Chapter 224: A decisive blow! Kill the enemy with one move!
In Qin Garden, everyone was trapped in the garden, looking anxious and worried. They looked at each other, only daring to communicate with their eyes.
The Mingjing Division converted the main building into an interrogation room and interrogated everyone in turn, even the female members of the family were not exempted.
Everyone's legs were shaking when they went in, and their bodies were limp when they came out, which scared the people behind them.
Li Wuyang was sitting under the eaves, with a stern look and cold eyes, and a terrible low pressure lingering around him.
The head of the Lei family hurried over and saw the scene in front of him. His heart tightened. "Nine Thousand Years Old, why are you here? I don't think I gave you an invitation?"
It’s over. How did we attract this evil spirit?
A pair of cold eyes swept over, intimidating without even being angry.
"What? Not welcome?"
Patriarch Lei subconsciously avoided his gaze, "No, no, no, I'm truly honored."
Li Wuyang asked coldly, "Then why don't you dare look at me? Have you done something wrong?"
The head of the Lei family was extremely confused. How could such a plan, which he had calculated so carefully, go wrong?
What went wrong?
Cao Dewen, where is he? Trash, he can't even handle such a small matter.
It was a waste of his life to personally intervene...
Oh no, if Mingjingsi investigates the case, it will definitely lead to me being the one responsible.
"The Nine Thousand Year Old Heavenly Family's son is extremely powerful and majestic. I dare not look directly at him."
"Really?" Li Wuyang played with the jade ring nonchalantly, his expression extremely cold.
The head of the Lei family waited for a long time, but did not receive any questions from the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, and he became even more panicked.
But I didn't dare to ask or inquire about anything.
His mind raced as he looked at the Third Prince who was sitting on the side and winked at him, but the Third Prince had a dull expression and didn't receive any of his glances.
Patriarch Lei was anxious, "Ahem."
Li Wuyang looked over and said, "Third Prince, wake up quickly. Your grandfather is calling you to discuss countermeasures."
Third Prince: ...
Patriarch Lei: ...
He was extremely panicked. If he continued to investigate, the Lei family would definitely be finished.
Who could have thought that such a simple matter would involve Jiu Qian Sui.
"Nine Thousand Years Old, this concerns the reputation of Princess Jinyun. Don't make a big deal out of it. It's better for everyone to keep quiet and end it here."
It would have been fine if Yun Zheng hadn't been mentioned, but once she did, Li Wuyang's face became even uglier.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Patriarch Lei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Your Highness dare not."
After an unknown amount of time, a voice came from outside, announcing, "The Emperor has arrived."
A group of guards escorted the emperor in. The emperor looked solemn and unhappy.
Everyone knelt down and saluted, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
The emperor looked around and his eyes fell on Li Wuyang. He was slightly startled. Huh, so angry? It doesn't seem like he's acting!
Could it be that he is really too suspicious?
"Ninth brother, what's going on?"
Li Wuyang's face was as gloomy as water, and his bad mood was written all over his face.
"Let's take my pulse first. Even though I took a detoxification pill, I still feel very uncomfortable."
The emperor waved his hand, and several imperial physicians came forward to take the pulse of the Ninth Prince.
Li Wuyang looked at one of them and said, "Chief Physician, Princess Jinyun is in the inner room. Please go in and take a look."
He looked at Yun Mu who was standing at the door, "Mrs. Yun, please accompany the doctor inside."
Yunmu had been locked outside the door and was restless. When she heard this, she was shocked and said, "Yes."
The door opened and Yunmu walked in with Yi Zheng.
The emperor watched all this intently, his expression showing no emotion.
"Imperial Physician, what's the situation with Prince Rui?"
The imperial physician withdrew his hand and said subtly, "Your Highness was poisoned by an extremely powerful aphrodisiac. Fortunately, he took the antidote pill in time, otherwise he would have suffered endless consequences."
He paused, lowering his voice, "The effects of the drug haven't completely worn off yet. That's why Prince Rui feels uncomfortable all over, as his brain is hyperactive but his limbs are weak."
The Emperor gave Li Wuyang a deep look. Was he angry because of this? Or was he… being tricked and feeling unhappy?
"Hurry up and get rid of the drug."
"yes."
The imperial physician said softly, "I'll give you a few acupuncture injections to help you eliminate the effects of the medicine. You can drink a bowl of medicine..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream came from the inner room, "Ah."
The scene fell silent, and Li Wuyang's expression changed slightly.
The emperor frowned, "What happened?"
The door opened, and a figure rushed in like a gust of wind, pounced in front of the head of the Lei family, grabbed his collar, and punched and kicked him.
"You killed my daughter. If anything happens to my daughter, no one will survive."
The head of the Lei family did not fight back, but just kept dodging.
"Madam Yun, why did you hit me for no reason? The Emperor is here, please don't do anything reckless."
The Lei family members were extremely anxious and tried to stop them, but were stopped by the guards.
They shouted anxiously, "Madam Yun, your daughter was not careful... and was ambushed. What does this have to do with our head of the family? Do you have any sense of reason?"
Yunmu was tired from beating, and she fell to her knees in front of the emperor, tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, please help my daughter. Please."
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a severe headache. The complexity of the matter was beyond his imagination.
"What's Jinyun's situation now?"
"She..." Yunmu cried even more sadly, "Wuwu."
A crimson figure came out, "Mom, don't cry, I'm fine."
It was Yun Zheng. She stepped forward, helped her mother up, and bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty."
When the emperor saw Yun Zheng's appearance, his breath was held in his throat.
"Jinyun, your hand..."
This was not what he had imagined.
Yun Zheng's face was as pale as paper. She untied the white gauze on her left arm, revealing a hideous wound. The wound was very deep and had been treated, but it was still bleeding.
The bright red blood and the fair skin formed a sharp contrast, which was even more shocking.
The impact of this scene was so great that many women closed their eyes and dared not watch anymore.
Li Wuyang closed his eyes to hide the sadness in them.
I'm so angry, angry at myself.
He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect Yun Zheng to be so cruel to him.
Seeing this knife, the emperor's suspicion subsided a little, and he asked angrily, "What's going on?"
Yun Zheng's eyes filled with tears as she loudly accused, "Your Majesty, I am suing the Imperial Concubine's father. Earl Annan used coercion and bribery to make me betray Your Majesty and join the Third Prince's camp, becoming a member of his faction."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bombshell exploding above everyone's heads, and everyone's expression changed.
Oh my God, this is a matter of family strife, involving the most sensitive fight for the throne, and also touching the most sensitive nerve in the emperor's heart.
The head of the Lei family turned pale, "Your Majesty, this is unjust."
The emperor gave him a cold look and said, "Shut up, it's not your turn to speak now."
"Jinyun, please continue."
Yun Zheng's eyes were red with tears welling up in them. "After I sternly refused, they conspired with others to drug me, hoping to destroy my innocence and use this opportunity to hold something against me so that I would have no choice but to submit."
The girl who is usually so strong-willed, looked so pitiful as to hold back her tears, that even the hard-hearted emperor felt a little softened.
At the same time, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of my heart.
He was in his prime, and these people were eager to seize the throne and support the next monarch to ascend the throne.
Jinyun's loyalty to him made her a thorn in their eyes. If they couldn't win her over, they would get rid of her. It was extremely hateful.
A bunch of bastards!
Mrs. Lei was sweating profusely. "You're talking nonsense! My master is highly respected and a very upright person. He would never do such a thing. You're framing him."
Yun Zheng stretched out her injured arm, her expression resolute and furious. "To maintain my innocence, I stabbed myself in the scalp in a desperate moment, hoping to stay conscious and not be affected by the drug."
There was an uproar at the scene.
What a ruthless person!
A decisive blow! Kill the enemy with one move!
The Lei family is doomed!
