Chapter 243 The Envoy Liu's Home Was Confiscated (Part [-])
Eunuch Lin promised to back out.

Concubine Wang Gui suddenly raised her eyes to look at Han Youning, "Emissary Liu Yuan is the adulterous son of the Wen family and the slaves, you don't mean to use my hand to get rid of him, do you?"

Han Youning smiled, he wasn't the only one to get rid of.

"My father is a general, so why take such a big detour if you want to kill Yuan Envoy Liu? One accident is enough."

Concubine Wang nodded, "Well, your father's temperament is capable of doing such a thing. Maybe he will be more ruthless, even killing his family members."

Han Youning thought to himself, that's not all, his father clearly wanted to kill everyone who had anything to do with Marquis Yongping and Wen Ruchun.

If it wasn't for her and her elder brother's persuasion, my father was afraid that he would become a demon.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Eunuch Lin came back.

But Court Envoy Liu did not follow.

Concubine Wang frowned, "Where is the envoy from Courtyard Liu?"

Eunuch Lin bowed his waist and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial hospital said that the envoy Liu Yuan did not enter the palace today, but I don't know why. Later, when he met King Chengjun, he said that Liu's house was ransacked early this morning. All the envoys of Liu Yuan were arrested and sent to the prison of Dali Temple, and it was His Royal Highness who personally brought people to the mansion to take them."

Wang Guifei sat up straight, "Prince? Why did he arrest Court Envoy Liu?"

"The prince said that Wen Ruchun was dismissed and returned to the Yongping Hou Mansion. Guanshi Lu is a servant of the Yongping Hou Mansion, and Liu Yuanshi is their son. No matter what, he should be a member of the Yongping Marquis Mansion. Then he should be with other family members. Same, let’s bring them to justice together.”

Concubine Wang glanced at Han Youning.

If the prince's move was not for Han Youning, she would not believe it.

Envoy Liu has been hiding in the palace for the past few days on duty, for fear of being murdered by Duke Ding.He left the palace last night until the chief eunuch Wu Jian reprimanded him for breaking the rules by staying in the palace every day and drove him out of the palace.

The crown prince sees that there is no way for someone in the palace to get past the emperor, so he waits for him to leave the palace before making a move, right?
Wang Guifei said indifferently, "The prince is really warm-hearted. No matter how good his reasons are, he is not afraid of the emperor's blame if he directly arrests the third-rank officials without asking for an order."

Eunuch Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said cautiously, "The emperor heard about this in the early court, and Long Yan was furious, so he sent King Chengjun to Dali Temple to invite His Highness the Crown Prince into the palace. He was about to leave the palace, so he asked The slave met..."

"Who did the emperor listen to?"

"Go back to your mother, it's General Cen."

General Cen, Concubine De's natal brother, guards Liaodong.The third prince, Zhao Yin, joined the army and went to Liaodong to fight with his uncle.

Wang Guifei sneered, "It really is him! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be sure who made the incense!"

Han Youning frowned slightly.

It turned out that Zhao Chen made a move.

If she had known that he would make a move, why would she bother to make this trip.

As long as the envoy of Yuan Liu enters Dali Temple, even if the emperor is reluctant to let go of this imperial physician, he will not be able to order him to be released.If Concubine De wanted to forcefully intervene to stop her, it would not be so easy.

Wang Guifei looked at Han Youning, "Do you know who the prince is doing this for?"

Han Youning said indifferently, "His Royal Highness, the crown prince, has a superb mind. He must have seen that Envoy Liu was instructed by others to conceal the real illness of the imperial concubine. His highness is doing his filial piety to vent his anger on your empress."

Wang Guifei looked at her for a long time.

"You are smart. From the perspective of official affairs, the crown prince is too strong and domineering. But from the perspective of filial piety, it is understandable for the crown prince to be so radical, and the emperor can't blame him."

Han Youning lowered her eyes, "What the minister said was the truth, she didn't think about it."

"Hmph, sleek!"

Concubine Wang told Eunuch Lin, "Go and watch, when the crown prince enters the palace, come back and report."

Eunuch Lin promised to step down.
-
Dali Temple Dungeon.

trial room.

Envoy Liu was hung on the torture rack, with his toes barely touching the ground. His official robes were already ragged, and his snow-white tunic was stained with blood.

With a sharp sound of piercing through the air, the pitch-black whip lashed at him fiercely, bleeding from the whip.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me..."

"Forgive me..."

Envoy Liu screamed miserably, begging for mercy, and the screams resounded throughout the dark dungeon, extremely scary.

The family members of Yuanshi Liu were imprisoned in the cell not far away, including several wives and concubines, and five children.

They cried out in terror.

For several days, they lived in fear.The scandal of Wen Ruchun in the capital was widely spread. Every day outside their mansion, outraged common people blocked the door, throwing rotten eggs, dog blood, and even filth, dead cats and dogs.

A few days ago, Miss Lan'er fell asleep in her room and disappeared. They searched everywhere they could, but they couldn't find her.

Some people speculated that it was the evil spirits who took people away.

Several children had nightmares every day, terrified, afraid that they would also be taken away by ghosts.

The master went back to the house last night and comforted them not to be afraid, after a while the wind gradually recovered.But why did he wake up and his house was ransacked!
Zhao Chen's face was ruthless, as if he hadn't heard his begging for mercy, he pursed his thin lips tightly, and the whip in his hand was full of thunderous anger, splashing salt water and blood, and whipped down one whip after another.

The dim candlelight flickered, shone on his body, and flickered on and off, making his face even more frightening, and his black clothes were thick, like a messenger returning from hell.

Seeing the envoy Liu's shouts getting weaker and weaker, Wang Shaoqing at the side reminded tremblingly, "His Royal Highness, if you continue to fight, you will lose your breath."

After finishing speaking, I felt that these words were inexplicably familiar.

To tell the truth, he himself felt that his main duty was to remind His Royal Highness not to beat people to death.

Zhao Chen stopped, threw the whip on the ground, and asked softly, "Do you know why Gu wants to arrest you?"

Court Envoy Liu finally got a chance to catch his breath, and he regained his sanity after taking a long time.

He replied feebly, "Return to Your Highness, I know. But I have no choice but to choose my own background, mother... I have no knowledge of Wen Ruchun's evil deeds, and I have never participated in it..."

Zhao Chen waved back, "Bring someone here!"

Two jailers escorted a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in. The girl was wearing cheap coarse clothes, her eyes were covered with cloth strips, and she was crying in terror.

Envoy Liu was shocked, "Lan'er! Why are you here?"

The girl also recognized her father's voice, hope flashed across her face, "Father, father...help me..."

As soon as she yelled, a cloth was stuffed in her mouth.

Envoy Liu knelt down and begged, "His Royal Highness, the child doesn't know anything, please let her go!"

Zhao Chen said calmly, "Come and check her pulse and see what's wrong with her."

The jailer untied Yuanshi Liu from the rope on the rack, and Yuanshi Liu fell to the ground.

Lan'er was also pushed and fell beside him.

The envoy Liu didn't know why, so he put his trembling hand on his daughter's wrist.

After a while, his complexion changed suddenly, and he raised his hand to pull the white cloth from Lan'er's eyes.
