After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 62
The emperor looked at the few people in front of him, his anger was not as great as before, and his reason gradually returned.

He knew that the crown prince was usually the most respectful, polite, and gentle, and he didn't seem to have done this, but the voice just now was indeed his voice.

The emperor walked to the top seat, sat down, looked at the people kneeling below, and said: "In this case, I will give you a chance."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Yan Qing'an, but casually pointed at Yan Yiran: "You stopped me just now, now I want you to tell me, if it wasn't the prince who spoke, who would it be?"

Yan Yiran didn't expect that he would be questioned, so he couldn't help becoming nervous, his eyes swept over the people in the hall.

Because it was a small gathering, only a few of their personal servants entered the hall to serve, and now they are all in the hall.

"I asked you a question, why didn't you answer?" The emperor slapped the table and asked, putting pressure on Yan Yiran.

Yan Yiran knelt on the ground, lowered his head, sweating, "Father, please calm down, I don't know."

The emperor didn't look at him again, and turned his attention to Yan Yichen, "Third prince, what about you?"

With the fifth prince in front of him and being questioned, Yan Yichen seemed less nervous, "When I returned to my father, my son only felt drowsy at the time, and I really didn't find anything strange."

Because Yan Yichen had no personal relationship with the ministers in the court, his mother's status was low, and he didn't show any ambition for the East Palace position, the emperor didn't say much after hearing about it.

Seeing that the emperor was about to ask about Yan Qing'an, Xie Chen had done too much for Yan Qing'an today, Gu Hengyu saw that Xie Chen was afraid that she would come out, so he spoke up first.

"emperor."

After hearing Gu Hengyu's voice, the emperor looked at him: "It's okay to say what you have to say."

Gu Hengyu got the emperor's permission, and said: "I heard that there is a folk skill called ventriloquism, which means that someone can make a sound without opening their mouth. This sound is also like the name, and it comes out of the abdomen."

"Oh? You mean that there is someone who knows ventriloquism in this event, and wants to frame the prince?" The emperor looked at Gu Hengyu and asked.

Gu Hengyu nodded noncommittal.

The emperor continued to ask: "Apart from the five of you, there is only the servant next to you."

One sentence made it clear that no matter who did it, the ultimate goal was to win the heir.

The emperor looked at the servants next to the princes, "Venture, if that person insists that he doesn't know how to do it, wouldn't it be incomprehensible? Could it be possible for me to easily turn this matter over?"

Gu Hengyu told the emperor that it was ventriloquism, so the solution to the problem was naturally left to him to think about.

Yan Yichen and Yan Yiran couldn't help looking at Gu Hengyu on the ground, and Yan Qing'an was the same as them, but followed Xie Chen more.

"Chen was curious and playful when he was young, and he pestered the buskers on the street to learn it. He was very annoying, and finally told Chen that although it is ventriloquism, it is not as magical as the name. The voice still comes from the mouth, but the opening is small. , making people think it came from the belly." Gu Hengyu explained to the emperor as if he didn't see the eyes of others.

As soon as these words came out, the problem became simpler, as long as everyone was asked to speak, they could find out who it was, even if they deliberately changed the tone, they would still be heard, and the intention of the person who changed the tone need not be expressed in words.

The little servant standing beside Yan Yichen couldn't help trembling, subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, and everyone in the hall looked at him.

"You first say something for me to listen to." The emperor naturally became suspicious of him.

This young man couldn't bear the pressure, before he asked anything, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life." The voice sounded exactly like Yan Qing'an.

"Third prince, this is someone close to you, please explain to me." The emperor's tone was tired, he didn't expect that it would be the son's person who did it.

If Gu Hengyu hadn't thanked Yan Qing'an for pleading for mercy today, the emperor would have done anything in a fit of anger, and very few people in the palace knew the true mystery of ventriloquist.

Although this situation is easy to break, once it succeeds, the crown prince will be charged with insulting the emperor, violating benevolence and morality, and being disloyal and unrighteous.

Xie Chen couldn't help but look at the emperor. In his previous life, it was his uncle who misunderstood the prince's elder brother, but those rebellious words were not spread. It seems that his uncle doesn't like the prince as rumored by outsiders.

"Father and emperor have learned a lesson, my son really doesn't know." Yan Yichen knelt down and said in fear.

After all, this game is very risky, and when he set up the game, he had already thought of a way out.

"You mean the prince who was harmed by this servant for no reason?" The emperor looked at Yan Yichen, and threw the wine glass on the table in front of him with a "snap".

Yan Yichen still only had one sentence: "Father, my son was wronged, I don't know."

"Okay, the most common sentence I heard today is that you don't know. It was in vain for me to be so smart all my life. How could you be such a stupid person." The emperor slapped the table angrily.

Looking at the boy who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, "Come here, drag him down and beat him to death with a stick."

The young man panicked immediately after hearing this, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was ordered by the Third Prince to do it, and it was the Third Prince."

As he spoke, he was dragged down by the people around the emperor, but everyone in the hall saw his last look at the fifth prince.

If the boy didn't confess Yan Yichen, the emperor would still doubt him, but now that he saw the boy for the last time, he couldn't help but think about Yan Yiran.

It is easier to bribe a young servant than to murder the prince. Once such a dangerous situation fails, he cannot escape responsibility, but if he bribes the people around others to frame him, even if the plan fails, he will not be suspected.

The emperor couldn't make up his mind, so he shifted his gaze to Gu Hengyu.

After Gu Hengyu saw it, he said: "Your Majesty, I think it's still open for discussion at this time, and it's not appropriate to convict now." He gave the emperor a step down.

"Then follow your words, but those who should be punished should still be punished. The third and fifth princes are confined to the prince's mansion for half a month to reflect. Although the prince has been wronged, he should also reflect on whether he was too careless and fell into someone else's trap." The emperor Follow Gu Hengyu's steps down.

"My son obeys the order." The three princes knelt in front of the emperor and thanked him.

After everything was over, the emperor looked at Xie Chen. Just now, Gu Hengyu stepped forward to look at Xie Chen's injury. Since he didn't make a sound, he should be fine, but he still stepped forward to look.

The emperor's foot was heavy, but he didn't practice martial arts in the palace all year round. To Xie Chen, this injury was just a small injury caused by a fight. At that time, he cried out in pain just to draw away the emperor's anger.

"Uncle, you only know now that you came to care about Chen'er, and Chen'er's injury will be healed later." Xie Chen said dissatisfiedly to the emperor.

The emperor was also a little guilty, after all, Xie Chen was protecting his son from injury, and he couldn't control his anger, "It's all your fault, brother prince, I will punish him now..."

"Uncle!" Xie Chen hurriedly stopped the emperor, preventing him from saying anything.

After the emperor heard it, a smile appeared on his face, and seeing Yan Qingan also looked at Xie Chen with concern, the smile in his eyes was even wider, and he said to Xie Chen: "I didn't know that your cousins ​​are so close. "

Saying this, he patted Yan Qing'an again, but this time he patted lightly, "Go back and quickly call the imperial doctor to show Chen'er, you should give me some refreshments."

Some words speak for themselves.

The expression on Gu Hengyu's face became lighter, "Your Majesty, I still have something to discuss with you."

"Let's go, let's go back to the imperial study with me to discuss." The emperor said.
