Jade of Rebirth

When the people from the front office of the palace came to Zhao Wang's mansion, Yuan Heng and Yu Li were having dinner, only to hear the butler rush over in panic, and said to the two:

"My lord, my concubine, there are people coming from the palace. The palace sent a team of guards from the front office to surround the palace, saying that the lord is plotting something wrong, and he needs to be arrested and sent to the palace immediately!"

Yu Li was taken aback, he knew that the other party was going to make trouble, but he didn't know that the other party moved so fast, and he didn't expect the other party to be so unstoppable, he looked at Yuan Heng, and saw Yuan Heng obeying the maidservant slowly and methodically. Taking a cloth towel to wipe his hands, he said to Yuli:

"Li'er, stay at home with peace of mind, don't believe anyone's words, don't believe any bad news, just stay here, don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back, understand?"

Yu Li stood up subconsciously, looking at Yuan Heng with excited eyes... Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he was still very reluctant and worried when he heard Yuan Heng's explanation.

"Don't be afraid, I've already arranged everything." Yuan Heng stretched out his hand to grab his hand in a rare serious and gentle way, looking straight at him with his dark red phoenix eyes, "Good boy."

Yuli knew that his going would be very dangerous, even good or bad... But he couldn't say anything to keep him, and after a long time, he said: "I understand, don't worry. "

As soon as the words fell, they heard the neat footsteps of a group of people and the sound of armor rubbing. The two of them looked around and saw a neat group of imperial guards, with serious military appearance and menacing aura, and the person leading the group was the nearest Yuqing, the deputy commander of the Dianqian Division who just took office!

I saw Yuqing wearing the unique armor of the front office of the palace, with a black cloak on his shoulders, his originally handsome face was full of ruthlessness and solemnity, he walked forward, looked at Yuan Heng and Yu Li, saw Yu Li Wearing a light blue loose summer shirt, her face is much rounder, and her originally thin and feminine face looks even more handsome and beautiful.

Yuan Heng also noticed his fiery gaze, and immediately hid Yu Li behind him, and then said to Yu Qing: "Yu Qing, you broke into my house suddenly, is there an imperial edict from my father? If not, you It is a great crime of treason!"

Yuqing sneered disdainfully, and said: "Of course I have, otherwise how dare you come to the door?" As she said, she waved her hand behind her, and a subordinate stepped forward, and the thing that appeared in the subordinate's hand was the one bestowed by the emperor. token.

Seeing this, Yu Li hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what happened in the palace? Why do you want to arrest the prince and bring him back to the palace?"

"The last general will act according to the order. As for the reason, the prince will know when he goes." Yuqing said with a cold face, and then raised his face behind him, and said, "Your Majesty has an order to arrest King Zhao immediately and return to the palace. There must be no mistakes , my lord, I'm sorry, come..."

"You don't need to ask, I will go by myself." Yuan Heng said, then nodded to Yu Li beside him, and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Yu Li looked at him with complicated eyes, hesitated to speak, and finally just nodded.

After Yuqing left with Yuan Heng, the steward came to report that the imperial guards surrounding the palace did not leave, saying that no one was allowed to enter or leave, and anyone who violated it would be killed on the spot.

Yu Li sneered when he heard this, and said, "They want to put me under house arrest to prevent me from communicating with the outside world, so as not to send rescuers..."

However, the hidden guards in King Zhao's Mansion are not vegetarians. A mere team of Imperial Guards wants to trap them?dream!

"Princess, what should we do next?" Bi Sheng asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Yuan Heng is only arrested now, he has not been convicted yet, so he will be fine." Yu Li turned to look at Wu Yeti who was standing by the side, and said, "Wu Yeti, send a few people there now Inquire about the news, first find out the situation, what crime they have convicted Yuan Heng, and then we will make arrangements, and also, send someone to Xianfei Palace to see what the meaning is there."

"Yes." Wu Yeti nodded slightly, turned around and left.

Yuli looked outside and had half eaten dinner, and couldn't help worrying about Yuan Heng again... He would naturally be worried, but he was just trying to calm down, Yuan Heng didn't even finish his dinner, and when he arrived in the palace , he must be interrogated overnight, will he be cold and hungry by then?I don't know if he will be tortured. By the way, it depends on who interrogates him, and I don't know who the emperor will hand over the power of interrogation...

……

There is a large hall in the palace, which is specially used to interrogate concubines and members of the royal family, and these people often commit serious crimes. Among the holy beasts in the four directions, the White Tiger Lord kills them, so it is named "White Tiger Hall".

In the White Tiger Palace, the empty hall was unusually quiet. Although the hall was bright, the light was cold and dim, and reflected on the marble floor, it gave off a more serene and desolate light.The whole hall was very cold and silent.

After a while, the "jingling" sound of iron chains colliding came one after another, and I saw two imperial guards escorting King Zhao Yuanheng from the side hall. The colored prince's python suit was stained all over.

The two imperial guards who escorted him escorted him there, turned around and left, and closed the gate by the way. The two gates made a long "squeak" when they closed, making the whole hall seem more empty and terrifying.

It's just that Yuan Heng Dan's phoenix eyes were slightly closed, his expression was calm, his slender body stood upright, his awe-inspiring nobility remained undiminished, and he didn't look like a prisoner at all.

After a while, only the sound of footsteps came from far away, Yuan Heng raised his eyes, and saw the Queen Mother and King Ding slowly walking into the hall from the northwest corner with their attendants. He was also wearing court clothes, very cautious.

After the two arrived in the hall, they took their seats at the upper head and the lower head respectively.

"Grandmother, uncle..." Yuan Heng took a step forward, looking at the two with aggrieved faces.

The Empress Dowager's expression was not the slightest bit moved, she only said to the attendant at the side: "Go, untie the chain of His Royal Highness King Zhao."

"Yes."

"Thank you, Grandmother!" Yuan Heng laughed happily, and when he untied the iron chains that bound him, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Grandmother, Uncle, Heng'er doesn't know what crime I have committed, please ask Grandmother Say it!"

The queen mother still looked at him solemnly, and said slowly: "Today the sixth son caught Zhao Yuan poisoning the emperor's medicine in the palace, causing the emperor's condition to worsen for a while, and Zhao Yuan pointed out that you ordered him to poison Yes, but so?"

"I never..." Yuan Heng frowned and retorted, "Why did I murder my father? Then Zhao Yuan must have been bribed to frame me! He said that I ordered him, so what is the evidence? Where is the evidence? Only one It is too hasty to judge me as a treasonous crime if the words of the servants are too reckless!"

King Ding on the side listened, shook his head slowly, and said: "Heng'er, this matter is just one of them. A servant ran to Yuan Qi and said that there was something strange about the death of the former empress. The former empress did not hang herself, but Someone hugged her and hung her on the beam. After interrogation, it turned out that the servant was a young servant who served the former queen in the middle palace, and the servant has already identified it, saying that you ordered him to lay hands on the queen... ..." He paused, seeing Yuan Heng frowned in surprise, and said again, "Later, Chen'er said that it was true that he liked men, but he was wronged for cursing His Majesty. It was Pei Junqi of the Imperial Academy who designed the little wooden man Put it in his mansion, now that Pei Hanlin has confessed that it was your concubine Yuli who ordered him to do this, what else can you say?"

Yuan Heng listened, and gradually understood, but there was no panic on his face, he only asked: "They are all witnesses, but money can turn ghosts, none of these witnesses can be trusted, what about physical evidence? They have What evidence proves that my concubine and I instigated them? If you only look at the testimonials, tell me earlier, I can produce ten or eight testimonials, proving that someone ordered them to frame me!"

"What's more, those internal servants Pei Hanlin, if I ordered them, I would have silenced them long ago, and I will wait until now for them to report on me?"

The empress dowager and king Ding were speechless after some powerful words.
