C553 Hundred miles of embroidery prison

The atmosphere of today's morning assembly was a little strange, because just now, the eunuch reported that the person who caused Emperor to lose consciousness had been captured. The Central Judicial Office would bring the person over immediately.

Everyone was curious and started discussing who was so daring and reckless. Only Gong Shaoxuan stood silently in a secluded area of the main hall. He spread out the information that the hidden guards had brought in in a hurry, and written on it was a line of black text: 'Princess Wang has been taken away from the Grand Court'.

Gong Xiaoxuan kept the letter back into his sleeves without batting an eyelid. His face was still as cold as before, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.

The person Gong Xiaohan was referring to as the one who caused the Emperor to faint was his Little Princess. Gong Xiaoxuan's eyes darkened, it was just that he still had not deployed everything yet, so he still had to make a trip down to his own princess.

"His Highness the crown prince has arrived …"

Fu Shun's strange drawl echoed in the Supreme Harmony Hall. Ever since Emperor fainted, Gong Xiaohan had relied on his status as the crown prince to temporarily replace him in the imperial court.

Gong Xiaohan was dressed in a navy robe embroidered with elegant patterns of bamboo leaves. Under the shine of the suet jade hairpin on his head, he looked like a noble young master.

"Honorary Daughter." Gong Xiaohan was extremely enjoying this feeling of supremacy that made him involuntarily want to stay in this position for a long time. If he stayed any longer, those who tried to obstruct him would all die without a burial ground!

Gong Xiaohan's eyes were scary and ruthless, but luckily the ministers were below, and could not see through Gong Xiaohan's expression.

"I wonder if all my beloved officials have this starter? If not, then I do have a great matter that I wish to announce to the world."

Gong Xiaohan sat on the extra chair beside the Dragon Throne, his face full of anger, hatred and sadness, making it difficult to differentiate between the real and fake.

The ministers all agreed one by one. Ever since the Emperor fainted, the assembly was no longer the same as before.

Gong Xiaohan nodded in satisfaction, and bowed towards the imperial harem, then said slowly: "Imperial Father has always been a healthy dragon, but he suddenly fainted a few days ago, and the imperial doctors were helpless to do anything. I felt that the situation was strange, so I instructed the Monastery members of the Central Judicial Office to investigate this matter, but who would have thought that in the end … "

Gong Xiaohan left a thought of leaving something for the ministers to think about, his face had a look of disappointment and resentment, causing them to involuntarily guess: Earlier, the eunuch before the imperial court informed them that the person who caused Emperor to faint was the crown prince, and now that the crown prince had such an expression, could it be that the person had a strange identity?

"Your Highness, may I know who made Emperor lose consciousness? The punishment for plotting against the Son of Heaven is death! "

The one who spoke was the Military Department's Minister. He was usually rather impetuous, and did not like those winding questions. This was why he asked these questions without any hesitation.

The corner of Gong Xiaohan's mouth raised into a faint smile, and he signaled the eunuchs by his side to bring the men up.

Temple of The Magistrate who had been waiting outside since long ago heard the summons, and immediately suppressed Baili Jinxiu and entered the Supreme Harmony Hall.

"This humble subject attends the Crown Prince." Temple of The Magistrate politely saluted, but the people around him clearly did not care about his existence, and started staring at Baili Jinxiu who was beside him.

Could it be that the person who plotted the murder of Emperor as mentioned by the crown prince was the Princess An? The famous Poison Doctor in the capital?

"Cough cough." Gong Xiaohan let out a heavy cough, and only opened his mouth after he pulled everyone's attention back.

"My beloved one is equal, may I know who is the Princess An beside her?"

Baili Jinxiu laughed coldly, he had heard it clearly from outside the hall, wasn't she the one that Gong Xiaohan mentioned was plotting to murder the Son of Heaven?

"Reporting to Your Highness, three days ago, this humble subject sent His Majesty to investigate the matter of His Majesty's coma. This humble subject followed some clues and finally confirmed that the culprit was Princess An, which was why I brought him here."

When Temple of The Magistrate said this, the officials all started boiling.

The relationship between the Princess An and the Emperor had been very stiff previously, and the reputation of the Princess An could be heard clearly outside. Using poison to knock the Emperor out was simply a small matter.

Some were skeptical, some were angry, and some were just watching. After all, these were just the words of the Temple of The Magistrate. What's more … Many officials secretly glanced at Gong Xiaoxuan who had a cold expression on his face.

Gong Xiaohan looked at everyone's expressions, his mouth exposing a sneer, and indicated to the side that a young eunuch should leave quietly.

Then, a voice transmission sounded out, "Imperial Physician Wang, Imperial Physician Li, Imperial Physician Wei, Imperial Physician Zhang, and the others have come out to seek an audience. They said they have news regarding the Emperor's coma."

Gong Xiaoxuan nodded his head, "Quickly, get the imperial doctors in."

Imperial Physician Wang and the others were all elderly people with Imperial Hospital, and their medical skills were excellent. This time, the ones in charge of treating Emperor were these few people as well as Wen Hechu's grandfather.

"This old official pays his respect to Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

Gong Xiaohan waved his hand to indicate them to stand up, and asked: "I heard that the few imperial physicians came just now because of the Emperor's coma. I wonder what it is?"

They looked at each other as Imperial Physician Wang took a step forward.

"Reporting to Your Highness, when the old officials came over today, they found a new clue.

Emperor suddenly fainted, because of a sudden incident, the old officials were unable to promptly diagnose the cause of the disease, and only today did they realise that this was not an illness, but someone had poisoned Emperor! "

The moment Imperial Physician Wang said this, everyone became excited, and their gazes unconsciously drifted towards Baili Jinxiu. If there was poison, then Princess An would definitely be the most suspicious, no wonder the Central Judicial Office would bring him over.

Gong Xiaohan squinted his eyes, indicating for Doctor Wang to continue.

"This humble subject and the rest studied the poison's composition overnight, and discovered that it contains Riley and other poisonous medicinal herbs, and Riley is extremely rare as well. I have only seen Princess An use it before."

Right now, Baili Jinxiu had the intention and evidence to murder Emperor, the people who were watching and doubting what was happening immediately became angry. This Princess An really had a lot of guts, he openly poisoned Emperor, did he want to usurp the position of Emperor?

Baili Jinxiu and Gong Xiaoxuan did not retort or move, as if they had tacitly agreed to it.

"Your Highness, this old official feels that the Princess An should be sentenced to death for conspiring to murder the current Son of Heaven!"

"That's right, the Princess An really has the guts to poison His Majesty. Could it be that he wants to be replaced?"

The court officials from the Crown Prince's faction all raised their suggestions, causing the smile on Gong Xiaohan's face to widen.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say. Since royal father is unconscious, how about we take Baili Jinxiu captive first and wait for royal father to wake up before we execute him?"

Gong Xiaohan slapped the table, of course no one dared to go against him, so he just let them bring him down.

Gong Xiaoxuan, who had always been silent, looked at the figure of Baili Jinxiu who was brought down the stairs, and a huge storm brewed in the depths of his eyes.
