Chapter 341 Schrödinger's Efforts
"You and she are indeed mother and son, and your methods of doing things are exactly the same."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, like a hidden arrow, ready to be unsheathed at any time.
The emperor stopped abruptly, and Prince Yu continued: "Isn't the current He Yanting the same as you back then?"
He ignored the emperor's cold eyes after he turned around, and pretended to sigh: "Poor Lingyu, he foolishly thought that he had done something wrong and was hated by you."
"But he never thought that it was his so-called father who felt that the threat had been eliminated and it was time for his child to recognize his ancestors!"
The cell suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Prince Yu looked at Jiang Zhiyu with some pride. It was impossible for her to know such a secret of the royal family!
He couldn't wait to see Jiang Zhiyu being shocked and then the emperor silencing her.
However, Jiang Zhiyu's expression was calm, and the emperor looked at him coldly and asked, "How did you know?"
Prince Yu: "..."
How is it possible? !
Could it be that Jiang Zhiyu knew it a long time ago?
The emperor valued her so much? ! He
didn't even tell his own brother, but told her? ! ! !
Prince Yu's face was very distorted.
For the emperor, no matter how much Zhiyu knew, it was not surprising to him, but Prince Yu was different.
He was stupid and abnormal. If even he knew it, wouldn't everyone know it? !
[I know, although it is incredible, but this old Deng is just guessing. 】
【Relying on the clues provided by the ministers, and the Queen Mother's secret instigation. 】
【Although the emperor was very secretive, he still missed some things, and the Queen Mother found out. It was always inconvenient to move in the palace. The Queen Mother could not spare the time to investigate, so she could only instigate Prince Yu. 】
The emperor's eyes flickered. According to what Zhiyu said, Prince Yu was actually not sure, but his pause and questioning just now made him sure.
His brother is not very smart, but he is lucky.
Prince Yu gritted his teeth and planned to use this as a bargaining chip.
The emperor predicted what he would do, and before he could speak, he said, "If you want me to spare your life by this, you don't have to ask me to do it. I do want Yan Ting to return to his ancestral home. You also said that now that the threat has been eliminated, what does it matter if others know about it?"
"What's more, with Yan Ting's current ability, no one can touch him."
There was a hint of pride in his tone.
Prince Yu was choked by his words, and the last escape route in his hand was also cut off by the emperor. Prince Yu's expression was blank for a moment, and then he was furious.
"Why! Why have you always been praised since childhood? No matter how hard I try, I have never been in their eyes!"
The emperor frowned, and Jiang Zhiyu was the same.
Then the two of them said in unison: "What have you worked hard for?"
Prince Yu: "..."
He worked hard... He worked hard...
Tsk!
Jiang Zhiyu originally skimmed through the book to kill time, but later she accidentally traveled through the book and started to read it carefully from beginning to end.
Anyway, from beginning to end, she couldn't tell what Prince Yu had worked hard for.
The emperor asked sincerely according to his understanding of Prince Yu.
When he was young, he was protected by his father, the emperor and his mother. He didn't like to study, and every time he did something stupid, it was laughable. No one regarded him as a threat. Even his brother, who had fought with him for the throne, didn't expect that his younger brother would have the idea of turning against him. He was not on guard against him at all, so he was so relaxed. After
that, he took himself to the northwest. Even though the northwest was bitter and cold, he didn't miss any banquets and pleasures.
Now he's talking about working hard, haha.
In this regard, Jiang Zhiyu commented sharply:
[Schrödinger's efforts.]
The atmosphere once again became quiet, and the emotions that Prince Yu had been brewing also dissipated because of their questions. He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment.
"Today is the last time I will come to see you. If there is anything else to say, just say it all."
Hearing the determination in his tone, Prince Yu mocked: "I have nothing to say to a treacherous person like you... Remember, when I die, I will turn into a fierce ghost and make you unable to sleep every night!"
The emperor looked at him deeply, his eyes seemed to be full of nostalgia.
Then, he turned around and left. This time, no matter how Prince Yu scolded and begged behind him, he never looked back.
When he walked out of the door, he saw four "door gods". They were in pairs. When they looked at each other, the air seemed to be filled with thunder and lightning.
The emperor was stunned for a moment. When he blinked again, it seemed that everything just now was an illusion. The four people came over.
Coming to the torture chamber seemed to have used up all his energy for the day. The emperor waved his hands, his eyes full of fatigue: "Where is Xing Maozhi? Let him come over."
Xing Maozhi and Qianhu, who had been hiding in the dark, hurried forward two steps.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Have you all been examined?"
Xing Maozhi nodded. After the emperor's words were heard by everyone, they didn't need to examine them anymore. They all cried and confessed.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter has been clarified, all those who participated in this matter will be questioned and executed on a chosen day. This matter is all their fault, so there is no need to involve their clan."
Xing Maozhi bowed: "Your Majesty is benevolent, I will do it now."
The crime of treason, once confirmed, will lead to the extermination of all nine clans. The emperor's punishment is indeed worthy of the word benevolence.
However, everyone knows the reason why the emperor dealt with it this way.
Prince Yu launched a treason on the grounds that the emperor was not of royal blood. If there was no evidence, how could he attract the support of half of the court officials?
If the emperor still exterminated all nine clans as usual, and implicated others, it would be inevitable that he would be discussed by the people in the future as a way to silence them. Now that only himself is implicated, it proves that the emperor has a clear conscience and is not afraid of people mentioning this matter. It is
more resistant to public opinion than direct killing.
The emperor listened to Jiang Zhiyu's praise, and felt that his exhaustion was relieved a lot. However, the imperial prison was cold and not a good place for conversation. After giving instructions on how to deal with him, the emperor set off to return to the palace.
Coming out of the imperial prison and seeing the sun, he felt like he was reborn.
The emperor sighed deeply, and the depression in his heart seemed to be sighed out with this breath, and his expression eased a little.
When he was young, he had expectations for this younger brother.
Ever since he could remember, he had been following behind him like a little tail, never leaving his side.
The two of them were also friendly and respectful to each other.
Until his father pursued immortality, the palace Taoist priests and people who performed rituals were constantly coming and going. He followed his father and was busy all day. When he came to his senses, his brother who had always followed him was gone.
The emperor sighed again and put all these things behind him.
