Chapter Ninety-Seven: The False Edict

"Lord Wang, it's not good, something happened in the palace."

Ruoying received the secret letter from the palace and immediately returned to the secret base to find Nangong Lichuan, who was kneeling in front of the man at this moment, asking for instructions uneasily.

"Say."

Nangong Li Chuan only spit out one word from his mouth, but it was enough to show his angry mood at the moment.

I felt that the pressure on my head was invisible like a huge mountain, and it was heavy, Ruoying had to tell the situation she got one by one, and saw that Nangong Lichuan's face was getting darker and darker, and the suppressed thunderous roar was about to break out.

"You mean, Nangong Xingchen and the crown prince want to rebel, and they already know that the edict is fake."

"Yes."

Ruoyingluo felt a gust of wind blowing on the faΓ§ade, and the whole person breathed as soon as he breathed, and his body was brought up and fell backwards.

"Bang." With a bang, Ruoying's whole person was knocked to the stone door at the end, and a mouthful of blood spit out, with fine sweat on his forehead, and the whole person fell to his knees.

"Please also ask the prince to forgive me."

"Hmph." Nangong Lichuan hated that iron could not become steel, and snorted coldly, he was extremely disappointed in Ruoying, and the murderous aura on his body couldn't help but be released.

"The subordinates are willing to atone for their sins."

"But this king wants to know, how will you atone for your sins?"

"Back to the prince, now the situation is unknown, I'm afraid it will be a bureau set up by Nangong Xingchen and the prince, it is better to let your subordinates pretend to be the prince to enter the palace on your behalf, even if it is a trap in the end, it will not hurt the prince at all."

Nangong Lichuan, who was still angry, heard Ruoying's words, dispelled the idea of abandoning him, thought for a while, and then said.

"Okay."

He took out the mask and handed it to Wakakage, who respectfully took it with both hands as if he were amnesty, and then said goodbye.

Nangong Lichuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was unhappy in his heart, this trick lured the snake out of the hole, he couldn't enter the palace, and he couldn't do it if he didn't enter, what Ruoying said just now was the best policy, it seems that he was really careless.

If he goes, if the prince really has evidence, he will falsely pass on the edict, and the crime of murdering the former emperor will be convicted.

This account is remembered by this king.

Inside the Royal Palace.

The crown prince and Nangong Xingchen were already waiting for the ministers in the main hall, and with the arrival of Lord Taifu, they also stepped into the main topic.

"Today, the palace called you to announce one thing, the emperor's edict is different, and my father told the king's edict where it was placed before he became seriously ill."

"This..."

The people below were shocked, discussing each other one after another, and they were also very puzzled about this matter, and the Li Wang Party felt even more ridiculous, and many people had already begun to move.

"Doesn't the prince think that this king is gone, and he is trying to confuse the will by talking about the edict like this, and he wants to take the throne from the king?"

Nangong Lichuan walked in from outside the main hall, with a bit of mockery and sharpness in his voice, facing the prince and Nangong Xingchen.

"I don't know who has this heart, the hand in the palace was written by the emperor himself, and the seal is even more fake, I don't know the second prince's share that can be scrutinized?"

"Hmph, this king's edict was read in front of everyone, and it was identified by Gonggong Chen, the prince should not slander this king without any evidence."

"Okay, then go and ask Gonggong Chen to come over and testify." After the prince finished speaking, a look motioned to the people around him to do it immediately.

"Hmph." Nangong Lichuan snorted coldly, full of disdain.

A moment later, the guard who went to find someone returned, but he didn't bring Gonggong Chen with him. The prince couldn't help frowning, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.

"Prince, it's not good, then Father-in-law Chen is already dead."

"Oops, that's good."

"Yes, how should the prince deal with it?"

β€œβ€¦β€

The people who had already stopped began to talk again, worried about the prince, these two forces were in chaos, and the princelings naturally supported the prince, hoping that the prince would win back this game, after all, they were all grasshoppers on the same rope.

The prince's face was unusually bad, and when he looked at the noisy minister, his heart began to be filled with displeasure and anger, especially the discussion that could be heard clearly in his ears, which came from the ridicule of the Li Wang Party.

"There are so many old people in the palace, it's not just Gonggong Chen, the prince might as well invite some people who have been by the emperor's side, I heard that the grandmother next to the queen mother has served the emperor since she was a child, maybe she knows."

Nangong Xingchen stood aside and prompted.

"Well, please."

"Yes." The guard took the order and hurried away.

The queen mother immediately led her grandmother to the main hall when she got the situation, and the ministers knelt down to pay palace salutes when they saw that the queen mother was also coming.

"The ministers will meet the Queen Mother."

"Zhongqing is flat."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"Grandma Huang, why are you here?"

"Can the mourning family not come for such a big event? I also brought Mama, and it just so happened that the ministers were all witnessing it one by one, so as not to make a big fuss. ”

"Yes."

"Second brother's edict, please take it out."

Nangong Lichuan looked at the prince squarely, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, but his pursed lips revealed a sense of forbearance and unwillingness.

"Bring it." Now that this form is in a dilemma, it is only hard to get up, and the coldness in Nangong Lichuan's eyes appears, faintly revealing murderous intent.

Soon, the two holy decrees have been placed in front of the table, Mama came to the front to look at the two holy decrees, the jade seal on the side has been prepared, Mama looked at it carefully, intending to find out what is different.

After a while, he reached out to take the jade seal to seal, took out a piece of semi-permeable oilskin paper on the side, stamped the jade seal on it, and picked it up and compared it with one of the holy decrees.

The first one was completely consistent, and then came to the other holy decree, Mama compared it seriously, at first I thought it was because I didn't see it clearly, and once again I looked at it carefully, and to people's surprise, there was no problem with the other one.

Mama's expressions and movements fell into the eyes of everyone, although she didn't quite understand what Mama meant, she could guess a rough idea, what direction must be the direction of those two holy decrees?

Nangong Li Chuan saw it in his eyes, and the smug look in his eyes was obvious, did the prince think that they would be stupid enough to use a fake jade seal, the prince had already planned it, and there was no flaw in this holy decree.

"How's it going?" The prince asked aloud.

Mama's face was slightly stunned, and she eased up, and then replied: "The imprints of these two holy decrees are exactly the same. ”

As soon as these words came out, the already confusing incident began to fall into a deeper mystery, and many ministers originally suspected Nangong Lichuan's, but now this one, they are a little undecided, and they don't know which of the two parties is right.

"This..."The Queen Mother was a little entangled, originally thinking about whether it would be Nangong Lichuan who faked the holy decree, but now these two parties are on the cusp of the debate.

"But is there any other way to tell the difference?"

"Other methods..."Mama fell into thought, constantly searching for habits related to the emperor, and suddenly remembered something, and her eyes flashed slightly.

"Until there is a way to do it."

When Mama's words fell, the prince asked as tightly as if he had seen the dawn, "What way?" ”

"Slave maid, this method will damage the holy decree, and please ask the prince to decide."

"Prince Ben thinks it's feasible, and I think the second brother will agree, right?"

Nangong Lichuan frowned, raised his head to meet the gaze of the prince, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he could only spit out two words from his mouth under the gaze of everyone.

"Nature."

Mama asked people to prepare scissors, and then asked for two tea cups, poured water inside, and then picked up scissors and cut a word on the holy decree.

Putting the cut strip of cloth into the bowl, I saw that the fine cloth was soaked and sunk in the water as seen by the naked eye, and the words written on it began to slowly blur, and a trace of black began to pull away from the cloth as if it had been spelled, and rose like light smoke.

It's just that the black of one of these bowls slowly turns red as it rises, so weird and subtle.

Nangong Lichuan saw the changes in this bowl, and his originally down-to-earth heart instantly began to panic, what is going on? His eyes were staring at the bowl of red liquid, and there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, this holy decree was counterfeited seamlessly, and even the handwriting was copied by a master, but now there was such a problem, it was that the ink used by this emperor was unique.

"There's a change."

The crown prince spoke, his heart was overjoyed, his holy decree was when the emperor was still awake, the first time before he was seriously ill told to him, it turned out that his father had already prepared the edict, that day the father realized that his limit was approaching, and told himself the place where he was hiding Zhao in order to worry about the situation that someone was cheating.

"This decree has been made true or false." As soon as Mama's words came out, everyone was looking forward to it, looking at Mama and waiting for the following.

"The emperor has a habit of writing holy decrees, few people know, this habit is to drop a few drops of red leaf flower juice into the ink, after accommodating, although the pen is a black font, but its essence is still a combination of red and black, if in the water, the red leaf flower juice will melt when it meets water, and it will be concentrated in the water to interpret all of itself. So there's this red liquid. ”

"So, this is a real testament."

Mama held up the prince's edict and showed it to everyone, Li Wangdang's face changed dramatically, and Nangong Li Chuan's face was even darker, even if it was, hum, no one would want to leave alive tonight.

"Long live the new emperor, long live, long live."

The most gratifying thing is undoubtedly the princelings, who immediately knelt down to congratulate the prince, which directly showed the orthodox inheritance of the prince in front of him. Under the gaze of so many people, most of the Li Wang's party, which was originally undecided, also bowed to the crown prince.

"Why is the second brother unconvinced?"

Seeing this, the prince looked at Nangong Lichuan, who was still standing, and said, the coercion and contempt of the superior were self-evident.

"The new emperor? It also depends on whether you can sit still. ”

Nangong Lichuan's words were not shocking, and the ministers on the side trembled, the meaning of these two princes was that they wanted to rebel and failed, and they soon confirmed Nangong Lichuan's words.

A group of black-clad and masked killers emerged in the shadows, and the minister who was still kneeling on the ground was so frightened that his body became weak and he collapsed on the ground, frightened by a change.

Looking outside the imperial capital, the front is on fire, fighting one piece, between the swords and swords, the horns and drums are contending, and the blood is drifting.

This is clearly premeditated!

"Kill."

Nangong Li Chuanhao gave an order emotionlessly, with a murderous aura on his face, the black-clothed killer moved immediately when he heard the order, and after finishing the guards on the side, he immediately attacked towards the prince's position.

Remember that the princess of the poisonous pet drove to her permanent address
