The first morning light in the sky was sprinkled, and at the gate of the Yipin General's Mansion, Li Zhen walked into the mansion in a hurry, and two soldiers behind him followed in with a frail old man.

thought that he could take the den of the Yi clan in one breath and bring down Hao Hong, but who knew that when his soldiers rushed in, the building was already empty, and only an old man who swept the floor was left.

From beginning to end, the old man just shook his head and flatly denied that he was a remnant of the Yi clan, saying that he didn't know anything.

If you want to know it, since the remnants of the Yi clan learned in advance that he was about to encircle and suppress them, how could they leave any traces, let alone a big living person.

"Lock it up first!"

After giving the order, Li Zhen entered his study, but as soon as he entered the room, he felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly looked at the bookshelves in the room, and found that the bookshelves had been moved.

A few big strides over, flicked the mechanism on the bookshelf, opened the dark compartment behind the bookshelf, and his heart sank.

The dark grid was long gone, and the black wooden box containing Hao Hong's incriminating evidence was gone.

"Bang!"

Li Zhen slammed his fist on the bookshelf, the bookshelf shattered, and the books were scattered all over the ground.

"Hao Hong!"

Resentment and anger burned in my heart, and my fists and teeth trembled.

He strode out of the study and ordered the soldiers outside: "Immediately escort this old man to the Criminal Investigation Division!" ”

Under the heavy punishment of the Criminal Prosecutor's Division, the old man, who had resisted death and refused to admit that he was the remnant of the Yi clan, suddenly changed his words, and the court trial began.

Surprisingly, the person the old man identified as colluding with the Yi clan was not Prime Minister Hao Hong, but his Li Zhen.

The old man said that he often saw Li Zhen disguised himself in and out of the courtyard where the Yi tribe was hiding, and sent troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yi tribe in order to kill people and blame others.

The words are conclusive, and there is no room for refutation.

At the same time, Prime Minister Hao Hong presented the long-collected evidence of Li Zhen's alliance with the emperor for personal gain, and Li Zhen was imprisoned.

Hao Wuxuan watched Li Zhen, who was wearing shackles and shackles, being escorted by the jailers in the direction of death row, not knowing what was happening.

"In just one day, King Xi was imprisoned, and Li Zhen, who surrounded and suppressed King Xi's rebels, was also imprisoned, what is the situation?" She muttered to herself.

There was always a faint uneasiness in her heart, she couldn't figure out what was happening in the imperial city of the Nansheng Empire now.

I can only ask Chu Ye when the matter is over.

Li Zhen was imprisoned here, but the emperor in the palace was singing and dancing to welcome the visit of King Yun Lizhong.

In the palatial palace, the dancers are as thin as cicada wings, dancing beautifully, and the silk and bamboo drums are happy to rise in bursts of luxurious and extravagant tunes. The emperor sat on the high dragon chair and drank a drink with Lizhong, exchanging polite words.

All the princes and princesses attended this banquet, and in addition, there were some important ministers of the court headed by Prime Minister Hao Hong.

Five Kings Chu Yao stared at Li Yue, who was sitting next to Li Zhong, and saw a sweet smile on her face, and he couldn't help laughing.

Li Yue's clear big eyes looked at him without warning, and Chu Yao, who was smiling stupidly, couldn't help but froze, choking on a mouthful of wine in his throat, almost squirting out of his nose.

Diametrically opposed to Chu Yao's state of mind is Chu Ye.

From the time the emperor woke up to the present, he has not found a chance to meet the emperor alone, and at this time, seeing that the emperor is tired, it is estimated that he will soon be unable to support it.

When his gaze fell on the attendants waiting for the emperor, his eyes changed slightly.

The princes and ministers toasted to Lizhong one after another, and Chu Jin saw that the emperor was physically exhausted, so he put down the wine bottle and walked on the golden lacquer platform to salute, and said something, and the inner servants beside the emperor helped the emperor up and walked out of the hall from behind.

Chu Jin walked in front of Li Zhong and said that some emperors have been feeling hot and unwell recently, and they hope to forgive him, seeing that Chu Ye was about to leave the table and go out, he hurriedly stopped his way and said: "Fourth brother, my father has been in poor health recently, and the imperial doctor said that you must not work hard and hurt your body, so it is better to wait for your father to rest a little." ”

Chu Ye glanced at him with his arm open, his eyes seemed to be full of something, but it seemed to be nothing, he turned his head and stepped out of the palace gate.

However, when he came to the gate of the Wufu Palace, the emperor had already taken his stay.

He instructed Yu Jing, who was waiting at the gate of the palace, to make some food in the palace kitchen and send it to Hao Wuxuan, while he continued to wait outside the palace for the emperor to wake up.

However, after waiting for a day and a night, he did not wait for the emperor to wake up, but waited for the emperor's condition to deteriorate.

The chamberlain rushed to the doctor's office in a panic, but the first to arrive was not the imperial doctor, but Chongwang Chu Jin.

The imperial doctor came, the queen and the queen mother also rushed over, the emperor vomited blood, and there was chaos in the palace.

Since learning the news of King Xi's imprisonment last night, the queen has not slept all night, and like Chu Ye, she is waiting for the opportunity to meet the emperor, at this time she is already yellow and haggard.

The palace people went in and out to rub the emperor's blood, boil water, decoction and serve medicine, and after being busy for a long time, the emperor's condition finally stabilized, he opened his eyes weakly and glanced at everyone in front of the dragon bed, and slowly closed it. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

After coming out of the Wufu Palace, Chu Ye was worried all the way, and Chu Yao caught up with him in a few big strides, and said, "Fourth brother, I heard that my sister-in-law is ...... Imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Prosecutor's Division? ”

Glancing at him, Chu Ye stopped his steps with a solemn expression.

"I would never believe that my sister-in-law would collude with my second brother!" Chu Yao felt anxious for Hao Wuxuan in his heart, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It's Li Zhen." Chu Ye said.

"Li Zhen?" Chu Yao was slightly surprised.

"To be precise, Li Zhen and Li Jin'er, your sister-in-law fell for their tricks, thinking that the king asked her to have something important to do in Shuierzhuang, so she went."

"Huh?"

Chu Ye's eyebrows tightened, "I wanted Li Jin'er to come out to testify, but I didn't want her to go crazy overnight." ”

"Crazy?" Li Zhen felt incredible, "Isn't there still Li Zhen?" ”

Thinking of this, Chu Ye shook his head thoughtfully, "Father is very sick. ”

"I think so." Chu Yao said with a low expression, "When my father scolded me a few days ago, that spiritual leader was enough, but I didn't expect that after only a few days of hard work, I would fall ill like a mountain. ”

"You're making your father angry again?" Chu Ye said.

Chu Yao pursed his lips, took a deep breath and said: "Isn't my father always like to compare me with the fourth brother, saying that I don't know how to improve, and I am immersed in drunkenness all day long and don't know that the trouble is coming, saying that I was born in the royal family, if I can't find an independent way to survive in the deceit, and blindly rely on the protection of others, I will only fall victim to the imperial power in the end, just like the second brother." He also said that if I encounter something that threatens my life in the future, I must go to you, fourth brother. I said that the third brother is no worse than the fourth brother, and I can go to the third brother, but my father said......"

Seeing that Chu Yao's expression suddenly changed, Chu Ye also listened more seriously, "What to say?" ”

Chu Yao said: "He said, I would rather seek a tiger than a yellow finch as a confidant, sometimes, the yellow finch is more terrible than the tiger." ”
