Nalan Rongjun's heart skipped a beat, but he could only continue to prostrate himself on the ground. He knew that he couldn't admit his wrongs.
The Crown Prince took a few deep breaths to calm his mind. He was the eldest son of his father, and the Queen Mother was the direct descendant of the Protector of the Kingdom. How could he be taken down so easily?
The crown prince raised his head, his face was filled with innocence, "Father, this, this is really someone framing this son!"
Nalan Ronglang, who was at the side, seemed to be unable to continue watching and also opened his mouth: "Royal father, royal brother has always been diligently and diligently these past few years, could it be that someone really wanted to frame him?"
"That's right, royal father. Your son was really framed!" Nalan Rongjun gratefully looked at Nalan Ronglang.
However, just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice rang out from behind him, "Sinner Ren Zhiyuan pays his respects to the emperor!"
Nalan Rongjun's expression changed as he turned around in disbelief to see Ren Zhiyuan kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to him in a firm manner.
Nalan Jie's voice was ice-cold like never before, "Explain what you have done to us clearly."
"Yes." Ren Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Ever since this subject entered the palace, he has always been under the emperor's care …"
The Emperor glanced at him and spat out three words, "Get to the point!"
"Yes!" A few days ago, the crown prince found a sinner and kidnapped a family of people, threatening them to do something while taking care of the emperor's health … " At this point, Ren Zhiyuan fiercely kowtowed a few more times, a regretful look on his face. "Your majesty has helped our Ren Family, and it's true that this sinful subject doesn't want to agree to the crown prince's request. But my old mother is already in her late twenties, and my child is just …" This sinner really can't do anything about it! "
When the Crown Prince heard Ren Zhiyuan's words, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. His words …
That's impossible! Didn't he already arrange for Yan Zhilin to threaten Ren Zhiyuan in the prison? Furthermore, his entire family's life was in his hands, how could he dare to directly place all the blame on his own head?
"Father, he framed me. I have no relationship with him. Father, you must trust me!" Nalan Rongjun finally reacted and immediately retorted.
Geng Qing, who had been standing by the side, said coldly, "prince Crown Prince, the note in your hand was personally written by Ren Zhiyuan. I have personally intercepted it and there are also these …"
Ren Zhiyuan took out a stack of correspondence. The crown prince's heart thumped. That was all he had with Ren Zhiyuan!
It turned out that Ren Zhiyuan had sent a message to the crown prince after Geng Qing had left, but he didn't want to be intercepted by Geng Qing halfway.
"Father, that wasn't written by this one, it was someone who wanted to frame this one! Geng Qing, back then, I only had some conflicts. You, how can you bear a grudge for so many years …" The Crown Prince cried. He absolutely couldn't admit it. At this point, he could only bite whoever he wanted to.
Geng Qing frowned and looked at Ren Zhiyuan, "Master Judgement, do you have any other evidence in your hands?"
"Yes!" Ren Zhiyuan spoke with absolute certainty. He fished out a small and exquisite identity token from the innermost layer of clothing that fit him. Surprisingly, that identity token was the crown prince's personal identity token!
"At that time, this sinner would never have been willing to accept the arrangements made by the Crown Prince's prince, but … Without worrying about the safety of his family, as well as being afraid of the situation that happened today, when Lord Yan Zhilin visited the manor, this sinful subject stole his badge to testify against you. "
"Unfilial son, let's see what else you have to say!" A loud and clear slap fiercely landed on Nalan Rongjun's face, causing the emperor to pant heavily.
Yan Zhilin was the crown prince's advisor, and everyone knew about this. If he hadn't gone to look for Ren Zhiyuan, how could Ren Zhiyuan have had the chance to obtain the identity token of such a useless person?
Nalan Rongjun's forehead was already drenched in cold sweat. He fell head first this time, but he was still unwilling to give up, so he took the opportunity to hug the old Emperor's leg, and cried out. "Royal father, I am your son.
"According to my decree, the crown prince Nalan Rongjun should be well, and be granted permission to head to the southern region to rest. The grand hospital's judge, Ren Zhiyuan, had intended to murder the imperial family and had made a decisive and decisive decision! The Ren family will never be allowed to become officials! "
After the emperor said this, his legs went soft and he directly fainted …
Nalan Ronglang caught the emperor's body, and called for Eunuch Huang to Doctor Xuan while simultaneously bringing the emperor to the bed to rest. Seeing the emperor's dying state, Nalan Ronglang squinted his eyes, and walked out thoughtfully.
"Brother, how is father? Your royal brother was really wrongly accused. " Nalan Rongjun's face was filled with anxiety, as if he was really worried about the old emperor. However, in his heart, he was actually wishing that the old emperor would burp his fart, so that he, as the crown prince, could officially succeed the throne.
Nalan Ronglang stepped forward to help the crown prince up, "Don't worry royal brother, royal father is only angry at the moment. Go to the south island and recuperate for a few days.
Nalan Rongjun nodded his head gratefully, this was the only thing he could do, as his second brother had never shown any interest in the throne, he only wanted to be a rich and idle person, and now that his second brother was here, he was much stronger than Nalan Rongxuan.
Nalan Ronglang's eyes flashed slightly, "Then I'll send someone to escort brother over."
royal brother's conspiracy evidence was already so abundant, yet royal father did not cripple his position as crown prince. This was far beyond Nalan Ronglang's expectations, so he had to send the crown prince away as soon as possible.
Nalan Rongjun was flustered, he did not have time to think about it, and could only nod his head, Ren Zhi Yuan's betrayal was too sudden, but he was still the crown prince, so he still had a chance to turn the situation around.
Ren Zhiyuan was escorted back to the prison and soon a man in black appeared within. Ren Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps forward, "I've already done what you told me to do. Hurry and save me!"
The masked man in black had given him Yan Zhilin's identity token before he left and even promised to save his family's lives. This time, he was afraid that he would have to go to the underworld to report.
"No need for thanks, you did very well. Master specifically asked me to send you some rewards." The smile of the man in black, even though it was separated by a veil, was bone-piercing cold, causing people to shudder.
Ren Zhiyuan felt that something was wrong and waved his hand. "There's no need for that, I'll also …"
Before he could finish his words, a sharp dagger stabbed through his heart. Ren Zhiyuan's eyes widened in fear. "You, you …"
"Don't worry, you won't be lonely on the Road to River Styx. Your family is already waiting for you on the way!" The man in black sneered. His voice sounded cruel and bloodthirsty.
Ren Zhiyuan's gaze gradually lost its focus as he slowly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace even in death …
