Chapter 111 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 25
After the Imperial Guards were dispatched, the entire palace was in chaos.
Not long after, Liu Xi came in with a strange look on his face, "Your Majesty, the fifth prince has been found, but... but..."
Concubine Wu was already extremely anxious, "Tell me quickly, what happened to my Peng'er? Is he injured?"
Liu Xi said, "Don't worry, Madam. The Fifth Prince is safe and sound. It's just that this matter... Hey... Please don't ask any more questions. After the banquet is over, I will report it to Your Majesty in detail."
Concubine Wu felt more and more that there was another hidden story behind this matter. Liu Xi was just a fence-sitter and might be helping Xiao Yan cover up his crimes.
"How could I not ask? The Fifth Prince is my only child. You keep asking me whether the Fifth Prince was murdered by someone. Has the murderer been caught? What is your intention in covering up the truth?"
The emperor's face turned pale and he said sternly, "Speak! I want to see who dares to act so presumptuously under my nose!"
Liu Xi knelt down with a plop and said with gritted teeth: "When the Imperial Guards found His Highness the Fifth Prince, he was entangled with Concubine Fan, making love with her, and he didn't know what the world was..."
There was a loud buzzing sound in the hall!
The court officials were discussing the matter. Lord Tian looked at the eldest prince who was sitting next to the emperor. Such sophisticated tactics were really not like the eldest prince's usual style.
Ji Yunhuan showed just the right amount of shock, "Father, please calm down. There may be some misunderstanding. Why don't you call my fifth brother in to ask him about it, so as not to wrongly accuse him?"
Concubine Wu felt dizzy. She had planned everything, but she had never expected her son to be so disappointing! He went to meet the imperial concubine on such an important day and was caught in the act!
In a hurry, she could only stagger to the emperor's feet and cry, "Your Majesty, this must be slander! Slander! Peng'er has always respected Your Majesty and would never do such a thing."
She turned around and glared at "Xiao Yan", shouting, "It's you! You must have framed Peng'er! You haven't left the Eastern Palace for three years, and you must have some ulterior motive for coming out today. Do you think that you can become the crown prince by ruining my Peng'er's reputation? You're dreaming!"
Concubine Wu shifted the blame to someone else and muddied the waters.
The emperor did not completely trust Xiao Yan, and began to doubt him, and his face became increasingly cold.
"Bring that bastard in! I want to interrogate him personally!"
The commander-in-chief of the imperial guards brought in the fifth prince. The fifth prince's clothes were disheveled, his chest was half naked, and the kiss marks on his chest were clearly visible.
The fifth prince started crying as soon as he entered the hall. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, shouting that he was innocent.
The commander-in-chief was also an honest man. He knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I would never dare to wrongly accuse the Fifth Prince. Many people saw it at the time. I spent a lot of effort to separate the Fifth Prince and Concubine Fan."
"I heard them talking to each other with my own ears. Concubine Fan said that she felt lonely in the deep palace and asked the Fifth Prince to take her out of the palace. She wanted to live with the Fifth Prince in the future. With such a beautiful woman in his arms, how could he not agree..."
"Enough!" The emperor slammed the table and trembled with anger!
His most beloved son actually had an affair with his concubine. This was such a great shame!
"I know you like to play around, which is not a big mistake, but you should never touch my woman! Now that the truth has been revealed, what else can you say?"
The fifth prince knew that he was being plotted against.
He was clearly called out by Xiaoyun, and followed Xiaoyun all the way to the room behind the imperial kitchen, which was the place where he was going to favor Xiaoyun last time.
But the person in the room was not Xiaoyun, but Concubine Fan.
There was incense burning in the room, and he was burning with desire. Besides, Concubine Fan was one of his women, so he just went with the flow.
He wanted to cut Xiaoyun into pieces and grind him into pulp, but for now he could only think of a way to protect himself.
"I made a big mistake in a moment of confusion. It was Concubine Fan who seduced me..."
Ji Yunhuan opened the system and found the truth serum in the selected gift package.
Veritaserum: The target will involuntarily tell the truth. This skill can be used on different targets. This skill has a time limit and will expire when it is used up. Please use it with caution.
This is the best time. Ji Yunhuan's mind moved, and a white light poured into the Fifth Prince's mind.
Except Ji Yunhuan, no one can see the system's props, so she doesn't have to worry about being noticed.
The Fifth Prince originally wanted to put all the blame on Concubine Fan, saying that it was Concubine Fan who could not stand the loneliness and deliberately seduced him, even using aphrodisiac potion, which was why he could not control himself and lost his composure.
But when the words came to his lips, they turned into, "Last year, Concubine Fan entered the palace and saw me at a palace banquet. We fell in love with each other immediately. Concubine Fan was beautiful and charming. I enjoyed her very much that night. After that, I often went to the palace for trysts. It was really very happy."
"Of course, I will not take her out of the palace. She is just a woman. It is not worth it for me to sacrifice my reputation and future... Woo... Woo..."
The Fifth Prince's face was distorted, he couldn't believe that he had said such words. By the time he reacted and covered his mouth, it was too late.
Ji Yunhuan calmly took back the "truth serum".
On the panel that only she could see, the "Truth Serum" column was glowing faintly, and there was a progress bar on it that had become a little shorter.
The "truth serum" costs 200 points to buy alone, and the time limit is so short that she feels bad about using it.
There was deathly silence in the hall, and the emperor's face looked extremely gloomy!
They got together last year, which shows that this evil guy is not just foolish at the moment!
Why was it Concubine Fan?
Concubine Fan was not of high rank and was not extremely beautiful, but her father was a general in the camp outside the capital, so the emperor allowed Concubine Fan to enter the palace to show his favor to General Fan.
The emperor thought deeper and further. The camp outside the capital is the throat of the capital. If the prince colludes with the camp outside the capital, can he still sit firmly on the throne?
With a loud bang, the emperor swept away everything on the table, and the scraps of paper hit the fifth prince in the face.
"Evil creature! I'm not dead yet! How dare you steal my things! Are you hoping that I'll die soon so that I can let you sit on this throne?"
A large group of people knelt down in the hall.
Lord Tian sat on the ground with his head lowered, pretending to be kneeling, and shouted "Your Majesty, please calm down" without any sincerity.
Be it the emperor on the dragon throne or the talentless and immoral fifth prince, he looks down on any of them!
It was worth coming here today, this show was so exciting!
The Fifth Prince was pale and almost frightened. He kept his mouth tightly shut and dared not speak again. If he said anything outrageous again, he would only die faster!
Concubine Wu was confused. She didn't expect her son to be so stupid. In a breath, Concubine Wu made the decision.
The only solution now is to sacrifice the rook to save the king.
"Your Majesty also knows that the Fifth Prince is the softest of the bunch and cannot stand the pleas of women. It was Concubine Fan who deliberately seduced him. I have long known that she is restless and seductive! She is trying to kill Peng'er!"
"General Fan has raised such a thing, which shows that he is not a loyal person. He is really not up to the task. It is better to dismiss him and investigate him to serve as a warning to others!"
