Jiang Xiuming, that is, Taifu, was pushed into the imperial study with five flowers. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yuquan and Su Bingcang were also brought over. The emperor sat behind the table, looked at the old man who was kneeling on the ground, his face was wrinkled, and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Taifu knelt on the ground, leaning on his old body, his eyes were dead. He opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't say anything.

admit that he is a dead end, not only that, but their entire Jiang family's nine clans will be executed. Don't admit it, the human and material evidence has been placed in front of him, and it is useless for him to quibble.

But man has the instinct to survive, and he doesn't want to die.

At this moment, a little eunuch came in from outside and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Min and the eldest prince are here." ”

The Emperor's face became even more gloomy, "Let them in." ”

The little eunuch went out, and after a while, the prince and Concubine Min came in in a hurry. The two knelt in front of the emperor's table, and before the emperor could speak, Concubine Min turned her head to look at the Taifu and said with tears streaming down her face: "Father, how can you do such a rebellious thing?" Where do you leave your daughter with this? Where is the scenery industry? ”

The questioned Taifu: "......."

Emperor: "......."

Xiao Huai picked up the tea in his hand, took a sip with interest, and then frowned. Before the rain, the tea is good tea, but the water used to make this tea is too ordinary. But the scene in front of me is very exciting.

Here, the eldest prince fell to the ground and cried: "Father, the son really doesn't know about him... He did this kind of rebellious thing. Father, son... Erchen has never thought about it! ”

The eldest prince was really scared this time, he had always thought that as long as there was Taifu and as long as the Jiang family was there, this throne would be his. Now he knew that he was too arrogant before, and he believed too much in the strength of Taifu and the Jiang family.

The emperor looked at his woman and son, and watched them open their eyes and talk nonsense, and he was almost angry. What about when he's a fool? He looked at Taifu, "What do you say?" ”

Taifu was dead silent in his eyes at the moment, he knew that he was dead, but he didn't expect that his own daughter and grandson would put all the responsibility on him in front of him.

But no matter how angry he is, he also knows that he has borne everything alone, which is the best solution.

Closing his eyes, he said, "It's all done by the minister." There is no son in the middle palace, and the eldest prince is the eldest son, and he should be the prince, but the emperor is unwilling to make him the crown prince, and the minister can only take risks. But all this was done by the ministers alone, hoping that the emperor would spare the ministers' clansmen. ”

After saying that, he fell to the ground and wept bitterly. And the eldest prince and Concubine Min both breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor squinted at the two of them, and then at Xiao Huai, who was sitting there slowly sipping tea. The posture was leisurely and wanton, and at this moment he seemed to see another person, which made his expression feel in a trance for a moment.

Retracting his gaze, he looked back at the three people kneeling below, not knowing what to do with it for a while. I just killed a son, do I want to kill another son? Although they are stupid, they are all their own sons!

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in, approached the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Li Yushi asks to see you." ”

The Emperor frowned, "No." ”

After hearing this, the little eunuch hurriedly withdrew, and after a while, he came back again, looking at the impatient emperor, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, Li Yushi said that there is something important to ask to see, and it is about the eldest prince and Concubine Min. ”

The Emperor's brow furrowed into a pimple, "Let him in." ”

The little eunuch withdrew, and the eldest prince and Concubine Min were worried in their hearts, they didn't know what this Li Yushi was going to say to the emperor.

After a while, Li Yushi came in with square steps, he first saluted the emperor, and then bowed to Xiao Huai, "Dingguo Gong." ”

Xiao Huai bowed his head to him, and Li Yushi also nodded at him, and then took out a fold and presented it, saying: "The minister went home from the court a few days ago, and someone stopped the minister's palanquin on the road, saying that he wanted to surrender. The minister took the man back to the palace for careful questioning, and then learned of a shocking event. This matter is very important, and the minister did not dare to listen to it and believe it, so he conducted an investigation and collected evidence, which was the evidence found by the minister. ”

Li Yushi took out another stack of materials and handed it to the emperor.

And the emperor, who had already watched the recital and knew everything, had his hands shaking a little. He took the evidence presented by Li Yushi again, opened it and looked through them one by one, then grabbed the folds that Li Yushi had submitted before, threw them on Concubine Min's face, and shouted: "I really underestimate you, you femme fatale." ”

Concubine Min looked panicked, and hurriedly picked up the music on the ground to look at it, just one glance at her brain buzzed, and then hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, it's not a concubine, it's not a concubine, it's someone who wants to harm the concubine!" ”

"You're still quibbling!" The emperor got up and walked up to Concubine Min, and threw the evidence presented by Li Yushi in her face, "Then look at how your cousin cheated to death, how he bought the fake identity made by others, and how he entered the palace as a guard." Is this item all fake? ”

The more the emperor spoke, the angrier he became, and he only felt that he was green all over his body. Raising his leg and kicking Concubine Min in the chest, he asked angrily, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Concubine Min fell to the ground crying, not knowing whether it was pain or fear. The emperor turned his head to look at the eldest prince who was kneeling on the side and had an inexplicable face, with eyes, nose, and mouth....

The Emperor carefully looked at his whole body, and found that there was not a trace of himself. Seeing him like this, Concubine Min cried and crawled to the emperor, grabbed the corner of his robe and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, someone wants to harm the concubine and the eldest prince." ”

Saying that, she turned her head to look at Xiao Huai, and said: "As soon as the Duke of Dingguo returned to the court today, he challenged my father, and now Li Yushi slandered the concubines, the emperor, everyone knows that the relationship between Li Yushi and Tang Guogong is irreversible, and it is they who join forces to harm the concubines and the eldest prince." ”

Concubine Min grabbed the corner of the emperor's robe and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, think about it. You are left with the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, why do they want to get rid of the eldest prince? They just want the emperor, your sons will die one by one, your majesty. ”

The emperor listened to her words, the expression on his face was cloudy, Li Yushi frowned when he saw this, he didn't expect Concubine Min to be so messy, and he didn't expect that the emperor seemed to believe his words.

At this time, Xiao Huai, who had been sitting on the side and drinking tea leisurely, got up and took two steps forward, bent down to pick up the folds on the ground, looked at it twice, and raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to see such a good show today.

Closing the recital, he said: "Whether Concubine Min is innocent or not is very proven." ”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "How to prove it?" ”

Xiao Huai sneered in his heart, but said without any expression on his face: "Drop blood for relatives!" ”
