Chapter 771 Fainted

When Helian Tuo had been kneeling outside the Xuanzheng Hall for the sixth day, Helian Yue finally spoke.

He said, "Uncle Li has been diligent and loyal to the emperor for many years. I also believe that Uncle Li would not do such a treasonous thing. In addition, Prince Li's son has proved that Prince Cheng was guilty of the conspiracy. Therefore, I will temporarily remove Prince Li from all his official duties in the court and return home to recuperate. Everyone in Prince Li's mansion will be in seclusion to reflect on themselves."

In just a few words, he expressed his helplessness and compromise about the incident.

He said that he didn't believe that Prince Li would rebel, but he didn't correct Prince Li's slander of Si Jinyu's assassination.

He also ordered everyone in Prince Li's mansion to stay indoors. At least in the eyes of the common people, the emperor was extremely merciful.

Helian Tuo had been kneeling outside for several days, and no matter how strong his body was, he could no longer bear it.

At this time, when he heard Helian Yue's "conclusion" of this incident again, his ears were filled with his ears repeatedly: "Prince Li has testified that King Cheng was guilty of conspiracy." He felt a chill quickly spread from his knees to every bone marrow in his body.

These days he had been thinking that there was absolutely no possibility that the news of their decision to meet with King Cheng to discuss cooperation would leak out.

How did Helian Yue know that Prince Cheng had brought people to Yongjing, and even accurately stated Prince Cheng's original plan? Even some of the small actions they carried out in the court seemed to have caught Helian Yue's attention early on.

Helian's actions became more and more sudden. The Li Palace was caught off guard, and Prince Cheng, who was caught inexplicably, was even less prepared.

King Cheng must have had the same doubts as him.

And now, Helian Yue gave the answer directly.

[The Prince of Li testified], these six words were enough to make King Cheng and the forces behind him hate him to the core.

King Cheng might not have suspected that he had deliberately led him to Yongjing to set a trap for him, but he would certainly believe that he had betrayed him in order to protect himself.

The fact that he has now escaped safely from Prince Li's palace and is now shutting himself in is the best proof.

Helian Yue was not unwilling to convict Prince Li's Mansion and Prince Cheng together, but he chose to use another method to deal with Prince Li's Mansion, or in other words, to deal with him...

Thinking of this, Helian Tuo felt a surge of blood in his chest. The emotions that had been suppressed for many days finally could not be suffocated. His eyes went dark and he fainted.

When Helian Yue heard the palace maid's message, he only raised his eyebrows slightly, but his handsome face remained calm as always. He only ordered, "Send the person back to the mansion safely, and then let the prince and Prince Li rest well in the mansion."

The palace maid retreated in response.

When the Xuan Zheng Hall fell silent again, Wu Lie slowly walked out from the shadow in the corner.

He bowed and saluted, but asked, "Your Majesty, why doesn't you just convict Prince Li and Prince Cheng together?"

Helian Yue has always said that there is insufficient evidence, but with the things previously collected by the Dark Guard Camp, this time it is enough to nail Prince Cheng and Prince Li's Mansion to death together.

It may take some twists and turns, but it will be a permanent solution.

Wu Lie didn't understand why he should give the other party a chance to catch their breath since the matter had already been exposed.

Helian Yue was not too surprised by Wu Lie's appearance. He glanced at him and said, "Because they are from the same family as me, Helian."

Even though both King Cheng and King Li had rebellious intentions, they were caused by their origins. If he dealt with the two princes at once, it would inevitably cause panic among the other clan members.

As the saying goes, relaxation in moderation, killing and releasing, loosening and tightening, is his way of ruling as an emperor.

Wu Lie looked at the serious emperor in front of him for a long while, and said with a blank expression,

"Fool."

In fact, he wanted to reply bluntly: You are making it up.

Ever since he followed Helian Yue, he had seen this man's iron-blooded tactics many times. He even relied on these tactics to quickly secure the throne when he first ascended the throne.

To say that he cares about the feelings of his clan members is sheer nonsense.

Given his temper, it's possible that he would turn cold and use this incident to target a few clan members he dislikes.

As his shadow over the years, handling all the secret matters for him, Wu Lie could be said to understand the temperament of this emperor better than Fu Tai.

Helian Yue was not annoyed when he heard what he said, but smiled instead.

Well, he was just kidding.

He decided to let Prince Li's Mansion go for the time being. No matter what, the most fundamental reason was that he had to save Helian Tuo's life.

Now that Quan Xian has been imprisoned, Helian Tuo's rebellion has failed before it even began, which is completely different from the original plot described by Linglong.

Linglong hasn't been affected yet, but he's also worried that if he suppresses these two too hard, the so-called plot line will collapse completely.

I'm afraid Linglong will be the one who suffers then.

Therefore, before sending Linglong safely to Kunlun, he didn't mind letting Helian Tuo go first.

On July 15th, the day when Emperor Liujiang descends, the gate of Kunlun Mountain will open.

He will keep Helian Tuo and Quan Xian's lives until after that day.
