Chapter 349 Questioning the Prince
Shocked, the Holy One took the confession from the eunuch, looked at the assassin lying on the ground, slammed the case, and shouted: "You are indeed the murderer sent by the crown prince to murder the general's wife?"

The assassin looked up, then lowered his head silently.

A person who can admit the facts under seventeen knives is definitely not a hard-headed person. At this time, besides tacitly saving his life, what else can he do?

"Go, call the prince over!"

The Holy One pointed out the door, stroked his chest and coughed again.

He used "call" instead of "please", which shows how angry he was about this in the face of the hard facts.

However, he only asked people to call him the prince, but not the queen, which also showed that he didn't want to publicize this matter.If it reaches the point where it is rumored that the queen will come to see her, then everyone in the harem will know about it.If all the harem knows, it means that all the families of the concubines will also know. When these families know that the prince murdered his wife, wouldn't they have doubts about whether the royal family upholds the principle of benevolence and love to govern the country?For the Holy Majesty, the prince's actions are certainly abominable, but the majesty of the royal family cannot be shaken, let alone the loyalty of the courtiers to the Tian family.

However, now that everything has come to this point, and with Qi Yunhao's foresight from last night, Liuli can't let the Holy Majesty be so friendly.Her scare was not in vain, no matter what, the prince would have to pluck out some hairs.

The crown prince arrived soon. On the way, he thought that he had heard that King Dingbei's family had entered the palace to file a complaint. Perhaps he had thought of a countermeasure, and when he entered the door, he looked calm, but when he entered the palace, he saw the assassin kneeling on the ground. That face has changed instantly.

"The minister's wife greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liuli stood up and greeted the prince with a bright voice.

The crown prince glared at her, then turned back to salute the emperor: "I don't know why the emperor summoned his servants."

"Good job you did!"

The Holy Majesty let out a yell, threw the confession in his hand down, and threw it in his face.

The prince quickly knelt down, picked up the confession to read, his face turned pale when he saw it, and immediately kowtowed on the ground: "Father, please forgive me, this son did not murder his wife, he just admitted to the wrong person and accidentally injured him!"

"How dare you make excuses!"

The Holy Majesty grabbed the stone inkstone on the table and threw it at him again, saying: "She entered the palace by order, and she is equipped with a full set of imperial orders. Even a commoner can recognize her. Those idiots around you can't see it? You said it was an accidental injury?" , Do you treat me as a fool or the whole world as a fool!"

"My son is guilty, please calm my father!"

The prince knelt down on the ground, the sweat on his forehead was like rain.

King Dingbei hummed: "If the crown prince still says it was an accidental injury when the minister's daughter-in-law is surrounded by all the equipment made by the general's mansion, could it be that the prince wants to hurt Yun Hao, and mistook the minister's daughter-in-law for him? "

The prince was shocked and immediately straightened his back.

Murdering the life officer is more serious than murdering the life wife. How can he bear the big hat given by King Dingbei?This matter itself was Duan Wenhui's message to him, saying that once Liuli died, she would be able to divide the relationship between Qi Yunhao and Lu Zhao, so he did it, but can these be said in front of the Holy Majesty and King Dingbei?As soon as he said, even if the Holy Majesty does not abolish him, he can confine him for a few months. If he confines him at this time, then all opportunities will fall to Lu Zhao's side. No, he can't do this.

After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that there was no other way but to settle the matter and admit death, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Dingbei calm down. I admit that I frightened the general's wife once, but I didn't mean to hurt her. Please also Dingbei Wang Wang forgives me this time for the sake of my good relationship with the family. "

King Dingbei glanced at him contemptuously, and said: "The crown prince is serious, and I can't bear to forgive it. Since the intention is just to scare, that's all right, but my daughter-in-law has always been very delicate, so she stayed in bed after being frightened." For a few days, I kept complaining that my stomach hurts, but now most of the adults are not startled, but the children are startled, I don’t know how His Royal Highness will settle this account?”

"This--"

As soon as he hit the snake with the stick, the prince was speechless.Fortunately, my lord said, if King Dingbei wants to make an issue out of the child, he really can't do anything about it!
The Holy Majesty glanced at him who was at a loss, and the impatience and loathing came out again in his eyes.As the saying goes, appearance is born from the heart, a person's heart is dirty, and his appearance is also not on the stage.He really doesn't know how such a person can afford such a huge country in the future?However, the attitude of the old men in the cabinet is as firm as a rock, insisting that the prince cannot be abolished without serious mistakes!

"The crown prince's behavior is negligent, the Holy Majesty will definitely give you justice in the Dingbei Palace. Fortunately, no catastrophe has been caused, otherwise, I will definitely tell the world not!" After all, it was his own son, and the Holy Majesty had to slow down his tone, so Appease King Dingbei.

Liuli raised the corners of her lips involuntarily when she heard the words of the Holy Majesty.Sure enough, he is the king of a country, and his words are tight.At first glance, it sounds like this is to severely punish the prince, but after listening carefully, it means that since no major disaster has been caused, there is no need for the prince's actions to be announced to the world.Will Prince Liuli be abolished because of this incident, but the words of the Holy Majesty sound dissatisfied.This didn't lead to a catastrophe, not because the crown prince reined in the horse and stopped the murder, but because Liuli took a timely response. If she didn't bring so many guards out that day, and Du Rui didn't arrive in time, wouldn't it be a catastrophe? up?
It's too obvious that the Holy Majesty is biased!
Liuli's complexion darkened, and Qi Yunhao's complexion was even worse. He immediately stood up, walked to King Dingbei, and said: "My Majesty, I dare to ask that the wolf wants to eat sheep for no reason, and it's on the verge of eating sheep. Smashed the wolf's teeth and repelled the wolf, can the wolf be forgiven?"

The Holy One was at a loss for words, and frowned, "Sit down! I'm talking to your father, why are you interrupting?"

Qi Yunhao said: "The prince intends to murder the minister's wife. If the minister keeps silent, what face does he have to live in the world? If the Holy Majesty does not punish the prince severely today, the minister will hand over his military power, resign and return to the government!"

Hearing the four words of surrendering military power, the prince's eyes lit up immediately, and he said to him, "Are you serious?"

"To shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, His Majesty had already grabbed the pen holder on the table and threw it at it.Then he pointed at Qi Yunhao and said, "Take back what you said!"

Although the royal family is afraid of meritorious ministers, handing over military power at this time is tantamount to stabbing the emperor in the heart!The soldiers in the battalion were all brought out by Qi's father and son. Qi Yunhao suddenly handed over his military power. The soldiers under him would not think that he did it voluntarily, but would only feel that not only the prince could not tolerate the heroes, but even the emperor was helping the prince. Unload the mill and kill the donkey!This will not bring any benefits to the imperial court, but will shake the morale of the army, and the newly added generals will not be able to control it at all.At this time, there is no need for the crown prince and Lu Zhao to fight any more, the court is about to face the possibility of collapse!
But the prince couldn't recognize the situation clearly, and thought that Qi Yunhao was just impulsive, and was going to grab his words and turn back his army. How could this not make the Holy Majesty feel disappointed and angry?

Following the Holy Majesty's angry shout, King Dingbei also glared and prayed for Yunhao.Although he might intimidate the emperor to send the prince down by doing so, he could not accept the fact that he had been loyal to the imperial court all his life to threaten him with military and state affairs.

But Qi Yunhao looked at the prince contemptuously, and did not deny what he said according to the wishes of the Holy Majesty and King Dingbei.In his heart, he is Liuli's husband first, and then a courtier of the country. Before he has done enough to protect his wife's rights, he will never bow his head even if he is convicted because of this!
Liuli thought for a while and instantly understood the meaning. Seeing that Qi Yunhao refused to repent, she had no choice but to come out and said: "My lord, please forgive me. Yunhao only said such disrespectful words because he felt pity for his concubine. This matter is all caused by the minister's wife, if the minister's wife has something to say, please ask the sage to allow the minister's wife to express it quickly."

The Holy One sighed, raised his hand and said, "Speak."

Liuli glanced at the crown prince and said: "I don't care about the affairs of the court, I only talk about the inner affairs. The last time the empress invited tea in the imperial garden, my wife was in danger. The woman was in danger again on the way to the palace. There are so many high-ranking officials in the court who ordered their wives, but the minister's wife has this honor, and some people have been deliberately dealing with it. The minister's wife thinks, did the minister's wife do something to offend the crown prince? That’s why the prince took revenge like this?”

The meaning of her words is to lead the words to the prince's purpose of killing her. Although she did not directly say that the accident in the Royal Garden was the work of the prince, if the emperor is really wise, how can he not find out? ?The last time it was the concubine, this time it was the prince, that is to say, Liuli must have done something outrageous to make them chase after her so hard.However, everyone knows that Liuli is just a weak woman with no natal background and no extraordinary ability, and one is a monarch and the other is a minister, how could she hurt the prince and the others?
Liuli wanted to use this to pull out the collusion between Duan Wenhui and the Zhongyonghou's Mansion and the East Palace, so that the Holy Majesty had to ask the truth.

Her questioning made the prince stunned for an instant.He apologized to King Dingbei in a low voice just now, in order not to let the Holy Majesty find out this layer, but now she directly picked it out, how could he not be startled?
Liuli glanced at him, and continued: "I'm not as stubborn as our general, but I do have the eldest grandson of the Qi family in my belly, if there is anything wrong with this child, the life debt will be on the prince's head after all. Even if the crown prince wants my mother and son to die, he also wants us to die to understand why we Qijia offended His Highness. If we don’t give a clear explanation, the minister’s wife will not be able to leave the palace. If it’s because I didn’t die this time , but there will be a next time, next time, how can I cope with it?"

As the saying goes, if you are willing to cut yourself into pieces, if you dare to pull the emperor off the horse, there are all the incriminating evidence, Liu Li is willing to cut yourself into pieces right now!
