Chapter 396
Chu Xinyuan's heart sank, to the ground.

It is indeed possible that people from Prince Liang's Mansion were involved in such a tight trap, but he still has no clue now!
He raised his head, looked at the man with the majestic sky and dark eyes, and said in a shy voice: "Father, I want to poison my seventh brother, so I sent Yue Xi, who is next to me, to do it myself , This is to let everyone know that he is a member of the Erchen faction? In your eyes, is Erchen so stupid to this extent?"

emperor:"……"

The emperor was also very annoyed by this matter.

Early this morning, the prison didn't dare to hide anything, and reported in detail the incident that Chu Jingxian was almost poisoned last night.

Because there were two guards who were changing guards at that time, everyone in the jailer department knew that the relatives around King Liang came to deliver the food, and those jailers died of poisoning after eating the food.How dare they hide anything about King Liang?

After the emperor heard it, he was very angry.

He just locked Lao Qi in for one night, but Lao Qi almost died in the hands of someone with a heart.

Although Lao Qi is just a useless playboy, he is also his son!

To do something to the prince, and the person who did it may also be the prince, this is enough to make him furious.

Why did he give birth to such a bunch of worry-free things?
But when he calmed down, he felt something was wrong again.

Be it the confession, the evidence, or the poisoning of Lao Qi, everything points to Lao Wu.

Let me talk about the confession first, the big palace lady was interrogated by Jiang Yi himself, because of the heavy punishment, no one could bear it, the poison in the big palace lady's mouth was removed, her teeth were pulled out one by one, her fingernails were peeled off one by one, and even The finger bones were also twisted off one by one, and the big palace lady couldn't live or die, and finally collapsed, pouring out all the bamboo tubes like beans.

The reasons for her allegiance to the fifth child and who she had contact with were all clear.

When she was very young, her father died, and her mother gave birth to only one child. The family wanted to seize their family property, forced her mother to death, and sold her into a brothel. At that time, she was 12 years old and already Remember things, but also remember hatred.She was rescued by someone, and the person who rescued her said that he belonged to His Highness the Fifth Highness.The man asked her to call him Uncle Ji, not only saved her, but also helped her get rid of the uncle who forced her mother to death.

Uncle Ji also said that the reason why His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince was willing to save her and avenge her mother was because there was a valued person next to His Royal Highness. Only then did Uncle Ji take action.

She remembered in her heart that His Highness Fifth was her benefactor, and she would go through fire and water for His Highness, no matter what.Her uncle from the Liang family is also her benefactor, and she will find a way to repay her in the future.

Uncle Ji asked her to enter the palace as a maid, and said that he wanted to repay His Highness the Fifth Highness's kindness, so he went to be a palace maid, and the Fifth Highness would use her in the future.

So she has been working carefully in the palace. The maids have a chance to meet each other once a year. Uncle Ji sometimes comes by himself or sends someone to remind her of the kindness of the Fifth Highness and also give her some tasks.

She is very happy to be able to do things for her benefactor.Concubine De is also good to her, but she remembers her mission, she went to the palace to help His Highness Fifth.

Chu Jingxian is filial, and often collects some delicious and interesting things to bring to the palace to give to Concubine De. This is no secret in the palace.

When that person asked someone to give her the poison, and then sent a message to ask her to bring food to Concubine De the next time Chu Jingxian was about to put poison on the food and put the blame on Chu Jingxian, she hesitated.

However, she just hesitated for two nights before deciding to do it.

Her life was saved by someone sent by His Highness the Fifth Highness, who also helped her avenge her mother.If she can't even handle such a trivial matter, how can she deserve to be called His Highness the Fifth Highness as a benefactor?How could he be worthy of Uncle Liang Zhongxing who pleaded for her and asked His Highness the Fifth Highness to send someone to take action?
Everything that happened later is also included in the confession.

When the emperor saw the confession, Jiang Yi also mentioned the possible loopholes, that is, the palace lady was seventeen this year, and when she was 13, Chu Xinyuan was 16, and he had just requested to go to the battlefield that year.

A prince who has no foundation in the palace and no reliance, goes to the battlefield to prove himself, will he save a completely irrelevant person because of a few pleas from an ordinary entourage around him?
In addition, although this grand lady regards His Highness the Fifth Highness as a benefactor and Liang Zhongxing as a benefactor, all of this is said by that "Uncle Ji". She has neither met Liang Zhongxing nor the Fifth Highness.

So this made the emperor's face darker and angrier.

If what the palace lady said is true, is Chu Xinyuan four years ago already arranging her own forces?
If that Uncle Ji is lying, it means that this bureau has been deployed for four years, and it is only now that it has started to close the net!
No matter which point, the emperor was furious.

And the poisoning of Lao Qi was even more obvious.

As Chu Xinyuan said, if he really wanted to poison Lao Qi, would he send his personal guards to do it himself?How is that different from announcing to the world that he is going to poison Lao Qi?
Jiang Yi has already led people to arrest Uncle Ji, Liang Zhongxing and Yue Xi.

As long as they are caught and interrogated, the truth should be revealed.

But even if it wasn't for Chu Xinyuan, the emperor would not be in a good mood.

Because he thought further.

If it wasn't for Chu Xinyuan, why would the person behind the scenes do such a big game and cover his two sons in it?More importantly, who would do that?
That truth, perhaps he is even more unwilling to see!

But as Chu Xinyuan thought, because he is not the emperor's beloved son, even though the emperor thought that he might not have done it, he still didn't like him, and said coldly: "You are not stupid, you are very smart! This approach! It's also very smart, because everyone will think so, so it's easy for you to clear yourself of suspicion, isn't it?"

Chu Xinyuan: "..."

He lowered his head and said bitterly: "Father, I don't know what the truth of this matter is, and I can't refute it. If my father doesn't believe me, I will put my son in the dungeon too, and wait for the truth." Release it when you understand it!"

The emperor snorted.

Concubine De has already said that she wasn't poisoned, she just ruined her stomach.

But the concubine is poisoned, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated, and must be investigated to the end.If you don't investigate clearly, you have to clear the palace ban secretly.

And Lao Qi almost died of poisoning, this matter cannot be handled lightly, and must be investigated strictly.

So, he paused and said, "Come on!"

Jiang Yi, who had been guarding the door for a long time, came in.

The emperor said: "Put Liang Wang in the prison!"

Jiang Yi said: "Your Highness, please!"

Chu Xinyuan kowtowed, stood up, and followed Jiang Yi down.

At this moment, his heart had already sunk to the ground.

If this matter falls on his head, then his hard work for so many years will be a joke, and the commander of Gyeonggi Guards will replace him soon!
 Thank you for the 3 rewards!grateful! !
