The fate of the world's beauty

Chapter 495 Confrontation in front of the palace ([-])

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help casting suspicious glances at Baili Zhao.

Baili Zhao suddenly felt the emperor's gaze, knelt down, and said, "Father, my son was wronged, and my son's words are true, please learn from me."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Zhaoer, get up."

Only then did Bai Lizhao stand up.

At this moment, the empress's mournful cry came from outside the palace, and the cries came from far to near, and soon, the empress broke in from outside the palace in pain.

Followed by several eunuchs, when they saw the emperor, they knelt down in unison.

As soon as the queen came in, she knelt down in front of the emperor with a thud, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, please forgive Zhaoer. If Zhaoer has committed any crimes, please let the emperor grant the death of my concubine. If the concubine does not want to Seeing the emperor make a painful decision."

Seeing the queen crying, the emperor was very upset, but since the queen came, the emperor saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, her hair was disheveled, and there was still a little blood on her neck, and his heart was also moved.

What's more, at this moment, he was very hesitant, so he didn't scold the queen in public, but just watched coldly without saying a word.

And Wei Ling knelt aside and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country, and treason is a serious crime. How can you not confront the Crown Prince face-to-face and sentence the Crown Prince to a felony? Therefore, please also invite the Emperor to send His Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace to meet King Xiang." The prisoner captured by His Highness entered the palace to confront him."

Bai Lizhao looked at Concubine Yue, and Concubine Yue immediately said, "The emperor has just woken up, and you make the emperor work so hard, is this what you should do as courtiers?"

Wei Ling glanced at Concubine Yue, bowed his head and said, "The crown prince is the crown prince of the country. Whether the crown prince is guilty or not, who else can convict the crown prince for His Royal Highness except the emperor?"

Seeing that his concubine and the prime minister were fighting each other, the emperor was very unhappy, and said: "Your concubine, what the prime minister said is reasonable, and I really want to hear what the crown prince has to say." After saying that, he stopped looking at the noble concubine Yue and turned his head. Xiang Fangfu said: "Tell the prince to enter the palace."

Fang Fu took the order to leave, and the emperor said again: "Come here." Immediately, two guards stood up from the left and right.

The emperor said: "Immediately go to the prison to commit crimes in front of me. I want to see for myself who has the guts to assassinate me."

Hearing the emperor's order, Wei Ling and Nan Jiye heaved a sigh of relief. Nan Jiye pondered for a moment, and just to be on the safe side, he said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yun and my ministers have been guarding outside the Crown Prince's East Palace these days. Please also invite His Royal Highness King Yun to enter the palace to testify."

The emperor also ordered to go down immediately, passing King Yun into the palace.

Because he wanted to bring prisoners, the emperor got up from the dragon couch and went to the side hall outside the bedroom with everyone. The emperor sat upright and waited for the arrival of the crown prince, King Yun and the key criminals from the prison.

After a while, King Yun came first. Seeing that there were so many people in the side hall, King Yun methodically saluted the emperor first, and then saluted the empress and concubine Yue respectively.

After a while, the prince limped in.

When the queen saw the way the prince was walking, she burst into tears again.

The emperor saw the prince walking in in such a state of embarrassment. The prince was not only inconvenient in his legs and feet, but his face was also very haggard, as if he had suffered a serious illness. No one could connect such a son with the person behind the plot who plotted to assassinate the emperor.

The emperor looked at the prince with complicated emotions.
