Volume 1, Chapter 82: The thief is still determined and deserves death
Just like that, under such tight arrangements, the emperor sent Bai Qiong to marry.
As Bai Qiong embarked on the path of peace and marriage, Bai Si, the Second Prince's faction, and the remnants of the previous dynasty also began to make preparations.
Su Muyan and Shen Yin found out that even though they no longer had the financial support, they still secretly obtained money from somewhere and trained a group of people.
After Shen Yin and Shen Qiu made many inquiries, they found out that the Second Prince's men were secretly minting silver coins and selling official salt in the border areas.
The two men then realized that this was how the money they used to recruit soldiers and buy horses was earned.
But after knowing this news, Su Muyan and Shen Yin finally let go of the worry in their hearts.
In this way, the two people's private actions had already constituted a capital crime. As the saying goes, a prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner.
Su Muyan really wanted to know what kind of expression the emperor would have if he knew that his prince was overstepping his authority and secretly minting silver coins and selling official salt in the border areas.
How should these people be punished?
I thought, this is just like a desperate dog jumping over the wall and a desperate rabbit biting people!
I was just worried that there were no particularly obvious traces or evidence that could make the emperor sufficiently alert, but now these two people have fallen into my hands.
So, he decided to go all out and contacted his former spies in the court and secretly revealed the news to the emperor.
It would be better if these troubles were resolved as soon as possible!
I'm anxious to go back and get married! I don't want to waste time here.
Since ancient times, rulers have been extremely suspicious and distrustful of everyone. This has been a common problem among emperors throughout the ages.
So after the emperor learned the news, he immediately sent his confidants to secretly investigate these matters.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to find out. These things were indeed as the rumors said, and it was the Second Prince and Bai Si who were secretly operating.
Surprisingly, the two people followed the clues and found out some unknown secrets.
"You mean to say that they are secretly building up their own power and recruiting soldiers?"
A guard knelt in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the information I have gathered is indeed true."
At this moment, the emperor's mind was full of thoughts.
After a long pause, he said, "Great, very great. One is a real prince, and the other is a real prince consort. Yet, they have a rebellious heart!"
"It's really good!"
At this point, the emperor was fully aware of what the Second Prince, Bai Si, and the remnants of the previous dynasty were planning.
However, these three forces still thought they had hidden it well and had not been discovered by anyone.
They were completely unaware that from the moment they chose to privately mint coins and sell official salt, their outcome was doomed to failure.
After all, there’s an old saying: “A little lack of patience can ruin a great plan.”
They fell into the trap for a moment, could not bear it, and had no desire to use money to build power, so they did things they shouldn't have, which destined them to not be successful.
After Su Muyan and Shen Yin learned the news, they felt relieved. As long as the emperor knew about it, according to the current person's methods, he would definitely be able to settle the matter easily and easily.
After all, who can tolerate someone coveting his throne?
"Since the Emperor already knows about this matter, then I think the tragedy will not happen again. Can we go back now?"
Chen Yin thought for a moment and said, "Yan'er, let's just observe here for a while. Who knows if anything unexpected will happen?"
After this matter was completely over, we left peacefully, never setting foot in the capital again, and lived our own lives.
After listening to this, Su Muyan nodded to indicate that she understood.
He had traveled thousands of miles and even used his own helicopter to come here. Wasn't this the reason for this? Or, as Chen Yin said, let's do it beautifully and without any mishaps, and then go back peacefully!
The two people here can finally drink peach blossom wine quietly during the day and play the piano and sing music at night. They look so comfortable.
The situation in the imperial palace was turbulent, and the air pressure in the throne room was extremely low.
The emperor thought that they would force him to abdicate at his birthday banquet tomorrow, and that it was his own prince and his wife who were colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Thinking of this, the emperor was so angry that his liver hurt!
His heart was pounding, but he still instructed his reliable people to make all the necessary arrangements.
In this way, the Second Prince and Bai Si colluded with each other, and the remnants of the previous dynasty were ready. They planned to collude with each other inside and outside at the emperor's birthday banquet tomorrow, when the emperor was not paying attention.
Little do they know that all these are the precursor to inviting the enemy in and then beating the dog behind the closed door, if they don’t seem to realize that they have no way out!
The next day, explosive news came from the capital.
Passerby A: "Have you heard? The Second Prince and his wife are colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty and planning a rebellion. I heard the Emperor is going to order their execution."
Passerby B: "No way, one is his own prince, and the other is his son-in-law, how could they possibly do something like a rebellion?"
The man from before shook his head and said, "You don't understand. That's the throne. It's too tempting for people."
Passerby B thought about it and it seemed to make sense, so he didn't say anything else. Instead, the two of them went together and followed the crowd to watch the excitement outside Wumen.
Sure enough, when Su Muyan and Shengyin were sitting by the window on the second floor drinking wine and eating food, they saw the Second Prince and Bai Shi being shackled and handcuffed and paraded through the streets.
"I heard both mansions were raided!"
"It's really like the wheel of fortune turns over and over again. It's finally come to Bai Si's head."
To be honest, at this moment, Su Muyan was thinking: "If Bai Si hadn't harbored evil intentions, would this be the outcome?"
But after thinking about it, I shook my head and rejected this answer.
Bai is a person like that, with such huge ambitions, how could he possibly be inferior to others and be willing to be an adopted son?
So now, no matter whether his family has the current ending, or whether Bai Si finally reaped the fruits of his own labor and experienced the feeling of the princess's mansion being ransacked, all of this is just a matter of one's thoughts!
Su Muyan and Shen Yin sat by the window, waiting for the parade to gradually move away and disappear from their sight, then they stood up and prepared to go back!
"Yan'er, things here have come to an end, it's time for us to go back!"
"good!"
