Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was filled with the smell of blood, and even some officials of the Ministry of Punishment would feel a little uncomfortable about it.

Unexpectedly, the second prince Shen Chengjue, who came to the Ministry of Justice for the first time, was so calm and composed.

Chen Yuan was still being tortured, and Cheng Jue walked in quickly, accompanied by Lord Qin, the Minister of Punishment, and Ji Xingwang, the Minister of Punishment.

"All of you, please go down. His Royal Highness the Second Prince has something to ask." Ji Xingwang waved his hand, motioning for the guards to retreat, and ordered his two confidants to keep an eye on the surroundings and not let any news leak out.

Since His Majesty wants Chen Yuan's confession, these words must be spoken through Chen Yuan's mouth.

Cheng Jue sat down on the main seat, while Ji Xingwang sorted and recorded Chen Yuan's words and deeds on one side.

"Chen Tong, how much have you done? Do you want to say it yourself, or do I, the prince, help you tell it?" Chengjue's tone was so cold when he interrogated Chen Yuan. Perhaps he had been with his father and mother for a long time. The tone of his speech was tainted with the aura of a superior person.

Even his uncle Ji Xingwang, who was sitting aside, lamented Chengjue's growth in the past few years.

When he heard His Highness the Second Prince calling him by his real name, Chen Yuan knew that he had failed after all.

"Since His Highness the Second Prince knows everything, why bother asking the guilty minister again?" Chen Yuan said.

When Qin Shangshu saw Chen Yuan being so rude, he whipped him, not only for His Highness the Second Prince, but also for his own daughter and granddaughter.

Chengjue didn't stop him. What would happen if he was whipped more than once when he was about to die?

"You were the one who killed Qiao Fa, you were the one who wanted to assassinate this prince and Young Master Shangguan, and you were the one who slandered Liang Fu."

"You are also the one who wants to kill my aunt, the Fourth Emperor's brother, and the Sixth Emperor's sister."

"As for your sister Chen Chongyi, who murdered Qiao Cainu and the emperor's heir, and slandered the Lin family, are there any of these princes who have wronged you?"

Even if Chengjue and Shixu were injured, it was slander, but at this time, doesn't Chen Yuan have to suffer it?

Seeing that Chen Yuan was silent, Ji Xingwang wrote down what Cheng Jue said in Chen Yuan's tone so that Emperor Yinde could read it.

"And the most important thing is that the person who controls the Fourth Emperor's thoughts is also you."

This is something that the Queen Mother has been investigating for so long, and now she has finally found it.

Chen Yuan is clearly using Chengxuan to take revenge on the entire royal family. If Chengxuan is useful, he will continue to help him with the help of Gao Li. If he is useless, Chen Yuan wishes he would die too.

"Where did you learn the control technique? What is your relationship with the Beiyan people?" Cheng Jue asked sharply.

It was this person who ruined his mother's good plan, causing her to think over and over again and decide to reveal the control technique.

In this case, the Chen family will no longer have a way to survive.

As for Chengxuan, isn't there Yang Shan?

Regardless of whether this matter was Chengxuan's original intention or not, the imperial edict has been issued and cannot be changed.

"You don't have to tell me, then the person who comes to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow may be your elderly mother."

The reason why Chengjue mentioned Chen Yuan's mother was to tell him that he now knew everything about the Chen family's situation.

In the fifth year of Yinde's reign, Chen Yuan's father was seriously ill, and the family had no money for medical treatment. They only hoped that Chen Yuan could obtain a good name and earn more salary, but they did not expect that he would lose his fame.

Chen Yuan's father just left.

That's why Chen Yuan hates the Qiao family, the Shangguan family, and even the imperial power so much.

But Shangguan Xiaolin's ranking as the number one scholar was justifiable, and Chen Yuan could not blame anyone.

"The people from Beiyan told me that during my last battle against Beiyan, a member of the Beiyan royal family told me. As for who that person is, I don't know."

"Maybe he wanted to live, but I still killed him."

Chen Yuan knew what his ending would be, so he felt more calm.

"How to relieve it?" This is the question that Cheng Jue is most concerned about.

In other words, is there any way to allow the queen mother to continue to control Chengxuan?

"There is no way to undo it." Chen Yuan said, "Isn't this just what your Highness the Second Prince wishes?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, my prince." Cheng Jue was not afraid of him at all, and did not intend to talk nonsense with him. Seeing that he had almost asked what he should ask, he turned to look at the small watch that was still recording on the side. Uncle Ji Xingwang.

Ji Xingwang finished sorting it out and showed it to Cheng Jue.

Chengjue nodded with satisfaction. His uncle was worthy of being a scholar, and he kept things organized in such an orderly manner.

It was already late at night, and Cheng Jue, Qin Shangshu, and Ji Xingwang stepped out of the door of the Criminal Department together.

"Lord Qin, I bother you to take good care of this person. Without Emperor Father's instructions, we will not let him die." Chengjue nodded slightly to Lord Qin. He also knew that this was Empress Xiang's father and one of his own.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, please rest assured."

Chengjue nodded and walked away without saying a word.

Tonight, my father went to Xinran Palace to see Empress Xiang and Xiao Xiyuan. He had to show Chen Yuan's confession to his mother.

Su Qingyao read it several times, and there was no problem. Even the story about Qiao Cainu was changed to Chen Chongyi's command to collect chrysanthemums. Su Qingyao praised Chengjue, and Chengjue directly sent Chen Jue to the court after Emperor Yinde went to court the next day. Yuan's confession was presented.

"Presumptuous! Is this Chen Yuan going to rebel?"

There were many people gathered in the Yangxin Hall, not only Chengjue and Shixian, but also important officials in the court. Qiao Fa's father Qiao Bin was also among them, kneeling on the ground wanting to cry without tears.

"Your Majesty, my two children, such good children, have been harmed by Chen Yuan."

There is no antidote to the poison in Qiao Cainu's body. She will die in a year. None of Qiao Bin's three children are left behind.

"I request your Majesty to execute Chen Yuan."

Although Qiao Bin was still in emotion, what he said was the voice of everyone. Keeping such a person would be destined to be a disaster.

"I beg your Majesty to punish Chen Yuan to death."

Everyone in the hall was kneeling, which showed that Chen Yuan had aroused public anger.

Emperor Yinde was even more angry. He could not tolerate such a minister, and neither could the laws of Wanjin.

"Li Fuhai, please convey my decree immediately. General Chen Yuan has committed a heinous crime. He will be quartered on five horses in three days. His family members will all be exiled to the border areas and will never be allowed to return to Beijing!"

"His sister, Chongyi Chen, also committed a heinous crime. She was demoted to a commoner, thrown into the cold palace, and beheaded in public three days later!"

Emperor Yinde's imperial edict determined the outcome of the Chen family, leaving Su Qingyao only three days to take revenge.

Su Qingyao is not someone to be trifled with. Isn't it just to avenge her child that she put so much effort into bringing down Mrs. Chen?

The first time Chen Shuren was thrown into the cold palace, Su Qingyao brought someone to visit.

When we arrived at the entrance of Leng Palace, we saw an incredible scene.
