The ministers were in an uproar, and the emperor was even more furious.

Since ancient times, the struggle for power between princes has never been made public.If brothers and sisters don't get along, isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?

"Princess, be careful what you say."

Yiman glanced at the emperor and said, "My lords, please don't worry. Your Majesty, I have captured four assassins, and the bodies of the assassins killed by Zhou Yu have also been handed over to Dali Temple. I think Wu Zuo can also find out something. I The reason why we say it was an assassination by the prince is well-founded."

The emperor sneered, "Whose prince do you think he is?"

Yiman narrowed his eyes, "I suspect he is the seventh prince."

"Isn't the Seventh Prince keeping vigil?"

"That's right, I heard that the seventh prince recognized the eldest princess as his mother?"

"Didn't His Majesty issue an edict and reprimand him?"

"The Duan family has fallen. There should be no one around the seventh prince now, right?"

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, he asked the minister to speak for him. Yiman cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that I may misunderstand the seventh prince, so I have sent people from the eldest princess's palace to visit the seventh prince in the mausoleum of the late emperor and empress. If it is the seventh prince, If he is not here, there will be serious suspicions. Please do not be biased, Your Majesty. If the seventh prince is indeed recuperating in the mausoleum, I am willing to go there in person to make amends."

The emperor couldn't see the slightest expression on his face, and he still looked calm and confident, but Yiman gradually believed the results of Zhou Yu's investigation.

"In that case, let's call the Seventh Prince to the palace to ask questions."

Seeing the emperor speak, Yiman immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Naturally, no one could be found in the tomb of the former emperor and empress, because the seventh prince had arrived in the capital half a month ago.

Yiman stood in the torture room and looked at the seventh prince who was beaten unconscious and kidnapped. He said indifferently, "You can interrogate him however you want."

"Yes."

After walking out of the torture room and returning to the study, he saw Mrs. Jin had arrived.

"Mrs. Jin, please sit down."

"Thank you, Princess. I heard that the Princess was assassinated. Are you feeling well?"

Yiman nodded with a smile, "Mrs. Jin, don't worry, Gao Yang's army is already rushing to Luocheng, and I think they will arrive before the Jin family's army runs out of food."

Mrs. Jin's face turned red and she nodded, "Before, I was a small-minded wife. Don't blame me, Princess."

Yiman smiled slightly, "Actually, I also know some of the inside story of Tan Jiajun, but I just have some speculations that I want to confirm."

Mrs. Jin suddenly raised her head and said, "Princess, do you know who it is?"

Sure enough, there was someone plotting in the court. Mrs. Jin returned to Beijing this time to find out who killed Tan Jiajun.

"I can probably guess it, but there is no evidence yet. I just don't understand how the 10,000+ people in the Tan family army were massacred by Tugui. Was there a traitor in Luo City at that time?"

Mrs. Jin lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, she spoke, "Princess, the Jin family's army has always been a weapon for the country and cannot be used as a tool to fight for power."

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "Mrs. Jin, if the person in power has connections with foreign countries, will the Jin family still be a mere weapon of the country?"

Mrs. Jin suddenly raised her head, "What do you mean, princess?"

Yiman took a sip of tea and said, "I'm just guessing, there is no evidence yet. If Mrs. Jin really wants to get the ironclad evidence, wouldn't she know who it is if she grabs and beats the Lancheng guard on the way back to Luocheng?" ?”

Mrs. Jin was stunned for a moment and could not speak. She had obviously believed most of Yiman's words.

Yiman glanced at it and continued: "I am not trying to fight for power, but just follow the trend. Mrs. Jin thinks, among the princes today, who can compare with me?"

"The eldest princess has the support of a top-notch family, so others can't compare to her."

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Yiman shook his head slightly, "Zhou Yu and I fall in love with each other. Even without the Zhou family behind him, I can do it as long as I want. I thought Mrs. Jin was in the military He is a person who believes in true love. Unexpectedly, within a few days of arriving in Beijing, I felt that everyone was being taken advantage of by marriage."

"The eldest princess has a charming temperament, and I admire her. The Jin family has an army of 6 to [-] people, and I really can't make the decision."

If Mrs. Jin could not make the decision, she would not enter the capital.

Yiman smiled slightly, "I understand Madam's concerns, but for an emperor who can even kill his own daughter, and an emperor who can bury more than [-] loyal souls, doesn't Madam Jin understand the principle of good birds choosing trees to roost in?"

<divclass="contentadv">After saying that, Yiman picked up the tea cup and said, "Lu Bo, see the guests off."

Lu Bo walked in just in time, as if he had something to say, "Mrs. Jin, it's inconvenient for people to see this. I've prepared a carriage at the back door. Please."

Mrs. Jin was still in shock. She glanced at Yiman, nodded, and walked out of the study.

"Lu Bo, what's the matter?"

"Princess, the seventh princess is here. Sister Hanzhi sent people to stop her. She is in the flower hall now."

What is she here for?

Yiman frowned. Not only was there an assassination case against her, but also the inside story of the destruction of 10,000+ members of the Tan family army. They also had to conquer the Jin family, so there was no time to serve her.

"What's the matter?"

"The seventh princess only said that she would wait until she sees the eldest princess, but she seems to be refusing to leave until she sees you."

Yiman frowned slightly and walked towards the flower hall.

When they met, the seventh princess stood up reluctantly with a droopy face.

Yiman glanced at him and saw that he was different from the past. He was very polite today.

Bai Renyi is much thinner, with brownish dark circles under her eyes, and her appearance is no longer flashy. She looks like she has changed a lot.

Yiman lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup, "I heard that your family is at odds with your consort, so how come you still have time to come here?"

Bai Renyi immediately gritted his teeth and was about to get angry, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.The maid behind him pulled her sleeves, but she endured it.

"Is my royal brother here with you?"

Yiman raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Did His Majesty ask you to come, or did the Seventh Prince's staff ask you to come?"

Thinking that she was right, the seventh princess's face changed and she was about to get angry, "You——"

"Bai Renyi, you have to understand that I am different from you. If you have nothing important to do, please leave immediately."

After saying that, Yiman stood up and walked out of the flower hall.

"Bai Yiman, do you think I was the only one using the whipped maids and eunuchs in Yeting at that time? My imperial brother is a hundred times more powerful and cruel than you. One day, I will become the eldest princess, and you will be a hundred times worse than me today. .”

Yiman stopped with his back to Bai Renyi, "You can only rely on other people's ferocity. After all, it belongs to others. Lu Bo, if you still don't want to leave after seeing off your guests, just call the imperial guards."

"Yes."

Yiman walked out of the flower hall and went to the execution room in the mansion.

Looking at the bloody seventh prince who was tied to the shelf, he took two steps forward and was stopped by Bai Yi.

"Princess be careful."

Yiman nodded and took two steps forward, "I was surprised when I heard from my royal brother that you have no emotions. People like you must have a cruel and venting side, but you usually look too gentle. "

The seventh prince seemed to be awake, twitching his lips and smiling.

"I didn't know until today that your way of venting your anger turned out to be so low-level. You and Bai Renyi have the same interest in whipping the maids and eunuchs in Yeting to vent your anger."

The seventh prince coughed twice, "Bai Renyi is here?"

Yiman smiled lightly and said, "I am curious, since you no longer have the support of the Duan family, why do you still believe in the empty promise given to you by the emperor?"

The seventh prince took a few deep breaths and said, "The bad thing is that Bai Renyi doesn't have the ability like you, otherwise I would definitely be better than the prince."

Looking at him in confusion, "Do you think only the emperor and others can give you everything?"

The seventh prince suddenly fell silent, with a sinister smile that he had never seen before on his face.

Bai Yi immediately stepped forward and pulled Yiman away, "Be careful, princess."

Yiman shook his head slightly, "Since you said you wanted to take me as your mother, I don't believe a word of it. When you are thrown on the table tomorrow, do you think the emperor will protect you?"
