Plotting to usurp the throne has been a big crime since ancient times, and what the three princes have done is enough to pay a heavy price, even affecting the family members and related participants around them.

It's a pity that the three princes were dizzy for a while and made such a big mistake, so that the people around them also had to pay a heavy price, but the three princesses and others may not be innocent, and the blood on their hands may not be less.

This incident is thrilling, but the emperor is still tired of it, there is no true love in the royal family, killing each other in the face of interests, such a thing is very common, but in the end, when he is older, his heart is soft, and the emperor actually gave birth to the emotion of throwing everything away.

"The three princes deceived the monarch and committed great rebellion, the prince committed the same crime as the common people, such disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous people are not worthy of being in my royal family, and they will be deposed from the royal status and degraded to the common people, and sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. Relevant personnel will be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law, and there must be no favoritism, Zhang Aiqing, do you understand? ”

The emperor sat on the dragon chair in a bright yellow dragon robe, looking at the respectful courtiers below, he couldn't help but speak, quite lonely.

"The minister's decree will definitely make every effort to investigate this case." Xue Lan heard the emperor's words and immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, as a confidant cultivated by the emperor, he never participated in party struggles, and now he is in charge of the criminal department, and this matter falls on Xue Lan's body as a matter of course.

Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Xue Lan could be regarded as the in-law of the three princes, everyone knew the farce at the wedding, let alone getting married, it would be good if there was no feud. Regarding the emperor's mandate, the Manchu civil and military did not feel any objections.

"I have one more thing to announce today." When the Manchu Dynasty civil and military thought that this matter was over, the emperor suddenly spoke, and his voice was steady and unfluctuating.

"I have decided to abdicate from today to make way for Xian, and choose an auspicious day to make the three princes ascend the throne as emperors." The emperor calmly dropped a bombshell, and remained calm amid the persuasion of the Manchu civil and military.

"Do you want to drag me down and tie me to the throne for the rest of my life?" As soon as these words came out, the noisy court was silent, after all, no one could bear such a heavy burden, it was a great crime to be beheaded.

"The ministers don't dare." The courtiers below all knelt on the ground and trembled, only Xue Lan and the five princes stood out from the crowd, looking at each other and smiling, everything was silent.

"The fifth prince is very good, I have great confidence in him, and I hope that after my abdication, you Aiqing can assist the new emperor and create a prosperous world together." The emperor has long been familiar with such a thing as beating a stick to a sweet date, and he easily collected the loyalty of his courtiers.

The matter of the five princes ascending the throne as the emperor is a foregone conclusion, and the other princes dare not act rashly, after all, the fate of the three princes is there! They didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the three princes, and gradually accepted the facts.

Zhang Yurou was imprisoned in the prison after being arrested, and was locked in the cell where the third prince was by the evil-hearted Xue Lan, but she staged one good show after another. After a terrible beating, Zhang Yurou trembled, squatting in the corner of the wall with her hands and knees, her snow-white clothes had already covered the dust, her face and body were full of scars, bruises and purples were particularly terrifying, and the new injuries and old injuries formed a terrifying scene.

The sour eyes couldn't shed a single tear at all, Zhang Yurou's whole face was wrinkled into a ball because of pain and grievances, and the remorse in her heart spread to her whole mind, unconsciously recalling the original scene.

"You slut, if it weren't for your demagoguery, I would still be the third prince on top, no matter how bad I am, I would be a prince, where did I end up where I am now? Slut, I'm going to kill you. As soon as she was pushed into the cell, the third prince rushed up like a madman, grabbed her long hair and twisted her whole face into a ball.

The fists and feet kept falling on her body, again and again, how could Zhang Yurou, who had been pampered since childhood, stand such abuse, and immediately couldn't help crying, tears and snot flowed down her face, and she kept making a plea.

"Please, please let me go......" In addition to begging for mercy, Zhang Yurou couldn't do any resistance at all, the difference between men and women was too great, especially when the third prince was a martial artist and was angry, she had no room for resistance.

But her plea for mercy did not make the third prince angry, but instead stimulated the tyranny in his heart, and the strength in his hand became bigger and bigger. She once begged the jailer, but the other party didn't pay attention to her at all, and had no choice but to endure her, and this pain lasted for more than half a month, and she even thought about using death to relieve her.

But she didn't dare, she was timid, thinking of the pain and sadness of death, Zhang Yurou couldn't bear it again. There is hope in life, and as long as she is alive, she will still have a chance, Zhang Yurou comforted herself in her heart.

The sound of chains came, Zhang Yurou trembled even more, her head was buried deep in her knees, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to bury herself and be an invisible person.

"Third prince, sister, don't come unharmed!" The voice mixed with infinite laughter came, and Xue Lan walked in in a snow-white regular dress, as if it was a ray of sunlight, which was particularly conspicuous in the dim cell.

"Brother......" Zhang Yurou ran over with a roll, the corners of her mouth rose to reveal a big smile, and she shouted affectionately. If you ignore her unkempt image, it really has a taste of brother and sister affection.

"Presumptuous-" Before Xue Lan could speak, the jailer behind her scolded loudly, then kicked the person over, and said coldly, "Lord Zhang is a precious woman, where can you touch such a thing?" Slut, don't lose sight of your identity. ”

Zhang Yurou herself was covered with scars, and she didn't even have the strength to get up at this time, she just curled up and sobbed when she heard the words, but not a single tear flowed out, pitiful and pathetic.

After speaking, the jailer looked at Xue Lan flatteringly, like a pug pleasing to his master. Xue Lan smiled meaninglessly, then waved her hand to tell the jailer to step back, and the other party left immediately.

"Third prince, the emperor's verdict has been issued, and this official has specially come to inform you." Xue Lan looked at the three princes who were silent on the side with a smile, and spoke casually.

"What did Father say?" The third prince's face was silent, but his fists were clenched tightly together, which showed the unpeace in his heart.

The corners of Xue Lan's mouth hooked, such a little trick still wants to deceive her? What a young man! "Chop after the fall."

Hearing these four words, the third prince shook violently, and then gritted his teeth and pounced, "Impossible, my father won't treat me like this, it must be you and the fifth child who are obstructing me, I want to see my father-"

"Get out of the way—" Xue Lan snorted coldly, and the third prince immediately turned into a meteor and slammed into the wall.
