The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 148 Secret Letter of Rebellion

imperial study room

Imperial Censor Li Rang went straight to the Imperial Study. He knelt before the Emperor, clasped his fists, and said, "Your humble servant, Li Rang, greets His Majesty!"

Leng Aotian looked at Li Rang, somewhat puzzled: "My dear Li, the morning court just ended. What urgent matter has brought you to see me in such a hurry?"

Li Rang took out a letter from his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, this morning I was about to go to court. As soon as I walked out of the palace gate, someone blocked my way.

It was said that someone had secretly hidden the dragon robe and was planning a rebellion, and wanted to use an old minister to present this letter to the emperor.

Because this matter is of great importance, I dare not open this letter in the court."

These words were like a thunderclap, catching Leng Aotian off guard. A cold light flashed in his eyes: "There are still people who covet the throne!"

Qin Wuyi stepped forward, took the letter and presented it to the emperor.

Emperor Xuancheng's expression became extremely solemn, and his eyes became gloomy.

"How dare you! You're even thinking of rebelling! I'd like to see who is this foolish person who has such wild dreams and still wants to take the throne. What wishful thinking!"

He tore open the fire seal and took out the letter. When he saw the lines of words, veins on his forehead bulged and his eyes began to spit fire.

He clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the desk: "This evil creature, I really didn't realize that the dragon robe is already made, and the next step is to kill my brother and father."

Qin Wuyi glanced at the letter, and when he saw the three words "Prince Zhan's Mansion", cold sweat began to drip down his forehead.

He began to mutter in his heart: "The War King wants to rebel, impossible!

He has never been interested in the throne and has always wanted to live a carefree life. This must be some evil person framing him and trying to harm the War King."

He moved slightly to the side to avoid suspicion and let the emperor know that he had not read the contents of the letter.

"War King, so cruel!

Li Rang, this matter concerns you. Call the commander of the Imperial Guards and lead them to Prince Zhan's mansion to search for the dragon robe. Seal the mansion and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.

"Yes, I obey the order."

"Qin Wuyi, Lao Jiu will come to thank you in a while. He should be on his way now. You go and guard outside the door.

The couple has arrived. Tell Princess Zhan not to come in and let her go pay her respects to the Queen."

"Yes, I will go out and guard it now."

Qin Wuyi and Li Rang left the house one after another. Qin Wuyi clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Lord Li. If you can overthrow the War King, you will have made a great contribution. This time you will be promoted and rich."

Li Rang felt very uncomfortable hearing this, as if he was in cahoots with the person who wrote the letter. He hurriedly clarified, "Eunuch Qin, please don't say that.

We are loyal to the Lord, and besides, the letter is unopened and I have never read it."

"You have presented evidence of Prince Zhan's rebellion. This is clearly an act of opposition to Prince Zhan's palace."

Li Rang didn't want to argue anymore. If he continued, he would get himself into trouble.

There were many guards and eunuchs outside the imperial study, and Qin Wuyi could do nothing but stand in the yard waiting for King Zhan.

…………

The capital city is very prosperous, with a constant stream of traffic on the streets.

Ye Qingyan lifted the car curtain and saw a familiar figure in the distance. It was Chu Xingyi.

There was a woman next to her, whom she knew. She was the concubine of Minister Lin.

The carriage moved forward and unknowingly arrived at the palace.

Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan went directly to the outside of the imperial study.

When Chief Steward Qin saw the newlyweds arrive, he hurried forward and said, "This old servant greets the prince and princess!

The Emperor has ordered the Princess to go to Fengning Palace. My Lord, please follow me in. The Emperor has something important to discuss with you."

Qin Wuyi turned his back to some people, brushed off the dust on his clothes with one hand, touched his chin with his index finger, and looked at the imperial study again.

Leng Jiuyuan blinked, meaning he understood. He turned to Ye Qingyan and said, "Princess, please go to Fengning Palace to pay your respects to the Queen Mother. I will be there shortly."

Ye Qingyan straightened Leng Jiuyuan's clothes again and nodded.

The two of them already knew it well.

What he meant was that this matter was related to the dragon robe, and someone wanted to frame Prince Zhan's mansion for secretly keeping the dragon robe, and wanted to kill Leng Jiuyuan.

The emperor will most likely use this opportunity to get rid of his biggest threat.

"Your Highness, I'll be waiting for you at Fengning Palace."

After saying that, Ye Qingyan walked out.

Leng Jiuyuan came to the imperial study and knelt down: "Your son greets the emperor."

Emperor Xuancheng's deep eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Old Nine, I never thought that you would want to sit on this throne. You are quite courageous.

The Crown Prince is your brother from the same mother, yet you want to compete with him? Do you want to kill me too?"

Leng Jiuyuan was confused, "I don't know why your Majesty said these words.

Since returning from the border, I have been diligent and conscientious in my duties. I have never overstepped my bounds, let alone entertained any inappropriate thoughts."

Leng Aotian snorted coldly: "You are pretending to be repairing the plank road, but secretly attacking Chencang!

Don't pretend in front of me, the facts are right in front of you, see for yourself!"

After saying this, the emperor angrily threw the letter directly in front of Leng Jiuyuan.

Prince Zhan picked up the letter, pulled out the paper, opened it, and immediately became furious. He hurriedly explained: "Father, this is a malicious frame-up.

I have never done anything like this, and I have no desire to ascend to a high position. I only want to be a leisurely prince."

The emperor began to think: I finally got hold of the ninth brother's handle, I must take advantage of him.

What is written in the letter is true, whether it is false or not.

Opportunities are rare and will never come back. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Lao Jiu, it will be even more difficult in the future."

He stood up and said sternly, "Old Nine, no matter what others say, I believe you and have always valued you over the years.

But I never expected that you would do such a heinous thing. I am so disappointed.

He ordered: "Come here, take Leng Jiuyuan to the prison and wait for his punishment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several palace guards came in and took the King of War out.

Leng Jiuyuan was extremely angry and shouted loudly: "If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die; if the father wants his son to die, the son must die."

He was escorted towards the prison.

When Qin Wuyi was closing the door, he winked at a young eunuch. The eunuch understood and quickly ran towards Fengning Palace.

Ye Qingyan left the courtyard of the imperial study and went to a secluded place. She teleported back to Prince Zhan's mansion.

"Feng Yi, someone reported that the Zhan Palace was secretly storing the dragon robe. The enemy has made preparations. Once the dragon robe is found, the entire Zhan Palace will be executed.

Keep an eye on which courtyard the dragon robe is found from."

"Yes!"

At this time, Lord Li and the commander of the Royal Guards had already brought their men to Prince Zhan's mansion.

An Er and the butler came out and asked, "Master Li, I wonder what brings you here?"

Li Rang, with an arrogant air, ignored him and instead ordered, "Prince Zhan's mansion is secretly hoarding the dragon robe with the intention of treason. Come, search!"

Some imperial guards went directly to Leng Jiuyuan's study and bedroom."

They searched everywhere, books and clothes were scattered everywhere, and the ground was a mess.

Ye Qingyan did not appear in front of everyone, but entered the space...
