Chapter 327

The third prince tightened his fists: "The old fifth used witchcraft to harm the Queen Chunde. The doll was found in the palace of the old fifth. The evidence is conclusive. You can say that I worship demons. Where is the evidence?"

"Jiangcai Si Tianjian clearly stated that there is no human trace in Xiangguo Temple, and people can't climb the mountain even after the heavy rain, so how to send the big stone up? How to engrave the words? Even if someone can send it up and be able to engrave it...it will take time Yes, even if someone can avoid people's eyes and ears, it will take at least one or two days! How did the person who framed him know that Niu Yushi would die in advance, how did he know that His Highness the Fifth Highness would be seriously ill in prison? How could he be sure? Let the boulder suddenly fall into the Xiangguo Temple with the mud flow last night?"

"Si Tianjian said that there are no artificial traces in Xiangguo Temple, so it can't be because the rain washed away the traces?"

"Okay!" The emperor slapped the table angrily.

The official did not continue to argue with the third prince, and kowtowed again to plead with the emperor: "The demon way bewitches the Holy One, build a Taoist temple for him, and the heaven sends a warning, please punish the third prince severely, drive away the demon way, and keep our Daye society safe!"

During the witchcraft case, because the doll was found in the fifth prince's bedroom, the fifth prince was beaten with a stick, demoted to a commoner and thrown into the prison of Dali Temple.

Now the third prince is also involved, and the judge said yes to the fifth prince. Firstly, the fifth prince was seriously injured, and secondly, he wanted to use the fifth prince as an example to force the emperor to severely punish the third prince.

At that time, the emperor severely punished the fifth prince for the sake of Empress Chunde.

Then this time the third prince is endangering the country of Da Ye, and this True Yuan Daoist was sent to the emperor by the third prince, and the third prince has no way out!

If the third prince is not severely punished, where will the fifth prince be?

"Let Dali Temple investigate the matter of the giant stone in Xiangguo Temple! See if it is man-made." The emperor looked at Si Tianjian, "As for Taoist Master Zhenyuan... the matter of building a Taoist temple is put on hold until Dali Temple finds out the truth. After that, deal with it! Retire!"

Hearing this, the speech officer burst into tears and kowtowed loudly: "My emperor is holy! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Eunuch Gao followed behind the annoyed emperor, only to hear the emperor ask, "You tell me, whose handwriting is this?"

Eunuch Gao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This... this old slave doesn't know about it! But the old slave thought, just as the courtier said... These few days of heavy rains day and night, it is difficult to climb the mountain, if someone wants to go up the mountain to open the stone, Engraving... It also takes time, Lord Niu just died of his forefoot, His Royal Highness was seriously ill, and the boulder fell on Xiangguo Temple that night, which... is also a bit too coincidental!"

"Niu Yinhui is dead, the old fifth prison is seriously ill, and strange stones are falling from the sky. This is someone forcing me, forcing me to deal with the third! Forcing me... to expel Zhenyuan!" The emperor's eyes were cold.

"Who is so bold! Dare to persecute Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao hurriedly followed the emperor's words.

The emperor stopped at his feet and stood under the eaves watching the pouring rain.

If the boss is still there, in order to seize the heir...to frame the third son, it is possible to uproot the Taoist master of true essence who has won his favor and favors the third son!

But the boss is gone, who could it be?

Second child?

But the second child is afraid that there is no capable person who can do such a thing.

The emperor pursed his lips tightly, stared at the heavy rain for a long time, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and the hand hidden in the dragon robe slowly tightened, and asked Eunuch Gao: "Xie Yunchu has been in prison these few days...except for Ji Jingci. Has anyone else seen it?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, in addition to Mr. Ji, Shiro Xie Yunzhi of the Xie family, and the eldest sister of Lord Xiao Xie, but... they all went to deliver medicine." Eunuch Gao replied.

The emperor rubbed his fingers in his sleeve: "What about after that? Did Ji Jingci go to see Xie Yunchu?"

"Never." Eunuch Gao thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty... But do you want to release Lord Xiao Xie to investigate the matter of the Xiangguo Temple boulder?"

The emperor didn't say a word, turned and walked towards the palace.

·

It was late at night, and Ji Jingci was still sitting under the lamp reading, but he didn't read it.

The heavy damp wind fluttered open the window lattice, and the candle on the table top went dark, almost extinguished, and lit up again in a moment.

Ji Jingci put down the book, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.

Xie Yunchu had not slept well for the past few days in prison.

He felt distressed for Xie Yunchu, but he also knew that he could no longer go to prison at this time.

Xie Yunchu would not have to worry about his life, the more he ignored the matter, the more Xie Yunchu would be supported by the officials of the Censorship when he was released from prison.

Qing Feng hurried in from the outside, and saluted with Ji Jing: "Master, there is a distinguished guest."

Ji Jingci raised his eyes.

Qing Feng stepped forward and whispered, "It's Your Majesty..."

Ji Jingci's frowning brows stretched, and he stood up against the table: "Go and have a look."

When Ji Jingci and Qingfeng arrived, the emperor was wearing his regular clothes and was standing under the eaves of the main hall.

Seeing that the emperor did not bring anyone with him, he stepped forward to salute the emperor: "I have seen your majesty."

Hearing the words, the emperor returned to his senses, and looked at Ji Jingci, his uneasy brows seemed to be smoothed out: "Get up and accompany me for a walk in your yard..."

Ji Jingci stood up straight, motioned Qingfeng to step back, and made a gesture of invitation to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please."

Under the eaves where the tiles are rained down into curtains, there are sheepskin lantern dragons painted with auspicious clouds, and the warm yellow light leaves circles of light on the semi-wet bluestone floor under the corridor.

The emperor asked Ji Jingci to walk side by side with him, and said slowly: "Isn't it right? I also feel that I have been deluded by demons."

"His Majesty is protecting the fifth prince." Ji Jing's words were mellow.

When the emperor heard this, the corners of his eyes and brows illuminated by the warm light showed a smile: "You understand me."

"I didn't understand it before, but when His Majesty came to the door today, Huaizhi understood it." Ji Jingci was the truth.

Ji Jingci didn't spend much time with the emperor, and people's hearts were changeable, so it was hard to figure out, and it was impossible to understand the emperor.

The emperor sighed and walked forward along the corridor with his hands and feet up: "Empress Chunde and the boss are gone, so there is no one to compete with the queen... the third child, not to mention that behind the third child is... Xiao Linwu, who is entrenched in Yinchuan. "

Xiao Linwu is the uncle of the third prince. The original queen and Xiao Linwu's family were not surnamed Xiao, but Li, and they were descendants of the Xixia royal family.

Daye was prospered on behalf of Zhou, and the monarch of Xixia voluntarily offered his land as a minister.

After so many years, after Xiao Linwu's ancestors and fathers competed with the Northern Wei Dynasty, they recaptured Xiazhou, Dingzhou and other places for Da Ye, and supported their troops.

So much so that in order to destroy the first queen's mother's family, the emperor had no choice but to give the post to Xiao Linwu's sister, and wronged the woman he loved the most in this life, the Empress Chunde.

"Huaizhi, to tell you the truth, after Empress Chunde's death, my heart dissipated... I feel like I haven't had a few years!" The emperor's voice was even more desolate than this cold rain, "I, think about it for a moment. My sons..."
