Seeing that Li Xian was indifferent, Qinghuang was so angry that he slapped the table and became furious. He was so frightened that his uncle trembled and became silent in panic.
Qinghuang glanced at his uncle with his tiger eyes, and shouted coldly: "Say, if you don't tell me, I will punish your nine tribes."
Qinghuang Longyan was so angry that he was so frightened that Li Xian kept kowtowing and confessed: "I'm a slave, I'm a slave. It was the uncle who ordered the slaves to frame the prince. It was the uncle who bribed the craftsmen, made the puppets and secretly buried them in the prince's house.
, after the deed was accomplished, he ordered someone in a lowly position to kill and silence him."
"Also...there is also the fact that the uncle of the state ordered a lowly official to steal the original handwriting of the prince, and found a storyteller in the capital who copied the prince's handwriting and made a fake one...and, and, that storyteller Hong Da, also,
It was also Uncle Guo who asked me to kill him."
Liang Jinghuan then asked: "So what Yan Pang and Li Mao told is the truth?"
Now that things have happened, how can I dare to deceive again? The trick is so clean: "Yes, yes, it's true."
Liang Jinghuan struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask: "Did Uncle Guo collude with Jiang Qichong, Wu Jing, Wang Shouye, Wen Shu and others?"
"I only know that Uncle Guo has a secret relationship with Jiang Qichong, and that the wizard Ji Yan was bribed by Uncle Guo. Also, back then, the prince sent a close entourage to find the queen with a letter, but he was intercepted by him.
After I came down, I was later changed by my uncle into treasonous words."
"Afterwards, I read the letter written by the prince to the queen. It was indeed not a rebellion, but the prince's self-certification of innocence..."
"Your Majesty, also, after Jiang Qichong found out that there was witchcraft hidden in the prince's palace, the prince originally planned to go to Wenlan Palace in person to report the situation to you in detail, but things changed faster than planned. The informant who secretly observed the prince came to Jiang Qichong
Report, the prince's move made Jiang Qichong anxious."
Li Xian's forehead was soaked with sweat, and he raised his head cautiously to look at Qing Huang: "He was afraid that if the prince was allowed to see the emperor, he would not be able to benefit from it, so Jiang Qichong dared to risk the disapproval of the world to summon soldiers and arrest the prince.
Put him in jail and force him to confess."
After hearing this, Ling Min sighed and said indignantly: "So, the prince is not involved in the witchcraft case at all, let alone conspired to rebel."
"Yes, yes, the prince was wronged. Please have mercy on the emperor and forgive my servant's family." After saying this, Li Xian kept kowtowing and confessed his crime, hoping to appease the emperor's anger.
All those who should be recruited and those who shouldn't be recruited were all recruited. At this time, Uncle Guo was completely dumbfounded, sweating profusely, and with trembling lips, he spoke with difficulty:
"Your Majesty... I have been unjustly accused... It was all framed by Li Xian!" After saying this, he collapsed weakly on the ground, trembling like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Liang Jinghuan glanced coldly at Uncle Guo who was frozen on the spot, with an upright look on his face, and shouted angrily: "You still dare to cry out that you are wronged? Uncle Guo, everything has been revealed, why don't you plead guilty quickly and face the law?"
The matter has reached this point, and Liang Jinghuan can no longer delve into it. The matter is so big and has so many implications. It will inevitably cause scandals in the entire harem and even the royal family, shaking many foundations and even the foundation of the imperial court.
Finally, the truth came to light. Ling Min took a long, deep breath, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, everything has come to light and the case can be finalized."
At this moment, Qinghuang seemed to have had a big dream. He felt the regret in his chest surging. He pointed his trembling fingers at his uncle who was kneeling on the ground and gritted his teeth with hatred:
"Bold traitor... You treacherous people have deceived me so hard. The prince did not use witchcraft at all. It was all a conspiracy concocted by you and Jiang Qichong." At this time, Emperor Qing wanted to crush Jiang Qichong to ashes, but Jiang Qichong had already died.
Death, no bones left.
For such a huge disaster, the uncle could not say anything. For the sake of his sister and the entire family, he could only bear all the blame alone, or the emperor could bypass his family for the sake of Concubine Yi.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen did everything. You should punish Wei Chen!"
The emperor was furious and extremely frightened when he thought about it, the person beside him had such a vicious heart.
"Do you think that when you and Jiang Qichong framed the prince, your good sister could stay out of it? And my good son, King Wei, there is no mother and son behind this plot?"
"Your Majesty, no, Concubine Yi didn't know anything about it. It was Wei Chen who planned it. Concubine Yi and King Wei were completely kept in the dark. It was Wei Chen who hated the prince, and it was Wei Chen who wanted to kill the prince. If
It’s not that the prince is always against the ministers, the ministers will not be guilty of framing the prince."
The uncle cried bitterly and kowtowed to the ground to apologize, in order to calm the emperor's anger and avoid implicating the entire family.
At this time, Uncle Guo had already fallen into madness because of fear. He shed a lot of tears and runny nose, crying and trying to clear the relationship between Concubine Yi and King Wei.
The case of witchcraft has now become clear, and this process has made Qinghuang suffer and regret.
He was exploited by someone with ulterior motives and pushed the innocent prince to a dead end step by step. Was he not the culprit of all this?
At this moment, there was no need to review the documents, they were all in the same boat. Even if he did not collude with the uncle, the shocking crime committed by the gang of four headed by Jiang Qichong and Wu Jing would be enough to kill him thousands of times.
Emperor Qing was like a furious lion, killing all those involved including Li Mao, Yan Pang, Li Xian, the divine witch Ji Yan, and Jiang Qichong, Wu Jing, Wang Shouye, Wen Wen and other three people, causing trouble to the three clans.
Pay homage to the deceased prince.
As for Uncle Guo, he was thrown into death row and was questioned and executed every day. Emperor Qing knew in his heart that there were other people behind this huge case. Is it just Uncle Guo?
Who wouldn't covet the center of power? They form cliques for personal gain, eradicate dissidents, and engage in partisanship. Aren't King Wei and Concubine Yi involved in this? Or Concubine Yi's entire family?
Qinghuang knew it well, but he couldn't think about it carefully.
On the other side, Concubine Yi and King Wei were uneasy after hearing the news. On the night when the uncle was imprisoned, Concubine Yi disguised herself and entered the Dali Temple Prison.
Uncle Guo could not imagine that his own sister had threatened the lives of his family members in order to protect herself, and he had to bear all the charges. Thinking of the cold and cruel words his sister said in prison, his heart felt as cold as if he was in the cold winter.
The heart is broken and the love is frozen.
"Brother, you are so confused. How could you do such a thing? You have to think about your wife and children! Your parents are old, why don't you think about them? The eldest brother impulsively formed a grudge against the prince, and actually let him
It's my sister's fault that the eldest brother had such rebellious thoughts and failed to persuade him..."
His words may seem distressed and self-blame, but in fact they are hinting at him, threatening him, making him take the blame, and making him bear all the sins.
When a person reaches the end of his life, and when life and death are at stake, it becomes inevitable to seek self-protection and avoid leaving any future troubles.
Little did they know that as soon as Concubine Yi entered the prison, the emperor sent people to follow her. This time, Emperor Qing was cruel. No matter how Concubine Yi tried to cover up her lies or how her uncle took the blame, Concubine Yi's good days were over.
Early the next morning, the emperor ordered that Concubine Yi be put to death, the uncle and his entire family be executed, a pair of old people from the Zhao family were given Ning Guta, and the men from the three tribes were slaves for generations.
After the prince's case was settled, the emperor became much older and finally realized his cruelty and being deceived. Day by day, month by month, Emperor Qing lived with the regret of losing his beloved son.
Finally, the emperor realized his mistake through painful self-reflection. In the same year, one month after his vindication, Emperor Qing issued the "Edict of Guilty." This declared to the world that the emperor was not guilty.
A few months later, Emperor Qing missed his son so much that he built the "Siyun Palace" on the cliff where the prince committed suicide. On rainy, snowy days and moonlit nights, he often walked alone on the stage and called the prince's name, hoping that his son's soul would return...
However, Emperor Qing never missed the queen who also died unjustly, even though he had loved her infinitely when he was young.
Ling Mansion
"Your Highness, the witchcraft case has been settled. Why don't you acknowledge the Emperor? He doesn't know you are alive yet. In recent days, the Emperor has become more and more haggard. Do you know that the Emperor misses his son very much?"
Ling Min was very puzzled. Since he had been rehabilitated, why did he not want to show up and make the emperor suffer the pain of losing his son? Could it be that the knot in his heart has not been opened yet?
Gong Yun'ao's cold eyes sank slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. It seemed that there was a roaring tsunami hidden in his silence, "Don't worry, it's not time yet, we will meet when it's time to meet."
Humph! It's really ridiculous. His father knew that Gong Zeci could not stay out of the matter, and that the witchcraft disaster had dealt with so many people, but he just downplayed it and just deprived him of his throne and kept him in his own palace for half a year?
It's a pity that my mother died, my uncle died, and as a prince, I was forced to jump off a cliff. It turned out that I was so light in my father's heart.
Seeing Gong Yun'ao deep in thought, Ling Min hurriedly called out: "Your Highness?"
Unconsciously, he was brought back to his senses by a soft call. Gong Yunao turned around, bowed solemnly and said solemnly: "Master Ling, the witchcraft case has been vindicated, all thanks to Master Ling. Please accept my bow.
"
The sudden bow made Ling Min look startled, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "No, no, Your Highness, I have disgraced the old minister. I just proposed to retry the witchcraft case in front of the emperor, and did not contribute much."
"His Highness was able to clear out his grievances only because His Highness had the vision and asked the minister to submit the evidence to Liang Jinghuan of Dali Temple. As His Highness said, this man is an upright man. Moreover, His Highness was able to get Yan Pang to plead guilty.
It is also the key to the case."
"Well! We have to thank Fei Jiang and General Fei for this. If he hadn't discovered Yan Pang's bad habit of visiting prostitutes and used this to get him to take the bait, we wouldn't have overturned the case so quickly."
Ling Min twirled his beard, nodded, and added: "When it comes to returning to the palace, I will find a ripe opportunity to reveal the news that the prince is still alive to the emperor. By then, everything will fall into place."
Gong Yunao nodded, "Okay."
Shufu
Feng Chen wandered around the street for a while, returned to Shu's house, and sat down next to Shu Yao. Thinking of the people's comments in the market, he couldn't help but feel a little confused:
"Boss, since the prince was rehabilitated and not long after the old emperor was convicted, a Siyun Palace was built at the place where the prince jumped off the cliff. It is said to be a platform for forgetting thoughts after returning. Do you think the old emperor is really repentant?
Already?"
"But I don't understand. Since he has been rehabilitated and the emperor already knows that the prince is not dead, and has personally gone to take the prince back to the palace, why is the prince unwilling to come back?"
