Pingyang Hou Mansion kept this matter extremely secret at the beginning, and they indeed played a role in instigating the relationship between the emperor and Prince An's Mansion.
But with the destruction of the entire Prince An's Mansion, these things have long been turned into a cup of dust, and it is impossible for anyone to know about it.
Seeing that Li Huang was speaking as if he was present in person, he couldn't help but ask.
Li Huang sneered: "So it really does happen."
Gu Chenzhou's expression changed. Was he deceived?
But Li Huang didn't bother to look at him again, and turned to look at Mo Jingzhan: "Do you believe him or me?"
Mo Jingzhan reached out and held her hand, and said without thinking, "I believe you."
The two people looked at each other, as if there was a thread pulling at them, which made Gu Chenzhou's eyes hurt.
"You two, did you do this on purpose?"
Li Huang then gave him a look of relief: "Gu Chenzhou, you are already on the verge of death, yet you dare to sow discord between Prince An's palace and the royal family."
"Everyone in Prince An's Mansion is dead, but there are no staff in Prince An's Mansion. You don't think that the things you did are seamless, right?"
With that said, she clapped her hands outside.
Not long after, a dragon guard led a man in blue robes in.
As soon as the man came in, he saluted Mo Jingzhan: "My subordinate Jiang Wen has met the Crown Prince."
When Mo Jingzhan saw Jiang Wen, there wasn't much surprise on his face, as if he had already controlled everything.
He said calmly: "There is no need to be polite. Since you are still alive, then come and tell Prince Gu why Prince An's Mansion was destroyed?"
The moment Gu Chenzhou saw Jiang Wen, he knew the situation was over.
Jiang Wen is an aide in Prince An's Mansion and the most powerful confidant around Prince An. Nothing about Prince An's Mansion will be hidden from him.
They had been searching for him for a long time, but could not find his whereabouts. They thought he had escaped from the abyss.
But I never thought that this person has been dormant in Sanzhou.
He was careless.
"Yes." Jiang Wen turned to look at Gu Chenzhou, who was sitting on the ground, and pointed at him angrily, "This is the person. He has placed people in Prince An's Mansion time and again to sow discord between Prince An's Mansion and the royal family, saying that they are enclosing land here for
King, your Majesty has been afraid of this for a long time, and has long wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of it quickly."
"Later, the secret letters of collaborating with the enemy were found, and the people he bribed took the opportunity to apply eye drops in front of the prince, saying that all this was arranged by his majesty."
"Your Majesty was dubious, so they sent someone to falsely convey the imperial decree. Your Majesty wanted to go to Beijing to explain it to your Majesty in person, but spies in the palace had already poisoned the well water. All of the hundreds of people in Prince An's mansion died that night.
.”
"If I hadn't realized that something was not going well and had made plans earlier, I would have reported to the underworld with the prince by now."
Thinking of those things back then, Jiang Wen was still furious. He looked at Gu Chenzhou and wished he could cut him with a thousand knives.
Prince An's Mansion has been guarding the border of Dayuan for generations in the land of Three Continents, and Prince An has made countless military exploits in the past generations.
But they did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of such insidious villains.
He really felt unworthy of them!
Gu Chenzhou's face turned pale. He never expected that Prince An's Mansion might have slipped through the net.
When he ransacked his house, he didn't spare even a single maid or servant.
All the staff who had anything to do with Prince An's Mansion were eliminated by him for various reasons.
"I didn't expect you to be alive." Gu Chenzhou smiled miserably, "Since you have found out everything, why bother asking me?"
Jiang Wen raised his hand and pulled out the knife from the waist of the Dragon Guard next to him, and slashed it directly at Gu Chenzhou's finger.
"ah--"
The bloody index finger was cut off, and Gu Chenzhou looked hideous.
He didn't expect that in front of Li Huang and Mo Jingzhan, a mere staff member of his would dare to do anything to him.
Jiang Wen handed the knife back to the Dragon Guard, turned around and clasped his fists at Li Huang and Mo Jingzhan: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, I am very angry at the moment. I hope you two can forgive me."
Thinking that among so many colleagues, he was the only one still alive, how could Jiang Wen still hold back?
Li Huang gave him a weak hand: "What crime is Master Jiang guilty of? I can understand your feelings. Since Gu Chenzhou has admitted it, then write a confession and let him draw a bond."
She didn't even bother to look at the man in front of her.
If we resolve the matter earlier, we can settle a major issue in Mo Jingzhan's heart earlier.
Jiang asked the hand of the confessor and said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have already finished writing the confession, just press his signature to seal it."
Gu Chenzhou's eyes widened, he covered his severed finger and struggled, "I have not confessed, you are just subduing me and trying to convict me. I don't accept it!"
Li Huang glared at him: "Shut up! When you convicted Prince An's Mansion, why didn't you use all possible means?"
"If you have to give an explanation to the outside world, do you think I care about your confession and your signature?"
Now that Pingyang Marquis Mansion has been destroyed, Prince An's Mansion was framed without any evidence. If there is no oral confession or physical evidence, wouldn't it mean that the world would say that they abused the imperial power?
If Prince An's Mansion wants to be clean, it must be completely clean.
With her protecting him so forcefully and domineeringly, Mo Jingzhan's heart felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, warm and sweet.
He held her wrist and said warmly: "Let's go, let them solve it themselves."
He didn't want Li Huang to say another word to Gu Chenzhou, a lowly man.
Li Huang had no intention of staying here any longer, so he held his hand instead and strode out of the prison with him.
Gu Chenzhou looked at her retreating back, and suddenly felt extremely empty inside, as if there was something that he couldn't hold on to anymore.
He struggled and shouted: "Huang'er~"
Li Huang's eyes sharpened, and he ordered to the Dragon Guard behind him: "Teach Prince Gu well the way of a king and a minister."
The Dragon Guard responded and turned around, heading back towards the cell.
Gu Chenzhou panicked and shouted: "No, Mo Jingzhan said he would let me live, are you going to go back on your word?"
Mo Jingzhan paused, turned his head, and looked at him expressionlessly: "My lordship said that I would let you live, but if others want to kill you, my lordship will not stop you."
For example, Jiang Wen was standing next to him at the moment, looking at him with hatred.
Gu Chenzhou's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Mo Jingzhan pulled Li Huang out of the dungeon. As soon as he returned to the garrison, Luo Tong came in excitedly to report.
"Your Highness, Young Master, the entrance to the underground passage has been found. There are two within five miles. Master Xiao said not to enter hastily, lest someone will block you in and unable to get out. Let the future come to ask for instructions on how to deal with it?
"
When Mo Jingzhan heard this, he subconsciously looked at Li Huang.
He had seen it with his own eyes, but just from what Li Huang said, he knew that the water inside was very deep and it was indeed not advisable to go deep.
