Chapter 614 The culprit (2)
As soon as Emperor Xuan finished speaking, Eunuch Zhao came with a dessert expressionlessly.
This was a snack made by Princess Shouning himself. She made a total of eight pieces that day. Madam Wu and Madam Wang each ate one piece, and she had already returned to the west. Princess Shouning herself ate two pieces, and the emperor and the empress each ate one piece, and the last two pieces were left.
One of the pieces was cut open and carefully checked, and it was confirmed that the snack was poisoned. The last thing left was the piece in front of you.
Two days later, the snacks were not fresh, but the appearance was still delicate and compact. It can be seen that Princess Shouning has indeed put a lot of effort into cooking in the past few months.
The second prince looked at the poisonous snack and looked horrified and frightened: "Father! You can't treat me like this! The tiger is poisonous and doesn't eat my son, I am your own son!"
He shouted at the sixth prince with a dark expression: "Yuanchen! I am your elder brother! Please speak out quickly and beg your father. The father has always loved you the most. As long as you open your mouth, the father will spare my life!"
The sixth prince stared at the second prince with an unprecedented cold look and said coldly: "If it weren't for you, the emperor's sister would have happily moved into the princess's mansion and waited for marriage. If it weren't for you, the father and mother wouldn't have been poisoned!"
"The tiger will not eat the son! But how can a person who is a vicious person who is so vicious to kill his parents, be worthy of being a son?"
Every sentence and word are loud and sound.
The second prince's eyes shot out with a poison of hatred and his face twisted.
Eunuch Zhao had already brought the snacks in front of him.
The second prince was unwilling to submit, and the trapped beast had to struggle even if it was struggling.
The second prince stood up suddenly and knocked Eunuch Zhao away. Eunuch Zhao was knocked to the ground, and the tray in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. The plate containing the snacks was broken, and the snacks also rolled around the ground.
However, no one cares about Eunuch Zhao at this time.
He Qi beside the sixth prince and Pei Zhang beside the dragon couch took action almost at the same time.
The two of them worked together for the first time, but they had an extremely tacit understanding. One of them flew up and kicked the second prince in the leg. The other's fist fell heavily on the second prince's chest.
The second prince was powerless to resist and was hit in the chest with a punch, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Then he was kicked away several meters away, hitting the wall, and then rolled to the ground with a thud.
Emperor Xuanhe on the dragon couch heard the movement and felt relieved in his heart. He snorted coldly: "Come here, serve the snacks to the second prince."
Eunuch Zhao responded, picked up the stained snacks from the ground, and walked to the second prince.
This time, the second prince was no longer able to hurt people. He was breathing heavily, his eyes full of fear and reluctance. He also wanted to scold Eunuch Zhao, who had already pulled a piece of the snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
The second prince wanted to spit out the snacks, but Eunuch Zhao reached out and grabbed the second prince's chin and exerted force. The second prince was forced to open his mouth in pain. The snacks mixed with the blood in his mouth and swallowed them together.
The second prince was so scared that he was scattered and shouted like a wild beast: "Father, please spare me! Father, please spare me!"
Emperor Xuanhe was unmoved and coldly ordered: "Continue to feed him! Let him taste this snack well!"
Eunuch Zhao suddenly smelled a strange smell in his nose. When he lowered his head, he saw that the second prince was wet. He was so scared that he lost his restraint!
You have today too!
Eunuch Zhao was very happy, so he broke a piece of snack and stuffed it into the second prince's mouth. He forced the second prince to swallow it.
The second prince finally broke down!
He burst into tears and cried: "Father, please spare me! My son knows that he is wrong! Those poisons are given to me by the Marquis of Yong'an. It was him who instigated me that I was confused for a moment and did the wrong thing. Father, the culprit is Marquis of Yong'an! If the father doesn't believe it, immediately summon Marquis of Yong'an to confront me!"
"Father, please spare me! I really know I was wrong..."
The second prince's words made everyone change their faces.
Especially Pei Zhang, he held the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, and his eyes were filled with pain.
People cannot choose their own origins. It is his life's misfortune to have such an ambitious and rebellious father. If everything is as the second prince said, a crime of regicide will be enough to destroy the nine tribes of the Pei family!
He Qi also frowned.
Something is wrong!
If, as the second prince said, Yong'an Hou was also involved in this matter. How could Yong'an Hou go to court without any defense? How could he be so shocked when he saw Princess Shouning's body? His instant reaction was purely instinct and could not deceive people.
The poison may have been given to the second prince by the Marquis of Yong'an. However, if you poison the emperor and the queen in the dim, Yong'an Hou should not know about it...
The Sixth Prince seemed to have thought of the suspicion and was about to open his mouth, but He Qi glanced at him meaningfully.
The Sixth Prince's heart moved and silently shut up again.
The second prince's crying and begging for mercy still echoed in everyone's ears: "Father, it was all the Marquis of Yong'an who instigated me to do this. Please spare my life."
Emperor Xuanhe sneered repeatedly, his face full of murderous aura: "Come here, Marquis Xuan Yong'an will come to the palace to meet him immediately. I want to ask in person!"
The sixth prince calmed down and whispered: "Marty of Yong'an is in Erchen's East Palace. The father wanted to see him, and Erchen immediately ordered someone to call him."
Emperor Xuan He, who was full of murderous intentions, coldly said: "Accurate!"
...
The Eastern Palace is not far from Baohe Palace, and it takes only one incense stick of time.
The weather is gloomy today, and the sun is covered by thick clouds. When the Marquis of Yong'an was "invited" to enter Baohe Hall by the guards of the East Palace, there was a roar of thunder in the sky, and it soon started drizzling.
When a disaster comes, people will have intuition beyond their usual circumstances.
At this time, Yong'an Hou felt a tightness in his chest, as if a thousand kilograms of huge rocks were pressing on his heart, and he couldn't breathe.
The door was pushed open, and Yong'an Hou stepped into the dormitory. His eyes swept, and his heart suddenly sank.
Emperor Xuan He, with a cold and murderous look on his face, sat on the dragon couch, with Pei Zhang beside the dragon couch dark and complicated eyes. The sixth prince stood by with expressionless face, while He Qi beside him was solemn and jealous, with his eyes like an arrow.
There was also the second prince, lying in a mess in the corner of the wall, with suspicious traces of water under his body. The corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and his face was distorted due to fear.
The moment he saw the Marquis of Yong'an, the second prince's eyes lit up and his expression was a little strange.
Princess Shouning's stiff and cold face after her death swayed back and forth in front of Yong'an Hou's eyes.
Everything happened! The second prince is afraid that he will not be able to escape this disaster!
What was Emperor Xuanhe who summoned him to come?
He didn't know about this from beginning to end! No matter how brave he was, he never wanted to kill the emperor!
In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Yong'an Hou's mind.
