Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth confession (a)
Jiaofang Hall.
There are more than a dozen royal chefs in the imperial dining room. Each of them prepares a few special dishes every day and sends them to the Jiaofang Hall. Whichever dish favors Empress Yu will be rewarded generously, which is also the dignity of the imperial chefs.
Today, all the princes and concubines stayed in Jiaofang Hall to have a meal. Empress Yu specially ordered to prepare more dishes. The royal chefs showed off their special skills, frying, frying, steaming, braised, sweet and sour. The dishes were exquisite and top-notch.
However, everyone was so heavy-minded that they had no intention of tasting delicious food. Especially Li Xiangru and Xiao Yuhan, they could hardly eat.
One was thinking about the safety of the fourth prince, and the other was thinking about the young man named Ding who suddenly appeared in the mansion last night. Sometimes he was thinking about the movements in the court, and sometimes he was worried about the emperor's wrath.
Even Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao were not in a relaxed mood.
All the princes were summoned to Yiqing Palace, and until the end, no one knew who would be the unlucky one.
Only Xie Mingxi looked calm and had a good appetite. She stood up from time to time and prepared dishes for Queen Yu: "This steamed mandarin fish is plump, tender and very delicious. The queen may wish to try it."
Queen Yu took a sip and praised with a smile: "It tastes really good."
The princes and concubines: "..."
If you don’t agree with anyone, just obey the Seventh Princess!
This was the man who calmly got on the sedan chair to pay homage to the prince’s palace on the day his newlywed husband was assassinated!
Now I don't know what is going on in the Qing Palace, but she is not panicked at all. She can still enjoy the delicacies and flatter her mother-in-law.
I accept it! I have to accept it!
Queen Yu obviously admired Xie Mingxi's calm demeanor. She glanced at the faces of the daughters-in-law and said with a faint smile: "You don't need to worry too much. The emperor loves his sons the most. Even if someone makes a mistake, he will not be punished severely.
.Just eat in peace."
Li Xiangru: "..."
After hearing this, she was no longer in the mood to eat.
Zhilan quietly walked in and reported in a low voice: "To the Queen, Eunuch Lu just sent someone to deliver a message. Young Master Sheng from the Huainan Palace has been summoned to the Yiqing Palace. In addition, Director Ding and his son from the Ministry of War have also been summoned.
He was carried into the Yiqing Hall. The imperial physician was also called in."
Zhilan's volume was not high, but it was enough to be heard by everyone who should hear it.
Queen Yu gave a faint hum.
Xiao Yuhan's heartbeat increased and he subconsciously raised his head to look at Li Xiangru.
Li Xiangru pursed her lips tightly and quickly lowered her eyes, avoiding Xiao Yuhan's gaze.
The battle to move the Qing Palace was closely related to the assassination of the seventh prince, and was also a battle between the third prince and the fourth prince.
In the final analysis, it is the battle for the East Palace!
What is the truth? In fact, there is not much concern. What everyone cares about is just who offends Tianyan in this matter, who wins the Sacred Heart, and is one step closer to the position of crown prince.
She and Xiao Yuhan were also destined to be on opposite sides. The friendship between classmates and friends in the past was now so weak that it was almost nothing.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Li Xiangru's face, and a sarcastic curve formed at the corner of her mouth.
The fourth prince dares to assassinate Sheng Hong, and he must pay the price for it!
Getting rid of Shengxuan is only the first step!
…
"Mr. Ding, has the fourth prince ever bribed you with gold, silver or a promising official position?"
After moving into the clearing hall, Sheng Hong squatted half-crouched in front of Chief Ding and asked slowly.
Sheng Hong's appearance is unparalleled in his beauty and beauty. It is in sharp contrast to the bloody and miserable Chief Ding.
Director Ding nodded laboriously.
"Director Ding, two months ago, you were supposed to be on duty in the warehouse, but your colleague, Director Wang, called you to drink wine all night. Is this true?"
Director Ding nodded again.
"This king's chief minister has a close relationship with Shengxuan on weekdays, right?"
"In the early morning of the next day, when you returned to the warehouse, you were surprised to find that three crossbows were missing. The other three people guarding the warehouse were led to roll dice in the middle of the night. That person's surname was Zhou, and he was also related to Sheng Xuan.
Pretty good. Are these all facts?"
Master Ding tried his best and said yes in a hoarse voice. Then, tears fell like rain, and his face was filled with regret.
The fourth prince standing aside no longer had his usual cold composure, his eyes burst out with angry flames. However, Emperor Jianwen had already agreed, and no matter how angry he was, he did not dare to open his mouth.
Sheng Xuan, who has been kneeling all the time, is even more mute and eating Coptis chinensis, which is very difficult to express.
That night, he sneaked into the warehouse of the Arsenal Department late at night and removed three crossbows on his own. It was said that he was unaware of the situation.
However, there will always be traces of what has been done.
This matter is too confidential and important. The fourth prince only directed behind the scenes and never took action. From the beginning to the end, it was all arranged by him. It was indeed his instructions to lure away Director Ding and the people on duty in the warehouse. As long as the investigation is carried out strictly, those people will be brought to justice.
The two men interrogated him again, and he was nowhere to be found.
Sheng Hong obviously had no intention of letting him go, and kept asking one question after another. Manager Ding either nodded, or tried his best to squeeze out the word "yes". The young man Ding Chuang on the side stared at him with an angry look as if he was looking at his father's enemy.
he.
None of this is terrible.
What's scary is that Emperor Jianwen's eyes are getting colder and colder.
The fourth prince's eyes became more and more erratic.
Sheng Xuan usually prides himself on being quick-witted and quick-witted, but at this moment, he was as confused as if he were carved in wood or stone.
What should he do?
Who else can save him?
…
No one can save Sheng Xuan!
The princes quietly exchanged glances.
If nothing else, just looking at Emperor Jianwen's angry and gloomy face, one knew that Sheng Xuan was doomed.
After trying hard to get away the three crossbows, these three crossbows were used to assassinate the seventh prince. As long as Sheng Xuan could not refute the first crime, the crime of assassinating the prince would fall on him.
Now, it depends on whether Shengxuan will find out the real mastermind...
It was impossible for Emperor Jianwen not to see such an obvious thing. Because of this, Emperor Jianwen was so angry.
What kind of brotherhood and brotherhood, what kind of harmony and harmony, what a big joke!
As an elder brother, he secretly ordered someone to assassinate his brother... Perhaps, the spring hunting in the Western Mountains three years ago was also the work of the fourth prince!
When Emperor Jianwen thought of this, his heart was as cold as ice.
The son whom I loved and valued the most in the past was now so strange and terrifying to my eyes!
This overwhelming anger could not be expressed in words. In the end, all the anger was directed at Sheng Xuan.
"Shengxuan!" Emperor Jianwen's eyes were cold and his tone was as cold as ice: "Can you plead guilty?"
These few words revealed a strong murderous intention.
Sheng Xuan's whole body trembled, and he looked at the fourth prince reflexively.
The fourth prince's face was expressionless, and his eyes were also fixed on Sheng Xuan.
Fight everything and you will die alone.
If you dare to say even half a word, the Huainan Palace will be destroyed along with you.
Sheng Xuan was agitated again, his handsome face was pale and bloodless. After a moment, he knelt down and said, "I plead guilty! All of this was done by me!"
