Lin Wei's sudden words made Ye Wusheng silent.
He knew Lin Wei's uneasiness, so he didn't hide it, but after hearing this, he figured out what role Lin Wei played in this game.
He used Lin Wei to dethrone Ye Wenxi as the crown prince, but now it was his turn.
Seeing the expectation and uneasiness in Lin Wei's eyes, even if he knew that she had done what Empress Chi wanted, he would still be concerned.
"Yue'er, if we can leave alive, we will stay away from the capital."
Lin Wei's eyes were filled with smiles when she received Ye Wusheng's reply.
She did nothing wrong, as long as Wenxi lets them go, everything will be fine.
However, Lin Wei, who was happy, did not know that for Ye Wusheng, power was much more important in his heart than hers.
Ye Wusheng looked at the cell door, feeling the coldness of the cell, and sneered in his heart.
Leave, of course he will leave the capital if he can live.
If you don’t leave, how can you have a chance to turn around?
At this time, Ye Wusheng hoped that Qi Yuan would come to this prison. How could he let go easily when he felt that the peak of power was just one step away.
He loves Lin Wei, but that's not enough to make him give up the pursuit of rights. As long as he gets to that position, what's the point?
Do you want him to just give up and admit defeat?
Absolutely impossible!
Lin Wei, who was full of joy, had already begun to imagine the future. How could she know that she was just a pawn being used again.
Qi Yuan, who they were thinking about, had already entered the palace.
The ministers who were controlled by the Imperial Guard above the main hall were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground when they saw Emperor Xuan coming out.
There is no doubt that the person who plays chess in the end is Emperor Xuan.
Lin Xiang stood in the main hall and watched Emperor Xuan sit on the dragon chair with steady steps, still calm.
Until Qi Yuan walked into the palace dressed in regular clothes and saw the deposed prince who was completely different from before.
The clenched hands in Xiang Lin's sleeves suddenly loosened.
He lost.
Looking up at Emperor Xuan who was looking up, no one was as ruthless as Emperor Xuan.
Putting the opportunity in their hands like this, if they were not careful, both sides would suffer losses. But he was willing to risk his life, so what else could he not dare to do?
The steward beside Emperor Xuan who announced the decree has been replaced by a new person.
The ministers present listened to the imperial edict read out, and their hearts became cold as the evidence of each crime came down.
On the contrary, Wang Qiang and the others laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their eyebrows.
Reading out the charges one by one, the chamberlain who read them out almost recited them in one breath.
Emperor Xuan was in a good mood after achieving his goal, and he felt even better when he saw the expression on Lin Xiang's face.
Okay, even the pain in my chest is a little less.
After everything had settled, Lin Xiangli straightened his court clothes and straightened his court beads.
Lin Xiang didn't even defend or struggle. He straightened his back and was detained by the imperial army.
Lin and Wei were not alone for long in Tianlao. Soon, not only Prime Minister Lin, but also the group of officials were sent to keep them company.
"father……"
Lin Wei opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say when she saw Lin Xiang who was concentrating with his eyes closed.
The toes were scratched and she felt excruciating pain even when she moved. Lin Wei had never suffered such a sin since she came here.
The faces of those ministers all looked lifeless. Treason was a serious crime against the Nine Clans.
When gambling, one can only see immediate benefits, but when one loses, one will feel despair and worry about his relatives and children.
Seeing the despair on those people's faces, Lin Wei had never experienced this before. The smell of death lingered in the cell, making her uncontrollably afraid.
At this time, with her mind full of love and freedom, she began to feel the horror of imperial power.
Looking at Ye Wusheng, who was feverish and weak due to injuries, the first thing she thought of was Ye Wenxi as she was mixed with fear and worry and had nothing to do.
Qi Yuan followed Emperor Xuan back to the imperial study. The father and son once again sat at the desk and read the memorial.
"Wenxi, what will you do now after seeing these memorials?"
Qi Yuan put down the memorial in his hand. It was about water conservancy in the south. Some of the news that was intercepted by Prime Minister Lin was concealed and some were strongly dissuaded.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to tell whether it was true or false just by looking at it.
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
Those who are killed will be killed and those who deserve punishment will be punished.
There are a lot of talents, and there are still people who take the imperial examination every year and are waiting in the Hanlin Academy.
Emperor Xuan smiled. Although Qi Yuan's approach was simple, it was still reluctant, so the veterans could let go after just looking at it.
In the past, with such a memorial, it is estimated that this child would have been able to give some immunity to the families of those officials.
But sometimes the law is ruthless. This is a warning and an example to those who come after us.
To be too kind to the king is to be unkind to the people.
For several days, Qi Yuan went to the Imperial Study Room to look at the piles of memorials with Emperor Xuan, and saw the past from the near.
Emperor Xuan became more and more satisfied and relieved with the answers given by Qi Yuan.
Everyone familiar with the matter knows why Emperor Xuan summoned the second prince so frequently.
The secret guard did seek out a miracle doctor, but there was no cure for Emperor Xuan's poison.
Emperor Xuan was not a person who was afraid of death. He knew that it would be unstable if Wenxi succeeded him directly after his death.
There are too many accumulated shortcomings, and I want to eradicate those people without going through trials, especially Prime Minister Lin.
It was too difficult for Wenxi.
Therefore, Emperor Xuan directly took the opportunity to lure everyone out of the water and became Ye Wenxi's executioner.
With his death, he used this crazy and adventurous game to remove all obstacles for Qi Yuan.
Being such a cruel person, he left Qi Yuan with as smooth a situation as possible.
This may be Emperor Xuan's concern as a father.
He established the Xuan Dynasty, experienced wars, and deeply understood the suffering of people displaced when a country was in chaos.
Emperor Xuan had family affection and ruthlessness in his heart.
But more importantly, I care about the people, the country and the country, and I also yearn for a peaceful and prosperous age.
Emperor Xuan knew that the emergence of a prosperous age required a more qualified king, so he trained Ye Wenxi greatly and had higher expectations.
Looking at Qi Yuan's fluent reply, Emperor Xuan patted his shoulder happily.
"Wenxi, I leave the people of the Xuan Dynasty and this country to you."
Emperor Xuan smiled extremely relieved, even though such a purge cost his own life.
But it’s worth it in exchange for an excellent king!
Emperor Xuan patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder, smiled, then his vision went dark and he fell forward.
Qi Yuan hugged Emperor Xuan and sighed in his heart. Some things cannot be changed. She made another choice but made Emperor Xuan choose the most dangerous and cost-effective option.
Emperor Xuan's body, which was hung up with the medicine of tiger and wolf, completely collapsed.
Despite Queen Chi's cannibalistic gaze, Doctor Zhang's hand for inserting the needle did not tremble. Seeing the calm and advanced medical skills, his heart sank even more when he took the needle.
Qi Yuan looked at Emperor Xuan's silver needles and couldn't help but look at Doctor Zhang.
He was the one who pricked her wrist...
Feeling Qi Yuan's probing eyes on him, Doctor Zhang felt that he had already stepped into the threshold of burial.
