Chapter 306: Can't Delay Anymore
Ji Yunshu thought seriously and realized that Ning Huanyi was undoubtedly sent into the palace by Lin Huixue, and Prince Yong was behind Lin Huixue.
The emperor has few children, only a little prince born to the queen.
If Ning Huanyi's child is...
Thinking of this, her heart began to beat wildly: "No way, has Prince Yong become so bold? And doesn't he want to take the throne himself?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "This year, we've successively thwarted the conspiracies of Prince Yong's Mansion, and his power is no longer as strong as before. His advantage before was that he could hide in the dark, and no one knew what he was up to, so he could expand his power without restraint. But now some things have been exposed to the public, and most importantly, the emperor has a child. He can no longer delay."
Ji Yunshu suddenly realized that they had changed so much without realizing it.
The King of Yong, who was hiding in the dark, was forced to come out into the light.
Even the chess piece of Southern Xinjiang, which should not have been used, was brought out.
The emperor already has an heir, so even if something happens, he has a legitimate heir.
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for him to get promoted.
The emperor was also gradually eliminating his power.
The downfall of Prime Minister Lu in the court will inevitably cause him great losses.
If he delays any further, the chips in his hand will become fewer and fewer.
"Then how did the Emperor know? What is Concubine Yi's current situation?"
She did have some prejudice against Concubine Yi before. Although she guessed that she might also be a victim, she still couldn't like a woman who was involved with a married man.
"It was Concubine Yi who surrendered to the Emperor herself. She said that Prince Yong's Mansion threatened the lives of her clansmen, and that some in the clan would not tolerate her. She had no choice but to enter the palace."
Zhao Shen couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "She wanted to drink an abortion drug in front of the emperor, but the emperor didn't agree, so he told her to play along."
"What a clever girl."
He fought his way out of a dead end and found a way to survive.
Zhao Shen said, "That's roughly what happened. The emperor was poisoned by the poison because of her orders. It was the people in Prince Yong's Mansion who wanted to control her. They also arranged for Qiyun to enter the palace to detoxify her."
Ji Yunshu's mind was completely confused: "What's the point of all this trouble?"
Zhao Shen said, "We must make sure that Concubine Yi is absolutely reliable. She cast a spell on the emperor, and her entire tribe cannot bear the responsibility of regicide."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "In this case, she can only rely on Prince Yong. Prince Yong seems to particularly like to spend time on women."
Whether it's Yao or Lu Ningshuang, now there's another Ning Huanyi, which makes it hard to guard against.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It's true that women are surprisingly good at using it, but there are bound to be surprises. Isn't Ning Huanyi one of them?"
"I don't know what kind of person Prince Yong is."
After going through so many things, Ji Yunshu became curious about King Yong.
He ordered people to do so many things, but he never even showed up, and none of these things even had anything to do with him.
There is nothing a person like this can't accomplish, so why would he be so desperate as to seize the throne?
Zhao Shen said, "This prince went to Yongzhou a long time ago, and I haven't seen him many times. I can't really say who he is, but you will be able to meet him soon."
"He also came to Southern Xinjiang?"
"The princes are not allowed to leave their fiefdoms without being summoned. The Emperor's birthday is approaching, and he intends to take this opportunity to summon the princes to the capital."
Ji Yunshu asked doubtfully, "Will he come to the capital? Isn't he worried that the emperor will take action against him?"
Zhao Shen said, "You underestimate his courage. Besides, the emperor can't do anything to him, or else he would be giving him something to hold against him."
It is not a good reputation for the emperor to attack his own uncle for no reason.
Ji Yunshu was puzzled: "Then why did the emperor summon him to the capital?"
Zhao Shen said: "The capital is the emperor's territory after all. Although we can't do anything to him, it will be inconvenient for him to do anything he wants."
"So the emperor wants to confine him in the capital?"
Ji Yunshu thought this was a good idea.
Zhao Shen said, "I'm afraid confinement is impossible, but we can at least delay it for a while."
"oh"
Ji Yunshu knew that they wanted to do something during this time, but she felt that if Prince Yong really returned to the capital, things would not be so easy.
Look at it now, Prince Yong didn't even come to Southern Xinjiang, but Lin Huixue still managed to mess up Southern Xinjiang like this.
King Yong had some ability to plan and win battles from afar.
The two chatted as they walked, and Zhao Shen picked up some gold, silver and jewelry from time to time. Ji Yunshu didn't want to go out anymore.
However, Zhao Shen already knew the map of the mausoleum. Combined with the terrain and direction here, he quickly found the exit, which was still inside the mausoleum.
So after going around in a circle, they returned to the mausoleum.
Jingzhe and others, who were thought to have left, were still there.
Zhebei was tortured and almost turned into a bloody man.
When Bai Ling saw Ji Yunshu coming back, he couldn't help but call out, "Madam."
Her eyes were a little red and swollen, obviously she had been crying.
It was the first time Ji Yunshu saw Bai Ling cry, and she felt a little bewildered: "It's all my fault. I made you worry."
Bai Ling quickly said, "Madam, please don't say such things. It's my own fault that I've put you in danger."
Ji Yunshu comforted him, "Don't talk nonsense. You've already helped me a lot. I'm fine."
Yin Shu leaned against the wall and said impatiently, "You guys are lucky. Now that you're back, let's talk about what to do next. This guy is too restless. Even with his hands and feet broken, he can still cause trouble. In my opinion, it's better to kill him."
Ji Yunshu was a little hesitant. Although Zhao Shen was certain that the poison in his body had no cure, what if?
After all, Zhebie was the one who created the poison.
Zhao Shen looked at Zhebie without saying anything. He didn't consider the poison, but Zhebie was the leader of the Yuxi tribe. If he died here, it would be difficult to deal with the affairs of the Yuxi tribe later.
When Zhebie heard them discussing his life and death, he raised his bloodstained face and sneered, "Kill me if you dare."
Upon hearing this, Yin Shu looked at him coldly, and shot out a small knife in his hand, piercing directly into Zhebie's ribs.
Zhebie felt a sharp pain spreading throughout his body and couldn't help but let out a roar.
Yin Shu said disdainfully, "If I don't kill you, I have plenty of ways to make your life worse than death."
Zhebie glared at him but didn't say anything else. He was asking for trouble.
Ji Yunshu said, "Let's keep him. We need to explain clearly to the people of Yuxi's tribe what he did."
The fact that he used living people for experiments and studied the effects of those poisonous insects was enough to make him unacceptable to his own people.
Zhebie seemed to realize that there was no turning back, and he shouted, "Kill me!" and fell into a coma.
In the sealed stone chamber, the smell of blood on his body was very obvious.
Ji Yunshu knew that this couldn't have been done by Yin Shu, so he couldn't help but say to Jingzhe, "Just take your time with the trial. Why make it so bloody?"
Jingzhe lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly: "I was a little anxious, please forgive me, madam."
Ji Yunshu shook his head. What kind of crime was this?
"After all this, have you figured out anything?"
