Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

All relevant documents about the Zicuckoo case were sent to the emperor.

After the emperor read it, he didn't feel much surprise in his heart.

As early as when he learned that the fourth prince might be the mastermind behind the scenes, the emperor had already guessed that someone might deliberately frame the fourth prince.

Seeing these documents now, the emperor only felt that it was so.

In addition to these documents, Yitong also sent a letter written by Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Dali Temple Shaoqing wrote in his heart how he had investigated these clues, and at the end of the letter, he mentioned that the fifth prince already knew about it.

This should have been an innocuous sentence.

However, the emperor's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he immediately had a bad guess in his heart.

With Li Yan's personality, if he knew that the Fourth Prince was wronged, his first thought would definitely be to confront King Dongyang.

If it's just a confrontation, that's all.

I was afraid that Li Yan would do something stupid on impulse.

The emperor ordered immediately.

"Someone send an oral order back to the palace, telling the Fifth Prince to leave and come to Yuqing Mountain! If he doesn't want to come, he must be tied up too!"

Li Yan must not be allowed to stay in the palace, the emperor decided to put him under his nose and watch him in person.

A flying dragon riding guard rushed back at full speed.

However, he was still one step too late.

...

With the lessons learned from the previous two times, this time Li Yan did not run to confront Li Hao in a daze.

Li Yan squatted near Xianfei's residence.

After seeing Concubine Xian appear, Li Yan pretended to pass by by chance, and went up to say hello to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian was accompanied by many people.

But these people didn't take much precaution against the Fifth Prince.

So when Li Yan suddenly pulled out the dagger and stuck the blade to Concubine Xian's neck, everyone was stunned.

By the time they realized it, Concubine Xian had already become a hostage in Li Yan's hands.

Concubine Xian was frightened and angry: "What are you going to do? Let go of me!"

Li Yan's hand holding the dagger was shaking.

Now at this time, he is also very nervous and scared.

He tried to look calmer.

"I want to see King Dongyang."

Everyone hesitated.

Li Yan raised his voice: "If King Dongyang doesn't show up, I'll kill Concubine Xian right now!"

Then everyone rushed to inform King Dongyang.

Concubine Xian: "Calm down, what can't you say properly? Why do you have to use such an extreme method?"

Li Yan ignored her words.

It wasn't until Li Hao rushed to the scene that Li Yan spoke again.

"You finally came."

Seeing his mother and concubine being held hostage, Li Hao immediately became anxious and shouted sharply.

"Come to me if you have something to do, don't touch my concubine mother!"

Li Yan seemed to be laughing, but also seemed to be crying.

"You at least have your concubine mother, but what about me? My concubine mother died protecting me, but I can't even help her get justice."

Li Hao: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, let go of my concubine mother!"

Li Yan: "How could it have nothing to do with you?

Didn't you find the out-of-town merchant who claimed to be Zijuan's younger brother?

And that brothel bustard, didn't you also send someone to check it out?

Even the Fourth Prince was thrown into prison by you.

You did all of these, and you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? "

Li Hao was very irritable: "How many times do I have to say it before I believe it?

Everything I found is true, I didn't lie to you, and I didn't intend to frame Li Ying! "

Li Yan asked: "If you didn't lie to us, why don't you want Dali Temple to retry the case?"

Li Hao's complexion changed slightly, and he stopped talking.

Why is he reluctant to reopen the case?

There are two reasons.

On the one hand, it was because he had a good face and didn't want others to know that the clues he found were all fake.

On the other hand, it was because he didn't want the fourth prince to be released.

Even if the fourth prince's mother and concubine came from a humble background, even if his father was very indifferent to him. But he is still the blood of his father, and he also has the right to inherit the throne.

If he is released, Li Hao will add a competitor to himself.

He doesn't want to.

But these words are secrets that cannot be revealed.

In Li Yan's eyes, Li Hao's silence became an expression of guilt.

Li Yan became more and more emotional: "Speak up! Tell me why you refuse to retry the case?"

Li Hao said with a straight face, stiff and authentic.

"There's no reason. The case has been cleared up. I don't think there is any need to waste manpower and material resources on retrial. It's as simple as that."

How could Li Yan be fooled by such words.

His eye sockets began to turn red, and his voice trembled out of shape.

"For the sake of calling you second brother, tell me honestly, is it you who is the master behind Zijuan? Does my concubine's death have anything to do with you?"

Li Hao denied it without hesitation: "No, no! I didn't do anything!"

Li Yan shook his head: "You lied..."

Before he finished speaking, Concubine Xian suddenly grabbed his arm, opened her mouth and bit down hard!

Li Yan screamed out in pain: "Ah!"

Li Hao immediately rushed over at the fastest speed in his life, grabbed Li Yan's right arm, and forced it outward.

Concubine Xian took the opportunity to break free from the shackles and wanted to escape, but Li Li Yan grabbed her hair from behind.

Li Yan pulled very hard this time.

Concubine Xian felt that her scalp was almost being pulled off, her complexion turned pale from the pain, and she had to step back with all her strength.

Seeing this, Li Hao wanted to reach out to save his concubine mother.

Li Yan took the opportunity to withdraw his right hand, raised the dagger and stabbed at Concubine Xian's back.

Li Hao's complexion changed drastically, and without even thinking about it, he raised his leg and kicked Li Yan's chest, wanting to kick the guy away.

Li Yan instinctively raised his hand to block it.

Coincidentally, Li Hao's kick happened to land on the back of Li Yan's hand.

Li Yan still held a dagger in his hand.

The blade of the dagger was extremely sharp, and it pierced into his chest with force.

In an instant, blood spattered.

The closest Li Hao and Concubine Xian were all spattered with blood.

The other people present were all terrified and screamed in panic.

Li Yan lowered his head, looked at the dagger stuck in his chest, his eyes widened a little bit, as if he couldn't believe it was actually true.

He slowly let go of his fingers, staggered and fell into a pool of blood.

...

Inside the town government.

After Hua Manman changed her clothes, she turned her head and found that Ruyun was holding her pants and muttering to herself.

"Why is there no blood?"

Hua Manman couldn't help asking, "What are you mumbling about?"

Siyun looked at her: "Your Guishui this month hasn't come yet, logically it should have come two days ago."

Hua Manman didn't care much about such trivial matters, and said casually.

"Maybe it will come in two days."

For some reason, Siyun thought of something, and suddenly became excited: "You must be pregnant, right?"

Hua Manman laughed: "You think too much, it's impossible."

She had taken the Bizidan, so it was impossible for her to conceive.

Seeing that what she said so confidently that it should be true, Siyun couldn't help showing disappointment.

As soon as the two went out, they found that the sky outside was dark and cloudy, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to come.
