Soon his forehead turned red.
It must be unpleasant to take the blame for someone else.
Prince Yueqing's face is now as colorful as a palette. He might as well learn from Prince Duan and train his loyal followers, so he can't find any evidence against him.
[Thinking back then, I had Prince Duan fooled around, but now the situation has reversed.]
[Speaking of which, why hasn't Prince Duan appeared yet? Why hasn't he appeared at this hour? Is it because the tyrant has set up too strict security?]
Yu Yiluo paused when she thought of this.
[Fuck, how could I have overlooked this? Rather than throwing mud at Prince Yueqing, it would be easier for him to recover his identity after Prince Yueqing dies, leaving no evidence.]
[It's over. Prince Duan probably changed his mind after seeing the situation was not right. If he succeeds in clearing his name, wouldn't it be much easier for him to become a tyrant?]
emperor:"……"
Still want to clear your name? Dream on.
He deliberately relaxed the guards outside just to allow Prince Duan to enter the palace. If he still couldn't get in, it would be useless.
The emperor collected his thoughts and said, "Prince Yueqing did intervene in the Changshan County incident, but there is indeed someone else behind it."
Prince Yueqing was stunned when he heard this and almost thought he had misheard.
Isn’t the emperor interrogating him?
He actually missed such a good opportunity to accuse him.
[I have a feeling the tyrant is definitely trying to get back on his feet again, otherwise why wouldn't he charge Wang An of Yueqing with any crime?]
[Here we go, that little eunuch must be Prince Duan, right? It's really not easy to dress up like that to watch a play.]
Prince Duan finally found an opportunity outside the palace to sneak into the palace, and happened to hear the emperor's words when he came in.
He secretly raised his eyes to glance at the emperor and found that he was looking at him.
Was he discovered?
Prince Duan lowered his eyes. He had spent a lot of money to buy a human skin mask, so there was no way he would be discovered.
"I wonder if the Third Prince has found out who is behind this?" Prime Minister Li asked.
The Third Prince shook his head. "No, but this man deceived the people of Changshan into forging weapons. I think he was planning a rebellion."
He paused here and said, "This palace suspects that this person knows Prince Yueqing. He seems to know Prince Yueqing very well."
Prince Yueqing frowned. Who else did he know who had such courage and even made weapons? He was even more arrogant than him.
This person wants him to take the blame, so he can only be his enemy.
When thinking of his enemies, the faces of several princes who were executed that year appeared in Prince Yueqing's mind.
Impossible, they're all dead.
"Your Majesty, that little eunuch looks a little unfamiliar to me."
Eunuch Cao, who was standing behind the emperor on the right, noticed the unfamiliar Prince Duan and hurried forward to report.
He was more familiar with these palace maids and eunuchs who were allowed to serve in the palace than anyone else. This person had kept his head down when he came in, and he kept staring at the person when he raised his head just now. He always felt that the person did not look like a eunuch.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him."
Seeing that Prince Duan was about to leave, the emperor ordered Eunuch Cao to follow him.
[Eunuch Cao has quite good eyesight.]
[Hurry up and keep an eye on it, don't let the duck that's right in your mouth fly away. ]
"Prince Yueqing, although you didn't kill the magistrate of Changshan, you did instigate others to commit such a brutal act."
"And the ministers have also read the secret letter you sent to Yao Kang," the emperor said, looking at Prince Yueqing, "Have I wronged you in these matters?"
…
On the other side, Eunuch Cao, who was following Prince Duan out, lost him halfway.
Prince Duan realized that something was wrong and tried to get rid of Eunuch Cao in a roundabout way.
He cannot reveal his identity now, otherwise just sneaking into the palace will hinder him from regaining his status as a prince.
After all, with Prince Yueqing in front, the emperor will definitely be more cautious.
Eunuch Cao looked at the place where Prince Duan disappeared, and hurriedly turned around to order people to seal the palace gate.
After doing all this, he returned to report to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, we have lost the man. I have ordered the palace gates to be sealed. I don't think he can escape from the palace."
[Come on, do you think Prince Duan is stupid? He can't escape so he returns to the palace to fall into the trap?]
The emperor dismissed Eunuch Cao and saw Prince Yueqing directly take out the imperial edict.
"That's right, you didn't wrong me," he said, unfolding the will and walking before the ministers. "But so what? I just wrote a secret letter. Can you really convict me for that?"
At this point he laughed provocatively, "Brother Emperor, what crime do you want to convict me of? Execute me? Or imprison me?"
[Tsk tsk, are you starting to break the jar? That's impressive. Even if it's a broken jar, you still want to break it as loudly as possible, right?]
[By the way, why isn't Duke Rong here? As someone who fought alongside the late emperor, he probably has the other copy of the tyrant's two letters of commitment.]
What Yu Yiluo didn't know was that Duke Rong was still having dinner with his concubine at the moment and was completely unaware of this matter.
"Dad," Rong Guogong's eldest son, Yuan Can, hurried in, "Why are you still eating? Something happened in the palace."
Duke Rong glared at Yuan Can and asked unhappily, "What happened?"
"The Emperor wants to punish Prince Yueqing."
Hearing about this, Rongguo, who didn't care, snorted coldly, "What does it have to do with us?"
Yuan Can held his forehead, pulled Duke Rong up from his chair, and walked out, saying, "Didn't the late emperor give you a letter of commitment? Have you forgotten?"
Thinking of this, Duke Rong no longer cared about anything else and hurried to the study to get the letter of commitment.
How could he forget such an important thing? Could the emperor have already beheaded Prince Yueqing?
You can't blame him for chopping it off. He's old, so it's normal for him to forget about it.
"I have prepared the carriage, please get in quickly, Dad."
Duke Rong got on the carriage and urged the driver to go faster.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the palace gate. After explaining the situation to the guards, Duke Rong hurried towards the Golden Throne Hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prince Yueqing cannot be killed."
He ran into the hall panting, and only after saying this did he notice that Prince Yueqing was still standing there. The Golden Palace was very quiet, and everyone's eyes were on him.
[This is so funny! Duke Rong, are you here to protect me or to stir up trouble?]
"Your Majesty, this old minister pays homage." Duke Rong Guogong took a deep breath and took out the letter of commitment. "This is the letter of commitment that the late emperor entrusted to me for safekeeping. Your Majesty should recognize it."
Prince Yueqing was a little surprised. Looking at Duke Rong's attitude, he thought he was adding fuel to the fire, but he didn't expect that he was actually helping him.
"I recognize him, but everything Prince Yueqing does is enough to make him lose his head."
The Emperor then turned to Prime Minister Li and said, "Prime Minister, tell Duke Rong what happened."
After hearing what Prince Yueqing had done, Duke Rong forced a smile and thought to himself that he really deserved to die.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yueqing was confused for a moment, but fortunately he didn't cause any serious mistakes. Please let him go."
He racked his brains for a long time and finally said this, complaining in his heart why the late emperor gave him such a difficult job.
What made him even more puzzled was that the Prince of Yueqing, who was usually very talkative, was too lazy to even open his mouth.
"That's easy for Duke Rong to say."
General Yao said in a harsh tone, "Prince Yueqing himself didn't argue, and you, after hearing everything he did, actually said this. If he had treated your daughter like this, would you have let him go?"
