Prince Han Sien

When Han Si'en rushed to the palace with Fang Zuo's testimony, the eldest princess was already pleading guilty to the emperor.

When the eldest princess pleaded guilty, she was dressed in formal attire, she looked very noble, and the expression on her face was majestic and righteous.

The emperor is surprised, his expression is very surprised, and his heart may be neither surprised nor surprised. Generally speaking, he still tends to be surprised.He slowly picked up the Jiuzhuan Jinlong teapot in front of the imperial case, and refilled himself a cup of tea with his own hands. After taking a sip, the hot tea fell from his throat to the bottom of his heart. Holding back his majesty, he didn't jump up and howl on the spot, but his expression was distorted.

Yuan Bao looked aside, his heart raised his throat, he hurriedly took the teacup, and patted his back to smooth it out, seeing that the emperor's face was not so ugly, he returned to the original place.

The emperor liked to watch people make tea, and he also liked to drink hot tea, so the tea he drank was cooked by Yuan Bao himself and put in the teapot.

It's just that on weekdays Yuanbao would pour tea and add water for the emperor calmly after feeling the temperature of the tea was moderate, so that the emperor would neither feel overwhelmed nor feel his mouth burn when he drank it.

In this matter, Yuan Bao has never missed it, and now the emperor himself suddenly made such a move, and then burned himself.

The emperor was burned, but his mind was also burnt back. He looked at the eldest princess and said, "You said, you asked someone to assassinate Han Si'en? Is there any evidence to prove it? Also, who are they? How do you know?" know?"

Two lines of tears flowed from the eldest princess's eyes, and she said: "These people are people from Jiangnan who I overheard mentioned after Zuoer was injured. They specialize in this kind of business. There is a gambling house in Beijing called Jiangnan dark Liu, the emperor can send people to investigate the six residences on North Street, but when we contacted them, they had already stopped. As the princess, I forced them to help me for the last time. This is their token, Those assassins who got caught should have something similar."

After saying this full of loopholes, the eldest princess handed over the waist card in her sleeve.

Yuan Bao held the waist card and checked it carefully before placing it in front of the emperor's eyes. The front side of the waist card was very rough, and there was only one number eight, but the back was very delicate, with bright peach blossoms depicted on it.

Among the captured assassins, some actually had waist cards, but the front was not a number, but a word, and the painting on the back was not a peach blossom.

The emperor put the waist badge on the imperial case at will, and he winked at Yuan Bao, who left quietly.

Then the emperor looked at the eldest princess who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes darkened, and his voice was a little dangerous: "Elder sister, are you talking about three-year-old children? If you really have the truth, then tell the truth, use this To deceive me with lies is the crime of deceiving the emperor, even if you are my imperial sister, I will never forgive you lightly."

After hearing this, the eldest princess was alternately happy and sad. The happy thing was that the emperor really hated people bullying the emperor the most. The sad thing was that she had a hard time passing this test, and she might not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

The eldest princess wept while thinking: "Your Majesty, what I said is true. I did overhear this matter. At that time, Han Si'en had just abolished Zuo Er for the rest of his life. Thinking that he would not be able to hold chopsticks in the future, As a mother, I feel like a knife is twisting my heart. I feel resentful in my heart, and I always want Han Sien to give Zuoer a hand. Hearing the news, I contacted him personally. I just want Han Sien to accept I was wounded, I never thought of murdering someone, let alone implicating the third prince. After hearing that the third prince was also injured, I was really terrified, but I was lucky. Unexpectedly, in the end, paper could not contain the fire But your majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Zuo Er, if your majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

The eldest princess insisted that she didn't intend to kill anyone, but just wanted to hurt Han Si'en, and she also insisted that those assassins were sent out by herself and had nothing to do with others.Although she knew that the emperor didn't believe it, but now she could only say so.

It might be possible to save his own life in this way. If he believed that he wanted Han Si'en and the third prince to die, it would really be a capital offense.

The emperor looked at the eldest princess with serious eyes. At this time, a servant outside the door asked Han Sien to see her.

When the eldest princess heard Han Sien's pleading for an audience, she immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, one of my ministers is responsible for everything. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Zuo'er. Now Han Sien has fabricated evidence to frame Zuo'er in order to avenge himself. This is a crime of deception." The king's crime is truly treasonous."

The emperor felt a little tired of the eldest princess's remarks, he ignored the eldest princess, and said to the door: "Xuan."

The servant outside the door called out, and Han Sien's figure appeared in the imperial study.

He walked away calmly, but when he saw the eldest princess who was crying bitterly on the ground, Han Sien showed a trace of surprise on his face, then he looked away, glanced at the emperor, and then paid his respects.

The emperor was overjoyed by his glance, and was a little annoyed at Han Sien's obedience. Although he didn't want to see the eldest princess and Fang Zuo because of Fang Tian's incident, Han Sien couldn't use perjury to arrest people. If so, spread the word , Isn't there a mess in the court?

Thinking of this, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "Recruited?" His tone was not very good, and he really wanted to give Han Sien a chance to reform himself.

Han Si'en hesitated for a while, his face was a little embarrassed, then he held Fang Zuo's testimony above his forehead with both hands, and said dryly in a low voice: "I recruited a few."

The emperor had never seen Han Sien like this before, and it was a sign of guilty conscience.The emperor glared at Han Sien, but Han Sien lowered his head and didn't see it.

After a long time, the emperor pointed at Yuan Bao who had just entered the door with his chin, and asked him to present the testimony of Fang Zuo in Han Sien's hand.

When the testimony was handed to him, the emperor did not open it immediately, but looked at Han Sien and said indifferently: "Han Sien, if someone deceives the emperor, what should be the crime?"

Han Si'en was obviously stunned for a while, and then replied respectfully: "Return to the emperor, this is a capital offense."

"If someone knows that it is a capital offense, but still dies without repentance?" the emperor continued to ask gloomily.

Han Si'en frowned, and thought of an idea: "Death plus death? Take one hundred corpses?"

The emperor: "..." Talking about this with Han Sien, he always felt that his heart hurts badly.

Since Han Si'en didn't appreciate it, the emperor didn't bother to excuse him, he didn't even have the interest to reveal the testimony, and asked a little lazily: "Then tell me, what happened to Fang Zuo's case, he confessed a little What?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Han Si'en showed a guilty expression on his face. He looked at the emperor and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, forgive me. I opened my mouth at the beginning, but now I have found out Mr. Fang and the assassin who assassinated me. It doesn't matter. After the emperor's verdict, I will definitely apologize to Mr. Fang, I am ashamed of the emperor..."

"Wait a minute." The emperor felt that there was something wrong with his ears. He looked at the eldest princess who was kneeling on the ground and suddenly raised her head with a silly expression on her face. It doesn't matter?"

Han Si'en looked ashamed: "Yes, after repeated investigations, the assassin did slander Mr. Fang. It's just that I was deceived by him at the beginning, and the speculation that Mr. Fang is an accomplice is too subjective. This is really my fault. Fortunately, now I am proud to return Mr. Fang's innocence, and I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

At the end of the talk, Han Si'en bowed his head respectfully towards the eldest princess, as if I had made a mistake and I admitted it.

The eldest princess looked at Han Si'en, his words were like a bolt from the blue that hit her head, and now she wished she could go forward and bite him to death.But when she thought of her confession to the assassination in front of the emperor just now, she felt cold, and her whole body went limp on the ground. She was so frightened that she kowtowed to the emperor, and then cried: "Your Majesty, this is all Han Sien. It's a trick, this minister fell into his trick, he did it on purpose."

Han Sien was taken aback by the eldest princess' embarrassment, he looked at the emperor with a questioning look in his eyes unconsciously.

The emperor looked at the eldest princess who kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said coldly: "What trick did you fall into by Han Sien, tell me?"

The eldest princess raised her head, instinctively wanting to open her mouth to tell what Han Sien sent someone to report to the emperor, but seeing the coldness and anger in the emperor's eyes, her heart froze, but she didn't dare to say a word.

Sending someone to secretly watch Han Sien and sending someone to secretly hijack Han Sien to report to the emperor are two different things.One can't be said to have made a mistake to some extent, but in the eyes of the emperor, the other has other intentions.

At this moment, the eldest princess only hated herself for being too flustered and didn't have time to think about Han Sien's intentions carefully, and she also hated the empress dowager for being so calm from the beginning to the end, and now she still doesn't say anything.

The emperor watched the eldest princess's expression change back and forth, very rich, he snorted coldly, any behavior of spying on the emperor, he would take it seriously and keep it in his heart.

The eldest princess, the eldest princess is no exception.

The emperor didn't want to watch the performance of the eldest princess, and he didn't want to listen to her false words anymore.He put his eyes on Han Si'en, and unconsciously said softly, "Then you asked someone to tell me that Fang Zuo made a confession. What did you confess?"

If Han Sien really took advantage of this to deceive the eldest princess, the emperor's mood would be very complicated. He always felt that Han Sien was lucky in some aspects, even better than him.

Han Si'en was naturally impeccable, and his complexion was a little complicated. After a long time, he sighed softly and said: "Mr. Fang's confession is all about his misdeeds at the border, and everything is in the confession. Affecting the reputation of the emperor, there is Mr. Fang's handwriting at the end of the testimony, and those imperial guards can testify that the minister did not torture Mr. Fang."

Only then did the emperor open the booklet Han Sien handed over, and after reading a few pages, he threw the testimony at the eldest princess's side.The eldest princess saw familiar and unfamiliar names and events in the confession at a glance, and her heart felt flustered and chilled.

There is only one sentence in her mind at the moment, Fang Zuo and her are finished this time.

The emperor has long been impatient because of the eldest princess' affair. He has also found out about these things, but there is no conclusive evidence, so he has never found an excuse to treat the illegitimate son Fang Zuo. Now the evidence is conclusive, and the eldest princess said assassination incident.

The emperor said coldly: "Come here, abolish the title of eldest princess and demote him to a commoner. Fang Zuo is stubborn by nature, bullying others, and committing serious crimes. Now that he is in prison, he should stay inside and not come out. Press down."

When the maid came into the room and grabbed the eldest princess's arm, the eldest princess cried sincerely this time. She smashed her head and the ground was stained red with blood. Dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness. I just beg the emperor to read the love when I was young. Please forgive Zuo Er this time. Your Majesty, I also tried poison for you and died for you. Zuoer's fault is all my fault. I have not disciplined him well, please forgive him."

The emperor has been soft-hearted since he was a child, and the eldest princess knows it.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the emperor looked at her with heartache. Finally, the emperor took a deep breath and said in a sad voice, "You innocently asked someone to assassinate the current son and prince. I just think of you and my young love. It's just abolishing your title and not imposing any other punishments, it's already a favor. As for Fang Zuo, his words and deeds are inappropriate, and the things he did are not like Fang Tian back then."

At the end of the talk, the emperor thought of how the eldest princess protected him, and said more and more sadly: "If you have anything else to say to me, now is the time."

When the emperor finally mentioned that Fang Zuo was not like Fang Tian, ​​the eldest princess suddenly understood that the emperor knew everything.She stared blankly at the emperor, unable to say a word.

If there was no matter about Fang Tian, ​​the emperor might forgive Fang Zuo for a while, but now, the emperor just waved his hand in disappointment and let the servants drag her out.

After a long time, the eldest princess howled loudly from outside the door.But even though the voice was extremely desperate, the eldest princess did not turn around and say anything else to the emperor.

She still acquiesced that the assassination was her own idea.

When the eldest princess' voice disappeared, the emperor sat on the throne slumped. He gave the eldest princess the will, but she didn't want it.

After a long time, he looked at Han Si'en and said: "You have made merit this time, and I am ashamed of you as the eldest princess, and I will definitely reward you."

Han Sien said solemnly: "Thank you, the emperor. I originally wanted to investigate the matter of the assassin, but I didn't expect that the assassin failed to find out, but instead investigated such a terrible thing... Fang Zuo admitted that he committed the old things because of the emperor. Shocked by your dragon prestige, those who have been harmed by Fang Zuo must be grateful to the emperor if they know about it. I don't have any credit, so naturally I dare not accept the reward."

It was rare for the emperor to hear Han Si'en flattering himself so openly, and it happened to be photographed, so the sadness in his heart completely disappeared.

The emperor was silent for a while, stroked his mustache, and said pointedly: "You follow the clues of the eldest princess and continue to investigate. The eldest princess is not capable of finding so many assassins in the capital, or the same sentence So, no matter who is found, I will take it down."

Han Si'en took the order and said, "This humble minister leads the order."

When Han Sien left the palace, he walked slowly along the way. He looked at the lush scenery in the palace, and there seemed to be the princess's pleading voice in his ears.

Some people have a terrible habit of earning their sympathy when they finally die, no matter what evil they have done.

The eldest princess was hard-won, so that Fang Zuo could close his eyes and let him do so many outrageous things.

But what about the eldest princess herself?There may be a relationship between Fang Tian and her.

The two once sincerely wanted to live a good life, but because of some people and some things, the newly reconciled heart was shattered. Everyone has their own secrets and masks.

Fang Tian seems to be rude, but he may not know everything, and he may not be able to play tricks on Fang Zuo's affairs.

But the eldest princess, with a high heart and arrogance, thought she had power, so she doted on her child endlessly, never thinking that one day she would kick the iron plate.

But these are all speculations, Fang Tian is dead, Han Sien can hear the thoughts of the living, but not the dead.

The matter of Fang Zuo and the eldest princess ends here with him, and he should not intervene in other matters.
