Chapter 289: Is Prince Zhan’s Mansion really planning... a rebellion?

Because the assassins needed to be interrogated, Shen Qinglan simply asked the servants to withdraw and cleared out the front yard.

While Emperor Jingren was changing his clothes, Shen Qinglan had already exchanged glances with Nangong Mingyue. She couldn't help but smile a little, and felt a little relieved.

When Emperor Jingren came out, he sat on the chair that Shen Qinglan had already arranged. Then he glanced at Wang Heng lightly, and Wang Heng nodded immediately and began to interrogate him.

At first, the assassins kept their mouths shut and refused to say a word, but under Wang Heng's torture, they soon began to confess. "Stop, stop beating! We, we will tell it!"

"Yes, Lord Zhan, we are following your orders!"

"Yes! Our War King fought bravely for Dayong, why should we be inferior to others?"

The assassins spoke, but their confessions shocked everyone!

What do you mean?

King of War?

Nangong Mingyue's face changed, and she looked at Emperor Jingren in surprise, and said:

"Your Majesty, this is impossible! How could the War King do such a treasonous thing? Is there a misunderstanding?"

When Wang Heng heard this, he sneered and retorted:

"What misunderstanding? Why did His Majesty leave the palace today? Wasn't it because of the instigation of the War King?"

"Moreover, after Your Majesty left the palace, why didn't Prince Zhan stay by Your Majesty's side and protect Your Majesty? Why did he just happen to leave for something?"

"What do you mean there are spies from the enemy country in the north of the city? Isn't this a fake excuse? I come from the north of the city, how come I have never heard of this?"

Wang Heng said this, and then he knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Jingren with a solemn look on his face, and said indignantly:

"Your Majesty! A traitor like Huo Zhanting must not be tolerated! I am willing to obey your orders and capture him!"

Wang Heng's words made Emperor Jingren's expression turn a little colder.

He recalled what the assassins had said when they were trying to kill him: "To bully a loyal and honest person is a heinous crime."

Is this Zhongliang referring to Huo Zhanting?

Emperor Jingren narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Everyone looked at Emperor Jingren, wondering what he was thinking.

When Wang Heng saw this, he knew that Emperor Jingren was suspicious, and a hint of joy flashed across his eyes. He didn't say anything more, just waiting for Emperor Jingren to make a conclusion.

Nangong Mingyue was already terrified at this time!

Just now Shen Qinglan asked her for help, saying that he wanted to rescue the emperor, and asked her to bring Emperor Jingren to Prince Zhan's Mansion.

But now, she has rescued the emperor and brought the person here, but why do these assassins insist on targeting the King of War?

Could it be that Prince Zhan’s Mansion is really planning... to rebel?

Nangong Mingyue thought about it, then looked at Shen Qinglan anxiously, wondering in her heart the probability of success if she helped the Zhan Palace in the rebellion.

Shen Qinglan, who had been silent, saw through Nangong Mingyue's thoughts at a glance. She couldn't help laughing, but interrupted her before Nangong Mingyue could speak.

Shen Qinglan took a deep breath and said to Emperor Jingren with a sad face:

"Your Majesty, our Zhan Palace is full of loyal and brave people. How could anyone have such a rebellious heart?"

"Besides, these assassins are just accusing the War King without any evidence. How can we take it seriously?"

"How could you not know that it was the enemy who deliberately framed you? Their purpose was to make Your Majesty lose a loyal minister like the Zhan Wang! Your Majesty, the Zhan Wang Mansion was wronged, and the Zhan Wang was wronged!"

Shen Qinglan had already knelt in front of Emperor Jingren, with his back straight, and began to refute in righteous words.

That thin and frail figure seemed to burst out with a powerful force at this moment, which made people feel respect and admiration.

Emperor Jingren raised his hand and said, "Jiashun, you get up first. This matter... is indeed quite suspicious."

After all, if Huo Zhanting really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't send out such a bunch of spineless bastards, right?

After just a few hits, they all started confessing as if they had agreed in advance?

Wang Heng, who was standing by, saw that Shen Qinglan had made Emperor Jingren so proud with just a few words, and said anxiously:

"The assassin has already testified himself, how can it be false? Besides, how could the War King just leave at the right time when Your Majesty needs him? I think he just made up an excuse to get out of trouble!"

"The most important thing is, if it wasn't for the instigation of the War King, how could His Majesty leave the palace today? I think the War King must have made a decision long ago to trick His Majesty out of the palace and then take the opportunity to assassinate him!"

"Your Majesty, please understand! If the War King is not eradicated, then the Great Yong will be in danger, your Majesty will be in danger, and the country will be in danger!"

Wang Heng spoke in an earnest voice and kowtowed several times to Emperor Jingren, looking loyal and patriotic. If others saw him, they would probably call him a loyal and courageous person.

But Shen Qinglan only glanced at him, and before Emperor Jingren could speak, a sneer flashed in his eyes and he said:

"Your Majesty is the chosen one of heaven, and you have the might of a dragon to protect you! Even if there is danger, you will be able to turn it into safety! On the contrary, Lord Wang keeps saying this is dangerous, that is dangerous, as if he is cursing Dayong."

"I……"

Wang Heng was furious and was about to explain himself, but was interrupted by Shen Qinglan:

"Don't be so quick to refute, Your Majesty. Let me ask you a question. Did King Zhan really instigate you to leave the palace today? Did he publicize something that made Your Majesty want to leave the palace to enjoy it?"

Emperor Jingren heard this and thought about what had happened.

Huo Zhanting has been talking about how strict housekeeper Shen Qinglan is all day long, and there is even a suspicion that he is trying to lure him out of the palace.

Even when he was planning to leave the palace, Huo Zhanting tried his best to dissuade him. It was he who gave the order against all odds.

"Prince Zhan did not lure me out of the palace. It was I who wanted to leave the palace." Emperor Jingren told the truth.

"Then your majesty, after leaving the palace, has the War King ever left your side? What this subject means is, does the War King have time to arrange this matter?"

“This… is also nothing.”

Emperor Jingren thought about it for a while and shook his head.

You know, after Huo Zhanting left the palace, he has been following him, and he has no time to deliver the message.

Even though Huo Zhanting went to the north of the city later, it was only a stick of incense before he was assassinated.

Arranging an assassination in the time it takes to stick an incense stick? This is obviously difficult.

Unless Huo Zhanting had already started preparing before leaving the palace, there is still a slight possibility.

But Emperor Jingren also said that before Huo Zhanting went to the north of the city, Huo Zhanting never left his side, and he had no time to inform him or make any plans.

Shen Qinglan looked at Emperor Jingren's expression and knew that he believed in Prince Zhan's Mansion, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Heng was unwilling and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Qinglan again.

Shen Qinglan glanced at Wang Heng meaningfully, then bowed to Emperor Jingren and suggested seriously:

"In fact, Your Majesty, I saw that the people under Lord Wang's command just now did not seem to be good at interrogation. After all, Lord Wang has been the deputy commander of the Jingji Guard for so many years, but he has not yet been promoted. It can be seen that he is indeed lacking in some aspects."

Just one sentence made Wang Heng so angry that he fell backwards!

Shen Qinglan knows what it means to kill someone and destroy their heart!

Wang Heng was so angry that his teeth itched, but Shen Qinglan was completely unaware and continued to speak to Emperor Jingren:

"If we can let the War King come to judge, I think it will be twice the result with half the effort. After all, Your Majesty is also clear about our War King's ability. Of course, now that the War King is involved, it would be unfair to let the War King judge, but..."

"Your Majesty is an emperor who has been through the ages and a wise ruler of the time. Naturally, you have no shortage of capable people who can judge."

When Shen Qinglan said this, Emperor Jingren had already guessed something, and looked at Shen Qinglan and smiled:

"You mean, let the Ministry of Justice conduct the trial?"
