The little princess of space where the concubine often eats

Chapter 103

It's a pity that Qin Ming had stayed under Pei Zihua's men for a long time, and he used the tactic of not tire of cheating with great skill. After leaving the house safely, he would take away all the people who were ordered by the forbidden army outside the door, and escort them all to the prison of the Ministry of punishment for retrial.

With Qin Meier's body, there is no problem in convicting him. Ji Lingchen used the letters that Qin Meier found before his death to contact Yu Mingcheng in private. Some of them even involved the ex-prince's treason , naturally also wiped out Ji Jun Zero one by one, and sued him for privately detaining and framing the prince, but these are temporarily being held by the prince. The emperor is unwell and has not yet gone to court, but of course he knows about such a big movement, and the prince has also reported it , but the emperor's feelings for Ji Junling are complicated and difficult to distinguish. Speaking of it, he owes this younger brother, and he has made great efforts to be able to sit on the throne, but it does not mean that he can rest assured about this younger brother. In the first few years, it wasn't that he didn't think about getting rid of this younger brother directly like other brothers, but Ji Junling was very smart and took the initiative to resign from all positions and real power. As long as a prince was appointed, he would go out to visit the mountains and rivers. , Gradually listening to the return of the hidden guard, he also put out his thoughts of killing him. As he grew older these years, seeing that he had no relatives around him, and his children gradually withered, he became more and more He can't be ruthless, but he won't tolerate the threat to his throne. He has to think carefully about how he dares to go in the future. After all, the current situation is all monopolized by King Zhao, and no one in the court can shake King Zhao's position. At this time, what is King Zhao's general Ji Junling wanting to do, or is Achen behind this matter, then does he know that Concubine Yan...

For a moment the emperor flinched. He didn't know whether he was afraid that Achen would never recognize him as the emperor after he knew the truth, or he was worried that King Zhao would directly abolish himself as the emperor for the sake of brotherhood. It's ridiculous that the throne that I have planned for a lifetime is not up to me now, and I have to watch their faces. This makes the emperor unacceptable, and he doesn't want to deal with Ji Junling for a while, so he just keeps procrastinating.

The Tianzihao room in Tianlao is the most heavily guarded cell, but the high security does not mean that the environment here is the worst. On the contrary, it is quite spacious and clean, but the walls are thicker than other cells. The grid needs two more layers.

Ji Junling squatted in a corner of the cell, closed his eyes and recalled the whole process of his failure.He cultivated his life and cultivated his nature, hidden behind the scenes for decades, and acted ruthlessly with thoughtfulness and thoroughness. Up to now, he has never encountered such a tragic situation.On the surface, it seems that he was accidentally betrayed by Qin Meier, a pawn, but now that he has been betrayed, it is still impossible for people to believe that such a betrayal exists, but it is definitely the result of a master's design.

The emperor's trust in Ji Junling had dropped to a freezing point at this time, and he was so angry that he didn't even want to see Ji Junling face to face, so he only appointed Manager Liu to come over on a regular basis to ask the former emperor uncle if he would like to plead guilty.

Although the question is asked every time, in fact, even if Ji Junling is unwilling to plead guilty, there is no way to admit it, because he can't give a reason for his defense. The prince came out to testify.What's more, the crime of framing the prince is a dead end whether you admit it or not.

Once it comes to the strictness of the emperor's authority and the cruelty of the emperor's handling methods, others don't know, but Ji Junling is very clear.

The damp and moldy air in the cell passed through his nose, and Ji Junling gritted his teeth, thinking about that young man who was so fragile that he could shatter when he was pinched, but was so strong that he was frightening.When the name of Ji Lingchen God of War was first heard of by him, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a stopgap measure. The child himself managed to kill him countless times, but it might not be able to have much power. He is firmly in control of the situation in the capital, and even a general can't make much trouble for him.More importantly, he was very conceited about controlling the situation at that time. The people around the prince were basically controlled in his hands. The former princess was also a pawn in his hands. worry.

But then the situation changed rapidly.King Jing was born out of nowhere, and his rise became more and more fierce, Ji Jun zero felt a sense of crisis.Only then did we start to seriously deal with this change.But what I never expected was that it was just because I despised a person.He actually lost with one move, ruined the victory that he had held in his hands, and fell to such a point.

Ji Junling is no longer thinking about how to bring down King Jing, he is thinking about how to survive, especially when there is no response after the two papers are handed over, he must take a gamble.

At this time, the iron lock outside the cell sounded.The door was opened, left open casually.However, Ji Junling never thought of taking the opportunity to escape, because the person who dared to open the door so carelessly must be a master and someone trusted by the emperor, Manager Liu.

Although Director Liu is a eunuch, he is a master of the inner family and a top guard by the emperor's side. No one would have thought that Director Liu by the emperor's side would have such skills.

Manager Liu brought a new pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which obviously meant that the emperor was not satisfied with the suspect's latest confession.

"Ji Junling, Your Majesty's patience is limited. If you still don't confess your crime truthfully, His Majesty will have to punish you severely." Director Liu said coldly, dragging his whisk.

"It's already a capital crime, how can it be more serious?" Ji Junling stood up while supporting the stone wall. "Director Liu, what I have said in a compromise is the truth, why doesn't Your Majesty believe it?"

Manager Liu said expressionlessly: "You accuse King Jing of being a remnant of an old man from the previous dynasty. Do you have any evidence?"

"He admitted..."

"If you are an old man from the previous dynasty, would you admit it yourself? Besides, there is no reason. Why did he take the initiative to show that he is an old man from the previous dynasty in front of you? Is King Jing like a person who is stupid enough to seek death? Besides, King Jing I grew up in the palace since I was a child, is it because the emperor's own blood is the emperor's own feeling, don't you know what happened back then?" The manager Liu beside him sneered, "If you want your majesty to believe, don't just climb up Bite, let’s be honest, such as handing over the list of hidden forces.”

"I didn't rebel, let alone have power, how can I hand it over?"

"If you don't pay, you won't plead guilty?"

The interrogation fell into a strange circle like the previous few times. Ji Junling felt that he was going crazy. He took a few breaths and calmed down. Yu Mingcheng is also mine, but Qin Meier said that all the things I instigated her were all false accusations, Your Majesty can't just listen to one side! Besides, I did this so that Your Majesty would not be fooled by treacherous officials and could see Ji Lingchen's face clearly. .”

Manager Liu stared at him for a long time, his eyes were cold, "Ji Junling, thanks to King Jing, he kept talking for you, saying that you were deceived by others... Now that things are up to now, it doesn't matter if you dare to do it or not. You even want to shift the blame to others. Your Majesty gave you the opportunity to defend yourself. How can you say that you are partial to one side? Besides, Yu Mingcheng is your subordinate. Without your instructions, how can he be a small guard? Is it okay to see Qin Meier?"

The muscles on Ji Junling's face twitched involuntarily.The question asked by Mr. Liu next to him was the most difficult part for him to explain. The relationship between Yu Mingcheng and him is well known, and there has never been any news of discord between the two before. Now that they have turned their faces, it is hard to say whoever changed their faces, not to mention the reason for the turn.

"It doesn't matter if you don't plead guilty, it doesn't matter if you want to procrastinate a little longer," Manager Liu continued, "Two of your subordinates have also confessed that you once instructed them to release information into the Imperial Army to kill them all."

"I did it for the sake of destroying it in one fell swoop! I have given orders to protect the safety of the emperor, and I also placed gunpowder in the dungeon to hide hidden dangers for your majesty. Didn't they say that?"

"According to the confession, no." Manager Liu's unwavering voice sounded particularly hopeless, "After I sealed up your place, I found no trace of gunpowder in the dungeon. It was not mentioned in Yu Mingcheng's confession either. Well, do you have any other evidence to declare your innocence?"

Ji Junling turned pale for a while.On the day of the incident, he was still out of town. He didn't expect Ji Lingchen to succeed so quickly, and he didn't expect Yu Mingcheng to be so useless. A woman ruined his good plan. Those two...

"Director Liu, please report back to His Majesty, there is something wrong with the confessions of those two people, they know the gunpowder matter best, they know that I am absolutely prepared to kill those robbers..."

"It's late," Manager Liu next to him coldly extinguished Ji Junling's last hope, "It is said that these two subordinates are the people you trust the most. It is an official position of the imperial court. When they were interrogated, they kept saying that they were just obeying orders, so they were not guilty. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince reported this madness to His Majesty, and His Majesty was naturally furious. He ordered the inner prisoner to use forty heavy sticks. They did not resist and died. gone."

"Dead..." Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down Ji Junling's forehead.He took two steps forward in a daze and asked. "How come His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is judging the case?"

"This case is special. Your Majesty does not want Dali Temple to participate. Although His Highness the Seventh Prince is disabled and ignores court affairs, he is a prince after all. What's so strange about appointing him?"

Ji Junling closed his eyes.I felt that my limbs seemed to be handcuffed, and I couldn't move at all.Not long ago, the Seventh Prince was oppressed by himself because of his fight for a concubine. If he wanted to choose this time to vent his anger, it would be perfectly normal.Things in the world may be like this, the person you didn't pay attention to when you gained power may one day give you the heaviest blow, you can't even think about it, and you can't avoid it.

Manager Liu beside him stared at the man who had been cornered.The expression did not soften at all, "Ji Junling, you have today. It is really the cause of oneself, and the fruit of one's own taste. What is a brother who has lost trust to His Majesty. You know best yourself. He has become more and more serious now. The more I don't want to hear about you, the more I may not come here again. You are dead. But when you die is still undecided, but no matter how late you can't escape the autumn decision. Before that, today You will be in prison for a while. I think you should have more than this debt. Before you die, there is paper and ink here. You can think about it slowly and write slowly. There is no need to take it to the coffin and become the next generation The sins of the whole life."

After saying these words, Manager Liu never looked at Ji Junling again, turned around and left the cell, and locked the door again, leaving a quiet and almost suffocating dark space for the people inside.

After leaving the Tianzihao room, Manager Liu did not go out immediately, but turned around the corridor and came to another cell to visit Yu Mingcheng.The cell was located on the top floor, with much better air circulation and light.When Director Liu beside him entered, Yu Mingcheng was standing in the middle of the cell, looking up at a ray of pale sunlight penetrating through the high window, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the sound of the cell door.

"Yu Mingcheng, someone asked me to come and see you. Are you okay?"

Yu Mingcheng didn't answer.The sun shone on his face, his skin was transparent, and his wrinkles were clear. He squinted his eyes, as if he was counting the dust in the light.That state of pure tranquility is actually another kind of despair.

Director Liu suddenly felt speechless.What can he say about the person in front of him?Speaking of which, this person should also be a prince, and should enjoy the glory and wealth, but it is good fortune to trick others...

After being silent for a long time, Manager Liu could only ask helplessly: "Yu Mingcheng, do you have anything else to say, and who do you want to bring it to?".

Yu Mingcheng finally turned his gaze away slowly, and his bright eyes moved slightly, "No, it's like this, I don't have anything to say, the emperor asked you to ask, huh, what kind of mood is this? Boss It can't be father's love, right? Now that you know my identity, you can't do anything?"

Director Liu solemnly bowed to him, turned around and left without saying anything else, the people inside probably would never see their day, and the kindness and resentment of this life is nothing to say in front of death, but it is It's nothing but the royal family's sorrow, no one can stop it, I can only blame myself for being born in the royal family.

The top priority now is to catch the hidden piles that Ji Junling has planted in the capital over the years. Looking at the ministers who were caught, he knows that there are not many people who have taken refuge in him in the entire capital.

There are also some hidden guards who can't hold on, revealing that Ji Junling secretly trained a large number of women and sent them to the backyards of various ministers. You must know that bedside wind is indispensable, and those things in the backyard do not seem to be good. It’s not obvious but it’s very important. Just look at Qin Mei’er and the prince. It’s just that these people are the most difficult to find. The list was broken down one by one, and for a moment they fell into a stalemate, Ji Junling refused to plead guilty, the emperor deliberately delayed, and some courtiers around him began to move around.
