Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 810 Li Xuan is imprisoned and everything is turned upside down

Thinking of this, the officials were furious and demanded that Emperor Qian Ding severely punish the murderer. However, the officials of the second prince's party were vague and made various excuses in an attempt to exonerate him.

Su Rao and Yan Yun chose to attack in the early court because they didn't want the matter to be perfunctory.

In fact, Emperor Qian Ding really couldn't be perfunctory.

"All the evidence in this case will be examined by Yushitai in collaboration with Zhongshu. If the examination is correct, it will be dealt with according to law."

Censor Zhongcheng and several other adults responded quickly.

"What about the Second Highness?"

"First be detained in..."

Emperor Qian Ding originally wanted to talk about Dali Temple, but when he thought about the relationship between Yan Yun and the East Palace, he was afraid of being criticized, so he changed his voice and said: "Imprisoned in the inkstone washing platform."

The ministers should agree.

I muttered to myself.

The Inkstone Prison is really busy right now. The two children who were just thrown in have not yet been able to discuss the outcome, and then a second prince enters.

In a few days, all the princes and grandchildren will be begging for life inside!
With the participation of Yushitai and Zhongshu, interrogation of criminals and verification of confessions, Dali Temple became more lively. The things they found, Dali Temple copied a copy for backup and sent it to Yan Yun for review.

Su Rao followed suit.

"There's something weird here..."

She said: "After the twins were discovered, Li Xuan sent an order to stop the assassination plan. Judging from the time, they should have received the order before taking action, but the prince still died."

"Gongsun Fu denied receiving the order."

"This is even weirder."

Surao's fingertips lightly traced several testimonies, "This Gongsun Fuyi started to speak harshly, and I used some means to pry his mouth open. His other confessions can be corroborated by others, but he is the only one who has this point." Know.”

There is no doubt that the second prince did send them to kill the prince.

The prince did die at the hands of several people.

This is the truth.

but……

Surao still felt uneasy.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much..."

Ever since she discovered that there was an invisible hand always manipulating the situation behind her back, her nerves had been tense and difficult to relax, and she had a vague feeling that a storm was coming.

The situation in the court changes suddenly, and all officials have their own thoughts.

During this busy and complicated time, it was time for the prince's funeral and burial. Because he was implicated in the twin case, Emperor Qian Ding abolished his position as the crown prince and buried him with the ordinary ceremony of a prince.

There is no one in the East Palace.

Power declines.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were very perfunctory, so Yan Yun asked himself to take over the matter, handled it himself, and sent the prince to the funeral.

He expressed his love to Emperor Qian Ding, hoping to let the princess see the prince for the last time.

Emperor Yun.

That day, the Crown Princess was dressed as a soldier. She looked at her from a distance and almost fainted from crying. When Surao sent her back to the prison, she was still in a daze and called "Your Highness".

Compared to losing the prince, she was indifferent to her own sentence.

"Please do your best to save the child."

This was all she said after she woke up.

Soon after, Yushitai and Zhongshu conducted an investigation and determined that the evidence that the second prince instigated the assassination of the prince was conclusive. Emperor Qian Ding was furious and deprived him of his status as a prince, imprisoned him in a prison, and executed him immediately in autumn.

Now the officials of the Second Prince's party were also dumbfounded.

The prince is gone, the second prince has fallen, and there are only two princes of the right age. The remaining third prince has a low status, is cowardly, and cannot be a great person.

In this way, who should they assist?
The position of crown prince became vacant again.

Li Xuan hadn't figured out how the situation had developed to this point until he was transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. A few days ago, he had killed all the people in the East Palace, which was unparalleled.Why did he become a prisoner in the blink of an eye?

Time is running out.

The prison was dark, damp, and full of insects and ants. This cell was specially found for him. It was very quiet. Except for delivering meals and collecting tribute buckets, there were basically no people around.

Enough for Li Xuan to think.

He thought for a long time, suddenly stood up, grabbed the hand of the jailer who brought the meal, and said quickly: "Go quickly, call your minister, my highness has something to say to her."

The jailer was startled by his actions, and when he realized it, he quickly pulled out his hand and spat out unluckily, "Your Highness, you are a prisoner now. If you want to see us adults, why don't you urinate and do it yourself?"

He said and left slowly.

Li Xuan's face was distorted, he grabbed the railing and shouted, "Come back, you untouchable, I want to see Su Rao, I want to see Su Rao -"

He yelled and cursed in the cell.

The jailer couldn't help but reported it to Su Rao. When he heard that Li Xuan had something to say to her, he thought about it and went to the prison.

Seeing her, Li Xuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "That Gongsun Fu has a problem. He deliberately killed the prince and put the blame on me."

Surao raised her eyebrows, "Is this what you want to say?"

Li Xuan's expression froze with excitement, "You don't want to be specific?'

"Gongsun Fu has been with you for five or six years. He is one of the earliest staff members. He has planned for you and done a lot of things over the years. Why would he put the blame on you?"

When a basin of cold water was poured down on him, Li Xuan was speechless. For a moment, he still insisted on his opinion: "I have thought about it carefully. After the prince was demoted to the imperial mausoleum, Gongsun Fu has been encouraging me to kill people and silence him."

"What's wrong with that?"

The battle for the crown prince is a matter of life and death. As a staff member, he will do whatever it takes to share the worries of the master.

It's just that the prince is benevolent and never thought of such a method.

For several days after the burial, although Yan Yun was doing business as usual, eating and practicing his sword, he was losing weight visibly to the naked eye.

She knew where the crux was, but she was still helpless.

Li Xuan was irritated by her attitude, and his voice suddenly rose, "He should have received my order at that time and stopped, but he still killed people on his own initiative. Isn't this a problem?"

"It's just your guesswork."

Just like she had also suspected the problem, but after all, it could not be falsified, so it could only be a conjecture.

Surao waited for a long time, but besides scolding Gongsun Fu, he couldn't say anything else. She ran out of patience and turned around to leave.

Regarding the twins, the palace has made a decision.

Just as Yan Yun guessed, Emperor Qian Ding decided to retain a trace of the prince's blood, keep Li Yu, and execute Jin Yuan Bao.

The inkstone washing platform has full authority to act.

The night he received the news, Yan Yun entered the palace under the imperial edict, but he did not come back until the palace door was locked. Surao sent someone to inquire, but he only said that Emperor Qian Ding left him to talk.

"Madam, there is news from Dayan."

Zhu Yan came over with several bamboo tubes, and Su Rao took them and unfolded them one by one. Yao Huan and Yan came back to report the progress of rebuilding the news network. They had contacted Yan Jingyao and confirmed that Yan Jingyao was planning to murder Yan Jin. Wuji was punished.

As for how King Yan knew, it had something to do with a wizard raised in the palace.

Yan Jingyao led someone to investigate secretly, and found out from that person that there was a master behind him, who came from Dayong Chaotang and was very powerful.

The letter also mentioned at the end that the person they captured might have faked his death and escaped and returned to Dayong...

Su Rao looked more and more frightened.

During her trip to Youzhou, she guessed that the Shenxian San, the Jizhou rebellion, the private mining case, and the Qi and Hunan rebellion were all related to the previous dynasty.

The person arrested by the border bureau was the general of the rebel army when Jizhou was in trouble.

According to inference, he should also be from the previous dynasty, but Yan Jingyao found out that someone was helping them behind the scenes. While supporting the internal fight between the prince of Dayan and Yan Jingyao, he also used border affairs to suppress him.

On the other hand, he also rescued the 'remnants of the previous dynasty'.

Above the court, the position is high and powerful.

Who is this person, and what is his relationship with those in the previous dynasty?
