Zhao Ji sneered coldly and said, "That's enough, Third Prince, stop showing off your poor acting skills. The Emperor already knows everything, there's no need for you to hide it anymore!"
The Third Prince was shocked when he heard this. He pointed at Zhao Ji and said, "Don't try to drive a wedge between me and my father. What do you mean by knowing everything?"
"What did I do?" The third prince looked extremely aggrieved as he looked at Zhao Ji and the emperor who was still calming down.
The chief eunuch Su Xi couldn't help himself after all, and coldly scolded: "Your Highness is really ambitious. Do you dare to say that the flowers that the servants in the flower room deliver to the emperor every day have not been touched by your subordinates?"
"We have checked, it's you, only your people have touched the flowers that will be placed in the emperor's bedroom!"
"That flower has the witchcraft of Southern Xinjiang on it. How dare you say you don't know about these things? We have already arrested your men. If you keep making excuses, don't blame us for getting your confession in front of you!"
Su Xi finished speaking, but Zhao Ji secretly felt something was wrong.
The third prince extracted a lot of key and useful information from Su Xi's words.
The next moment, the Third Prince sat on the ground and started to cry out: "What slave in the flower room, what witchcraft, I know nothing about it!"
At this time, the chief eunuch had not yet realized that he had fallen into the trap. Instead, he stretched out his hand and called for people to pull up the people who had detained the third prince.
Zhao Ji sighed and didn't stop it. Things had developed to this point, and Zhao Ji was very clear about the future direction.
When the Third Prince's men were arrested, he immediately shouted at the man: "Xiao Shunzi! Didn't I send you away because you stole my jade pendant some time ago? Why are you doing something in my name again?"
When Xiao Shunzi was called up, he was a little scared. When he saw the third prince was there, his legs went limp with fear.
Hearing the Third Prince's anxious words, Xiao Shunzi instantly understood that the Third Prince had completely given up on him.
Moreover, Jiu worked under the Third Prince, and Xiao Shunzi knew very well that if he did not follow his words, his death would be a small matter, but he was afraid that the Third Prince would kill his relatives. By then, there would be ten thousand ways to make his relatives suffer.
When Xiao Shunzi thought of the Third Prince's secret methods, he shuddered all over. Without even thinking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"I'm sorry, Third Prince. This is all my fault. I didn't use your name. It was these eunuchs who insisted that I was yours. Xiao Shunzi has always been responsible for his own actions!"
As he spoke, Xiao Shunzi's face became gloomy and his eyes were vicious. The next moment, he suddenly rushed to the table, picked up a teacup, and was about to smash it on the emperor.
Fortunately, Zhao Ji acted very quickly and stretched out his hand to block the teacup that was about to hit the emperor.
"You dog emperor, you play around with the concubines in the harem every day and don't understand the suffering of the people at all. I want to kill you, kill you, and avenge the people!"
Xiao Shunzi was crying as he spoke, with a very sad look on his face. Even Zhao Ji could tell that the teacup was thrown without much force, and it seemed like he was just pretending.
However, Xiao Shunzi was too stubborn. When the emperor heard what Xiao Shunzi said, he was so furious that he picked up his pillow and threw it down.
"Asshole, I want people like you to eat too much, so you have such bold ideas. Someone, take him down and torture him to death!"
The chief eunuch Su Xi wanted to persuade the emperor again. After all, if the emperor killed this man, he would lose the way to find out the mastermind behind the incident.
At this moment, the third prince suddenly pulled out the sword from the guard next to him, and stabbed Xiao Shunzi in the chest without saying a word.
"You are such a traitor. My father is a rare wise king, but you cannot satisfy a villain like me. I don't know what sinister means you used. Anyway, you deserve to die!"
The sword pierced Xiao Shunzi's chest, and Xiao Shunzi's expression changed from resentment to relief.
His mouth was full of blood, but there was a faint smile on his face.
Not long after, he lost his breath.
Eunuch Suxi never believed what Xiao Shunzi said. He knew very well that it was impossible for Xiao Shunzi to put that kind of thing inside the flower in the harem relying on his own strength.
Moreover, during this period, Zhao Ji and the chief eunuch could not dig any further along the line of Xiao Shunzi.
They had no idea who was hiding in the dark and was proficient in this kind of witchcraft that was only found in southern Xinjiang.
Su Xi turned around and looked at the emperor, only to find that his expression was unpredictable. The emperor's gaze was directed at the sword in the third prince's hand.
There was blood on the sword, dripping onto the carpet in the bedroom.
Zhao Ji stood in front of the emperor calmly, just in case.
No one knows whether the third prince will continue to act crazy in a while.
Unexpectedly, at this moment the third prince threw the sword in his hand directly out of the window.
"Father, this is ultimately because I didn't rule strictly enough, and I allowed a person who had been driven out long ago to take advantage of the situation and do something illegal under my name. I am also responsible for this matter, so please punish me, I won't say a word!"
The third prince burst into tears at the end, and he looked like he really felt wronged.
The chief eunuch Su Xi wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Zhao Ji who pulled his sleeve.
When things developed to this point, the third prince talked and cried, and said all kinds of things, both good and bad.
The topic has come to this point, and the rest is naturally the matter between the father and son of the royal family.
It doesn’t matter whether the eunuch believes it or not. What really matters is the emperor.
The emperor was silent for a long time, then he said, "Since you are so filial and have come to visit me while I am sick, please present the scripture you copied for my blessing!"
The third prince had already held those pages of scriptures in his hands, leaving them all wrinkled.
But since the emperor wants to see the third prince, naturally he can't refuse to give it to him.
A few wrinkled pages of scriptures were presented, and the chief eunuch Su Xi sighed.
The Third Prince was so anxious that even the Buddhist scriptures he brought with him for show were not complete. They were just two pages of unknown chapters and verses of the Buddhist scriptures, and the handwriting was very sloppy.
Just by looking at these few pages of scriptures, the chief eunuch could feel the Third Prince's impatience and anxiety.
What outsiders can see, the emperor can naturally see as well, but the emperor still holds the scriptures in his hands.
