Chi Yan lowered his eyelashes: "Feng Yong, you explain the ins and outs of this matter to His Majesty."
"Yes!" Feng Yong's voice was very loud, and could be heard clearly even by people more than ten meters away. He glanced at the trembling person on the ground, and curled his lips. "Your Majesty, I was ordered by the commander to guard the hunting grounds, but I noticed Zhao Fugui sneaking away, so I followed him. Who would have thought that this man would secretly damage the fence around the hunting grounds! I wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so I could only take him down first!"
To prevent wild beasts from the mountains from sneaking into the hunting grounds and offending the nobles, the area is fenced off. People only hunt within the designated area. If the fences are damaged, wild animals will inevitably sneak into the hunting grounds, causing injuries or deaths.
Chi Yan's expression was cold: "Your Majesty, it was precisely because Zhao Fugui damaged the fence that those two wolves had the opportunity to sneak into the hunting grounds and run into the Sixth Prince who came to hunt!"
Emperor Chongde was furious, his eyes dark as he stared at Zhao Fugui on the ground: "How dare you! Confess immediately, who ordered you to do this?"
Zhao Fugui's face turned deathly pale. Knowing he had been exposed, he still tried to struggle: "I didn't! Your Majesty, how could I dare to plot against the Sixth Prince?"
Feng Yong sneered, "I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it?"
Zhao Fugui bit his lip, then hardened his heart and said, "Yes, it was the commander who ordered me to do it!"
Now that things have come to this, he just wants to drag Chi Yan down with him.
But did he even consider whether this was believable? If Chi Yan had instructed him, why would he expose him? Not only would the emperor not believe it, but even the onlookers wouldn't believe it.
Before Chi Yan could speak, Feng Yong had already kicked him, his voice filled with anger: "You really have the guts to do something so despicable! You still have the nerve to implicate the Commander?"
The other person was in so much pain that they couldn't speak and collapsed to the ground in agony.
Emperor Chongde was agitated and raised his hand to have someone take him away.
The farce came to an end. Chi Yan was not punished, but instead was commended. However, considering that the Crown Prince was injured, it was considered that he had neglected his duty, so he was not rewarded.
...
"The son-in-law was so calm at the time, I was so worried for him!"
After listening to Xue Qing's enthusiastic retelling, Shen Tangning finally felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.
It seems he was indeed prepared.
I just wonder if we can find out who's behind him by interrogating that low-level henchman?
Shen Tangning frowned slightly and pursed her lips. If she hadn't known their plans beforehand, her cousin would have been suspected of being involved in the Sixth Prince's injury today.
Right now, in the eyes of outsiders, the Third Prince is dead and the Sixth Prince has run into trouble, so the only viable competitor is the Crown Prince.
Given His Majesty's temperament, he is bound to have many thoughts running through his mind...
But who knew that the Third Prince himself was not dead, and that he was the one who did all of this?
"Why didn't the commander have his subordinates expose him? Such a great opportunity, yet he only managed to expose Zhao Fugui..." Feng Yong frowned, deliberately lowering his voice.
Chi Yan's lips twitched, his eyes meaningful: "Isn't it boring to kill someone all at once?" He chuckled, "There's plenty of time in the future, I hope he can live a little longer."
His tone was slow and deliberate, making it seem like he was flirting with a girl, but his words sent chills down one's spine.
Feng Yong shuddered. Why was he so foolish to go against this heartless bastard?
