Chapter 301 The Prince's Plan



Chapter 301 The Prince's Plan

Even Lu Xingwan sat up straight, waiting for Jinxin's next words.

Seeing Jinxin gasping for breath, Qionghua hurried forward to give her a cup of tea and helped her smooth her back.

His eyes were full of anxiety.

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but giggle.

[Look, mother, I told you that Sister Qionghua is as gossipy as you.]

"Your Majesty, didn't you hear the sound of drums outside just now? I went to ask and found out that someone was beating the drum of injustice."

"The sound of the drum?" Song Qingyan was indeed confused. She seemed to have never heard the sound of this drum in all the years she had been in the palace.

Jin Xin nodded and continued, "It is said that the wife of the Minister of Personnel, Lin Da, Zhou, sued the daughter of the Minister of Works for ordering the murder of her daughter."

"Later, He Yong's daughter also came forward to sue He Yong, saying that..." Jin Xin swallowed hard, "She said that He Yong had teamed up with Lin to kill her mother."

"I heard that he also held a memorial written by the old Duke of Anguo."

"Even the wife of Marquis Guangqin came forward to testify."

After Jinxin finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Even Song Qingyan couldn't hold the needle firmly in her hand and it fell to the ground.

This is really "so quiet that you can hear a pin drop".

[Awesome! Could this be the Crown Prince's plan? If this is true, then He Yong will definitely die.]

[If He Yong falls, then Lin Hecheng will certainly fail as well.]

[There is no hope for the Third Prince, as he only has a Minister of Revenue who claims to be ill all day and never leaves the house.]

"Yes, the wife of Marquis Guangqin is an old friend of the old wife of Duke Anguo. If she came forward to testify for He Yuyao, it would be reasonable."

【ah!】

Lu Xingwan's sudden voice startled Song Qingyan.

[A few days ago, He Yuyao entered the palace and took Pei Chuyan out. Could it be because of this? ]

[I need to discuss this matter carefully. ]

Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan lay down with a gulp.

At this time, He Yuyao and Tian had already supported each other and walked outside Yu's study.

The Crown Prince and the Emperor of Chu were also waiting for their arrival.

"Your Majesty," He Yuyao saw the Great Chu Emperor kneeling down, and without further delay, she said straight to the point, "I am indeed rude today, but if I do not seek justice for my mother, I would be unworthy of being someone else's daughter."

At this point, He Yuyao's words even choked up a little, but she tried hard to suppress her tears.

"This is a memorial that my maternal grandfather had drafted. It has been sealed in his study." He Yuyao raised the memorial in her hand again. "I also found it in my maternal grandfather's study by chance. Only then did I know the truth of that year."

After saying this, He Yuyao looked at Tian who was standing beside her and said, "Later, I went to ask the wife of Marquis Guangqin, and then I connected the whole story."

At this time, the memorial had already reached the hands of the Emperor of Great Chu.

From both the cover and the writing on the memorial, one can tell that it is indeed quite old.

The Great Chu Emperor was watching over here, and He Yuyao didn't stop talking either.

"It was for me that my mother endured the humiliation in the He Mansion. It was also for me that my grandfather suppressed the truth that my mother was murdered."

He Yuyao said this and knocked down again firmly.

"But I don't want to live my whole life in a muddle, trampling on my mother's life. Your Majesty, please make a decision for my mother."

He Yuyao and the wife of Marquis Guangqin stayed in Yu's study for nearly an hour.

The Emperor of Great Chu has already made things clear.

During this period, Meng Quande naturally ran a lot in and out of the room.

Like Zhou, He Yuyao and the other two were still handed over to the prince for resettlement. Now these people are key figures. In order to prevent them from being assassinated before the truth comes out, it is safest to hand them over to the prince.

The Emperor of Great Chu has always trusted the Crown Prince.

Finally, after everyone in the study had quieted down, the Emperor of Great Chu asked the Crown Prince what he thought.

"From what I have seen, what He Yuyao said was a mixture of truth and falsehood," the Crown Prince cupped his hands and looked directly at the Great Chu Emperor. "From Zhou's expression, it seems that she is unaware of the existence of what He Yuyao said."

"But He Yuyao must know that Zhou is going to enter the palace today." In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, she had to say something.

"But no matter what, what He Yuyao said about what He Yong did, I think, is true."

"No matter what means she used, it was all to seek justice for her mother."

"It's a filial piety indeed."

When the prince said this, the Emperor of Great Chu sensed that the prince was becoming increasingly lonely, and thought that he was thinking about his mother, so he stopped talking.

He just stood up, walked up to him, and patted his shoulder: "Let's go."

After saying this, he strode forward.

It was almost noon.

The ministers had already been waiting in the court for two hours. Everyone was getting anxious and discussing the matter one after another.

The second prince, however, maintained the same posture, facing sideways, staring in the direction of the third prince.

When they saw the Emperor of Great Chu coming, everyone immediately fell silent.

"I have already thought about today's matter."

After the Great Chu Emperor said this, all the ministers were even more silent, waiting for the emperor's next words.

"Wei Cheng!" Unexpectedly, the Great Chu Emperor actually summoned the commander of the Yulin Army to the palace, "Take two teams of troops and surround the residences of the Minister of Works He and the Minister of Personnel Lin. Don't let anyone escape."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Cheng accepted the order and ran outside in a hurry.

Afterwards, the Emperor of Great Chu summoned Zhu Gushan, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, into the palace.

"Zhu Gushan, take the Third Prince back to Changqiu Palace and keep all the people in his palace under guard until this matter is dealt with."

When the Great Chu Emperor said this, everyone was shocked.

In the past, the Emperor of Great Chu always favored the third prince, perhaps because of Concubine De, or perhaps because he was not made the crown prince, so he was quite fond of him.

I didn't expect that I would be under house arrest now.

And they are guarded by the Yulin Army.

If it was a normal house arrest, it would be enough for the eunuchs in the harem to watch over her.

"Father, your son..." The Third Prince naturally wanted to say a few words to defend himself, but he did not expect that he would meet the terrifying gaze of the Emperor of Great Chu as soon as he opened his mouth. He immediately fell silent and dared not say another word.

He obediently followed Zhu Gushan to Changqiu Palace.

He Yong and Lin Hecheng, at this time, were kneeling on the ground motionless, waiting for the decision of the Emperor of Chu.

Although they were motionless, the officials around them could see their trembling bodies.

After all, their mansions have been surrounded by the Yulin Army, and I believe that His Majesty will not go easy on them.

Your Majesty has always been a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
