The emperor on top seemed to think that what the empress dowager said made sense, and glared at Ma Xiao who was kneeling on the ground with some anger.

It was at this moment that Ma E, who was hiding behind the screen, coughed delicately.

A cough, neither loud nor soft, instantly spread throughout the hall.

Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment.

Different thoughts.

The emperor, on the other hand, turned away with some worry, no longer caring about venting his anger on Ma Xiao.

This action made the Queen Mother, who was already dissatisfied with Ma E, very angry.

She was about to say something when Qin Liao in front of her suddenly spoke.

“Your Majesty, I am the culprit that caused the people in the wild land to be infected with the disease.

I am a Gu master, and the Gu in my hand has the ability to turn people into the living dead.

During the time I was imprisoned in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince used my younger brother as a threat, demanding that I continue to help him make poisonous insects."

When Qin Liao spoke, his mind was filled with the scene of his younger brother looking at him with his eyes open before he died.

The Sixth Prince killed his brother, so he can forget about it!

The emperor at the table listened expressionlessly, his eyes constantly moving between the empress dowager, the queen kneeling on the ground, and the sixth prince.

He was the emperor of Zhao State and could not accept that his people were harmed by his own son.

But his son...

Was your head kicked by a donkey?

The emperor rarely got angry, but instead stroked the memorial in front of him back and forth with a hint of playfulness.

The Sixth Prince below suddenly felt a panic in his heart. He suddenly lowered his head and banged his forehead, making a loud bang.

"Father, Father, I have never done anything like this!"

"Father, please don't listen to the words of a Gu Master!"

Tears welled up in the Sixth Prince's eyes, and along with the tears flowed uncontrollably blood.

Pei Chun watched coldly from behind. When he looked up, he could see that the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes could no longer be concealed.

At this time, the twelfth prince also added fuel to the fire: "The matter of Sixth Brother raising private soldiers has not yet been resolved, and today there is a matter of planting poisonous insects on the people. Sixth Brother, you are really going too far!"

The Twelfth Prince's words were like adding fuel to the fire. The Sixth Prince glared at him angrily and was about to say something.

Ma Xiao at the side also spoke up: "I also know that the Sixth Prince colluded with the Minister of Revenue and embezzled a full 700,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.

The already different expressions on everyone's faces became even more horrified.

Seven hundred thousand taels of silver is such a huge sum of money. If an ordinary minor official had embezzled this seven hundred thousand taels of silver, it could have been enough to support his family's food and drink expenses for a lifetime!

The Queen Mother was still trying to excuse the Sixth Prince at this point: "Who can prove that this is true?

Could it be that based on the words of this one sinner, we could slander the Sixth Prince?

Your Majesty, I don't care. Anyone can throw dirty water on Xuer without any evidence!

Xu'er has lost one arm, but she is still being slandered like this. It's really too miserable!"

The Queen Mother's words were all hinting that the Sixth Prince was not in good health, and she hoped that the Emperor would show some mercy to him and let the matter go.

Hearing this, the left prime minister who was kneeling on the ground behind the queen dowager suddenly spoke up: "Queen Dowager, it is a fact that the people around the twelfth prince were poisoned.

The title of cruelty to the people alone is enough to deprive the Sixth Prince of his title!"

These words made the Queen Mother very angry. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Pei Chun suddenly speak from behind.

His tone was treacherous: "Whether there is evidence or not... we will know after searching."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked over.

Pei Chun looked back calmly, his eyes full of serious advice.

She had been setting up the plan for so long, just waiting for today's sudden change.

Naturally, all preparations must be presented to the emperor, so that the Sixth Prince will lose the status and power he most desires.

The emperor on top of the mountain was the first to look away. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while before he spoke: "In that case, I will go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to check it out myself!"

The eunuch beside the emperor was very discerning and helped the man up, calling out in a sharp voice: "Get up!"
