Chapter 239: Treacherous Scheme
The carriage drove out of the gate of Dong's house, Dong Xueyi suddenly felt that her heart was unprecedentedly relaxed, her body was heavy for several days, and she suddenly relaxed, and even the air between her nose was full of the smell of freedom.
Although the courtyard of the White Paper Square Bridge is small, it is enough for her and Brother Ting to live.
Touching a small pocket box that had been hidden in her sleeve, Dong Xueyi was glad that she had kept the box in her hand at that time, if it was put in a cage, it would have been turned out by the Bai family.
The box contains, in addition to the soft silver tickets, and some land deeds, which she has privately purchased over the years, thinking that she will have another daughter in the future and use these things to supplement her dowry, but now these things have become the support for her and Brother Ting'er.
After noon, the inner room sent by the emperor to the prison to deliver the message hurriedly returned to the imperial study under the scorching sun.
The heavy door made a "creaking" sound, and the emperor's eyelashes trembling slightly on the bed opened his eyes.
From beginning to end, he didn't fall asleep for a moment.
Turning over and sitting up, the chamberlain had already saluted with his sleeves on, and stood in front of him with a hunched waist, "Your Majesty, over there in the prison, all the methods that can be used have been used, and the prince said that it is okay if he recruits, but he is willing to say only when His Majesty and all the princes go over." He also said......"
The chamberlain glanced at the emperor cautiously, trembling a little, and did not dare to say the latter words.
The emperor snorted heavily, knowing that the words behind him must be a big rebellion, but he still let him continue.
The waiter's tongue trembled, and he continued with a wince: "Duan Wang Ye said that the emperor knows best what kind of character he is, and he wants to put the torture of extorting confessions on him, and His Majesty is too ...... to sleep" Such disobedient words, the waiter really didn't have the courage to say it, swallowed his saliva, and simply mixed it up and didn't mention it.
Duan Wang Ye only said that if His Majesty wants to know the truth, he will do what he asks, otherwise, he would rather be tortured every day than confide a word. ”
The chamberlain stood aside, his wide brocade robe fluctuating up and down as he trembled.
The emperor's face was pale, and a heavy whirring sound came out of his nose, obviously extremely angry, and his deep eyes stared at the bright sun outside for a moment, and said, "Summoning the princes to the heavenly prison." ”
When the chamberlain heard this, he immediately went to carry it out.
Suddenly, whether it was the one who opened his teeth outside the palace and built a mansion or was still being held by the nurse in his infancy, all the princes, together with the emperor, gathered in the dark and damp prison.
This place, Xiao Yu is here for the first time.
Walking on the emperor's side, there is no solemnity on other people's faces, but it is like visiting the Grand View Garden, looking east and west, and from time to time pointing to a certain place and twisting His Majesty to ask, which provokes the emperor's originally angry and heavy heart, and it is a lot lighter.
When he walked in front of King Duan, because of Xiao Yu's constant gags, the emperor's face was no longer angry, but with a few smiles.
The smile, the stinging Duan Wangye's eyes were painful, like an eagle's eyes narrowed slightly, and the sharp light swept over the emperor's and all the princes' faces one by one, seeing that all the people who should have arrived had arrived, he showed a sneer, "The imperial brother really cares about Gu Zhen! For the sake of his son, he did not hesitate to let his son gather in the heavenly prison." ”
As he spoke, Duan Wang Ye pointed to a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes not far behind the emperor, and the smile in his eyes became more and more wanton and wild, "If the courtier brother is not mistaken, this little prince was born only in the daytime! ”
"Tsk!" After a strange sigh of Yin and Yang, Duan Wang Ye smiled at the princes behind the emperor and said with a smile: "The imperial brother is really as ruthless as ever, and his own blood and blood are not as good as a general who can fight well in the heart of the imperial brother." ”
Saying that, Duan Wang Ye shook his head and sighed, "You are so pitiful, compared to you, your father cares more about that kid of the Gu family!"
The emperor looked at Duan Wang Ye coldly, and after he finished speaking, he sat down unhurriedly on a chair covered with thick mattresses moved by the palace people, shook his robe, and said with a smile: "At this time, does it make sense for you to still say these heart-wrenching words?"
The emperor's calm and unmoved appearance made Duan Wang Ye a little annoyed, and after the corners of his eyes jumped, he said in a cold voice: "Is it useful, I only know after saying it, anyway, I am not far from death, if I can see you become a loner before I die, isn't it just right!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the princes behind the emperor.
The emperor didn't pay attention to his malicious intentions, and only said: "You know, I am busy every day, and I don't have much time to talk to you, and now everything is done according to your requirements, can you tell me why you changed Gu Zhen's sister-in-law, and where is the child now?"
As the emperor's words sounded, no one noticed that in the crowd, Xiao Ke, the ninth prince, looked at Duan Wang Ye with a nervous gaze.
Duan Wangye's cold eyes swept over the faces of each prince one by one, and finally, his gaze stayed on the emperor's face that was similar to him, his eyebrows were slightly raised, with a provocative meaning, and said: "I didn't just change Gu Zhen's son, brother Huang, among your sons, didn't I steal the beams and change the pillars?"
"Don't mention the eldest son of the dead emperor, from the second prince Xiao Duo to the little prince, well, it is the baby who is still in swaddling clothes, among them, maybe which one was replaced by me, it doesn't matter if you kill me today, wait until you are a hundred years later, the new emperor who ascends the throne may be my son!"
"You ......" The emperor was suddenly angered by Duan Wangye's words, and stood up from the chair, the muscles around his mouth trembled, and he raised his hand and pointed to the prince's nose, but he couldn't say a word angrily, and he felt that the blood was on the top of his head.
The emperor's angry reaction made Duan Wangye's already smug laughter even more gloating.
Xiao Duo immediately stepped forward and helped the emperor's arm, "Father Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense, he is clearly ......"
Duan Wang Ye stopped Xiao Duo's words with a sneer, and looked straight at Xiao Duo, "Maybe, you are the child who was replaced by me!"
When Xiao Duo heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't help but tremble when he was holding the emperor's hand, "You are talking nonsense!" blurted out.
As if he had seen a good show, Duan Wang Ye wore his hair out, looked up to the sky and laughed, laughed, and sighed, "It's a pity, I'm not blessed to see my son ascend the throne!"
"Come on, hang this rebellious man for me and beat him!" the emperor ordered angrily.
Knowing that Duan Wangye's move was really a curse, he should not be bewitched by him at all, and he could leave all the way from the prison, Duan Wangye's words were entrenched in his mind for a long time and refused to disperse.
In the end, among his sons, have any of them really been replaced by Duan Wangye.
The suspicious eyes fell on his princes one by one, and the emperor only felt a splitting headache.
