Li Qianshun was already upset, and now that the evidence was conclusive, he became more and more convinced that he was the prince sent by the King of Yue to assassinate him. So after saying those words coldly, he shouted: "Someone, take this person." I'll take the treacherous son..." His voice, which was originally weak due to his physical weakness, actually became full of energy at this moment.
The King of Yue trembled and quickly knelt down and shouted loudly to Qu Lai: "Father, I have been wronged... I have never had such an idea. Someone must have framed all this!"
"Could the prince risk his own life to frame you? Sun Qianli entered the city with you, and you had more contact with him after that. If not by your orders, who else would it be?" The emperor only asked. I feel like my head is clear at this moment, and many things have been figured out: "You colluded with the Xifeng clan, colluded with Wuguruya, and now you want to kill the prince. What on earth do you want to do?"
When he heard that the emperor even pointed out the Ugururu teeth, the King of Yue's expression suddenly tightened, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say. how so? Suddenly, a terrible thought emerged from the depths of his heart - it was Sun Qianli who wanted to harm him, not only because he was the only one who could enter the Prince's Mansion, but also because he still knew that he, the Xifeng clan, and Wu Someone who has some dealings with Guru Ya!
Also, with his ability to escape from the siege of dozens of people, even Helian Jinshi was defeated miserably at his hands, why would he not be able to kill a weak and weak prince, but let him linger and reveal his identity
The only explanation is that Sun Qianli did all this to frame him!
After understanding this, the King of Yue once again shouted his injustice: "Father, my son was framed by someone. It was Sun Qianli. There must be someone behind him. I was just... I was just confused and was used by him!"
But the emperor clearly didn't believe these words. At the same time, several imperial guards outside the door finally rushed in and quickly knocked down the King of Yue and tied him up. Seeing that the situation was so bad, the King of Yue was really anxious: "Second brother, why don't you say a few words for me? You should know that I have been framed..."
When these words fell on the ears of the people around them, everyone was stunned. Mo Chihe immediately frowned and fixed his gaze on the most inconspicuous second prince, King Cao Li Renxiao, faintly aware of this. Human beings are not simple.
King Cao can be said to be the most inconspicuous of Li Qianshun's three sons. Needless to say, the prince is the crown prince of the Xia Kingdom. He has been involved in politics for many years and is the focus of everyone's attention. The King of Yue also worked hard in Dingzhou and won the title of a wise king with his talents. He even had many party members in the court because of this. Although he did not have a direct conflict with the prince, he obviously had an agenda. of.
On the other hand, King Cao, although he was also sealed elsewhere, was not taken seriously by others. The city under his rule was neither good nor bad, and he had no special performance in the court. He was easily ignored by everyone. Ignored. Even if he went to the palace with them to meet the emperor today, his performance was as low-key as ever, and he didn't even say a few words.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, King Cao's performance only proves his mediocrity and proves that there is a huge gap between him and the prince and the king of Yue. But at this moment, the scheming Mo Xiahe, who has read countless people...
After seeing some other things, I'm afraid this King Cao is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Does he want the prince to fight with the king of Yue and the snipe and the clam, and in the end he will be the fisherman to benefit? And what role did he play in this incident? Could it be that Sun Qianli is actually his? After all, the prince was seriously injured and the king of Yue was convicted, so the next biggest beneficiary would be King Cao!
King Cao did not have the handsomeness of the prince, nor the grace and heroism of King Yue. He looked very ordinary. At this time, there was a helpless smile on this ordinary face: "Third brother, I really don't know how to speak for you... You have indeed gone too far this time. How can you attack the prince? He is our elder brother." , he is the crown prince of my Xia Kingdom!"
"Hmph, please stop pretending in front of me. Do you really think I don't know what you have done behind the scenes before? Do you think there is no one who colludes with some people in the court? Have you noticed it?" The King of Yue was also completely ready to fight at this time, and he was really going to die without saying anything surprising!
Originally, the emperor was not going to listen to his nonsense anymore and wanted to have someone take him down and imprison him. But after hearing these words, he endured it again, and at the same time, his eyes fell on his second son, the most inconspicuous person, with a scrutinizing look. What on earth had he done behind his back
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense and accuse people wrongly. I have never done anything like this! And there are only a few people who really hold power in the court. Except for Zhongshu Ling, they are either colluding with you or following the prince's orders. Do you want to say that Zhongshu Ling and I are together?" King Cao was not too eager, and his rebuttal was clear and logical, and he even glanced at Mo Xianhe.
Seeing the emperor's eyes directed towards him, Mo Chihe hurriedly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The emperor clearly knows that this old minister will not do such a thing." He also has his own pride. How could his identity collude with a King Cao who had little power
Li Qianshun nodded and thought this was impossible: "I still understand Zhongshu Ling's character. King Cao is not qualified enough to let him take refuge! Li Renyou, stop talking nonsense!"
A look of determination flashed in King Yue's eyes, and now he could only tell the whole story. Since we are going to die, let’s die together: “Father, do you know who killed the guards in Zhongshu Ling’s mansion a few nights ago?”
"You want to say that King Cao did it?" The emperor suddenly became suspicious. The truth of this case has not been found out yet.
Mo Chihe was also very interested: "This is wrong. Only a few people knew about it that day. How could King Cao make such an arrangement?"
"Of course King Cao does not have such ability, but the people who colluded with him do, because he is one of the people involved!"
"Do you want to blame everything on Sun Qianli again? Now that he is missing, you can naturally blame it!"
"No, it's not Sun Qianli, and it's not from the prince!" King Yue paused here, and then looked at the already panicked King Cao bitterly: "It's Xi Fengyun, he is the real culprit behind this case. , is also a force in the DPRK that colludes with King Cao!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Even Mo Xiahe changed his expression, and then he wanted to understand.
This is the key. Indeed, they all left out the key figure Xi Fengyun in this matter. He was involved in this matter but stayed out of it, and he knew very well the time when Mo Tsihe's men left the other courtyard. As long as you make some preparations at that time, you can send people to ambush them halfway.
More importantly, as Xi Fengchang's brother, the people under Mo Xihe would not be wary of his people. That's why the ambush was so clean and tidy, and the guards could hardly even fight back. If you do it, they will all silence you!
Just think about how many people this strategy of killing two birds with one stone has counted, you can know how terrifying Xi Fengyun is, and how can King Cao who can unite with it be as mediocre as he seems on the surface
King Cao was shocked to realize that the situation was not good, and he opened his mouth to defend himself, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. What he is good at is keeping a low profile and forbearing, and taking every step after careful consideration, but his emergency response is obviously far inferior to that of the King of Yue. At this time, the truth was revealed, and I was a little overwhelmed.
And when all this was made public, the emperor's face became more and more ugly, and his body started to tremble again. After a while, he said miserably: "Okay... okay, they are all my good sons. They are all prepared for it. Look. Come here, you have long planned to replace the prince, no, you are replacing me, the emperor of Xia Kingdom, right?"
Who would have thought that there were so many contradictions and worries hidden in this seemingly peaceful Xia Dynasty. Originally, all this might have continued to be hidden, and maybe it would eventually disappear as the regime became more stable. However, because of the assassination of the prince, everything was exposed to the surface, and the impact on the situation of the Xia Dynasty was huge. Got it!
Of course, the impact of all this is yet to come, and the most direct impact is on the emperor's dragon body. Coldness, anger, helplessness, self-blame...all kinds of negative emotions continued to hit Li Qianshun's heart like waves, making his condition worsen again. After a miserable laugh, his body that had been propped up suddenly fell down.
This really shocked everyone, and the two sons hurriedly came forward: "Father, you must take care of your dragon body. I deserve to die. I shouldn't do these things to make you angry." of… "
Mochihe was in a daze after seeing this scene. It was only then that he truly understood how ambitious and powerful these princes were. In comparison, the prince, who had put everything in front of him, seemed particularly straightforward, and even made him want to stop fighting with the prince and work hard to help him ascend the throne. After all, in comparison, the prince is more kind.
And just when he had such strange thoughts, someone else hurried outside the palace. Although he looked at the situation inside with some hesitation, he finally said loudly: "Emperor, something serious has happened. Suddenly something happened in the city. Someone posted dozens of letters between court officials and the King of Yue and King Cao, etc., and the fact that the two princes colluded with foreign ministers has spread throughout the city. Moreover, some people say that these things were obtained from the prince. It was stolen from the house!”
Well, as soon as these words came out, the prince's loyal image quickly collapsed in Mo Xihe's heart, and the emperor, who was already furious, yelled after hearing these words: "You traitor..." A mouthful of old blood spurted out. He came out and fainted instantly!
