Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 246 The Crown Princess’s poisonous plan.

The chamberlain bowed and signaled the guards in front of the palace to summon witnesses.

Soon a man dressed as a scholar walked into Shangyang Palace under the gaze of everyone.

Fan Xin!

Everyone was surprised when they saw clearly that the person who came was Duke Yan, who was leaving with his crown on his head.

They never dreamed that the witness called by the Plum Blossom Internal Guard would turn out to be the famous general of the auxiliary country.

I didn't expect that he would also be involved in this case.

Compared to the shock of everyone, Liu Da, the leader of the Imperial Guard, looked extremely gloomy.

In my heart, I wanted to kill Peng Laishun, a loser. I couldn't find anyone to serve as a witness, but I chose Fan Xin, the god of plague.

It's good now. If Di Renjie can't be moved, I'm afraid I'll have to move in too.

really.

When Wu Zetian saw that the witness was Fan Xin, she gave him a cold look.

"Leader Liu, is this the irrefutable proof that Di Renjie is plotting against you?"

Feeling the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes, Liu Da quickly knelt down and said with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I didn't know it would be like this." After saying that, he glared at Peng Laishun and said, "Why don't you quickly explain the reason for arresting Duke Yan!"

Hearing the words Yan Guogong, Peng Laishun knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, when I was investigating the remnants of the Khitan in Yingzhou, I accidentally discovered that Di Guangyuan was secretly having an affair with Li Kaigu and arrested him."

"Then we found this scholar who claimed to be Di Renjie's disciple at the scene."

“I don’t even know that he is Duke Yan!

Looking at Peng Laishun who was kowtowing, Wu Zetian slowly stood up and said to Fan Xin.

"Fan Qing, as far as I know you have returned to Youzhou, why did you show up at Di Guangyuan's house?"

Fan Xin bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have been entrusted by Mr. Di Ge to go to Yingzhou to deliver a letter to his son."

"I don't want the internal guards to break in that night and threaten me to be a false witness."

"I had no choice but to come back."

"So that's the case. No wonder you returned to Luoyang."

After learning the whole story, Wu Zetian nodded in realization, and then looked at Liu Da.

"Is this how your internal guards investigate cases? I'm so disappointed!"

"His Majesty!"

Liu Da knelt on the ground and shouted, his face full of despair.

As an internal guard, he knew the emperor too well. Once he was disappointed with someone, it meant that person lost the value of his existence.

Wu Zetian shook her sleeves coldly.

"Since the establishment of the Imperial Guard, mistakes have never been tolerated. Since you are not qualified, I have no choice but to replace you!"

"Someone, take Peng Laishun to the inner prison and lock him up!

With an order, several guards in cloaks rushed into Shangyang Palace and pushed Peng Laishun and others out of the hall.

When everyone saw that the internal guards were hit, they were immediately encouraged to stand up and ask the emperor to pardon the officials who were affected.

Wu Zetian looked at Fan Xin and said, "Fan Aiqing, what do you think should be done?"

Although she punished the internal guards, she did not want to let go of the officials who were affected.

Fan Xin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the new dynasty is established at a time when everyone is united. I believe that the court should handle the case of Wu Sansi's rebellion with caution."

"The case can be tried jointly by the three judicial divisions and the internal defense department to try to avoid the occurrence of unjust, false and wrong cases."

Wu Zetian took a deep look at Fan Xin and said calmly.

"That's all, let's hand it over to the Third Law Division for trial as Fan Qing said."

"Retreat!"

After watching the emperor leave Shangyang Palace, all the ministers gathered in front of Fan Xin to greet him.

"Xiang Fan, why don't you come back? With His Majesty's trust in you, he will definitely agree."

"Yeah, if you hadn't come here today, I can't imagine the consequences."

Facing the compliments from everyone, Fan Xin smiled slightly and was about to speak when he saw Liuzi walking in.

"Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess's carriage has arrived in Luoyang, it's time for us to greet it."

"You're back so soon?" Fan Xin was startled for a moment, then apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'll go first."

After leaving Shangyang Palace, Fan Xin frowned and said, "According to the journey, there should be two days left. Why are you back so soon?"

"I heard from Wei Peng that Your Highness seemed to be giving birth, so I rushed back to Luoyang at night."

"What! You're giving birth?"

This surprise was no small matter, and Fan Xin was so frightened that he quickly mounted his horse and ran towards Luoyang Station.

According to previous estimates, Princess Taiping's delivery date is at least one month away.

He didn't expect that it would be earlier than expected, and he was both happy and worried at the same time.

Can you bear to leave in such a hurry with two children in your belly?

Just when Fan Xin rushed to Luoyang Station, the East Palace was in a mess.

Clap!

Li Xian said with a livid face as he threw the teacup heavily to the ground.

"Why can't this damn Fan Xin always be alone?"

He originally planned to use the help of internal guards to eradicate Wu Sansi's gang members in one fell swoop, but Fan Xin popped up halfway.

How could he swallow this breath?

Webster sat on his chair and glanced at him in anger.

"While you're still alive, you should think about how to keep your position as Crown Prince."

"I heard that one of Princess Taiping's two unborn children has been named Li Ci by her mother."

"You mean the queen mother wants to make Fan Xin's son the grandson of the emperor?" Li Xian said with gloomy eyes.

"Of course, it's not obvious that there are so many descendants of the royal family and no one cares about the queen, but she just named Fan Xin's son."

"This is unlikely. Even if he is the crown prince, he should still be our child even if he is enthroned as an imperial grandson."

Li Xian did not believe that his mother would make an outsider her grandson.

Upon hearing these words, Webster sneered disdainfully.

"Think carefully about how our mother has treated us over the years. If you want to be granted the title of imperial grandson, why wait until now?"

"I'm afraid you, the prince, are not even as good as a hair on Fan Xin's head."

Thinking of the past scene, Li Xian was silent. Webster was right. He was indeed inferior to outsiders in his mother's heart.

Even Wu Sansi, a nephew, almost became a prince, let alone a grandson.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Webster and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Simple!" Webster said with murderous intent on his face: "Just let the two children in Taiping's belly die in childbirth."

"What!" Li Xian suddenly stood up and stared at his wife.

Wei Shi rolled his eyes: "Look at what I'm doing. If it wasn't to help you keep your position as Crown Prince, I wouldn't want to commit this crime."

"But is there any other way we can go?"

Webster's words left Li Xian speechless. Indeed, he had no choice. Once Fan Xin's son was born, it would definitely threaten his position as crown prince.

When the time comes, as long as Fan Xin rises to the occasion, who will be willing to support him, the unappreciated prince.

"Fan Xin's house is heavily guarded. It wouldn't be that easy to kill the child in Taiping's belly, right?" Shen Si Shao Li Xian said.

"This is not difficult. I have already thought of a countermeasure. Just wait for the good news." Webster said with a mysterious smile.
