Chapter 405: Composure

If Guo Mao was instructed by someone, then the purpose of the instructing person would be obvious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The existence of this person is undoubtedly a great threat to the emperor's safety. Who could this person be?

Thinking of this, the emperor immediately sobered up a little.

"This is a piece of information that Erchen obtained a few days ago." As he spoke, the crown prince handed the emperor the letter he had sent to follow Guo Mao's subordinates in northern Xinjiang.

The letter is about the fact that in the process of tracking Guo Mao in northern Xinjiang, they found that Guo Mao had secretly met with two Xiliang people.

The emperor Huo Di opened his eyes and looked at the crown prince.

"How much else do you have to hide from me?" The emperor stared at the prince fiercely and asked.

At this time, the prince did not intend to hide it anymore, and it was also the time to be honest about everything, so the prince met his gaze and said, "This is the last one." ā€

The emperor sat up straight from the back chair, slapped the prince in the face, and asked, "This matter is so important, why didn't you tell me right away?" ā€

The crown prince didn't dodge, so he was slapped by the emperor so firmly, but he still replied calmly: "Erchen thought that you wouldn't think it was important to tell you at that time. ā€

Indeed, with his understanding of the emperor, he did not think that he could attract the emperor's attention by coming to report this matter at that time.

The emperor stared at him fiercely for a long time before he said, "You are too self-righteous, do you know how many people your self-righteousness will hurt?" ā€

The prince looked at him and replied, "Erchen knows, so Erchen has been secretly paying attention to the movements of Shangshu and Xiliang in the military department. ā€

"Hmph." The emperor flicked his sleeves and turned to the window.

Now, the room was filled with fire, but it was also the first time that the father and son had spoken so openly and honestly.

Although the emperor was angry, the crown prince Zhao Yuliang was relieved. He revealed everything that should be revealed, and he was not afraid of the emperor's anger.

Before long, the emperor walked out.

The prince also went out.

"I want to go to Kunyi Palace, you don't have to come with me." The emperor said.

"Yes, Father, go slowly." The prince said. watched the emperor go away.

After the emperor's figure was out of sight, the prince called Lin Frame and said: "The palace still needs to sit here, you go back to the East Palace first, and immediately after you go back, you will immediately send thirty from the left and right internal rates and the left and right clear rates to arrest those suspicious people outside the imperial city." ā€

"Yes." Lin Jian nodded, and leaned closer to the prince's ear and asked, "Do those battalions need to retreat?" ā€

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "Withdraw." ā€

Lin Frame went back to the East Palace.

………………

Ling Wang Zhao Teng stood on the roof of a tavern not far from the moat, looking intently in the direction of the imperial city.

His men had been lying in ambush around the Imperial City since early in the morning, and had not received any news from the palace until now (in the afternoon).

It is not easy to take the emperor's life, because it requires the cooperation of Zhang Zhaoyi and Guo Mao, but the prince's head should not be difficult to take, after all, the people he sent are all top martial arts masters, and there are fifty people.

However, after all this time, I still haven't received the slightest message.

Wang Zhao Teng couldn't wait, and immediately sent someone to understand the situation.

Within two quarters of an hour, the people sent hurriedly reported back: "Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arranged for the people of the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right guards of the East Palace to guard the East Palace. ā€

So, is the prince aware of it? Wang Zhao Teng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Get in touch with Lord Guo's people immediately and see what the situation is in the palace now." Ling Wang Zhao Teng said.

As soon as this person left, Wang Zhaoteng immediately frowned.

The palace maids around Zhang Zhaoyi may not be able to endure the torture and not confess, once they can't stand it, they will inevitably confess Guo Maolai soon.

Ling Wang Zhao Teng had been to the interrogation site to see, and knew the procedures of interrogation and torture, with his understanding, if those palace maids had been unwilling to reveal the truth, then by this time they must have been scarred and thirsty and tired, so the possibility of them continuing to survive became smaller and smaller.

Then, in this case, Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department who is well versed in criminal punishment, must urge Zhang Zhaoyi to act, otherwise, the matter will become more and more urgent.

However, until now, there has been no news about this matter, which has to make Wang Zhao Teng panic.

This matter must be interlocked, and there must be no mistake in each link, and now that it has reached such an urgent juncture, why hasn't there been a little bit of news from it?

Just when Wang Zhao Teng was so anxious, a person flew towards him and whispered in his ear: "Lord Wang, Zhang Zhaoyi drank that cup of tea by himself, and the military department Shangshu was also arrested and committed suicide in prison." ā€

Wang Zhao Teng's heart was shocked, dumbfounded, and suddenly felt a sense of the end of the world.

But he immediately calmed down and ordered: "Evacuate the capital immediately." ā€

Over there, the crown princess and the prince's ladies stayed in that room.

The room was very small, and it was very crowded with six women and the little county lord inside.

In addition to the crown princess, the other four women were extremely jealous of Wen Yingsu, so Wen Yingsu's eyes were as cold as if they were about to kill. Wen Yingsu was not afraid of them, but she didn't speak much, and only sat quietly in a corner.

Because they were worried about the safety of the prince, the emperor and the queen, they were not in the mood to play cards and embroidery, and they couldn't even read books, so a few people stared at each other like this, and the atmosphere was not very good.

Seeing that everyone had a straight face, the crown princess said, "Since there is nothing to do, then I will tell you a joke." ā€

The corners of Zhao Liangdi's mouth twitched and twisted her head away.

Zhu Liangyuan, Liu Zhaoxun and Feng Fengyi have angered the prince since they made a big fuss about Wen Yingsu and Wei Chengqin's private meeting last time, and now they are still related, so they didn't react to the princess's words.

In their opinion, the crown princess and Wen Yingsu are all the way, they hate Wen Yingsu, so they also hate the princess.

Of course, the crown princess knew their thoughts, but she didn't mind, so she told everyone a joke with a smile.

Except for Wen Yingsu, everyone else looked like they didn't listen, but the crown princess still spoke with interest.

However, I have to admit that the crown princess is very good at telling stories, and it didn't take long for these concubines to be attracted by the stories she told, and they had a cold expression at first, but they slowly became friendly again.
