Chapter 262: Disheartened (2)

Soon, the second prince, who received the news of his father's awakening, hurried from outside the palace in surprise, but as soon as he stepped into the palace door with both feet, he noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard was quietly glaring at him.

What's going on?

What does the Commander-in-Chief's expression mean?

The confused second prince didn't care about the hint that he would be in charge.

"Erchen ........."

"Rebel, kneel down for Lonely!"

Without waiting for the second prince to say a word of please, the angry King Weitou angrily ordered him to kneel.

"Father? What did your son do wrong, and you want your son to kneel? ”

"You're embarrassed to ask Gu what you did wrong, while Gu was in a coma, you put your mother and brother in the Criminal Department, what are your intentions?"

After a long time, it turned out that the reason for my father's anger was that they were the queen mother!

The second prince suddenly realized and explained: "Father has misunderstood, please listen to Erchen's explanation, Erchen imprisoned his mother and Songqi, not to listen to slander and wronged them. You are unconscious, you don't know how serious the situation was at that time, if your retainers ignore the evidence and do not act impartially, will it not be said that we are bending the law for personal gain? Therefore, the son has the courage to ask the queen mother to go to the criminal department, first, to avoid falling into the mouth of the tongue that we are covering up our own people, and second, to clear the suspicion as soon as possible and return the mother to a clean house! ”

After figuring out the reason, the Weitou King's face softened a little, raised his hand to signal him to get up, and continued to ask: "Since you are fully responsible for this matter, then you must have found out the real murderer behind the scenes after being in a coma for three days, right?" ”

The second prince investigated everyone involved in the matter, and found nothing, except for ......... Except for the vanished Imperial Dining Room Shangyi!

After the poisoning, Shang Yi, who cooperated with the queen to prepare a meal, disappeared inexplicably, and the second prince quickly sent someone to search the room where Shang Shi lived, and found that all the valuable things in the house were missing.

If you want to find the murderer, you must find Shang Yi who escaped out of the palace, the second prince ordered the guards to search the whole process, and increased the number of personnel to check the people out of the city, seeing that the days are passing day by day, and the well-known poisoning incident has not progressed, the second prince is puzzled, and even wonders if Shang Yi was killed, otherwise why did the world evaporate?

"Erchen......... Please ask my father to be lenient with his children for a few more days........."

"Abundance? Hmph, when you find the suspect, the murderer doesn't know where he has gone! ”

The captain snorted coldly, questioning his efficiency.

"Come on, bring someone in for Lone!"

Bringing someone?

Could it be my father......... Caught Shang Yi?

The second prince was surprised, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the door, where a disheveled woman was escorted in by the guards.

Shangyi, about fifty years old, is usually honest and abides by the palace rules, who would have thought that an old palace man who has been in the palace for many years has a bad idea and makes a big crime of murdering the king of a country, and tries to escape after the incident!

"Father, where is she hiding?"

The second prince was surprised, they searched all over the palace and the city, almost turned the entire capital upside down, mobilized a lot of manpower, and there was no news of her, and her father, who had just woken up for less than two hours, actually caught her!

"Although Lone is in a coma, it doesn't mean that the Praetorian Guards around Lone don't do anything."

The Praetorian Guards were directly loyal to the King of Weitou, and as soon as he had an accident, the Praetorian Guards immediately sent additional men to guard the palace and protect their loyal king from anyone taking the opportunity to usurp the throne, but the people who captured Shangyi were not actually his Janissaries, but the Yaku brothers recommended by Songqi.

Not long after he woke up, he received a letter from them and immediately sent someone to escort the suspect into the palace, as for why she framed Su Li and who instructed her, he would have time to interrogate him in the future.

"Holy ......... Slaves and maids see the Holy Lord! ”

Shang Yi, who was weak-hearted, didn't dare to look up at Long Yan directly, worried that a pair of captains would have stern eyes, so she didn't confess to herself and confided the truth.

She had been tortured and confessed to the Yaku brothers before she came, and now she was unconscious with ten fingers, and she knew that she would not escape death for such a great crime, and she did not want to live in the world, but only hoped that her family would be safe and sound.

"The slave and maid are guilty, ask the Holy Lord for extrajudicial mercy!"

"Bold and bold, you still have the face to ask for forgiveness from the Holy Lord, and immediately confess your crimes to the truth, if you hide and lie, I can't spare you!"

"The slave and maid know that they are guilty of great sins, and they dare not hide it, let alone lie and deceive the Holy Lord! Three days ago, the slave and maid got up early as usual to prepare for the night feast, and the fourth prince sent someone to find the slave and maid, saying that if the slave and maid did him a small favor, he would give the slave and maid a hundred taels of silver. The fourth prince said that the slave maid only needs to pour the medicine powder he gave into the grapes, and the rest is not to be cared for, the slave and the maid once boldly asked what the medicine powder is, whether it will eat the dead, the fourth prince comforted that the medicine powder is colorless and tasteless, and only causes people to fall into a coma for a short time, and will not hurt people's lives, the slave and maid thought that it was ......... Thought that the fourth prince was used to deal with ......... I never thought that he would actually poison you, the Holy Lord! If the slave knows the true purpose of the fourth prince, she will never dare to agree to his request and poison you! ”

Everyone in the palace knew that the fourth prince and Songqi were not on the right track, and when the fourth prince proposed a deal to her, Shang Yi guessed that he was likely to use it against the prince, so he deliberately reduced the dose to avoid accidents, but she never expected that her guess was wrong, and the target of the bold fourth prince was not the prince, but the king of a country!

The moment King Weitou fell, she panicked and looked at the fourth prince with a shocked expression, who only glanced at her calmly, with a nonchalant expression.

In an instant, she suddenly realized that the fourth prince could even do it to his father, not to mention that she was an ordinary palace person? I'm afraid that after he ordered his subordinates to succeed in the early days, he would secretly get rid of her and kill her!

In order to save her life, she hurriedly went back to the room to pack her belongings, gave some silver taels to dredge up with the palace guards, and then fled in a panic with her things.

It's a pity that she didn't have time to escape, and as soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, she was arrested, and then she was sent to the mansion of Lord Yushi to receive a series of tortures.

When she saw the money, she impulsively made a deal with the fourth prince, and in the end, not to mention the emptiness of people and money, she had to bear the pain of flesh and skin, she really, really regretted not being at the beginning!

"Is there anyone else involved besides the Fourth Prince?"

"The slave and maid only obeyed the instructions of the four princes throughout the whole process, as far as the slave and maid know, the poisoning plan was done by the four princes alone, as for whether others conspired with the four princes, the slave and maid are not very clear."

As early as the beginning of the assassination of the Songqi Hunting Ground, King Weitou was suspicious of the fourth prince, because the eldest prince insisted that he did it alone, and there was no conclusive evidence to prove that the fourth prince was also involved, he didn't want to wronged the wrong person, so he turned a blind eye and no longer pursued it.

His forgiveness was let go, and he did not return to the prodigal son of the fourth prince, this rebel son became more and more rampant, using him to frame Songqi, and he wanted Songqi to die!
