C126

Shen Youhuang's face was pale with fright when she heard this. The blade in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

It turned out that Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan were not relatives, but to investigate the evidence of the crown prince's conspiracy.

Before leaving, he had instructed Hua Ruyu to take advantage of Shen Youhuang's absence and have the Du Family take action in Ningnan County so that Shen Lingjue and Feng Ning Yan would never return to the capital.

When she received a letter from Hua Ruyu saying that although Shen Lingjue had not been poisoned, Feng Ning Yan was dead for sure. Shen You Huang felt that she had been threatened at least once.

Now that he saw the two of them safe and sound, he thought that Feng Ning Yan was a Gu and had yet to take effect. However, he didn't expect that the two of them had already found the place where the crown prince raised the killer.

If that was the case, could it be that Feng Ningyan's Gu poison had already been dispelled by that Miao Family's witch doctor?

Evidence, Evidence...

These two words gnawed at Shen You Huang's heart like a wriggling Gu worm.

He didn't know how much more evidence the two of them knew about the crown prince.

However, just as Feng Ningyan finished speaking, an explosive shout came from not too far away, "Who dares to slander this crown prince!"

At this point, Shen Di, the crown prince, arrived with a large group of imperial guards in tow. She was wielding a sword in her hand.

"royal father! Please do not listen to those ambitious people who covet the position of crown prince slander me. I love royal father from the bottom of my heart and have never raised any assassins! "

The moment the emperor saw the crown prince, he looked at the assassins on the floor and was terrified.

"Ling Jue and Princess Yu said that these killers were raised by the crown prince. Do you have any evidence?"

Shen Ling Jue stood up, but before he could speak, the Crown Prince pulled out his sword and pointed it at Shen Ling Jue:

"Father, this son has already found out that these assassins were brought back from Ningnan by King Yu and his wife! I don't believe that royal father would think about it. Just think about it, the accent they spoke just now, could it be the accent from the critical areas of the Southern Wilderness and Ningnan? "

The emperor recalled a killer shouting at him, "F * cking emperor, give me your life!"

Although he couldn't hear it clearly, the accent was indeed very similar to the dialect of Southern Ningnan.

He couldn't help but be secretly frightened. He glanced at Feng Ning Yan, who was holding onto a long spear, and retreated step by step into the cave.

"Not bad, it seems to be an accent from Ningnan County …"

When Feng Ningyan heard this, she silently cursed the emperor for being muddle-headed. She gritted her teeth and glared at the crown prince.

"On the way to King Yu's mansion to escort the wedding procession into the capital, they encountered an ambush at Celestial Wolf Mountain. They were also speaking in the dialect of the Southern Wilderness. If these assassins were our men, how could they have ambushed us?"

The Crown Prince laughed coldly, "Did you leave behind any evidence? Now, in order to get rid of your crimes and lie in front of royal father, do you think royal father will believe you? "

Shen Ling Jue looked coldly at the crown prince, his gaze filled with contempt.

The Crown Prince then continued, "Father, they pretended to protect you. When you arrived at the palace, they would think of a way to kill you. There are many princes who have come here to kill their kings and to write false wills. royal father, please do not trust them.

The more the emperor listened, the more frightened he became. He was so scared that his courage was about to be broken by the crown prince.

These assassins were sent by the crown prince, or were they assassins sent by Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan from Ningnan for the sake of usurping power? He no longer had any way to differentiate between them.

Feng Ning Yan laughed out loud. She gripped her long spear tightly and walked to Shen Ling Jue's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

At this moment, all the Imperial Guards had silently raised their weapons towards them. It was obvious that they were waiting for the Emperor's order to capture them.

Shen Youhuang was filled with regret, regretting that she had given up the chance to kill the emperor just now when she was frightened by Shen Lingjue.

Now that the crown prince knew that Shen Youhuang had betrayed him and taken care of Shen Lingjue, wouldn't it be Shen You Huang's turn next?

Taking advantage of the Imperial Guard's surprise, he slowly picked up the steel knife and shifted it in the direction of the Emperor …

Shen Ling Jue held onto Feng Ning Yan's hand, smiling slightly. "Royal Consort, it's fine, put down your weapon."

When Feng Ningyan heard this, she nodded and threw her spear on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the crown prince thought that they had surrendered, and proudly pointed his sword at Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan: "You know to put down your weapons, and you're still smart. I'll definitely let you guys off easy."

However, at this time, Shen Ling Jue suddenly shouted at the outer circle of the Imperial Guard, "Pass on the information, the Supreme Court's Official Zheng Chu, Young Master Zhuang Zongshi will do it, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice Xiao will do it, the Right Prime Minister will do it with a thin whistle!"

This sound made the Crown Prince take a step back, the sword in his hand almost falling out of his grasp.

Why did Shen Ling Jue suddenly pass down information to these people? What tricks was he planning to use to delay them?

With that, the Imperial Guard immediately opened up a path. Several court officials walked in and knelt on the ground.

"This subject pays his respects to the Emperor. Long live King Yu and Long live Prince Cheng."

The crowd only called him the Emperor, Shen Ling Jue, and Shen You Huang, but they didn't pay their respects to the Crown Prince. This caused the Crown Prince to be infuriated.

"Scoundrel!" Don't tell me you're blind and can't see this prince! "

Shen Ling Jue chuckled, and ordered the rest of the officials to get up.

At this moment, someone came to Du Kai's side and whispered something. Du Kai's expression changed and he immediately raised his hand, ordering all of the Imperial Guards to put down their weapons.

He walked up to the emperor and reported, "Your majesty, this general has something to begin."

The emperor sat on a low rock beside the fake mountain and weakly waved his hand. "Speak."

Du Kai clasped his fists and said, "Just now, when the Emperor was on his way back to Chen Ming Palace from Penglai Pavilion, this general received news that the Imperial Guards had broken out in internal strife and died. This general immediately gathered the Imperial Guards and returned to suppress them."

As he spoke, he glanced at the crown prince and his eyes turned sharp.

"But His Highness Duke of Yu stopped this lowly general and told him that the Imperial Guard Battalion wouldn't engage in a ruckus for no reason at all. He was afraid that this was a scheme to lure the tiger out of the mountain and cause danger to the emperor." This is how I got here in time to stop the killer. "

When the Emperor heard the reason, the doubt in his heart towards Shen Lingjue was somewhat dispelled.

Du Kai continued, "The subordinates of this lowly general have already found out that those Imperial Guards who killed their enemies have been ordered by one person to return back to the camp and weaken the defenses of the imperial harem."

The emperor was infuriated as he asked in shock, "Who is this person?!"

Du Kai pointed at the crown prince and said, "It is his highness, the crown prince!"

The Crown Prince was furious and scolded, "Du Kai, you're spouting nonsense! You were also bought by Shen Ling Jue! "

Du Kai sneered coldly and without another word, he retreated to the side.

At this point, Shen Lingjue took a glance at the Supreme Court's Zheng Chu and Shaoqing Zhuang, who were adept at their own stuff. The two of them bowed as they started the ceremony.

"Reporting to your majesty, the justice courts have received a secret submission regarding the looting of the cream by Yin Wang Yanzhong of Henan Province, evidence of embezzlement of funds for the construction of the dike and of local taxes, as well as details of the construction of a palace in Luoyang for the crown prince. Please have a look."

As he spoke, Zhuang Duanxing presented the thick stack of evidence in front of the emperor.

When the Emperor heard this, his hands trembled as he took the pieces of evidence and looked at them page by page. He was so angry that his lips turned purple.

"Embezzlement of tax monies... 1,760,000 silver … Embezzlement of 890,000 silver for dam construction... "The palace shall be built according to the imperial system …"

After saying that, he threw the painting of the palace in front of the crown prince.

"Shen Di!" Is this your 'heartfelt love for your father'? I'm not dead yet, but you've already repaired the emperor's palace! "Are you hoping that I will die tomorrow?"
