When the people from the Imperial Medical Office withdrew from the palace, the Second Prince and Cui Lin had already arrived in front of the Yulong Platform.
Seeing that there were more and more people in the palace around them, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not speak anymore. They just stood in front of the palace and waited for the summons from inside.
Cao Dejiang and Grand Master Liang stood inside, looking at Xiao Yan kneeling on the ground and Emperor An with a scowl on his face, all with complicated emotions.
"The humble minister is guilty, please punish him."
"You are guilty!" Emperor An glared at Xiao Yan: "Have I ever said that no one else is allowed to interfere in the Lu family's affairs?!"
Xiao Yan's face was still a little pale: "Weichen did follow the holy will. After the Lu family was imprisoned, the Privy Council immediately banned anyone from approaching the Lu family. All interrogations were handled by Weichen himself, and he did not dare to go through it at all. The hands of others.”
"The second prince tried to inquire about the information from me several times but was blocked by me. But Weichen didn't expect that he would find the fourth prince, let alone that the fourth prince would tell him about the jade bracelet..."
He almost said directly that the fourth prince was like a mallet. Who would have thought that he would dig a hole for his own mother?
Seeing that Emperor An was choked up, Xiao Yancai continued: "Wei Chen has never let outsiders come into contact with the Lu family. The eldest member of the Lu family, Lu Zhiyi, is seriously ill at a young age and may be in danger of his life. Wei Chen doesn't know that Your Majesty How to deal with the Lu family? I was afraid of missing His Majesty's affairs, so I had to let the people from the Imperial Medical Office take care of him, but I only let him stay outside for less than two days."
"Who would have thought that Cui Shangshu could bribe people from the Imperial Medical Office and secretly get information from a childish mouth."
"As for the golden branches beside the Queen..."
Xiao Yan's face looked even more like he didn't want to speak: "When the minister was seriously injured and stayed in the palace to recuperate, the whole palace was under the care of Commander Yu and others."
"When His Majesty ordered Wei Chen to interrogate the Lu family, Jin Zhi had already been reported to have died violently, and her file was removed from the palace. Everyone knew that she was dead. How did Wei Chen know that there was someone with such great ability, who could The imperial guards stole people out of Fengxi Palace right under their noses."
"Wei Chen found out about the Queen and tried his best to conceal it and wanted to tell His Majesty privately, but who would have thought that the Second Prince and the others..."
There was an indescribable expression on his face, and he lowered his head for a moment.
"It is because the humble minister did not do his job well and did not take precautions against the Second Prince and the others in advance. Please punish him."
Cao Dejiang was silent, feeling that Xiao Yan was so vicious. He looked like he was asking for forgiveness, but in fact he just pointed at An Di's head and scolded him for being unreasonable.
The imperial guard in the palace was a close confidant of the emperor, and the one guarding the Fengxi Palace was someone sent by the emperor. The person who exposed the royal scandal in public today was the emperor's own son. He, an innocent and pitiful minister, had tried his best to help cover up the scandal, but who could It can be imagined that the royal family specializes in sticks.
Whose eldest son would make his father's cuckold known to the world?
Sure enough, Emperor An's face turned completely dark, but this time all his anger was directed at the second prince and Cui Lin.
"Go and tell the second prince to come in!!"
Attendant Feng hurriedly trotted out to summon him.
When the second prince saw Feng's wife, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is your father doing now? Is he feeling well?"
Waiter Feng smiled at him and said silently: "Your Majesty is doing well..."
You're not mad to death yet, so that should be considered okay?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty calls you in."
The second prince knew that the main event was coming, and Emperor An was afraid that he would ask him about the fourth prince, so he quickly straightened his sleeves and walked towards the palace.
When Cui Lin wanted to follow, Feng's servant quickly reached out to block him: "Cui Shangshu, your Majesty only sent the second prince to enter."
Cui Lin was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty didn't tell me?"
Chamberlain Feng: "No, Cui Shangshu stops."
When Cui Lin saw that Chamberlain Feng turned around and returned to the palace, he was the only one left outside. He couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little strange.
Emperor An's biography of the second prince must be about the fourth prince's affairs, but why not ask him to come in with him? Is it because he is afraid that they will join forces and want to ask them separately?
If Cui Lin was worried about the second prince taking the lead before, he felt it didn't matter after the second prince expressed his stance just now.
He straightened his clothes and stood back in the open space in front of the palace. He was already thinking about how he would share the interests of the Lu family with other families after the fall of the Lu family. Many of them are for profit for the Cui family...
…
After the second prince entered, he found that the palace was very quiet. Xiao Yan was kneeling on the ground, and Cao Dejiang and the others stood aside.
Emperor An was sitting at the top of the table, with an unclear expression on his face.
"Meet my father."
After the second prince stepped forward and knelt down to salute, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yan beside him, as if he wanted him to give a hint. Unfortunately, Xiao Yan ignored him with an indifferent expression, and his eyes were not as close as before.
The second prince's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that what happened to the Lu family this time was something he did privately. Not only did he hide it from the Cui family, but he also didn't reveal any information from Xiao Yan. As the chief interrogator of the Lu family, Xiao Yan No one found out about Queen Lu, but he found out about it.
Did your father blame him?
The second prince didn't care about Cui Lin because he had no intention of giving any benefits to the family after he came to power. The Cui family and others were just stepping stones for him to rise to power, but Xiao Yan was different.
He was pushed up by Xiao Yan, and even his current status was mostly due to Xiao Yan. He was very aware of the methods of the eunuch in front of him.
If he is offended, then in the future...
"What are you looking at Xiao Yan for?"
The sudden voice from above made the second prince suddenly come back to his senses.
The second prince quickly lowered his head: "No, I just remembered that Governor Xiao was seriously injured after rescuing the driver. The imperial doctor said that his injury has not healed. I don't know why my father asked him to kneel."
Emperor An seemed gentle and did not even speak with anger: "You are considerate. I only punished Xiao Yan for his incompetence in doing things."
The second prince thought that Xiao Yan was really dragged down by him, and he quickly said: "Supervisor Xiao is dedicated to doing things for his father, and even the slightest mistake or omission is not his intention..."
"Really?" Emperor An looked at Xiao Yan: "Since the second prince is interceding for you, just get up."
Xiao Yan didn't even look at the second prince: "The minister is guilty, and your Majesty deserves to be punished. I don't dare bother the second prince to plead for mercy."
Second Prince: "..."
It's over.
I'm really offended.
Emperor An's anger towards Xiao Yan dissipated somewhat when he saw that Xiao Yan made no secret of his hatred for the second prince and did not even give him any face.
He remembered that Xiao Yan had indeed intended to cover up Empress Lu's matter earlier in the court, and had not mentioned it at all. It was all because of the Second Prince and Cui Lin that he had lost face.
Emperor An turned to look at the second prince: "He doesn't appreciate it, so let him kneel down."
He glanced at the second prince up and down, and said with a calm expression: "In the past, I only thought you were too stupid to take on important responsibilities, but I didn't expect you to be able to find out about the queen and her son before Xiao Yan did."
The second prince heard this and said quickly: "It is the duty of the ministers to share the worries of the father. Governor Xiao and the others never thought that the queen and others would be so bold. Naturally, they did not dare to investigate in detail. It was only by luck that the ministers found out these things."
He quickly took out something he had prepared long ago from his sleeves, held it in both hands and handed it to his forehead.
"When my son learned that the queen had deceived the king and that the Lu family had deceived the father, he felt extremely angry. He asked Jin Zhi to write down the charges against the queen and King Cheng. He also sorted out all the evidence obtained from the investigation and asked the father to review it."
Emperor An's face looked a little unclear: "Feng Lai, go and present it."
Waiter Feng only felt a little weak in his legs, so he stepped forward to take the things from the second prince's hand. Seeing the excitement that could not be concealed when he lowered his head, he felt that the second prince was about to die.
After handing the confession to Emperor An, he quickly retreated further.
An Di looked down at the thing in his hand. The more he looked at it, the darker his eyes became.
After a while, he looked up.
"Thank you for your hard work. I was able to find out so much in just a few days."
The second prince raised his head and smiled: "I can do things for my father, I don't feel it's hard..."
boom! !
Looking at his smiling face, Emperor An suddenly turned his face, grabbed the porcelain pillow he was leaning on and threw it towards the second prince's head.
In a rage, the second prince was hit by the porcelain pillow before he had time to react. He staggered to the ground with a bloody head, and the porcelain pillow fell heavily to the ground and fell into pieces.
Xiao Yan, who was kneeling next to the second prince, moved to the side without changing his expression, and pulled back the hem of his clothes that was almost splashed with blood.
Huh~
So dirty!
