When Concubine Hua knew that the truth was revealed, she actually wanted to escape.

"Somebody come!"

The weak emperor's low voice and the terrifying murderous aura surrounding him still made Concubine Hua feel terrified.

She stared with horrified eyes and trembled in her voice: "Your Majesty...I didn't...I just wanted to replenish your body..."

The imperial guards armed with swords surrounded Concubine Hua at lightning speed.

Concubine Hua looked at the emperor in disbelief: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? No... It's not a pill, it's a tonic that I give to your Majesty."

At the last moment, she was still making her final dying struggle.

"The imperial physician... the imperial physician said something nonsense. Ask Princess Nan. Princess Nan knows that this is not a pill, but a tonic.

Xiao Yuehan, it was you who harmed me, it was you who asked the emperor to send the imperial physician... you harmed me..."

This bad woman would rather die than drag me down with her. If the emperor is ill, shouldn't he call the imperial physician? Xiao Yuehan was angry.

But the emperor did not listen to Concubine Hua's nonsense. He said sternly: "How dare you say it's a tonic in front of the imperial physician!"

After a lot of trouble, the emperor panted and asked Eunuch Wang: "And the fifth prince..."

Eunuch Wang said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, they have all been captured."

The cause of the incident was that Concubine Hua and the Fifth Prince saw that the situation was gradually tilting towards the Crown Prince.

The emperor didn't give her fifth prince any chance at all.

Now another sixteen pops up.

After conspiring with their staff, the mother and son felt that dealing with them one by one would be risky and the chances of success would be slim.

So they reached a consensus that they should capture the leader first.

So he took no risks and carefully planned a farce of using pills to control the emperor.

Their idea was simple. If they could control the emperor, then the crown prince, the sixteenth prince, and Zi Sangyu would all be no problem.

The emperor was also kept in the dark. If Leng Liu had not stolen a pill and given it to Xiao Yuehan for testing, the emperor would not have been addicted, and she would have continued to deceive the emperor.

Maybe it will work, because this pill will take away the emperor's essence over time, making him a hollow shell, allowing her and her son to control him. Maybe they can achieve their goal.

Concubine Hua must have been wondering, what went wrong? Why was the supply of one pill a day cut off?

Think about it slowly in prison.

The emperor sent Zi Sangyu, his voice cold and majestic: "I will give you three days to find the place where the elixir is made and identify all the people involved.

Once the truth is revealed, they will be sent to death row for retrial. I will dig deep into the ground to find their accomplices."

After saying this, he could no longer hold on, rolling on the bed, gritting his teeth and growling in a low voice.

Zi Sangyu led a team of imperial guards armed with swords, jumped onto tall chestnut horses, and galloped towards the outside of Chang'an city.

The earth-shaking sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and arrived at the place where Zi Sangyu had already known about the Fifth Prince's alchemy.

It is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

Zi Sangyu jumped off the BMW and rushed into the alchemy room like lightning.

There were actually a few guards and Taoists who didn't know what was happening and hadn't received the news, and they came out to stop them.

Zi Sang Yucai rarely had a conversation with him, and with a wave of his hand, the man's head fell to the ground.

When Leng Liu and Jiang Fei saw that it was the prince, they immediately led Ye Chun and others to turn the alchemy room upside down.

When the group of girls were rescued, everyone quieted down.

The soldiers looked at these girls with lifeless eyes and pale faces. Their hearts throbbed.

Those Taoists who were making elixirs were also escorted out.

Zi Sangyu said to Jiang Fei coldly, "You have made an invaluable contribution. Remember to claim your reward when you return."

Then he ordered Ye Chun: "Burn this place to the ground, take all the people back to Chang'an City, rescue the girl and arrange for her to get medical treatment."

After saying this, he jumped on his horse and rode back to Chang'an.

This is the first day, the emperor gave three days.

After returning to Chang'an, Zi Sangyu did not rest. He went to the death row of the Ministry of Punishment and started interrogating several Taoists.

In the cell, he saw that the Taoists who were detained separately were all sitting cross-legged in the dark cell, with iron chains on their hands and feet, and were still performing rituals.

He came to the cell of their chief.

Zi Sangyu sat on a wooden chair, took a sip of black tea, and said, "Drinking tea here is really interesting."

After putting down the teacup, he said with a fierce look in his eagle eyes, "Tell me, was it the Fifth Prince who asked you to do this?

You are too bold, don't you know? In the time of the previous emperor, the nine clans of the clan would be punished for refining the elixir."

"Amitabha, good, good..." The old Taoist pretended to be serious, muttering, "This is not the time of the late emperor. I hope the Southern King will investigate clearly, and I also hope that the prince will pass on this old slave's words to the emperor."

Seeing this stubborn Taoist, Zi Sangyu smashed the teacup in his hand onto the table.

His eyes were covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was even more piercing: "You evil man, before you die, you still want to struggle. Can I pass on a message to you?

I will kill you right now, I don't need your confession."

"You need my confession. The emperor still wants to find the fifth prince's accomplices through this incident. You have to get clues from me, but you won't succeed."

The Taoist narrowed his eyes and kept his chained hand raised.

Zi Sangyu's eagle eyes were fierce, his face was cold and arrogant, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need to investigate clearly. I would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go.

Humph! I want your confession? You want to control me, who are you facing? "

Then he said to the commander of the Imperial Guards: "Commander Lin! Put all of the Fifth Prince's followers in the death row."

"Yes!" The deafening answer shocked every corner of the death row. The prisoners were trembling, knowing that they would not live long.

A voice came from a cell in the back: "My Lord, I am willing to confess. Can you spare my death penalty?"

Zi Sangyu answered loudly: "It is difficult to escape the death penalty, but the entire clan can be spared."

"Does the prince keep his word?"

"How dare you! How dare you question this king!" Zi Sangyu's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate time and space. He looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Leng snorted: "Bring it here~"

The jailer picked up the man and threw him at Zi Sangyu's feet.

When Zi Sangyu saw him, he realized that he was not a Taoist priest, but a guard of a certain rank.

The man raised his head, stared, and looked at Zi Sangyu without saying a word.

Zi Sangyu stretched out his hand, and Ye Chun immediately placed a sword on his large palm. Zi Sangyu's tone was full of contempt: "I don't have time to waste with you, you should go down, your family will be here later."

As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand.

The daring man used the handcuffs on his hands to meet Zi Sang Yu's sword. The head-on collision made a crisp sound and produced dazzling sparks.

Zi Sangyu's eagle eyes were angry, his eyebrows were sword-like, he stood up and swung the knife again.
