Even though Master Deyun said that Ye Xingyue defeated his father and husband, he still liked Ye Xingyue.
Your Highness, of course, is interested in Ye Jingrong.
"A Tian, do you believe in the people of Fengyi Tianxia?"
Baili Hengtian thought for a moment, "Frankly speaking, I didn't believe it at first. However, the authority of the Imperial Master makes people have to believe it.
"If Fengyi Tianxia's daughter comes from the Ye family, and I have to choose between you and Ye Jingrong, any fool will know who to choose. So I'm worried that the prince will not let you go."
"A Tian, don't worry! Let's take action as the opportunity arises!"
…
The assassination of the prince caused a big stir and shocked both the government and the public. Emperor Dongyue ordered a thorough investigation.
Such an investigation quickly led to the identification of the third prince Dongfang Qi.
Because after Ye Xiaohan failed in his assassination, he would definitely have to find a scapegoat, and Dongfang Qi was the scapegoat he prepared.
The crime of assassinating the prince was naturally borne by Dongfang Qi.
The censors and other officials began to impeach Dongfang Qi one after another, saying that he had plotted to murder the East Palace and would kill his brother today and his father the next day.
Dongfang Qi, who had not done this, felt that he had been wronged.
But all kinds of evidence seemed to point to him, and there were even witnesses who saw one of the killers interacting with his aides, and he was in trouble and couldn't tell.
But he would never accept the crime and refuse to admit it.
In addition, his mother-in-law, Concubine Wan Guifei, was deeply favored by Emperor Dongyue, who also doted on his youngest son.
Although all kinds of evidence are not enough to confirm that Dongfang Qi is responsible for the death, it is obvious that Dongfang Qi also had the motive to assassinate Dong Gong.
Therefore, due to the game between various forces, Dongfang Qi ended up being banned from the government and could only wait for the charges to be established before dealing with him.
…
As for the prince, he believed that the evidence of the crime was obvious, that is, Dongfang Qi wanted to kill him.
But his father loved Dongfang Qi very much and was protecting him, so the prince was unhappy.
He summoned Baili Hengtian and Feng Siyan to his east palace to discuss how to kill Dongfang Qi.
The prince said angrily, "As long as my father does not deal with Dongfang Qi, no matter how much evidence there is, it will be said to be insufficient evidence. This case involves the royal family and was handled by Dali Temple.
"Dali Temple also acts based on my father's face. They are obviously favoring Dongfang Qi.
"Tell me, how can we find the so-called irrefutable evidence and crucify Dongfang Qi?"
Feng Siyan, "Didn't the East Palace Guards capture a killer alive? Did he recruit him?"
Prince, "It's useless. He's just an ordinary killer. He doesn't know anything. Originally, the East Palace Guards wanted to capture a leader alive when they retreated, but Leng Yue said that all the killers were buried in Taiyue Lake, and were killed by several strange
The water snake strangled..."
The prince was not present at the time. He had already escaped, so he did not witness the horrific and murderous scene described by Leng Yue, the leader of the East Palace Guards.
Leng Yue said that none of the killers could escape. They were all strangled by water snakes and their bodies were broken into several pieces. It was quite bloody and cruel.
He also said that he suspected Ye Xingyue did it because a waterspout rolled Ye Xingyue's body and flew to the shore.
Then another incident occurred where water snakes strangled all the killers.
Leng Yue also hinted to the prince that Ye Xingyue had "supernatural powers".
Previously, people in the East Palace thought that Ye Xingyue had a poor reputation and was not good enough to become the crown princess. Now it seems that Ye Xingyue, who has "supernatural powers", can help the prince achieve great things.
Besides, during the assassination, the prince escaped by dressing up as a woman. This was Ye Xingyue's suggestion.
Now everyone in the East Palace has no objection to the prince's choice of Ye Xingyue as the crown prince, and everyone hopes that the result of the imperial master's approval of Ye Xingyue will be good.
