Several other members of the Eastern Turkic royal family were also found to have been poisoned.
This time, not only Jieli Khan was shocked, but other members of the royal family were also shocked.
When Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan saw this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. What they saw in front of them proved that Princess Xiangcheng's guess was correct.
"Jie Li, I need an explanation!"
Li Shimin looked at Jieli Khan and said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, what Princess Xiangcheng and Fang Yuan said are true.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan, shouldn't it be me who needs an explanation?"
"I was in Chang'an City, under your protection, and was inexplicably poisoned."
Jieli Khan said with a dark face and a deep voice.
"Let me explain to you?!"
Li Shimin sneered.
Throw the incriminating evidence off the desk and throw it at the feet of Jieli Khan.
Nowadays, even if Jieli Khan doesn't admit it, Li Shimin still believes in Fang Yuan.
Japan should have colluded with the Eastern Turkic royal family, but they failed to reach cooperation in the end.
As the king of the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan has no reason not to know, and he must be pretending to be stupid now.
"Absurd!"
"This is slander!"
"I'm the victim!"
Jieli Khan roared after reading the evidence.
His voice was so loud that he attracted the imperial guards outside the imperial study room.
But Jieli Khan remained unafraid, staring at Li Shimin with eyes full of anger.
"You don't know?"
Li Shimin sneered.
He didn't believe that Jieli Khan didn't know about it.
"Yes!"
Jieli Khan has only one word.
He has a tough attitude, with anger and unyielding expression on his face.
"What an ignorant person!"
"Go back, I'll let someone find out!"
Li Shimin's face returned to calmness and he said calmly.
Since you don’t know, then investigate until you know.
Don't say that you won't give a chance to admit your sins when the time comes.
"How does Tian Khan want to check?"
Jieli Khan asked without leaving.
"Just ask your people to cooperate with the investigation!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and ordered the guests to be kicked out.
The imperial army that just walked in knew that they wanted to drive Jieli Khan away.
"Then please give me an explanation, Khan Tian!"
"The safety of our Eastern Turkic royal family members has been seriously threatened!"
Jieli Khan snorted coldly.
He saluted Li Shimin, turned around and left.
When turning around, Jieli Khan took a deep look at Fang Yuan beside him.
Finally, Jieli Khan and other members of the Eastern Turkic royal family and the chief medical officer withdrew.
Li Shimin also asked the chief medical officer to leave, and ordered him to cure Jieli Khan and others.
"Fang Yuan, do you think Jie Li knows about it?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan and asked.
He felt that Jieli Khan must have known about it.
But Jieli Khan should not directly intervene in this matter, but turn a blind eye.
Otherwise, when the Japanese contact the East Turkic royal family for cooperation, there will definitely be no internal disagreements.
"Knowing, but he has proof of not knowing."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
He also considered at the beginning why the cooperation was not successful?
After thinking about it later, it should be that Jieli Khan did not participate, so there were differences within the Eastern Turkic royal family.
As the king of the Eastern Turks, even if he is imprisoned in Chang'an City, his prestige should still be very high, and someone will tell him and ask his opinion.
"Yes, I think so too."
"Since you have clues about this matter and you have experience in investigating cases, you should be responsible for the investigation."
"I demand that a thorough investigation be carried out. No matter which country or person is involved, they should all be found out by me!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Whether it’s East Turkestan, Japanese, or other countries, check it out.
In addition to the lack of food, the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of any country. It has the confidence to go to war with other countries. It depends on whether they have the courage.
"Your Majesty, I need help!"
Fang Yuan did not refuse and said in a deep voice.
As Li Shimin said, he now has clues and has experience as a county magistrate.
But as a minister of household affairs, Fang Yuan does not have the power to investigate cases, so he needs manpower to assist.
"Everyone in Chang'an County Government is at your disposal!"
"If necessary, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple can be mobilized."
Li Shimin said generously.
This matter concerns Japan and East Turkestan countries, so we have to be cautious.
Even if the three divisions are transferred at the same time, Li Shimin will still investigate to the end.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Yuan saluted respectfully.
With Li Shimin’s words, there will be no problem in investigating the case.
"Go down."
Li Shimin nodded and asked Fang Yuan and others to leave.
He was a little exhausted mentally and physically, and a wave of sleepiness swept over him.
I was woken up by Princess Changle and Fang Yuan in the morning, and I haven’t had enough rest yet.
"Your Majesty, should Princess Xiangcheng be acquitted?"
Du Miaoyan interjected.
The truth of the matter is already clear.
The imprisoned Princess Xiangcheng should also be released, right?
"Wang De, please pass on my decree and Xiangcheng be acquitted!"
Li Shimin frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking.
He almost forgot that Princess Xiangcheng was imprisoned in the sky prison by him.
But what made Li Shimin unhappy was that as an emperor, he did something wrong.
What's even more sad is that Princess Xiangcheng made such a big fuss last night, and only Princess Changle stood up to plead for mercy!
Are all my princes and princesses so cold-blooded?
"I'll go too!"
"Your Majesty, I retire!"
Du Miaoyan said quickly.
Pull Fang Yuan to follow Wang De and leave.
"Servant Fang, Mrs. Fang, I have something to say, I wonder if I should say it?"
Wang De walked in front and whispered.
He walked with his head lowered and his steps brisk.
"My lord, please speak."
Fang Yuan took a few steps forward and said calmly.
"I feel that Your Majesty is very angry."
"When you bring Princess Xiangcheng back to welcome you, I hope you can persuade Princess Xiangcheng to take the initiative to apologize to His Majesty and express that you were wrong."
Wang De said softly.
"Why?"
Du Miaoyan said in confusion.
Obviously Princess Xiangcheng is not wrong, why is it Princess Xiangcheng who apologizes?
Fang Yuan was also puzzled, but he seemed to understand a little bit more, but he was not sure if he had guessed it.
"First of all, Your Majesty is not wrong."
"Secondly, so far, only Princess Changle has asked for mercy from His Majesty."
"Finally, His Majesty feels that all the princes and princesses are ruthless because of Princess Xiangcheng, and he may eventually become dissatisfied with Princess Xiangcheng."
Wang Deyan said concisely and comprehensively.
He has a certain understanding of both the emperor and Princess Xiangcheng.
I once received a favor from Princess Xiangcheng, so I want to repay you at this time.
I tried to persuade Princess Xiangcheng to buy shares, but Princess Xiangcheng would not listen to my advice, even if she said that she was humble.
So he asked Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, hoping that they could persuade Princess Xiangcheng, and did not want the emperor and Princess Xiangcheng to be at odds.
"I understand."
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."
Fang Yuan understood.
He had guessed this just now, but he didn't think so clearly.
Saying that, Fang Yuan took out a few hundred-yuan banknotes from his arms and gave them to Wang De.
Du Miaoyan also understood, nodded slightly, and sighed in her heart.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. Princess Xiangcheng once helped the villain."
Wang De refused repeatedly and looked around worriedly.
Although there were imperial guards guarding the surroundings, they didn't look this way, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is my intention. It has nothing to do with Princess Xiangcheng. Thank you for your guidance."
"I hope the prince can give me some pointers if I don't understand the holy meaning in the future."
Fang Yuan forced it into Wang De's hand.
As a minister, if you want to get along well, you still have to understand the divine grace.
Although Fang Yuan hates flattering the emperor, he still has to please the emperor in some ways.
As the eunuch beside Li Shimin, Wang De is very necessary to start a relationship with him.
"Then thank you, Mr. Fang."
Wang De smiled like a chrysanthemum.
He subconsciously touched the thickness of the banknotes that Fang Yuan pushed over him, and his smile became even brighter.
There are probably as many as seven or eight, which is really generous, and he is worthy of being the Minister of Household Affairs.
Not long after, Fang Yuan and others arrived at Tianlao.
The door to the sky prison is closed, and it looks ordinary from the outside, like a city wall.
But anyone who knows a little bit about Tianlao will understand the horror of Tianlao.
Soon, Wang De knocked on the door and a jailer appeared. Wang De informed Li Shimin of his will.
The door closed again, and a quarter of an hour later, Princess Xiangcheng appeared with messy hair and dirty clothes.
The moment Princess Xiangcheng stood out of the door, she seemed a little confused and looked around blankly.
After seeing Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, he came back to his senses and his eyes immediately turned red.
"You villain, please retire first!"
Wang De saluted Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, turned and left.
"Wanxiu!"
Du Miaoyan choked with sobs and walked quickly towards Princess Xiangcheng.
She was heartbroken. After just one night, Princess Xiangcheng seemed to be a completely different person. She must have suffered a lot of torture.
"Wonderful face!"
Princess Xiangcheng cried sadly.
She walked faster, ran down the stairs, and hugged Du Miaoyan heavily.
The two sisters just hugged each other, their eyes were red, and Princess Xiangcheng was still crying.
"It's okay, it's okay"
Du Miaoyan comforted Princess Xiangcheng while patting her back.
"How's it going?"
"Why did my father let me go?"
After a while, Princess Xiangcheng stopped crying.
She let go of Du Miaoyan, looked around, and finally looked at Fang Yuan.
There were only Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan present, so it was definitely not the princes and princesses begging for mercy.
It is estimated that Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan used some kind of relationship to get him released.
"Your guess is correct, but the Japanese have not reached that step yet."
Du Miaoyan explained.
Tell me what happened last night.
"Miaoyan, Fang Yuan, thank you!"
Princess Xiangcheng choked up again.
Thanks to Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, otherwise I don’t know how long I would have to stay in Tianlao.
A place like the Heavenly Prison is not meant for human beings. It is a gloomy and terrifying place. Even if you are not punished, it is still extremely scary, and your days are simply like years.
Inside, when prisoners are being tortured, the screams will spread throughout the cell. Coupled with the gloomy and dark environment, Princess Xiangcheng cannot bear to be locked up.
Now that I think about my experience there, it was a kind of torture. It is not a place for people!
"We are sisters, why are you so polite?"
Du Miaoyan shook her head and said.
Throughout our lives, we are good sisters who help each other when in trouble.
"Yeah!"
Princess Xiangcheng nodded heavily.
She felt that she could feel warmth in Du Miaoyan.
That is something that is hard to feel among members of the royal family, it is so rare and precious.
Thinking of this, Princess Xiangcheng glanced at Fang Yuan and sighed in her heart, thinking that she would have less contact with Fang Yuan in the future.
Although she hopes that Fang Yuan will be her underground lover, she cherishes her sisterly relationship with Du Miaoyan even more.
"In the future, if you come to Fang Mansion more often, I will clear a yard for you later."
Du Miaoyan chuckled.
"Ah? Why?"
Princess Xiangcheng was greatly surprised.
I just decided to have less contact with Fang Yuan.
If you let yourself live in Fang Mansion more now, how can you have less contact?
"Just now, Eunuch Wang asked Fang Yuan and I to urge you and His Majesty to apologize."
"I feel that you are not the kind of person who is kind and apologetic, so I will arrange a courtyard for you to take refuge in."
Du Miaoyan explained.
She felt that Princess Xiangcheng would not come to Li Shimin to apologize, and the father and daughter would be even more unhappy. She was worried that Princess Xiangcheng would be unhappy, so she got a yard for her to live in and have someone to take care of her.
"This prince is really troubled, I need his advice?!"
Princess Xiangcheng's eyes filled with hatred.
But not to Wang De, but to Li Shimin.
For the sake of the stability of the Sui Dynasty, he forced himself to marry Xiao Rui, whom he disliked.
I checked the bodies of the princes and princesses for everyone's safety, but was imprisoned in the sky prison.
It's so heavy, and you still want to apologize to the emperor yourself. For a little eunuch, this is too beautiful, isn't it?
"Princess Xiangcheng, if you want to be favored by the emperor, it is necessary to apologize."
Fang Yuan said from the side.
He never thought at first that Princess Xiangcheng would not apologize.
Judging from the situation between her and Du Miaoyan, she probably won't apologize.
But if you apologize, you will definitely get more money than if you don't get any money, but it will just make you feel aggrieved.
"If I don't apologize, will you refuse me to live in Fang Mansion?"
Princess Xiangcheng raised her eyebrows, glared at Fang Yuan and said.
"No, you can stay as long as you want."
Fang Yuan was stunned, then laughed awkwardly.
Whether you apologize or not is the business of Princess Xiangcheng.
I just gave her advice and did not force her. It has nothing to do with whether she lives in Fang Mansion or not.
As long as Du Miaoyan allows it, Fang Yuan will have no objection. There are many empty courtyards in Fang Mansion.
"Then let's go."
"Staying in jail for one night is bad luck."
Princess Xiangcheng nodded and said.
It is impossible for her to apologize.
Now she is full of resentment and unhappy.
I just want to go back and take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
"Miaoyan, you go back with Princess Xiangcheng. I'll go to the Chang'an County Government Office."
Fang Yuan decided to immediately investigate the case of Japanese poisoning.
There are also several enemies among the members of the Eastern Turkic royal family, and it’s time to take revenge on them.
"Why go to Chang'an County Government Office?"
Princess Xiangcheng asked curiously.
"The emperor ordered me to investigate the case of poisonous poison by Japanese people, and everyone in the Chang'an County government cooperated with me."
"If necessary, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will also be mobilized with me."
Fang Yuan explained.
Then he parted ways with the two of them and headed to the Chang'an County Government Office.
"Miaoyan, do you have any other ideas for arranging a yard for me?"
Princess Xiangcheng looked at Fang Yuan's leaving figure and asked in a low voice.
She doesn't deny that she has feelings for Fang Yuan, but it's all secretly.
But once Du Miaoyan asked her to stay in Fang Mansion more often, how could she come here secretly?
They originally decided to try not to have contact with Fang Yuan in the future, but Du Miaoyan let herself live in Fang Mansion.
Is this a special hint to myself, or am I overthinking it?
