After rebirth, I became the favorite of the powerful ministers

Chapter 278

night.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, I really don't dare, please let me go, don't worry, after I go out, I will definitely not talk nonsense!"

Tang Chaochao, who was sitting in the innermost place, was dressed in black and looked extraordinarily cold and desolate.

"Don't you dare? If I hadn't caught you, the capital might be full of news about the prince's disappearance and death. Your mouth is really good at spreading rumors!"

The man tied up in the dungeon was full of panic and shook his head hastily.

"No, no, I didn't do it voluntarily."

Tang Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, "It wasn't voluntary? It wasn't voluntary. Could it be that someone forced you with a knife on your neck?"

The man couldn't stop trembling all over his body, "Prince Cheng, you have to believe me, I really didn't do it voluntarily. How dare I spread rumors about my lord."

"Do you dare to do it already? Do you think this princess will still believe your one-sided words."

The man shook his head vigorously, "No, really not, someone forced me! They gave me a lot of money and threatened me that if I didn't do what they did, they would kill my family. "

Tang Chaochao put his finger on his chin and his eyes blinked, "Really? You are afraid that they will hurt your family, but are you not afraid that I will kill your family? Between the two, do you believe in the former?" .”

"Please let me go, I won't do it again."

"It seems that you want to have a next time? A person is never a good person. Do you know how much trouble you have brought to the palace with this rumor you made?"

Tang Zhaozhao stood up casually, turned around and left the cell. When he walked to the door of the cell, he said softly: "You need to improve your lie, you can see through it at a glance, so you can take care of it so that he will remember it until he dies." The palace is not something he can provoke."

"Yes"

Tang Zhaozhao returned to the room with a dark face. He didn't take off his black clothes, and looked at the envelope that was delivered to her again.

His expression hasn't changed for the better.

"Is there anyone else who spread the rumor besides him?"

"The man hid it very deeply, but he was wearing a mask when he told the man."

Tang Zhaozhao laughed softly, "Wearing a mask means that his face is very recognizable. In the capital, who has the most recognizable face?"

"I did see one, but that person is a subordinate of the Jiang family, so it should have nothing to do with this matter."

Hongmei was a little uncertain.

Tang Chaochao tapped with his fingers, put the envelope into the stove and burned it.

"Continue to send more people out to find news about the prince. I am sure that nothing has happened. Even if something happened, I will have to see the dead body and see the people! A life is judged by just a word, I deny."

"Yes."

Tang Chaochao arrested all those who spread rumors, and soon, all the frequent rumors about Gu Ye disappeared.

Feng Jing in the palace was even more furious.

"Trash, rubbish! Can't you bunch of rubbish even do such a thing? Follow a person, and you can also track him down, and you can do it!"

The subordinate kneeling in front of Feng Jing obediently lowered his head.

"Is that man alive or dead?"

"If you go back to the emperor, King Cheng has already been seriously injured. If you don't get timely treatment, you will definitely die."

Feng Jing's eyes deepened, "Are you sure? There will be no accidents here, right?"

"Here, King Cheng has been poisoned. It stands to reason that if there is no antidote, he will undoubtedly die. The only one who can make an antidote is our own people, except for the divine doctors in the Divine Doctor Valley."

Only then did Feng Jing's expression soften, "That's good, since he is certain to die, then his funeral can be held in advance, and it can be regarded as the last kindness to him."

"It's just that Princess Cheng doesn't seem to believe that King Cheng has been killed."

When Tang Zhaozhao was mentioned, Feng Jing's expression was silent for a moment.

"Even if he doesn't believe it? There will be a day when she believes it. Besides, isn't this the truth?"

With her hands behind her back, Feng Jing squinted her eyes and looked not far away.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this matter, I will have a good talk with Princess Cheng."

"Yes."

.........

"Sister, why did you come to the Tang residence today? Grandma called you."

Tang Luoxue was full of surprises when she saw the approaching Tang Chao, after all her fifth sister seldom returned to the Tang residence.

She didn't have any good memories in the Tang Mansion, so why would she want to go back to the Tang Mansion?
"Grandfather asked me to talk about something, so I came here."

Tang Luoxue blinked, "Sister, you are really obedient, you are also a princess, you should let your grandfather find you."

Tang Zhaozhao snorted and laughed, "I think, but it's a pity that I don't have the ability, so I can only walk around by myself."

Tang Luoxue clicked her tongue twice, and muttered in a low voice: "This is still called incompetence, so what is ability?"

Tang Luoxue couldn't understand Tang Chaochao's words at all, but even so, Tang Luoxue still hugged him very affectionately.

"Sister, do you want me to go with you?"

Tang Chaochao shook his head, "No need, I'll go by myself, if you go..., I'm afraid you will be reprimanded by your grandfather."

Tang Luoxue: ...

Ah, it seems that she should stop messing around in front of her grandfather recently, so as not to be punished.

Tang Chaochao soon saw General Tang in the study.

"grandfather."

"coming."

Tang Chaochao stood opposite General Tang, the atmosphere in the study was a bit serious.

"Recently, news of King Cheng's death has been spreading everywhere in the capital. You know about it."

"I've heard about this incident, and I've arrested all the people who spread these messages. It's just a trick, grandfather, don't worry."

Tang Jiang frowned tightly, "I thought you should understand what I said."

"The granddaughter doesn't know, I ask my grandfather to tell me clearly."

"King Cheng really won't be able to come back this time. You also made plans earlier to arrange a good funeral for King Cheng, which can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of a princess."

Tang Chaochao: ...

"On this matter, I have a different opinion from my grandfather. I don't think something has happened to the prince, because I haven't seen the body, so I don't recognize it."

Tang Jiang snorted coldly, "Naively, if you don't admit a word, you don't recognize it? What happened to King Cheng, all the ministers in the court knew about it, and the emperor knew about it. Maybe it won't be long before the emperor will I decree that you hold a funeral for the king."

"Even if the emperor came, I would not just hold this inexplicable funeral for the prince. He is still alive, and nothing happened at all."

"It's unreasonable to make trouble. The news I got is the same. Even if King Cheng is alive, he won't be able to live!"
