Chapter 24: Defending is Attacking

Heng Wangfu suffered, the people talked about it, many people with lofty ideals spontaneously signed a joint letter, praising King Heng for governing the plague as a good deed, Wangguang Holy Emperor thought twice, first rescued King Heng, and the loyal ministers led by the imperial history in the court also began to play, shouting grievances for King Heng, for a while, the situation of the court was complicated, so that the Guangsheng Emperor was very headache, and finally couldn't help but be full of people, and ordered King Heng to be moved back to the palace, treated by the imperial doctor, and the people in Hengwangfu were still detained.

After the imperial doctor finished diagnosing Xiao Mo's pulse, he withdrew from dispensing medicine, and at this time, Qianying avoided everyone and came to Xiao Mo's side.

"How's it going?" Qianying caught Xiao Mo's pulse, the pulse was beating strongly, and it seemed to be fine.

Xiao Mo coughed lightly and said, "The medicine you gave is really powerful, and the attack is exactly the same as the plague, and now that I take the antidote, I still have some weakness in my body." ”

"Who told you to take two pills, isn't it very toxic?" Qianying gave him a blank look, and explained to him again and again that he could only take one, but he was good, and he took two, which was really not too fateful.

"The symptoms are not severe, how can they hide it from the prince, and how can they take action." Xiao Mo leaned on the couch with his body propped up, his face was very pale.

Qianying shook her head, a little helpless, "You really don't take your life seriously. ”

"Okay, don't count me down, the evidence of the prince's guilt collected earlier can be taken out."

"Okay, I'll do it." Qianying was about to get up, but was stopped by Xiao Mo, "Wait." ”

"Give the incriminating evidence to Lin Feng, I think he will make the most of this evidence."

"I'll go." Qianying jumped and disappeared into the Hengwang Mansion.

In the prison, everyone in King Heng's Mansion was locked up in two places, and Xia Man was locked up with Xiao Mo's wife and concubine.

Since the day I came in, except for the concubine and the side concubine, the rest of the concubines were crying, crying so much that Xia was full of headaches, and now it was late at night, and the concubines were probably tired of crying, so they curled up in the corner early and fell asleep, and Feng Ruoqing also leaned aside, and seemed to be asleep.

Xia Man quietly paced to Liu Wuwu's side, and said in a low voice: "Now that King Heng's Mansion has been charged with collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, do you regret it?" ”

Liu Wuwu, who was originally pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and stared straight at Xia Man, "What do you mean by this?"

Xia Man smiled lightly, moved closer to Liu Wuwu, and said to her ear: "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Liu Wuwu closed her eyes again and no longer paid attention to Xia Man.

Seeing that Liu Wuwu was like this, Xia Man changed the topic and said, "Now that King Heng's Mansion is in prison, there are people in the palace who can come to see you." ”

Liu Wuwu moved her lips and never said a word.

"As far as I know, you are the concubine of the clan, why did you become Princess Heng in the first place? The crown prince and the king are incompatible, and sooner or later they will fight each other, if the king of Heng falls, can you, the princess of Heng, be alone? Perhaps, your life count will stop there. Xia Man secretly observed her in the mansion for a long time, and found that this Liu Wuwu cared about her life very much, and wanted to try her.

Time passed minute by minute, Xia Man heard a low sob, through the dim light, Xia Man saw the crystal under Liu Wuwu's eyes, she knew that Liu Wuwu's psychological defense began to collapse, "This time, if King Heng can survive the crisis safely, you, Princess Heng, will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”

"It was she who asked me to release the letter, and when I was tried, I was convicted of the prince's treason." Liu Wuwu wiped the tears that slipped from her cheeks, and her voice was a little hoarse.

The 'she' in Liu Wuwu's mouth must be the queen, it is really extremely vicious, Xia Man suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said: "Tomorrow, when the three divisions are tried, you can escape by doing what I say." ”

Xia Man leaned into Liu Wuwu's ear and told her exactly what he was going to say tomorrow.

This night, everyone had their own thoughts, Xia Man had a good night's sleep, and the next morning, everyone in prison was taken to the three divisions for interrogation.

The people who tried the case were Deng Yuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Ye Bozhang, the imperial historian, and Zhou Yue, the secretary of the Dali Temple.

Halfway through the trial, Liu Wuwu insisted that King Heng was framed, and asked the three divisions to re-examine the evidence of treason, and even hit his head on the coffee table for the sake of protecting King Heng's reputation, almost fainting.

Feng Ruoqing used Xiao Mo's achievements over the years as an excuse to argue that he would never collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.

The three divisions carefully examined the letter of the 'King Heng case', and found that this paper was extraordinary, it was actually the dark pattern of dragon scales dedicated to the prince's mansion, so the results of the trial were presented to the Guangsheng Emperor together with the paper, and at this time, Lin Xiao, the deputy general of the border, urgently reported that the prince had fornicated with the wolf department and colluded with the Northern Dynasty in a blood letter.

In the court, the Light Saint Emperor had a gloomy face, looking at the evidence of the prince's collaboration with the enemy in his hand, the green tendons on his forehead were fully displayed, and his eyes were full of anger. "You're so daring!"

The Light Saint Emperor, who has always loved the crown prince, actually smashed a teacup over, and with a 'bang', the teacup shattered in response, and Xiao Wei's forehead was suddenly smashed out of a big bag, and the tea leaves were stuck on his face, very embarrassed.

"My father is angry, someone must have framed his son." Xiao Wei didn't care about the pain, and kept kowtowing.

As soon as the Light Saint Emperor raised his hand, the letter with the dark pattern of dragon scales was thrown out, "This is unique to your prince's mansion, how others framed you, but you, who are bold, not only collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but also framed his siblings, and his virtue is at a loss, and he is really unworthy of the position of the prince."

Xiao Wei kept kowtowing, shouting that he was wronged, and the ministers below were divided into two factions, one faction was headed by the military department Shangshu, who proved the prince's innocence, and the other faction was headed by the imperial history, counting the prince's crimes, and the two factions quarreled, and although the protector general Lin Kang remained neutral, but between his words, it was revealed everywhere that the prince had controlled the army and conveyed the enemy's feelings, and for a while, Xiao Wei was in danger.

"Niangniang, it's not good, the prince's matter has been revealed, and the emperor plans to abolish the prince." Cuilan, the eldest girl beside the queen, hurriedly came and reported the news found in the front hall to the queen.

When the queen heard this, she stood up and stared at Cuilan fiercely, "The news is true?"

"Niangniang, the slave doesn't dare to lie." Cuilan knelt on the ground and broke out in a cold sweat.

After thinking for a moment, the queen went to Concubine Cheng's palace alone.

"See the concubine." The queen respectfully saluted the concubine.

The concubine was a little surprised when she saw this, the harem was respected by the queen, and she didn't have to salute herself, so she was afraid that she came for the affairs of the front hall, and after retreating from everyone, she said: "The queen is here for the prince's business?"

"Concubine Mingjian, please keep my son's position as the crown prince."

"Queen, the affairs of the previous dynasty are not something that our deep palace women can put their beaks on."

The queen was blessed and said: "If the concubine is willing to keep the position of the crown prince, he will ascend the throne one day, and the position of the queen will be Jingsi." ”

Concubine Cheng smiled, got up to help the queen, and said to the grandmother in the inner room: "Fuzhu, take the lonely soldier talisman, and go to the front hall with the queen." ”

In the court, the prince's party was defeated, and more crimes were revealed, and the Guangsheng Emperor was almost angry, but fortunately, the eunuchs around him were clever and supported the Guangsheng Emperor in time, so as not to fall off the dragon chair, "The prince has no virtue, how can he go to the Chengzong Temple, and the ...... is solid"

"Emperor Slow!" The queen helped the concubine to come slowly.

Seeing Concubine Cheng coming, the emperor instructed the eunuch to install a seat beside him and personally helped the concubine up. "Why is the concubine here?"

"Lonely in the harem, I heard that there are great changes in the palace today, lest the court be uneasy, and the first emperor is restless, so I will help the emperor and stabilize the court to comfort the first emperor." Concubine Cheng put the talisman in front of the desk, swept her eyes over the ministers below, and said in a deep voice: "The family affairs of the Son of Heaven, do you also want to put too much beak?"

"The ministers don't dare." The ministers saluted the concubine, but they didn't dare to say anything more at this time.

"Although the crown prince was wrong, it did not cause a big disaster, and the heavy punishment is that if the prince is transposed, it will give the Heavenly Wolf Department and the Northern Dynasty a chance, and the gains outweigh the losses." Under the majesty of the concubine, the prince's party was encouraged and tried their best to plead for the prince, and for a while, the momentum of the court was turned upside down.

The Guangsheng Emperor ascended the throne Concubine Cheng has a merit, plus the military talisman on the case, most of the anger has disappeared for a while, not like the previous anger, but the angry prince is not angry, and said: "Today, the concubine intercedes for you, I will spare you, go back and be grounded for a year, read the ancestral family law well, if you dare to commit it again, I will not spare it!"

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Wei was pardoned, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move, but the queen ordered someone to take the prince back to the palace.

The holy decree has been issued, the overall situation has been decided, the ministers have withdrawn, and the Heng Wangfu has obtained Zhaoxue, and the Heng King has been crowned Prince Hengxian.
