Chapter 392 Are you staying here to watch the eagle?
"In this way, He Yuan took the initiative to denounce Long Feibai, which not only cleared the He family's suspicion, but also caught those who were planning to make a big fuss about this matter off guard. If I'm not mistaken, they should be rushing to the Long Mansion to leave false evidence. However, with strict interrogation and patrols, they may not be able to leave anything conclusive. He Yuan's unintentional move was actually a brilliant move."
He Yuan was confused by what he heard, but he roughly understood that he seemed to have accidentally solved the current troubles of several people, but Long Feibai might have to suffer.
Another whole day was spent in the De Zheng Hall. No one could leave until Emperor Wen left the court. He had not forgotten that he was a drug addict and often needed to take pills. He asked Cao Cheng to bring him pills every half a day, otherwise he would have a headache.
He Zhaojun looked at the red pill and swallowed her saliva. It was the large hawthorn pill that Long Feibai had imitated before. It was sweet and appetizing. She was already starving.
The young ones could still hold out, having previously enjoyed a simple meal in Yongle Palace, but the old men were already starving, and soon one of them fainted. Fortunately, many doctors arrived at the palace and were able to give acupuncture and rescue immediately. By the time they waited from daylight until noon, the old man had already laid down for more than half of his life.
Finally, Li Lin arrived late, his face looking awful, as if he hadn't finished something. "Your Majesty, this is what I found in the Dragon Mansion."
He presented a strangely shaped wooden object and a book that could barely be considered physical evidence. "This book mentioned witchcraft, but... it didn't describe this sorcery at all. Instead, it denied it with a critical attitude."
Emperor Wen was also sleepy. He had just taken a nap and was now drowsy. "You mean, you're not sure whether Long Feibai was involved in this, right?"
He'd taken too many large hawthorn pills, and while he wasn't hungry at the time, they were good for digestion. Now, Emperor Wen was ravenous, his stomach rumbling with hunger. He couldn't wait to get this over with. He took a closer look. Half of the people sitting below him had already collapsed, and the remaining old man didn't seem to have the energy to refute him. He then coughed lightly.
"Since Long Feibai is unsure of his involvement, but cannot rule out suspicion, we will escort him to the palace and have him serve his sentence. We will order him to find a way to alleviate Concubine Yue's condition within one day. Otherwise, he will be beheaded and displayed to the public! What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Emperor Wen was questioning the ministers, and none of them had any objections. After all, not everyone had the energy to continue speaking, and no one would deny them food during a trial. The ministers cursed Emperor Wen in their hearts, saying he had no moral integrity. After all, he had taken the pill that could prevent him from fasting, so he naturally didn't need to eat or rest.
"Your Majesty, are you really stupid from all the medicine you've taken? Otherwise, why did you forget to let us rest?"
"These old bones are about to fall apart!"
"Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Look at you guys, you've become like this after not eating for a day. You have no future!"
Emperor Wen was distraught when he heard the commotion below him. "Everyone, return to your palaces! No one is allowed to leave without my order. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out of the palace. If you can't produce any other witnesses or evidence, you will be kept in solitary confinement! For half a month, I will chop off one head every day until you reach a conclusion. Dismissed!"
