Xiaowei and Jianwei were led by two commanders and two deputy commanders, divided into four groups and began to search the palace.

Qiu Ying was determined to search the East Palace. Fei Zongying, the commander of the Xiaowei, sneered and didn't argue with him. Instead, he turned to search the second prince's Zhaode Palace. The commander of the guards and the deputy commander led a team to search the harem Concubine residence.The rest of the abandoned palaces in Taiji Palace were handed over to Qianwei or Baihu to lead people to search.

The atmosphere in the Lizheng Hall was stiff, and Ye Liuyuan calmly reached out and pressed his calf.

Ye Liuyuan felt that she was the same as the heroine of Gongdou drama. Aren't many Gongdou dramas necessary for the heroine to be punished to kneel for various reasons?God will rain or snow according to the situation, standard bridge section.

He was glad that he was kneeling in the Lizheng Hall. Although it was already winter and the ground was icy and cold, there was still a brazier indoors to keep warm. Ye Liuyuan took pleasure in bitterness and felt that he was at least much better than those heroines.

The prince noticed his movements, and his expression became darker.

The waiting process was long. Ye Liuyuan's original kneeling posture was fairly standard, but later the whole body was crumbling. Everyone present could see his discomfort, but Ye Di still didn't have the intention of calling him up.

Ye Liuyuan also gradually noticed a little bit of strange information in Ye Di's silence.

Although Emperor Ye suppressed what Concubine Su De said about Concubine Shu in order to cover up the scandal of robbing his courtier's fiancée, this does not mean that he has no doubts in his heart, and he has even believed what Concubine Su De said, just in front of him It's not easy to have an attack in front of so many people.

Otherwise, according to how much Ye Di loved him in the memory of the original owner, how could Ye Di let him kneel for such a long time knowing that he had a leg problem.

Time passed bit by bit, until the sun was setting and the sky outside the palace was covered with twilight. The commander of the Xiaowei, Fei Zongying, the deputy commander, Qiu Ying, and the commander and deputy commander of the imperial guards finally completed the search of the palace and returned to the palace. Government Palace.

Chou Ying's complexion was very ugly, but Fei Zongying's face was full of mockery.

"How?" Ye Di asked.

Fei Zongying spoke first, and replied: "Your Majesty, Qiu Ying didn't find anything unusual in the East Palace, but something was found in Zhaode Hall, which I'm in charge of."

Emperor Ye turned to look at the second prince, and said in a deep voice, "Oh?"

The second prince looked at Fei Zongying in disbelief. Fei Zongying didn't care about the second prince's gaze that wanted to hurt him, and said: "Return to your majesty, I found some strange servants in Zhaode Hall, I went to ask I found out that these people are neither the servants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nor the second prince's personal guards."

"After asking, I found out that it was because the Second Prince's legs and feet were inconvenient. Concubine Su De begged His Majesty's grace to personally select the servants for the Second Prince. The minister felt that something was wrong, and went to search for the Concubine De with the commander of the imperial guards. As expected, I found hidden arrows and crossbows, as well as hidden weapons and poison in it."

"I always thought it was strange. Before the autumn hunt started, there were guards clearing the field to inspect the royal hunting garden. How did the assassin get in?" Fei Zongying looked at the second prince with a sneer, and said, "It turned out that the second prince brought him in." of."

"The second prince's body is inconvenient. Only His Highness rides in a carriage during the autumn hunting. The carriage can just hide the crossbow arrows. Moreover, His Highness stayed behind after hunting, and brought a lot of servants with him. These servants took off their outer robes, I am afraid You can become an assassin and sneak into the woods."

The second prince opened his mouth, and was about to defend himself, Fei Zongying waved his hand to ask Xiaowei to bring in the crossbow, and said: "Please look, Your Majesty, this crossbow is exactly the same as that used by the assassin."

"Fei Zongying!" The second prince was extremely angry. He anxiously looked at the crossbow arrow, and then at Qiu Ying. Concubine De was as shocked as he was and couldn't believe it.

"Not only that," Fei Zongying said slowly: "The minister and the commander of the imperial guards also searched out a medicine in the second prince's bedroom, which has been confirmed by the imperial physician to make horses go crazy with fright."

The meaning behind Fei Zongying's words is already clear. The assassination of the autumn hunt is the conspiracy of the second prince and Concubine Su De. The servant next to the second prince is actually a hidden assassin. The startled horse fell ill with legs, and Concubine Su De took advantage of the convenience of the concubine's bedroom to help hide the weapons.

"This...it's impossible!" Concubine Su De fell to her knees and argued in horror: "This is impossible! A concubine is a deep palace woman, how can I get those crossbows? Although my concubine's son is taciturn, With a kind heart, it is absolutely impossible to drug the Seventh Prince's horse!"

"This is a false accusation! It is a false accusation! Your Majesty has learned from you!"

Concubine Su De's gentle and kind mask was suddenly broken, and the sadness that was once a good singer turned into a real panic.

Instead, the second prince remained silent. He looked at Fei Zongying viciously, and then turned his head to look at the prince who was kneeling straight and unshakable like a mountain.

Now, what he still can't see clearly, since the deputy commander of Xiaowei, Qiu Ying can belong to them, why can't the commander of Xiaowei, Fei Zongying, belong to the prince?Moreover, maybe not only Xiaowei is the leader, but the imperial guards may also have the crown prince.

Only then did he feel a great sense of terror, no one had considered that Fei Zongying was the Prince's man, because he was a Valiant Guard!Xiaowei was set up by Emperor Ye alone, and it was his hunting dog. Anyone could get involved in factional disputes, but Xiaowei couldn't.

The Su family and Prime Minister Zuo were in the same faction, in order to make Qiu Ying fall into their side, they even asked Princess Jingping to marry his brother, and let Qiu Ying marry the noble daughter of their family.

But Fei Zongying, the commander of Xiaowei, and the guards in the palace are actually the prince's people.

The second prince only felt horror and absurdity at the moment, which meant that the prince almost controlled the palace with one hand.

Ye Di wanted to suppress his son, who was showing his strength, like an old lion king suppressing a young male lion, but he didn't know that his lion group had already slowly turned to the other side.

In the former dynasty, Zhao Youcheng and his protégés were covetous, the harem was run by Empress Zhao into an iron bucket, and the guards were the eyes and ears, and the imperial guards and personal guards were the left and right arms. It has been decided, the throne is already in his pocket, and now no one can stop him.

It's useless to justify, today's palace search is just a trick set up by the prince, waiting for him and Concubine Su De to jump into Wengzhong by himself.

The second prince thought of this, and he staggered out. Although he tried his best to control it, his natural lameness still made it difficult for him to maintain the majesty and dignity of the prince. Instead of kneeling down, he stood up and suddenly laughed out loud. He said: "Seventh brother startled the horse, but I did it."

Speaking of this, the second prince showed a ferocious expression, and roared: "Yes! He is your favorite young son, Father, Yuxue is cute and smart, so he has attracted thousands of attention and is favored by countless people. But what about me? My mother and concubine is Concubine De, who was born in the Su family of Lanqiao, I am the second prince of my father, and I am your second son after the crown prince."

"But just because I was born lame, and because I can't practice riding and archery, even that idiot of the third prince can ride on my head and insult me! Even he receives more eyes than me! Even his mother and concubine... To be able to become a noble concubine in one fell swoop, even though she is only the daughter of a small military minister, she can surpass my concubine mother!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I know that idiot the third child doesn't want my father's favor, no matter how pretentious he is, he can't get his father's favor. But Xiao Qi can, Ye Liuyuan can, because he is the father's servant. The child born to the beloved who was snatched from the courtier is the youngest son, a child with no congenital deficiencies!"

"Father, do you know how much I hate you? I hate that the crown prince was born one step earlier than me, and I hate that the third son, that idiot, can overwhelm me. I am a spoiled and spoiled second son at a very young age, but I am loved by you! Hate, hate everything... But in the end, the one I hate the most is you!"

"I hate you for rejecting me because of my congenital inadequacies. God doesn't want me, and you don't want me either. I hate you for favoring Concubine Shu and Xiaoqi, and I hate me for being like a ghost in the palace!"

"So, do you think you did all of this?" Ye Di asked in a deep voice, pressing on the second prince with the prestige accumulated over the years.

The second prince was obviously laughing, but the sound he made seemed to be crying. He said: "Today, I have explained everything clearly. I hate all of this, so I drugged Xiao Qi's horse. Let him also have his legs broken by a startled horse, and taste what I have been tasting since I was born. My son also hates the third prince, so when Qiu Ying and the third prince had a grudge, he fueled the flames and hinted that he could avenge his personal revenge publicly, using the excuse of searching The assassin put the blame on him."

"But my son, I definitely didn't arrange an assassin during the autumn hunt. The mother and concubine knew nothing about what my son did. The crossbow bolts hidden in her palace were framed by someone. I admit everything I should admit. But the sons who shouldn't recognize him don't recognize them at all."

"Second prince." Fei Zongying said: "Although I understand your love and protection of your mother, but... this crossbow... was indeed found from Su Defei's palace."

"Shut up." The second prince didn't even look at Fei Zongying, pointed at the crazy old servant, and said to Emperor Ye: "Father, look at that old servant, Father's wife may not be your wife, Father's son may not necessarily be your son. My son doesn't recognize Qiu Lie's assassination, father might as well think about it, who did it!"

After finishing speaking, the second prince stepped forward and snatched the presented crossbow from Xiaowei's hand. Fei Zongying's pupils suddenly dilated, and he shouted: "Guard! Stop the second prince!"

"Wait!" Ye Di realized something was wrong and shouted.

However, the second prince didn't attack anyone, instead he backhanded and stabbed the arrow into his heart.

"My son... this life testifies, there is absolutely no... falsehood."

After speaking, the person fell to the ground in fatigue and lost his breath.

Concubine Su De, who was kneeling by the side, looked at the second prince blankly, and it took a long time to realize what happened in that flash of light and flint just now. Son! Ah! Dust of concubine mother!"

Ye Liuyuan was also stunned by this series of events. Who would have thought that the second prince would be so determined to prove himself in front of Emperor Ye, and what he said just now really caused a lot of shock.

The original owner's fall from the horse was done by the second prince, but Qiu Lie's assassination was not done by him. Then the question arises, was the autumn lie's assassination done by the prince?
