It was really not him who sent people to ambush Qin Jiyan!
"Father, I really didn't send someone to ambush Ji Yan, it really wasn't me. Father, you have to believe me, you have to believe me." King Zhou knew that if he couldn't get the old emperor's trust, he would be completely finished.
.
At this time, the King of Zhou did not care about his image and face. He climbed directly to the old emperor's feet, hugged the old emperor's legs and cried...
"Father, please believe me, please let me investigate, let me investigate this matter thoroughly, okay? Father, I am innocent, really innocent..."
At this time, King Zhou really wanted to hit a pillar to prove his innocence, but it was useless, because the old emperor helped him up and said gently: "Father, I believe in you!"
The word "believe" knocked back all of King Zhou's excuses, but just when King Zhou was fully expecting the old emperor to change his decision, the old emperor threw King Zhou into the abyss with one word.
The old emperor said: "It is precisely because my father believed in you that I sent you to the fiefdom."
"Father, why? I don't want to go to the fiefdom, not at all." Especially that ghost place in western Yunnan, where money is needed but no money is needed, and people are needed but no one is there. Is there any way out for him if he goes there?
He is a prince, so even if he wants to go to a fiefdom, he should not go to western Yunnan.
"Fourth..." The old emperor took King Zhou's hand and said pleasantly: "I am your father, so no matter what you say, I will believe you; but, I am also the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Sixteen years ago, I left the village
I won’t let it happen again.”
"Father, father..." The old emperor's voice was very gentle, but King Zhou only felt the coldness that penetrated his bones.
He never thought that his father, who let them go, would mention this matter sixteen years later. Is this telling him that he was the one who was abandoned sixteen years ago?
"You should be glad that you are my son. Think about what happened to the Wu family and the Yue family back then." The old emperor still used a gentle and loving voice and said extremely cold words.
At this moment, King Zhou no longer dared to plead for mercy. King Zhou knelt down again and said tremblingly: "Father, I know that I am wrong. I know that I am wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. Father... I know that I am wrong."
I just packed up my things and went to western Yunnan and never returned to Beijing." It was lucky to be able to survive at this time, and he couldn't ask for more.
"Father, I believe that you will never make similar mistakes again." Even if you want to, you don't have the ability.
"Father, don't worry, I will never dare to do it again." King Zhou suppressed his grief, anger and fear, and solemnly kowtowed three times to the emperor: "My son is unfilial, so I bid farewell to my father."
"Go..." The old emperor patted King Zhou on the head. King Zhou couldn't hold back and cried again.
King Zhou was really sad and regretted...
Sad, my father is so heartless!
I regret not rebelling like King Zhao!
However, it is useless to be sad or regretful now. He has nothing now, and he has no ability to rebel even if he wants to.
"Good boy, you will be grateful to your father in the future." The old emperor sighed softly and asked Eunuch Situ to tidy up the king of Zhou before letting him leave.
After King Zhou left, Eunuch Situ brought a cup of herbal tea to the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed many old people in the Imperial Guard who have turned to His Highness."
"Have you found out everything?" The old emperor took a sip of tea and closed his eyes, looking satisfied.
"Confirmed without a doubt." Eunuch Situ nodded affirmatively, and the old emperor said without raising his eyes: "Deal with all the people." He did not leave any traitors behind.
"Yes!" Eunuch Situ turned around and stepped back. He had just taken two steps when he heard the old emperor say: "Those in the prison have also been dealt with."
"I understand." Eunuch Situ bowed his body and retreated slowly without making a sound...
In Prince Qin's palace, Qin Jiyan, who had been recovering from his injuries for three days, closed his eyes and leaned on the bedside, listening to the secret guard reporting the investigation results.
It was no surprise that the group of masters who ambushed him were not from King Zhou at all, but were sent by his grandfather.
Test him and protect the king of Zhou.
In Qin Jiyan's view, the old emperor took advantage of this incident to send King Zhou to western Yunnan to protect King Zhou, because...
The old emperor was afraid that Qin Jiyan would attack the King of Zhou after he came to power.
King Zhou and Concubine Shu were not only involved in killing the prince, but also killed Qin Jiyan countless times. Qin Jiyan would only be guilty if he let Concubine Shu and King Zhou go.
After the secret guard finished explaining what had happened, he added: "There are three Jinyi Guards from a thousand households and four from a hundred households. They exposed themselves because they were worried about His Highness. The Emperor is afraid that they already know their identities."
"Send someone to rescue them!" Qin Jiyan ordered without hesitation.
"Your Highness..." The secret guard hesitated slightly.
To save someone from the emperor is to break up with the emperor!
"Do as I say." The old emperor found out that he had planted people in Jinyiwei, so what does it mean if he rescued them?
"I understand!" The secret guard did not try to persuade him any more, and his responding voice sounded louder than every time before.
Although this move was risky, the secret guard was still very excited about Qin Jiyan revealing his strength and saving the Jin Yiwei.
Your Highness can save the Jin Yiwei today, and your Highness will not abandon them tomorrow!
The secret guard tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart and continued: "Your Highness, King Zhou and Concubine Shu will leave the capital in three days. Do you want to make arrangements?"
King Zhou only brought 300 soldiers to western Yunnan this time. It is not difficult to deal with King Zhou's family, but...
Qin Jiyan had no such plan.
"No need, protect them to go to western Yunnan safely!" If something happened to King Zhou's family on the way, even if he didn't do it, the world would think it was him. Just like this time, it was clearly not King Zhou who sent someone to ambush him.
He, but everyone thought that the murderer behind the scenes was the King of Zhou.
"Yes." The secret guard naturally did not dare to disagree.
Qin Jiyan asked a few more questions, and finally said: "Is there any news from Qiancheng?"
"When Miss Gu knew that Your Highness was fine, she sent word that she would go to Jiangnan first without waiting for you." When the secret guard said this, he moved back without leaving a trace, but...
The expected chill did not come over, on the contrary, their highness even smiled!
This, what is going on?
Why do you feel like the style of painting is wrong?
But the next second, the painting style was right again!
As soon as Qin Jiyan raised his eyes, he saw the secret guard looking blankly at his face, and then said with a cold face: "Get out!"
"Yes, yes..." The secret guard ran out almost rolling and crawling.
Qin Jiyan received the news that Gu Qiancheng was going to Jiangnan alone, and of course the old emperor also received the news. This made the old emperor even more confused, "Is there really nothing between Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng?"
If anything, when Gu Qiancheng heard the news that Qin Jiyan was seriously injured and dying, could he still go to Jiangnan like a normal person?
Can Ji Yan trust a girl's family in Gu Qiancheng and go to Jiangnan alone?
"It's hard for me to talk about this matter. His Highness values Miss Gu very much and even sent secret guards to protect her." The most taboo thing about being a slave is to make conclusions at will. If things don't match the conclusions he made, his life will be ruined.
.
Faced with the calm and rational Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan, the old emperor did not give up. "Send someone to keep an eye on her. If she is in a different place, she will act cheaply immediately. If she finds "Yi Guo Zhi", she will be killed immediately!"
Apart from keeping an eye on people urgently, the old emperor really couldn't think of a second way...
