The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Minister Shen was about to speak when he saw the Prince of Shen rushing over angrily. He thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly warned him, "Lord Bu, the Prince of Shen is here."

Bu Yan pretended not to hear and his expression remained calm.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The young eunuch helped Emperor Nan Liang out again. At that time, Emperor Nan Liang's face was still pale and full of sadness, and even his steps were trembling.

After sitting firmly on the dragon throne, the Southern Liang Emperor glanced at the Prince of Shen who had just entered the room and said, "Second brother, you came at the right time. The fourth brother is dead..."

The Southern Liang Emperor's tone was still somewhat choked.

Prince Shen knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Nanliang: "Father, please accept my condolences. Today, I heard that the Fourth Imperial Sister met with an accident. I was shocked and angry. Father, I beg you to make a decision for the Fourth Imperial Sister."

Emperor Nanliang did not respond, but looked at Minister Shen: "The fortune teller said that the fourth child would never get married, and it was really accurate."

Minister Shen lowered his eyes in fear.

Then Prince Shen said, "Father, the fourth sister was murdered by someone."

Prince Shen looked at Bu Yan and said, "Lord Bu should know the most about this matter."

Bu Yan slowly turned around and looked at Prince Shen, his face calm, "Your Highness is right. I do know that this was because Mo Yunyao was angry and deliberately took revenge on the royal family, and that's why the Fourth Princess suffered."

"What nonsense!" Prince Shen pointed at Bu Yan angrily and said, "Lord Bu, you still dare to quibble after all this. It's obviously..."

When Prince Shen took out the letter from his arms, at first glance, all the words on it had disappeared, and it turned into a blank piece of paper.

Prince Shen's expression changed slightly.

"Prince, what is it clearly?" Bu Yan looked at Prince Shen with a smile.

Prince Shen came to his senses and realized that he had been tricked. He clenched the paper tightly and looked into Bu Yan's eyes, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Second brother?" Emperor Nanliang asked, "What do you want to say?"

Prince Shen took a deep breath and said, "Father, the safety of the capital is under the control of Lord Bu, but the Fourth Princess got into trouble right under Lord Bu's nose. It is logical that Lord Bu cannot escape responsibility."

The Southern Liang Emperor rubbed his brows, obviously not taking these words to heart, and instead helped Bu Yan to excuse himself: "Lord Bu is very busy every day, how can he keep an eye on the Fourth Master all the time? Besides, the Fourth Master sneaked out without even a guard with him."

At this point, the Southern Liang Emperor's face darkened: "The fourth son is getting more and more outrageous. It's all because of the virtuous concubine's pampering. And this Mo Yunyao, I have spared him once, but this time he dared to attack the royal princess. He doesn't know whether he lives or dies!"

These words shocked Prince Shen. He never expected that Bu Yan had such a high status in the heart of Emperor Nanliang.

If something like this happened, Jingzhao Yin would definitely be implicated as he had no choice but to take responsibility.

But not only was Bu Yan not implicated, the Emperor of Southern Liang also spoke up for him.

Prince Shen looked at Bu Yan meaningfully.

After all, he underestimated Bu Yan!

"My dear Minister Bu, how do you think this matter should be handled?" The Emperor of Southern Liang looked at Bu Yan.

Bu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Mo Yunyao has been stirring up trouble in Nanliang again and again, and he has become involved with the royal family. I think there must be Northern Qi behind this. Your Majesty, Northern Qi has been harassing Nanliang at the border for years. Nanliang now has sufficient military strength, so why not fight?"

"Bu Yan, you're crazy!" Prince Shen jumped up excitedly: "War is a waste of money and manpower, it's not just talking, how can you show off your ability?"

Bu Yan responded to the question from the Prince of Shen: "Nanliang has a strong army, how can it show off its strength? Nanliang also has the emperor in person, let alone teach Northern Qi a lesson, even if it is to recover it, why not? Prince Shen, you don't know, when I went to rescue the fourth princess, I captured Mo Yunyao and used some means to interrogate him. Guess what I found out from the interrogation?"

Prince Shen's brows twisted into a "川" shape: "Don't keep me in suspense. Everyone knows your interrogation methods, Lord Bu. You can get whatever you want."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Shen." Bu Yan was not modest at all. He suddenly put away the smile on his face and his expression became serious: "Your Majesty, I interrogated Mo Yunyao and found out that Northern Qi had already sent people deep into the Northwest Camp and had obtained the border defense map. They will attack the North Camp soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell into deathly silence.

Prince Shen dared not say a word, his pupils widened.

Emperor Nanliang covered his chest tightly and was so angry that he couldn't speak. It was only after Changxi quickly handed him a golden pill and served him tea that Emperor Nanliang calmed down a lot.

"Bu Yan, do you know what you are talking about?"

Bu Yan knelt on one knee and said with his hands clasped, "Your Majesty, I have also heard that someone in Nanliang has been protecting Mo Yunyao, which allowed Mo Yunyao to enter the capital smoothly. The border defense map was given to Mo Yunyao by someone in the capital. In addition, someone is plotting against the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

If the border defense map made the Southern Liang Emperor angry, then the attempt to murder the crown prince was enough to make him furious.

"boom!"

Emperor Nanliang slammed the table and asked angrily, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't care about Mo Yunyao's life or death, I can use some method to pry open Mo Yunyao's mouth, and Your Majesty will know once he hears it."

No one dared to speak at this time.

He didn't even dare to plead for Mo Yunyao. Once he was involved, it would mean that he was the one who protected Mo Yunyao.

Prince Shen swallowed and nervously looked up at the Emperor of Southern Liang above him, then looked at Bu Yan, his fingertips clenched white under his sleeves.

Finally, Emperor Nanliang said, "Yes!"

Bu Yan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

After leaving the main hall, Bu Yan went to the Ministry of Punishment. When the people inside saw Bu Yan coming, they respectfully made way for him and bowed to him, being very polite.

"What about people?"

Lin Qi pointed inside: "He was held in solitary confinement and has not seen anyone."

Bu Yan nodded and walked inside. It was a separate cell, isolated from the outside world. Mo Yunyao's limbs were shackled with iron chains. When he saw Bu Yan coming, he was furious: "Despicable villain!"

"Despicable?" Bu Yan sneered, "When it comes to despicableness, no one can compare to you, Mo Yunyao, no, it should be Zhao Yunyao, the sixth prince of Northern Qi."

When his identity was revealed, Mo Yunyao, now Zhao Yunyao, changed his expression instantly: "You, what are you talking about?"

Too lazy to argue with Zhao Yunyao, Bu Yan slowly sat down on a chair nearby and winked at Lin Jiu. Soon Lin Jiu brought someone over. The man glanced at Zhao Yunyao and put the box behind him on the ground.

Soon he created a face that looked exactly like Zhao Yunyao.

Zhao Yunyao was horrified: "Bu Yan, what are you doing?"

Bu Yan did not respond, and said to the man in the human skin mask in front of him: "Do you remember what I told you?"

"remember."

As soon as he opened his mouth, even his voice was exactly the same as Zhao Yunyao's.

"You've suffered." Bu Yan patted the man's shoulder gently.

The man shook his head: "Working for the Lord, whether it is life or death, is an honor."

"Go."

Lin Jiu led his men to the next door, and soon they heard the sound of whipping, again and again. Zhao Yunyao was terrified: "Bu Yan, aren't you worried about committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Bu Yan took a long step and came to Zhao Yunyao: "How about I give you a chance to ask for help?"

Looking at Bu Yan, Zhao Yunyao's eyelids twitched, and he had an ominous premonition: "What opportunity?"

"Write a letter to your mother, Concubine Li, asking for help. If she is willing to pay one million taels of silver to redeem you, I will spare you. How do you think?"

"Bu Yan, you're crazy!" Zhao Yunyao was so angry. One million taels of silver was not a small amount of money. How could he just take it out?

"The Sixth Prince of Northern Qi is not worth one million taels?" Bu Yan disagreed and asked someone to bring in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. "If you are unwilling to write, I can only cut off one part of your body every month, put it in ice, and send it to the Northern Qi Imperial Palace to see if Concubine Li is willing to spend money on you."

"You!" Zhao Yunyao gritted his teeth. No wonder people outside said that it is better to offend a villain than to provoke Bu Yan.

He is more hateful than a villain!
