Chapter 69: Deception

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Li Mingyang, the commander of Jianguo Temple, was reporting to Emperor Zhu Song on the battle situation in Shuixiang Town.

Soon after Princess Jianyang quietly slipped out of the palace with a hundred guards, Zhu Song received the news.

He attached great importance to this matter, so he sent Li Mingyang to personally lead people to investigate to see what Princess Jianyang wanted to do, and at the same time protect Princess Jianyang's safety.

It can be said that even if Yu Hao does not appear in the end, the princess will not have any mistakes, because Li Mingyang has been secretly following Princess Jianyang.

I thought that Princess Jianyang was just sneaking out of the palace to play, but at this time, listening to Li Mingyang's report, Zhu Song's face became more and more gloomy.

When she heard that the first thing Princess Jianyang did after returning to the palace was to go to the East Palace to find the prince for help, she was even more angry and smashed the white jade teacup in her hand.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess ask to see you!"

At this moment, Feng Yulou's shrill voice came from outside the door.

"Hmph, let them in!"

The crown prince and Princess Jianyang hurriedly walked into the imperial study and knelt down in front of Zhu Song: "Erchen to see my father, may my father be auspicious and healthy, and live with the sky!" ”

"Flat."

Princess Jianyang got up slowly, lowered her head, and didn't even dare to look at Zhu Song.

The crown prince found the white jade fragments on the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Why did my father cause such a big fire?" It must be because of Yu Hao's traitor, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, although Zhu Song's face was expressionless, he was disappointed in his heart.

As the saying goes, knowing the son is better than the father, as soon as the prince opened his mouth, Zhu Song knew that he was going to impeach Yu Hao.

However, Zhu Song did not stop it, but asked quietly: "Why do you say that Yu Hao is a traitor?" ”

When the crown prince saw Li Mingyang, he knew that Zhu Song probably already knew about it, but this incident had just happened, and in addition to Princess Jianyang, only the county lord of Hailing and Shi Meng were left who had gone through the whole process, and he didn't think that Zhu Song could know the details of the whole thing.

Seeing Zhu Song ask like this at this time, he was even more convinced that Zhu Song was angry about Yu Hao's collusion with Lan Invincible to mobilize the Zhenguan Army.

You must know that the Zhenguan Army is Zhu Song's most trusted army except for the Imperial Forest Army, but now it has been transferred by Yu Hao privately, how can Zhu Song not be angry?

Thinking of this, the prince suddenly sneered in his heart, and hurriedly said: "That Yu Hao colluded with Wei Guogong Lan Invincible, privately mobilized the Zhenguan army in the name of suppressing bandits, and also dragged Princess Jianyang to go with him, causing the princess to be in danger, his heart can be punished, what is such a treacherous person who is not a traitor?" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Zhu Song looked very surprised.

"Father, Erchen is the crown prince, Jianyang's elder brother, he didn't take good care of Jianyang, so she almost lost her life at the hands of the gangsters, it was Erchen's dereliction of duty, Erchen is sorry for Jianyang." As the prince spoke, his eyes gradually turned red, and he looked at Princess Jianyang distressedly, tears sliding down his cheeks.

If other people were here, they would definitely be moved, but I didn't expect the prince to care so much about his sister, what a good and competent brother.

But Li Mingyang saw the prince's contrived appearance, his facial muscles kept twitching, and he almost didn't throw it up.

Seeing that Zhu Song didn't speak, the prince wiped his tears and continued: "Erchen is not worthy of being an elder brother, but Yu Hao, as the concubine of the great cadre and the husband of the princess, actually intended to murder the princess, and privately colluded with the minister to mobilize the army, such wolf ambitions, please punish Your Majesty severely!" ”

Zhu Song nodded thoughtfully and asked, "You are right, then how do you think I should punish Yu Hao?" ”

Hearing this, the prince was immediately overjoyed, it seemed that Zhu Song was really angry, and Yu Hao was doomed to death now.

"Back to my father, my sons think that the marriage contract between Yu Hao and Princess Jianyang should be canceled first, a villain like Yu Hao is not worthy of being a big colt at all!"

"Secondly, Yu Hao privately colluded with the minister and mobilized the army, which is the crime of rebellion, and he should be withdrawn from his title and beheaded all over the house! In addition, he picked up the princess, causing the princess to be in danger, intending to murder the princess, and the two crimes should be punished together, and his nine clans should be punished. ”

"In addition, Wei Guogong Lan is invincible and holds great power, but he colluded with Yu Hao and privately mobilized the Zhenguan army, which should be stripped of military power and beheaded all over the house!"

As soon as these words came out, Princess Jianyang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the prince suspiciously.

Didn't you say that you should take this opportunity to cancel your marriage contract with Yu Hao? Why did it rise to the Nine Clans of Yu Hao?

Even Zhu Song was shocked, and he had heard about Wei Guogong's refusal to win over the prince before.

But he didn't expect the prince to be so ruthless, not only to kill Yu Hao, but also to kill Wei Guogong Lan Invincible.

Zhu Song was a benevolent emperor, but the crown prince was so ruthless that even Zhu Song couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and a trace of killing intent flashed in Zhu Song's eyes.

"Jianyang, is what the prince said true? You are really out of the palace Yu Hao? Zhu Song looked at Jianyang and asked in a cold voice.

"Huh?" Princess Jianyang suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Back to my father, it was indeed Yu Hao who plucked me, he said that as long as I can exterminate the bandits and help him open the way for delivery, he will ask you to cancel my marriage contract with him, I just sneaked out of the palace quietly with my personal guards, I'm sorry father, I was wrong!" ”

Now, although she feels that it is inappropriate in her heart, she can only follow the prince's words.

The prince also hurriedly echoed: "Father, then Yu Hao must have wanted to kill Jianyang by the hands of the bandits, and then he would exterminate the bandits, and there was no proof of his death, he was afraid that he was not the opponent of the bandits, so he colluded with Wei Guogong and borrowed Wei Guogong's Zhenguan army, but he didn't expect Jianyang to have a big life and did not die in the hands of the bandits." ”

This is a statement he thought of in advance, although there are loopholes, but Jianyang testified to him, and he is not afraid that Zhu Song will not believe it.

Zhu Song ignored the prince, looked at Jianyang coldly, and continued to ask, "Where is Shi Meng?" ”

"Huh? Shi Mengshe ...... She's ...... She should be in Haoyue Manor, right? Princess Jianyang was shocked and buried her head lower.

"Then what is the matter with you asking the imperial doctor to go to the princess's mansion?" Zhu Song's face gradually became gloomy.

Hearing this, the prince "chuckled" in his heart, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

"I ...... I ......" Princess Jianyang panicked, and couldn't think of a good reason for a while, so she looked at the prince for help.

"I'm still lying to me!" Seeing Princess Jianyang's appearance, a trace of disappointment flashed in Zhu Song's eyes, "Did Yu Hao pick you up or Shi Meng let you go?" ”

Finished!

The prince suddenly turned pale with fright, thinking that relying on Princess Jianyang's testimony, Zhu Song would believe what he said, but he ignored the most important thing, although Princess Jianyang was rude and willful on weekdays, she was simple-minded and never lied.

At this time, Princess Jianyang swallowed and vomited, and she didn't dare to raise her head, it was too abnormal, with Zhu Song's understanding of her, how could she not see that Princess Jianyang was lying to him?

Thinking of this, it doesn't matter whether Zhu Song will punish Yu Hao or not, he and Princess Jianyang lied to deceive Zhu Song, Zhu Song will definitely not give up, he has to think about how to deal with it next.

Princess Jianyang would not have lied to people, but when Zhu Song asked her like this at this time, she was afraid that Zhu Song would be angry with Shi Meng, so she hurriedly raised her head and said: "I want to follow her, and I agreed to lend her soldiers, it has nothing to do with Sister Shi Meng!" ”
