Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Very angry? Is it because Gu told me what's on my mind?"

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shangguan Wan'er's expression in surprise. Her expression was completely different from her usual gentleness. Maybe it was another side of her that no one had ever seen before.

"Does your Highness find it interesting?"

Shangguan Wan'er watched coldly, her furious mood quickly returned to calm, the killing intent in her heart faded, and she looked at Sima Yi with focused and indifferent eyes.Not to mention whether she has the ability to kill, but it is not a good time.

"You're right, it's really not interesting."

Sima Yi thought about it seriously, then nodded in agreement.

"Since you have hatred in your heart, it seems that you have another purpose in staying with the queen mother."

"Then His Highness is going to report to the empress?"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were calm, these words did not disturb her mind, but made Sima Yi look thoughtful.

"I'm afraid the empress Guxiang has already come to a conclusion in her mind."

Sima Yi shook his head, seeing Shangguan Wan'er's surprised expression, he was even more sure of his thoughts.Since Wu shi dared to keep people by his side, she was definitely not defenseless. Shangguan Wan'er also understood Wu shi's thoughts, so she also chose to use her tricks, but the stories in it were not enough for outsiders to understand.

"Your Highness is a smart man, what a pity"

Shangguan Wan'er looked regretful, the matter of the East Palace was a foregone conclusion, she didn't think the prince would have a chance to make a comeback, the Wu family was very afraid of the prince, and would not let go of this opportunity to knock him down in one fell swoop, so even if Li Xian knew After all, what's the point?

"It seems that His Highness is unwilling to give me that item. In this case, Wan'er will leave first."

Before leaving, Shangguan Wan'er didn't think that she would return without success today, but the conversation with Sima Yi completely disturbed her mind. Although she didn't know what it was, she saw Wu's With a tense expression, she guessed that this thing must be very important, and she is bound to get it.

Sima Yi silently watched Shangguan Wan'er disappear, and he was constantly thinking about the way to break the situation, if he waited any longer, he could only sit and wait for death.

After Shangguan Wan'er left, the conversation just now kept echoing in her mind, and her mind was in a mess.

Lang rides a bamboo horse to get around the bed to get green plums.

But not every friendship between childhood sweethearts can have a perfect ending, at least that is the case for her and him. The disparity in status, grievances and hatreds have long been doomed to the end.

Back then, the Shangguan family was implicated in the case of abolishing the Empress. In one night, she went from being an official lady to the court, from not touching the spring water with her fingers to bowing her knees and working all day long. She once asked Mother why everything happened, Mother The mother only told her that the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die.

But how could she be willing, how could she accept that her family was ruined just because of this simple sentence.If it wasn't for the uselessness of the royal family of the Li family, why did Empress Wu have such a chaotic government? If it wasn't for the uselessness of Li Zhi, why did the Shangguan family become scapegoats and a way for Empress Wu to vent their grievances? Much pain.So she hated the Wu family, and hated this incompetent royal family even more.

She met Li Xian by coincidence, but everything after that was no longer a coincidence. She used him to change her situation in Ye Ting. She used him to touch everything she was not qualified to touch, but she had a sincere heart ?Maybe there used to be, but the estrangement is too deep, the person she will never fall in love with is the son of the enemy.

She knew that Ming Chongyan was deeply trusted by the empress, so she used the privilege given by Li Xian to get close to him on purpose. She used him to provoke the relationship between the Wu family and his son, and used him to become the female official next to the Wu family. She knew that he She likes herself, but what's the matter, since she decided to take this path, she was doomed to die forever.If the Wu family ruined the Shangguan family, then Shangguan Wan'er would turn her mother and son against each other. The Wu family loves power, so it would be fair for her to help her call her an orphan, wouldn't it?

Ming Chongyan's entanglement made her upset, and it was true that she made a mistake... This was something she did not expect, but she soon realized that this was an opportunity for Wu to make up his mind to do it Opportunity.Originally, she was worried about whether Li Xian would help her, but the result was unexpectedly smooth, Shangguan Wan'er felt ironic, is it a man's guilt?Li Xian's estrangement was beyond her expectation. Although she didn't understand the reason, she had used him a lot over the years and felt a lot of guilt in her heart, so this unexpected estrangement also made her feel relieved in her heart. It gave her a crucial opportunity.

did she do somethingNo, actually she didn't do anything, she just took advantage of people's hearts and magnified them infinitely.If the Wu family wants to dominate the world, the first to bear the brunt are her parents and children, so why should she do anything, all she needs to do is wait for her self-destruction.

Shangguan Wan'er thought of Sima Yi who was now locked up in the cold palace, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"No wonder the queen admires you, it turns out that you are essentially the same kind of people"

These were the last words Sima Yi said to her.

A class of people?In order to achieve the goal, use any means?But no matter what, all she wants is the final result.

Shangguan Wan'er turned her head and took a deep look in the direction of Sima Yi's palace. After recovering, the confusion on her face disappeared, and her eyes were filled with endless cold light.

#************

Regarding the prince's treason case, a conclusion has not been reached for a long time. There are different opinions in Chang'an City. Li Zhi negotiated with the Wu family many times, and finally decided to send Xue Yuanchao, Gao Zhizhou and the new prime minister Pei Yan to investigate the matter, hoping to get room for change.

Xue Pei and the others were also very troubled when they received the imperial decree. There was a disagreement between the emperor and the empress. Those subordinates were also in a dilemma, and no one wanted to offend.What's more, the current crown prince has supervised the country many times, and they are satisfied with their conduct and ability, so they don't believe that such a wise and wise Crown Prince would do such a stupid thing, so everyone knows the secret behind it. bright.The dictatorship of the Wu family, the weakness of the Li family, and the fall of the imperial power, they are naturally sad for the courtiers, but not everyone has the same courage as the Shangguan back then. I am not afraid of life and death, but if the family and family are involved, I have to think deeply.What's more, hundreds of armor and weapons were found in the East Palace, such physical evidence was placed in front of everyone, even a thousand mouths would not be able to tell clearly, so several people thought about it.

"Your Highness—"

Sima Yi stood in the lobby. As a prince, even though he was still charged with crimes, he didn't need to kneel down. The three adults were very polite at this time. No matter what the outcome was, the status of Prince Sima Yi would not change in any way.

The three looked at each other, and after a few moments of deliberation, it was Xue who spoke first. "Your Highness has offended me, may I ask what your Highness thinks about the armor found in the East Palace?"

"This must be someone who wants to frame Yu Gu. The king is also shocked by the fact that these things are hidden in the East Palace. Think about it, my lords. Gu is already the king of the crown prince. Why are you willing to take the risk that the world will not violate it?" When such a thing happens, you will not be alone in emotion and reason, do you adults think so?"

The three of them nodded, and the reasoning was the same, but now that the evidence was in front of them, it was definitely not something that could be bypassed with a simple explanation.

"Then is there anyone who doubts His Highness?"

"...No, this person has deep thoughts, his whereabouts are secretive, and he will be alone for a while..."

Sima Yi really wanted to talk about the Wu family, but he was afraid that as soon as he uttered the words, he would be charged with the crime of unfilial piety. He had absolutely no evidence to prove that it was the Wu family who did it.

"Your Highness is the master of the East Palace, and hundreds of weapons are not a small number. Could it be that His Highness didn't notice it at all?"

As soon as Prime Minister Pei Yan spoke, everyone's attention returned to Sima Yi, and there was some suspicion in their eyes.That's right, these hundreds of armaments were secretly sent to the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince has strict control over the Eastern Palace. How could he not notice it at all? Could it be that the Crown Prince...

Sima Yi took a deep look at Pei Yan, and then calmly explained.

"I'm ashamed to say that this is indeed Gu's mistake. I think the mastermind behind this scene must have bribed someone Gu trusts. That's why such a big omission happened under Gu's nose. The three adults might as well start with the people around Gu. Check it out, sit upright, the three adults will be able to return the truth alone."

The three adults showed embarrassment. You must know that the investigators are most afraid of running into this royal person. If you can't beat them, you won't be able to scold them, let alone lynching to extract a confession. What's more, the one standing in front of you is still the crown prince, so Sima Yi bites his tongue tightly. However, they, the ministers, had nothing to do. The situation became stalemate for a while, and they all considered whether to report to the emperor in this way first, and wait for the decision of those two.

At this time, Prime Minister Pei Yan's servants came in suddenly, and whispered a few words in his ear, Pei Yan's mouth curled into a smile, his eyes suddenly looked at Sima Yi, Sima Yi's heart immediately I think things might be a little bad.

"Your Highness, there is someone who wants to see you, maybe seeing him will change your mind"

Pei Yan's tone was inexplicably confident.

"Hearing what Mr. Pei said, I'm so lonely that I really want to meet you."

Not seeing Sima Yi's panic, Pei Yan's heart was a little bit less happy because he found someone, but he didn't show it at all. He ordered his servants to bring him up.

As soon as the person appeared in front of Sima Yi, Sima Yi's expression darkened immediately.

What an unexpected person!

"Your Highness—"

As soon as the person came in, his eyes fell on Sima Yi's face immediately. Seeing the suppressed anger on Sima Yi's face, his face turned pale and his voice showed timidity, but he still mustered up his courage and walked in, kneeling on the ground. On the cold floor, he no longer dared to look directly at Sima Yi.

The author has something to say: For someone in the comment area who said that Sima Yi was stupid, the explanation is as follows: Please don’t underestimate the IQ of ancient people. Modern people can naturally think of it. Why don’t you rebel? It must be because conditions do not allow it. The military power is in the hands of no one will be in the hands of the prince. Rebellion is not a simple matter, not to mention that this incident happened too suddenly. at this point.
