Donggong Zhangjiao

Hearing Pei Yao's words, the third princess raised her head, her eyes became sharper, and she approached step by step.

"As a princess, I shouldn't talk about these things, but these things are state affairs and family affairs, so I have to say one more thing. Now my mother is grounded, and the emperor's brother is accused of murdering the prince. He is also grounded to accept The Ministry of Punishment has not yet come out with the results of the review, but the father suddenly fell ill and passed out, this is a bit too coincidental."

Walking to the front and back of Pei Yao, he turned his gaze to Dao, who stood not far away from the clan, royal family and court ministers.

"May I ask you all, murdering the crown prince is a serious crime, so is murdering the emperor a huge crime?"

When these words came out, the crowd immediately changed their colors.

Concubine Chen Guifei frowned, "Third Princess, don't speak nonsense. The Emperor fainted by accident. He will naturally wake up after the imperial doctor treats him. At that time, if the Princess has anything to say, I will tell the Emperor."

The queen is not here, as a noble concubine, Chen Guifei still has weight at this moment.

However, this weight only exists in other people's hearts. For the third princess, as the princess of the first line, she didn't take Chen Guifei seriously at all.

So she just gave Chen Guifei a sideways look, and continued.

"I'm not talking nonsense, but I have evidence. Father has been taking Huanyan Pill, and the dragon's body is healthy. But since King Ming was grounded, the two priests in the palace made another Yujin Pill and gave it to him. The Dan is better than the previous Huanyan Pill, but I happened to hear these two priests say that as long as they offer this pill to the emperor, they will be rich and prosperous, I dare to ask the crown prince, what does this mean!"

She pressed her to ask, but Pei Yao still looked calm.

"Gu never believed in Taoist ghosts and gods, but only respected the ancestors. After all, these two Taoist priests were recommended by King Ming to the emperor's uncle. Now the third princess associates them with Gu, which is too reluctant."

"Whether I have slandered the prince, you can ask the imperial physician to find out."

The third princess raised her pointed chin with a confident look.

He turned around and looked at the doctor.

"Father's qi and blood stasis, how did it cause it?"

"Back to the princess, yes."

The imperial physician hesitated to speak, and after glancing at Pei Yao, he kowtowed.

"It should be caused by this Royal Golden Pill. I found a medicine that can damage the dragon's body in this medicine. When you first take this medicine, it will make people excited, so it can show the illusion of strengthening the body. But as long as you take it for more than three Within four days, it will cause blood stasis, coma, and even limb paralysis!"

Hearing what the imperial physician said, among the concubines, those who stood in the queen's camp immediately spoke up.

"It turned out to be the result of the elixir, hurry up and arrest those two monsters for interrogation!"

Some ministers present who supported King Ming immediately seized the opportunity and joined forces.

Pei Yao's face turned gloomy and cold, and he glanced at the third princess, seeming to have murderous intent.

Having never been threatened by such gazes before, the third princess still felt a bit thumped in her heart, but thinking of the advice from her mother and the emperor's brother, she clenched her fists again and straightened her back.

Hold on a little longer, it will be soon.

"Come on, bring those two Taoist priests for interrogation!" Pei Yao shouted.

Hong Zheng immediately greeted people and left quickly.

At this time, Emperor Chengjing was in a coma, and the three princesses in the palace confronted Pei Yao, even going so far as to use pills to murder the emperor.

Not long after, the two old Taoists were escorted over.

The third princess seemed to be impatient, and immediately questioned the person sternly.

"Tell me, you tampered with the elixir presented to the emperor, who ordered you to do it!"

"I am wronged, princess, how could the poor Taoist offer the poisonous elixir to the emperor, this is wronged"

"Don't cry out for injustice!" The third princess interrupted them directly, her beautiful eyes frowned, "If you refuse to tell the truth, today is not only your death day, but also the hundreds of people in your whole Taoist temple, and none of them will be spared. Think it over for me before you talk!"

Looking at the appearance of the third princess interrogating the priest at this moment, she was also a little clever and noticed that something was wrong.

But I couldn't tell what was wrong in my heart, and I didn't dare to intervene indiscriminately, so I could only restrain my temper and watch.

But I didn't expect that the two old Taoists seemed to be frightened, and they said what the prince ordered.

Surprised, many of the people present involuntarily stepped back, as if they were afraid of being involved in the vortex of this political struggle.

But the third princess only looked at the guard at the door and shouted loudly.

"You have all heard that the crown prince instigated two demons to murder the emperor, so hurry up and arrest them immediately!"

"Who dares!"

Pei Yao also gave a cold shout, and the chill in his eyes made people afraid to go forward.

The third princess pursed her lips and confronted him.

"Personal evidence and material evidence are all there, why do you still want to quibble, you said that my emperor brother murdered you, I am afraid it was maliciously framed, just to take the opportunity to trap my emperor brother, and take advantage of my mother's embarrassment, so you showed your wolf ambition , intending to murder my royal father and seize the throne!"

"What a joke!" Lu Chuan couldn't help retorting in the crowd, "His Royal Highness is the heir apparent, inheriting the throne is in accordance with the will of God and the rules of the ancestors, and it is the will of the late emperor. Why bother!"

And when his words fell, before the third princess could refute, Empress Li's voice came from the gate of the main hall.

"The crown prince framed King Ming and murdered the emperor. The evidence is conclusive. You dare to argue for him. The Imperial Forest Army, why don't I quickly take down these traitors!"

Following Queen Li's voice, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the door.

In the meantime, Empress Li was wearing a phoenix robe, striding forward with domineering momentum, without the slightest sign of being grounded and sluggish.

And those imperial guards really listened to her orders, went straight into the hall, and surrounded Pei Yao.

Looking at this scene, a smile appeared on Pei Yao's lips, as if he had expected it to be so.

"Why, the queen empress wants to launch a palace coup, and the conspiracy to usurp the throne will fail!"

"The crown prince murdered the emperor. As the empress of the middle palace, I naturally have the responsibility to clean up the emperor and eliminate the traitors!"

Empress Li and the three princesses stood side by side, the mother and daughter had the same arrogance on their faces.

And Pei Yao looked at the surrounding imperial forest army not only not afraid, but the smile on his face grew wider.

After looking around, he took out three envelopes from his pocket and held them up.

"Coincidentally, Gu came here today, and he is also on the side of the Qing emperor. In addition to rebels, the criminal minister Ming Wang Pei Zecheng failed to murder Gu, and he was born with the heart of rebellion. He secretly contacted the queen, poisoned the emperor with pills, and blamed Gu, intending to usurp the throne." , these three secret letters are all evidence!"

Seeing the things in Pei Yao's hands, Empress Li inevitably changed her expression.

But thinking of the secret letter that he had obtained in his own hand, he felt that it should be Pei Yao defrauding her.

What's more, the matter has come to this point, no matter what, killing Pei Yao is the right thing to do.

So Queen Li sneered immediately.

"When you are about to die, you still want to quibble, frame others, come here, and win the crown prince for me!"

After speaking, he raised his hand high and made a gesture of commanding forward.

And at this moment, the crisp sound of sharp blades piercing the sky was suddenly heard, followed by Queen Li's sudden cry of pain.

In the blink of an eye, a black-feathered arrow came from outside the hall and shot through Queen Li's palm.

The pain distorted Empress Li's face, and she couldn't care less about the pain at the moment, she immediately turned to look outside the hall, her pupils shrank suddenly.

And following her gaze, it was Hu Daixu leading the troops of the Jingdu Guard, escorting the embarrassed King Ming, who was wearing armor, and came towards the main hall.
