Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

Chapter 206: Death and Resurrection

With Xiao Huaian's secret promotion, the Li family's case was involved in a new case.

When the emperor saw the evidence before him, he had no choice but to vindicate the Li family.

With the rehabilitation of the Li family, the fact that Marquis Yongning maintained private soldiers was also discovered.

At that time, Li Tuo's father, Li Kang, had achieved very good results while in office. He also discovered an iron mine and prepared to report it to the court.

When the Marquis of Yongning was looking for a place to train private soldiers for the second prince, he also discovered the iron mine. He wanted to stop Li Kang from reporting and to win over Li Kang, but Li Kang remained unmoved. On the one hand, the Marquis of Yongning intercepted Li Kang's memorial to the court, and on the other hand, he found someone to frame Li Kang's father Li Cheng, so that Li Kang would be implicated and lose his official position.

The prince thought that the evidence in Li's case was insufficient and that further investigation was needed. After the investigation, the emperor decided that Li Cheng's death sentence was pardonable, but his crime was not punishable by death, so he changed the beheading of the whole family into exile.

Because of the Li family case, the prince's people noticed that the second prince had some unusual behavior. When they were halfway through the investigation, they were framed by the second prince's party.

The prince's party argued their case and pointed out the loopholes in the other party's evidence.

The emperor was somewhat partial to the second prince and Concubine Ma, and was wary of the strength of the empress's family and the crown princess's family. He also knew that the second prince was not as good as the crown prince in terms of talent and statecraft. Most importantly, he understood his son and knew that the crown prince would not do anything to usurp the throne.

In this power struggle, the emperor was somewhat hesitant.

So he punished the Queen and the Crown Prince and deliberately alienated the Seventh Prince. However, he did not depose the Queen and the Crown Prince, and even sent the Seventh Prince to the Northern Desert Army for training.

He favored Concubine Ma and let her take charge of the harem, but refused to let her rise any higher in rank. He favored the Second Prince and allowed him to make friends with the powerful officials in the court, but refused to make him the Crown Prince.

The emperor both used and guarded against the Qin family army from the Empress Dowager's family and the Zhao family army from the Crown Princess' family.

He needed them to guard the northern desert and southern border, and the Great Zhou needed them. But the imperial court did not provide enough military pay and supplies, and kept trying to insert people in.

When the emperor saw the ironclad evidence that the Yongning Marquis, the family of Concubine Ma, had privately opened an iron mine and raised private soldiers, he was so angry that he rolled his eyes. After carefully reviewing the officials of the Second Prince's faction in the court and their actions, the emperor was so frightened that he couldn't close his eyes when he slept.

Fortunately, the emperor still had his own people in the palace and in the court. He was glad that he was not completely blind, that he did not depose the queen and the prince, and that he did not treat the Qin and Zhao armies too harshly.

The emperor acted decisively, captured Concubine Ma and the second prince and his mother, and tricked them into the palace.

Faced with the irrefutable evidence, Concubine Ma and her son realized that their plans had been seen through by the emperor, and all their plans ended in failure.

With the power of thunder, the emperor quickly caught and liquidated the officials of the second prince's party.

The queen regained her former glory, and the prince was released from confinement and returned to the court.

The eldest grandson of the Crown Princess was the eldest and was canonized as the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess's daughter was canonized as a Princess. The second grandson, who was only one day younger, and his sister, had nothing.

Of course the Crown Prince's concubine couldn't just let it go like this.

Whether in terms of birth or the strength of her mother's family, the concubine thinks she is no less than the crown princess. Why! Why!

The open and secret struggles in the prince's backyard thus opened a new chapter.

The Crown Princess was certainly not a naive, brainless woman. When she was imprisoned, she didn't want to fight, so she just let the concubine do whatever she wanted.

The dangerous experience when she gave birth to her son and the poisoning of her children later were the two things she hated the most.

The Crown Princess knew who did it, but the evidence was insufficient. With the favoritism of her lover, she had no choice but to endure it. She was disappointed and sad. In addition, her two children were born with congenital defects and were weak and sickly since birth. Even the head of the Divine Doctor Valley said that they might not live to adulthood. She didn't have the energy to fight for anything.

However, they met a doctor named Rong who suddenly appeared and took better care of the two children. Even the head of the Divine Doctor Valley was surprised and said that the two children were completely healed and would live as long as normal people.

The Crown Princess had hope again, and she stood up. Before she could do anything, the Crown Prince found out that the person who poisoned him was the concubine.

Although it is a chronic poison and not very toxic, it is extremely harmful.

The concubine wanted to poison the prince to weaken his body and make him lose his mind. Then she would give him some antidote from time to time, in order to win his favor and trust, and to do something when he was not in a clear mind.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess knew some medical skills, saw the clues, and told the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince did not believe it at first, but he gradually realized that there was something wrong with his body, and then he found out the truth.

Then he found out that the concubine had repeatedly tried to harm the Crown Princess's two children, the most serious of which was the poisoning incident. If he hadn't happened to have a special antidote pill sent by Xiao Huaian, the two children would have been poisoned to death.

What made the prince even more angry was that his second son, the child of a concubine, was instigated and deceived by the concubine's family and was also poisoned.

Although Xiaoyue discovered and removed the poisonous insect before it could threaten the prince's life, the prince was seriously injured.

What made the prince even more unable to forgive the concubine and her family was that due to poisoning and witchcraft, his body was damaged and he was unable to perform sexual intercourse.

When he found out, he sought treatment from the imperial physician, but it didn't get better. He then asked the people from the Divine Doctor Valley to treat him, but they couldn't get any help. Finally, he wanted to find Doctor Rong to treat him, but he couldn't find anyone. After searching for a while, he found out that Doctor Rong and her servant Xiaoyue went to Xiaoqing Mountain to collect herbs, but unfortunately they encountered a wild beast and both died.

Gu Zhazha originally stood firmly on the emperor's side. But because Zhang Zhutoulian was the concubine's daughter of the Wenchang Earl's Mansion, she was also implicated.

At this time, Gu Lanting and Gu Lanruo appeared together, took out the complaint and sued Gu Zhazha and Zhang Zhutoulian.

Gu Lanting's appearance has been restored. He told everyone that he was kidnapped and later found an opportunity to escape, but unfortunately he was injured and lost his memory during the escape. Recently, he happened to meet Dr. Rong for a free clinic and cured his memory, which reminded him of his experience.

Gu Lanruo told everyone that when the evil servants in the manor set fire to the house, she used up her last bit of strength to call for help in the house. She was met by a bald weird hero who passed by. He not only rescued her from the fire, but also healed her injuries.

The strange hero told her what happened in Shangjing City, so she said goodbye to the strange hero and came to Shangjing City to seek justice for herself.

The common people sympathize very much with the plight of the brother and sister, and they hate the Gu Zhazha couple and their children even more. They also hope that those who harmed them will be punished.

Because the emperor favored and favored the imperial concubine and the second prince, the empress and the prince suffered injustice for seven or eight years. There were upright and courageous ministers in the court who advised the emperor on this matter. When the emperor had to "reflect deeply", the incident of Gu Zhazha and the second wife killing the children of the original wife became a hot topic in the city.

This made the emperor's thoughts of exonerating Gu Zhazha disappear. In order to appease the people and give an explanation to the brother and sister, the emperor had to order an investigation. As a result, evidence of Gu Zhazha's corruption and punishment was found, and the fact that they had harmed their original children was also confirmed.
