Facing Emperor Yongning's seemingly gentle but sharp gaze, Zheng Xun, who fell to the ground, still replied: "Yes, father, he is the prince! My son... My son was bewitched by the prince, and then... I’m thinking of trading for Deng Wuyou!”
Zheng Xun himself knew very well that he could no longer understand how things had progressed to this point.
Since the prince used the method of mixing true and false, he should do the same.
At present, he still doesn't know what evidence the prince has in his hands, so that his father is sure that he has exchanged a Deng Wuyou, which can only drag the prince into the water.
He started to do it slowly, knelt down in the hall, and said in a flustered voice: "Father, it was my fault. I shouldn't have had such evil intentions at the beginning, but... that one tree, Deng Wuyou, is here." It was stolen the day I left the palace and opened my mansion."
He seemed to be thinking about something, trembled, and then said: "Father, the person who stole it was none other than Yun Chunzhi, the former chief minister of the son. He committed suicide out of fear of crime at that time. Father... you should remember it, right? He ...He has a great connection with the Xue family!"
It’s not that Zheng Xun has done nothing over the years.
Playing the role of a playboy and incompetent boy, the places where he hangs out every day are places for eating, drinking and having fun, and these places are the most well-informed.
At the beginning, Yun Juzhi did commit suicide and did not reveal anything, but he also found evidence of his contacts with the Xue family, which he originally planned to keep as a backup to prevent the prince.
Now, I have to take it out in advance.
Will Father believe it? It doesn't matter, he can't get away anyway, so he has to find ways to drag the prince in!
"Tell me, how did the prince confuse you?" Emperor Yongning's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
Zheng Xun was silent and his voice lowered: "Father, it was the prince who told me about the existence of Deng Wuyou. The manager of the internal treasury was not there at the time. My son suspected that the prince had transferred the person..."
These were all conjectured by Zheng Xun in retrospect. Although he had no evidence, but...
What evidence does this require?
What he wants is for the father to doubt the prince!
"Really?" Emperor Yongning lowered his eyes and said, "In that case, let's call the prince to come."
Although the night was already deep, it didn't matter since the prince was in the palace.
What's more, the emperor wants to see someone, which chambermaid dares to remind him that it's late at night?
Soon, Prince Zheng Zheng hurried over. His hair and clothes were not in any disorder, but his eyes were a little confused.
"Father, I wonder what your order was when you called your ministers late at night? The third emperor's younger brother...is still in the palace?" Zheng Zheng asked doubtfully.
His voice had a unique hoarseness, and it was obvious that he had been awakened from a deep sleep.
"Nothing, I want to know about Neku Deng Wuyou being replaced. The third child said that he was seduced by you to steal Deng Wuyou. I want to know what is going on." Emperor Yongning said.
"..." Zheng Zheng shuddered, and the trace of sleepiness completely dissipated, and he finally woke up.
He straightened his clothes and his tone became serious: "Brother Three Emperors, please don't talk nonsense. Something as important as Deng Wuyou is alone in the words. I may have mentioned it to you, but the theory of deception is nonsense. Talk!"
Judging from his appearance, Zheng Zheng combined the advantages of Emperor Yongning and Empress Xue, coupled with the nobility and majesty cultivated through years of pampering and pampering, his overall aura was not a little stronger than Zheng Xun's.
Especially, he was standing at the moment, while Zheng Xun was kneeling, rising and falling, as if there was a world of difference.
What Zheng Xun hates the most is this feeling.
Obviously they are both princes, and even Empress Xue is not as favored as her mother and concubine, but Zheng Zheng is the daughter of the empress, and this status has already destined him to be different.
Zheng Zheng didn't need to fight or grab, everything would be handed to him on his own initiative.
Sometimes, Zheng Zheng can decide a person's fate with just a touch of his finger.
Just like at this moment, the reason why he fell into this embarrassing situation must have something to do with Zheng Zheng!
This is because Zheng Zheng is the prince!
Let me ask, how could he not be thinking about that position? Not only will
If you are greedy, you will use all possible means!
It's a pity that his skills are inferior to others and he has lost now...
Zheng Zheng looked at Emperor Yongning and said with a serious face: "Father, I don't know that Deng Wuyou was replaced, let alone that Master Cheng's death is related to Deng Wuyou. Since the words of the third emperor's brother are true, then it's better to Third Emperor Brother, please tell me carefully. The Third Emperor Brother said that the Deng Wuyou plant was stolen that day, but I remember that I invited guests that day. Could it be that these guests got Deng Wuyou Plant?"
Why did Zheng Zheng ask this? Could it be that he wanted to...
At this time, Zheng Zheng glanced at him, and the sarcasm in his eyes flashed: "Third Emperor Brother, please tell me, who do you suspect has obtained Deng Wuyou?"
Who do you suspect? What he has always suspected is the Dou family!
However, Dou Shiyuan has already gone to Princess Changding's mansion, and maybe he even dedicated Deng Wuyou to Changding!
There seemed to be lightning and thunder in Zheng Xun's mind, which seemed to cut through the chaos and darkness, making him react suddenly.
Cheng Yong's death must be related to Zheng Zheng, and Cheng Yong must be used to deal with Chang Ding and the Jiang family. Otherwise, at this time, Zheng Zheng would not still be thinking of introducing dirty water to the Dou family!
If he revealed his suspicion that the Dou family had obtained Deng Wuyou, then...even if Dou Shiyuan defected to Changding, Zheng Zheng wanted to abolish him.
He has a vicious mind and sinister means.
Prince Zheng Zheng, does he hate Changding so much? why is that?
At the moment, Zheng Xun couldn't think deeply about why. The only thing he knew was that he couldn't let Zheng Zheng get his way.
"Prince, shouldn't you know this matter best? After all, isn't Yun Juzhi yours?"
Zheng Zheng's brows furrowed: "Brother Three Emperors, the more you talk, the more confused you become. Yun Juzhi... isn't he your former long history? Do you remember that he died of a serious illness, right?"
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Listening to what the Third Emperor Brother said, it is obvious that Deng Wuyou was really bought by the Third Emperor Brother. That Deng Wuyou plant is gone. , use it or not, it’s all what you said, Third Emperor Brother.”
As soon as these words came out, even Emperor Yongning's gentle expression darkened slightly.
That's right, no matter what the process of the third child's exchange for Deng Wuyou was, or what his thoughts were, in short, Deng Wuyou was missing.
"Father, I have no idea what is going on, but I believe that even if Lord Cheng dies in Deng Wuyou, half a plant is enough. Then..."
He looked at Zheng Xun and then at Emperor Yongning, but hesitated to speak.
"But it doesn't matter." Emperor Yongning said.
He has always been very tolerant of the prince he relied on.
Zheng Zheng bent down, his tone full of worry: "Father, then...where is the other half of Deng Wuyou?"
