With the sudden confessions of Guo Xingzhen and Fan Yunxian, the entire case suddenly changed direction.
No one expected that the real masterminds were the two princesses who were under house arrest in Yeting.
Li Zhi sat behind the low table in disbelief, staring blankly at the gray sky outside the hall.
Xu Jingzong and Shangguan Yi looked horrified and were speechless.
For a long time, Xu Jingzong suddenly thought of the origins of the two princesses Yiyang and Xuancheng and their current situation, so he slapped his thigh and suddenly became enlightened.
The biological mother of the two princesses is Empress Wu's sworn enemy Xiao Shufei. Is this explanation enough?
It was so enough, it was so reasonable, even Xu Jingzong couldn't help but want to slap himself, why he didn't suspect them earlier.
The revenge for killing his mother, the resentment for being imprisoned in Ye Ting, and if the art of hating victory is successful, his father will die early. If the victory-weary technique fails, they will frame Empress Wu. No matter what the outcome is, it will be beneficial and harmless to the two princesses' revenge plan.
Moreover, the two princesses were hidden deep enough. Who would have thought that the two princesses who were locked up in Yeting and never saw the light of day could actually make troubles in Taiji Palace?
Thinking about it, the more Xu Jingzong thought about it, the more it made sense.
Shangguan Yi on the side obviously had a different reaction from Xu Jingzong. After hearing the eunuch's words, Shangguan Yi was initially shocked and then he stroked his beard and frowned in silence.
Is it so logical? He and Xu Jingzong had done almost nothing before the mastermind surfaced?
Moreover, Guo Fan and Guo Fan looked like good guys yesterday, but today they suddenly confessed. Is it such a coincidence?
Seeing Li Zhi's dazed look, Shangguan Yi wanted to say something, but didn't know how. After all, the prisoner confessed voluntarily. No matter how suspicious he was, it was not appropriate to say it at this moment.
The palace is very sensitive to the disaster caused by witchcraft. Shangguan Yi is not an old fool, so of course he will not choose to act as a troublemaker at this time.
Li Zhi was stunned for a long time and said in a daze: "They... are actually them? How could it be them?"
Xu Jingzong was more thoughtful, so he first thought carefully about whether the two princesses Yiyang and Xuancheng had a backstage.
Well, no, the grass on the grave of their biological mother Xiao Shufei was taller than a human being. Even if Xiao Shufei faked her corpse and came back to life, with Queen Wu's strength, she could die again, and her death would be clearer and colder.
So Xu Jingzong took a step forward and said decisively: "Your Majesty, the immediate plan is to imprison the two princesses immediately and bring them to trial. The whole country is aware of the disaster of being tired of winning. Your Majesty must not indulge in vain, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the people. "
Shangguan Yi tightened his lips and said nothing, but his face became increasingly ugly.
However, Li Zhi seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned back softly, rubbed his temples with a tired look, and sighed: "That's it. Wang Changfu issued an order and ordered the two princesses of Yiyang Xuancheng to be detained. Zongzheng Temple, the temple minister will bring him for trial."
Outside the palace gate, Wang Changfu bowed to accept the order and was about to turn around and leave when Li Zhi suddenly stopped him.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "Tell Minister Zongzheng that you can be tried but not punished."
Looking at Xu Jingzong and Shangguan Yi in the hall, Li Zhi waved his hands feebly and said: "I'm tired, let's leave today."
In the main hall, Li Zhi sat alone, and the faces of the two princesses Yiyang and Xuancheng flashed in his mind. However, for some reason, the two faces could not be clearly defined. Their eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips were all so blurry, as if they were still there. Stay in their youth.
Living in the same palace, the funny thing is that it seems that I haven't seen them in several years.
When Concubine Xiao Shu fell, the two princesses were implicated and imprisoned in Yeting.
From then on, Li Zhi was busy dealing with Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang to consolidate his imperial power. Then, Li Zhi's health became worse and worse. He was dizzy all day long and could not even pick up a pen to review memorials...
As a result, his two biological daughters really withdrew from his life.
Today I heard the news that they were planning to kill him.
At this moment, Li Zhi's mood was very complicated. He was a little angry and a little guilty. His mind was turning over and over again. In the end, he couldn't decide whether to forgive or kill.
The royal family of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be cursed by God. It was cursed that the price for emperors to gain power was the loss of family ties.
Three generations of emperors, brothers were at war with each other, father and son were enemies, and close relatives killed each other.
Li Zhi originally thought that he was a special case, but today he learned that he was still living alone after all.
"Come here, bring me some wine!" Li Zhi suddenly shouted outside the palace.
Today he really wanted to get drunk and pay homage to the price that being alone was destined to pay.
…………
As the male owner of the new house, Li Qinzai can finally do whatever he wants in his own house.
Technician No. 8 from the Duke's Mansion had to be transferred over, and other technicians would massage his cough.
From now on, we will build a golden basin foot-washing city in the house. We will do a little health care every day, but we are not allowed to take off.
The next step was to cook a meal himself. One was braised and the other was stewed for the wild geese that he had been thinking about for a long time. After they got married, Wu Tong released the two wild geese, which made Li Qinzai quite disappointed. He could not be spared this time.
A grill has been set up in the front yard, and the wild geese are plucked, marinated, sprinkled with various spices, and sizzling under the charcoal fire.
It would be great if Qiao'er was here. The two fattest legs would definitely be reserved for him. Qiao'er was always very generous with the meat his biological father roasted, and would eat every time without any leftover.
The servants in the house stopped from a distance to observe the new owner in the yard.
This new owner seems to be completely different from other dignitaries. I have never heard of him cooking barbecue himself.
However, the new owner has a gentle temper. He smiles to everyone and shows no signs of cruelty. I heard that the new owner was a notorious playboy in Chang'an City back then. Today, it seems that it must be a rumor.
The wild goose is almost ready, and the yard is filled with a strong aroma of meat.
He cut off a piece of leg meat with a dagger and put it in his mouth while breathing cold air.
Before I could taste it, Butler Wu came to report that there was a visitor.
The guest was Li Sujie. Today, the fourth prince seemed to have been drained of his soul and came to Li Qinzai with a confused look on his face.
Li Qinzai glanced at him, did he take the wrong medicine today? He even forgot the basic disciple etiquette. It had been too long since he had been whipped, so he paused to find an excuse to give him a boost.
"I even suspected that you came here because of the smell, and you showed up just after it was baked." Li Qinzai curled his lips in disgust, cut off a leg and handed it to him: "Eat, leave the money for the meal later, don't waste it in vain. "
Li Sujie took the goose leg numbly, but did not eat it. She still sat blankly, like a walking corpse with a broken soul.
Li Qinzai felt strange and asked tentatively: "Do you have any money with you? Hand it all over."
Li Sujie immediately reached into his arms, took out an exquisite money bag embroidered with brocade flowers, and handed it to Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai opened his eyes wide, what happened to this guy? As if being hypnotized, everything is answered.
"The jade pendant is not bad, take it off and give it to me." Li Qinzai continued to test.
