Chapter 387
King An’s voice echoed endlessly in the Golden Palace
The Emperor’s color, which had already loosened up, tightened up and became gloomy again
His eyes swept over King Yan’s face
By this time, King Yan was saying that it was useless to say any more
An Wang said with a nose and eyes, no one could not believe it!
The Emperor finally gave a command
Immediately there will be imperial guards led to go to Li Shufei’s chambers, before and after only a tea time, the guards will hold a stack of letters to come
The emperor once again looked through the letters, face gloomy, such as a rainstorm will come
Those letters, indeed, were all written by An Wang himself
The content on each reply letter matched the previous ones
This could never have been forged by King An alone!Father, every word my son said is true”
King An’s cries rang out again, “My son’s sins are so deep that I would not have had the face to come and see Father
However, I am really unwilling to take the blame for King Yan
All of this was obviously done by him secretly instructing me
As a result, the assassination was not accomplished, but even involved Mother Consort’s life”In these past half a year, my son has not been able to sleep well for a single day
As soon as I close my eyes, I see Mother Concubine lying on the ground covered in blood, dying in peace!”I beg Father to spare my son’s life, even if it means lifelong house arrest in the mansion, never leaving the mansion for the rest of my life
I have no complaints whatsoever
I only beg Father Emperor to spare my son’s life!”
While saying this, he cried and kowtowed for mercy
Yan Wang’s heart was like an ice cellar, instantly realizing
This was a trap set by the Imperial Great-grandson long ago
Between him and King An, there was never any correspondence, and all the conspiracies relied on the secret guards to pass on messages
Now the king of An bite the two have letters to and from, not only has his “letter”, even the “reply” now also have
This pot of premeditated dirty water, splashed him almost helpless
In the end, the content of this letter was not unjust
In the end, the content of the letter is not unjust, but it is just the conspiracy between him and King An written on the letter paper!
The civil and military officials, who had been silent for half a day, looked at each other in dismay, and someone finally came forward to speakYour Majesty, this matter is intricate and complicated, in the end how the truth is, but also carefully investigate before making a decision”
The official who spoke, seemingly unbiased, was in fact interceding for Yan Wang
The Minister of Justice also stepped forward, “In my humble opinion, before the truth is found out, both His Majesty King An and His Majesty King Yan should not return to their homes
They should be imprisoned into the Zongrenfu first”
The Minister of Justice was from the Crown Prince’s faction
To righteously petition at this time was truly brilliant
As long as King Yan was imprisoned into the Sovereign’s Palace, he would never be free again
Nor could he meddle in outside matters
Empress Xu is already an invalid, and Princess Changping is locked up in Ciyunan and cannot come out
There were only a handful of people left who could truly contribute to the Yan King’s errands, and it wasn’t difficult to cope with them
Going in was easy, wanting to come out again would be difficult
Yan Wang’s face changed, was about to speak, just heard the emperor coldly said: “The proposal of the Secretary of love is very much to my liking
Come on people, will An Wang Yan Wang immediately sent to the Zongrenfu, thoroughly investigate Yan Wangfu”
King Yan had no chance to defend himself, and was quickly escorted down
Seeing the Emperor’s ugly expression, the Crown Prince whispered in a consoling voice, “The truth of the matter is still unclear, it is not convenient to come to a conclusion now
Please calm your anger and take care of your body!”
The truth is still unclear?
The Emperor tugged at the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating manner
They were all his sons, no matter who was the mastermind and who was the accomplice, they all wanted the throne
Even go so far as to bear the infamy of patricide!
Was King An planting the evidence to frame him?
Or had King Yan been hoodwinking him all along?
This question was excruciating to think about even slightly!
The Emperor closed his eyes, quickly opened them again, and instructed the Imperial Grandson: “You personally caught King An, and you have read all these letters
The next thing, I will leave it all to you
Make sure to find out the truth in the shortest time possible”
Huang Taisun led the order with a solemn expression, “Yes!
Grandson will definitely live up to Imperial Grandfather’s expectations!”Retire from the court!”
The Emperor could not hold on any longer and waved his hand breathlessly
The crown prince immediately assisted the emperor’s arm, and the imperial taisun got up to assist the other side, shouting with concern, “Imperial grandfather, are you alright!”
Fortunately, there was still the stalwart crown prince and the shrewd and capable eldest grandson
The Emperor whispered, “Help me back”
In just half a day, King An and King Yan were imprisoned in the Palace of Patriarchs
News from the palace had always been the fastest to spread
But in just two hours, this sensational news had spread to everyone
Ling Jingshu also froze when she found out, ”Xin Yun, what are you saying?
How could King Yan be imprisoned in the Sovereign’s Palace along with King An?”
Noble Consort Wei was also shocked, “How could there suddenly be such a change of heart?
What exactly happened?”
Xin Yun smiled bitterly, “The slave girl just heard it from a chamberlain as well
Today at the court, His Highness Taisun took out a pile of letters, saying that King Yan had written King An’s letter
It was King Yan who was the mastermind behind the assassination at the Row Palace”Later, King An was brought to the Golden Palace to confront King Yan
I heard that there were also imperial guards who went to the deceased Consort Li Shufei’s chambers and took a pile of letters from somewhere”Then, both King An and King Yan were sent to the Sovereign’s Palace to be imprisoned”
Noble Consort Wei and Ling Jingshu glanced at each other, both seeing a hint of leaping joy in each other’s eyes
This was really good news for the people!
One could only hope that the Imperial Great-grandson would utilize this matter to bring down Yan Wang in one fell swoop, completely getting rid of this trouble in his heartAfter such an incident, the Emperor must be very angry and sad right now”
Ling Jingshu suggested in a low voice, “Your Highness might as well go to the Purple Palace to visit the Emperor”
For one thing, it would allow her to probe for more useful news
Secondly, this was also the time when the Emperor was at his weakest and saddest
A thoughtful comfort at such a time could have a much stronger effect than on weekdays
Noble Consort Wei gave Ling Jingshu an approving glance, “This proposal is extremely good
You and Xinyun should both go with the palace”
Ling Jingshu and Xinyun had long been accustomed to accompanying Noble Consort Wei in and out of the Purple Chen Palace, so they answered together
Ling Bo Hall was a distance away from the Purple Chen Hall, and Noble Consort Wei was in a hurry all the way there, quickly arriving at the Purple Chen Hall
As for the other concubines in the palace, when they heard this kind of amazing thing, they were so scared that their hands and feet were soft, fearing that they would get involved in the right and wrong, and they couldn’t wait to get away from the farther the better
As a result, the Purple Chen Palace was not lively, but instead seemed exceptionally silent and coldI have seen Your Highness”
Eunuch Ding personally welcomed out, leading Noble Consort Wei and her party inside while complaining in a low voice: “His Majesty was really angry at the court today
After he came back, he was so furious that he couldn’t suppress his heart fire, and he almost fainted due to his lack of physical strength
Imperial Doctor Wei has already given the Emperor first aid by applying needles
However, the emperor’s face is still very ugly
He didn’t take a drop of water at noon and refused to eat even if anyone advised him”Your Highness has come just in time
With Your Ladyship’s persuasion, perhaps the Emperor will be in a slightly better mood and be able to eat some meals”
