Chapter 90: Imprisoned in a Secret Prison



As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Yiluo laughed out loud.

[The time-traveling girl is really unscrupulous in her efforts to drag the Third Emperor into this trouble. How come I didn't know that the Third Emperor is color blind?]

Thinking of this, Yu Yiluo suddenly remembered the plot in the book.

[So in the book, the time-traveling woman used the same method to use the fourth emperor to kill the scarred man, not because the scarred man wanted to molest her, but to silence him.]

[Because she mistakenly believed that if the father was color blind, the son would also be color blind. Since the third prince didn't have it, it proved that he was the emperor's child. So, was she killing the scarred man to conceal the male protagonist's identity?]

Yu Yiluo shook her little head.

[Doesn't the time-traveling woman know that a father's color blindness won't be passed down to his son? She even made up a lie that the male protagonist is also color blind to fool the ministers.]

The scarred man sneered and looked at Yang Xin. "You're really stupid if I say you're stupid. I asked you this question just to test you, but you turned around and wanted to kill me. Who told you that a father's color blindness can be passed down to his son?"

Yang Xin lowered her eyes, so she remembered it wrongly?

But now that the words have been spoken, wouldn't it be inappropriate to change my words?

I just hope these old fogies don’t know what is hereditary or not, so that they can confirm that the Third Prince is a remnant of the Yulou Kingdom.

"I didn't even know when I became color blind."

The third prince walked in with a smile and bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought Imperial Physician Lin here. Let Imperial Physician Lin clear up your confusion!"

The ministers who were originally wavering stopped talking and saw the crown prince, the second prince and the fourth prince entering one after another.

Following behind was Doctor Lin.

After the few people saluted, Doctor Lin looked at Yang Xin with a smile.

"Are you sure color blindness is hereditary?"

Seeing his determined expression, Yang Xin began to waver.

This imperial physician looks young but full of confidence. Why not just say that he remembered it wrong?

Anyway, since they said that the third prince would not inherit the gene, can't we also assume that the third prince is Deng Feng's child, unless they can have evidence to prove that the third prince is the emperor's child.

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly," Yang Xin narrowed her eyes. "Since you said it's not hereditary, and the Third Prince doesn't have color blindness, how do you prove he's the Emperor's child?"

[Tsk tsk, the time-traveling woman is convinced that paternity testing wasn't possible in ancient times, so she's trying to set the tone here. Luckily, the tyrant consulted Imperial Physician Lin, who is knowledgeable and experienced. Wait until the time-traveling woman gets slapped in the face.]

Doctor Lin did not answer her question directly, but turned to look in the direction of the Minister of Justice, Lord Qin.

"Sir Qin, I've read the records about Deng Feng, and they say he was killed in prison. Is that true?"

Aren't we talking about the Third Prince? Why are we asking about Lord Qin again? The ministers looked puzzled.

Lord Qin agreed, but nodded nonetheless.

"That's right, but the strange thing is that his injuries weren't serious, yet he was bleeding all over the floor. So it's more accurate to say he died from bleeding than from being hit."

Although he found it strange, Deng Feng was already dead at that time, so he did not pursue the reason.

"This proves that the third prince is the emperor's child." Doctor Lin retracted his gaze and bowed to the emperor.

"I've seen this disease mentioned in an ancient book. People with this disease are called 'glass people.' Their bodies are very fragile, unlike normal people. Normal people stop bleeding when they're scratched, but they bleed profusely in severe cases. This disease is hereditary in boys."

[Wow, isn't this modern hemophilia? Doctor Lin really knows a lot.]

"My dear ministers, are you still questioning the Third Prince's status? Come, those of you who just ordered the Third Prince's execution and accused me of taking human life lightly, do you still have any objections?"

How could those who were chosen dare to raise any objections? It was obvious that the emperor came to court only because he had evidence. It would be very ignorant for them to say anything more.

Seeing these people pretending to be dead, the emperor snorted coldly, "From now on, if you discuss the Third Prince's affairs, you will be executed immediately. Anyway, the Autumn Examination has just passed, and the Spring Examination will begin after the New Year. Even if I kill you, there will be no shortage of people to take over the position."

[The tyrants are starting to get cocky now that they have talented people to hire. This is a clear message to them: if they don't behave, they'll be laid off.]

The ministers hurriedly bowed and said, "We obey your command."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and looked at the scarred man and Yang Xin. "The man will be executed immediately, and the woman will be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's secret cell."

When Yang Xin heard about this punishment, her face turned pale. She had read books and knew how horrible the secret prison of the Ministry of Justice was. It was filled with all kinds of death row prisoners. What was the difference between this and directly executing her?

She looked at the Fourth Prince with a pleading look on her face, but when she tried to speak, she was gagged and dragged out.

The Fourth Prince pretended not to see it and looked away.

This man almost made him go to see the King of Hell, and he hasn't even paid back the money he owes him. Now he actually wants him to plead for him. What kind of dream is he?

"Your Majesty is wise, but if the remaining remnants of the Yulou Kingdom are not eliminated, they will always be a hidden danger!"

The Emperor stared at the speaker for a moment, then stood up. "While you were harping on the Third Prince's identity, he had already wiped out the remaining perpetrators of the Yulou Kingdom. Does he still need your reminder?"

He started to walk away, but after two steps he paused, "Master Qin, follow me to the Imperial Study."

Lord Qin followed the emperor to the imperial study, and the emperor gave his orders directly after he sat down.

"Just lock that woman up and keep her under observation. Don't torture her, and don't let her commit suicide."

If I hadn't been concerned about Miss Yang's health, I would have really wanted to have someone kill her with a knife.

"Your Majesty, why not hand him over to the Dali Temple for detention?"

The emperor doesn't want anyone to die, so it would be more appropriate to send him to the Dali Temple.

"Do as I say. If someone dies, you will be held responsible."

He had thought about interning at the Dali Temple before, but Yang Xin’s father, Yang Wen, would be taking up his post at the Dali Temple next year. In case Yang Wen took pity on his daughter and committed corruption for personal gain, he didn’t want the career of Yang Wen, a good official, to be ruined because of the time-traveling girl.

[Today is such a good day! The time-traveling girl can finally stop causing trouble. Now the hero and heroine should be able to be together happily!]

After Lord Qin left the imperial study, Eunuch Cao served tea to the emperor.

"Do you think I don't care enough about my children?" The emperor took the tea and asked Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, so it's inevitable that he has neglected the princesses. If Your Majesty feels bad, you can arrange marriages for them. After all, they are all of marriageable age."

The emperor took a sip of tea and stood up. "I forgot to go to Concubine De's bedroom."

[Ouch, I'm going to Concubine De's bedroom. I'll pray for her. She better be copying Buddhist scriptures, otherwise her character will collapse.]

Could it be that Concubine De is having an affair in broad daylight?

The emperor was puzzled, as the least worrying people in the palace were Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

But when Luo'er said this, he always felt a little uneasy.

He arrived at the gate of Concubine De's palace with full of doubts. The emperor did not let anyone know and walked in directly.
