The crime of the Twelve Princes was... having an affair with a concubine in the harem, who was discovered by Emperor Chu, and finally died in prison as a result of being wronged.
According to what Xia Jingzhi said...the Twelve Princes have nothing to do with Concubine Xuan.
Xia Jingzhi refined a kind of secret medicine for the third prince, which is hidden in the aromatherapy, which is addictive. After a long time of use, it will make people dizzy and hallucinate.
The concubine carefully selected by the third prince is the concubine who is not favored in the harem... Concubine Xuan.
that day.
The third prince asked Xia Jingzhi to pretend to be an accompanying guard, quietly enter the palace, and then went to meet Concubine Xuan.
At that time, after the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, the third prince was the most powerful prince. When the third prince came to visit, Concubine Xuan had no reason to refuse.
After concubine Xuan received the third prince, the third prince gave concubine Xuan the secret medicine aromatherapy refined by Xia Jingzhi.
Just like what Xia Jingzhi confessed... The aromatherapy refined by Xia Jingzhi not only has the effect of long-lasting fragrance, but also refreshing and smells very good.
Most importantly... this aromatherapy is addictive.
Concubine Xuan became obsessed with this fragrance after using it twice, and Emperor Chu also came to her bedroom many times because of this fragrance.
Concubine Xuan became more and more aware of the charm of this fragrance, so she invited the third prince to her bedroom many times to buy fragrance from him.
After one or two years, Concubine Xuan's use of aromatherapy has poisoned her bones, she is charming to her bones, and has won the favor of Emperor Chu.
The third prince saw that the time was right.
The twelve princes were specially selected to enter the palace again when they came back from their inspection tour of Qianzhou in Mobei to meet Concubine Xuan.
But this time, the third prince specifically ordered Xia Jingzhi to add drugs to the aromatherapy, so that Concubine Xuan would enter an unconscious coma state after using the aromatherapy.
The third prince sent the aromatherapy to Concubine Xuan's bedroom, specially for Concubine Xuan to use it.
soon.
Concubine Xuan fell to the ground limply, and the third prince untied Concubine Xuan's robe and hugged her to the bed.
Then, he arranged for the assassin to enter the harem in advance to confuse the audience, and specially flashed past the twelve princes to lure him to Concubine Xuan's bedroom.
After the twelve princes came to Concubine Xuan's bedroom, he saw that the whole bedroom was empty, he felt suspicious, and walked in cautiously.
Unexpectedly.
The aromatherapy made by Xia Jingzhi still permeated Concubine Xuan's bedroom. After the twelve princes entered, when he found something was wrong, he was powerless to escape and could only pass out behind Concubine Xuan's bedroom.
And Xia Jingzhi, who was hiding in the dark of Concubine Xuan's bedroom, came out, untied the robes of the twelve princes, and sent them to Concubine Xuan's bed.
After Xia Jingzhi was ready, he told the third prince with a secret method.
The third prince brought Emperor Chu to Concubine Xuan's bedroom, and arrested the Twelfth Prince and Concubine Xuan on the spot.
then.
After the incident broke out, Concubine Xuan committed suicide in the bedroom, and the Twelve Princes also committed suicide in prison because they could not bear the humiliation.
This incident also brought many surprises to the Third Prince.
When the First Prince and Second Prince were in full swing, the Twelve Princes, Seventh Prince, Eighth Prince and others all belonged to Xian Wang.
They don't care about worldly affairs, they only want to cultivate, or travel around.
After the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, Emperor Chu focused on the twelfth prince, the seventh prince and others.
After the twelve princes were plotted against by the third prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, and several princesses petitioned for mercy, and were also severely punished by the Chu emperor.
The Seventh Prince was granted the title of "King Chen" and went to the fiefdom. He was not allowed to enter the imperial capital without being summoned.
The eighth prince seemed to have noticed something, and then left the imperial capital, went to the dry Zen sect, worshiped Buddhism, and never cared about worldly affairs.
The nineteenth princess was taken away by Tianshuizong and became the suzerain of the contemporary Tianshuizong.
...
After listening to this confession, Lin Bai finally had a clear understanding of what happened thousands of years ago.
The Seventh Prince is now His Royal Highness Chen Wang.
The nineteenth princess is Chu Xi, the suzerain of Tianshui Sect.
As for the eighth prince... Lin Bai looked up at His Highness Chen Wang, "The eighth prince is Emperor Wuyan?"
His Royal Highness Chen looked up to the sky and sighed, "That's right."
"You need to listen urgently, there will be a confession later."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang did not explain too much, but let Lin Bai continue to listen.
Xia Jingzhi confessed many things, including what strange poison he made for the third prince, who he dealt with, and how many people he killed in Chu.
Lin Bai didn't pay much attention to these things.
There was only one thing, Lin Bai listened carefully: after the twelve princes were imprisoned, the eighth prince went to the palace to intercede, but was reprimanded by the furious Emperor Chu.
Then, the Eighth Prince came to the Yamen of the Third Prince's Mansion, and the two princes had a big fight in the study.
According to what Xia Jingzhi said... Although he didn't know why the eighth prince and the third prince had such a big fight, he guessed that the eighth prince might have vaguely guessed that these were the tricks of the third prince.
After the twelve princes were framed, the eighth prince came to question the third prince, and at the same time asked about the cause of death of the eldest prince and the second prince.
This is very likely the reason for the big fight between the Eighth Prince and the Third Prince.
Maybe even the eighth prince didn't expect... the third prince who regarded him as a brother would turn him into a knife in his hand.
After a quarrel, the eighth prince left the imperial capital in a daze, and retired to Buddhism.
After hearing all of Xia Jingzhi's confessions, Lin Bai heaved a sigh of relief, which contained many secrets about the royal family.
"It's unbelievable." Lin Bai sighed softly, "Xia Jingzhi joined hands with the third prince in the imperial capital to stir up such a big situation."
"Your Highness, now that Xia Jingzhi has a statement, Xia Jingzhi is also willing to confess."
"We have the evidence in our hands, so we don't know what His Highness is going to do?"
Lin Bai asked about His Royal Highness Chen Wang's next plan.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang's eyes sank, and he said in a cold voice: "Of course, there is revenge for revenge, and revenge for revenge!"
"The first prince, the second prince, the twelve princes...the third prince is responsible for their deaths. I can't let them die in vain."
"There are still five days before Father's birthday, so I have to prepare well."
Lin Bai asked: "Your Highness intends to publicize Xia Jingzhi's confession on his birthday?"
His Royal Highness Chen Wang nodded and said: "Only in this way can the father pay attention, otherwise, the father may be like a thousand years ago..."
At the end, His Royal Highness Chen Wang did not continue to speak.
And Lin Bai added the last part of the sentence for His Royal Highness Chen Wang, "I'm afraid His Majesty will turn big things into small things like a thousand years ago, and finally let it go."
"If a thousand years ago, after the death of the First Prince, His Majesty was able to make a decisive decision and find out the real culprit, I am afraid that there would not be so many things behind."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang said sadly: "Yes."
Lin Bai said: "Since His Highness has already made a decision, then prepare well."
"This photo bead, can you give me a copy?"
"I've prepared it for Brother Lin." His Royal Highness Chen Wang took out a spare photo bead and handed it to Lin Bai, "Take it to Chao Yushi to have a look, and ask him what he thinks."
His Royal Highness Chen Wang naturally understood Lin Bai's deep intention of asking for the Photo Pearl, and he wanted to discuss it with Prince Hong's Mansion.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang also gradually took over Prince Hong's Mansion. After all, Prince Hong's Mansion also contributed a lot in the battle in the eastern suburbs.
