Inside the main hall

"Why did Your Majesty issue an edict to release His Royal Highness King Yi? After all, the Liu family was killed, and King Yi did not suspect His Majesty. Fan Bozhong, the commander of the Iron Blood Army, looked at Emperor Zhaoning on the high seat worriedly.

"Liu family, sooner or later, I will have to get rid of it. Emperor Zhaoning raised his eyes and glanced at Fan Bozhong, "The temple has done this for me, and I have to thank the temple for it." ”

"Your Majesty might as well send someone to send the piece of paper with the cross symbol to King Yi, so that His Royal Highness King Yi can also be relieved of His Royal Highness's suspicion of His Majesty. Fan Bozhong suggested.

"I'm afraid it's going to backfire. Emperor Zhaoning said coldly, "King Yi won't make any moves." After all, the queen is still in the harem, and King Chen is still in the harem. ”

"Nagong Wang ......," Fan Bozhong hesitated.

"What's going on over there in Yeshu?" Emperor Zhaoning saw Fan Bozhong asking, so he asked Fan Bozhong rhetorically.

"Your Majesty don't worry, there is nothing abnormal on King Gong's side. It's just that King Yi's submission identified His Royal Highness King Gong, and His Majesty released King Yi, so it is inevitable that His Royal Highness King Gong will not have doubts in his heart. ”

"Do something for me. Emperor Zhaoning's words changed, "Put King Guang Yeshu in prison, and wait for me to discuss with the ministers before dealing with it." ”

"Your Majesty, why is this? Forgive the minister for being stupid, the minister doesn't quite understand what His Majesty means. Fan Bozhong looked at Emperor Zhaoning in confusion.

Emperor Zhaoning smiled incomprehensibly, "You don't need to understand, just do it, tomorrow morning, I will give those ministers who are as confused as you a reason." ”

"Yes, the minister will take people to the Guangwang Mansion. Fan Bozhong said.

......

"What! You want to arrest the fourth brother?"

Fan Bozhong took the men and horses of the Iron Blood Army to the Guangwang Mansion to arrest people, Ye Fan was still in the Guangwang Mansion at that time and never left, at first hearing the news, the whole person was shocked and speechless.

However, Yelan seemed to have expected that Fan Bozhong would bring someone to arrest him, so he stood there with a calm look, and just said lightly to Fan Bozhong, "I'll go with you and lead the way." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness King Guang, for your understanding. Fan Bozhong gave a perfunctory salute to Yelan, and waved his hand to order his subordinates to take Yelan away.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Fan stopped them, "For no reason, why did my father suddenly order to arrest the fourth brother, he always had to give a reason to take people away." ”

"Your Majesty has your own holy will, and we are only acting on orders. Fan Bozhong's face was indifferent, as if he disdained to take care of Ye Fan.

"King Yi has been released, and I, as the judge of this case, will naturally be arrested. Ye Lan said inexplicably, as if talking to herself, and as if explaining Ye Fan's questions.

Ye Fan didn't understand what he meant, his eyes looked at Ye Lan blankly, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Yelan threw such a sentence to Yefan before leaving. Fan Bozhong watched the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army crush Ye Lan, hastily saluted Ye Fan, turned around and left the Guangwang Mansion indifferently.

......

Yiwang Mansion

"Your Highness has finally returned, and my subordinates have been worried for a long time. Your Royal Highness wants to order your subordinates to change their clothes and bathe?"

"This king is not in that mood!" Ye Ji didn't pay attention to Guo Anzhi's flattery, and walked inside angrily.

"Your Highness is angry. Lord Shangshu, please don't be too sad. Guo Anzhi accompanied Ye Ji with a smiling face, and followed him into Ye Ji's study.

"How's the investigation, who did it!" Ye Ji angrily slammed the door of the study shut, and Guo Anzhi was almost hit in the face by the door.

"Temple...... Your Highness, the jury is still undecided. But...... However, the Iron Blood Army has already investigated, and I believe that it will not be long before the culprit who destroyed the Shangshu Mansion will be found. Guo Anzhi carefully observed Ye Ji's face, for fear that if he didn't say a word, he would anger Ye Ji and lose his head.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it won't come to fruition. Ye Ji softened his tone, "Who did this, who must know who knows it!"

"Temple...... Your Highness, what does this mean?" Guo Anzhi listened to Ye Ji's tone, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out of fear.

"The queen mother and younger brother are still in the palace, and this king will not make a move for the time being, but this account, this king remembers!" said Ye Ji viciously, as if he was going to devour his life alive. Guo Anzhi on the side was frightened into a cold sweat by Ye Ji's appearance, his entire back was soaked, his forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and he looked at Ye Ji with fear on his face, not daring to make a sound.

"Temple...... Your Highness, our people say that they ...... They found a note from the temple during the search, perhaps ...... Be...... It was the temple who did it. Guo Anzhi's voice became smaller and quieter, and his eyes stared nervously at Ye Ji, as if his head was going to fall to the ground in the next second.

"Yelan was caught in. Although this king has always been at odds with Yelan, it is not his business to catch him, and this king will not feel worried, nor will he feel ridiculous. But Yelan said that to the king before he was arrested, this matter must have something to do with ...... It's inseparable. Ye Ji's hand was clenched tightly into a fist, and his fingers "gurgled", and the whole fist was red like a fire. It seemed that he was trying to restrain himself, and it took a long time to suppress his emotions, and his voice was not loud but creepy, "Settle the future affairs of Shangshu Mansion for this king, and then send someone into the palace to comfort the queen mother." And then...... Let's stop this for now!"

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will do it. Guo Anzhi got the amnesty and left the study quickly. After walking out of the study for a few miles, he stopped and took a long breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, relaxed the whole person, and slowly left Yiwang's mansion.

"Why does Your Highness think this matter is ...... "After Guo Anzhi left, Shen Anran, Yeji's favorite concubine and the daughter of King Xichang, walked out of the study and asked Yeji leisurely.

As soon as Ye Ji saw Shen Anran, the tone of the whole person softened a lot. "When I was in prison, my uncle sent people to take care of me, so I didn't suffer much in prison. But now that my uncle and grandfather were suddenly killed, I think it's ...... Father should have noticed it. ”

"What did His Highness and Lord Shilang of the Criminal Department discuss?" Shen Anran was very smart, and when he heard it, he could hear that something was wrong from Ye Ji's words.

"My uncle told me that if my father is unwilling to let me go, or wants to execute me, then my uncle will join forces with his own people in the court to force the palace and force my father to release me. But the next day, today, I ...... "I didn't know what to say for a while."

"Your Highness never suspected that it was really the Temple's doing?" Shen Anran suddenly changed his words.

"No way. Ye Ji resolutely denied her, "Although the temple pays attention to justice, the poor and the weak, to the uncle and their ...... but those who are greedy for money and profit will not tolerate it. But if it were to be destroyed on another day, I would still believe that now I suddenly made a move for no reason and for no reason, and it happened to be the day after the conversation. Is this king a fool? Logic aside, if there are many coincidences, it will be an illusion. ”

"Then His Highness has decided that it is Your Majesty. ”

"I don't know if Ye Shu intervened, but my father ...... Huh!" Ye Ji sneered.

"Then why was His Royal Highness the King of Light arrested?"

Yelan had expected that he would inevitably be sent to prison while in prison. I can guess how my father will explain it to the courtiers tomorrow. Ye Ji coldly imitated Emperor Zhaoning's tone, "The Liu family was destroyed yesterday, and the queen's mother family suffered this catastrophe, I was really heartbroken, and I couldn't bear it, so I forgave King Yi of the sin, to be observed, so that he could make meritorious contributions in the future to make up for his mistakes." King Guang Yelan, the interrogation was unfavorable, he framed his brother, and his confession was extremely absurd, and he was ordered to be imprisoned for reflection. ”

"But this edict can't be explained, how can it convince the public?"

"The Emperor's words are oracles, and no one dares to disobey them. Issuing the Divine Decree to explain it is just a procedure. ”

"Your Highness, I'm afraid Your Majesty wants to support King Gong on the throne. Shen Anran suddenly realized.

"I've known this for a long time, but I don't want my father to do it so desperately. Ye Ji said coldly, "Don't worry, the position of the prince can only be mine, if anyone dares to fight with me, then I will let whoever die." ”
