Chapter 111 His Royal Highness Prince Ji is now under the management of Prince Yan!
Yun Yi brought Miss Siyu to the Prince Qin's Mansion in the evening.
After entering the palace, the two rushed to Ning Xinyuan. When they saw the princess lazily leaning on the imperial concubine's couch in the main hall, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time!
Yun Yi bowed and clasped his fists in salute!
"Princess, Miss Siyu and I are ordered by the prince to return to Beijing overnight.
The prince ordered his subordinates to protect the princess and advised you not to act impulsively.
The prince said that after he has dealt with the anti-epidemic affairs in Yanzhou, he will return to Beijing immediately to seek justice for you."
Siyu could no longer hold back her longing, and after entering the house, she walked a few steps to the imperial concubine's couch and snuggled up to the young lady and acted coquettishly.
: "Miss, Siyu misses you so much!"
Luo Li patted Siyu's arm lovingly.
Then she smiled at Yun Yi, "Don't bother your prince, I have already avenged myself.
His Royal Highness Prince Ji is now under the management of Prince Yan."
Yun Yi was stunned! His heart skipped a beat!
"Princess, are you kidding me?"
Luo Li said steadily, "No! Prince Ji's body may have been sent to the palace.
If you come back a little later, the capital may be under strict martial law!"
Yun Yi's frightened heart was beating!
The princess's misfortune was huge, and the people in the Imperial City Bureau were not all vegetarians. If even a trace of clues is found, the current emperor is not a person who can reason or be soft-hearted.
: "Princess! Your subordinates will escort you out of the city to the Mo Yun Cavalry Camp.
With the two thousand Mo Yun Cavalry elite guards left in the camp, they will definitely protect your safety!"
When such a huge disaster happened, Yun Yi's first thought was to protect the safety of this lady. Luo Li was a little moved. She pushed away Ruhua's hand that was rubbing her shoulders and sat up straight.
: "Yun Yi, you don't have to worry. Prince Ji died at the hands of the third prince, Prince Xiang. It has nothing to do with anyone in our Prince Qin's Mansion!"
Yun Yi was stunned again when he heard it! He felt a little inexplicable in his heart.
Mo Yan came back, and after entering the house, he first bowed respectfully to the princess.
"Princess, after the corpse of Prince Ji was sent back to the city, I withdrew.
At this moment, the streets are under strict security by the imperial guards, and a team of imperial guards are escorting the officials and the head of the police from Kaifeng Prefecture to the South Gate.
" Luo Li nodded, "Did you do the scapegoat thing well?"
Mo Yan's eyes showed a hint of smile, "Well! I happened to meet three of Prince Xiang's personal guards who were out of the palace on business.
After tying them up, I pressed their acupoints . "They said that when they fought with the people of Prince Ji in the south of the city, they used them as targets for arrows, and the bodies were thrown there."
Luo Li smiled with satisfaction, "Okay! I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight.
The assassination of Prince Ji has nothing to do with our Qin Palace, so don't try to find out the news. Let's just stay at home and eat, drink, play and have fun!"
Mo Yan bowed and accepted the order, winked at Commander Yun, and the two withdrew.
After leaving Ning Xinyuan, Yun Yi anxiously grabbed Mo Yan and asked in a low voice, "Mo Yan, what's going on? Who killed Prince Ji?"
Mo Yan looked around and whispered in Yun Yi's ear, "Prince Ji was killed by the princess, and Prince Xiang was the scapegoat found by the princess."
Yun Yi was shocked and stopped in his tracks! Then he took Mo Yan and walked quickly towards Chunfengju.
After ordering several shadow guards to guard the house, Yun Yi asked anxiously, "Mo Yan, tell us what happened in detail."
... After listening to Mo Yan's story, Yun Yi was shocked!
The princess not only has a magical medical skill to save lives, but also a magical skill to kill people! Could it be that the princess can kill people from a thousand steps away as easily as taking something out of a bag?
Holding the yellow, round, and slender little object that Mo Yan picked up, Yun Yi looked at it for a long time, but couldn't tell what kind of hidden weapon it was?
Yun Yi's face was solemn, "Mo Yan, take this object and go to Yanzhou quickly to report this matter to the prince."
"I obey your command!" Mo Yan took the thing and turned away.
Even if the capital was sealed off and the gates were closed, the shadow guards of the Prince of Qin's mansion had their own way out of the city. ...
The body of Prince Ji was sent directly to the palace.
Not to mention the imperial physician who was urgently summoned, the few imperial guards who were carrying Prince Ji's body also knew that the body of His Royal Highness Prince Ji was cold and he was dead!
The emperor was furious! He overturned the case. ...
Fourth Prince Zhao Yuanfen's biological mother, Concubine Wang De, cried her heart out!
The emperor was furious, his dragon robe was shaking, and his eyes were red and blazing!
"Quickly send the Imperial City Division to pursue the assassins, and the Imperial Guards to seal off the entire city!
Send officials from Kaifeng Prefecture and the Dali Temple to lead the police to the south of the city to investigate the case!
All assassins must be arrested to avenge my son!"
The emperor passed down the imperial edict in anger, his heart aching. He sat powerlessly behind the overturned case, tears streaming down his eyes.
Although he didn't like the Fourth Prince's insidiousness and eccentricity, he hated his homosexuality and his dissolute lifestyle.
But that was his biological son after
all! Who was so bold as to assassinate my biological son near the capital city guarded by 200,000 Imperial Guards?
The fatal bloody hole on the prince's forehead, the guards and Pan Lun didn't even know what kind of hidden weapon the assassins used to injure him?
Thinking of this, the emperor was even more grief-stricken and angry!
He wanted to punish the guards who came back alive with the assassins by cutting them into pieces and dismembering them!
Who did this assassination of the prince?
At the small court meeting today, Luo Ji, the Grand Scholar of Guanwen Hall, entered the palace to file a complaint, accusing the fourth prince Zhao Yuanfen of being unjust and beating the steward of Luo Mansion and several guards for no reason.
Luo Ji accused the Fourth Prince of being cruel and ruthless, as he had broken the legs of several guards and severed the tendons in the hands and feet of Luo Ning, the steward of the Luo Mansion, turning a healthy young man into a cripple.
Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for the people and give justice to the Luo family.
Is it revenge of the Luo family ?
It shouldn't be. Luo Ji is just a scholar. How can he have such courage and strength? Otherwise, he would not have entered the palace to complain.
Is it the work of the King of Qin?
It shouldn't be!
The King of Qin is far away in Yanzhou to fight the epidemic. His uncle Ghost Hand Poison Doctor and Yun Yi, who are both highly skilled in martial arts, have gone to Yanzhou with him and are busy fighting the epidemic there!
Could it be that Zhao Guangmei, the King of Qi, who was sick at home, took action?
He shouldn't be so stupid, right?
Since he has been plotting secretly and is ready to do something big, he shouldn't assassinate an unimportant prince at this time, but instead make a move? The
emperor was puzzled and couldn't figure out who would be the mastermind behind the assassin?
The eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo and the second prince Zhao Yuanxi came in a hurry after hearing the news.
When the eldest prince saw the body of his fourth brother Zhao Yuanfen, he couldn't help crying.
The second prince Zhao Yuanxi was also heartbroken and shed a few tears.
Cheng Wuya hurried in, bowed to the emperor sitting behind the table, and looked at the eldest prince and the second prince next to him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
The emperor suppressed his grief for his son and his anger for the challenge to his imperial power, and asked, "My dear Cheng, what do you want to report?"
Cheng Wuya bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, I have found out that the identity of the assassin who assassinated the fourth prince is..." Cheng Wuya glanced at the eldest prince standing next to him.
"Who is it?" The emperor asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, the three assassins killed by the Fourth Prince's guards were the Third Prince Xiang Wang's personal guards!" Cheng Wuya said with certainty.
The Emperor stood up!
"You...you are not mistaken, are you?"
Cheng Wuya looked at the Emperor and said with certainty, "I am not mistaken, the three assassins are indeed the Third Prince's personal guards!"
The eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo's face changed drastically in shock!
The voice trembled, "No! No! You must have made a mistake!"
Although the emperor was shocked and his heart was surging with fear, he said without hesitation, "Quickly summon the third prince to the palace!"
After hearing that his fourth brother was assassinated, the third prince, Prince Xiang Zhao Heng, felt both relieved and a little sad for his brother. With a complicated mood, he had already arrived at the palace gate and walked across from the eunuch Prince Xiang who was summoning him to his mansion.
Wang Jien stepped forward with a solemn expression and saluted, "Your Highness Prince Xiang has arrived at the right time. The Emperor has ordered me to summon you to the palace immediately!"
Prince Xiang nodded, "Thank you, Eunuch. Lead the way!"
Wang Jien led Prince Xiang to the study. Zhao Heng was about to salute his father, but the Emperor gave an order with a stern face
: "Wuya, take him to identify the three bodies!"
Prince Xiang was brought to the bodies of the three black-clad assassins. He took a look and took a step back in shock, "How could they die in the palace?!"
Cheng Wuya did not answer, his gloomy face expressionless.
: "Third Prince, if you have anything to say, go ask the Emperor!"
Zhao Heng was taken back to Yu's study room with a panic in his heart. He fell to his knees with a plop after entering the room.
: "Father, how could my three personal guards die in the palace?"
The three assassins were indeed his personal guards. The Emperor's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm.
: "Third Prince, what did you send your personal guards to do outside the city today?"
The third prince was suddenly panicked and frightened!
When Prince Ji was just assassinated, could he say that his son sent those three personal guards to drug and cause trouble in the winery of his fourth brother Zhao Yuanfen and his uncle outside the city?
: "Father! Your son... Your son sent them..." The third prince was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he could not speak.
The emperor was furious and raised his hand to smash the inkstone on the table that had just been placed at the top of the table at the rebellious son!
He shouted loudly! "Speak!"
The third prince, who was kneeling on the ground, could not dodge in time, and was hit on the corner of his forehead by the inkstone. Blood immediately flowed down, and his heart was even more terrified!
"Father! Father, calm down! The death of my fourth brother has absolutely nothing to do with me!
I just sent the three of them to... go to the winery opened by my fourth brother and the Wang family outside the city... go to the wine cellar to drug and mess up!" The third prince added a sentence after he finished his explanation.
"It's not a deadly strong poison, but just some poison that can cause nerve damage.
Father! I know I was wrong! Please calm down and forgive me this time!..."
The third prince was terrified and prostrated on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
The emperor came out from behind the case, and kicked him hard in anger!
"Evil creature! How dare you make excuses and deceive me?!"
The third prince got up and prostrated on the ground again, kowtowing repeatedly. He couldn't bear the blame for the assassination of Prince Ji no matter what!
He cried and shouted in fear, "Father, please calm down!... I really didn't deceive you. I just sent the three of them to mess up my fourth brother's winery!"
The second prince Zhao Yuanxi's eyes flashed with a hint of secret joy. It doesn't matter if my fourth brother dies. If his death gets rid of a competitor, my fourth brother will die for a good cause.
The eldest prince hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to plead for his third brother, "Father, please calm down!
My third brother would never do such a brazen thing to assassinate my fourth brother.
Father, think about it, let alone my third brother who is extremely smart, even an ordinary person with a normal mind would not act like this!
Father, this matter is really full of flaws and very strange!"
The emperor's mind also calmed down.
Yes! This matter is really strange, full of loopholes! The assassin knew that if he left his companion's body behind, he would be traced to the mastermind, so why did he leave the body of the third prince's personal guard behind and run away, instead of risking his life to take it away?
The emperor stared at the third prince with a fierce look, calculating in his mind.
Is this usually low-key third son a cunning and ruthless person who is so bold as to kill his brothers and sisters in order to fight for the throne? Or is he narrow-minded and just wants to take revenge, but was used by the assassin as a scapegoat?
If you really have that kind of courage and means, why don't you kill the two threatening stepping stones, the King of Qi and the King of Qin?
The atmosphere in the study was extremely heavy!
Upon hearing the news, Concubine Li Xian rushed in crying and stumbling!
After entering the room, Concubine Li Xian fell to the ground, hugged the emperor's thighs, and cried and begged: "Your Majesty!... Your Majesty, please calm down!..."
