinxiu.

"I never expected Su Jinxiu to be this kind of person."

"You really know people, faces but not hearts."

Xiao Ling knew that in order to save Su Jinxiu, he had to find real evidence and expose the conspiracy.

He secretly gathered some close associates and began investigating the matter.

After a difficult investigation, they discovered some clues. It turned out that the concubine and the ministers had fabricated evidence and bribed witnesses.

"We must expose their conspiracy," Xiao Ling vowed silently.

Just as Xiao Ling was about to present the evidence to the emperor, he discovered that the evidence had suddenly disappeared.

"How could this happen? Someone must have made a move beforehand."

Xiao Ling fell into despair.

At this time, Su Jinxiu was suffering greatly in prison, but she always firmly believed that Xiao Ling would save her.

"My husband, you must not give up."

Xiao Ling did not back down at all and continued to search for new clues.

Just then, the people who framed Su Jinxiu turned their attention to Xiao Ling, attempting to eliminate him as well.

"Xiao Ling, if you don't know what's good for you, you'll end up like Su Jinxiu."

Xiao Ling disregarded everything and ran around trying to rescue Su Jinxiu.

Xiao Ling knew that time was of the essence, and every minute and every second could be a matter of life and death for Su Jinxiu. He disregarded his own safety and rushed around every corner of the palace day and night.

He first went to see the emperor, hoping to present the truth and defend Su Jinxiu.

"Your Majesty, Su Jinxiu has absolutely no intention of colluding with the enemy or plotting a rebellion. All of this is a frame-up. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty!" Xiao Ling knelt before the emperor, his words earnest.

However, the emperor looked troubled: "Xiao Ling, the evidence is conclusive, and I find it difficult to easily believe your one-sided story."

Xiao Ling was extremely anxious, so he turned around and visited several highly respected ministers in the court, hoping to gain their support.

"My lord, you know Su Jinxiu's character and loyalty. I hope you can speak a fair word for her before His Majesty," Xiao Ling said earnestly.

Some ministers showed sympathy, but fearing the forces that might frame Su Jinxiu, they could only shake their heads helplessly: "Xiao Ling, this matter involves a wide range of people, and I am powerless to do anything about it."

However, some ministers were moved by Xiao Ling's sincerity and expressed their willingness to secretly help him.

While searching for help, Xiao Ling did not give up on finding evidence. He re-examined the entire incident and discovered some previously overlooked details.

"These details might be the key to a breakthrough." A glimmer of hope ignited in Xiao Ling's heart.

He secretly sneaked into the concubine's palace where Su Jinxiu had been framed, trying to find more evidence.

"Xiao Ling, how dare you trespass into my palace!" the concubine shouted angrily.

Xiao Ling was fearless: "I'm not afraid of anything in order to save Madam."

Just as Xiao Ling and the concubine were at an impasse, the guards rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

"Seize Xiao Ling! How dare he offend Her Majesty!"

Xiao Ling escaped the guards' pursuit thanks to his superior martial arts skills.

However, his actions also alerted his perpetrators, who intensified their suppression of Xiao Ling.

"Xiao Ling, you're courting death."

Xiao Ling's situation became increasingly difficult. He not only had to face the pursuit of his enemies, but also had to deal with various rumors and pressures in the palace.

"I heard that Xiao Ling has gone mad in his efforts to save Su Jinxiu."

"He'll only get himself into trouble by doing this."

But Xiao Ling never once had the thought of backing down.

Just when Xiao Ling was almost in despair, he unexpectedly received help from a mysterious person.

“Come with me, I can help you find evidence,” the mysterious man said.
