The Splendid Fate of the Reborn First Daughter

Chapter 199 I can prove my innocence
Qin Daban opened the brocade box, took out the silver knife from his pocket, cut off a piece of purple cypress, and fed it to the third prince.The third prince slowly relaxed his body, and his face gradually recovered.

The emperor let out a long breath, and said to the imperial doctor next to him, "Take the third prince's pulse."

The imperial doctor stepped forward, checked the pulse and said, "It should be all right."

The emperor nodded, and was about to speak when Concubine Xian suddenly went limp and passed out.

The emperor hurriedly carried Concubine Xian to the bed, the imperial doctor went up to check the pulse and said: "Concubine Xian is fine, it's just that she was too emotional just now, that's why she was like this, she will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

The emperor also sighed.

Qin Daban said: "Your Majesty, look at this..."

The emperor said: "I will leave this matter to you. You should go and investigate it yourself to see who did it."

Qin Daban immediately responded.

The emperor waited for Concubine Xian to wake up, comforted her a few words, and then left.

The emperor returned to the Hall of Qinzheng, and said coldly: "Now that he is more promising, he has even done things like mutilating his siblings, so he will attack me next time."

Qin Daban didn't dare to answer and lowered his head.

The emperor glanced at him: "What are you afraid of? In all likelihood, he did this."

Qin Daban also sighed: "This is really...a bit too much."

The emperor sighed: "This battle for great position has always been a life-and-death struggle, but I heard that it is really different from my personal experience. This child, in order to inherit the great power, is really going too far."

Qin Daban said: "It's better to establish the crown prince first, so as to get rid of his thoughts."

The emperor said: "I have thought about it this way, but I am afraid that he will not let the prince go. He will kill the father and the king directly."

Qin Daban was silent.

The emperor let out a long sigh, but also helpless.

The second prince was waiting for news in the mansion.

Wan Chang hurried in from outside, "Second Highness..."

The second prince stood up and asked eagerly: "Is it over?"

Wan Chang shook his head: "Originally, the poison had already been applied, and the third prince also vomited blood, but the emperor found the elixir from somewhere, and brought him back to life."

The second prince sat down and said: "It turns out that the father really has the elixir, and this Zhao Xingyu is not lying."

Wan Chang asked, "Then what should we do now?"

The second prince said: "Wait a minute, that virtuous concubine will definitely not let it go, we still have a second step, so don't worry."

Wan Chang said, "I don't know what the elixir is, but it would be great if we had it too."

The second prince said indignantly: "This Zhao Xinghe, one day in the future... must make him feel good!"

Wan Chang said: "Where did Zhao Xinghe get such a panacea?"

The second prince said: "As long as Zhao Xinghai is captured, I won't believe it, Zhao Xinghe will not bow his head. At that time, these good things will all be mine..."

Wan Chang said: "That's natural. Such a good thing, of course, only a person of your status deserves to enjoy it. Zhao Xinghe is also too ungrateful."

The second prince snorted, "I want to see how long he can be proud!"

In the palace.The emperor asked Qin Daban: "How is the investigation going?"

Qin Daban said: "This..."

The emperor wondered: "Is there something hidden?"

Qin Daban said: "I checked all the servants and female officials in the concubine's palace, and I found something. One servant named Xiao Xunzi confessed that he was the one who poisoned him, but..."

The emperor asked, "But what?"

Qin Daban said: "According to Xiao Xunzi, Zhao Xinghai gave this poison to him while he was working in the palace. He said that the First Prince couldn't bear the favor of the Third Highness, so he specially took 500 taels of silver and ordered him to do it. Yes. He also said..."

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What else did he say?"

Qin Daban said: "Zhao Xinghai threatened him at the time that if he didn't obey, he would destroy his whole family, so he had no choice but to..."

The emperor clapped the dragon case and said: "This Zhao Xinghai, is he such a person!"

Qin Daban said: "In fact, this matter seems to be logical, but it seems impossible..."

The emperor glanced at him: "Why is it impossible?"

Qin Daban said: "This Zhao Xinghai... I always feel that he doesn't seem to be this kind of person."

The emperor snorted: "For the sake of the position, for the merits of the dragon, what is impossible!"

Qin Daban didn't dare to say any more.

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "Zhao Xinghe is indeed trustworthy, but I will not trust his brother just because of him, especially, Zhao Xinghe is still thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, and their family may not take risks in order to maintain their status. Go, It is rumored that Zhao Xinghai met him, at least he is Zhao Xinghe's younger brother, so I will give him a chance to defend himself."

Qin Daban felt cold in his heart, so he quickly agreed and went out to make arrangements.

After a while, Zhao Xinghai hurried over.

As soon as he entered the Hall of Qinzheng, Zhao Xinghai knelt down and saluted. The emperor didn't say anything, but grabbed the teacup on the dragon case and threw it on him: "Well, you bold Zhao Xinghai!" The emperor shouted: "How dare you poison me?" , poisoned my third prince, what crime should you have!"

Zhao Xinghai was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, why did you say such a thing? I would never dare to do such a thing. Please learn from me."

The emperor said to Qin Daban, "Bring Xiaoxunzi here."

Qin Daban waved his hand, and someone brought the tied up Xiao Xunzi to the emperor.

Xiao Xunzi cried loudly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was persecuted, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Qin Daban said: "Your Majesty will make his own decision. Let's see who forced you to poison the Third Prince. Can he be here?"

Xiao Xunzi looked around and said in Zhao Xinghai's direction, "It's him, Zhao Xinghai, it's him who persecuted me..."

Zhao Xinghai was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever force you!"

Xiao Xunzi shouted: "It's you, the one who came to me with 500 taels of silver, saying that it was the eldest prince's order that the third prince must be terminated, otherwise my whole family will be wiped out... You are right. "

Zhao Xinghai was trembling with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you spout blood like this! I'll kill you right now..."

The emperor shouted: "Zhao Xinghai, you still dare to kill in public!"

Zhao Xinghai kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, our Zhao family has been loyal and good for generations, and my eldest brother is..." He suddenly came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, I can prove my innocence."

The emperor wondered: "How do you prove your innocence?"

Zhao Xinghai turned his head, looked at Xiao Xunzi, and asked, "Since you said that I gave you the bank note, you could tell when this happened?"

Xiao Xunzi thought for a while: "It's the eighth day of this month... yes, that's right, it's the eighth day of the month."

Zhao Xinghai said to the emperor: "On the eighth day of this month, I am indeed on duty in the palace, but I can prove that I have never seen Xiao Xunzi."

The emperor looked at him: "Are you so confident?"
