Chapter 432 Prisoner
The Second Princess said angrily, "My master didn't run away. He must have gone on a journey. It's not a coincidence."
"Second Princess, the information we found at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion reveals that you are the traitor within the palace who conspired with the Baihua Tower. The contract you signed with the Imperial Preceptor states that you provided Baihua Tower with cover and shelter in Da'an, and they helped you ascend to a high position..."
The second princess was going crazy, "You're talking nonsense, we didn't do it! We didn't do it!!"
At this moment, the three judicial officials came in escorting a prisoner.
It was the Imperial Preceptor, who looked haggard and dusty, as if he had been pulled out from some dirty place. Because he was too dangerous, he was wearing handcuffs and shackles, and even a yoke around his neck.
Where is the image of the hermit master he used to have?
At this point, he is a standard prisoner.
The Second Princess was overjoyed to see him and quickly said, "Master, you're here just in time. Please explain to them that Baihua Tower has nothing to do with us."
The Imperial Master ignored her with a sneer on his face.
Just standing there proudly, looking around.
"Kneel down, the emperor is here, you'd better confess the truth!" The chief of the three judicial departments shouted at him.
The Imperial Master still stood proudly, unwilling to kneel. "I am the dignified Master of Baihua Tower. How could I kneel before ants like you?"
The three judges kicked him in the vital joints of his legs and he fell to his knees with a thud.
The iron rope hit the ground, making a loud noise.
“Master!!!”
The Imperial Preceptor chuckled, "Second Princess, at this point, you and I shouldn't pretend to be a master-disciple couple. We at Baihua Tower are simply partners. You helped me conceal my identity, and I helped you ascend to the throne. We were almost there. As long as we could kill the Crown Prince, Da'an would be yours, and you could become the Empress. Unfortunately, one wrong move led to the capture of the Eagle Lord, and they found the Immortal Spirit Grass so quickly to detoxify him. We've lost everything. This is fate, and I accept it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience changed.
Silence.
Although some people have guessed the meaning, it is another matter when you hear the person involved say it.
The Second Princess was struck by lightning. "Master, what nonsense are you talking about? Master! What Baihualou? You are a master of a hidden sect of mechanical arts! Were you captured and tortured into confessing?"
The Imperial Preceptor laughed heartily. "The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. You can't escape, so just admit defeat! There's no such thing as a master from a hidden sect. That's just a cover. The diagrams of mechanical techniques that I taught you were just stolen from outside by our Baihua Tower when we were burning, killing, and looting. Second Princess, now that things have come to this, what else is there to say? Wasn't it you who proposed that the Baihua Tower's headquarters be built in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion? You said that if it was built here, no one would dare to harass me, and no one would be able to discover it. Who could possibly suspect you, Second Princess?"
Kill the First Prince and Prince Xiang first, and the rest will be much easier. Then find a suitable opportunity to kill the Crown Prince. The Emperor Xuan has a chronic illness and won't live long. The First Princess is a waste, and the Third Princess is even smaller and more useless. If you are the Queen of Da'an, you will have to make us from Baihualou your secret guards and represent the Six Gates..."
The Second Princess's mother was furious. "Grand Master, are you crazy?! Even if you are the owner of Baihua Tower, our Second Princess is unaware of this. Who ordered you to throw dirty water on her? Our Second Princess has been so kind to you all these years, and has truly respected you, giving you all the good things as a filial gift. If you have any conscience, you shouldn't slander her like this!"
The Imperial Preceptor looked at her with disdain. "It's just mutual exploitation, a pretense. Concubine Liang, wasn't it you who personally poisoned the First Prince? The First Prince wasn't feeling well those few days, so you took the opportunity to deliver some tonics and gave him bird's nests laced with the Spirit Cauldron poison. Didn't he feel grateful to you? Didn't he feel much better after consuming your tonics? Don't pretend, either. Without an insider in the palace, how could our Baihua Tower be able to act so easily?"
Concubine Liang was horrified, "You are talking nonsense!"
As a result, she panicked when she saw that everyone's eyes were on her.
She knelt in fear in the direction of Emperor Xuan, kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't do it. I did give bird's nest to the eldest prince, but I didn't poison him. He's talking nonsense! Our Second Princess is also innocent. He must have been bribed to slander us, mother and daughter..."
The second princess was in tears at this time, pointing at her usually respectable master, her fingertips trembling.
There is no point in making excuses.
The Imperial Master didn't argue with the mother and daughter, his expression dead in despair. "The Mother Cauldron I devotedly raised died. I was severely injured by the backlash, which is why I didn't have time to run away. Otherwise, you, the Three Law Enforcement Department and the Ministry of Justice, would have to wait until your next life to catch me! The Mother Cauldron is dead, and the foundation of Baihua Tower has been destroyed. You can kill me or chop me up, do whatever you want! I would be ashamed of my ancestors if I were still alive!"
Concubine Liang was so angry that she kowtowed in front of Emperor Xuan to apologize, her forehead turned red, but Emperor Xuan did not show any reaction.
It can be seen that Xuanhuang had already believed the words of the National Master at this time.
Looking back at the court officials who were very optimistic about the second princess, as well as her family members, they all lowered their heads, looking as if they wanted to avoid her as much as possible.
She knew that today was the end for both mother and daughter.
It’s all this fake national teacher’s fault!
She was filled with rage and suddenly got up from the ground. She pulled out a sharp hairpin from her hair and stabbed the Imperial Master, "I will fight you! You bastard, you slandered my mother and me. We can't survive anyway. I will fight you today!"
Before she could get close, the Imperial Master punched her in the face. Concubine Liang was knocked several meters away and fell to the ground, unconscious.
The Imperial Master snorted coldly, "Although I am seriously injured, I am not someone you, a useless woman, can bully casually."
The Royal Guards came forward and forced him to his knees, punching and kicking him, "Behave yourself!!"
The Imperial Master had blood coming out of the corner of his mouth, but he acted as if nothing had happened, with an expression of great contempt.
The second princess threw herself on Concubine Liang and cried, "Mother, wake up, someone come quickly, save my mother, the evil man kicked my mother to death, father..."
Xuanhuang didn't say anything, and no one dared to go up.
It was Liao Jiu who stepped forward and sniffed Liang Fei's breath, "Alive."
…
Jiang Lianzhu stood behind Dabao and the others and saw the farce clearly.
Dabao, Erbao, Nianbao...all three of them have gained a lot of knowledge.
