Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 218 Stupid beyond reach

Leng Qingyi had an excellent sense of smell and she had already smelled the foul odor just now, but she didn't say much.

This stench of shit is really unbearable.

The two Cui brothers also smelled a foul odor from the side and behind them.

He turned around in shock and saw that his usually proud nephew was shaking badly, with a yellow water stain under his body.

The foul smell also came from under his nephew who thought highly of himself.

What else did they not know now? This matter was closely related to their nephew.

This time, the Cui family...

The emperor began the interrogation and the guards quietly withdrew.

Wang Yu, who was being held, suddenly relaxed and fell to the ground.

The accusing voice of the Cui clan member kept coming to my ears.

It was at this moment that the chaotic mind suddenly became clear.

Before coming, he had some guesses in his mind about what would happen when he entered the palace.

The eighth prince has always been favored, and the Cui family is powerful.

He didn't think that this visit to the palace would have any practical impact on the Eighth Prince and the Cui family.

Naturally, I would never have thought that I would end up like this.

After realizing his situation, Wang Yu trembled all over, partly because of pain, but mostly because of fear.

After he came to his senses, he ignored the severe pain in his body and knelt on the ground, enduring the pain.

"Your Majesty, I am but a dog serving the Eighth Prince. If the Eighth Prince had not given me permission, how could I have become the head of the Cui family?"

"Your Majesty, please understand. I am only following the orders of the Eighth Prince. Please spare my life."

"The Eighth Prince is the master and the slave is the servant. I have no choice but to obey the Eighth Prince's orders."

The eighth prince, frightened by the scene and incontinent, turned around with difficulty to look at his most trusted eunuch.

The shock of being betrayed by someone he trusted made him temporarily forget his fear of the bloody scene.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

When did he let Wang Yu instruct that person to deal with the emperor and Concubine Yi?

In this matter, he was at most someone who knew about it but did not report it. How could he be the mastermind?

The brain that had been stupid for more than ten years suddenly became smart at this moment.

"Brother Emperor, someone has framed me. I heard some rumors before this happened."

"But I swear to heaven that I did not do this. At most, I was just aware of it but kept it a secret."

"Besides, you should know better than anyone what kind of people the emperor and his ministers are."

"I don't have that brain."

Leng Qingyi looked at the distorted expression on the Eighth Prince's face and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Her purpose was not to kill the Eighth Prince and the Cui family.

Her goal has been achieved by now.

The Eighth Prince is a fool, but the head of the Cui family is not.

After this commotion, the head of the Cui family should have come to his senses.

"The evidence is irrefutable. There's no need for you, Eighth Prince, to make excuses."

"Someone, suppress the Eighth Prince and behead him in public in five days."

The guards acted quickly. To prevent the Eighth Prince from trying to pull at the door frame again, they knocked him unconscious and carried him away without waiting for him to make a fuss.

"As for Minister Cui and Patriarch Cui, please stay in the capital for now."

Both of them looked unhappy. Although the emperor did not punish them, letting them stay in the capital was also a form of house arrest.

On the way back, Cui Ze was angry and couldn't help but complain a few words.

"Brother, do you think the Emperor is deliberately targeting our Cui family? This incident clearly wasn't done by the Eighth Prince, yet the Emperor insists on pinning the blame on him..."

"Shut up."

"idiot!"

Cui Guan looked at his younger brother with disappointment.

How come the Cui family, a century-old family, is becoming weaker with each generation?

With the support of the Cui family, he worked in officialdom for decades before he was promoted to the position of Minister. How foolish he was.

"Brother, did I say anything wrong?"

Cui Guan pressed his eyebrows and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"If the Emperor is convinced that this was the work of the Eighth Prince, why did he resort to such tactical warfare to bring me here?"

"If you can see the key to this, how can the emperor not see it? If he wanted to punish the Eighth Prince, given his temperament, why would he wait until five days later?"

Although Cui Ze was a bit stupid, he had been in officialdom for decades and was not a useless person.

After a little thought, I figured out the key.

"Your Majesty wants us to find out the real mastermind behind this?"

"Hmph, I guess the Emperor already knows who is behind this, but he just doesn't want to do it himself."

"who is it?"

"Humph, who else can bribe the people around the Eighth Prince by being on good terms with him?"

"Brother is saying..."

"He's hiding it quite well!"
