C141 Trap(4)

When the emperor saw her gaze drift towards the crown prince, he said indifferently, "The crown prince's actions are rebellious and disrespectful to his words. I am only reprimanding him."

He walked out first, and Imperial Concubine Lan followed immediately after. Seeing the situation, Gu Qingruo hurriedly followed behind him. She didn't notice the strange look in Xiao Yijin's eyes.

Xiao Yibei suddenly grabbed onto his collar and shouted angrily, "Tell me, are you or are you not?"

"The Crown Prince became silly. When I entered the house, I covered everything up for you, and you still didn't believe me?"

Xiao Yi Bei recalled that Xiao Yi Jin had indeed taken a step back and said, "Third imperial concubine, we might have walked through the wrong door."

"Then your meaning is …" It's Xiao Yi Mo? " Xiao Yi Bei gritted his teeth.

Xiao Yijin sighed, "I don't know either, it's just that …" This is just a guess, maybe I was being overly concerned. " His eyes were full of pity and regret, as if he was extremely sad.

A violent knocking sound came from the door. Ji Rong Hua should be unable to endure the fear and sorrow in the room, and couldn't even care less about his untidy clothes.

Xiao Yijin sighed and let go of Xiao Yibei, patting him on the shoulder. "No matter what, you are still my royal father's son. From this, you can tell that he still has some kinship with you. "Endure a moment of peace, unlike the other one inside …"

As he approached the room's door, he complacently raised his eyebrows and thought of Xiao Yi Mo. Cooperation is not impossible, after the cooperation is over, it is also a good choice. The crown prince might be crippled, but the empress wasn't. But the legitimate son still had Xiao Yiyan … Xiao Yimo had actually chosen his foolish princess consort to do this for him.

At the same time, Gu Qingruo returned to Xiao Yi Mo's side with a panicked expression. Xiao Yi Mo, who was listening to the joke, frowned for a brief moment, then silently glanced at her before whispering, "Calm down. We'll talk about this after we return home."

Gu Qingluo's heart had been beating so fast that it almost left her throat. However, she was intimidated by the coldness of his gaze. Her heart gradually calmed down and her body cooled down.

She was glad that her status was different, so that she could live till now.

He couldn't help but feel faint regret that he had done such a thing for Xiao Yimo.

Xiao Yijin, on the other hand, was slowly drawing his saber from the crack of the door. Looking at the blood dripping from the knife's edge, he blew on it expressionlessly, and only after hearing the wailing and wailing inside slowly fade away did he slowly open the door.

There was some resistance, but it could not withstand his push. The woman wrapped in yellow silk fell to the ground on her back, her body half curled up as her eyes widened. Her originally beautiful face now had a layer of death in it.

"What a pity." Xiao Yijin sighed as he shook his head. He didn't know whether he was regretting his loss for that face or for her fate.

Someone slowly crawled out from inside. Her hair was a bit messy, and there was still some dust on her dress. Only her delicate and pretty face was not tainted at all. She coldly looked at Xiao Yijin.

There wasn't much to offer in the midst of a snowstorm, but there were plenty of people pushing against a wall. After the incident with Xiao Yi Bei, even though the news was sealed tightly, the Emperor still heard about the fact that Xiao Yi Bei had long since spoken to Ji Rong with such flirtatious words. The two of them looked at each other and were in love.

At this crucial moment, the envoy of the Southern Moon, Jin Xi Ran, entered the palace. He handed over Zhang Yu's letter, informing Prince Dong Yuan that his elder brother, Jin Xi Yuan, had been murdered.

When the emperor saw the paper, his eyes blazed with the fire of the netherworld, as if he wanted to burn the paper into ashes.

However, although Jin Xiran was a prince from a neighboring country, he was still an emissary. No matter what, he could not allow his anger to affect his country's stature.

After taking deep breaths, he heard Jin Xiran's words, "Reporting to Your Majesty, our country has a rare medicine, known as Cold Eating Powder. When the Crown Prince and my royal brother first met, the two of them hated each other for being late. "Then, once, my royal brother took an overdose and said something he wouldn't go out of line with. He had a dispute with the crown prince, so he had a bad thought and poisoned my royal brother …"

Jin Xi couldn't stop crying. "My royal brother has been missing for a long time, and I haven't been able to find him for a long time, and he turned out to be …"

"Why did the crown prince and the noble envoy's royal brother start a dispute?" The Emperor's tone was light, but his eyes were lowered, and he did his best to not let his anger leak out.

"I heard it's for a woman from Star-Moon Gambling Workshop. His name is Yun Yige."

It was a woman again! The emperor's vision turned black. What crime did he commit to give birth to such a lecherous eldest son?

"That girl is extremely beautiful, and her skill is also extraordinary …" "Later on, when I investigated Brother Wang's death, I went to the Star-Moon Gambling Workshop to investigate. I was almost unable to escape from there."

If she was ugly, then why did she make them start such an argument? For example, the Emperor had already trusted him somewhat. Xiao Yi Bei was able to do such a thing.

"Where is the evidence? Your envoy isn't suing a commoner. "

"My royal brother's body was found buried in ice and spices to this day, and it remains undecayed. His Majesty the Emperor can send a coroner to examine it. In fact, the corpse had been blamed by Lin Zhihan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and had been thrown into the well of his house. It was because Assistant Minister Lin found the floating corpse that he was so frightened. He found out who my brother was and specially found out what happened to him. Later on, this envoy and Vice Minister Lin secretly investigated and found evidence and material evidence. Only then did they find out that it was done by His Highness the Crown Prince. "

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, which were radiating bright rays of light. "The crown prince wants to frame the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue? How could it be so easy? Besides, he had no enmity with Lin Zhihan, so why would he want to frame him? Wouldn't burning the corpse destroy it? "

"Does His Majesty remember a palace maid called Liu Xin?" Jin Xi asked.

"Isn't she dead?" The Emperor had a vague impression and was somewhat angry at this incident, but in the end, Liu Xin died and the matter came to an end.

"She only faked her death. After she had been rescued by Vice Minister Lin outside of the palace, she was taken in as a concubine and given a different courtyard. As the Crown Prince learned of this matter, he went through the matter again and again, and hated Vice Minister Lin to the bone. "

The Emperor closed his eyes and was speechless.

"The reason why I have not returned to my country for a long time is actually not because I am nostalgic for the Eastern Abyss, but because I wanted to investigate the cause of my former brother's death. He only dared to speak to the king when the truth was revealed and he was full of evidence! "

Jin Xiran's words were clear and true. In the investigation, all the witnesses pointed to the crown prince, including the body of Jin Xi Yuan which was preserved with ice and spices. The cause of death was examined by coroner.

When the resurrected Liu Xin appeared before the emperor, he no longer wanted to interrogate the crown prince.

At this point, even the envoys from the neighboring countries had been killed. The face of Dongyuan had been completely obliterated. The emperor could not kill the envoy of Nan Yue this time to cover up the truth.

In order to give the Southern Moon Kingdom an explanation, the Emperor had quickly drawn up the crippled Crown Prince's edict. The Crown Prince, Xiao Yi Bei, had forbidden and relocated out of the Eastern Palace due to his mischievous personality, mediocre incompetence, and the mistakenly killing of a neighboring ambassador and official.

As for the crime of mistakenly killing him, it was a compromise gained through repeated negotiations with Jin Xiran.

Jin Xiran naturally didn't wish for the situation to escalate further. The Emperor continued his investigation, and even brought the matter to the Southern Kingdom. He knew very well that Jin Xi Yuan's death was the best thing that could have happened to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do anything like what that Xiao Yi Xiu had done to him.
