Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight
Chapter 195 Confession
Prince Yong knelt down as soon as he entered the palace and said, "I am guilty."
Su Heting raised his eyebrows, "Prince Yong, please tell me, what crime have you committed?"
He had given him a chance before, but Prince Yong insisted on pretending to be stupid, so he went back and dealt with Princess Yong.
He was asked to catch Yi Qing's spy, but there has been no progress these days.
Su Heting just thought that Prince Yong chose Yi Qing.
But his men kept an eye on Prince Yong's mansion, but they did not find any contact between Prince Yong and Yi Qing's men.
However, Prince Si Jin of Yong has been in close contact with Yu Tianbao recently.
When the news came that Qiao Xi had suppressed Prince Wu'an, Yu Tianbao praised Qiao Xi everywhere for her heroic spirit, saying that having such a queen was a great blessing for the people.
Si Jin also made great efforts in private, so Qiao Xi now has a high reputation among the people.
Su Heting was naturally happy, and he also thought about Si Jin's thoughts and roughly knew his choice.
Now that the father and son had entered the palace, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that Prince Yong's actions were not as efficient as before.
Prince Yong finally decided to go to the palace and confess. He never thought of hiding anything and said truthfully, "I was confused and helped Yi Qing take the emperor's sister-in-law away."
"Since you call her the Empress's sister-in-law, you know that if she leaves the palace as the Empress of a country and marries another man, she will be doomed to eternal damnation if something happens in the future."
Prince Yong then told him everything that Yi Qing had told him, including how Princess Yong and Ji Chuan had secretly met and how she had helped him to exchange children.
"I am guilty. I only thought that he had done me a favor. I also saw that the retired emperor treated his sister-in-law badly, causing her to stay in the Buddhist temple for many years. Thinking of Yi Qing's infatuation for more than ten years, he would treat his sister-in-law sincerely."
Prince Yong paused before continuing, "But I don't know that the discovery of the Empress Dowager's empty coffin will make the Emperor Retired suspicious of the Crown Prince's background.
"I have felt guilty and remorseful for the Crown Prince's death these past few years. I beg Your Majesty to punish me. However, my son Si Jin is a kind and honest man who has nothing to do with these matters. I ask Your Majesty to spare his life."
Si Jin said, "Your Majesty, what the king did was ultimately caused by me. I am willing to share the blame with the king."
Su Heting raised his eyelids slightly, "Yi Qing has been fighting for power and profit in Wuli over the years, and now he holds the power of regent.
As Prince Dayou, if you contacted him privately and knew that he was a secret agent in Dayou and concealed the information, you would be suspected of treason.
The former crown prince respected you, but you colluded with others to abduct his mother and even watched him being imprisoned.
Last time I gave you a chance, but you insisted on concealing Si Jin's identity, which is tantamount to deceiving the emperor. All of the above crimes are punishable by death."
He looked at Si Jin, "Are you willing to die with him?"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I am willing to die, but please spare Si Jin."
Prince Yong spoke before Si Jin could, "Si Jin has already found out about Yi Qing's many secret agents in Dayou.
Your Majesty, he will eliminate those spies for you, please allow him to atone for his crime."
He put the credit on Si Jin in an attempt to save his son's life.
"Father, that's clearly..."
You obviously found it.
But Si Jin was interrupted again, "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed serious sins, but I really didn't know Yi Qing's identity in Wuli before.
I first knew him when the late emperor was seriously ill. He came to me and asked me to take him to visit the late emperor.
Seeing that he looked like the retired emperor, I thought he was the late emperor's child who had been away from home, so I did not dare to hide it from the late emperor.
When the late emperor learned that he had come to the capital, he asked me to bring him into the palace. It was then that I learned that he was the only blood relative of Uncle Ling.
Uncle Ling died to save the late emperor, and Yi Qing also once blocked a knife for the late emperor.
But because he grew up in Wuli, the late emperor did not dare to trust him completely, and also wanted to temper his temper, so he made him a secret guard, thinking that if he had no ill intentions, he would give him an identity in the future and ensure that he would have no worries in his life.
Unexpectedly, he fell in love with the Empress's sister-in-law, who was chosen by the late emperor as the royal daughter-in-law and the future queen mother of Dayou.
Yi Qing's mother was a Wuli spy, so he would never be able to become the Emperor of Dayou. The late emperor didn't even dare to give him a powerful status.
The late emperor loved his sister-in-law so much, he naturally didn't want her to suffer with him.
Therefore, when the late emperor realized that his sister-in-law had recognized the wrong person, he did not tell her the truth, but instead let her marry the retired emperor.
But I felt guilty towards Yi Qing because of this.
Yi Qing assassinated the retired emperor, but was saved by the emperor's sister-in-law. However, he was already dead in Dayou. However, he risked coming to visit the late emperor when he was seriously ill, which made the late emperor feel even more guilty.
Therefore, before he died, he instructed me to help Yi Qing once if he was in trouble in the future.
I have always believed that he had a hard life, but it was only in the past two years that I learned that when he left Dayou, he returned to Uli, won the favor of Emperor Uli, and was crowned the King of the Opposite Sex.
I only figured out the matter of the crown prince after he got into trouble. At that time, the crown prince was imprisoned in the palace, and I was trying to prove his innocence. It was my incompetence that I found nothing, and then the crown prince got into trouble.
Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I beg Your Majesty to spare Si Jin's life. Si Jin will repay Your Majesty's kindness with this life. I am also willing to do anything for Your Majesty, even if it means my death."
Si Jin also tried his best to plead for Prince Yong.
Su Heting sneered, "You two are actually father and son."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Kill Yi Qing, eliminate the threat to the Wuli border, and spare your life."
As for power and wealth, that is impossible.
The late emperor was too loyal and left Yi Qing behind, which led to the events that followed.
The affection that the Crown Prince and Prince Yong once had for each other disappeared completely when Prince Yong helped Yi Qing take Zhou Huiyue away without the Crown Prince's knowledge.
Su Heting no longer has any old feelings to cherish.
After sending away Prince Yong and his son, he finished the matters at hand and went to where Zhou Huiyue was staying.
Zhou Huiyue was pale as she was sewing. Seeing Su Heting coming over, she quickly put down her work and said with a smile, "You are so busy, you don't have to come to see me every day."
Although he said this, his eyes were glued to Su Heting's face. "You look not so good, are you tired? You have so much to do, you have to take care of yourself."
Su Heting picked up the unfinished brocade robe and said, "My son already has clothes to wear. You don't need to make so much."
Since Zhou Huiyue came back, she has been sewing almost every day and has made many clothes and shoes for Su Heting.
Su Heting mostly wore dragon robes in the palace and had no time to wear casual clothes. However, Zhou Huiyue seemed to be working hard and did not take a break every day.
Su Heting has dissuaded him many times.
Zhou Huiyue always smiled and said, "It's not tiring at all. If I have something to do, I won't have any random thoughts."
Su Heting also knew that her past experiences could really overwhelm a person, and the old man also told him to find something to divert his attention, so Su Heting let her do what she wanted.
But seeing her face growing paler, he couldn't help but feel distressed and worried because she was his mother after all.
Zhou Huiyue patted the seat next to her and motioned Su Heting to sit down.
After Su Heting sat down, she asked with a smile, "I heard that you lost your temper just now?"
Su Heting frowned, "Don't listen to Su Que's nonsense."
He was not angry at all, he was clearly worried about Qiao Xi.
"Mother likes to listen to her talk, her chatter is very lively."
Zhou Huiyue poured him a cup of tea and said, "Mother learned a lot about you and Qiao Xi from her.
Mother knows that you are actually worried about her, but Qiao Xi is a woman, and she is taking risks outside for you.
Qiao Xi was originally a very lazy girl, He'er, she really cares about you, so she is willing to run around like this.
I heard that people are praising her highly now. Once a person becomes famous, there will inevitably be some other troubles.
In the future, no one will whisper anything in your ear, He'er, promise your mother that you will not easily doubt the person beside you.
The power is high.
The world's definition of a woman is to stay content behind a man. Now that Qiao Xi has come to the fore, it's inevitable that people with ulterior motives will stir up trouble.
After hearing so much gossip, she was worried that Su Heting would become suspicious like the emperor.
If he was worried that Qiao Xi was trying to fight for power, there would probably be a rift between the two of them.
She had seen too many things like this in the royal family.
But she hoped that when Su Heting sat on this cold dragon throne, he would have someone who shared the same thoughts with him, so that he could live a fulfilling life.
