After Prime Minister Zuo's death, those shameful deeds were also completely buried in the underworld. With the evidence of his death, Yi Chenxuan calmly and unhurriedly denied all the accusations made by Yi Chenjing.
Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing never expected that the person who killed Prime Minister Zuo would be Su Rao. When Su Rao, who was hiding in Lianchen Pavilion, was tied into the front hall of Emperor Yao's palace, Bai Qige took a deep breath and could hardly believe the person in front of her. It's the lively and clever side room. His skinny body seems to be wrapped in a skin. His two eyes are bulging and he is looking around in panic. His messy long hair has not been combed for an unknown period of time and is spread over his skinny back. He looks like a madman.
"What happened to Surao? Why did you kill Prime Minister Zuo?" Yi Chenjing frowned and grabbed Surao's hands, trying to find out any clues. Naisurao would either look at him and giggle, or struggle desperately and cry, unable to communicate at all.
"Take the person down and check him carefully." Yaohuang rubbed his forehead and waved his hand impatiently, glancing at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground tremblingly. "Are you sure that Prime Minister Zuo was killed by that woman?" [
The little eunuch's scalp was firmly on the ground: "I saw someone stumbling out of Yujuan Palace. I was curious and looked inside. I saw Prime Minister Zuo lying covered in blood at the back door... The man stepped on it while escaping. The blood slaves and several father-in-laws on the ground followed the footprints and chased them all the way to Lianchenxuan. Only then did they see that the person was Lianchenxuan's wife, hiding alone in the corner of the yard muttering something about revenge."
To have become this thin in the past few months must have been a huge change. Could this change be related to Su Rao going crazy and stabbing Prime Minister Zuo to death? Bai Qige lowered her eyebrows and thought hard in her memory, but she could not find the past between Su Rao and Prime Minister Zuo. What's the connection? It has something to do with Concubine Jin.
When she was falsely accused by Concubine Jin of having an affair with the prince, the person who appeared in front of Emperor Yao to testify was none other than Su Rao. Prime Minister Zuo was Concubine Jin's father. The father and daughter were in close contact with each other and conspired on some things. It was not surprising that they shared some people. After chasing her back to the palace, the disciples of Prime Minister Zuo treated her and Yi Chenjing with great courtesy. Could it be that Surao was colluding with their father and daughter... no, no, Surao hated her so much, but had no reason to harm Yi Chenjing. Besides, if Su Rao was really working for Concubine Jin and Prime Minister Zuo, why would she kill someone at such a critical moment and then go crazy?
The doubts were soon answered. When Lao Gong'e announced her discovery with a numb face, Bai Qige's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, the old slaves have checked the lady of Lianchenxuan. Her body is not clean. She has had sex with a man in the past ten days. She has scars and bruises all over her body."
In name, Su Rao is Yi Chenjing's concubine, but in fact she has never been married. In reality, she is still considered a virgin, not to mention that Lianchenxuan has not been a man since Yi Chenjing's Northern Expedition. Who would have thought of the person who had a relationship with Su Rao? The panic, fear and revenge in Surao's eyes made everyone think a little. Hearing the shrill laughter in the next room, they couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy.
"I didn't expect that Concubine Jin, who is in charge of the style of the Sixth Palace, Prime Minister Zuo, would do such dirty things behind his back. No wonder Mrs. Surao would..." Pretending to be regretful, Yi Chenxuan shook his head and looked at Yi Chenjing. "Qi Brother, there is no need to be too sad that you and Qi Ge can return to the palace safely. It is a blessing among misfortunes."
"I said you are not qualified to call her by her name." Yi Chenxuan was interrupted coldly. Yi Chenjing showed no mercy.
Why did Su Rao go crazy and why did he want to kill Prime Minister Zuo? The reason was already known and he was sure that this matter must be related to Yi Chenxuan. But the matter was over. The most important thing now was not to consider what happened to Su Rao but to find someone else. The evidence proves Yi Chenxuan's despicable crimes and he should be brought down as soon as possible.
Qiao Qingxu's death made it impossible for Yi Chenjing to endure it any longer, let alone tolerate Yi Chenxuan's continued living in the world. Yi Chenxuan's existence for any longer would be unbearable pain for him.
"Leave this matter to the Queen to investigate slowly. You two brothers should resolve the conflict first." Yao Huangping retreated and left the rest, leaving only his two sons and Bai Qige. Ou Suiliang and the other four were in the palace.
Is a conflict just a conflict? With so many lives, the life-and-death dangers he and Bai Qige have experienced are just a small conflict to the father. Listening to Yaohuang's tone, it was as if he was dealing with a trivial dispute. Yi Chenjing couldn't help but get more and more annoyed. He was getting more and more gloomy. If Bai Qige hadn't held him tightly, he would have lost control and rushed to Yaohuang and said some unpleasant words.
Yi Chenxuan naturally saw Yi Chenjing's angry face and put on a false smile, pretending to be concerned: "Seventh brother, you are too tired. Seeing that your face is not very good, and your temper is irritable and irritable than usual, it is better to go back to Lianchenxuan and take a rest first. good"
"Xuan'er, I sent you here to ask if you have something to ask. Do you want to reminisce about the old days?" Yaohuang held his forehead with a headache and closed his eyes. His words were tired and his voice was old. "Jing'er was ambushed and escaped by chance on her way back to the imperial capital. The fact that you are constantly being hunted has something to do with you."
Yi Chenxuan's face looked as usual and he answered naturally and fluently without any trace of nervousness or panic: "I am worried that my seventh brother would do such a fratricidal act before it was too late. This must be a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives. It must not be true," he muttered. After a while, Yi Chenxuan said again, "During the Northern Expedition, I went to the expedition camp because the third son of the Bai family killed the Zhaoguo princess. By the way, I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help my seventh brother. The Northern Expedition is my father." How dare I, my minister, who has been wishing for me for so many years, interfere with this? It seems that those young people want to sow discord between my minister and my seventh brother, so these rumors are spreading. I ask my father to take a closer look."
"Do you need me to tell my father what the Fifth Brother did to the army camp? How many ambushes and secret attacks did Qi Ge and I encounter on the way back to the Imperial Capital? The prime minister ordered these people to talk nonsense and unanimously choose Brother Five Emperors to frame him. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?" Yi Chenjing clenched her fists and tried her best to control her emotions.
To reach this point is to tear off the skin and insist on fighting to the death. For Yi Chenjing, it is a subversion of the image of humility and forbearance. For Yi Chenxuan, it is an impact on the image of grace and kindness. How will Emperor Yao solve the problem? Ou Suiliang holds his breath and concentrates. Ruju's eyes wandered between the two brothers, and occasionally glanced at Bai Qige, who was standing side by side with Yi Chenjing, trying to read something from the expressions of the three people. However, except for Yi Chenjing who was slightly excited, Bai Qige and Yi Chenxuan were both excited. He was so calm that he couldn't find any flaws at all.
To plan your mind and fight your mind, you must first learn to meditate.
Bai Qige could have such an understanding thanks to Yi Chenxuan. He destroyed her last bit of innocence and made her learn to look at this chaotic human affairs with the most rational eyes and not be confused by joys and sorrows [
"You can just rely on what we say as long as there is no evidence, and the fifth prince won't admit it, right?" Bai Qige didn't expect that Yi Chenxuan would take the initiative to admit it in this situation. The smile on his calm face and the confident look on his face made Yi Chenxuan Feeling weak in her heart, she stretched out her hand and stuffed something into Yi Chenjing's hand. Bai Qige reminded in a low voice: "Evidence"
Yi Chenjing was confused at first, then suddenly realized and hurriedly presented the things in his hand to Yao Huang
Yaohuang glanced at Yi Chenxuan intentionally, lowered his head, took the thing, and frowned slightly.
It was a tightly wrapped oil-paper package. After opening it, a brocade bag appeared in front of me. There was still a faint trace of blood on the brocade bag. Inside was a letter that was neither long nor short. Bai Qige kept the oil-paper bag close to her body and kept the letter. The lingering warmth on the paper was still far away. The emperor's face became increasingly cold and turbid, his eyes full of surprise and anger.
There was a loud bang and the low table on the couch was violently overturned and fell to the ground. The tea cup and medicine bowl shattered into pieces. The thick black residual medicine mixed with the clear tea into a puddle. It was impossible to tell which drop was once clean and which drop was always dirty.
"Colluded with the Huoluohe tribe to poison the drinking water of our soldiers and framed their own brothers at the expense of the Dayao city... You, do you still take me seriously?" Suddenly an angry shout echoed through the bedroom, and Emperor Yao jumped from the couch excitedly. He raised his palm and swung it hard at Yi Chenxuan.
Yi Chenxuan closed his eyes for a long time but still didn't feel the pain in his cheeks.
The palms hanging in the air were trembling violently, and the aged body was shaking with complex expressions of anger, disbelief, and perhaps sadness that couldn't be hidden, but this expression could not be seen by others, but those who could see it had their eyes closed with no intention of avoiding it.
"The private correspondence between Chen Canjun and the fifth prince was clearly written in the letters. Chen Jing and I were able to escape Lingyun City by chance, thanks to Chen Canjun risking his life to save him. Although the merits and demerits are not equal, Chen Canjun did it after all. Many mistakes are excusable. As for the fifth prince..." Seeing that Emperor Yao was furious, Bai Qige paused for a moment. "The royal family is no better than the common people. Fighting for the throne between brothers is inevitable. However, the fifth prince did not hesitate to betray the people of Dayao land just to cause Chen Jing to be attacked by the enemy. The false appearance of a tragic death in an ambush is too much and does not take this country seriously."
"The princess and the princess should be careful when speaking of important matters."
Bai Qige wanted to say more about Yi Chenxuan's crimes before she opened her mouth, but she was scolded by Ou Suiliang. She was surprised that the first general of Yaoguo, who had always strongly supported Yi Chenjing, turned livid, and was usually gentle and generous.
Obediently shut her mouth and took half a step back. Bai Qige lowered her head and stopped talking.
It didn't matter if she didn't say it. Anyway, those few words were enough to arouse Yaohuang's anger. Earlier, when she and Yi Chenjing reported Yi Chenxuan's crimes to Yaohuang, Yaohuang's partiality towards Yi Chenxuan was very obvious. Yi Chenjing was furious about this. But she became more and more calm, and her mind was quickly searching for reasons that would force Yaohuang to deal with Yi Chenxuan.
What is the most important thing to Emperor Yao? From the current situation, it seems that it is not the concubine, nor the two sons who have their own merits in civility and military affairs. It is to rule the world and leave a name in history as one emperor through the ages. Tell Emperor Yao about brotherhood, life and death. How useful is it? If Emperor Yao wants to protect Yi Chenxuan, it will be useless even if they talk about it. Only a little bit will touch his scales and make him unable to endure it.
That is to destroy the Dayao Empire that he spent half his life building.
Yi Chenxuan acted cautiously, doing everything without going through outsiders and not involving too much. Even the paper used to send letters to Chen An and others was soaked in potion and would burn to ashes after a certain period of time. However, there were two things he did not expect. These two things were just enough to give him a fatal blow
The first is that he did not expect that Chen An would risk the lives of his entire family to let her and Yi Chenjing go.
Second, the incriminating evidence written by Chen An himself was unexpected by everyone.
