"Your Majesty, the Third Prince...is crazy!"
The censor raised the last line of his voice, as if he was afraid that Jiang Li couldn't hear him. His loud voice echoed in the hall even after it fell.
"Crazy?"
Jiang Li showed surprise. Although she had no memory of the Third Prince, she learned from Nanny Zhou that the surviving princes were all eyeing the throne and had ill intentions towards her.
Now that the third prince has suddenly gone crazy, it means that she has one less enemy.
Could it be that he has never been able to defeat other princes in his internal fights?
Thinking of this, Jiang Li raised her eyes and looked at the imperial censor standing in front of the palace: "What's going on? Can you ask the doctor to check the cause?"
"It is said that he had a nightmare and went crazy after waking up."
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. While the other princes were staring at Jiang Li, they were also staring at each other. The fact that the Third Prince had a nightmare last night naturally did not escape the eyes of the other princes.
The censor in front of him was none other than the Fifth Prince Jiang Yao's man.
After hearing the words of the censor, the faces of the ministers who supported the third prince instantly turned dark.
The damn old fox actually knew everything! "Your Majesty, I think there is something fishy going on here. I am willing to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to find out the truth on your behalf!"
At this time, another minister stood up with his hands clasped. Compared to the censor's gloating, the young tutor in front of him had a solemn expression on his face. It was obvious that he did not believe that the third prince had gone crazy overnight.
If the Third Prince is pretending to be crazy to hide his tracks, it will be very disadvantageous to the master. The only way to feel at ease is to go to the Third Prince's mansion to find out the truth.
"I second this motion!"
The other ministers saw that Shaofu's words made sense and all of them nodded in agreement.
Jiang Li also wanted to see whether the Third Prince was really crazy or just pretending to be stupid. She was about to agree with the ministers when Chu Huaizhi spoke first.
"Come here, the Third Prince Jiang Xiao intends to use blood parasites to murder Your Majesty. The evidence is irrefutable. Put him in jail and execute him in the autumn."
Since Chu Huaizhi could smell the blood poison powder on Jiang Li's clothes, he must know that if the person controlled by the blood poison could break free from the nightmare halfway, the nightmare would backfire on the person who put the poison on him.
Last night, the Third Prince was tortured by nightmares and became a madman. Everything pointed to him.
"yes!"
After hearing Chu Huaizhi's instructions, the guard clasped his fists and left the hall.
One of the ministers who supported the third prince was about to stand up and speak for him, but the minister next to him grabbed his sleeve and shook his head to stop him.
The minister had no choice but to retract his foot.
The minister who stopped him just now was a close confidant of the Third Prince, who knew all of the Third Prince's plans and intentions. Even his close confidant stood up to stop him, so what the Regent said just now must be true.
Although they are the Third Prince's followers, there is no need for them to risk their lives for a dying man.
The scheming third prince was eliminated in this way.
This morning's court session was also declared over.
The fact that the third prince was imprisoned did not cause any waves in the imperial city, and now the ministers are preparing for another thing.
Five years ago, General Chu Huaizhi defeated the soldiers of Eastern Chu. In order to preserve its foundation, the Emperor of Eastern Chu submitted a peace agreement to Dayan, ceded ten cities, and sent envoys to Dayan every year to pay tribute and visit.
This year, the day has come for the envoys from Dongchu to come and pay tribute and visit. Everyone in the palace is preparing a welcoming banquet for the envoys from Dongchu who are about to arrive.
Although Dong Chu was defeated by Dayan five years ago, since the new emperor ascended the throne, Dong Chu has recovered its declining national strength in the past five years, and it is even more prosperous than before.
Since the signing of the peace agreement, the two countries have been getting along as friends.
Now that friends have come from afar, Dayan will naturally not lose its manners and has made preparations to welcome the envoys from Dongchu early on.
While the envoy from Dongchu had not yet arrived, Jiang Li specifically sought out Chu Huaizhi to learn about the affairs of the Dongli Kingdom and the identity of the envoy who had come this time.
After a few days of intensive study, Jiang Li had already gained a general understanding of the affairs of the Dongli Kingdom.
The welcoming banquet prepared for the Dongli envoy had already been arranged. Jiang Li, wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, sat on the dragon throne, while Chu Huaizhi, wearing a crimson purple python robe, sat to his lower left.
All the officials and courtiers below sat in their seats, waiting for the arrival of the Dongli envoy.
"The Dongli envoy has arrived—"
As soon as the Si hour arrived, the figure of the Dongli envoy arrived as promised.
When the guards' shouts rang out outside the palace, Jiang Li flicked her sleeves and said, "Announce."
"Emissary Xuan Dongli is here to see you—"
"Emissary Xuan Dongli is here to see you—"
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, Eunuch Zhu's voice was first heard in the hall, and then spread all the way out. One voice after another rang out in the Golden Palace, and only stopped when it reached outside the hall.
After receiving the message from the palace servants, the Dongli envoy standing under the high platform stepped onto the steps in front of him and walked towards the magnificent Golden Palace in front.
The ministers all turned their heads to look outside the hall, and Jiang Li also looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Under the gaze of everyone, several figures appeared in front of the hall door, led by none other than Dongli’s Prince Chu Mingye.
Originally, everyone thought that the person standing next to Chu Mingye would be the Minister of Rites of Dongli Kingdom, but what no one expected was that it was a young girl wearing a veil.
The girl had a veil on her face and her clothes were different from those of the women in Dayan. She was dressed very boldly, and the light gauze skirt she wore outlined her beautiful figure.
The bells on her ankles jingled as she walked, easily attracting everyone's attention.
The ministers stared at the girl beside the Prince without blinking, as if they were bewitched by the bells on her ankles, and were all stunned for a moment.
"Dongli envoy Chu Mingye pays homage to Emperor Yan!"
Everyone only felt a gust of fragrant breeze passing by, and when their thoughts were brought back to their senses by Chu Mingye's voice, the girl had already walked to the center of the hall with Chu Mingye.
"We pay our respects to Emperor Yan!"
The envoys following Chu Mingye lifted up their robes and knelt in the center of the hall to pay homage to Jiang Li who was in the high seat.
The female voice mixed in with the voices of the envoys sounded particularly pleasant.
Jiang Li swept her eyes over the envoys below and said loudly, "The envoys from Dongli have come a long way. It is really hard for them to travel through mountains and rivers along the way. Come, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Emperor Yan!"
Led by Chu Mingye, the Dongli envoys stood up from the ground and sat down at their seats under the guidance of the palace servants.
Since the number of people previously reported by the Dongli envoy was ten, the palace people only prepared ten seats. But now there is an extra girl in the envoy team, and obviously no seat was prepared for her.
"You girl insisted on coming along, didn't you cause trouble for Emperor Yan?"
There was a lot of blame in Chu Mingye's tone, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the girl was full of doting.
Chu Mingye's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it just fell into Jiang Li's ears. Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's okay. Guests are welcome. Just add another seat."
"I've caused trouble for Emperor Yan."
Chu Mingye bowed to Jiang Li with an apologetic look on his face, then turned to look at the girl beside him: "Why don't you thank Emperor Yan quickly?"
"Thank you, Emperor Yan!"
The girl's voice is like the sound of nature, which makes people enjoy it.
The palace servants quickly brought up the seat and placed it next to Chu Mingye. After both of them were seated, Jiang Li set her sights on the girl.
"Who is this?"
