Reborn as a farmhouse concubine, she raises a prince and is busy farming

Chapter 274 Begging for mercy
He was still quibbling, trying to mitigate his crime: "Father, I am your son. The so-called evidence was only brought back by the third brother. You have no way of knowing whether it is true or false. If you decide that I am guilty based on these pieces of paper, , then I am unwilling and I will never plead guilty!”

Even though death was imminent, the sixth prince was still stubborn.

Yuan Jing was thinking in his mind at this moment, if his sixth brother died one day, even if he was burned into ashes, he would still have a hard mouth.

The emperor sneered: "Old Liu, don't be so smart. Your third brother had already sent the prisoner to the capital. He was interrogated overnight in the sky jail and the prisoner had already spit out the evidence of his crime. I just finished reading it last night. I didn’t expect you to bite me to death today. I don’t admit it. Fortunately, I didn’t sleep last night, otherwise I would have been fooled by you.”

"Even without these witnesses, do you really think that I will believe the lies you tell me? What did you two do behind my back? Do you really think that I am a fool?"

After finishing speaking, the old emperor patted the table again.

At this moment, the second prince couldn't help it anymore and fell to his knees directly on the ground. He and Lao Liu knelt one after another.

No one expected that when the storm was about to come, things would happen so quickly. Yuan Jing really got the chance.

Before that, the people they sent clearly kept a close eye on Yuan Jing, but they didn't expect that he would actually have an opportunity.

The second prince originally thought that his people had been following Yuan Jing, how could Yuan Jing have the chance to send the prisoner to the capital?
Even if it really had to be sent back, his people would have informed him of the news in advance.

Thinking of this, the second prince felt cold all over. Could it be that all the people he sent...

Indeed, he sent several groups of people to assassinate Yuan Jing. He originally thought that Yuan Jing had arrived in the capital, but his men had no chance, so they hid.

Looking at it now, that group of people has probably been dealt with by Yuan Jing. After all, they haven't replied to him for a long time, and no one will come to him.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jing not only came back alive because of this opportunity, but also brought back all the prisoners.

Thinking of this, the second prince felt like a deflated rubber ball.

At this moment, Ou Yu suddenly came in from outside.

"See Your Majesty."

"Since Wei Chen's interrogation in the early morning, the criminal has revealed almost everything. This is the testimony."

Ou Yu presented the things, which frightened the second prince.

Ou Yu, isn't this Yuan Jing's mortal enemy? Why are these two people actually on the same side now?

The two of them have never been on good terms, and no one can tolerate the other. It turns out that the only uncertain factor in this incident is Ou Yu.

He was rebelled against by Yuan Jing, so he sided with Yuan Jing, which led to the defeat of the second and sixth princes.

And the most important point is that the emperor used to not show his reprimands to outsiders, but now Ou Yu can actually enter and exit the hall at will.

Does this also mean that Ou Yu has an important position in the emperor's heart?
Here, Ou Yu told the emperor the news of what he had experienced along the way in front of several princes.

Including the results of last night's interrogation and the information he secretly investigated.

After the second prince and the sixth prince listened, they realized that Ou Yu was also a member of the emperor.

I deliberately opposed Lao San before, just to give them an illusion and show the disharmony between the two in front of everyone.

It turns out that this is a trap, just waiting for the second and sixth princes to jump into it.

The people they sent never returned, and it was all Ou Yu's work. He secretly solved the problem and sent people back with some false news.

This gave the second prince the illusion that he could succeed. It turned out that it was Ou Yu who was causing trouble.

Who would have thought that after he sent out so many people in succession, not a single one came back. And no matter how smart Yuan Jing is, he wouldn't have been able to come back so smoothly without Ou Yu's help.

Thinking of this, the second prince suddenly smiled.

Now that the evidence is in front of him, everything is a foregone conclusion, he lost.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at myself. Since my father has suspected me for a long time, why not kill me long ago? Why spend so much effort investigating? Anyway, the final result will be the same."

"I will not kill you. You are so cruel to kill brothers. I am not as good as you. I will not kill my own son. Someone will put the second prince in a prison and demote him to a commoner. He will be under strict supervision."

After making this decision, the emperor sent people to do it. Not only the second prince, but also his family members and cronies were imprisoned.

The maids who usually served him were sold into slavery.

The eunuch on the side didn't expect that the emperor would be so cruel, and his eyes widened.

But he obeyed the emperor's will, and the second prince committed a serious crime, so it was good to be able to save one life.

It can be seen that the emperor is really angry.

"Your Majesty, I am your son. Do you really want to demote me to a commoner? Are you going to lock me in a prison?"

The emperor didn't say anything, but Ou Yu spoke first.

"I said, Second Prince, what else do you have to quibble with? Which of the things you have done to ordinary people is not a serious crime of decapitation? Locking you up is already His Majesty's greatest kindness. Just be content with it. !”

He is right, ordinary people have no privileges. If they commit a crime, they will be punished by the queen.

The emperor was able to be tolerant to the second prince because he already thought about the relationship between father and son. He didn't like this son very much, just because "a tiger's poison cannot eat its own children", and he didn't want to bear the reputation of being cruel.

"What you do is reselling weapons, buying and selling illegal salt, secretly digging for iron ore, and killing brothers. Now you still have the nerve to plead for mercy?"

Ou Yu looked cynical, even in front of the old emperor, he was a little casual.

However, he still had respect for the emperor, and his statement was just a representation of the common people.

The emperor felt that what he said made sense, so he sent someone to do it.

At the same time, someone in the harem also knew the news that the second prince and the sixth prince were summoned by the emperor.

After the second prince's biological mother learned the news, not to mention how anxious she was, she quickly changed her clothes and walked forward.

The palace maid stopped her: "My dear concubine, you are weak. Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm looking at my second son. Such a big thing happened, and you didn't tell anyone about it?"

She was the last to know.

"My prince, if something happens to you, how will I survive?"

Not to mention how worried the imperial concubine was, she didn't expect such a big thing to happen, and no one around her told her.

It can be seen that this matter was the emperor's intention. The emperor must have made a lot of determination to do it so ruthlessly.

The maids were still unwilling to let him go because the emperor's father-in-law told them not to let the imperial concubine know about it.
