My country, you can pinch it

That night, the entire Dacheng Palace was brightly lit, and the imperial guards came and went, taking away many people, causing panic in the palace.

Zhu Yuanfeng knelt on the ground, his face panicked, but his heart was exceptionally calm.

Things quickly became clear during the torture interrogation.

Concubine Jing and King Jing passed things to each other from outside the palace. This matter cannot be concealed at all. The guards guarding the palace gate and Jinghua Palace, including the eunuchs in custody, recruited immediately after the incident. Everyone pointed to Zhu Yuanfeng. , Without the instruction of the supervisor in front of the emperor, they dare not accommodate at all.

And Zhu Yuanfeng didn't deny this point, he wanted to explain a thing or two, but in the end he didn't say anything, kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "This slave deserves to die, the slave deserves the emperor's favor, please punish him!"

Xiao Qi listened to it, and quickly explained with snot and tears, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu is soft-hearted. I can't see Princess Jing begging again and again, so I reluctantly agreed. I checked everything carefully. It’s just some food and needlework, nothing else, please look into it, Your Majesty!”

"It's so courageous. Your Majesty has repeatedly issued five orders not to allow anyone to contact King Jing. Can Mr. Zhu disregard the imperial decree and act on his own if he is soft-hearted?" Qin Hai sneered and said, "I'm afraid I will take this opportunity. Keep it secret!"

Zhu Yuanfeng raised his head when he heard this, "I don't have any slaves!"

"No, then what is this?" Qin Hai held the letter in his hand, "This is what the imperial army found on the servant Xiaofu!"

When Zhu Yuanfeng saw the letter, his face immediately turned pale, "Impossible... The slave ordered that no paper be carried, Xiaofu didn't have my order, how dare..."

"Going out of the palace in the middle of the night, if Commander Wan hadn't happened to meet him and ordered someone to search, the letter might have been in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Qin Hai plausibly said, seeing Zhu Yuanfeng's speechless appearance, he felt relieved, "How dare you say that you have no outsiders? Heart?"

The words "His Royal Highness" made Emperor Shun squint his eyes, and his expression was gloomy. This is obviously his reverse scale, whoever touches it will die.

If he can't touch Liu Ke for the time being, others will have to pay the price!

As if his mind was blank, Zhu Yuanfeng crawled forward subconsciously, grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, and begged: "Your Majesty, this slave has always been loyal and has never had any relationship with His Royal Highness. You believe in this slave! Please bring Xiaofu here , The servant asked to confront him face to face! And His Royal Highness King Jing, the servant really softened his heart for a moment, and agreed to send something to Princess Jing, just for the sake of Miss Quan Wangfei, and also asked to confront King Jing!"

Zhu Yuanfeng swears to the sky and the earth that he still doesn't know what King Jing wrote, so it's not a lie.

After all, he has been by his side for so many years, and Zhu Yuanfeng has grown from a young man to a handsome young man. He has feelings even for a dog, let alone the people around him.

Seeing the tears in his eyes, Emperor Shun was overwhelmed with fright, with a pale and desperate look on his face, moved a little bit of compassion, and agreed, "Go, bring King Jing and Xiaofu back."

When Zhu Yuanfeng heard the words, there was hope in his eyes, Qin Hai looked at it with a sneer in his heart, and respectfully said: "Yes."

King Jing was still waiting for Liu Ke and the emperor to fight to the death. He never thought that Xiaofu was so swearing that he was caught without even spending a night. When Qin Hai brought people to tell the whole story, he hadn't returned yet. Excessive.

Qin Hai was not polite either, and after telling the holy metaphor, he led people to search the house. After a while, he found out the letter that Liu Ke wrote to King Jing, which was not yet hot, and put it in the basket that Princess Jing sent in. Let go, and then said in a toneless way: "His Royal Highness King Jing, please go with the miscellaneous family."

King Jing's knees softened and he almost fell to the ground.He pretended to be deaf and dumb in Jinghua Palace, but unexpectedly capsized in the gutter!

How did Liu Ke become the prince!

Less than half an hour later, Qin Hai walked into the Dacheng Palace with King Jing, who looked hopeless, and the latter fell to the ground with a thud, and his voice trembled, "My son, I send my respects to my father."

Zhu Yuanfeng couldn't help but look back at King Jing, who was also looking at him, with four words written in their eyes—what's going on?

Qin Hai presented the basket found in front of Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun didn't look at the contents of the basket at all, and picked up the letter directly. The letter had been torn apart, and Liu Ke's dog crawled in front of him, reading line by line. In the past, Emperor Shun smiled.

"Lang'er, I never knew that your brothers are so affectionate?"

The laughter was low, as if it was hiding the ferocity, but it still couldn't hide the anger, like the rolling thunder in the dark clouds in the summer sky, it would explode without knowing when, it was frightening.

"Father, forgive me!" King Jing could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

Emperor Shun was not in a hurry to get angry, but when his anger reached its peak, he calmed down and said with a cup of tea, "What's going on?"

King Jing's throat tightened, and he scolded Liu Ke and Zhu Yuanfeng for not being rigorous.Now that the evidence is in Emperor Shun's hands, how dare he talk nonsense, he can only explain it honestly.

However, the more he said that, Zhu Yuanfeng's eyes widened, with an unbelievable look on his face, and finally he shouted: "I am wronged, the emperor is wronged, I never ordered Xiaofu to send any letters, I don't know about this matter." I don’t dare to threaten His Royal Highness King Jing!" Having said that, he looked around and asked with a tearing voice, "Where is Xiaofu, where is Xiaofu?"

"Where is the person?" The key to the matter seemed to be the little eunuch.

At this time, Commander Wan rushed to report, "Your Majesty, the servant Xiaofu has committed suicide just now by taking poison."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanfeng's voice seemed to be choked by the throat, and it disappeared, his eyes widened, his chest heaved and heaved, and he was about to fall.

King Jing was stunned, while Emperor Shun frowned.

"Suicide by taking poison?" Qin Hai asked this question, "Isn't someone watching, where did the poison come from? Who gave him food?" He asked loudly.

"This...he bit the poisonous sac in his mouth, and he died..." Commander Wan's face was ugly, because the accident happened in his hands, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, it is not good for you to do things in a lowly position, please punish! "

So it's a dead end?

Emperor Shun sneered, his gloomy eyes swept across the hall one by one, and finally fell on Zhu Yuanfeng who was on the ground. The latter murmured: "It was intentional, this was to frame the slave on purpose... Your Majesty is clearly aware!" The emperor kowtowed, the bluestone floor tiles made a loud bang, it looked so pitiful.

Ever since Zhu Yuanfeng became the chief supervisor, he has never been so embarrassed again.

Xiao Qi next to him was trembling with fear, he seemed to be frightened, and couldn't remember anything.

Emperor Shun didn't want to listen to anything more, as there were all the witnesses and material evidence, he just waved his hand, "Take it down."

Qin Hai felt relieved, and quickly gave Commander Wan a look, and the latter quickly led his guards to take Zhu Yuanfeng and Xiao Qi down on the ground.

King Jing knelt down obediently, not daring to say a word, his heart was still trembling, he didn't know how the emperor would punish him?

Anyway, he is the prince, so he won't lose his life, but he is just afraid.

Needle dropping could be heard in the hall, no one dared to make a sound, they were holding their breath and vomited in a low voice. Finally, Emperor Shun seemed to remember his son on the ground, and said lightly: "Lang'er."

"My son, my minister is here."

"Since you want to go out so much, let's reunite with your wife and children."

King Jing suddenly raised his head at these words, as if he had heard a hallucination, and couldn't believe it, but then, he deeply felt what the emperor's anger was, "The decree is to seize the title of King Liu Langjing from now on, The mansion is locked up, no entry or exit is allowed."

After speaking, King Jing's body softened, and he looked at the emperor with blank eyes.

He was framed out, without his title, he is nothing.

Finally, the emperor's eyes were clear.

Qin Hai carefully accompanied him, only daring to pour water and tea.

The sky outside was already dim, and before one knew it, the night passed like this.

Even if Emperor Shun didn't care, but being so betrayed by his confidants, fatigue and exhaustion also filled his limbs, making his limbs stiff.

He suddenly couldn't figure it out, "Qin Hai, do you think I treat him badly?"

Qin Hai laughed dryly in his heart, and thought, could it be that the emperor really has feelings for a mere pamper?On the face, he said with sincerity and fear: "The emperor's love for Eunuch Zhu is always considered for him. Even the servants who have been with him for half his life are jealous of him. It is because he is dissatisfied and has failed the emperor's kindness."

This remark made Emperor Shun agree, there were too many people coming and going around him, none of them was as favored as Zhu Yuanfeng.

"Why then?"

"This..." Qin Hai thought for a while and said, "Probably because His Royal Highness is young."

"Haha..." Emperor Shun laughed loudly, and the new cup of tea on the table fell to the ground again. His chest heaved like an old bellows, and he coughed violently, "Ahem..."

"Your Majesty!" Qin Hai was about to serve tea, but found that the teacup had been smashed, so he had to hurry down and bring in another one. At this moment, Emperor Shun's face was flushed from coughing, and he seemed to be coughing up all his lungs.

Fortunately, Qin Hai came in time, took a sip of tea, and finally let the rebellion's throat go down, but it also reminded him that even if he refused to accept his old age, his body would be dying.

"I am still the emperor of Dashun, not Liu Ke!"

Qin Hai lowered his head, not daring to answer.

It's getting late in today's court, and all the officials should have entered the palace gate, waiting in the court hall, but Qin Hai was not sure whether the emperor could still go to court in this state, and finally he asked softly: "Your Majesty, are you exempt from today's court?" Morning?"

Emperor Shun came back to his senses, he let out a breath, "Go and announce."

"Yes." Qin Hai continued to ask, "Slave will help you to rest on the bed first?"

Emperor Shun didn't object, his body was indeed uncomfortable.

Qin Hai watched Emperor Shun close his eyes and lay down. Then he raised a cloud of dust and walked out of the inner hall slowly, with a smile on his lips. When Dacheng Palace was covered by the haze of the emperor, his mood was like a palace. The clear sky outside is just as nice.

However, what he didn't know was that as soon as he left, a more inconspicuous little eunuch walked into the hall and whispered: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Shun opened his eyes when he heard the words, but didn't get up, he just ordered: "Go and have a look, this morning, is the crown prince here?"

The little eunuch didn't ask, "Yes."

"Let the Department of Punishment carefully investigate this matter for me. In this Dacheng Palace, all the servants in the palace should not let it go."

"Yes." And this time the little eunuch hesitated again, "Your Majesty, where is Eunuch Qin?"

"check."

"Yes."

After Emperor Shun finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

And the little eunuch quietly left with tea.

Although it was Zhu Yuanfeng who had the accident and there was no lawsuit against Qin Hai, Emperor Shun was suspicious by nature, but he refused to believe him, so he had to find out the truth.
