That night, the Feng family was wiped out. She mistakenly believed that it was because of the late emperor Feng's family that this disaster happened, so she put aside her inner hesitation and investigated the matter to avenge her parents.
When she found out everything, she realized that the Feng family was not wiped out because of the late emperor, but it was too late. At that time, he already had concubines and children.
[Oh my, why is the Prince of Yueqing silent? Is he mute?]
[You were so arrogant just now, you little brat, thinking no one could stop you.]
[You still want to show off with the will, but can you show off more than the sword in Feng Yi's hand?]
"Your Majesty, I am here today to return these two things."
Eunuch Cao took the things and presented them to the emperor.
When Prince Yueqing saw the sword being handed to the emperor, he began to panic.
He looked at Duke Rong, hoping he would say something, but Duke Rong seemed not to see him and said to the Emperor:
"Your Majesty, the crime committed by Prince Yueqing is indeed punishable by death. Please execute Prince Yueqing to appease the public anger."
[Haha, Duke Rong is truly adaptable.]
Prince Yueqing glared at Duke Rong, not only not helping him, but also fanning the flames.
The ministers followed suit.
When they quieted down, Feng Yi said, "Now that the things have been returned, I'll leave first."
"Master Du," the Emperor stood up, "bring the man back to the Dali Temple to sign and seal the agreement. He will be executed at noon tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yueqing knew that he had completely lost. He stood there like a wooden stake, and his resentment towards the late emperor reached its peak at this moment.
He resented why he kept the imperial sword and why he was not allowed to be the emperor.
It's obvious that the emperor likes him the most, and it's obvious that he can also be the emperor, but why doesn't the emperor believe that he can do it well?
With a dejected look on his face, Prince Yueqing allowed the guards to take him away without any resistance.
The only chip in his hand has lost its effect, and everything he does is in vain.
…
When the matter of Prince Yueqing was concluded, a guard hurried in to report.
"Your Majesty, the man has been caught."
The emperor left the Golden Palace with his ministers.
The confused ministers wondered who had been caught.
An accomplice of King Yueqing?
When the group arrived at the palace gate, Prince Duan was escorted by two guards, his face looking very gloomy.
He asked how it was so easy for him to get in. It turned out that the emperor wanted him to fall into a trap. He was so careful, so how did the emperor find him?
"Your Highness."
The emperor asked the captain of the guards to stand up and looked at Prince Duan. "Who gave you the courage to break into the palace?"
"Your Majesty, this man is silent."
The chief guard stepped forward and said, "He remains silent no matter what I ask."
[He's quite cautious, perhaps worried that his voice might reveal his identity.]
[You've been thinking too much. Tyrant has almost forgotten what you look like, let alone your voice.]
"Father, let me give it a try."
The third prince walked up and pinched Prince Duan's chin, his expression paused.
"This person is wearing a mask of human skin."
Since Prince Duan doesn't want to reveal his identity now, he might as well help Prince Duan.
Prince Duan's body stiffened, and he tried to break free from the Third Prince's grip. But before he could break free, the Third Prince had already torn off the human skin mask on his face.
The ministers, full of doubts, were extremely surprised when they saw Prince Duan's face.
"You are the one behind Changshan County, right?" The third prince stared at Prince Duan.
Prince Duan lowered his eyes and remained silent. Taking advantage of everyone's surprise, he shook off the two guards who were escorting him, took out the smoke bomb he had prepared and threw it on the ground.
The emperor raised his hand to cover Yu Yiluo's mouth and nose, worried that Yu Yiluo would inhale it.
[Alas, the duck that was about to be caught flew away.]
The smoke cleared and Prince Duan was no longer in sight.
The emperor frowned.
"From now on, we will fully arrest Prince Duan. Anyone who sees him will be killed on the spot."
…
In just one day, two major events happened in the capital.
One is that Prince Yueqing will be executed tomorrow, and the other is that the whole city is looking for the "dead" Prince Duan.
The entire city was under martial law, and all checkpoints leading out of the city were under inspection.
Prince Duan returned to his residence and gave instructions to his subordinates.
"Pack up your things and leave the capital."
His identity has been exposed, and coupled with the crime of sneaking into the palace, the emperor will definitely have people hunting him down everywhere.
The subordinates knew that something had happened without asking, so they quickly turned around to pack up their things and left the palace with Prince Duan.
"Master, it seems that we can't get out."
Seeing the strict inspection at the checkpoint, Prince Duan had no choice but to return to his mansion to find a solution.
In any case, he must leave the capital now.
The mansion belongs to someone else. If they live in it, they will be discovered sooner or later. It is not a long-term solution.
But what Prince Duan couldn't understand was why the emperor was not at all surprised to see that he was still alive.
At that time, the King of Yueqing agreed to rebel with them. They charged at the front and the King of Yueqing supported them. However, when the King of Yueqing saw that the situation was not right, he turned around and sold them out.
Fortunately, he was smart. He killed his confidants and then burned down the palace, creating the illusion that he was burned to death in the palace.
He has worked hard to survive until today and must not be caught.
fire?
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Prince Duan's eyes, and he ordered his subordinates.
"Go make a pot of hot tea."
"Master, what are you doing?"
The subordinates were puzzled, as the weather wasn't cold at all.
Shouldn't they be thinking about how to leave the capital now? How could the master still be in the mood for tea?
"Just go if you're told to."
Soon, the subordinates prepared hot tea and placed it on the table. Prince Duan took a look at the steaming teapot, picked it up and handed it to the subordinates.
"Pour it on my face."
The subordinate was so frightened that he put the teapot on the table and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I dare not."
