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

at night

Bu Yan personally took a carriage to visit Prince Shen’s Mansion again.

When the butler saw the person coming, he was suddenly frightened for some reason and woke up. Without saying a word, he led the person in and sent someone to inform Prince Shen and the princess.

When Prince Shen, who had already gone to bed, heard that Bu Yan had arrived, he frowned, got up, put on his clothes and went to the hall. Prince Shen's wife also came with him.

"Why is Lord Bu here so late?" Prince Shen looked suspicious.

Bu Yan said, "In reply to the Prince of the County, I have interrogated people overnight and found many clues involving the Prince of the County of Shangshen. I don't know what to do for the moment, so I came to report to you."

Prince Shen stared at Bu Yan for a while. He and Bu Yan had dealt with each other many times, but they always ended in a bad mood.

He spent a long time chewing on this hard bone but failed.

Prince Shen was even more wary of Bu Yan.

"Your Majesty, the family of the woman who sued Rong Yin suddenly changed their testimony, saying that the woman was kidnapped when she went out, but they did not see clearly who the man was. They only heard someone calling him Third Young Master Rong, and they assumed it was Rong Yin. But today, I found this at the crime scene."

Bu Yan raised his hand and placed a wooden plaque engraved with the word "Care" on the table.

Prince Shen took one look and his face immediately darkened.

"The woman's family members have tampered with the confession and want to withdraw the complaint. They don't want to sue Rong Yin anymore. Your Highness, I have already beaten Rong Yin half to death. Now I have wrongly accused him. What do you say we should do?" Bu Yan looked innocent.

Prince Shen's breathing tightened. Both Rong Yin and Rong Chang were related to Prince Shen's Mansion.

"What do you think we should do, Lord Bu?" Prince Shen asked in a serious tone.

Bu Yan pondered for a moment, his face calm, "This matter involves more and more people, it is better to make the best of a bad situation and find someone to take the blame, otherwise, I am worried that it will implicate the Prince's Mansion."

Seeing the faint smile on Bu Yan's face, Prince Shen found it annoying. He clenched his fists, not understanding why these two situations had nothing to do with Prince Shen's Mansion, but were involved with it and he couldn't get rid of them.

hateful!

"I believe that Lord Bu will be fair and impartial and will not wrongly accuse a good person." Prince Shen did not want to get involved, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I won't keep Lord Bu here any longer."

Bu Yan stood up and said, "Sorry to bother you."

After that, Bu Yan swaggered out of the Prince Shen's mansion. Lin Qi couldn't help but ask behind him: "Sir, will the Prince Shen really believe your words so easily?"

He suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "I don't have to make him believe me, just wait and see."

As soon as Bu Yan left, Prince Shen ordered his men to prepare their horses to enter the palace. Helian was confused: "It's so late, what is the prince going to do in the palace?"

"Bu Yan is insidious and cunning, so we must be on guard against him." Prince Shen didn't believe that Bu Yan would come here for no reason.

And there are already rumors outside that he bribed Bu Yan.

Helian frowned: "The prince is overly suspicious."

Prince Shen shook his head, thinking that it was better to be safe than sorry. He couldn't wait to dress up and prepare to enter the palace. For this reason, Helian also dressed up and followed him into the palace.

Unfortunately, both of them were turned away. The emperor suddenly went into seclusion and would not attend the morning court for five days. Unless it was an emergency, he would not be disturbed.

Prince Shen’s eyelids twitched. How could it be such a coincidence?

"Prince, we must have been worrying too much. There is no need for Bu Yan to frame us for the Rong family." Helian felt that Bu Yan did not have the courage to do so.

Under Helian's persuasion, Prince Shen had no choice but to go back.

Little did they know that just as they left, Bu Yan's carriage appeared shakily at the palace gate. He got off the ground, showed his badge, waited for the palace gate to open, and was the first to slip in.

Great Hall

When Eunuch Changxi saw Bu Yan, he stepped forward respectfully and said, "Master Bu, why are you here?"

"Please give this to the emperor." Bu Yan handed a brocade box to Chang Xi. Chang Xi opened it and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"This was given to me by Princess Shen."

The brocade box contained a thick stack of silver bills, which amounted to at least hundreds of thousands of taels, visible to the naked eye.

Changxi did not dare to underestimate him and hurried in to report.

Soon, a reprimanding voice came from inside, and then Changxi came out and said to Bu Yan: "Master Bu, the emperor invites you in."

Bu Yan leaned forward and knelt on the ground: "I pay my respects to His Majesty."

The Southern Liang Emperor was only wearing a white inner garment, his face was ashen, and he looked very angry. He asked in a twisted voice, "You said this was given to you by the Princess of Shen County?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"When I searched the Rong family, I accidentally found two Baogong pills. Somehow the news leaked to the Princess of Shen County. She ordered someone to take me away and threatened me to hand over the Baogong pills."

The three words "Baogongwan" immediately aroused some interest in the Southern Liang Emperor, and he said in a deep voice: "Go on."

"I have been summoned twice by the Prince Shen's Mansion. Two hours ago, Prince Shen also sent someone to summon me and promised me that he would give me a private mine in Huizhou."

"Private mine?" Emperor Nanliang pondered: "How come I don't know about this? Then how do you respond?"

"Your Majesty, I did not respond, but the Princess of Shen County somehow found out about my background and threatened me that if I did not submit to the Prince of Shen County's Mansion, I would be torn into pieces!" Bu Yan kowtowed to the Emperor of Southern Liang:

Your Majesty, I am loyal and have no second thoughts. "

The Emperor of Southern Liang was silent.

At this time, Changxi leaned close to the ear of Emperor Nanliang and whispered, "Your Majesty, I heard from the guards that Prince Shen and his wife arrived at the palace gate an hour ago and asked to see you, but for some reason they went back."

Emperor Nanliang snorted coldly. It was only one night and it was so lively outside. He said coldly: "Call Prince Shen and the Princess."

"Yes."

"You get up first." Emperor Nanliang waved his hand and let Bu Yan go to the side hall to rest.

Half an hour later, Prince Shen and Helian arrived at the main hall to pay their respects. The Southern Liang Emperor looked gloomy and said, "I heard that you two went to the palace gate in the middle of the night to ask for an audience. What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I am going to sue the Jingzhao Yin for embezzling money, accepting bribes, bullying others, and abusing his power for personal gain!" Prince Shen was anxious to clear himself and repeated everything Bu Yan said when he came to his house.

Emperor Nanliang raised his eyebrows: "That's all?"

Prince Shen was surprised: "Father, Bu Yan is the prefect of Jingzhao. He should never act so rashly. Moreover, Bu Yan has come to my house twice. His behavior is strange. It will definitely cause the outside world to misunderstand me."

At this point, the Southern Liang Emperor only snorted and said, "A man of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. You are worrying too much."

Seeing that the Emperor of Southern Liang always supported Bu Yan, Prince Shen felt uncomfortable, but his goal had been achieved.

Even if Bu Yan involves him one day, he will not feel guilty.

Little did he know that it was this action that made the Emperor of Southern Liang think that Prince Shen was narrow-minded and was deliberately setting a trap for Bu Yan.
