Concubine Bai said this directly, not to mention that this woman was still being kept in her side palace.
"Rewards are essential, but punishments must also exist."
When hearing these words, although there was some worry on Concubine Bai's face, since things had already happened, she had to let things develop naturally.
"I heard that three assassins were left alive. The Minister of War, please go to the prison immediately and bring these three assassins to my attention. I must find out from them who is trying to murder me."
When receiving this order, no one dared to neglect it in the slightest.
Even Concubine Bai showed a hint of panic on her face after hearing the emperor's order, but at this time she could only pretend to be calm.
After a series of interrogations, the people from the Ministry of War naturally had some evidence.
This time they used all their means, so the results of the improvement were so shocking that even they themselves were shocked.
At this moment, the Minister of War came to the palace. Although the emperor was still recuperating, he still had this experience.
"I have already alerted the three prisoners according to the emperor's instructions, and under heavy pressure, they have told me all the secrets of the mastermind behind this."
While listening to the other party say this, the emperor still sat on the dragon throne, as if waiting for the next answer, but the expression on his face at the moment was very ugly.
What no one expected was that these three people did not act according to the agreement they had made with the prince.
On the contrary, he blamed everything on the prince and kept saying that the matter was entirely instigated by the prince.
"The testimony presented here confirms that there is no fault whatsoever."
The emperor was naturally very angry when he saw the above testimony, but at this moment he still had to make a foolproof plan.
"I certainly wouldn't dare to lie, and the Minister of Justice was also present at the time. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can have him testify together. Under our severe torture, the three men finally revealed that the Crown Prince was the mastermind behind this."
The Assistant Minister of War said this directly, and even he was shocked when he learned the answer.
"I have already detained those three people, just to prevent them from dying without evidence."
When the emperor heard these words, he was a little shocked. He never thought that his assassination was arranged by his own son.
"Immediately order the arrest of the prince."
Sure enough, after a while, people from the Ministry of War arrived at the East Palace.
"Your Highness, we are also acting in accordance with the imperial decree, so we would like to trouble you to come with us. If a real fight breaks out, no one will be able to bear it."
These words did shock Situ Yao, but no matter what, he could not escape any suspicion now.
"The innocent will be cleared, I will go with you."
After saying this, Situ Yao left with the people from the Ministry of War and was immediately imprisoned in the Sky Prison.
This incident naturally caused a different response in the court. Most people had never thought that so many things would happen during this period of time, but there were also many people who did not believe it.
Many old ministers who supported the prince came before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter. After all, the Crown Prince is a member of the Eastern Palace. It would be inappropriate to convict him based solely on the one-sided statements of those three prisoners."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we know the Crown Prince better than anyone else. How could he do such a heinous act?"
When the emperor heard these words from the ministers in the court, his face was very unhappy. He had never thought that so many people would support the prince.
Although the emperor was very angry at this time, he felt that there were some things that forced him to do so. No matter what, he really didn't know what to do about this matter.
Even when he first knew the answer, he felt that there was something unusual about it.
"If that's the case, then I'll give him a chance. I'll give him three days. If he can find the murderer and prove his innocence within these three days, then I'll forgive him. But if he can't find the murderer, don't blame me for being rude."
After the emperor said this, the other old ministers naturally thanked him repeatedly.
Although there are only three days, it is enough. What they need to do is to get the prince out of the sky prison as soon as possible.
No matter what, it would be inappropriate for a prince of his noble status to be imprisoned there.
Su Mengyan came to the place where the three assassins were imprisoned. This time she was determined to find out the truth. After all, the three did not do what they agreed to do.
"What's wrong with you? How can you be so untrustworthy?"
Su Mengyan said this directly. The assassins were speechless and indeed looked a little guilty. When they saw Su Mengyan's face, they showed an embarrassed look.
"Su Mengyan, I know it's too late to say anything now, but some things can't be carried out at will based on our thoughts."
As the dancer said this, she lowered her head in shame.
"What on earth could have caused you to suddenly change your minds during this period of time? I remember we had already discussed this matter that day."
"It's a long story, but all of this happened because I had no choice."
The dancing assassin shook her head as she said this. She was very grateful to the woman in front of her. After all, she got the antidote from her.
"What on earth is the reason that made you break your promise?"
Su Mengyan was a little angry at this moment. After all, their words were simply a fatal disaster for Situ Yao.
"I'm telling you, little girl, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by we broke our promise? Besides, this is just a collaboration."
The strong man said this with some impatience.
"Well, we were at fault in the first place."
At this moment, the dancing assassin could only say such soothing words.
"Miss Su, I'm truly sorry. The reason we changed our minds so suddenly is because not long after you left, Noble Concubine Bai's men came looking for us. They said our lord is in their hands."
As she said this, the dancer shook her head helplessly.
They are people who value their promises, so they did show some guilt for breaking the agreement they made last time.
