Facing four pairs of eager eyes, Pei Lin found it difficult to attract Feng Jing, so she had to sit down properly.
Feng Jing thought about Pei Lin's words and felt that this matter must be planned well, so as not to cause trouble and hurt herself, she warned Pei Lin.
"After you return to the palace, you should arrange it carefully. Don't make any mistakes in any place."
"good."
The carriage drove vigorously to the Jin Palace.
In the palace, Prime Minister Xie, Bachelor of Arts, Muyang Hou Wang Mingshan, Pei Yusheng and others saw the emperor cursing in the hall, and no one dared to say a word until the old emperor let out an evil fire and became quiet.
Xie Xiangcai stood up slowly and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the King of Jin has started to take action, and dealing with the Queen Mother is probably the first step. If Your Majesty does not stop him, he will probably plot against Your Majesty's trusted ministers again and again."
In fact, Xie Xiang does not want to get involved in the matter between His Majesty and King Jin, but if he does not speak out and expresses his position, he will wait until King Jin really leaves the capital or is out of danger.
The old emperor would definitely not be able to spare him, so he could only stand up and express his attitude.
The Bachelor of Arts nodded in agreement: "I feel that he is forcing Your Majesty to take action. He wants to take this opportunity to return to Youzhou. Your Majesty must get rid of him immediately. After getting rid of him, Your Majesty will accuse him of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
No one can blame Your Majesty."
Muyang Hou Wang Mingshan quickly said: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead someone to kill him."
The old emperor looked at the few courtiers in the palace and slowly said: "Since he wants to die, I will grant him his wish. However, this matter must be planned well and no accidents can occur. This traitor must be killed."
After thinking for a moment, Xiang Xianghe, a bachelor of literature, said: "Your Majesty wants to get rid of the King of Jin sooner rather than later. Firstly, the people outside are very dissatisfied with Your Majesty. Secondly, if the delay is further delayed, the King of Jin will also take action against Your Majesty."
Man, Your Majesty cannot give him any more time."
"Your Majesty, please deploy immediately."
Mu Yanghou and Pei Yusheng came out at the same time to report: "I would like to take people to the Jin Prince's Mansion at night, burn the Jin Prince's Mansion, and kill the Jin Prince and everyone in the Jin Prince's Mansion during the chaos."
The old emperor glanced at the two people next to him and nodded cruelly. In the past, he was worried about his own reputation, so he would attack Pei Lin secretly. Now that the traitor with ulterior motives has ruined his reputation, he does not need to be polite to him.
.
"Okay, let's make arrangements so that the students and the people cannot blame me for this matter. Even if they think so in their hearts, there is no evidence."
Prime Minister Xie and Bachelor of Arts nodded in agreement, and several people sat in the hall to discuss the plan to kill Pei Lin.
As a result, in the middle of the discussion, Yang Shilang, the Minister of Punishment, came into the palace to ask for an audience.
"Your Majesty, Minister Yang would like to see you."
The old emperor said with sinister eyes: "What is he doing here again?"
"He said that Princess Jin took Prince Jin to the Ministry of Punishment to sue Pei Yusheng, the crown prince of Prince An. He said that Prince An's crown prince Pei Yusheng ordered Concubine Ding to bewitch the prince. The prince was about to be bewitched and he was about to die."
The old emperor quickly looked at Pei Yusheng: "Did you really instruct Ding Rurong to poison Pei Lin?"
Pei Yusheng nodded: "I ordered it."
It's just that he couldn't believe that Pei Lin was so poisoned.
"I think there's something fishy about this matter. Maybe it's Pei Lin's plan to get rid of this prince."
After hearing Pei Yusheng's words, the old emperor said angrily: "Isn't Ding one of yours?"
After he finished speaking, before Pei Yusheng could speak, he ordered the eunuch to announce that Yang Shilang came in and asked.
"Princess Jin brought Prince Jin to the Ministry of Punishment to report to Pei Yusheng. Are you sure Prince Jin was bewitched?"
"The King of Jin is pale and unconscious. The other ministers did not check carefully and entered the palace first to report to His Majesty."
The old emperor was furious after hearing this. He was almost certain that Pei Lin was not tricked at all, he was just pretending to get rid of his cronies.
"I'm going to kill him."
The old emperor gritted his teeth and looked at Minister Yang who was looking down: "What's going on with Mr. Ding?"
Yang Shilang spoke quickly: "She was beaten so much that she took in more air than came out. She looked miserable. She must have been forced to confess by someone from the Jin Palace. As expected, she couldn't bear the torture and handed over Prince An."
The old emperor nodded slightly, looked at Pei Yusheng and said, "You come with Mr. Yang."
After the old emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Pei Yusheng. Pei Yusheng immediately understood what the old emperor meant and told him to follow Yang Shilang first so as not to alert the king of Jin, Pei Lin.
They will kill Pei Lin tonight, and Pei Yusheng is just going to take care of some errands.
Pei Yusheng responded and walked to Yang Shilang: "Let's go."
Yang Shilang glanced at Pei Yusheng, and the two of them walked out without saying anything else.
In the Criminal Department, Feng Jing was crying sadly about the fact that Pei Yusheng, the crown prince of Prince An, ordered Concubine Ding to poison Pei Lin.
As she talked, she talked about Pei Yusheng's love for young girls.
"This beast not only likes to raise voodoo insects, but also likes young girls. He has raised a bunch of underage girls on Zhuangzi for his own entertainment. Do you think he is still a human being? Before, there were always missing girls in the counties around the capital. You can't be sure.
It was this beast who sent people to arrest these little girls."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the Ministry of Justice.
"Oh my God, is it true?"
"I thought Prince An was beautiful and infatuated, so he only married the crown prince, but I didn't expect that he had a strange problem."
"The missing child in Jingxian County is not really the one he sent to catch. If so, he is really heartless and has destroyed the hearts of the people."
In front of the Punishment Department, everyone was talking non-stop. Inside the Punishment Department, Feng Jing glared angrily at Ding Concubine Ding Rurong on one side.
"Ding, tell me, is what I said true?"
Ding Rurong glanced at Feng Jing in fear, then nodded weakly: "Yes, it's true."
After hearing this, Feng Jing turned around and looked at Yao Shangshu, the Minister of Punishment.
"Before, Princess Changle used poisonous insects to harm me, and His Majesty ordered her to hand over the person behind the scenes. She framed Prince Qing, and in the end she even risked her life to protect the person behind the scenes. Now I finally know who she wants to protect?
That person is clearly Pei Yusheng, the crown prince of Prince An."
"The royal princess would rather die than protect someone. This person must be particularly important to her."
As soon as Feng Jing finished speaking, a cold and angry voice came from outside the criminal department: "Feng Jing, don't bully others too much."
Pei Yusheng strode in from the outside with a gloomy face, walked all the way to Feng Jing and stood in front of Feng Jing: "Princess Changle is dead, how dare you slander someone who is already dead."
When Feng Jing saw Pei Yusheng, she looked like she was extremely jealous of enemies meeting each other. She stood up abruptly and stared at Pei Yusheng.
"Princess Changle intended to bewitch me, but in the end she did not hand over the instigator behind it. I originally didn't know who the person she wanted to protect was, but now I know that you are a bewitch master."
"Princess Changle has always been on good terms with you. I have reason to suspect that you instigated Princess Changle to infect me with the poison."
"If you didn't instruct Princess Changle to bewitch me, and you have such a good relationship with her, why didn't you instruct the guards to hit Princess Changle gently to save the princess's life."
"The guard is yours. As long as you give the order, he will definitely not kill Princess Changle. But she died in the end. It was obviously because you wanted her to die. Why did you want her to die? Because you were afraid that she would reveal that you were cheating on her.
You did something ugly to her when she was seven or eight years old, and you wanted her to die."
