I'm afraid someone is trying to frame me.
As for who put the blame on...
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Anwu, go contact the spies in Prince Ning's and Prince An's mansions and find out what these two have been doing recently.
Don't let those assassins die, lock them up first.
Also, regarding Prince Kang, Fuquan, take the guards and bring Prince Kang into the palace. Be very high-profile and spread the news that Prince Kang sent assassins to kill me on the way to the imperial mausoleum."
Eunuch Fuquan was startled, but he still agreed with a stammer, "Yes."
At this time, Prince Kang was happily watching his daughter playing with the little tiger cub, completely unaware that he was about to be taken into the palace.
However, Song Jiujiu, who was stroking the fluffy tiger, frowned and had a vague premonition.
[Suddenly I have a bad feeling, what's going on?
I don’t know if I’ll have enough time to have a precognitive dream if I sleep now.
I'll try it first.
Little tiger, do you want to sleep? I'll hold you and let you sleep, be good.
After communicating with the little tiger cub, Song Jiujiu lay down on the blanket and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
The little tiger cub also stuck to Song Jiujiu obediently, with its little tail wrapped around her wrist.
Ye Peizhu and King Kang looked at each other and couldn't laugh anymore.
A bad feeling...
Ye Peizhu was worried that her daughter would catch a cold, so she brought a small quilt to cover her and the little tiger cub.
The couple waited by the side to hear what their daughter said in her heart when she had the precognitive dream.
After a while, Song Jiujiu's baby voice rang in the ears of Prince Kang and his wife.
[Big chicken drumstick! Hehehe, so fragrant! Super delicious!
The fried pork ribs are so fragrant and the meat is delicious! They are all mine! Hehehe.
Prince Kang and his wife: “….”
Ye Peizhu said in a low voice, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Your Highness, since Jiuer didn't have a precognitive dream, nothing should happen."
Prince Kang nodded. "Based on our previous experience, even if something does happen, it won't be a big deal. Let our daughter sleep, and I will be out for a while."
"good."
As soon as King Kang got up and went out, he saw the housekeeper rushing over.
As soon as he saw the butler, Prince Kang's eyelids twitched.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Highness! The eunuch from the palace is here! Everyone outside knows that you, Your Highness, sent an assassin to kill the Emperor!
The eunuch is here to arrest you! Your Majesty, do you want to hide?"
The housekeeper spoke anxiously, his voice a little loud. Ye Peizhu in the room vaguely heard the sound and hurried out to check.
"Everyone outside knows about this? Did the eunuch in the palace tell them?"
King Kang felt uneasy. How could he publicize something that had not yet been confirmed?
"Yes, because someone asked, the eunuch told the reason. Once it spread, it spread to two, two, three, and soon the whole capital knew about it!
Your Majesty, your reputation will be affected!
"Your Highness, do you want to hide? I have asked someone to stop the eunuch and prevent him from coming in for the time being!"
The housekeeper's words made Ye Peizhu's face turn cold.
"Who told you to stop the eunuch? Who told you to persuade the prince to hide?
It is obvious that the prince has a clear conscience and has not done anything to assassinate the emperor.
After what you have done, everyone would think that the prince asked you to do this because he was guilty!
What exactly are your intentions? How dare you harm the prince like this?!"
Ye Peizhu shouted harshly, and the housekeeper was so scared that he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!
I was worried about the prince, so I acted on my own!"
"I don't remember telling you that you can make your own decisions!
Your self-willed actions will kill the prince!
If you don't want to sit in the steward's seat, there are others who do!"
After Ye Peizhu scolded them, applause was heard outside the yard.
Ye Peizhu's eyes flashed, and she looked up in the direction of the voice, and saw Eunuch Fuquan walking into the yard with a smile.
Eunuch Fuquan was followed by several young eunuchs, which was quite grand.
"Eunuch Fuquan, I'm sorry for being so rude! How dare this servant overstep his authority and not let you in? I've already taught him a lesson.
But what did the Emperor order? Why did he ask you to come here in person?
Ye Peizhu chuckled, acting with discretion, showing the demeanor of a mistress of a royal palace.
"Prince Kang, Princess Kang, this matter, hey, the assassination that happened on the mountain today.
The emperor has ordered people to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Guess what happened?
Those assassins all said that it was you, Prince Kang, who ordered them to kill the emperor!"
Eunuch Fuquan shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty naturally doesn't believe it. After all, everyone can see how much Prince Kang admires you.
But since the assassin said so, Prince Kang should be interrogated according to the procedure.
The Emperor is worried that you two are worried, so he specially sent an old servant to invite Prince Kang to the palace.
Don't worry, if there really is another mastermind behind this, the Emperor will definitely not wrongly accuse you, Prince Kang!
Then please ask Prince Kang to follow this old servant into the palace."
Ye Peizhu's eyes were filled with worry, "So that's how it is. This is simply an unprovoked disaster. I just hope that the Emperor can quickly investigate the truth and catch the real culprit!
After all, if the real culprit is not caught, the emperor's safety cannot be guaranteed.
My Lord, please go into the palace. I will take good care of the children."
Prince Kang nodded, and Ye Peizhu gave Qiuyun a look, "Qiuyun, go see the prince and the eunuch off."
"yes."
Qiuyun agreed and followed.
Ye Peizhu frowned and lowered her eyes to look at the housekeeper who was still kneeling on the ground.
