Chapter 257: Assassination at the East Palace
No wonder people say that true love-brained people only appear in children from the upper class, because they have been protected since childhood and have not seen too much darkness and calculations, so their feelings are the purest.
This is really...
She actually had the illusion that she would feel guilty for having two extra lovers.
No, she couldn't have that illusion.
Her life should not be limited to the emotions of one person in the back house.
Zhong Ning patted Gu Mingzhe's hand, signaling him to have a good rest, and then stood up and left.
........
The next day, the Black Dragon Guards reported the clues they had found to the palace. On the same day, many corpses of men in black suddenly appeared in front of the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion.
It was hanging on the gate covered in blood, and the entire Prince Cheng's Mansion was terrified.
Before the people of the capital could recover from the incident in the melon field at Prince Cheng's mansion, something happened in the Eastern Palace again.
Da da da....
In front of the Fujun Mansion.
Two young generals in battle robes came running from a distance with a dozen followers. All the men and women in the Fujun Mansion stood at the gate to greet them.
"Father...Mother...I am an unfilial son and I am back late..." The eldest son Chen Yuan and the second son Chen Qian of the Fujun Mansion knelt on the ground one after another and kowtowed to the Fujun Mansion and others to pay their respects.
These two were the generals who were transferred back from the front line by special order of Emperor Yong.
The day when the transfer order is issued is also the day when military power is transferred.
The old face of Duke Fujun kept twitching. He comforted himself that it was okay, Taoist Qingyuan had already sent a message and he would be able to enter the capital tomorrow!
When planning big things, you must keep your mind stable.
As long as Taoist Qingyuan comes to Beijing, it will be the time for their entire family to fight back.
After thinking this through, the Duke of Fu County helped his two sons up one by one and said in a gentle voice, "Since you are returning to the capital, please wash up and rest well. Later, follow your father into the palace to meet His Majesty!"
"Yes!" Chen Yuan replied loudly. Just as he was about to enter the mansion, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to see his third brother, so he asked casually, "Where is my third brother? Why don't you see him?"
The corners of Fujun Gong's lips twitched slightly, and he snorted coldly: "This rebellious son did not return home last night. No one knows where he went. Perhaps he was lured into some brothel and indulged in some foolish behavior..."
"Why is my third brother like this?" Chen Yuan frowned slightly. In his impression, his younger brother has always been a self-disciplined, studious and motivated person.
Duke Fujun felt a chill in his heart. It was naturally his order. Only by letting Chen Yan behave a little ridiculously could the palace relax its vigilance against their Duke Fujun's Mansion.
Thus, he forgot about the third brother's plot against Princess Zhaohua.
After the father and his two sons entered the mansion, the others were busy preparing food and washing for them, but the Duke of Fu took the lead and went to the study.
Chen Yuan and the other two knew exactly what their father meant, so they followed him immediately.
"Father, why did His Majesty suddenly summon us back to the capital? And why was our family demoted by imperial decree? Your letter was vague, and I have always had doubts in my heart!" Chen Qian asked first.
"This is a long story, please allow me to explain it slowly..." Duke Fu was just about to speak when he heard the sounds of fighting and angry shouting coming from outside the door.
"What's going on?" Fujun Gong shouted sharply. The guards in the mansion pushed the door open in panic and replied hurriedly: "Master... yes, it's the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards have surrounded our entire mansion..."
Duke Fu was so shocked that he stood up and walked out the door without thinking. Chen Yuan and Chen Qian followed him immediately.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, Qin Mo, riding on a tall horse. Behind him were two rows of fully armed imperial guards, surrounding their entire mansion.
At this time, the guards of Fujun Mansion were standing in confrontation with the imperial guards with knives in hand.
When the women heard the noise, they also ran out in panic.
Looking at all this in front of me, I feel at a loss.
"Commander Qin, this is the Duke's Mansion personally appointed by His Majesty. Why are you leading the imperial guards here?" Chen Yuan took the lead and asked loudly.
Qin Mo did not answer, but instead raised the imperial edict in his hand and shouted, "Chen Yan of Fujun Mansion attacked the Eastern Palace last night and assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Majesty has ordered that the entire Fujun Mansion be imprisoned and charged. This is the imperial decree!"
"No, it's impossible..." Duke Fu retorted loudly. He had already discussed important matters with Yan'er. How could he be so presumptuous before the matter was accomplished?
This must be a frame-up!
This is a frame-up!
"I want to see your majesty, I want to see your majesty, someone is framing my Fujun Mansion, someone is framing me..." Fujun Mansion's eyes were bloodshot and he looked crazy.
Qin Molue waved his hand, and the imperial guards stepped forward to control everyone, especially the Duke of Fujun and the two young masters. They were all shackled and pressed to the ground.
The raised eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness.
Qin Mo sneered, "My Lord, when your son was captured by the Imperial Guards, he admitted that he was ordered by his father to do so. To show Prince Cheng his determination to surrender, he was willing to eliminate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No, Yan'er would not do this, and my Fujun Mansion would not do this... It was you, it must be you who tortured him and forced him to say so!" Fujun Duke struggled to defend himself, he absolutely did not believe that his son would do this!
"Your Majesty didn't believe it either. After all, the Duke of the County is a veteran nobleman, so he ordered Chen Yan to be brought to the court and questioned personally!"
Qin Mo leaped off his horse and slowly walked up to the Duke of Fu. He lowered his head and spoke in a cold voice, "Chen Yan, in front of all the civil and military officials, shouted that his father had ordered him to surrender to the king and that the crown prince must be executed first!"
"He personally admitted that he was ordered by you, Lord County, to assassinate the Eastern Palace. If the Imperial Guards had not arrived in time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have died at Chen Yan's hands. So, Lord County, do you still feel wronged?"
Upon hearing this, Duke Fujun sat down on the ground dejectedly. He couldn't understand why Yan'er did this.
He was more inclined to believe that he was being plotted against.
But if he made such remarks in the court, the crime of assassinating the Eastern Palace would be pressed on the heads of the Fujun Mansion.
at the same time.
Shen Yan led the horse to the inn in the capital.
He was summoned back by the current emperor's special decree. Although he didn't know why the emperor knew him, he instinctively felt that returning to the capital was not a good thing.
After entering the inn, he washed up and prepared to go to the palace to ask for an audience.
However, he was informed by two imperial guards who suddenly appeared in the inn that Princess Zhaohua invited him to come into the palace to see her!
Princess Zhaohua?
Shen Yan was even more confused.
He had been in the army for a long time and was unaware of what was happening outside. This time he came to the capital at full speed and had no time to inquire about any unnecessary information. He really didn't know why Princess Zhaohua wanted to see him?
Shen Yan pondered for a moment before bowing and replying, "My two brothers, I am about to enter the palace to ask to see His Majesty. Can I come to the Princess's residence tomorrow to apologize?"
One of the imperial guards replied directly: "Her Royal Highness has ordered that the palace is in chaos and His Majesty may be too busy to take care of other matters. Lord Shen can enter the palace tomorrow!"
So something happened in the palace?
Shen Yan was silent for a moment. If that was the case, then it would be difficult for him to ask for a meeting today.
Shen Yan bowed again and said, "In that case, please lead the way, brothers!"
