Chapter 80 The Ending of Ming Zhaoyi and the 4th Prince
Ming Zhaoyi felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her throat felt like it was stuck when she inhaled, and she vomited a lot of blood.
The emperor walked halfway with disdain and looked at her with contempt, "Bitch! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will confiscate your property and exterminate your clan!"
Ming Zhaoyi sneered, "What a pity! The Emperor is even more despicable than me. He knew that Gu Congrong didn't like you, but he used me as a substitute. It's really disgusting!"
The emperor said coldly, "Ming, it seems you are really not afraid of harming your parents and children? Have you forgotten that your son is dead, but your daughter is still alive?"
Ming Zhaoyi seemed to have just remembered, but she didn't care about anything anymore. "Haha, so what if they have sons and daughters? They are all your flesh and blood, but will you really do good for them?
What do you think of Princess Rongchang? She lost her dignity, and you married her off to a scoundrel like Cui Hao, without any consideration for her.
What about Princess Shanzhen? She was born to the Queen, so what happened? Wasn't she schemed against by you? Before, in Yuzhen Temple, she... uh! "
Ming Zhaoyi did not say anything else because the emperor had grabbed her neck, his hands tightening like iron pliers. Ming Zhaoyi tried desperately to raise her head, and her eyeballs bulged out because she could not breathe.
The emperor looked at her as if she were dead, his voice filled with a huge storm, "I thought you only cared about love affairs, and some small thoughts of competing for favors, but I didn't expect that your thoughts were deeper than I knew.
In this case, I cannot keep you here any longer. Go and accompany your son to the underworld!"
The emperor exerted force and with a "click", Ming Zhaoyi's neck broke, her eyes wide open unwillingly.
The emperor snorted, threw Ming Zhaoyi to the ground, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his hands in disgust, "Mother and son are both idiots!"
He sat back on the dragon chair, straightened his expression, and said, "Someone come!"
He Chao and the Emperor's chief eunuch Liu Shun walked in. They were even more respectful than before, not even glancing at the corpse on the ground. "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Liu Shun, Consort Ming passed away in grief upon hearing of the Fourth Prince's death. Her body has been collected, but do not bury her yet. We will hold a funeral later."
"Yes."
Liu Shun brought two young eunuchs and dragged Ming Zhaoyi's body out like a dead dog, and threw it into Ming Zhaoyi's bedroom, and never cared about it again.
"He Chao, lead your men to search the Fourth Prince's palace. All those who have close ties with the Fourth Prince must be apprehended and interrogated. Be sure to thoroughly investigate the origins of the dragon robe for me!"
"Yes!"
He Chao went out, and the emperor picked up the jade seal on the table. There were eight words on the back, "Received the Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper". The vermilion ink dyed the eight words red, and also dyed the emperor's eyes red.
I am the ruler of this world. No one can covet this position, not even my son! Whoever covets it will die!
Jingzhao Prefecture, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice all took action. Officers shuttled back and forth in the capital, arresting all those who had any connection with the Fourth Prince.
The people were in a state of panic. What was going on? Was the world about to change? Businesses were afraid to open their doors and went home early, fearing they would be arrested.
There are no secrets in the palace. The news of the Fourth Prince's death and Ming Zhaoyi's subsequent death from grief quickly spread throughout the palace, and the Empress and Concubine Hui all knew about it.
The Queen and Zhao Yuanqing said, "Died of grief? Impossible. Ming Zhaoyi is not that kind of person. She has a very strong heart."
"Mother, you'll find out if you find out."
Luzhu went out for a while and soon found out that everything was in chaos on Ming Zhaoyi's side. When Princess Ninglin, Zhao Yushu, heard about it, she ran over and threw herself on Ming Zhaoyi's body, crying loudly.
Several palace maids went to inquire about the news. They all saw the dried blood at the corners of Ming Zhaoyi's mouth, and her neck was so limp that she couldn't even lift it up.
People knew at a glance that the person had his neck strangled and did not die of grief. Who else in this palace would do such a thing so blatantly?
Everyone shut up and scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only Zhao Yushu who kept crying.
After returning to the palace, Lu Zhu leaned over to the Queen and Zhao Yuanqing's ears and told them everything. The Queen sighed.
“As the ancients said, serving a king is like serving a tiger; one must be on guard at all times. This is indeed true.
Ming Zhaoyi hid her true nature and deliberately pretended to be the emperor's favorite. She stayed with him for more than 20 years and thought that the emperor might have some true feelings for her, but she didn't expect it to be just like this.
Zhao Yuanqing said, "I heard that people from several government offices have all gone out to arrest people. It seems that there will be more blood and rain to come. The Ming family is probably going to be destroyed."
The emperor was furious and the capital was in turmoil. The government offices were extremely efficient and in less than three days, all of the Ming family, the fourth prince's retainers, relatives and friends were arrested.
In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, interrogations were carried out day and night. The floor was covered with layer upon layer of blood. The iron had to be burned several times. Finally, after four days, all the information that could be interrogated was obtained.
There were three major events. One was the dragon robe, which was drawn by the Fourth Prince himself. He then found skilled embroiderers from Jiangnan, locked them in the basement, and asked them to embroider it day and night.
After the people from the Ministry of Justice opened the basement, they found only a few tables and some cloth and embroidery thread. The embroiderers had all been poisoned to death by the Fourth Prince's order and buried in the basement.
The second major event was the dragon robe incident, which actually involved the crown prince. The fourth prince's confidant said that the fourth prince made this dragon robe in order to frame the crown prince, but for some reason, he did not succeed. However, because there was no evidence that the crown prince was present, this statement remains to be verified.
Many people kept silent about the third major event. According to the eunuch most trusted by the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Crown Princess had been in contact for several years, starting from the time when they were in Fanyang Academy. As for whether the Crown Princess was involved in the murder of the Prince, they did not know.
If the prince gets involved, it will be a big deal.
The Minister of Justice presented all the confessions to the emperor, who remained silent for a long time after hearing them.
The fourth brother has a really big appetite and is really bold. He is even more daring than when I was young. Unfortunately, although the idea is good, the implementation is not thorough enough, and he was still wiped out by the prince. If the fourth brother succeeded...
Pity.
"Liu Shun, what did the Crown Prince report as the cause of the Crown Princess's death?"
"Your Majesty, he died of a sudden illness."
The emperor nodded. It seemed that the prince wanted to save face and didn't want this matter to be exposed. After all, no man would feel good about having his backyard stolen by his younger brother.
A quarter of an hour later, the emperor had made a decision. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since the fourth prince is dead, he should give the prince some face.
"Decree that the Fourth Prince has secretly taken the imperial robe, intending to rebel. He is disobedient and unfilial, and is demoted to a commoner. Give him a cup of poisoned wine, and leave his body intact."
"Yes!"
The eunuchs standing by lifted up the Fourth Prince's body without blinking an eye, stripped off his clothes, which were the standard attire for princes and common people were not worthy of wearing. They then pried open his mouth and poured a cup of poisoned wine into his mouth.
Poor Fourth Prince, corpse spots appeared on his face and he drank a glass of poisoned wine.
"All those involved in this incident will be punished along with their entire clans, and will be taken to Caishikou and beheaded in seven days."
"Yes."
"Ming Shi failed to raise her son properly. She was stripped of her Zhaoyi title, demoted to a commoner, and was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum. She was thrown into a mass grave. Everyone in her palace was beaten to death."
"Yes."
"And the Ming family, for raising such unruly children who brought chaos to the imperial palace. Although they didn't participate in the rebellion and can be spared the death penalty, their crimes are unforgivable. All members of the Ming family will be expelled from the capital. For three generations, no men will be allowed to take the imperial examinations, and no women will be allowed to enter the palace. All of them will be expelled from the capital and banned from entering the capital for life."
"Yes!"
