Wu Guangqi held high the holy decree, hurried to this small courtyard, and said loudly: "Prince Wei Mingxian takes the decree!"

The prince shivered fiercely, stepped forward hard, bowed down, and said, "Erchen is here." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gu Jun was shocked, what kind of troubled water did he inadvertently wade into? In front of the holy decree, the prince took the lead in kneeling, and everyone in the courtyard hugged and knelt down.

Wu Guangqi opened the holy decree, Gu Jun quietly glanced at it, and found that it was only a clear decree that had not been printed in the Chinese book. This can only prove that the emperor issued the decree in a hurry, or did not want the Zhongshu Province to know about it.

Thinking of this, Gu Jun only felt that the cold hairs on his back stood on end. The emperor didn't want the Zhongshu Province to know, that is, he didn't want others to know, but he accidentally got involved in this matter, which is quite bad!

"The emperor has decreed that the crown prince Wei Mingxian, the right Cheng Qin Changhong, and the court captain of Dali Temple, Gu Jun, will immediately enter the palace to meet him, and he will see him!"

The prince staggered to his feet, his face white and white, and his face was colorless.

In any case, he didn't expect that this matter would reach his father's ears so quickly. Secretly clenched his fists, and thought hatefully: King Qi, you are so anxious, aren't you afraid that your father will be suspicious of you?

Wu Guangqi had a hint of pity in his eyes, the prince was planted this time.

……

In the imperial study, Emperor Qinglong sat on the five-clawed golden dragon chair, his face expressionless, and he couldn't guess his joy and anger.

The prince, Qin Changhong, and Gu Jun knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Gu Jun, you get up and explain the beginning and end of the matter in detail. "Emperor Qinglong said.

"Yes!" Gu Jun got up at the order, and arched his hand: "Today, when the Dali Temple has just opened, Qin Youcheng of the household department beat the drum in front of the door, and Lord Ju received him. According to him, Qin Shuxi, the second son of his house, went out to visit friends yesterday and did not return overnight. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Lord Ju immediately ordered me to wait and launch a search throughout the city. When he arrived at the Xiuwen Workshop in the south of the city, he found Qin Shuxi's portable jade pendant in an alley. So, I gathered my hands and searched for them one by one. Finally found Qin Shuxi's trace in a three-entry courtyard. ”

"What was the situation then?" asked Emperor Qinglong.

Gu Jun wanted to be vague, but he couldn't fool around anymore, so he had to reply stubbornly: "Your Majesty, I found Qin Shuxi unconscious on the bed, with bruises on his body and fingerprints on his face. The clothes, shoes and socks on the ground were scattered, and there were traces of love. ”

Hearing this, Qin Changhong's teeth rattled, and he kowtowed again and again and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of the old minister! This is a bright and clear man, the son of a fourth-grade official in the DPRK, who was actually taken captive and desecrated!"

"You get up first. When Emperor Qinglong heard this, he instructed Wu Guangqi to bring a spring stool for him to sit down. He is a bitter master, and he cannot chill the hearts of the ministers of the court.

"What about the crown prince, where are you at this time?" Emperor Qinglong's tone was not angry but threatening, and the prince was in a cold sweat when he heard it.

"Father Emperor Mingjian! Erchen fell asleep in the mansion last night, and when he woke up, he found himself in a strange place, and Qin Shuxi was lying beside him. Please ask your father to be the master of your sons, and someone will frame your sons!"

After that, he kowtowed his head "bang", bent on winning the trust of Emperor Qinglong.

Emperor Qinglong's gaze slowly swept over the three of them and asked, "You guys, what else do you have to add?"

The three of them didn't say a word, Emperor Qinglong's eyes darkened, and he said, "Qin Changhong, Gu Jun, you go down first." This matter must not be known to others. ”

The two of them were in their hearts, even if the prince did such an ugly thing, the emperor still loved him and obeyed his orders.

After the two left, the crown prince kneeled on the ground, hugged Emperor Qinglong's legs, and wept: "Father, you must believe me! I have no relatives in this palace, and my younger brother does not know whether he is alive or dead, so I will be framed by someone if I am alone." ”

He really knew Emperor Qinglong the best, and he knew that at this moment, it was useless to say anything. Only by moving the abolished princess out can the father open the net.

Emperor Qinglong's face really flashed a trace of hesitation, and he sighed: "Xian'er, it's not that my father doesn't want to believe you. How can you deny this evidence? You say that someone has framed you, but who is it?"

A glimmer of hope rose in the prince's heart, and he hurriedly said: "Father, isn't it obvious that the person who framed me is only King Qi." He has been looking at me for a long time, and now that I am alone, he brazenly attacked, wanting to take away my crown prince. ”

Emperor Qinglong glanced at him in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.

The prince panicked, knowing that he must have said something wrong. When he woke up this morning, one thing after another came to him, and he was tired of coping.

At this point, he feels that he has fallen into your layer after layer of maze, and he doesn't know what the other party wants, and he doesn't know the opponent's hole cards, so he can only rely on his instinct and move forward step by step, trying to break free from this net.

"Xian'er, I can't believe that this sentence came out of your mouth. Emperor Qinglong shook his head slowly, and the look of disappointment on his face could no longer be concealed.

"Since you want to deny it to the end, I won't make it clear, I'm afraid you can't give up. ”

Emperor Qinglong's tone was gloomy, and he said: "That courtyard is the property under your name, don't you know? At three o'clock last night, you took Master Du and many of your subordinates out of your prince's mansion, and you haven't returned yet, you said that you slept in the mansion last night?"

"Do you need more evidence? Where is Master Du now? Do you want to pass the crown princess into the palace and ask where you stayed last night?" sentence after sentence, full of the father's deep disappointment in his son.

"You did such an ugly thing, and you were caught red-handed, you not only swept away the prestige of the prince, but also made your father lose face!"

Scolded by Emperor Qinglong, the prince was flustered, and said: "Father, the son has always been a bad fisherman, how could he do such an ugly thing! Be happy with a man, this makes me sick when I think about it! This is a trap set up by the King of Qi, and my father must believe me." ”

However, he couldn't explain his behavior of taking Master Du out last night, let alone the fact that he ordered people to stun King Chu and Qin Shuxi first.

In his heart, he still hasn't figured out why King Chu and Qin Shuxi fainted in Yunsheng Pavilion, but Qin Shuxi appeared on the same bed with traces of love?

Where did Master Du go? When he was leaving, he clearly ordered someone to take Master Du out of the room. He didn't return overnight, why didn't he deal with it at all, and let King Qi set up a situation at will?

Since his whereabouts last night could not be clarified, how could he win the trust of Emperor Qinglong just based on his suspicious empty words?

Emperor Qinglong originally didn't believe it, but after this questioning, in the face of the prince's pale and weak defense, he began to be suspicious, and he was even more angry at him for constantly slandering King Qi.

He looked coldly at the prince kneeling on the ground and said, "Come out!"
