Xie Jingyin was imprisoned like this?

Although Xie Jingyan had said that the eldest prince most likely had evidence in his hands, Shen Wan still couldn't believe it when he actually heard it.

However, she knew that without conclusive evidence, the Minister of Punishment would never dare to put a prince in jail without the emperor's words.

Shen Wan was really curious about what evidence the eldest prince had in Xie Jingyin's hand that could hammer him to death. Unfortunately, Dong'er only knew that Prince Jin had been arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and didn't know the details.

But after she and Xie Jingyan finished dinner, Chen Yu, who went to inquire about this matter, came back.

It all started when the eldest prince received the letter in Shiliting after seeing off the prince of Xiliang and the second prince of Donglie.

The eldest prince knew that the person who sent the letter had no good intentions, but the content of the letter forced him to follow the instructions and go to the place where the letter was written to wait for the person who sent him the letter.

He waited for about a quarter of an hour. Just when he was impatient, a hidden arrow was shot at him.

Although the eldest prince's martial arts skills are not as good as Xie Jingyan's, it is not easy to kill him with hidden weapons, especially since the eldest prince is accompanied by two guards. Their martial arts are not weak, and there are seven or eight guards not far away.

The eldest prince dodged the hidden arrow, and two guards guarded him. The eldest prince said coldly, "Since you asked me to come, why don't you show up?!"

He was answered by cold arrows fired from all directions.

The eldest prince knew that the person who sent the message had lured him here and wanted to kill him.

The guards covered the eldest prince's escape, and the assassins rushed over with fierce attacks. The guards waiting in the distance heard the fight and came over to protect the eldest prince.

It's just that ordinary guards are no match for assassins, and more than half of them will be killed or injured quickly.

The eldest prince knew that he had fallen into a trap, and that the other party was well prepared. He had almost no chance of escaping. However, he still had a glimmer of hope, and that was that Prince Ling and Prince Yanping were having an autumn picnic not far downstream.

The guards delayed the assassin while he went downstream. Even if King Ling didn't deal with him very much, it would be impossible for him to die without rescuing him. Moreover, even if King Ling did nothing, the assassin would not dare to get closer with King Ling around.

After the guard was cut off, the eldest prince fled downstream for his life.

The guards tried their best to contain the assassin. The eldest prince fled for his life. Xie Jingyin was hiding nearby. Originally, he had no intention of showing up. He saw the eldest prince's intention and the opportunity was rare. He asked the eldest prince to find Prince Ling. He was afraid that it would be difficult to find someone like him again in the future. Good opportunity.

Now that he has taken action, the eldest prince must die.

Xie Jingyin didn't even bother to cover his face. He took out the soft sword from his waist and appeared. He never thought about letting the eldest prince leave alive. Besides, the eldest prince should have guessed that it was him.

The two started fighting. The martial arts of Xie Jingyin and the eldest prince should be between equals. However, the eldest prince had already consumed a lot of energy in the fight with the assassin and was no longer a match for Xie Jingyin.

The eldest prince's sword scratched Xie Jingyin's arm, and Xie Jingyin's sword wounded his vital part. The eldest prince was so injured that he stepped back repeatedly, with his back pressed against a tree. Because he was so close, the eldest prince pulled off Xie Jingyin's waist. Wearing a jade pendant.

One of the guards chased him and wanted to kill Xie Jingyin. Xie Jingyin fought with the guard, and the eldest prince took the opportunity to escape.

The eldest prince fled downstream, but he was wounded in a vital part. He knew that the guards could not delay Xie Jingyin for long, so he gave up going downstream and fled up the mountain instead.

That piece of jade pendant was the evidence that Xie Jingyin killed him. If he kept it on his body, if Xie Jingyin's people found it, the evidence would be in vain.

After all, he was someone who could fight with Xie Jingyin for so many years. The eldest prince was not without any strategic skills. He threw the jade pendant into the water, and when he was about to escape, he tore off a piece of the brocade robe and threw it into the river.

Yes, that piece of brocade robe was thrown away intentionally by the eldest prince.

He knew that he was doomed today, but he didn't want to die yet. He was taking a chance. If someone downstream saw his brocade robe, guessed that something was wrong with him, and came to save him, he might still have a chance to survive.

The eldest prince took the gamble decisively.

He won the bet.

Xie Jingyan discovered Jinpao and guessed that something might have happened to him, so he asked Prince Yanping and others to go upstream to search for him.

The eldest prince was hiding in the dark, holding on so he didn't faint. Fortunately, Prince Yanping and the others were short-tempered and uneasy looking for people. He heard their voices. God knows how happy he was at that time. He held on With the last bit of strength, he showed up and was sure to be Prince Yeonpyeong. Unable to hold on any longer, he fainted and fell to the ground.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Zhao Yuanzheng, then Imperial Physician Xu, and finally Doctor Tao.

When he saw Doctor Tao, he was in a trance. Zhao Yuanzheng told him, "This is Prince Ling's Mansion. The Queen Mother asked you to recuperate in Prince Ling's Mansion."

The eldest prince had never been so weak before. He tried his best to make a sound from his throat, but it was so weak that he could hardly hear it.

He didn't know if he could survive. When he was seriously injured and ran for his life, he no longer wanted to be the heir apparent. He just wanted to die in peace.

Xie Jingyin plotted to kill him. It would be okay if King Ling sat in that position in the end. If it were Xie Jingyin, he would be so angry that he would die even if he was under Jiuquan.

He wants Xie Jingyin to die!

While he was still alive, the eldest prince insisted on meeting Duke Mao. Of course, what he wanted to see most was the Queen Mother.

But the Queen Mother was in the palace and could not come out to see him. Even if she came out, she would be surrounded by people, and she would not be able to reach Prince Ling's Mansion in less than half a day.

He was afraid that he wouldn't last that long.

Duke Mao Guo was his uncle and the person in the world who longed for his best.

But Mao Guogong was not enough. He also needed witnesses, so he also called the Minister of Punishment.

The evidence was in the water. It would be more powerful if it came out of his mouth and the Minister of Justice led people to fish it out, and Xie Jingyin would have no chance to quibble.

So after the Minister of Punishment and Duke Mao met the eldest prince, one went to the river outside the city to collect evidence, and the other went into the palace to report to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had also guessed that Xie Jingyin was responsible, but without evidence, she, the Queen Mother, could do nothing about him. Now that the eldest prince had evidence, even if Xie Jingyin was the prince, it would be a capital crime for him to murder the prince!

The Queen Mother was so angry that she didn't even tell the emperor, but directly issued an order. After the Minister of Punishment got the evidence, he asked Mao Guogong to lead people to surround the Prince of Jin's Mansion and arrest the Prince of Jin.

After Duke Mao came out of the palace, he gathered his men and went to the city gate to wait for the Minister of Punishment.

Seeing the jade pendant, Duke Mao and the Minister of Punishment went to Prince Jin's Mansion and surrounded it.

Everyone in the Jin Palace is in danger.

Xie Jingyin also angrily denounced Duke Mao, and Duke Mao did not talk nonsense. The evidence for the eldest prince to accuse Xie Jingyin of assassinating him was not only the jade pendant, but also the stab wound on Xie Jingyin's arm.

Duke Mao Guo attacked Xie Jingyin directly.

Xie Jingyin did not expect that Duke Mao would dare to attack a prince like him. Without any precautions, the brocade robe on his left arm was torn, revealing a newly healed scar that had not yet been removed.

Xie Jingyin couldn't argue with the jade pendant and the wound.

Duke Mao Guo held the Queen Mother's decree and took him to the Ministry of Punishment. As for the other people in the Jin Palace, they did not move. They sent people to guard him and only allowed him to enter and not leave.
