The exhortations of the first emperor before his death still echoed in the prime minister's ears.

"I know that time is running out. Right now, the crown prince is too weak in the court, and Beiji is staring at him. It can be described as internal and external troubles. I originally wanted to deal with Beiji myself, but now it seems too late."

In recent years, the secret battle between the prince and King Yi has intensified, but the prime minister has never expressed his attitude, neither supporting the prince nor King Yi.

He didn't stand in line because he was worried about offending anyone, but in his opinion, neither the prince nor the king of Yi was suitable to be the king of Yi.

The prince's temperament is too weak, lacking the spirit of a decisive emperor, and his foundation in the court is unstable.However, the Queen Mother of Yi clan is too powerful. If he proclaims himself emperor, it will be even more unfavorable for the development of Yu Yi Kingdom.

"The noble concubine's family is too powerful. In the future, the crown prince's ascension to the throne may be hindered. The prince has a pure nature. If he is accompanied by loyal ministers, he will become a wise king in the future."

"In this way, I will entrust Ye'er and Yiguo Jiangshan to the prime minister."

Arriving at the Hall of Qianhe, the prime minister stood silently at the head of the ministers, with mixed feelings in his heart.Since he was entrusted by the first emperor, even if he risked his old life, he would also protect the Yi Kingdom and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

King Yi stood at the forefront of the princes, leading the way.

After seeing Gu Ye take his seat, he said aggressively, "Your Majesty

It was said earlier that the murderer had been identified, but who is the murderer? "

Gu Ye sat on the dragon chair, and did not answer his question directly, but slowly said, "Yi Wang kept saying that the murderer was Xie Chengyan before, but can you provide evidence?"

"Naturally." Yi Wang put his hands behind his back and took a step forward confidently, "I have caught the murderer who poisoned the blood butterfly, and the person behind the scenes is Xie Chengyan."

"Oh? Where is this person now? Quickly bring her to the hall." Gu Ye sat on the dragon chair and said in a flustered and urgent tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yi Dynasty Gu Ye finished his salute, and immediately turned to greet the guards, "Bring her up to me."

The corner of King Yi's mouth raised slightly to reveal an evil smile, and Xie Chengyan was really nothing to be afraid of, and let him be arrogant on the dragon chair for another two days.

Jiang Xueer was escorted up by several guards limping, and knelt tremblingly on the court hall.

I saw that she had changed into neat and simple clothes, and no makeup was applied on her face.It was the first time for Xu to see such a scene, and she was trembling with fright. She looked charming, like an honest woman from a good family.

"This person is the one who died under the blood butterfly." Yi Wang walked to Jiang Xueer's side, with one hand behind his back and the other hand pointing at the embarrassed person on the ground.

"Raise your head and tell me what's going on." Gu Ye said to Jiang Xueer who was below.

Jiang Xueer was stunned for a moment when she saw Gu Ye, isn't he the prince?Why are you sitting on the dragon chair now?

Could it be that the emperor is already dead, so she committed the crime of regicide and must die?King Yi really lied to her.

"Instigated by Xie Chengyan, this person infiltrated the Department of Internal Affairs and went to the Blood Butterfly..." King Yi confidently narrated the lie he had fabricated.

"I asked her to say, didn't King Yi hear it?" Gu Ye interrupted King Yi, his tone was calm but with the coercion of the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty." King Yi shut his mouth resentfully. The moment he lowered his head, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he stepped back to his original position.

"Jiang Xueer, tell me carefully what happened that day, and you must not lie." Gu Ye looked at Jiang Xueer and said.

King Yi also glanced at Jiang Xueer at the right time, threatening.

Jiang Xue'er was so frightened by the double pressure from King Yi and the prince that she fell to the ground, weighing the pros and cons quickly in her mind, and then spoke slowly after a while.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything the servant does is guided by the son-in-law. The son-in-law took care of everything, ordered the servant to sneak into the inner government department, and gave the servant a chance to disperse, otherwise the servant will be killed."

Jiang Xue'er cried aggrievedly while talking, "The emperor's lesson is that it was all ordered by the son-in-law, and the slaves had no choice but to obey the arrangement of the son-in-law."

"By the way, the servant girl also knows that the son-in-law is a spy sent by Beiji, and the servant girl still has a secret letter between the son-in-law and Beiji." Jiang Xueer took out the letter that Xie Chengyan deliberately left in the study before speaking. letter.

"Well said! It's just that there are still a few things that I don't know about." Gu Zhaozhao's voice sounded, and he walked towards Jiang Xue'er.

"First, you kept saying that the son-in-law threatened your life and asked you to work for him. If that's the case, why did he save you during the spring hunt?"

"This..." Jiang Xueer was silent, speechless.

"Naturally, it's to use her. Doesn't the princess even know such a simple truth?" Yi Wang said with disdain.

Gu Ye glanced at Gu Zhaozhao, and said, "I saw her during the spring hunt, she was indeed rescued from the wolf's mouth by Xie Chengyan, but her whereabouts are unknown."

Gu Zhaozhao smiled lightly, the fish took the bait, and said silently, "Then this is the second question."
