Seeing the Duke like this, Xuan Moyin asked coldly: "Duke, don't you have anyone you want to save?"

The Duke did not expect Xuan Moyin to suddenly ask him this. However, he was the leader of this rebellion. Would Xuan Moyin be so kind as to let his family go?

He finally replied in frustration: "Your Majesty, I dare not. I deserve death. I dare not plead for my family."

Su Luoxue sneered in her heart: It seems that this Duke still has self-awareness.

However, she had just discussed with Xuan Moyin that as long as they were willing to cooperate with them in doing one thing, their families would not be beheaded.

Xuan Moyin glanced at him and said, "Everyone, if you are willing to cooperate with me to do one thing, I can protect your family members from death."

What? Really? The four adults looked at Xuan Moyin at the same time. If this was true, they would be willing to do ten or a hundred things, not just one.

"We are willing to do so. Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing us!" said the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State and the Grand Marshal.

"Really...really, you can, Prince...Prince, can you really...spare my family's lives?" The Duke couldn't believe his ears and asked stutteringly.

"The prince always keeps his word. Everyone, you only have one chance, don't miss it." Su Luoxue said, looking at the four people on the ground.

"Yes, I will keep my word." Xuan Moyin said firmly.

Hearing Xuan Moyin's words, the four of them said almost in unison: "I am willing."

Okay, Su Luoxue took out four antidote pills of the tendon softening powder from her sleeve and handed them to An Yi behind her.

An Yi immediately understood, took the pill handed over by Su Luoxue, and quickly walked to the four people.

He quickly stuffed a pill into the four people's mouths, "These are the antidotes for the muscle softening powder!"

The four of them were about to vomit it out, wondering if the food they didn't cook was poison, and then they heard Su Luoxue's voice.

The four of them quickly swallowed the antidote, and soon they felt that they could move again, and their legs and feet had the strength to stand up.

After they felt their strength restored, they immediately knelt down and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want us to do?"

Xuan Moyin glanced at Su Luoxue, and Su Luoxue stepped forward and said, "In a moment, you will tell me the truth about your conspiracy and rebellion, and who else was involved. Tell me everything clearly."

After Su Luoxue finished speaking, she took out her cell phone from her sleeve.

When they saw Su Luoxue taking out a strange thing, the four were startled, thinking it was a hidden weapon, and stepped back a few steps out of habit.

"Don't be afraid, gentlemen, I'm just recording it." Su Luoxue said easily.

Although the Duke and the other three didn't understand what Su Luoxue meant by the records, they thought that as long as the strange thing was not a hidden weapon, it would be fine.

"Okay." Several people nodded.

Su Luoxue turned on the video function of her phone, pointed it at the four of them, and said, "My Lords, when the prince asks you something, just answer it truthfully."

After that, she said to Xuan Moyin: "It's time to start."

Then Xuan Moyin began to question the Duke, the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal and the Shangshu. In order to protect the lives of their families, these four gentlemen behaved themselves and told the truth, including the names of the officials who had conspired with them to rebel.

Half an hour later, the questioning was over. An Yi went out at some point and brought in a few vegetable pancakes, throwing them at the feet of the adults.

Then he followed the prince and the county lady out of the room and locked the door from the outside.

"How is it?" Xuan Moyin asked Su Luoxue.

"Very good, I'll organize the video and it will be available for playback tomorrow morning." Su Luoxue said with a smile.

This plan was thought up by Su Luoxue. She only needed to broadcast the video of the four people's confession everywhere in the capital. The outside of the city had been guarded by their people. When the soldiers in the capital knew the truth about the rebellion, they would definitely lay down their arms and surrender, because no one was willing to take the risk of implicated all nine generations of their family and execute them all.

As for those officials who participated in the rebellion, in the face of irrefutable evidence, none of them can deny or escape.

The four adults in the room looked at the vegetable cakes that An Yi threw at their feet. The servants in their family didn't eat this before, but now they haven't eaten for more than two days, and their stomachs are rumbling with hunger. Besides, they are going to die anyway, so why should they complain? Let's fill our stomachs first.

The Duke was the first to pick up the vegetable cake on the ground and started to eat it. The Prime Minister, the Secretary of State and the Commandant saw this and picked up the vegetable cakes one by one and started to eat them without saying a word.

……

The next morning, at the city gate.

The city gate was still closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. There were several rows of soldiers standing at the gate. They were following military orders and were on duty here.

In the distance, there were also people who wanted to leave the city, looking over here. No one knew what was going on? Why were the city gates closed for the past few days and suddenly no one was allowed to enter or leave?

Although the city gates had been closed before, an imperial edict was posted each time to explain the reason, and it never lasted for such a long time! There was no imperial edict, which is why people in the capital have been in a panic these days.

Just as the soldiers were on duty and the people were watching, suddenly, the figures of the Duke, the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal, and the Shangshu appeared on the city wall, which scared the soldiers and the people.

It was really like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. How could these four adults suddenly appear on the wall of the city? They looked alive yet they were not real people.

Just when everyone was surprised, what surprised them even more was that these four adults actually spoke.

What shocked them even more was the content of what these four adults said.

Especially the Duke. After the Emperor became seriously ill, the Queen Mother wanted the Regent to return to Beijing to become the Emperor. How did they conspire to put the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress under house arrest? How did they secretly mobilize troops? How did they plan to rebel? How did they want to take that position? And the names of all the officials who conspired with them.

After Su Luoxue finished playing the video through the projector, everyone at the scene stayed where they were.

After a while, a soldier shouted loudly: "Brothers, we can't blindly follow these people to rebel! That is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan!"

His shout was like a thunderclap, instantly waking up the other soldiers who were still in a daze.

"Yes, we can't just blindly follow others in rebelling!" someone echoed.

"We are not plotting a rebellion, we were not aware of it, we are going to find the regent, we swear allegiance to the court until death!" someone else shouted.

"The Duke is plotting rebellion!"

"The Prime Minister is plotting a rebellion!"

……

In an instant, the soldiers at the city gate all shouted.

On the one hand, they were shouting that someone was plotting a rebellion and that they themselves were not, and on the other hand, they were shouting that they would go to the regent to clarify things.
