But while he was thinking this in his heart, his eyes were uncontrollably following the shaking of the jade pendant, and gradually his eyes lost focus and became distracted.
"Prince Yu, are you feeling comfortable now?"
Prince Yu said awkwardly, "Yes, it's very comfortable."
Everyone was surprised to hear his obedient answer.
In order to prove that what he said was not manipulated by himself, Bei Yutang asked three questions in a row, all of which were about himself and were things known to Emperor Wu of Zhou and many ministers in the court.
In this way, they will believe that every word he said is true.
Next, Bei Yutang began to inquire about the assassination.
"Did you mastermind the assassination of the emperor this time?" Bei Yutang asked.
"Yes, it's me."
"Why did you kill the emperor?"
Prince Yu's face was filled with a ferocious expression. "Because he deserves to die. This bastard emperor deserves my unwavering loyalty. He actually refused to avenge my daughter. He deserves to die!"
Emperor Wu of Zhou was very angry.
"How do you know there must be pea cakes at the banquet?" Bei Yutang continued to ask.
"Of course someone told me that person was his good son. He probably wouldn't have guessed it. He was the one who provided the most poisonous poison, and he even told me the method. That little bastard wanted to take advantage of my hatred for the damn emperor to kill his own father, and then he killed the eighth prince, the most likely heir to the throne, so that he could legitimately ascend to the throne."
When the people present heard Prince Yu's words, their faces turned pale.
Among Emperor Wu of Zhou's princes, excluding the eighth prince, there were two people who had the greatest hope of becoming the heir to the throne in the event of Emperor Wu's sudden death.
The first one is the eldest prince Hua Feiyu, who occupies the position of eldest son.
The second one is the third prince where the queen is.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were looking back and forth between the two princes.
The Queen's face turned very ugly.
This damn Prince Yu actually implicated her son.
The Queen preemptively urged, "Madam Mu, quickly ask who that person is."
She said this to get rid of the third prince's suspicion.
Hua Feiyu's mother naturally refused to be outdone and said softly, "Madam Mu, you must ask for the answer."
Hua Feiyu tried his best to remain calm on the surface, but he was terrified in his heart.
You can't say it, you absolutely can't let him speak again.
The best way to clear his suspicion now is to let the Third Prince interrupt Madam Mu's interrogation, but the Third Prince is too far away from him to do so.
His gaze finally fell on the fifth prince who was closest to him.
He gave his servant a wink, and the servant understood what his master meant.
At this time, Bei Yutang asked, "Who is that person?"
"yes……"
"ah!"
Suddenly a scream was heard, and the Fifth Prince was caught off guard and fell flat on his face.
There was a loud "bang" sound, which woke Prince Yu up.
It would be more accurate to say that they stopped at the right moment rather than being awakened by him.
Bei Yutang's goal was simple: to prevent Hua Feiyu from being convicted of a crime, but to make Emperor Wu of Zhou completely dislike him. This way, he would maintain his status as a prince while completely severing his connection to the throne.
What will happen to him after he knows that there is no hope.
Bei Yutang said that she was very much looking forward to it.
The fifth prince faced everyone's gazes with a tearful face.
