When Yang Shu was under house arrest in the palace, she couldn't control her temper and acted recklessly. If she were really imprisoned in a Buddhist temple in the future and forced to abide by the rules and regulations, how uncomfortable would she be?

On the other side, Xie Ying, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, curled her lips and thought sarcastically: Yang Shu won't live to see that day.

……

Luo Zheng and his men traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Prince Zhou's Palace in Gusu four days after their departure.

With the golden medal bestowed by Emperor Taihe, the gatekeepers and guards of Prince Zhou's palace did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and quickly reported the news to King Zhou.

In fact, King Zhou had already received the news that Luo Zheng and others were coming. When he learned that they had arrived at King Zhou's Mansion, his face first turned dark, and then he forced a smile, becoming gentle and harmless.

He knew that Luo Zheng was on this trip on behalf of Emperor Taihe, so even though he was already extremely dissatisfied, he did not dare to keep the other party waiting for too long, so as not to confirm the accusation that he intended to rebel.

So Luo Zheng was soon invited into the Prince Zhou's palace, where he met the King Zhou who looked very sick.

Luo Zheng first politely saluted King Zhou, then feigned surprise and asked, "How could His Royal Highness King Zhou suddenly fall ill? Could it be that he was stimulated by something?"

These words sounded like concern, but in fact they were a question to King Zhou, asking whether he had already planted spies in the capital to gather information about the capital!

When King Zhou heard the accusation in his voice, a strong murderous intent suddenly surged in his heart, but he suppressed it.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I only have two legitimate children, but now one of them has committed a serious crime and the other has been poisoned. How can I still have the dignity to live in this world? How can I face my ancestors?"

Last night, I dreamed of my father and elder brother. They scolded me and blamed me for not being able to teach my legitimate daughter well and protect my legitimate son.

This prince was truly ashamed! I wanted to die to atone for my sins, but my father and brother scolded me so much!

They forbade me from committing suicide, saying I couldn't be a coward. They also told me to discipline my children and serve His Majesty well in the future... I am ashamed!"

The more King Zhou spoke, the more excited he became. By the end, his eyes were red, his face was covered with tears, and even his voice was choked with sobs.

Luo Zheng sneered in his heart when he heard this: This King Zhou is really calculating. He is worried that Your Majesty will use him as a scapegoat, so he said that he dreamed of the two former emperors and used them to put pressure on Your Majesty.

He sighed heavily and said with deep sorrow, "Your Majesty is also very worried about the health of the Crown Prince. As soon as the Crown Prince arrived in the capital, Your Majesty specially ordered the Medicine God Doctor and several imperial physicians to detoxify the Crown Prince.

But Your Majesty never imagined that the guards around the Crown Prince would actually hold the Princess of Fu'an hostage, and that Princess Anning would even have someone poison the people around the Divine Doctor, and even poisoned two of the Divine Doctor's medicine boys to death!"

He took out the confessions of Liu Yu and Fang Shuo and handed them to Prince Zhou with a complicated expression. "These are the confessions of Liu Yu and Fang Shuo, two guards of Princess Anning. Your Highness, Prince Zhou, please read them for yourself."

The eunuch guarding King Zhou immediately looked at him. Seeing him nod, he went over to take the paper from Luo Zheng's hand. After quickly checking it, he handed it to King Zhou with a look of shock on his face.

After reading it, King Zhou flew into a rage: "These two are talking nonsense! How could Xiu'er and Shu'er do such a thing? They even dared to accuse me of rebellion! I am your majesty's uncle, how could I rebel against your majesty? This is simply outrageous!"

His eyes were wide open, his face was getting redder the more he spoke, and his chest was heaving. It was obvious that he was extremely angry!

Luo Zheng didn't respond, but just looked at him scrutinizingly.

King Zhou waited for a long time, but seeing that he still refused to give him a way out, he suddenly stood up and said with great sorrow, "If Your Majesty does not believe me, I will draw my sword and kill myself to prove my innocence!"

After saying this, he suddenly drew his sword and was about to commit suicide.
