The Maverick Consort - Chapter 581
Yuan Jin looked at him with a smile and asked, “if the king is right, Yuan Tao, the unworthy son of the third prince, who was expelled from his house many years ago by the king’s grandfather?”
The third prince was stunned. Only then did he understand what yuan Jin wanted to do with him. Yuan Tao was indeed expelled from his family and removed from the genealogy. Even at the beginning, Lao Yan Wang personally cleaned up the door. For Yu Yan’s palace, he was a sinner.
But yuan Tao didn’t break the law and was not a sinner of the great Xuan Kingdom, so even if he was around him, he couldn’t help it. Moreover, it was undeniable that so many people saw yuan Tao standing behind them.
The third prince turned around in his heart, and then replied, “it’s really yuan Tao? He is now a subordinate of the king. Although yuan Tao has nothing to do with the king’s house, he is also a capable man. Why, the king cherishes talent, and the king will also take care of it? Since he has been expelled from the king’s house, the king naturally can’t take care of his fate.”
“Nature can’t control it. It’s just the third prince. Since Yuan Tao is your subordinate, he should follow your orders, right?”
The third prince frowned and felt that Yuan Jin had a pit. But it’s true. There’s nothing wrong with it.
So he nodded hesitantly, “yes.”
Just the next moment, Yuan Jin’s eyes suddenly became sharp and asked in a deep voice, “so, Yuan Tao colluded with the state of Urumqi to murder the emperor, with the intention of provoking a war between the great Xuan state and the great powers and subverting the foundation of the state, which was also ordered by the three princes?”
“!” the third prince raised his head in amazement, “what are you talking about?”
The others also looked at the Yan king and took a cold breath.
Collusion with foreign enemies? It’s a big sin.
Xuanwu emperor’s face also sank down and looked at the third prince severely.
The sweat on the forehead of the third prince came down. He eagerly explained, “you are full of nonsense. How can the king collude with the state of Urumqi? You, you, you want to pour the dirty water from the assassination of your father emperor on the king. His heart can be punished.”
Yuan Jin took two steps towards him and looked at him coldly, “I’m talking nonsense? The three princes might as well have a look at this.”
Then he threw several letters in front of him and began to sneer, “didn’t the three princes think that the female envoy’s house was the real murderer of the emperor by virtue of several letters? Those letters only need to be seen by the people in the Imperial Academy to know whether they are true or false. I also have several letters here. It’s better for the three princes to see them first and then let the ministers in the Imperial Academy test whether they are true.”
The third prince turned pale and picked up the envelope on the ground in some confusion.
The words inside are actually very simple and obscure. A rough look is just a simple home letter. But as long as you look down obliquely, it is a complete sentence. The third prince has a deep understanding of these obscure conversation secret letters, so he can find something strange at a glance.
He wanted to deny that these things could not prove yuan Tao’s crime, maybe it was just a coincidence.
But yuan Jin said in a low voice, “this letter was sent from an inn in Liangzhou. I asked someone to verify it. The innkeeper of that inn is the prince of the kingdom of Urumqi. If the third prince still doesn’t admit it, I’ll ask the innkeeper to come and have a look. It’s just that the king has caught someone.”
Since seeing the second master of yuan appear around the third prince, Yuan Jin has been checking where the second master of yuan is all these years. It was not until a few days ago that the exact news came to him. Fortunately, Liangzhou was not far from the capital. He directly asked someone to catch the shopkeeper’s.
Before the third prince could speak, the emperor had taken the lead in calmly saying, “escort the shopkeeper to me.”
Yuan Jin quickly sent someone to go. The shopkeeper was tied up and threw it to the third prince.
As soon as the third prince’s pupil contracted, Yuan Jin smiled, “it seems that the third prince knows the shopkeeper?”
“I, I, I don’t know, I don’t know anything.”
Xuanwu emperor’s eyes were getting darker and darker. He also saw the difference of the third prince just now.
He turned to see the shopkeeper. He was even more annoyed when he saw his face dissatisfied. Just as I was about to open my mouth, I suddenly felt dizzy. The whole person couldn’t work hard and suddenly fell back.
Mo Weinong was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Seeing this, he hurriedly called, “senior brother!”
“Emperor!” the others shouted in panic.
Tang Ziji, who had been standing nearby and regarded himself as transparent, came forward quickly, put his finger on his wrist and said a moment later, “it’s all right, but the emperor has just cleared the poison and his body is still very weak. Now his blood is surging up, resulting in dizziness and tinnitus. The emperor needs to rest, or don’t be too excited and work hard. If there is anything, you have to wait until your body is well.”
The queen said hurriedly, “emperor, you just woke up. You really shouldn’t work too hard. It’s the same to tell others to do anything.”
Xuanwu emperor closed his eyes. He was really uncomfortable. His chest was stuffy and uncomfortable. It seemed that his head swelled when he was excited.
After a while, he closed his eyes and whispered, “the matter of the old three should be handed over to the king Cheng and the Ministry of punishment for evidence collection and trial, and the old three should be taken down.”
Then he waved his hand and fell weakly on the big pillow.
Cheng Wang was stunned, but he quickly reacted. To say that these things are most suitable for trial is yanwang. After all, he caught the shopkeeper, but he still has to avoid suspicion after all.
So he stepped forward and saluted, “minister leads the order.”
The Minister of punishment also hurriedly said, “the minister leads the decree.”
The third prince was stunned. What do you mean? The father thought he was treason? No, how is that possible?
He hurriedly climbed to the bed with his hands and feet, “father, my son is wronged. My son doesn’t know about it at all. My son was framed, father…”
He wanted to come forward, but the Xuanwu Emperor didn’t want to talk to him.
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly said to the servants in the hall, “what are you doing? Pull down the idle king.”
“Yes.”
Soon three or four people came forward and dragged the third prince out.
The third prince desperately struggled to get close to the bed, “father, father…”
Xuanwu emperor waved a little tired. At this time, he didn’t even speak very loudly, “let’s all step back.”
“OK.” Mo Weinong tucked in the quilt corner for him and said to the prince’s ministers in the inner hall and outside, “the emperor is going to rest. You all go back first. Come back when the emperor is healthy.”
“I’m going to leave.” they hurriedly and carefully walked out.
Yu Narcissus also mixed in the crowd, lowered his head, tried to reduce his sense of existence, and moved out bit by bit.
Just as she moved to the door of the temple, a light hissing voice suddenly came behind her, “where is concubine Yu? Have you forgotten something?”
