Chapter 226 Temptation
Wang Gonggong is the internal official of the hundred miles of dynasties, but he is a veteran. Usually loyal and kind to everyone, who would have imagined that he would do such a thing behind his back? was still ashamed to speak, as if eating and drinking water, he naturally spit out those words from his mouth.
Imagine a person who was kind to you just now, and actually turned his face and framed you, this world-like change, no one can easily accept it!
Yan Xiaowei bit her lip fiercely, staring at the scheming princess without blinking: "You also said that my sister is just an important suspect in the assassination of the emperor." However, there is no evidence to prove that she did the emperor's death! We were all together at the time, distracted by my sister's presence. At that time, you were always guarding the emperor. It seems that you were old and alone with the emperor at that time, and you were also an important suspect! β
"What's more", Yan Xiaoyi pulled the corners of her mouth coldly, her eyes swept over the wooden box containing the edict, and said in a deep voice: "Before, our people have seen you take out the edict from the wooden box and burn it with your hands, although the edict is not true, but your old actions are against the emperor's holy will and tampered with the edict!" I don't think I need to say it, you already know it very well, right? β
When the prince heard this, he snorted coldly in his nose: "Heh, I said that I burned the edict, what evidence do you have?" You say you saw it, and I say you framed it. Now all the people in this Heart Cultivation Hall are yours, so they will naturally help you speak! If you have a kind, call out all the civil and military officials and queens and princes who are up and down for a hundred miles, and let them judge it! At this time, his face was full of ugliness, and his eyes were staring at Yan Xiaoyun fiercely, as if he was ready to pounce and bite at any time, the whole thing was a scheming old fox!
Hearing that he had unconsciously changed the "old slave" in his mouth to "me", Yan Xiaowei smiled sarcastically, and categorically refused without thinking about it: "You are really cunning, we should have thought of it a long time ago, you always do this, there must be someone behind you!" If there is no one, no matter how bold you are, you will not think of tampering with the edict! β
As she spoke, she reached out and shook off the unwrapped edict that the prince had put in the wooden box, and said as she opened it: "I want to see who is behind your old man!" β
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to open the edict, however, on the tampered edict, the name of the third prince Baili Yechen was clearly written.
Although Rong Xiu, who was standing beside her, did not move, he had already seen the name on the edict clearly from his point of view. He subconsciously twisted his eyebrows, it stands to reason that the name written on the edict that the prince secretly dropped should be the person behind the curtain who bought him.
Then, does this mean that in fact, the third prince Baili Yechen wanted to be the emperor, so he colluded with the prince and ordered him to drop the edict, so as to hide it from the world?
Yan Xiaoyun on the side also frowned when he saw the name on the edict, which almost coincided with what Rong Xiu had in mind.
However, she thought it was strange. If the name on this edict, that is, the third prince Baili Yechen, was really the person behind what the prince did, how could the prince look at them calmly now?
The plan has been revealed, and it shouldn't be hysterically and vehemently denied, right? However, how could his expression not change much, as if he was acquiescing to everything that had happened here?
Yan Xiaowei suddenly thought of the relationship between Yan Haiyue and the third prince Baili Yechen, before, Yan Haiyue was suddenly with Baili Yechen, although I don't know what happened here, but the relationship between Yan Haiyue and Baili Yechen is undeniable.
The edict that the prince dropped the bag had the name of Baili Yechen written on it, and it was likely that he had been bought by Baili Yechen's people. And Yan Haiyue kept saying that she wanted to get engaged to Baili Yechen, that is, Baili Yechen's fiancΓ©e. Then, these two people do have the motive to assassinate the emperor and fight for the throne for Baili Yechen.
However, when you think about it, it is very strange.
First, the attitude of the prince was too calm, as if he was not surprised that they found the names of the three princes on the edict. Moreover, he, a person who has been in the palace all his life, actually did such a thing as secretly changing the edict with his own hands, and was discovered, no matter how you look at it, I don't think it should be!
Second, if Yan Haiyue really came to assassinate Baili Ying, then she must also be for the third prince. And the edict of the prince is also written in the name of the three princes, so to speak, both of them are helping the three princes to grab the throne. However, if this is really the case, why send out a prince, but send another Yan Haiyue? Assassinating the emperor and secretly exchanging the edict, these two things are easier to do and more convenient to do, shouldn't it be the prince? So, why did they send Yan Haiyue again?
If you really want to assassinate Baili Ying, then wouldn't it be more professional and proper to find a professional killer?
Why did you send Yan Haiyue into the palace to assassinate him?
What's more, why did Yan Haiyue do such a thing as assassinating the emperor?
Although she has some crooked thoughts, it is all because of Rong Xiu. However, she is not an ambitious and scheming person, and this assassination of the emperor is not something she can do!
Yan Xiaowei pondered and meditated, and felt that she should go to Yan Haiyue's side to have a look and ask her in person, so as to figure out why she would take the risk to do such a thing!
Thinking of this, Yan Xiaowei couldn't help but reach out and tug Rong Xiu's sleeve, Rong Xiu glanced back at her with heavy eyes, and said to Qingbai and the others on the side: "Take the prince down and take care of it strictly, and wait for the fate at any time!" β
The prince struggled twice, but was still taken down by the young general beside him.
In an instant, only Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaowei were left in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Yan Xiaowei pursed her lips: "Rong Xiu, I think things are definitely not that simple!" Although she and Rong Xiu pretended to quarrel and parted ways outside, in fact, it was to show a split appearance, so as to lure out the hidden people behind the assassination of the emperor. However, now although the prince has been successfully led out, there are still many doubts.
The so-called seeing is not necessarily the truth, Yan Xiaoyi's expression suddenly became solemn.
She hadn't finished her sentence yet, but Rong Xiu had already understood what she meant. One step ahead of her said: "I know what you have in mind, and I am also a little suspicious of the name on the edict after the bag is dropped." Although the third prince is very capable and unfathomable, as far as I know, he is not the kind of person who covets the throne. Of course, as the saying goes, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, I can't really know whether he has the intention of seizing the throne. It's just that as far as what I see and feel now, I'm afraid there is something else wrong with what Yan Haiyue and Wang Gonggong have done. We still need to think about it in the long run. β
Yan Xiaowei nodded: "I want to go to the prison to see Yan Haiyue and see what she says!" β
After that, the two took advantage of the cover of the night, dressed up casually, and the soldiers cautiously came to the prison in two ways.
Until near the prison, Yan Xiaowei suddenly remembered that the princess had given her a waist card before, saying that if she wanted to see Yan Haiyue, she could go to the prison to find a jailer named Huang Huaide.
Now that I think about it, I always feel a little strange, the prince just helped her introduce a person she knew at that time? Or is it actually related to his plan?
The jailer at the gate of the prison glanced at Yan Xiaoyi, who was alone in the night, and frowned: "I said, what are you from, where did you come from so late?" β
Yan Xiaowei was wearing a palace maid's outfit that she had brought casually at this time, and when she saw the jailer's vigilant look, she hurriedly blinked, took out a heavy silver ingot with white flowers from her cuffs, and stuffed it into the jailer's palm as if unintentionally, and said with a smile: "This eldest brother, the little girl is on an errand in the Wuwu Palace, can you please be accommodating and find your steward here, Lord Huang, to come out?" β
The jailer wrung his eyebrows and glanced at Yan Xiaoyin from top to bottom, looking reluctant, but after weighing the silver in his hand twice, he still said a little helplessly: "Originally, we sent a felony here today, and they need to be strictly guarded, and they are not allowed to contact outsiders." However, since you are a little woman who found here in this dark sky, I can't let you go back for nothing, can I? You wait, I'll help you call Lord Huang out. Stand here, don't just walk around! Otherwise, beware of being mistaken as a prison robber! β
Yan Xiaoyu hurriedly nodded obediently.
The man staggered in, and a short time later, a tall, thin man stood beside him. The man had a rakshasa face, frowning as he walked: "Who the hell is the person who actually found this place in the middle of the night?" β
The man who had just spoken to Yan Xiaowei smiled cautiously from the side: "Who knows, I heard that it is the little palace maid of the Wuwu Palace, and it must be someone sent by the imperial concubine." Even if it is not polite, please go over and take a look. The small one is really soft-spoken, and he can't afford to offend! β
Huang Huaide heard this, snorted coldly, and his face, which was already a little blue, became even more gloomy.
He strode up a few times, looked at Yan Xiaowei under the dim light, and frowned coldly: "You're looking for me?" β
Yan Xiaowei wasn't sure what the attributes of this person were, and she was tempted, so she was very cautious when she spoke.
She blessed Huang Huaide, took out the waist card that the princess had given her before from her waist, handed it to him, and said softly: "It was the prince who asked me to come to you!" β
After that, she carefully observed Huang Huaide's expression, not even missing a trace.
I saw that his brows were slightly twisted, his sharp gaze swept over Yan Xiaoyi, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Oh? The prince sent you? β
