Today, there are so many people attending the wedding banquet at the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, including people from the court, officialdom, business community... all kinds of people are there.

What happened spread rapidly as if it had wings, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand.

Within two hours, everyone knew that Prince Li was suspected of treason and murdering Prince Chen, and the whole world was talking about it.

Those who agree, those who support, those who criticize, those who watch the show...

Away from the palace.

During the period of house arrest, the palace was guarded by the Imperial Guards and the gates were closed. No outsiders were allowed to enter or leave or approach. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Hall.

Zong Zhengli sat quietly, closed his eyes, his face looked normal, his expression indifferent, and he seemed calm, no one knew what he was thinking about.

On the other hand, Qin Jiaojiao on the side was so anxious that she was fidgeting and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, pacing back and forth constantly:

"what to do?"

"Your Majesty, did you really do such a thing? If the Emperor finds evidence, what kind of punishment will he impose? Will he send us to the clan house?"

"Zi Ye is not around..."

"I am Ziye's biological mother. The emperor won't do anything to us, right?"

She was worried and worried to the point of being unable to bear it.

Looking at Prince Li again, he was as calm as if nothing had happened.

Qin Jiaojiao couldn't sit still anymore, so she ran away.

As soon as she left, King Li opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty."

Wu Nu is here.

"What do you think?" Zong Zhengli picked up the teacup beside him and asked in a calm voice.

Wu Nu analyzed calmly: "He is the king, how can he let others hold him hostage? He confined you just to get all the medicine in your hand."

It's very simple.

If Prince Li gives all the medicine to the Emperor, the Emperor will lift his house arrest.

At the same time, if this is done, Prince Li will no longer be able to control the emperor, and he will become a discarded pawn if something goes wrong next time.

The emperor's actions gave Zong Zhengli a choice:

To lift the ban or to be permanently confined.

It all depends on whether Zong Zhengli gives the medicine or not.

Zong Zhengli sneered.

This old man, at such an old age, always wants to live forever. What's the point of living so long? The country is still the same country. Can he take the country to the ground by living a few more years?

"I originally wanted to take things step by step and let that old man live a few more years, but I didn't expect him to use the Gu family's affairs to force me. If that's the case..."

His eyes turned cold, and he clenched the teacup in his hand, with his knuckles turning pale.

A cold light flashed in his eyes:

"Then don't blame me for being merciless!"

.

At the same time, on the other side, after Qin Jiaojiao returned to the house, she immediately wrote a letter and asked the servant who went out to buy groceries to pass it to Prime Minister Qin.

The court today is divided into two groups: one is Prince Li and the other is Prince Chen.

The officials naturally split into two groups.

Prime Minister Qin had to choose between King Li and King Chen.

Under the current circumstances, Prince Li lacks some momentum, but Prince Li gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, and Qin Jiaojiao is an easy person to control. If Prince Li is supported, the Qin family will definitely benefit when he ascends the throne one day.

Looking at Prince Chen again, Prince Chen has never been close to the Qin family, and Qin Ye is not his biological child.

Qin Ye is wild and disobedient. He hates the Qin family and also hates him.

If he went to help Qin Ye, it would be like trying to please a cold butt.

Comparing the two, he prefers King Li.

Just because he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he also supports Prince Li.

In response to Qin Jiaojiao's request for help, he immediately replied:

——The full moon banquet for the emperor’s eldest grandson is a great opportunity, make good use of it.
