Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 588 Drive out of Prince Qi’s Mansion (2)
Angry accusations pierced their ears and reached their hearts. Everyone's bodies trembled in shock, and they looked at each other, looking at each other's eyes and noses, and noses and hearts: the princes competed for the throne almost from generation to generation, and when the prince disappeared, they knew about it. It's not easy, the guard's accusation confirmed their guess, it was the third prince who murdered the prince.

The crown prince and the three princes are all sons of the emperor. They fight openly and covertly. It is the emperor's housework. They are courtiers who can't control it, and they are not qualified to control it. Just wait for the emperor to pronounce the sentence.

Xiao Tianling's face was gloomy. He was very strict about that matter, but he did not expect that there would still be a fish that slipped through the net. It's okay, it's not so easy to testify against him!

Looking down at the guard, he said coldly: "Who ordered you to frame this prince?"

The guard's eyes were cold: "No one instructed Xiaozhi, who saw the truth of the prince's accident with his own eyes, and tried his best to seek justice for His Royal Highness."

Xiao Tianling snorted disdainfully: "Don't be ashamed to speak out here, the emperor's brother had an accident for half a month, why didn't you come out to testify earlier, but ran out to make trouble during our trial of the true and false Prince Qi, why are you at ease?"

A quiet sentence, upon hearing it suddenly, it was nothing special, but after careful consideration, one would find that he was insinuating. Xiao Qingyu was dissatisfied with the emperor's suspicion of his identity, so he deliberately got a guard to testify that the emperor's son had fratricide, insinuatingly The emperor has no way to teach his son!
Mu Yutang looked up at the emperor, only to see that his complexion had turned gloomy, his eyelids were drooping, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiao Qingyu's expression was clear and indifferent, and there was an imperceptible sneer in his obsidian pupils.

The guard looked over at Xiao Tianling's sharp gaze, and said word by word: "The humble worker's legs were bitten off by the cannibal white flower, and he was seriously injured and unconscious. Fortunately, the hunter rescued him. He was out of danger until yesterday. He woke up. Investigating the matter of the prince, the humble officer rushed to the palace with all his strength, not intentionally delaying time..."

"Really? Then it's time for you to wake up!" Xiao Tianling's Qingjun voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

The emperor listened to the arguments of the two, without saying a word, the expression in his eyes changed rapidly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"The prince has the kindness to know and encounter the prince. To repay the prince, I just entered the palace to face the saint. I dare to swear to the sky. Everything I said just now is true. If there is a half-truth, the sky will be struck by lightning, and I will die a bad death." He spoke in a low voice, with strong determination and sincerity shining in his eyes.

Xiao Tianling raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "It's just a few vows. Everyone will say that there are still many doubts about the death of the crown prince and brother. Maybe it was some restless guard who killed him. In order to get rid of the crime, the thief called for the testimony of the thief." other people……"

The emperor was silent and said nothing.

The guard's heart gradually cooled down, and he said loudly: "The loyalty of the humble officer to His Royal Highness is a lesson to be learned, if the third prince doesn't believe it..." The guard pulled out the long sword of the person beside him, and stabbed it into his chest fiercely. The blood seeped out quickly, soaking a large piece of clothes, and the corners of his mouth also overflowed with blood. He looked at the emperor, and said word by word: "Death is the proof of a lowly position. His Highness the Crown Prince was killed by the Third Prince!"

The ministers didn't expect him to do this, and looked at him in surprise. To His Royal Highness, he is a loyal subordinate. Why didn't the emperor make decisions for him, and just watched him being forced to death by the third prince!
There was also a complicated look in the emperor's eyes. He ignored the guards, but suspected that the guards were arranged by Xiao Qingyu on purpose. He didn't expect the guards to do such a terrible thing, forcing him to punish Tian Ling with death.

Xiao Tianling raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes were cold, so what if he forced him with death?punish him?Wishful thinking: "In order to achieve the purpose of the master, simply sacrifice your own life, a very suitable dead man!"

All the ministers coughed lightly, and thought to themselves, Wang Xin is the bodyguard next to the prince, and there are records in the palace, he is not a dead man at all!
"Does Xiao Shizi believe Wang Xin's words?" Xiao Tianling looked at Xiao Qingyu, with a slight mockery in the corner of his eyes and brows, the guard was dead, he was almost convicted of murdering the prince, he had to open the gap from Xiao Qingyu to prove his innocence .

"I'm not familiar with Wang Xin, so I don't comment on what he said. When I entered the palace just now, he stopped my carriage on the street and asked me to take him into the palace to seek justice for the prince. I checked roughly, and he did It's the guard next to the prince, so I brought him to see the emperor." Xiao Qingyu said calmly.

If the emperor wanted evidence, he would bring the so-called evidence to the emperor. As for whether the emperor believed the evidence, whether he wanted to avenge his son, that was the emperor's business, and Xiao Qingyu had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Tianling choked, Wang Xin was brought by Xiao Qingyu, no matter whether Xiao Qingyu said yes or no, it could prove that Xiao Qingyu and Wang Xin were related, but Xiao Qingyu actually pushed the matter away completely, seeing the whole thing as an outsider This matter was not involved in the slightest, and he was indeed a smart and hateful person.

The emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying in an instant, and he said sharply: "The crown prince was assassinated, and there are still many doubts. You can't just listen to the one-sided words of a certain witness. However, Tianling is involved in the case and is a suspect. Go back to Huayang Palace and think about it behind closed doors. Find out the truth of the matter." Don't take half a step out of Huayang Palace!"

Xiao Qingyu stayed out of the situation, and he, Tianling, and Wang Xin were the only ones involved in the incident. Wang Xin testified that Tianling was the real murderer in full view. The demonstration is strict, otherwise, the courtiers will definitely have heresy and cause turmoil in the court.

"I obey the decree." Xiao Tianling said in a low voice, accepting the decree to thank you, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.

Mu Yutang sneered, thinking behind closed doors?Re-examine the case?It's just an excuse, she dares to guarantee that the emperor will investigate and investigate, and the matter will disappear without a trace. It is just empty words to avenge the empress and the prince.

The emperor has always been afraid of Qingyu. The crown prince is dead, and only the third prince Xiao Tianling is left to contend with Qingyu. Therefore, even if Xiao Tianjun was really killed by Xiao Tianling, the emperor will never severely punish Xiao Tianling, because he wants to keep Xiao Tianling against him. Fu Qingyu.

The emperor forced Xiao Tianling to be grounded today, but he could indirectly warn the ministers that Xiao Tianjun was killed by Xiao Tianling. If the crown prince died, more than half of the courtiers who supported him as emperor would be lost.

"I'm a little tired, let's all step back!" The emperor leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes, his handsome face stained with a touch of exhaustion.

"Resignation!" The ministers saluted and walked out of the imperial study in twos and threes.

Mu Yutang held Xiao Qingyu's arm, Shi Shi ran forward, Xiao Tianling walked over, looked at Xiao Qingyu, and said coldly: "You know best whether you are the son of Prince Qi, don't let me find evidence, otherwise , you will die without a burial place!"
