Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Four days later, Wu Wang reported the results of the investigation to the emperor.

"The testimonials of the prostitute in the brothel and the merchants from other places are all here, and what they said is almost the same as what the second prince said."

The emperor read those few pages of confession from beginning to end, frowning slightly.

Judging from the clues found so far, the fourth prince, Li Ying, is indeed the most suspected.

But the emperor always had some doubts in his heart.

He thought it was all too coincidental.

Why did that out-of-town businessman happen to be in the hands of the second prince?

Why can the people around the second prince just happen to see what Liang Yong said to others?

There is also the procuress of the brothel, she greets and sees off every day, and has met countless people, how can she remember a trivial matter many years ago so clearly?

The emperor is used to thinking of the worst.

He suspected that someone was deliberately fueling the flames in this matter, with the purpose of framing the fourth prince.

Once the planting is successful, the person who will benefit the most will be the second prince.

In other words, it is very likely that the second prince is calling for a thief to catch the thief.

The emperor closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke for a long time.

"According to my will, the fourth prince will be imprisoned in Dali Temple and wait for disposal."

Since the purpose of the person behind the scenes was to frame the fourth prince, he followed suit and locked up the fourth prince first, pretending to severely punish the fourth prince. In this way, the people behind the scenes will definitely feel that their plan has succeeded, and they will inevitably get carried away.

Once a person forgets his form, it is easy to show his feet.

Wu Wang respectfully replied: "Here."

When Concubine Xian heard that the fourth prince was imprisoned, she immediately ordered someone to investigate the situation, and learned that the second prince was responsible for this incident.

Concubine Xian was surprised, but also faintly worried.

Mammy reassured.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the second prince just reported what he knew to the saint.

He did the right thing in this matter, the saint has always been very clear about rewards and punishments, so he will definitely not take his anger out on him. "

Concubine Xian frowned: "This is not what I am worried about."

Mammy was puzzled: "Then what are you worried about?"

In fact, even Concubine Xian couldn't tell what she was worried about.

She just felt uneasy.

It seemed that something bad was about to happen.

...

In the second prince's mansion, Li Hao laughed out loud when he learned that the fourth prince had been arrested.

"That boy Li Ying really did the thing. Li Yan insisted on pouring dirty water on me. I'm going to the palace to find Li Yan. I have to ask him to apologize to me!"

After speaking, he laughed and went out, got on his horse, and went straight to the palace.

In fact, Li Yan had already learned about the arrest of the fourth prince.

But he still couldn't believe it.

He didn't believe that the cowardly and gloomy fourth prince in his impression, who couldn't make a fart with a stick, could design to frame others.

He didn't even want to believe that he had lost his sight.

Unfortunately, things backfired.

The more Li Yan refused to face it, the more God would force him to face it.

Li Hao appeared triumphantly in front of Li Yan, and deliberately raised his voice to speak.

"I told you at the beginning that the murder of Concubine Liu Gui has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, now you know you made a mistake, right?"

Li Yan's face turned red, he was too embarrassed to speak.

Li Hao likes to see him wanting to refute but has nothing to say the most, and he smiles more and more complacently.

"Before you shot at me in public, which made me lose face. Now that the truth is revealed, shouldn't you apologize to me properly?"

Li Yan clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be too complacent!"

Li Hao looked at her with raised eyebrows: "What? Don't you even have the courage to admit your mistakes?"

"Who said I don't have any?" Li Yan retorted viciously, "Isn't it just an apology? Well, I apologize to you. I misunderstood you. I shouldn't do anything to you before the truth is found out. It's all mine. Wrong, so you should be satisfied, right?"

Li Hao was very dissatisfied: "You are apologizing? You are clearly provoking."

Li Yan didn't care so much.

"Anyway, I've already apologized, whatever you say."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Li Hao was very angry, and shouted at his leaving back: "I don't accept your apology! This matter is endless!"

Li Yan didn't even turn his head.

He didn't care whether Li Hao accepted his apology, he just wanted to find Li Ying as soon as possible and ask him clearly in person.

If Li Ying really did it, he will definitely make Li Ying pay for it!

Inside the cell of Dali Temple.

Li Ying was sitting on the cold ground with his back against the wall, his eyes looking ahead, wondering what he was thinking.

There was a sound of footsteps from far and near.

The door was opened, and a person walked in.

It was Li Yan, the fifth prince.

He stood still on crutches, and gave orders without looking back.

"You all go out."

The jailers exited obediently and closed the cell door by the way.

But they did not go far, but quietly guarded the door.

Through a cell door, they could clearly hear conversations in the cell.

Li Ying raised her head, her gaze stayed on the crutch Li Yan was leaning on for a moment, and asked.

"Why is fifth brother here?"

Li Yan said disgustedly: "Don't call me fifth brother, I don't have a brother from a humble background like you."

Li Ying was obviously used to this kind of vicious language, and he didn't get angry, just kept silent.

Li Yan always kept in mind the purpose of his trip.

He stared into the other's eyes pressingly.

"It was really you who designed to frame me and my concubine mother?"

Li Ying asked without answering, "If I said no, would you believe me?"

Li Yan: "What evidence do you have to prove your innocence?"

Li Ying was silent again.

Li Yan: "Now all the evidence points to you, but you have no evidence to prove your innocence. From this point of view, you are the real culprit behind the scenes."

Li Ying denied it without hesitation.

"I'm not."

Li Yan sneered: "There is no evidence for what you say."

Li Ying was silent again.

In Li Yan's eyes, his silence became a symbol of guilt.

The hatred in Li Yan's chest was burning wildly. Without thinking about it, he swung his crutches and slammed it towards Li Ying's knee!

"You ruined my leg, and I will ruin yours too!"

Li Ying rolled on the spot, dodging the crutches.

The crutch hit the wall hard, making a crisp sound.

The jailers guarding the door were startled by the movement, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Li Ying roared without looking back: "It's none of your business!"

When he talked about crutches, he wanted to throw Li Ying on him, his red eyes filled with deep hatred.

Li Ying kept retreating and dodging.

The guards outside the door were afraid that something would happen to the fourth prince, so they hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.

Even though the fourth prince is now the body of a sinner, he is the emperor's own flesh and blood after all. If he is beaten to death in a prison cell and the emperor pursues him later, they will all have to be punished.

They hurriedly hugged Li Yan.

"Your Highness Fifth, calm down, don't fight any more!"
