Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down

Emperor Jing’s focus now is not the super food or the earthly immortals, but who is trying to murder him!

"My son, I don't know."

At this moment, Nangong Yan felt as if a poisonous snake was crawling on his back, and he was shivering. He didn't know whether it was due to poisoning or fright, and he kept shaking his head to deny it.

Then he nodded again, "Yes, it was the prince, it must be him, it was the prince who framed me, he used me to harm my father!

It was given to me secretly by the prince's study companion at his residence, who said it was a good omen and that if I presented it to my father, it would surely accomplish great success!

I was wrong in that I shouldn't have been greedy for credit, but I definitely don't have the intention to harm my father!"

"You keep saying that I framed you, do you have any evidence?

Why would my companion in the East Palace hook up with you?

Could it be that you have planted your spies in this prince's mansion?"

"It was Shi Mo, the prince's companion. He gave it to me."

"Bring Shi Mo!"

After a while, Shi Mo came to the hall and saw the way the prince looked at him, and then saw the way the three kings looked at him.

He knew that he could not escape today. Whether he admitted that he was the one who stabbed the prince in the back or admitted that he was the one who offered poison to the three kings, he could not escape death.

However, some deaths may involve the entire clan, while others only require the life of one person. Shi Mo pursed his lips slightly, as if he had made the final decision.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to confess. I hope Your Majesty will agree to one of my requests!" Shi Mo knelt down respectfully.

"Tell me what you think!"

"Your Majesty, please send someone to the dungeon of the Three Kings Villa to rescue my family!"

When the ministers heard this, they all started talking and whispering to each other. It was obvious that these three kings had Shi Mo in their control!

The Third Prince Nangong Yan's eyes at this moment were like a poisonous snake, wishing he could bite Shi Mo to death!

The emperor nodded to the guards around him, and they quickly left the hall.

"I promise you, but if you dare to lie to me, I will cut you into pieces!"

“The Third Prince threatened me with my family, forcing me to become his insider in the East Palace and to cooperate with all his actions.

Once the plan is accomplished and your Majesty is poisoned, let me identify the prince as the one who replaced the tribute earthly immortal with the poisoned potato.

His purpose was to murder the emperor so that he could succeed to the throne. After all, I was the prince's tutor. With my testimony, the prince committed regicide, which is an unforgivable crime. With his reputation tarnished, he would have no hope of succeeding to the throne.

In order to prove that it was the prince who ordered it, he also asked me to hide a poisonous earth fairy in a black lacquer box and place it under the bookshelf in the prince's meeting room.

If something goes wrong with the treasure offering, we can put the blame on the prince. By then, with all the evidence, it will be difficult for the prince to turn things around!"

"That's not the case! The prince framed me! I didn't do that. I don't even know Shi Mo!"

"What a joke! Who would be so stupid as to hide the stolen goods in their own home where they can be easily found? This is such a clumsy frame-up. You, King San, are too careless!"

The prince was not worried at all, and even had a hint of sneer on his face.

This stupid excuse actually made Emperor Jing laugh, "You are so stupid!

Just now you said that Shi Mo gave you the Earth Immortal. If he wasn't your man, would you trust him so much?!

Isn't it too late to say now that you don't know Shi Mo?"

The ministers all discussed, "What a vicious plan!"

"The three kings are so vicious that they dare to harm the emperor and his own flesh and blood!"

"Such an unfilial and unfraternal person is not worthy of serving in the same palace with us!"

At this time, a Tiqi Guard came to report that they had indeed found Shi Mo's family in the dungeon of the Three Kings Villa, but unfortunately, all of them were dead.

And found a lot of secret letters from Shi Mo in Nangong Yan's study!

A lacquer box containing potatoes was indeed found in the Prince's Mansion.

Moreover, the lacquer box used to store the secret letter is the same as the lacquer box used to store the potatoes.

"Nangong Yan, what else do you have to say to quibble?" Nangong Yan regretted it so much. Those secret letters should have been destroyed at that time. He shouldn't have kept them and shouldn't have tried to use more tricks to control Shi Mo.

When Shi Mo heard that all his family members had been killed, he knew that Emperor Jing would not let him go, and neither would the Crown Prince.

Well, at least the family was reunited, so he crushed the poison hidden in his teeth and swallowed it.

The three kings were already doomed, and now they knelt on the ground dejectedly, tears streaming down their cheeks, "Father, I am innocent. I really have no intention of harming you! You must believe me!..."

Emperor Jing rubbed his brows and said tiredly,

"The Third Prince, Nangong Yan, has framed his brother and plotted against me under the pretext of an auspicious event. I hereby revoke your prince status and demote you to a county prince. Go back to your fiefdom and leave the capital immediately. You are not allowed to return without an imperial decree!"

Emperor Jing looked at Shi Mo as if he were an ant.

"You knew he was going to harm me, but you didn't care about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. You let the situation develop and sacrificed the greater good for the sake of petty affection. You deserve to die! I will punish you with Ling Chi!"

Shi Mo smiled, with a hint of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't feel any pain anymore.

The third prince's biological mother, Concubine Pang, had already received the news and knelt on the road that Emperor Jing must pass by, begging for forgiveness.

His forehead was already broken, but Emperor Jing remained indifferent and said coldly, "If you like to kneel, then kneel until dark."

Concubine Hui of Qi happened to pass by here, "Oh, isn't this our Concubine Pang? I heard that the prince is leaving the capital, why haven't you gone to help him pack his things? I heard that the conditions of the fiefdom are not as good as those in the capital.

The Queen asked me to tell you something: From now on, you must do it on your own!"

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth in hatred, determined to avenge today's grudge tomorrow!

Emperor Jing had indeed treated the three princes well. He doted on his sons for more than twenty years, but when they betrayed him one day, given his temperament, he did not kill Nangong Yan, and his mother was not demoted either. This matter was a bit delicate.

The next day, all the capital knew that the three princes had framed the crown prince and poisoned the emperor. The emperor immediately took away their prince titles, sent them back to their fiefdoms, and never allowed them to return to the capital again!

When Su Yuzheng was free, he called Su Yuejian to Zhiwei Hall. In fact, Su Yuejian had already learned about what happened in the court from the court report.

Su Yuzheng sat up straight, his face filled with solemnity, and said in a deep voice, "The third prince is the prince's half-brother. Because his mother is the favored Concubine Pang, he was granted the title of prince. Since then, the trend of the prince and the third prince competing with each other has been formed.

The emperor can only feel at ease if the three princes check and balance the prince. But the three princes will never be able to turn things around this time. After all, it will not be easy for them to come back after leaving the capital.

The situation in the capital has been disrupted, and other princes with more active minds may emerge. At that time, the emperor will definitely support the new prince to compete with the crown prince. "

Su Yuejian said nothing, but listened quietly as the case of the Earth Immortal rushed in an uncontrollable direction.

Su Yuzheng looked at his daughter and said with some guilt, "In this matter, the three kings got there first, but the crown prince caught them at their weakest point and defeated them in one fell swoop.

The backer behind the three kings is Concubine Pang. Although she was not affected this time, she must have had a hard time in the harem.

His father was the Chief Censor and he had briefly taught the crown prince before. Regardless of whether he participated in the party struggle or not, he had already been labeled a member of the crown prince's party.

Only if the crown prince ascends to the throne smoothly, our Su family will not be liquidated.

Protecting the prince means protecting the Su family. Do you understand?"
