East Palace.

In the main hall.

As Yun Qi's last words came out, Zhu Biao's expression also changed, and he seemed to understand Hu Fei's intention.

"How do you know that His Majesty will go to the Hu family's old house to watch Liquan on the Lantern Festival?!"

Hu Fei looked at the frightened Yun Qi and asked lightly.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Yun Qi, who had been pleading to Zhu Biao, was suddenly shocked again, immediately closed his mouth, and his eyes widened in horror.

He has realized that he made a mistake.

"Now that things have happened, you still haven't taken it seriously?!"

Hu Fei looked at Yun Qi who was staying on the spot, snorted coldly, and said lightly.

Now he can confirm one thing, that is, Hu Weiyong was not the first person to know about the unexpected appearance of Liquan in the old house. Someone had known about it before him, and it was expected that he would definitely invite Zhu Yuanzhang to watch.

"Jiu'an Hou, what grudge does this slave have against you? Why do you want to accuse me so unjustly?"

Yun Qi looked at Hu Fei with a sad face and said aggrievedly, still choosing to play dumb.

"Okay, since you don't say it, I will say it for you."

Hu Fei sneered, looked at Yun Qi disdainfully, and said lightly.

"When the Lantern Festival comes, His Majesty will leave the palace in person and go to the Hu family's old house, and you will appear at the critical moment, stop His Majesty inside the Xihua Gate, and claim that my father has secretly laid an ambush in the old house.

, intending to kill the king and usurp the throne when His Majesty arrives at the Hu family’s old residence!”

"When His Majesty finds out, he will be furious. The entire Hu family will be implicated, and I will naturally not be able to escape this disaster! You said you have no grudges against the Hu family, so why are you so resentful towards the Hu family?!"

Hu Fei looked at Yun Qi and said word by word.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Yun Qi's face instantly turned pale. He looked at Hu Fei in disbelief, his eyes blank.

"But no one except the people in the Hu family knew about the miracle of Liquan in the old house of the Hu family. Where did you learn about it? And it turns out that you knew about Liquan earlier than my father, otherwise it would not have been possible in advance.

Plan it all.”

"The person who really wants to plot a rebellion is you, not the Hu family."

Hu Fei looked at Yun Qi and added.

"Yunqi! Now that the matter has come to this, why don't we just bring it in!?"

Zhu Biao stared coldly at Yun Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted sternly, his face full of anger.

He never imagined that an internal envoy of the Xihua Sect would dare to join forces with thieves to plot to frame the prime minister of the dynasty and play with his father!

But he also understood that a mere envoy from the Xihua Sect did not have such great ability. There must be someone behind the scenes, and this person was definitely someone from the government.

"Your Highness, this servant is wronged!"

"What Hu Fei said is completely conjecture and has no real evidence. Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to make the decision for me!"

Yunqi was crying and begging, making his final struggle.

"Your Highness, the minister has found out that someone has met Yun Qi several times in private, and it must be related to this matter. All he needs to do is arrest that person and have them confront him. Whoever speaks first will be remembered.

Just one success, just let him live for the time being!"

Hu Fei bowed his hands and said to Zhu Biao.

"Who are you talking about?"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

"This person is..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! It was the Inspector Mao Xiang who secretly instigated the slave to do this! It was not the slave who wanted to murder Prime Minister Hu, but the Inspector!"

Just as Hu Fei was about to speak, Yun Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, finally gave up all resistance and spoke loudly.

After listening to Yun Qi's words, Hu Fei stopped talking and sneered in his heart.

But after listening to Yun Qi's words, Zhu Biao stood up from the couch, his face changed drastically.

School inspection is involved and it is of great importance!

"Yunqi, you better know what you are talking about?! Is this really related to school inspection?!"

Zhu Biao calmed down the shock in his heart, stared at Yun Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and asked seriously.

"His Royal Highness, everything the servant said is true. It was indeed the inspector who secretly instigated the servant to do this!"

"A few days ago, the school captain Mao Xiang suddenly found the servant and said that the wonder of Liquan suddenly appeared in the Hu family's old house. At that time, Prime Minister Hu will definitely come to the palace to inform His Majesty, and will invite Your Majesty to go to the Hu family's old house to watch it!"

"Mao Xiang threatened the slaves that when His Majesty leaves the palace, he will stop him no matter what, and tell His Majesty that Prime Minister Hu has secretly set up an ambush in the old house with the intention of killing the king and usurping the throne!"

"This slave deserves to die. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will spare my life for the sake of my true confession."

Yun Qi knelt on the ground and said in detail.

After listening to Yun Qi's self-narration, Zhu Biao's face was solemn and his eyes were full of anger. He did not expect that the inspector would dare to murder an important official in the court without telling his father.

After hearing Yun Qi's words, Hu Fei couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that things were surprisingly similar to historical records.

It's just that the records about this incident in history are not so clear. Some people in later generations have analyzed that Yunqi was indeed instructed by others, but the person who instigated was not the inspector, but the person who cared most about his hegemonic status.

people.

Hu Fei was not sure whether this incident had anything to do with Zhu Yuanzhang.

But even though I wasn't sure, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous and send chills down my spine.

"How can the inspector be sure that Prime Minister Hu will definitely enter the palace and invite the emperor to the Hu family's old house to view the Liquan? What if he doesn't go?"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, looked at Yun Qi coldly and asked.

"Mao Xiang said that even if Mr. Hu doesn't go, the inspector will report the appearance of Liquan to His Majesty. The appearance of Liquan must be a wonder. When the time comes, Your Majesty will definitely summon Mr. Hu to ask. Even if Mr. Hu doesn't invite, Your Majesty will.

will go."

After hearing Zhu Biao's question, Yun Qi said without thinking.

"You are so brave, you actually dare to plot to frame the prime minister of the dynasty and deceive your father! You deserve to die!"

Zhu Biao glared at Yun Qi and said fiercely, his face full of anger.

"Your Highness, please spare your life! Can't you avoid the death penalty by confessing voluntarily? Your Highness..."

Yun Qi looked at Zhu Biao in horror and begged in horror.

"Xiao Qi, go to the school health center immediately and arrest Mao Xiang! I will go to the Yangxin Hall to report this matter to my father!"

Zhu Biao gritted his teeth and then shouted sharply at Xiao Qi.

"yes!"

Xiao Qi agreed and immediately turned around and walked out.

"Wait a moment!"

But at this moment, Hu Fei suddenly stood up and stopped Zhu Biao loudly.

"What's the matter?!"

Zhu Biao, who was about to leave the palace and go straight to the Yangxin Hall, stopped and turned to look at Hu Fei with a gloomy expression.

"Your Highness, please take this person down first. I have something to say to Your Highness alone."

Hu Fei glanced at Yun Qi who was kneeling on the ground and said slowly.

"Xiao Qi, lock this person up first!"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Qi and ordered.

Xiao Qi agreed and immediately took Yun Qi down.

"What do you want to say? Just say it."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. I cannot tell your Majesty this matter."

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Biao and said seriously.

"Why?!"

Zhu Biao frowned and asked in confusion.

"After all, this matter involves the school inspection, which is of great importance. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be serious! Therefore, it is better not to tell His Majesty until the truth is completely found out."

"Moreover, if we want to arrest Mao Xiang, we cannot send Xiao Qi there. After all, the school inspector has a special status. No matter whether someone in the school is causing trouble, the East Palace cannot interfere. Once he interferes, it will be a challenge to the imperial power, and His Majesty will definitely be displeased. And

It will inevitably cause criticism from others and will be of no benefit to His Royal Highness."

"Therefore, the matter of arresting people should be left to Wei Chen. Your Highness can rest assured that Wei Chen will live up to His Highness's expectations and will get to the bottom of this matter."

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Biao and said righteously.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown. He didn't think deeply because he was angry just now. But when he heard what Hu Fei said, he suddenly felt it made sense.
