Systematic cultivation of immortality, I founded the world of cultivation of immortality
Chapter 74 Demoted to Common People
After hearing what the eldest princess said, the emperor turned to look at Bai Yao.
When he knew Bai Yao was a young woman, he had a hint of doubt. It wasn't until he saw her conjuring a white tiger out of thin air and her ability to use spiritual power that he completely believed her.
The most important thing is that Beiyun has already obtained the books on cultivation of immortality first. During the time when Bai Yao was traveling back and forth, he had found all the books on cultivation and studied them.
Cultivation of immortality is not something that can be achieved in a short time, and it requires a talent. If he had obtained the book earlier, he might have been able to get ahead of Beiyun Kingdom.
That's why he believed in Bai Yao without any doubt.
After hearing what the eldest princess said, his first instinct was to believe Bai Yao. However, the eldest princess didn't know the pros and cons, so it was not incomprehensible to say these words.
The emperor sighed and looked at the eldest princess. After all, he softened his heart. She said these words not because she was afraid that he would be deceived. Maybe if he explained to her the reason for cultivating immortals, she would understand him better.
"Okay, stop struggling, we have found out all your crimes."
A voice outside the palace broke the emperor's train of thought.
Mu Yiheng walked in side by side with the prince. His face was high-spirited, while the prince's face was stern.
In fact, he had long disliked the eldest princess's family. She did nothing, ate the salary from the court, and often made trouble for her father.
The father has a good temper and remembers the grace of the eldest princess who protected her with her life when she was a child, but he can't look past it.
He has already thought about it. After his father abdicates, if he inherits the throne, the first thing he will do is to eradicate the cancer of the eldest princess.
At this time, an opportunity happened to be presented to him, but he didn't let it go. He checked the eldest princess's mansion all over.
I thought I would only find out some crimes of corruption, bribery, and soliciting officials. But the final result was really beyond his expectation!
The story of his imperial concubine really refreshed his understanding of her.
People looked at Mu Yiheng and the prince, waiting for their next words.
The prince stepped forward and handed the collected evidence directly to the emperor.
The eldest princess looked at the familiar paper in his hand, her heart beating rapidly, and she felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
She shook her head.
No, she hid those things very secretly and no one would find them.
"Auntie, you hide this thing really well. There is a secret room in the mere eldest princess's mansion."
The eldest princess's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the lake, and her last glimmer of hope was gone.
As he spoke, the prince clasped his fists in Mu Yiheng's direction. "Thanks to Crown Prince Xiling this time, if it weren't for him, I would have let you escape."
The emperor looked at the evidence in his hand, all of which were evidence of the eldest princess' guilt.
He tortured and killed his servants, colluded with other officials to sell illegal salt, and even had close contacts with enemy countries.
With a "pop" sound, the emperor threw the thing in his hand in front of the eldest princess.
"This is all your fault."
The eldest princess looked at the paper on the ground. On it were the fingerprints of the maids and servants in the mansion, all of them accusing her of torturing and killing her servants.
Her sinking heart lifted a little, and she smiled slowly, pretending to be calm.
"Look at you, they're just a bunch of servants. I bought them with money. Those lives are mine. It doesn't matter if I kill a few of them."
She said it lightly, and the others frowned.
Lan Lingwei stood next to the emperor and looked at the eldest princess's eyes, revealing her strangeness.
Is this still the aunt who loves her?
The emperor's heart felt cold to the soles of his feet. They were just a group of servants, so why not kill a few of them? They were still human lives!
No wonder Su Zimeng's methods are so cruel. With such a mother, it's no wonder.
Just seeing her nonchalant look, the emperor was heartbroken.
"Then, how do you explain colluding with officials to sell illicit salt? How do you explain having close private contacts with an enemy country?"
The eldest princess looked at the papers on the ground and took away the top one. Below was her account book for selling private salt, as well as letters between her and the enemy country.
Either of these is a grave sin.
It's just that she is a princess and the emperor's sister, so she dares to be so unscrupulous.
"Whether I am short of food or clothing, or of glory and wealth, I will give you whatever you want. You are walking sideways in the capital. You are not satisfied, and have caused such a serious crime."
There was a look of panic on the face of the eldest princess. If she was convicted of these two things, even if she was the eldest princess and the emperor wanted to protect her, those officials would not let her go.
She stepped forward quickly, "How can it be selling private salt? Salt has always been under the control of our royal family. I am also a member of the royal family. What I sell is also sold by the royal family!"
"Also, the letters with the enemy country are just cooperation between some businessmen and do not reveal any secrets. You can read..."
"enough."
The emperor slapped the table with a "snap" sound,
The eldest princess was frightened. Su Zimeng, who was silent behind her and kept her presence as low as possible, was also frightened.
As usual, she came to the emperor for support when she was wronged, but this time it was different.
She looked at Bai Yao. It was all her. If it weren't for her, the emperor's uncle would still be facing them.
She glared at Bai Yao fiercely.
Bai Yao felt her gaze and looked back with a smile. He deserved as much beating as he wanted.
The emperor's voice then sounded.
"It's all my fault. I've tolerated you for so many years. You've spoiled me and fattened up your courage. That's why you are so ignorant, so arrogant, and treat human life as nothing."
"Today, I will remove Su Zimeng from her position as princess, and demote the eldest princess to a commoner. Our royal family cannot tolerate such a vicious person."
As soon as the words came out, the guards and maidens were all shocked.
They had seen the eldest princess come to the emperor and make trouble many times, but she always left happily.
Unexpectedly, today, he was directly demoted to a civilian.
The eldest princess and Su Zimeng looked at the emperor in disbelief at the same time.
With their identities gone, how can they survive in the capital? How could someone who had bullied them before let them go?
The emperor is not demoting her to a commoner, he is asking her to die!
How could she do this?
The eldest princess looked at the emperor with a sad and disappointed look, "Emperor, we have been siblings for more than thirty years, and now you want to demote me to a commoner! Even if you don't care about family ties, you shouldn't risk my life to save you. Forget about the kindness!”
It was this move again, and the emperor was tired of hearing it.
"Hmph, don't tell me about that matter. Since I became the emperor, how many times have you forced me about this matter? You have forgotten it, but I can't forget it. I have settled so many things for you mother and son over the years. Here. You have been treated on the same level as the Queen, and now you have committed several crimes of beheading. If I don’t kill you, I will be overreaching.”
