Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 233

Su Manzhen was so angry that she almost rushed out and scratched the flower prince's face!She had done everything she could to swallow her anger and throw herself into her arms, but the prince was like a stone and didn't react at all!

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.When returning to the east courtyard, Su Manzhen gritted her teeth and thought.She had been prepared to betray the family before, wanting to show her grandfather and father that she was capable of saving the Su family.At this time, Su Manzhen's determination to fight for a good future for herself fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Returning to the East Side Hall, Su Manzhen took out a stack of letters from the box.This was given to her by Concubine Su. They were all letters between the prince and Prince Taiping.She only needed to put these letters into the prince's study, and she would have evidence of rebellion between the prince and the rebels.Anyway, King Taiping is dead, so the prince can only say nothing.

"Your Highness, I must make you regret throwing away my hand!" Su Manzhen's face became particularly ferocious due to excitement.

"Qiao'er! The prince has left the outer study. You go now and put all these letters in his drawer. Before I came out just now, I took off a bracelet and put it on the soft couch. If someone catches me, I will He said I asked you to go look for the bracelet." Su Manzhen said word by word.She knew that once she let go of the letter, she would have no way out and could not regret it.

Qiaoer didn't dare to express her anger. Although she didn't know what was written in these letters, she knew that it would never be a good thing.Qiaoer held the letter in her arms and walked out of the door cautiously.Not long after, Qiaoer came back with Su Manzhen's bracelet.

Early the next morning, Su Manzhen went out to Concubine Su's palace to pay her respects.She deliberately did not pull up her long hair like the ladies in the palace, but let her long hair hang loosely behind her like a girl before.

"Aunt, Manzhen has put all those things in the drawer of the prince's study as you asked." Su Manzhen said with a smile.

Concubine Su glanced at Su Manzhen in the mirror and said meaningfully: "It took two days. I thought that if a girl is outgoing and sleeps with the prince, your heart will become his."

"No!" Su Manzhen quickly denied: "Aunt, for the sake of cousin Cousin, Manzhen is still in perfect condition. Don't forget what you said before."

Concubine Su laughed: "You are such a beauty, and the prince is not attracted to you? Don't worry, after today, he will not be able to control his heart. Your cousin will listen to me in everything, you If you help him, I will not treat you badly."

She put down the hairpin in her hand and said, "Go back. After the dust has settled in two days, I will ask them to write a divorce letter for you. You can just wait in the Prince's Mansion with peace of mind. If anything happens, report back." "

Concubine Su asked the chamberlain to whisper a few words, and he made a promise and hurried up to the main hall.

The early dynasty has not yet dispersed, and the ministers are listening to Wan Qing bragging about his great achievements in the Jingxiang Mountains.Wu Dezhong walked to Cao Baoli and whispered. Cao Baoli nodded with a smile and winked at Wan Qing below.

Wan Qing knew that the matter was done, so he took out a few letters from his arms and said: "In this encirclement and suppression of Li Li, Wei Chen also found several letters from Li Li's residence. The matter is of great importance, and Wei Chen does not dare to make the decision. Please take a look at it, Mr. Cao!”

The little chamberlain took the letter and handed it to Cao Baoli.When Cao Baoli opened it, his face suddenly changed color.He handed the letter to Tian Jun smoothly, with a cold light in his eyes, he stared at Xie Ruitang in the hall and asked: "Prince! Do you know your guilt?!"

Although Xie Ruitang didn't know what was written in the letter, looking at this situation, he couldn't help but feel shocked: This scene is so familiar!The prince in his previous life, his second brother Xie Ruiji, was accused of treason precisely because of several letters that confirmed his collusion with Cheng Yu and Cheng Hanbai.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: In the reincarnation of heaven, it turns out that no matter who the master of the East Palace is, he can still escape the fate of being framed by Luo Zhi!

"What crime am I guilty of?" the prince said calmly.

Since Cao Baoli and Wan Qing came prepared, Xie Ruitang can only take one step and watch one step now.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! You should never collude with the rebellious party, intending to overthrow the current emperor and seek to seize the throne!" Wan Qing said sadly: "These letters are the letters you wrote to Li Li. Write a letter asking him to cause chaos in Hubei, and you take the opportunity to seize the imperial power in the capital." What kind of logic?There was an uproar in the court.

Shen An, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came out and said: "There must be something fishy about this matter. The prince is already the crown prince, why would he collude with a traitor in a remote mountainous area? It cannot be justified both emotionally and rationally. I suggest that Dali Temple investigate this matter strictly!"

Fan Yongcheng, Secretary of the Ministry of War, also came out and said: "In this encirclement and suppression, deputy general Cheng Hanbai made great contributions. He and the prince are related by marriage. The prince definitely has no reason to join forces with the bandits and suppress the bandits with one hand."

Ye Jiquan, who had just been appointed as the Minister of Punishment, said with a smile: "Perhaps this is the prince's attempt to hide his identity from others?"

The prince said: "Cao Baoli, with just a few letters, we can't tell whether this letter was written by Gu, let alone using it to punish Gu!"

At this time, a group of royal guards came outside the palace, and the leader, Hou Zhengxiong, presented a stack of letters: "This is to inform Mr. Cao. Just now, I was ordered to search the palace. I found this letter in the palace of the prince. It was a letter written by the rebel leader Li Li to the prince. .The prince colluded with the rebellious party, it is written clearly in the letter!"

As soon as he heard "Search the Palace", the prince was in a state of confusion: Begonia!How is Haitang doing in the palace?When disaster strikes, how will she deal with it alone in the East Palace?Someone must have put these letters in the palace in advance, but no helpers from outside the palace can come in...

He must buy himself time.

I only heard Cao Baoli say: "Rebellion is a capital crime, and the prince is no exception! Now the prince has colluded with the rebels. There are personal letters as evidence. The evidence is conclusive. Someone is coming to imprison the prince..."

"Master Cao!" The prince interrupted him: "What you just said is that the autographed letter written by Li Li to Gu is true?"

"The letter is here, of course it is true!"

"Ke Gu heard that Li Li didn't know Chinese characters. Even his own name was only learned after he became king. If this is true or not, we will find out if we go to the local area!" The prince said with a smile.

While chatting at Shanghong's farm, Shanghong told him that Li Li was illiterate and even his name was taught to him by Liu Biao later, so Liu Biao looked down on him very much.

Cao Baoli was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect this to happen.He justified himself by saying, "He can't write, so why not find someone to write for him?"

"Then there will also be people writing for me?" the prince asked again.

"Lord Cao! The prince's rebellion is a serious crime, and we want to meet the emperor!" Sun Yang from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came out to kneel down.As soon as he took the lead, everyone in the hall knelt down.

Cao Baoli didn't want to cause trouble, so he took a step back and said: "Although a thorough investigation is still needed, the prince's suspicion is unavoidable. Tian Jun, drafted an imperial edict and sent the prince to Lingxiaotai for confinement until evidence is found. During the confinement, no one is allowed to approach! Retreat!"

The Jin Yiwei who came in just now immediately surrounded the prince, and Hou Zhengxiong made an inviting gesture:
"His Royal Highness, you have offended me so much!"
