Xiao Tiece said: "It's about my mother's reputation, and I ask the emperor to be cautious." The criminal minister was born in Mobei, and the prince was in the capital at that time, and he was still young, and he still lived in the palace. ”

The emperor thought about it, and it was indeed the case, so he did not continue the topic.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly sneered twice: "Xiao Tiece, you tell me honestly, do you know why I am angry with the prince?"

Xiao Tiece didn't answer immediately, he grabbed a word in the emperor's words - anger.

The emperor admitted that he deliberately made things difficult for the prince, because of something else to anger the prince?

Xiao Tiece said: "The sinner knows. The emperor listened to the slander and thought that the prince was greedy for ink......"

"Shut up!" the emperor interrupted him, "I don't want to hear that!, I ask you, did Deyong beside me tell you that I found the pen and ink left by the imperial concubine in the past?"

Xiao Tiece's heart sank - Deyong is an old eunuch by the emperor's side, and he has been serving by the emperor's side since he was in the palace.

The emperor now knows that they know about the imperial concubine's handwritten love poems and use them, and they suspect the people around him?

This matter cannot be admitted to death, otherwise the prince will be completely finished.

Xiao Tiece did do something tricky, he had already found an opportunity for the emperor to find other ink treasures of the imperial concubine according to the method that Ming Jiuniang said, proving that the imperial concubine had changed her mind later, and wanted to keep the emperor's heart, and was jealous because the emperor favored others.

This letter, he felt was too explicit, and it was easy to arouse the emperor's suspicion - people sitting in that position were inevitably suspicious. But then there was really no way, so I took a risk.

Xiao Tiece already understood that the emperor is coming now precisely because of this letter that appeared later.

The emperor was suspicious, but he couldn't completely judge it to be false, and he didn't want to see the prince, so he came to the prison to find out the truth from himself.

Thinking about this, Xiao Tiece knew that the future fate of the prince largely depended on his performance tonight, and he suddenly felt sweaty on his back.

"The guilty minister doesn't know what the emperor is saying. The imperial concubine has Mobao left, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be happy. Over the years, whenever the prince mentioned the imperial concubine, he had relatives in front of him, and often sighed that 'the son wants to raise but does not wait'. Every year on the death day of the imperial concubine, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fasting and grief-stricken. ”

The emperor sneered: "I shouldn't have asked you about the prince, you and him are fundamentally different." ”

Xiao Tiece bowed his head and remained silent.

It's too wrong to say more, and at this time, I'm too anxious to help the prince explain, I'm afraid it will arouse the emperor's suspicion.

The emperor said: "Deyong unfortunately drowned yesterday. ”

Xiao Tiece was taken aback, and then his heart was relieved again.

What is surprising is that even for the people who have served him for decades, the emperor did not have the slightest soft-heartedness, and executed him just because of suspicion;

"Don't think I don't know, you don't want to talk because you're afraid I'll catch the loophole. I'm not old yet!"

"The sinners don't dare. Xiao Tiece bowed his head and said.

At this time, only by doing his best to pretend to be an honest man and let the emperor be angry can he get life.

He already faintly felt that he was walking on a high-altitude rope, pulling the prince and others in his hands, and if he was careless, everyone would be crushed.

The emperor sneered again and again: "Do you think that if you don't say it, I won't know?

Xiao Tiece's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a panic: "It's nothing, it's all a letter written by a criminal minister to a cheap one." ”

"Xiao Tiece, do you really think I'm confused?"
