The emperor almost lost his breath, and the look on his face was even more terrifying.
However, the second prince thought that his anger was directed at Empress Lu and the fourth prince, and he became more and more excited as he knelt on the ground and talked.
If it weren't for the fact that he still cared about other people's opinions and thought about the fate of the fourth prince, he wouldn't even be able to maintain the shock, grief and anger on his face.
"I didn't want to believe this at first, but the fourth prince's concubine died suddenly, and there was a fire in Fengxi Palace. I was worried that the Lu family wanted to kill the queen and her son because of old grudges, so I went to the imperial prison to visit my fourth brother. Who knew But when he was shocked and angry, he unexpectedly learned that when he went to the Lu family to investigate the matter of Prince Cheng, the Guan family kept shouting that he was wronged before he died."
"The evidence of Guan's quarrel with King Cheng is the jade bracelet given to her by King Cheng. It was a gift from the late emperor to King Cheng. However, before she died, Guan shouted that the thing was given to her by the queen and was A few days before the incident, a personal maid named Jin Zhi in the Queen's Palace sent it to the Lu family."
"Afterwards, the Lu family concealed the news and only announced to the outside world that the Guan family and Prince Cheng were just living together. Although the fourth brother realized that something was wrong, he was afraid that the words Guan family said before his death would slander the queen and spread to the public, which would damage the queen's reputation, so they did not go deep into it. Investigate, it was not until the son told him about Lu Yin's trip to Jingzhao Mansion that the fourth brother told him the truth, and the son went to investigate on his behalf."
"Unexpectedly, Erchen's investigation revealed a problem. Erchen's people found Jin Zhi who was said to have died suddenly beside the queen. She said that she escaped from the palace by luck after being silenced by the queen."
"She personally confessed to her son that the jade bracelet on Guan's hand was sent to the Lu family by the empress after she found out that Prince Cheng was defeated. She said that Prince Cheng and the empress had had an affair for many years."
"The queen has been using the fourth prince to coerce King Cheng. She forced King Cheng to change his bloodline and later forced King Cheng to drug Mrs. Rongguo to make it difficult for her to conceive. Even the private weapons of Prince Cheng's palace were prepared for the fourth prince. …”
The second prince spoke eloquently, but everyone in the palace was speechless.
I thought it was the second prince who found out these things, but I didn't expect that the fourth prince also helped.
He knew clearly that Guan had called out the Queen before she died, yet he dared to ask the second prince to help him investigate. So what was the fourth prince thinking about? His own mother had cuckolded the emperor, and he actually helped.
What kind of peerless boy is this?
The second prince only wanted to put the fourth prince to death. He wanted to deny the fourth prince's bloodline and let the world know about the affair between Queen Lu and Prince Cheng, so that the fourth prince would never have a chance to turn around.
He didn't see An Di's increasingly ugly face, nor his barely suppressed murderous intent.
Cui Lin didn't expect that the second prince would investigate more than he did, and that he would actually find the queen's personal maid. He cursed secretly and planned to go back to settle the score with the second prince, so he nailed the Lu family first.
"What the second prince said is true. The old minister also found out that when the Lu family forced the Guan family to cover up Prince Cheng's affairs, the Guan family could not complain because the queen acted carefully and no one could prove the origin of the jade bracelet. However, Lu Zhiyi, the son of Lu Zhao, did not. I saw with my own eyes that the female official next to the queen gave the jade bracelet to Guan in the name of praying for Lu Zhao."
"Afterwards, Lu Zhiyi reported the matter to Lu Chongyuan, but was forced to stay in the house and was not allowed to talk about it. The servants of the Lu family's eldest house even said that Lu Chongyuan seemed to be afraid that the matter would be spread, and he just sat back and ignored the eldest son's serious illness. The intention is to kill people directly like burning Fengxi Palace."
"Empress Lu married His Majesty with a dirty body and deceived the emperor for many years. She and Prince Cheng had no shame. The Lu family confused the royal bloodline and deceived the emperor. They even tried to use the four princes to compete for the throne and change the imperial power. All of this was treason. , If Your Majesty does not punish severely, it will be difficult to set the record straight, and it will be difficult to stabilize the world."
“Your Majesty, please think twice!!”
Grand Master Liang looked at Cui Lin, who was eagerly competing with the second prince to kill him, and felt his eyes darken.
He wanted Cui Lin to "add insult to injury" and use him to help other families break away from the Lu family to ensure that the Lu family's affairs would not involve other families. However, he did not want Cui Lin to explode such a shocking thunder, let alone I thought about asking him to open his mouth and give the emperor such a big green hat.
Listening to Cui Lin's words, looking at An Di's completely dark face, Master Liang was breathing heavily and wished he could faint.
Someone next to him reached out to help him. When he turned to look at Feng Qiuli, he saw that his face was pale and the hand holding him was trembling.
…
Emperor An was so angry that he suffered from a headache and was helped by Feng to retreat. He only ordered the second prince and Cui Lin to stay. In addition, Xiao Yan, Cao Dejiang and Grand Master Liang were also left behind.
The Lu family's affairs did not come to an end in the morning court, but everyone knew that the Lu family was doomed.
Not only the Lu family, Queen Lu, the fourth prince, but also everyone related to the Lu family were all in ruins.
The second prince was very high-spirited, even when he saw Cui Lin's unpleasant expression, he didn't take it seriously.
"Your Highness, what a good idea."
"Mr. Cui was joking. I also learned about this incident by accident. I originally planned to discuss it with Gong Cui after finding out, but I didn't expect that the Lu family's affairs were exposed in the early court, and my father deliberately indulged the Lu family. I had to tell the matter in advance. Come out. Mr. Cui, you seem to have known something was wrong about this matter for a long time. The evidence is conclusive, why don't you talk to me?"
Cui Lin's face turned green with anger because the second prince had complained first. He sneered: "Okay, okay, it seems that Your Highness doesn't need the old minister anymore."
The second prince's face paused slightly, and his expression softened: "Don't be angry, Mr. Cui, you and I both have selfish motives in this matter, but in the end we have the same goal. Besides, now that the fourth child has no chance to get up again, the queen will die until the Lu family is settled." After that, I will help the concubine to be in the center of the palace."
"The Concubine Xian has no children, and my biological mother died at an early age. I envy others to have a mother who loves them. When the time comes, I would like to fall under the lap of the Concubine Xian. What does Cui Gong think?"
Cui Lin's anger froze. He was angry that the second prince was competing with the Cui family for work, but after all, he also had selfish motives. He didn't trust the second prince. He also felt that even if the second prince was in power, he might not be able to help the Cui family much, but If the second prince could adopt his third daughter, then he would also be of Cui family blood.
Concubine Xian is not very old, but with the emperor's current body, it may not be possible to give birth to a child. Even if he does give birth, the situation in the court will have already been decided by the time he reaches adulthood. No matter what the Cui family wants to do at that time, The day lilies are cold.
But it would be different if it were the second prince who was already an adult.
If he adopts a good concubine and ascends the throne in the future, the good concubine will be the queen mother, and the Cui family will naturally be different.
Cui Lin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does the Second Prince really mean what he said?"
The Second Prince: "Of course, if Cui Gong doesn't believe it, he can leave the letter first and never regret it."
Cui Lin felt relaxed after hearing this, and being willing to leave a note meant that he sincerely wanted to adopt him.
He looked at the second prince carefully for a while, then put a smile on his face again: "Your Highness is joking, I naturally believe you, and the Cui family will definitely clear the obstacles for Your Highness to achieve your goals."
The second prince smiled.
