Wang Gonggong raised his head, his gaze was biased towards Baili Yeqing, but his gaze was not at his angry face, but slightly shifted downward, staring at the eight-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his chest, where as long as one more claw was added, the meaning would be greatly different.

After shaking his head slightly, he continued: "At this moment, a man came up and paid the thousand taels of silver for the old slave. It wasn't until he walked out of the gambling house that the old slave knew that the person was the subordinate of the Fifth Highness. ”

Rong Xiu snorted lightly: "It was from this time that the two of you began to collude together?" ”

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, absolutely not!" At that time, the old slave wanted to return the silver taels to the Fifth Highness when he had saved enough silver, but after he had finally saved enough, the Fifth Highness said that he didn't want anything. It's just that he always asks the old slave for news through his subordinates. ”

Rong Xiu glanced at Baili Yeqing, and bowed slightly to the prince: "Well, what news have I asked you for?" ”

As soon as this question came out, the prince obviously shrank down, a little hesitant.

Baili Yeqing, who was escorted by the Praetorian Guards on the side, shouted even louder: "Nonsense! You old minion is just nonsense! You wait, wait for the main hall to take the head of the person surnamed Rong, and the second one will take your dog's head! ”

Probably forced by his momentum, the prince obviously flinched a little, trembling and lowering his head and not daring to speak.

Seeing this, Rong Xiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Princess, you have to think clearly before explaining!" I know everything about you clearly, and if you don't tell you honestly, I can still condemn you! In addition, you should not be afraid of the threat of some people, who is now unable to protect himself, and the threat to you is simply not countable. But you, if you don't tell the truth, I'll deal with you as a cover-up!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the prince hurriedly raised his head and looked at Rong Xiu begging for mercy: "The old slave confesses, the old slave confesses!" ”

Baili Yeqing's tongue was smoking, and he had already begun to abuse: "You dog!" is actually in the same league with this chaotic minister and thief, and the palace is wrong about you! What you are waiting for, when you are planted in the hands of this temple, you will definitely be allowed to survive and not to die! ”

This time, however, the threat did not work.

As if he had finally made up his mind to tell everything, he took a deep breath, his gray beard fluttering slightly as he took a deep breath.

"At the beginning, His Royal Highness the Fifth only sent people to understand the emperor's diet and daily routine. Later, it gradually developed into what the emperor approved every day. Sometimes he even asked the old slave to send him to see it before the emperor approved it. Not only did he grasp the contents of all the memorandaries of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but he also slightly tampered with some of the recitals of the ministers himself. Even if he participated in his own recital and presented it to the emperor, His Royal Highness Shi Wu would have to find a way to deal with the minister who wrote the recital! ”

Baili Yeqing's eyes were about to split, and he opened his mouth to argue.

However, one of the Praetorian Guards had already gagged him with a rag at the behest of Rong Xiu's eyes.

At this time, Baili Yeqing couldn't even speak, he stared at a pair of angry eyes, and struggled to protest with a "woo" sound from his mouth.

Rong Xiu tilted his head: "Fifth Highness, I'm sorry, in order to ensure that the prince is not threatened by you, and explain everything as it is, you can listen honestly for a while!" ”

When Baili Yeqing heard this, he became even more angry, and his chest rose and fell violently, but at this moment, he was escorted by the Praetorian Guards, and he couldn't move at all, and now, he couldn't even make a sound, so he could only be angry alone.

Seeing that the Fifth Highness had "become well-behaved", Rong Xiu put all his energy on the prince and asked, "So, you have been doing things for the Fifth Highness since that time?" ”

The prince nodded and shook his head again: "At the beginning, the old slave just wanted to repay the favor of the Fifth Highness, but after a long time, there has been too much news about him intentionally or unintentionally. The old slave had the heart to withdraw, but was threatened by the Fifth Highness, saying that if the old slave stopped doing it, he would tell the emperor about these things. Although the old slave didn't believe it, he had no choice but to be powerful and powerful, for fear that he would lose his life if he was not careful. This was the last resort to join forces with him, and later, gradually became an old slave to help him do things, and he gave the old slave benefits. ”

Rong Xiu listened, raised his head slightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the surrounding ministers of civil and military affairs, and then asked: "So, the previous things have been explained, now you can tell me, how did you murder the emperor!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the prince's body trembled like chaff. He subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but for a while he forgot that he was tied to the rope, and his big head was directly buckled to the ground, and he couldn't get up after arching for a long time.

Seeing this, Pan Shu impatiently stretched out a foot to reach his body, and glared: "What are you doing!" ”

The prince finally straightened up with his strength, and before he could raise his head, he opened his mouth and begged for mercy: "Little general, it's His Royal Highness, it's the old slave who instructed him!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Everyone's eyes swept around Rong Xiu, Baili Yeqing and Wang Gonggong in disbelief, and they didn't understand how the person who was pointing at others' noses and scolding people for being "chaotic ministers and thieves" half an hour ago suddenly became the mastermind behind the scenes.

Baili Yeqing struggled even more, as if he was ready to break free from the clamps of the Praetorian Guards and pounce on the prince.

However, he is weak at the moment, where is the opponent of those Praetorian Guards.

At that time, after the prince threw a flat thunder, he continued to say excitedly: "What the old slave said is true, and there is no falsehood!" When the emperor went to the garden to hunt before, the Fifth Highness arranged for assassins to sneak into the eunuchs and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others found it in time, and the assassin did not succeed in assassination. After the emperor was sent back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, His Royal Highness threatened the old slave with the evidence of his dealings with the old slave for so many years, and asked the old slave to give the emperor the final blow, otherwise he would have to pull the old slave as a cushion even if he died. also said that he is the queen mother's concubine, and even if something happens, the queen mother will always cover him. The old slave really had no choice, so he poisoned the emperor. ”

Speaking of this, he hurriedly bent his body and knelt down to Rong Xiu to beg for mercy: "The old slave was persecuted by His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness, not his intention, please ask the little general for mercy!" Thinking that the old slave has served us for hundreds of generations of emperors, let's leave a life for the old slave! ”

Rong Xiu's brows furrowed slightly: "Your situation, I think everyone is already very clear, but, due to the great involvement, the merits and demerits are not up to me Rong alone, you just wait and wait for the fall!" ”

When the prince heard this, Bai Huahua's eyebrows wrinkled, and deep remorse flashed in his eyes: "It's the old slave's fault, it's the old slave who is confused, the old slave is sorry for the emperor!" Sorry Berry! ”

Seeing this, Pan Shu lifted his whole person back, and shouted: "Okay, it's useless to talk more!" If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place! ”

After speaking, he waved his palm, pulled out the rag from Yan Haiyue's mouth, and said loudly: "Tell me honestly!" What's the matter with you? ”

Yan Haiyue looked at Pan Shu with disdain, her eyes fell on Rong Xiu again, and she smiled mockingly: "What else are you asking?" Aren't you already aware of that? It was His Royal Highness Fifth who found me and said that as long as I agreed to help him, I would frame the charge to His Royal Highness, and after the matter was completed, he would marry you Rong Xiu and me when he became the emperor. So, I agreed. However, I didn't kill the emperor, I just diverted other people's attention at that time. ”

After that, she looked at Yan Xiaoyu again, her eyes were cold: "I've recruited everything, are you satisfied?" ”

Yan Xiaoyan did not shy away from meeting her gaze, and said word by word: "These things you do keep saying are for Rong Xiu, but in fact they are just to satisfy your own selfish desires. As a sister, I have admonished you before, but you have not listened. Now, as a people in a hundred miles, please bear the consequences of what you have done. ”

Yan Haiyue smiled coldly: "Heh, to put it bluntly, if I die, you will be very happy!" ”

Yan Xiaoyan exhaled deeply, her brows stretched, but her heart was already wrinkled: "Why don't you understand?" It's not because of me, it's because of you. ”

She turned her eyes to the side, didn't look at her, and said lightly: "The state has national laws and family rules, if you commit a crime, you must be punished, don't always blame the fault on others!" She doesn't want to, and can't use sisterhood as an excuse, to continue to ignore her vexatiousness, and continue to indulge her obsession.

Anyway, the things explained by Wang Gonggong and Yan Haiyue have already made everyone present have some ideas in their hearts. The direction of public opinion has begun to change.

One person said softly: "That's it, it's not been a day or two that the Rong family has mastered the military power of our Baili Dynasty, how can it be possible to do such a thing of plotting to usurp the throne and kill people!" ”

The other chimed in: "That is, don't say anything else, the Rong family is all loyal, and when I heard the Fifth Highness talk about it before, I felt that something was wrong!" ”

Some people were skeptical about this, and said cautiously: "Who can say clearly about this big family?" Don't jump to the conclusion so early, let's see. ”

Rong Xiu quietly listened to all these people's words in his heart, and nodded his chin at Qingbai.

Qingbai understood, and hurriedly took out the cloth ball in Allure's mouth, and drank coldly: "Now that it's now, it's impossible for you to hide from the world!" Tell me everything you know! ”

Allure was originally a stunning woman, and the moment she was brought in by Qingbai, she attracted the attention of countless people.

However, at this time, when everyone came back to their senses, some ministers realized that the woman in front of them was actually the original favorite concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince! Many people have met intentionally or unintentionally when they went to the Prince's Mansion!

This surprise is not small, since it involves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness, everyone feels that this matter is related to the struggle for power between the princes. The suspicion of the opposite has been cleared again.

But what's going on here?

Things seem to be more complicated!
