Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 809 Confession, confrontation in front of the palace

The treasurer of Baoyuxuan was taken back to Dali Temple for questioning. After carefully observing the jade plaque, he said that someone had brought a piece of blue mountain jade to order it, and finally sent it to the Second Prince's Mansion.

Yan Yun brought people to the door.

After explaining his intention, the second prince's expression changed slightly, "Master Yan, do you suspect that this palace sent someone to assassinate the prince?"

"It is precisely to clear the suspicion, and please cooperate with Your Highness."

"What if I don't cooperate?"

Li Xuan's eyes were unkind, "If I let you search the house today without any explanation, how would the outside world and the courtiers view this matter? Where is the majesty of the royal family?"

"If you want to check, you can, go and ask for the imperial decree first."

After all, it was the prince's mansion, so negotiations were useless. Yan Yun turned to enter the palace. As soon as he left, Li Xuan summoned a man and said angrily, "What's going on? Didn't I send you a message to suspend the plan? You put It’s fine if you kill someone, why are you still being held accountable?”

"Subordinates are incompetent."

Gongsun Fu lowered his head in embarrassment, "The jade tablet...is indeed my oversight. Since Dali Temple has found it, I'm afraid it will implicate His Highness."

"What's the use of talking about it now?"

Li Xuan paced back and forth anxiously, "Originally, there is a move by the twins, and Yi Chu is a foregone conclusion. There is no need to do anything extra, but such a disturbance, being targeted by Yan Yun and Su Rao, is absolutely impossible to be good."

"Why don't you just hand over your subordinates, and the subordinates will be responsible for everything."

"It would be great if this could happen."

The prince died in the imperial mausoleum, and he was the most suspected. Originally, it was a good thing to use dangerous tactics to solve the trouble, but suddenly the cheapest path appeared.

The two collided and it was doomed.

Li Xuan was upset and stopped suddenly. He turned to look at Gongsun Fu and said, "No, we can't let them find you. As long as no one is caught, there is nothing they can do even if they suspect you."

"Then now..."

Gongsun Fu looked at him tentatively, and Li Xuan said: "You disguise yourself, and I will send someone to take you out of the city. You can stay outside until the situation in Shengjing is settled."

Gongsun Fu looked at him and hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, the crown prince is gone now, and the third child has always been disliked by the emperor. He has only one son left under his knees, and I won't let Yan Yun and the others mess around."

Li Xuan said this to Gongsun Fu, but also to himself.

Gongsun Fu bowed deeply to him and turned around to go out. Not long after, several people dressed as servants left quickly at the back door of the Second Prince's Mansion.

Yan Yun entered the palace to ask for the order. They saw the right moment and wanted to escape into the crowd and leave in the chaos.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned to the alley, he was knocked unconscious by several people falling from the sky. When he woke up again, he was already in the prison of Dali Temple.

In the dim candlelight, Gongsun Fu was startled by the cold water and raised his head in confusion.

"woke up?"

The slender figure sitting not far away leaned slightly and said with a smile, "Then let's chat."

Screams echoed throughout the prison.

Half an hour later, the jailer dragged Gongsun Fu, who was covered in blood, and threw him back to the cell. After collecting his confession, Kong Jiang said: "Master Su, I have some official business over there, so I'll excuse you now."

"Master Kong, walk slowly."

After sending Kong Jiang away, the smile on Surao's face faded and completely turned into ice. She pinched her eyebrows, stood silent for a moment, and glanced in a certain direction of the prison.

After a while, he looked away again.

The news of the prince's death has not yet been informed to the princess. If she knew about it, she would be heartbroken again... Let's wait until the confession is submitted in the morning and we will deal with it.

Surao left Dali Temple and returned home.

Yan Yun was busy until very late before returning home. He said that after the death of the prince, the palace began to discuss how to deal with the princess and the twins. The princess took all the blame and cleared the Xi family. However, because the criminal deceived the emperor, he was sentenced to death. Behead and make a decision.

The fate of the twins was controversial in the palace.

On the one hand, he said that he was of royal blood after all, and that he was the orphan of the crown prince, so one of them was removed, leaving a little bit of blood.

On the other hand, if the twins are unknown, they will harm the country, and they should follow the ancestor's precepts and kill without mercy.

Of course, there are also those who are strong enough to protect Lian and Jin Yuanbao, claiming that the children are innocent, they can deprive the royal status, exile the people, and let them be ordinary people.

Emperor Qian Ding did not express his position on this.

Yan Yun guessed that he was more inclined to be the first one. "One or the other?"

Su Rao frowned: "In this case, the imperial court will definitely protect His Royal Highness and abandon the ingot."

This is too cruel for a child as young as five years old.

They couldn't accept this result either.

Yan Yun thought silently, and after a moment, he asked: "Did the people over there catch him?"

"Well, this is a confession."

Su Rao took it out of her sleeve and handed it to him, "In addition to Gongsun Fu, there are three other people in the Second Prince's Mansion who know about this plan."

Yan Yun said, "You rest first, I'll go out for a while."

"Going to the Second Prince's Mansion?"

"Ah."

The officers and soldiers of Dali Temple came to the door late at night. When the second prince heard that it was Yan Yun again, he sat up angrily, put on his clothes and walked out. Before he could leave the hospital, someone had already come in.

"Yan Yun!"

Li Xuan gritted his teeth, "This is His Highness's private residence!"

"According to His Majesty's will, search for the murderer who assassinated the prince. I hope His Highness will forgive me."

After Yan Yun raised his hand, the officers and soldiers behind him rushed in like a swarm and began to search the house. Li Xuan's complexion turned green and white, and his back teeth were almost broken.

After a stick of incense, the officers and soldiers took away the staff of the mansion, including the three mentioned in the confession.

Seeing them being pressed over with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, Li Xuan's heart jumped, "Yan Yun, why do you arrest people from my house?"

"Your Highness will know tomorrow."

Yan Yun spoke concisely and to the point, turned around and ordered: "Take him away."

That night, Yan Yun stayed away all night, and the lights in Dali Temple were brightly lit.

I don’t know how many people can’t sleep at all.

In the morning of the next day, Emperor Qian Ding had just sat down and Yan Yun walked out slowly. He submitted several confessions regarding the assassination of the prince, which made the officials feel uneasy.

Emperor Qian Ding furrowed his thick eyebrows as he watched, and finally pinched the confession out of shape. His eyes crossed the crowd and slowly fell on someone in the front row.

"Li Xuan."

Li Xuan's heart trembled violently, and he followed his words. Emperor Gan Ding slapped the confession on the table, and there was a loud 'pop'.

"We have witnesses and confessions, what else do you have to say?"

Li Xuan didn't know why, so he knelt down on the ground. Although he had some guesses, he didn't know what was written in the confession, so he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Emperor Qian Ding was furious and called the old eunuch to show him the confession.

Li Xuan took it tremblingly and glanced at it, his liver and gallbladder splitting in an instant, "No, Father, I didn't do this... Please tell me, Father, I have been wronged."

"Report to Your Majesty."

Su Rao came out and said, "Yesterday, Master Yan led a group of people to visit us. After explaining his purpose, His Highness said that he would need an imperial decree to conduct a search. As soon as Master Yan left, a few sneaky figures slipped out of the small door and were caught by the minister. "

"You husband and wife..."

Li Xuan was furious, knowing that he had been tricked, he didn't expect Gongsun Fu to confess so quickly, and said indiscriminately: "You clearly want to seek revenge for the prince, and you can't find the murderer, so you accuse the palace."

"Father, my father, you believe me, I am really wronged."

Li Xuan walked a few steps on his knees and kowtowed.

The officials under the East Palace Gate, who had been in a gloomy and miserable state a few days ago, could not have imagined that things would change so quickly.

At the moment, I was shocked and angry in my heart, mixed with the joyful feeling of revenge.

In addition to being happy, I feel sad and bitter.

If His Royal Highness is still alive, how wonderful it would be!
