Chapter 357: Come Back
When it was almost dawn, the emperor woke up, and everyone present was overjoyed except for the crown prince.
If the emperor is fine, then the political situation will not be turbulent.
A few days ago, the people of the entire Ming Kingdom were living in unease.
Therefore, a group of important ministers urgently gathered to discuss how to deal with it. At that time, most of the people attending the meeting were in favor of the crown prince succeeding to the throne, and some of them were themselves close to the prince, and they strongly demanded that the crown prince's accession to the throne be established as soon as possible. However, several upright old courtiers came forward to stop him, thinking that the emperor was still there and could not act too hastily, so he barely stabilized the situation.
At that time, the prince also thought that he had won the battle, so he had made a series of relevant preparations in private.
More than half a year ago, when the crown prince realized that the third prince had the possibility of catching up with him day by day, he had already begun to carefully plan this matter, but he did not expect that the matter would be revealed at the last moment. He was disappointed and panicked.
When he learned that it was Yan Jinxuan who had realized that the emperor was witchcraft in advance, he said hatefully in his heart: "Yan Jinxuan, I will let you go for the time being, and when I have the opportunity to ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely make you pay a painful price!" ”
Yan Jinxuan naturally knew this, so he knew from the moment the emperor woke up that he now had another enemy.
Either way, he wasn't scared and wouldn't back down.
After dawn, the news of the emperor's awakening spread among the palace and civil and military officials, and many ministers immediately entered the palace to listen to instructions.
But the emperor's body was still too weak, so he neither went to the court nor received the ministers who came to the palace to ask for a meeting that day.
He only called Yan Jinxuan, Liu Chengze and Fu Dapeng, who were sitting in the Taiji Hall, to his side. And let others take shelter for a while.
"Yan Aiqing, I heard that you discovered the cause of my illness in advance, I thank you very much!" The emperor looked at Yan Jinxuan and said.
"You're welcome, the emperor is fine!" Yan Jinxuan hurriedly said.
Then the emperor said to the three of them: "Since this incident is caused by man, I have sent you to investigate this matter, and you can help me find the real culprit as soon as possible." ”
The three of them hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
So the three of them immediately made an appointment to meet the three princes after they walked out of the palace.
The third prince had already learned the truth of the matter last night, so he said: "The witness has been killed. ”
Then he told them about the previous night.
Fu Dapeng hurriedly asked: "Then how should we give an account to the emperor?" ”
Because it involved the crown prince, they did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, this matter is related to the three princes, so they have to be even more cautious.
"Let the king explain everything to the emperor." The third prince said.
So the three princes took the three of them back to the palace to explain everything to the emperor.
The emperor listened to the story of the three princes. There was not a single expression on his face.
So to speak. Did the prince try to kill him by sending someone to perform witchcraft?
But this is just the words of the three princes, even if the emperor wants to believe it, he has to be a little vigilant, so the emperor said: "Send someone to bring the body of the god and witch Cai Chu immediately." ”
Last night. When Shen Wanquan came back to report to the third prince, the third prince immediately sent someone to properly place Cai Chu's body. Therefore, now after receiving the emperor's instructions, he immediately sent Shen Wanquan to bring it.
The emperor looked at Cai Chu's body. A long sigh.
Now is the time for Prince Xuan to confront him, but since Cai Chu is dead, it means that the evidence has been lost. It is probably still impossible to convict the crown prince.
The emperor rubbed his forehead.
After learning the news of the emperor's announcement, the prince slowly came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Entering the emperor's bedroom, the prince saw the three princes, Yan Jinxuan, Fu Dapeng and Liu Chengze standing on the side at a glance, and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
The emperor was helped by Empress Kuang and slowly got out of bed and sat down on the dragon chair beside him.
"What else do you have to say about witchcraft?" The emperor looked at the crown prince and asked.
Empress Kuang was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" ”
The Emperor raised his hand and motioned for her not to ask.
Empress Kuang had no choice but to shut up.
The prince hurriedly said: "The retainers don't know about this. ”
The emperor glanced at the crown prince and said loudly: "Put the prince under house arrest." ”
Immediately, twenty guards came forward to hold the prince hostage.
The prince hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, what is the crime of the son?" ”
"The widow will find out what happened." The emperor said that he did not raise his eyes to look at him.
Twenty guards then took the prince away.
"Bring all the people around the prince to me, and I will interrogate them personally." The emperor said.
The guards hastened to comply.
After the investigation with the assistance of the three divisions, the people around the prince confessed the prince's conspiracy, and the prince's accomplices, General Deng, General Du, Taishi, Taifu and Taibao, were all beheaded.
The crown prince was also sentenced to life imprisonment.
Although Yan Dingpei was a subordinate of the crown prince, he was saved from death because he did not participate in the conspiracy, but he had to be demoted from Zhan Shi Mansion to the Ministry of Officials.
The dust settled.
When everyone left the palace, it was late at night.
"Lord Yan, shall we go have a drink?" When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Fu Dapeng stopped Yan Jinxuan.
But Yan Jinxuan just wanted to go back to see Su Shanyun at this time, so he waved his hand and said, "No, I've been busy for two days and two nights in a row, I want to go back and get a good night's sleep." ”
"Okay, then you can go back quickly." Fu Dapeng said with a smile. He knew that Yan Jinxuan was now in the newlywed period, so it was not easy to force it.
Yan Jinxuan immediately got into the carriage and rushed home.
There was silence at Changxingmen.
People are already asleep.
Yan Jinxuan strode towards his room.
Lifting the double-layer tent, Yan Jinxuan saw Su Shanyun who was thinking day and night.
But seeing her curled up and lying on her side, her brows furrowed slightly, she didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully.
She must have slept hard these two nights, right? He thought to himself.
He reached out to stroke her face, and she immediately opened her eyes.
Seeing that he was back, she was overjoyed and immediately reached out to hug him.
Tears of joy also fell down with it.
He came back, and he was unharmed, and her whole heart was at ease.
"I'm sorry to worry you for the past two days!" Yan Jinxuan said softly.
"It's okay, just come back safely." Su Shanyun said, pressing her face against his.
Yan Jinxuan hugged her and sat down on the bed.
"Second master, you must not have rested much in the past two days, right?" Su Shanyun asked, looking at his bloodshot eyes.
Yan Jinxuan nodded.
"I serve you to bathe." Su Shanyun said.
She gently undressed him, kissing the placket of his shirt at each time, and when all the clothes were taken off, she reached out and hugged him, buried her face in his chest, and couldn't help but cry again.
"What's wrong?" He asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm happy." She rubbed her face against his chest and said.
There was nothing more joyful for her now than to see him return safely.
Yan Jinxuan's heart was suddenly filled with happiness, and he leaned over to kiss her fiercely. (To be continued.) )
