Chapter 294: Usurpation, the Emperor has no trust in Prince Shu
"The murderer is the jailer of the Dali Temple. How do you explain this?"
As he was speaking, Beigong Shu hurried in from outside and entered the imperial study. He saluted directly towards the bright yellow, "Your son greets the emperor. The princess has been good friends with my fourth brother since childhood. When she heard that my fourth brother had an accident during his lung transplant, she asked me to go to the palace to seek justice for him."
Emperor Ming snorted in his heart.
He knew clearly whether to seek justice or to fish in troubled waters.
"Your Majesty, please be aware that although that man is wearing the clothes of a Dali Temple jailer, I have just confirmed that he is not from our Dali Temple." Guo Da rushed to the rescue.
When he saw him, Xu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Before entering the palace, he asked Guo Da to investigate first, and he must have come up with results by now.
He didn't care whether it was King Jing who did it or not. As long as the murderer was not from his Dali Temple, it had nothing to do with him.
"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the safety of Prince Ning. Even if I had a hundred heads, I would not dare to do such a thing!" The big stone hanging in his heart fell, and he immediately felt confident.
"All five lung patients died in the Dali Temple. Lord Xu's statement may be difficult to convince others. If the first four people died in the Dali Temple due to the negligence of the Dali Temple, then what about the last person?" Beigong Shu still looked gentle and elegant, but his words were somewhat aggressive.
"Even if the murderer is not from the Dali Temple, the fact that he was wearing the uniform of a Dali Temple jailer was enough to prove that he had sneaked into the Dali Temple before the lung was transferred. With so many eyes in the Dali Temple, could it be that they didn't notice anything?"
Especially the last sentence, he was almost saying that the people in Dali Temple were dishonest and deliberately let the murderer into Dali Temple.
"I disagree with what Prince Shu said. There are so many people in the Dali Temple. How can I remember them all?"
Seeing Beigong Shu speak, Xu Zhe said, "It's like there are hundreds of people in Prince Shu's mansion. Can Prince Shu remember their names and appearances one by one? Obviously not! Just based on this point, it is too far-fetched to say that I am the thief crying thief and deliberately murdering Prince Ning."
You can't throw dirty water on him.
Then he lifted his robe and knelt down. "No matter what, these people did get into trouble in the Dali Temple. As the Minister of the Dali Temple, I cannot escape the crime. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
He should take the responsibility that he should take and admit the guilt that he should admit.
The people in the Dali Temple have always been clear about right and wrong and have always been reasonable.
"Your Majesty, please punish me." Guo Da followed closely.
"What's the point of punishing you? If I punish you, will those people with lung disease come back to life? Will King Ning's health recover?" Emperor Ming was furious.
Xu Zhe and Guo Da knelt on the ground and dared not breathe.
Under the tremendous pressure, even Lin Miaoyin felt difficulty breathing.
Finally, Beigong Shu at the side broke the cold atmosphere in the imperial study, "Father, I request a match. If it is suitable, I am willing to donate my lungs to my fourth brother."
In an instant, everyone looked towards Beigong Shu.
Xu Zhe even had a shocked look as if to say "are you crazy?" Is there anything wrong with Prince Shu's brain?
As far as he knew, once the lungs were taken out, the person would die.
In his impression, Prince Shu and Prince Ning didn't seem to have much friendship, so where did the deep brotherly love come from? The only thing they had in common was Princess Shu. He heard that Prince Shu had stolen Princess Shu's love. Could it be that Prince Shu did this because he felt guilty about marrying Princess Shu? He didn't believe it!
If it's just a show, some act of brotherly love, there's no need to risk your life, right?
While his mind was turning, Sun Changhai smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Shu is talking nonsense. Even if the match is suitable, the emperor will not let you replace Prince Ning's lungs. In the emperor's heart, you and Prince Ning are the same. You are the same as each other."
"I naturally know that in my father's heart, I and my fourth brother are the same, but compared to me, my fourth brother is brave and resourceful, and is the war king of Beiliang. He is more important to the country of Beiliang, so I am willing to use my life to save my fourth brother."
Lin Miaoyin wanted to laugh.
In Emperor Ming's heart, the two sons, Prince Shu and Prince Ning, were indeed the same and equally unimportant.
Emperor Ming looked indifferent and said, "I am glad that you have this intention. But you still have to keep your lungs for yourself. If you really care about Prince Ning, go and find lungs for him." He didn't pretend to be nice.
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Xu Zhe and Guo Da who were kneeling on the ground. "Xu Zhe, as the Minister of Dali Temple, failed to fulfill his supervisory duties. He shall be beaten with thirty sticks and fined for three months. Guo Da is guilty of the same crime."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Not bad, not bad.
It's just a few punishments and a salary deduction.
Wait...they both got spanked, so what about the case? They can't just lie on the bed and do the case, right?
"As for tracking down the murderer..." Emperor Ming glanced outside the imperial study, and soon a young eunuch brought Lin Ruhui in, "Leave this case to Prime Minister Lin."
Lin Ruhui glanced at Lin Miaoyin calmly, then bowed, "I obey your order."
Soon Emperor Ming ordered his men to drag Xu Zhe and Guo Da out and beat them with sticks.
Lin Ruhui was afraid that the bloody scene would disturb Lin Miaoyin, so he urged her to go back. Lin Miaoyin also didn't want to see the bloody scene, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Emperor Ming.
Before leaving, she took two more glances at the moon-white figure.
Beigong Shu, she remembered it!
In fact, she did not enter the palace this time to seek justice for Beigong You.
If she really wanted justice, there was no need for her, a pregnant woman about to give birth, to make the trouble to make the trip. She came here in person just to find out who was behind this.
If the murderer cannot be found, it will be of no use even if more lungs are found.
Sure enough, the man couldn't sit still as soon as she entered the palace!
…
After everyone left, Emperor Ming leaned back heavily, removing the majesty around him and letting fatigue envelope him.
He pinched his brows and asked without raising his eyes: "Gone?"
Sun Changhai knew that Emperor Ming was angry, so he tried to reduce his presence as much as possible, "Your Majesty, we are all gone."
Emperor Ming snorted coldly, "Those on duty today will receive fifty beatings."
Sun Changhai felt a chill down his spine and knelt down suddenly. "It was my fault for not noticing this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The emperor was angry because Prince Shu entered the palace without permission.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to plead on their behalf. Just go and do it." Emperor Ming had a cold face, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he thought of the past.
This is not the first time he has overstepped his bounds.
"Yes, I obey your command." Sun Changhai then carefully got up from the ground.
Emperor Ming seemed to have thought of something, and ordered Sun Changhai: "Go there in person and make sure to send a suitable lung source to Prince Ning's mansion."
Sun Changhai bowed his head deeply.
It seems that the emperor has no trust in Prince Shu at all.
The King of Wei was about to return from Dayan, the King of Qi and the King of Ning had accidents one after another, and the two princes, the King of Shu and the King of Jing, were never idle.
Things are about to change in Shengjing!
