Yuan Qingshen went to have his injuries checked, and the entire Chengqing Hall was silent, and all the ministers dared not say anything.

I looked up at the eighth prince, Li Qian looked straight at me, not guilty.I really underestimated Li Qian. He has a good temper and good popularity. He can convince so many ministers to accompany him to impeach the prince before he enters the court. He is an excellent son. If he is more obedient, don't be so outrageous. He is indeed a good candidate for the crown prince.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Not half an hour after the impeachment of the deposed prince just now, Li Yi in the East Palace got the news, and immediately rushed to the Chengqing Palace without stopping.

When Li Yi came to the Chengqing Hall, Wang Qing was also in the side hall to examine Yuan Qingshen's injuries. The three of them walked into the hall together. When Li Yi saw Yuan Qingshen, he was shocked at first, and then showed a very contemptuous expression. After seeing Li Yi, there was a look of fear on his face. I remembered that Yuan Qingshen was a high-spirited person, and it was the first time I saw him show such an expression.

Li Yi first saluted me and said hello, "I will see my father."

"Get up," Li Yi came to me at this time, the purpose is self-evident, I motioned him to look at the scroll that I discarded under the hall, "Look at what good things you have done!"

Li Yi picked up the scroll, and after reading the contents, he knelt on the ground immediately, with a look of grievance, "Father! Father, son, I was wronged. I have never done these things..."

"This scroll was given to me by Yuan Shilang." I looked at Li Yi and said, "Yuan Shilang is your man."

"He framed, he framed my son!" Li Yi denied it firmly, "I don't know why Yuan Shilang did this, my son has no grievances or enmity with him!"

"No grievances, no enmity?! Brother Huang! Feel your conscience, can you say this!" Li Qian couldn't listen anymore, "Look at how you tortured Yuan Shilang into?!"

"I tortured him? Why did I torture him? Don't spew blood!" Li Yi looked at Li Qian and said seriously: "Qian'er, we are brothers and played together when we were young. Are you hurting me like this? !"

"I...I didn't harm you!" Li Qian shouted, "It's obviously you..."

"Okay, okay," I rubbed my temples, and said, "Why are my brothers arguing?! Are you trying to make jokes for outsiders?!" As I spoke, I asked Wang Qing, "Doctor Wang, how did your injury test go? ?!"

Wang Qing was a little hard to say, Yuan Qingshen beside him looked pale, which made me a little puzzled, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate!"

"Yes... yes," Wang Qing saw that I had said so, so he had to tell the truth. He told me that Yuan Qingshen had burns of varying degrees on his body, with burn marks, and his inner thighs were pinched black and purple.The head was bitten off, the other had a ring on it, and a ring on the bottom, so it was useless, and the back was also severely torn.Rather than being beaten, it is better to be abused.

Yuan Qingshen is a man, a romantic and talented man who is well-known in the capital, and many famous ladies fall in love with him. Now that his humiliating behavior is made public, it is a mental blow to him.

After Wang Qing finished speaking, the ministers present were all dumbfounded, probably they didn't know that this kind of thing happened to Yuan Qingshen, Li Yi knelt straight, with a nonchalant expression on his face.

Now that the matter has come to this point and the scars have been uncovered, Yuan Qingshen gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground again, and said humiliatingly: "I also ask the emperor to be the master of the humble minister and treat a minister like this. Datong, is there anything His Royal Highness dare not do?!"

"Presumptuous!" Li Yi frowned and scolded angrily. No one dared to speak so rebelliously in front of him in these years. "How did I treat you?! You speak clearly, Yuan Qingshen!"

"Yi'er," I was very fair, and said: "Yuan Shilang said that the injury on his body that Wang Qing's imperial doctor examined just now was caused by you, and the contents of the scroll just now, do you recognize these things? recognize?"

"My son is really wronged!" How could Li Yi admit it? He knocked on the wall a few times and said in an eloquent voice: "The things in the scroll are all made up by him. He has the ability to find witnesses. Look for physical evidence! Even if Yuan Shilang is injured, it doesn't mean that this is what my son did, he deliberately framed him!"

Li Qian couldn't bear it any longer when he heard this. A man who was humiliated to this extent and exposed on the spot will ruin his reputation in the future. His official career and future are gone. Who would spend so much money To frame people at the price? ! "Brother Prince, Yuan Shilang was originally your assistant, why did he frame you?!"

"Yeah, I also want to know." Li Yi glanced at Li Qian, his eyes were extremely vicious. He really didn't expect that this humble and polite brother should bribe someone to impeach him, "Ben Gong thinks that he treats Yuan Shilang kindly, it is really puzzling that he does not work for this palace, but stands by your side."

Li Yi's words meant something of his own, and he meant that Li Qian bribed Yuan Qingshen to frame him!

Li Qian wanted to take this opportunity to bring down the prince, so how could anyone bite him, "Brother prince, you obviously did something wrong, why did you rely on me? I can't walk steadily, I'm afraid he will be tortured to death by you!"

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled knowingly. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Qian. His eyes were full of evil spirits. He asked sarcastically, "It tastes sour. Why, do you feel distressed?"

Li Qian was still young, and the palace had arranged two concubines for him not long ago, so that he could understand the relationship between men and women. Now that he was asked such inscrutable questions by Li Yi, his face turned red all of a sudden, and his embarrassment immediately appeared , "Brother Prince, what nonsense are you talking about?! I have nothing to do with Yuan Shilang!"

"Nothing?! Nothing, you care about him so much?!" Li Yi looked like a big brother, and comforted him: "Brother Eight Emperors, don't blame me for not reminding you. Knowing people, knowing the face but not the heart, some people don't look at him On the surface, he is very noble, but he may be so coquettish in his bones."

"His Royal Highness!" Fang Huazhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, interrupted with anger. In fact, it was just now that he learned that Yuan Qing was deeply insulted. Their Fang family will be laughed at by other families, but no matter how Yuan Qingshen is still his son-in-law, Li Yi's words are really ugly, "Pay attention to your words! In front of the emperor, please don't use foul language!"

"Foul words?! Fang Shangshu, do you think your son-in-law is too lofty?" Li Yi smiled contemptuously, his mouth was slightly raised, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said: "Then Yuan Shilang is considered a good-looking talent. Ben Gong is not interested in him either, Ben Gong didn't even touch one of his fingers, because it's too dirty!"

Yuan Qingshen trembled slightly, trembling all over, he glared and said: "You...you..." He was so angry that he couldn't complete a sentence.

"Did I say something wrong?" Li Yi was not afraid of Yuan Qingshen's accusation, and everyone's impeachment was not afraid of guilt, "Yuan Shilang, think about it for yourself, whether I have touched you at all!"

After listening to Li Yi's discussion, I nodded, I understood, and asked Yuan Qingshen: "Yuan Shilang, is what Yier said true?!"

Yuan Qing was panting heavily, he raised his head and looked at me, his eyes were red, he didn't understand, he didn't understand why things turned out like this? ! "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness, he is distorting the facts! He...he..."

"How is my palace?" Li Yi was aggressive, as if he wanted Yuan Qingshen to speak out.

Yuan Qingshen glared at him, but suddenly the corner of his mouth cracked and he smiled. He stood up unsteadily, looked around, looked around at the people around him, and then turned his attention to Li Yi, "Hehehe... Hahahaha..." The man became more and more insane.

"Though I, Yuan Qingshen, was born in a poor family, I am also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. I have studied hard for ten years to gain fame. I thought I could serve the court and help a generation of Mingjun. Unfortunately, I met people who were not good. He was tortured inhumanely, and wanted to seek justice for himself, but before the scars were exposed to everyone, who would have thought that he would be bitten back! I, Yuan Qingshen, absolutely did not wrong the prince, at worst, I have died and made my will, so I can stay innocent in the world!"

After Yuan Qingshen finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on the pillar next to him, and before everyone could react, he slammed into the pillar, only heard a bang, and then Yuan Qingshen fell to the ground, a big hole appeared on his forehead, and blood flowed .

Yuan Qingshen's desperation was beyond everyone's expectations. The ministers were still in shock, and the imperial doctor Wang Qing hurried forward to try to save him. He put his hand in front of Yuan Qingshen's nose and shook his head, "No breath!" dead, dead."

Li Yi snorted coldly when he heard the words, and said: "Unlucky, you actually committed suicide in front of the father, so hurry up and take him out!"

The two young eunuchs guarding the side hurried forward and carried Yuan Qingshen's body out.

Li Qian looked at Yuan Qingshen's unsatisfied expression, and his heart was really panicked, "Brother Prince, Yuan Shilang has shown his innocence by death, what else do you have to say?!"

"Oh," Li Yi asked back as if he had heard a big joke: "Is he showing his innocence by death, or is there no proof?! Brother Eighth Emperor, be careful when you speak!"

Seeing the two sons who were arguing endlessly in the hall, I became more and more irritable. I slapped the table hard, pointed at the two of them and cursed, "Shut up, you two!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down your anger..." Wan Fu quickly stood up and helped me up, and I walked down the hall step by step.

"Father..."

I walked up to the main hall, came in front of all the courtiers and princes, and said with a sneer: "You are really my good ministers, good sons, I haven't died yet, and I haven't returned to the West, how dare you stand in front of me?" A big fight?!"

I stared at Li Qian and the group of courtiers led by Li Qian, "You want to support the Eighth Prince so much?" I don't like disobedient sons, I hate him for forming cliques for personal gain where I can't see him, no matter how bad he is Capable, no matter how wise he is, he violated my bottom line.

"Wanfu, pass on my will."

"Yes." Wan Fu supported me and answered with a bow.

"The eighth prince, Li Qian, is disrespectful to his father, disrespectful to his brother, wins over powerful officials, associates with gangs, framed his elder brother, and pretends to be the crown prince! I hereby tell you that I will never consider the eighth prince as the crown prince!"

*****Change the angle of view******

Li Qian forgot how he stepped out of the Chengqing Hall, the sighs of the ministers and the sneering words of the prince were all around his ears, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

What did the emperor say just now?The crown prince will never consider him? !Why? !He is more qualified than anyone else, the crown prince should have been abolished long ago, why did the emperor protect him like this? !

Li Qian walked aimlessly on the small path in the palace, no one passed by here, he really wanted to cry, he thought that this time he could bring down the crown prince and make his father admire him, but not only did he fail to do so , and implicated others.At this time, Li Qian thought of his concubine mother, the concubine mother who was always in front of Concubine Wan, the concubine mother who was proud of him, the impeachment of the prince this time was the first thing he did for his life. He made a decision, but he lost completely, and he didn't know how to go back and face his mother.

Rushing—a sound came from the nearby woods, someone was coming, Li Qian quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince?" A familiar voice came out.

Li Qian looked around and saw that the person who appeared was Su Zhuo, the companion who had assisted him.

"You...how did you appear here?" Li Qian calmed down and asked.

Su Zhuo smiled, "Accompanying Yun'er back to the palace today, I heard some rumors on the way, I know you will come here whenever you have something unhappy, so I came here to see, are you okay?"

Li Qian pursed his lips and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect the news to spread so fast, it's only been two hours."

Su Zhuo came to Li Qian's side, "Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, don't worry about it, Your Highness the Eighth Prince."

"Don't take it to heart?" Li Qian couldn't bear it anymore, he burst into tears, "What do you know?! Do you know what my father said?! Aren't you unwilling to help me?! Come to comfort me now what I do?!"

Li Qian is still immature. He felt extremely guilty about Yuan Qingshen's death, "If it wasn't for me, if I had known more about the situation beforehand, Yuan Shilang would not have died. He was forced to die by me and the prince brother. To die alive!"

"His Royal Highness, have you forgotten what I said to you?" Su Zhuo asked.

"What?" Li Qian rubbed his eyes, he looked at Su Zhuo.

Su Zhuo sighed, and said: "More than three years ago, I told you when I resigned as your companion, even if you intend to fight for the crown prince, you should hide your clumsiness and keep a low profile."

"What's the use of saying this now?!" Li Qian regretted it now. He shouldn't be so impulsive and impeach the prince. I'm afraid that the power of his mother's family behind him and the situation of his mother and concubine in the palace will change. The situation is in jeopardy, "Father doesn't trust me anymore, he has already issued an order before, no matter what crown prince, what kind of throne, I will never get it again in this life!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Su Zhuo looked at Li Qian deeply, "There are no absolutes in this world. Your Highness the Eighth Prince still has a chance. You may not miss the throne."

"Then how should I do it?" Li Qian completely believed in Su Zhuo, because he was his companion.

Su Zhuo stretched out a finger, "One word, 'wait'."

"How to wait? When to wait?!" Li Qian asked.

"Wait slowly, wait until the prince loses power, wait until the emperor dies, Your Highness the Eighth Prince, if you believe me, please wait patiently, during this period, don't participate in any more battles."

"Okay, I believe you." He was willing to pay any price for the throne, let alone just waiting.
