Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 469 Assassin Duan Zixi? (2)
He slowly picked up another solitary copy, opened the cover, and looked at it casually: "Tao Te Ching? There are at least two copies in the palace. I read it over and over ten times, and I can almost memorize the content inside." Yes, this is also called an orphan copy.”

Duan Zixi's delicate voice was full of sarcasm, and he threw the lonely copy at Ye Chengxiang's feet.

Something flashed quickly in Prime Minister Ye's sharp eyes, and he slowly bent over to pick up the lonely copy: "His Royal Highness taught me that the old minister was negligent!" My heart is sour.

Duan Zixi snorted coldly in his heart, Prime Minister Ye's martial arts were similar to him, and his body was stronger than some young people, and he pretended to be pitiful, which was really hypocritical: "Prime Minister Ye, when you come to the palace to deliver books next time, remember to think about the meaning of the lonely copy, and carefully read it. Make sure to confirm whether it is really a lonely copy, otherwise, if you give away the books that everyone owns like today, you will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

There was undisguised sarcasm in his light and fluffy words, and Ye Chengxiang's face was gloomy, and he clenched his hands under his sleeves tightly. The brat, who was still young, dared to mock him. "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me, I have been educated."

Prime Minister Ye took the lonely copy and quietly fanned out a strong wind, blowing up Duan Zixi's sleeves: "Hey, when did His Royal Highness get the tattoo?"

The amiable voice pierced into his ears, the emperor put down the lonely copy, and looked at Duan Zixi's arm, on the white wrist, lay a very cute little red spider, the emperor's eyes widened suddenly, half a month ago, he was killed by an assassin During the assassination, the assassin's sleeve was pierced. On the assassin's wrist, there was such a red spider tattoo: "You...you are the assassin who assassinated me?"

"How is it possible?" Duan Zixi blurted out without thinking, "I am the son of the emperor, why should I assassinate the emperor?"

"Then what's the matter with your red spider?" The emperor asked sharply, his sharp eyes flashed with chills, he issued a reward order, and the entire capital was looking for the assassin, but unexpectedly, the assassin was dangling in front of his eyes every day to his own son.

"My son doesn't know..." When Duan Zixi took a shower and changed clothes just now, his wrist was still clean and there was nothing there. Why did a red spider appear all of a sudden?

Duan Zixi rubbed his wrist vigorously, the spider didn't stop rubbing off, but became more and more vivid, as if it was slowly growing out of his body.

The emperor looked at the clear little red spider and was furious: "Duan Zixi, the evidence is solid, you still dare to argue!"

"My son did not argue. On the night my father was assassinated, my son was imprisoned in a dark room by my father for stabbing Duan Zicong's arm. How could I assassinate my father?" Duan Zixi defended confidently.

The emperor was startled, remembering that he was assassinated two days after Duan Zixi was locked in the dark room, he really didn't have the conditions to assassinate him, he just asked, "What's the matter with that red spider on your wrist?"

Some unscrupulous people in the White Tiger Kingdom usually keep dark forces in captivity, and imprint some kind of mark on them as a mark of acquaintance. That night, he carefully looked at the assassin's star spider, which was exactly the same as the one on Zixi's wrist. It's a coincidence.

Duan Zixi frowned tightly. He didn't do anything special during the day, and he didn't come into contact with any special people or things, except...

His sharp eyes fell on Ye Chengxiang, and his black eyes shot out a sharp and cold light: "There must be something wrong with the Tao Te Ching!"

Prime Minister Ye was startled, and said in surprise, "Why did His Highness the Crown Prince say such a thing?"

"Don't pretend, you know what you do yourself!" Duan Zixi gritted his teeth in his cold voice, turned around, and came to Prime Minister Ye in an instant, reached out and grabbed the Tao Te Ching, and said coldly : "Come on, please doctor!"

Seeing the little eunuch lead away, Duan Zixi looked at Prime Minister Ye coldly, and said word by word: "Prime Minister Ye, framed the prince and punished the nine clans!"

Prime Minister Ye sighed heavily, his eyes full of helplessness: "His Royal Highness, what should I do to convince you that this red spider really has nothing to do with the old minister!"

"You don't have to do anything, just wait for the imperial physician to come!" Duan Zixi's cold voice was sarcasm, waiting for the imperial physician to carefully examine the Tao Te Ching, let's see how he still complains!

The imperial physician walked into the imperial study with a medicine box on his back, took over the Tao Te Ching and checked it carefully!
Prime Minister Ye looked at the paper that was turned over and over in the imperial physician's hands, his eyes were calm, without any fear or fear.

A very bad premonition floated in Duan Zixi's heart, and the imperial doctor's respectful report suddenly sounded in his ears: "My Majesty, this Tao Te Ching is completely normal, and there is nothing unusual about it."

"How is this possible?" Duan Zixi exclaimed, looked at the imperial physician coldly, and said in a word: "The Tao Te Ching caused something inexplicable to appear on my wrist, how could there be no problem? Have you checked clearly?"

"His Royal Highness, I have carefully checked the Tao Te Ching page by page, and found no problems. If Your Highness does not believe it, you can call the imperial physician to come and examine it!"

Duan Zixi frowned tightly, the imperial physician in front of him was famously upright, he said that if there is no problem with the Tao Te Ching, then it must be no problem, but how did the red spider on his wrist come from?If you can't explain the origin of Starscream, you will be suspected by your father...

The emperor also frowned, saying that Zixi was the assassin who assassinated him, and he had a very conclusive alibi, saying that he was not, a red spider appeared on his wrist... What happened?

The eunuch Zhao Hai's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, do you know if I should say it or not?"

The emperor was upset. Hearing his words, he said impatiently, "Speak!"

"The day the emperor asked the servants to put His Royal Highness in the dark room, the servants found that the lock of the dark room showed signs of looseness." Zhao Hai's shrill voice came into his ears, and the emperor was stunned, and looked at Duan Zixi coldly: "Pry open the lock of the dark room He ran out?" His son has high martial arts skills and deep inner strength, how can a mere lock hold him.

Duan Zixi looked at Zhao Hai, and saw that he lowered his head, not daring to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcasm: "Zhao Hai, at this time, you are telling Father that I have sneaked out of the dark room. For the sake of the father, or under the instigation of others?"

Zhao Hai's eyes flickered unnaturally: "His Royal Highness, the slave is just telling the truth, so that the emperor can tell right from wrong, and has no other meaning... That assassin's chest and back were stabbed seriously by the Imperial Forest Army that night. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just ran out of the dark room, he did not assassinate the Emperor, there must be no scars on his body, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can let the Emperor take a look, test it, and remove the suspicion..."

"It makes sense." The emperor nodded and looked at Duan Zixi: "Do you dare to let me check?"

Duan Zixi frowned tightly, checking the scars?
