The fourth prince smiled, but only two of them could hear what they were saying.
Therefore, only two people can understand the color of the swords coming and going, and others cannot.
On the contrary, the Fourth Prince followed his look just now and glanced at it casually, but didn't take it to heart.
It actually made King Zhan next to him think about it.
After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was completed, the emperor's worries for many days finally found a place to rest.
Faced with the surrender of the people and God's blessing, who would be dissatisfied after seeing it?
So he said quite happily.
"Uncle Fourth King, we are hosting a banquet in the palace tonight. We must do this in a grand manner."
"Yes, I obey the order."
King Zhan, who was ignored by the side, had long been used to this.
As long as the Fourth Prince is here, his so-called auxiliary minister is like a decoration.
Not only did the emperor tell him to do things, he rarely even looked at him.
Concubine Lin glanced at King Zhan's unclear expression, so she took this opportunity to step forward and speak.
"Your Majesty, why don't we leave this banquet to my concubine? I have been in charge of the harem for many years. This little thing will be handled properly, and it will also allow the fourth uncle to rest. He is very tired from traveling all the way to escort him.
Already."
When talking about traveling all the way, the fourth prince said modestly.
"Don't dare."
The emperor stood on the steps and looked down at everyone.
On the contrary, he could clearly see the expectations in Concubine Lin's eyes.
He seemed to have thought of something, so he said with a smile.
"Your concubine's words make sense, so I won't bother Uncle Wang anymore. You can make arrangements."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Lin is not afraid of any fatigue at this time.
Even for her, it would be better to have more of this "tiredness".
Otherwise, her trip would be meaningless.
Except for traveling and waiting for orders, there is nothing else.
If Concubine Yi in the palace knew about it, she would be surprised if she didn't laugh out loud.
So I was filled with joy and went to handle the evening banquet personally.
But he didn't notice that King Zhan's face became increasingly ugly.
After returning to the palace, King Zhan called for his personal entourage.
"Go and find out what happened to Yan Datou. He dares to ruin this king's good deeds! He is so impatient with his life!"
"yes."
The Yan Datou he mentioned was the person who should "accidentally" discover the secret of the miracle during the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.
But he stared at it all day and didn't see any movement.
It was simply a waste of all his hard work and arrangements over the past few months.
Reveal this secret when the emperor is most stunned.
Undoubtedly, it was rubbing the emperor's face on the ground, which would cause him to become furious.
The series of convictions for the Xu family, the Lin family's eldest family, the Dong family, and even the fourth prince who were implicated were all heavier.
But now, it’s time to say that the momentum has passed.
Even if he went to expose it face to face at this moment, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Not to mention if this matter is brought up again in the future.
So my chest rose and fell with anger, and I wanted to drag the person over and cut him into pieces immediately!
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the person he wanted to investigate had his hands and feet tied, his mute points tapped, and thrown in front of the emperor.
The person standing next to him was the Fourth Prince who exposed the incident.
"Lin Xingzhi brought the spar back before. Your Majesty, please take a look. It is this thing that created the wonder."
When the fourth prince said this, he was also beating a drum in his heart.
By rashly exposing this matter, isn't it just telling the emperor that he has been fooled around in the past few months?
Long's power is unpredictable, so it's not impossible for him to be implicated.
But after thinking about it, I still feel that it is better to report it first.
At least they were cleared of suspicion.
As for Prince Zhan, whom the clues point to, I don't blame him.
The emperor's face was calm and emotionless. If his eyebrows hadn't been twitching, no one else would have known he was angry.
Dong Yuzhong took two steps back gently.
At this time, it is better to protect yourself wisely.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard the emperor speak.
"Such a small crystal stone can create wonders? Lin Xingzhi must be talking nonsense."
The calmness of his words almost made people think that he didn't believe it.
But only Dong Yuzhong, who had served the emperor for many years, knew that King Zhan had stepped on the emperor's tail this time, and he was afraid that more than one or two people would be unlucky.
After the emperor finished speaking, he threw the spar to the legs of the tied man in front of him.
Then he ordered.
"Untie his dumb hole."
"yes."
As soon as the Fourth Prince finished counting his hands, the man began to beg for mercy hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life, these slaves don't know, they don't know!"
"You mean that this king maliciously framed you?"
The fourth prince looked at him angrily, as if he was going to kill him in the next second.
At this moment, Yan Datou really has one head and two heads.
Could it be that he dared to really talk back?
It's a pity that I still have the leverage in King Zhan's hands. If I betray him now, my whole family will die together.
He fell to his knees, his whole body limp.
Suddenly, I don't know where the courage came from, and I ran straight into the pillar in the palace.
The force was so great that blood immediately dripped from it.
He died before he even had time to breathe his last breath.
"unlucky!"
It was not easy for them to catch this man.
You must know that before this, this person had not shown any signs of weakness.
It was Lin Xingzhi's suggestion to change the disguises of everyone at the heaven-sacrifice ceremony and see who King Zhan saw, and then the identity of Yan Datou was determined.
Unexpectedly, he died without saying a word.
It's really a waste of all the previous efforts.
The emperor stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at everything in front of him, snorted coldly and said.
"Uncle Si Wang, how is the investigation of the Xu family's affairs going?"
"No response yet."
The purpose of fabricating a miracle is not just to trick him into leaving the palace, and then let Concubine Lin out.
I'm afraid there are many people who will be implicated behind the scenes.
Mount Tai is the closest to Dengzhou.
If anything happens, the Xu family in Dengzhou will be the first to bear the brunt.
"Okay, since they use this spectacle to stand up for themselves and trap others into injustice, then they will suffer the consequences."
He turned to Dong Yuzhong and said.
"Go and call me Prince Zhan and Concubine Lin. Such a good scene wouldn't be interesting enough without a singing protagonist."
His eyes were full of coldness.
If Concubine Lin had seen this scene in advance, she would not have come even if she was beaten to death.
"The emperor is calling me over now to ask about the banquet tonight. Are you all ready?"
"My dear, don't worry."
"That's good."
So I finished my makeup and went to the palace where the emperor rested ahead of King Zhan.
Before the smile fell off his face, he saw blood everywhere, and a lifeless corpse was already lying in front of him.
Concubine Lin was so frightened that she screamed.
This shout also frightened King Zhan, thinking that something big had happened.
