Changde's voice was as erratic as a ghost, making the atmosphere in the hall quite eerie and scary.
Emperor Jing clenched a memorial in his hand and said, "So, that thing was really done by them?"
"That's probably it." Chang De said, "But it's more than that. Following that clue, I'm afraid we can lead to more people."
"Then keep digging for me!" Emperor Jing's voice became colder, "I will not let go of anyone who participated in what happened back then!"
After his words fell to the ground, a continuous dead silence began in the hall.
Until there was a "creaking" sound, the door of the palace was pushed open a small crack, and the sunlight from outside shone in.
A head poked in from the outside, and Tsundere Loli said with some confusion: "It's broad daylight, why don't you open the door?"
Her body appeared in the hall in a flash, she ran over with a smile and said: "Father, let me give you a good meal..."
"What good things did you steal from the catering bureau again?" A smile appeared on Emperor Jing's face, and he held her in his arms.
"Father, please try it first!"
The tsundere loli took out her handkerchief from her arms, opened it carefully, took out a small milky white thing similar to pastry, and put it into Emperor Jing's mouth.
"It tastes pretty good. Are there new pastries made by the Food Bureau?" Emperor Jing asked with an even bigger smile.
The tsundere loli curled her lips and said: "Those stupid royal chefs can't make such delicious food. This is made by sir. Hey, give the father two more, and I will go find the mother and concubine. She also
I’ve never tasted it…”
Seeing her jumping out and running out, the smile on Emperor Jing's face lasted for a long time. Changde picked up the memorials scattered on the ground and sorted them out, and said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Shu, do you want the Secret Service to investigate carefully?"
Check?"
"No need." Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Li Xian can't do such a thing, but some people can't wait."
Feeling the chill in his words, Changde knew in his heart that some people in the court tomorrow would have a difficult time.
…
…
"Prime Minister Qin, the matter has come to this, what should we do?" Many people in the Qin Mansion stared at Prime Minister Qin closely.
"With good fortune comes misfortune, and misfortune brings good fortune..." Qin Xiang sighed and said, "There is nothing to do, nothing to do."
He shook his head, and when he walked out with his hands behind his back, his body was even more stooped than before.
At this moment, even he himself had deep doubts about whether the decision he made more than ten years ago was right or wrong.
He walked outside the door, waved his hand to the person standing in the corridor, and said, "Tell Concubine Cui that there is nothing I can do about this matter."
…
"Have you found it?"
In the Prince of Shu's Mansion, more than a dozen officials were waiting anxiously. When they saw a servant coming in from outside, someone immediately asked.
"I haven't found it yet." The man shook his head and said helplessly.
Everyone's faces were full of panic, time was running out, and every quarter of an hour wasted, the consequences might become more serious.
The King of Shu cannot be found, and someone has already entered the palace to report to Concubine Cui. We don't know what the outcome will be. And if His Highness doesn't come back, it will be too late when the palace gate is closed today.
Even they can't help but feel a little scared when they think about what will happen tomorrow morning.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran in and said, "His Royal Highness is back!"
After hearing this, everyone stood up and walked quickly outside the hall.
The King of Shu was supported by two servants, his eyes were sleepy and his body was swaying. When he saw everyone coming out to welcome him, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Why are you here, sir?"
Then, as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "I understand, you are also here to congratulate me. Okay, okay, I'll tell you to go ahead and hold a banquet at the palace tonight..."
"Your Highness!"
Everyone had been anxious for a long time. In this critical situation, they were anxious in the palace, and the King of Shu was enjoying himself outside. Finally, someone couldn't help it, with an angry look on his face, and said something sternly.
"Ah?" King Shu raised his head in confusion, not knowing why the other party lost his temper.
The official's face was full of disappointment and he said: "If Your Highness continues like this, your position in the East Palace will be in danger..."
"What?"
Regarding these two words, the King of Shu was still very sensitive. He was sober in an instant and asked eagerly: "What happened and why is it like this?"
He thought he was within reach of that position, but now someone told him that he might not be able to be emperor. How could he not be anxious?
Seeing that until now, the King of Shu has not realized where the crisis lies this time, everyone in the audience felt cold on the spot.
The King of Shu was very lucky.
Because the queen has no legitimate son and cannot have any more children, the son born from Concubine Cui has the same status as the eldest son, and will be the first heir to the next emperor as soon as he is born.
His mother is Concubine Cui, and behind him stands the powerful Cui family and many wealthy families who have shared prosperity and disgrace with the Cui family. Because of these factors, many officials in the court have established good relations with him early, even the prime minister of the court.
They all supported him without hesitation.
He can even stay in Kyoto without going to the fiefdom. This is something that other princes combined do not have.
However, he is also unfortunate.
From the moment he knew what an emperor was, he knew that he would be an emperor in the future, and he could become an emperor without doing anything. As a result, he never wanted to make progress and was content with enjoying himself. He just wanted to be a royal dandy.
Someone was building momentum for him. His Highness, the King of Shu, had a broad mind, recruited talented people, was proficient in literature and military strategy, and was proficient in everything. He was indeed the best candidate to become the prince - and so he became the idiot he is today.
As luck would have it, at this moment, everyone understood the meaning of Xiang Qin's words.
The official whispered: "We'll talk about this on the road. Now, you should go to the palace immediately to apologize to His Majesty. There may be some room for redemption. If not, something big will really happen!"
Even though there were still many things he couldn't figure out, there was one thing he knew better than anyone else.
If he doesn't do what the other party says, his throne may really be gone.
At this point, he had fully sobered up from the wine he drank at night, and the pride of the day had been wiped away. He hurriedly said: "Prepare your horse, hurry up, prepare your horse quickly, I am going to the palace!"
A moment later, an angry voice came from outside the palace gate.
"Why, why don't you let me in!"
The leader of the imperial guard who was responsible for guarding the palace gate looked at the King of Shu and said: "Your Highness, the palace gate is closed at this time. If you want to enter or exit, you must have your Majesty's token. If not, please wait a moment, Your Majesty, we will send someone to get through immediately."
pass."
The King of Shu widened his eyes angrily, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am the King of Shu, you dare to stop me?"
"Sorry, this is my duty!"
The leader took a step back, and the guards around him had already gathered around him in a certain formation and broke into the palace gate without permission. No matter who the other party was, they would not be polite.
"Immediately send someone to tell you that I have something important to do and need to see my father!"
The King of Shu walked to the side of the palace gate and looked at the night sky with a ferocious expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and spoke every word.
"Who is harming me?"
…
…
"Of course it is me."
Li Yi looked at Miss Liu Er and said firmly: "Who else can think of such a high-end and elegant name? Just call it White Rabbit. Don't even think of Ruyi Candy and Xiaohuan Candy."
