Crossing the East Palace

"Do you really think that since you are my sons, I really won't kill you? Huh?"

Emperor Tianyuan had ascended the throne for several years, and his dragon prestige was growing day by day. When he got angry like this, he frightened many princes so that none of them dared to show their anger.The second prince, who loves to play and watch, comes here as soon as he kneels in front of Emperor Tianyuan. The cold sweat on his head hit the ground drop by drop, without even a break in between.

He is afraid.

He obviously shouldn't be afraid, he had already thought about the wrath of Emperor Tianyuan that he would face, but when he saw it, he would still be afraid.

He was extremely eager that Emperor Tianyuan would walk in front of him, walk in front of other princes, and say these words to other princes.However, Emperor Tianyuan never moved even half a step, just stood in front of him, motionless.

The Second Prince could even feel how gloomy and terrifying the Emperor Tianyuan's eyes were on him.

"Who is involved in the matter of Baifo Temple, and who is responsible for those dead men? Now the crown prince and Zhen have already interrogated those dead men."

Emperor Tianyuan's eyes sank slightly, looking at the many princes who were trembling slightly, he felt the anger in his heart "crawling" up, he tried his best to suppress the anger, and then continued, "This matter, my brother That is to say, if anyone is involved in this matter, tell me right away, and I may spare his life. If you insist on refusing to tell...then, when I bring out the testimonies of those dead men, it's up to you Say yes or no, your life will be saved or not!"

Tang Luojin and the other princes knelt side by side, without turning their eyes to anyone.

But he could fully feel the fear and terror of the princes.

But what about fear?

As early as when he shot him, the person who shot him should have thought of what happened today.

"Who is it?" Emperor Tianyuan asked again, "I'll give him another chance, after all, will he stand up?"

The princes were even more frightened.

The second prince thought that he had been kneeling steadily, but he didn't know that the cold sweat on his forehead and the small puddle of sweat on the ground had betrayed him early on.

The third prince was timid.Even if he didn't make a move on this matter, and he didn't expect extravagant reserve position, he was trembling with fear at this moment, as if this matter really had something to do with him.

The Fourth Prince stared firmly at the ground, motionless.Although there was cold sweat on his forehead, relatively speaking, he was much calmer and more confident.

Emperor Tianyuan looked down, his fifth prince died early, the sixth prince had always been close to the prince, his body was shaking slightly at this moment, presumably because he was afraid of his anger; the cold sweat on the eighth prince's forehead was comparable to that of the second prince The Ninth Prince is obviously not very old, but he kneels firmly, with only a pair of hands resting on the ground, trembling all the time; the Tenth Prince is smaller than the Ninth Prince, and at this moment, his small body seems to be blown by a strong wind , Xianxian was about to fall to the ground; the eleventh prince died early, and the next thing Emperor Tianyuan saw was the twelve prince.

The twelve princes who are only five years old.

Emperor Tianyuan looked slightly surprised.

He has never liked the Twelfth Prince very much.For Emperor Tianyuan, his former feelings for the empress had slowly faded away when the empress attacked the prince again and again.

From the very beginning, he didn't trust him, so he changed sons on his own, and wanted to kill Concubine Xin; Started, and successfully killed the crown princess, and made the crown prince feel extremely sorry for the death of the crown princess...

Under such circumstances, how could Emperor Tianyuan still like the queen?If Master Zhishan hadn't said that the prince had three younger sisters and one younger brother who were born by the empress, he would never have stepped into Qingning Palace at that time.

Emperor Tianyuan had long been disgusted with the empress, and towards the empress's children...the empress's children, who are now dead, did not dislike the dead daughters; but towards the twelve living princes, he I really don't like it.

Of course, even if he didn't like this son because of the queen, he never treated him badly.If it weren't for this, Emperor Tianyuan would not have tried every means to give the twelve princes the title "Shun" and "Min" in front of Tang Luojin.These two words were taken by Emperor Tianyuan in order to appease Tang Luojin, so why didn't they be taken by Emperor Tianyuan in order to protect the twelve princes?

What's more, after the birth of the Twelfth Prince, Emperor Tianyuan handed him over to Concubine Rong who had raised the Fourth Prince and the Third Princess safely, and Yue Chongrong, who was related to the Twelfth Prince by blood.

It's a pity that the Twelve Princes probably didn't understand all kinds of thoughts of Emperor Tianyuan.

But even so, Emperor Tianyuan still raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the Twelve Princes knelt there firmly and motionless at such a young age.

but--

"It seems that you really won't cry when you see the coffin!" Emperor Tianyuan said, "Xu Youwei, read your confession!"

Xu Youwei stood up immediately, carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, then opened his sleeves, took out the confessions of those "dead men", and began to read aloud.

"Caomin and the prince have never had any grievances. This time, the gathering of the people, the first to kidnap the pilgrims, and the second to kill the prince, are actually ordered by the master. ... Caomin and dozens of brothers are the nephews and grand-nephews of Jiang Shanzhang of Jiangnan Academy. Caomin and others were bought into the mountains by him ten years ago. Since then, they don’t need to farm or work for food every day. They only need to practice martial arts, kill people, etc. This time, when they wanted to kill the prince, Caomin once said, It was the second prince's order, and he also said that if this kill is successful, he will let me be free..."

"Caomin is the Jiang family of Jiangnan Academy's domestic slaves..."

"The grass people heard from the master that it was the order of the second prince..."

"It's the second prince..."

……

Every time Xu Youwei read a confession, the cold sweat on the second prince's forehead became more intense.

When Xu Youwei had finished reading ten confessions and was about to read again, the second prince finally couldn't bear the suffering, and immediately threw himself on the ground and bowed to the ground.

"Father, my son has been wronged!" The second prince knelt down and said, "Although the son and the seventh brother have never been close, siblings are brothers after all. The son has no siblings, only half-brothers. In this way, how can it be different? Do you regard the Seventh Brother as your most important brother? How can you do anything to the Seventh Brother? Father, my son is wronged, wronged!"

Emperor Tianyuan had already sat on the main seat, sneered, and looked at Tang Luojin.

Tang Luojin stood up and walked slowly towards the second prince.

The second prince saw the bright yellow fabric and thought it was Emperor Tianyuan, and was about to complain about being wronged again when he realized that the yellow color was not exactly the same as the yellow used by Emperor Tianyuan.

When she looked up, she suddenly realized that she was crouching at Tang Luojin's feet.

The second prince's complexion turned pale.

However, the matter has come to this point, and he still hasn't forgotten to beg for mercy for himself.

"Seven Emperor Brothers also understand that the so-called dead men are those who cannot complete the task and will commit suicide. But those dead men who wrote the confession just now... They are still alive now, even disregarding the kindness of their former masters, He dared to betray his master's family, so it can be seen that he did it on purpose, and deliberately wanted to frame the accident of the Seventh Brother on Jiang's family and his brother! Brother, you will not be fooled by these treacherous villains, and you will be innocent, right?"

All the princes sneered in their hearts, second brother, second brother, are you confused or stupid?Obviously there is no future, but now if he honestly seeks the crown prince, there may be a way out.However, the second emperor's brother was too proud to threaten him with words. Under such circumstances, how could the crown prince really save him?

Tang Luojin stood in front of the second prince, stood there for a while, and then slowly opened her mouth.

"Brother Erhuang thinks that since Gu sent these testimonies, would he leave behind all the evidence and witnesses?" Tang Luojin said, "The rest of the dead men trained by the Jiang family have all been arrested by the court. And the branch of the Jiang family who cultivated these dead men is now in the prison, explaining the whole story, saying that he is not training dead men for himself, but for the Jiang family in the south of the Yangtze River, for the second emperor brother you , to train dead men! And at this moment, if I want to come to Jiangnan Academy, my surname is no longer Jiang!"

The second prince's complexion changed drastically.

Privately cultivating dead soldiers was completely forbidden in the Datang Dynasty.Even private soldiers were only allowed to be owned by the emperor, the prince and some princes who had made great achievements and were fully trusted by the emperor in the Datang Dynasty.And the second prince, what achievements does he have now?When did Emperor Tianyuan allow him to form "private soldiers"?

The second prince wanted to explain again, but Tang Luojin looked at the eighth prince who was beside him.

The Eighth Prince noticed Tang Luojin's gaze, and then fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

"Second brother, don't shirk anymore. I have already told the prince and father about the things you asked me to do, as well as the hatred for the prince!"

The second prince only felt "buzzing" in his head.

The eighth prince was still crying and said: "Those things that framed the prince, my brother originally cared about Concubine Demu and our brotherhood between you and me, so I didn't want to talk about it. My brother always thought in his heart, even if the second emperor brother you have a thousand However, the crown prince has always been strategizing, and he will definitely not pay attention to your calculations, second emperor brother. My brother just doesn't tell the crown prince. For the crown prince, these things are trivial matters. But, but, " The Eighth Prince cried bitterly, "But Second Emperor Brother, you should never have done anything wrong. After doing all kinds of things to obstruct the Prince, you still tried to kill the Prince! Although my brother is grateful to Concubine Demu and Brother Second Emperor, but , the younger brother is also the son of the queen mother, and also the younger brother of the prince's brother. How can you watch the prince's brother have an accident, but you don't reveal it at all? How can you watch the second emperor brother make mistakes again and again, making the big mistake of murdering the prince ? So, brother..."

The second prince couldn't say a word immediately.

What else can he say?

With the confessions of those "dead men", the confession of that branch of the Jiang family, and the betrayal of the eighth prince who has always been close to him, what else can he say?

What reason does he have to save himself?

The second prince pinched his palm with all his strength, and the blood dripped down, but he didn't seem to notice anything.

Tang Luojin's eyes then fell on the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Tang Luojin spoke slowly: "Brother Jiuhuang, do you have something to say?"

The Ninth Prince thought of what his mother and concubine said, and when he knew that he should give up, he had to give up decisively. However, thinking of the generations of in-laws of the Murong family and the Xia family, and the fact that the Murong family had always supported him in the matter of seizing the heir, suddenly, he couldn't make up his mind. Open your mouth.

Tang Luojin continued to look at him and said, "Brother Nine Emperors, I will give you one last chance as a brother. Besides Brother Two Emperors, did you participate in this matter?"

The Ninth Prince raised his head suddenly and looked at Tang Luojin who was standing in front of him.He had never been so clear for a moment - Tang Luojin was standing, he was kneeling, kneeling at Tang Luojin's feet so humblely.He is a minister, and Tang Luojin is a monarch.They have always been monarchs and ministers first, and brothers later.

The Ninth Prince's heart was astringent, and he was about to abandon the Murong family when he realized that Tang Luojin's gaze fell on the little Twelfth Prince.

"Brother Nine Emperors, if this matter really has nothing to do with you, you can, like Brother Eighth Emperor, tell the truth to the person who induced you to make a move..." Tang Luojin touched the wrench on her hand, and said word by word, " Gu, make you a promise."

The Ninth Prince followed Tang Luojin's gaze in a daze, and looked at the Twelfth Prince.

Suddenly, he thought of the news that he and his concubine had received that "the crown prince is not the son of a legitimate son, but Concubine Xin deliberately planned to replace the son of a concubine with the queen to be raised as a son of a legitimate son". The second prince, Mao Sai suddenly understood, and immediately understood what the prince wanted him to say - the prince wanted him to identify the twelve princes.

Even if he has no evidence, but as long as he opens his mouth, the prince will be able to guard against the twelve princes in a fair and honest manner in the future.

As for the Ninth Prince, once he opens his mouth to identify the Twelfth Prince, will the Twelfth Prince bite out that the Prince is not his son in order to protect himself?Even if the appearance of the crown prince is really similar to that of the queen, what about the birthmark?Once the birthmark is involved, then...

The Ninth Prince endured the violent beating of his heart, and was about to speak when he saw the Second Prince take a step ahead of him and said, "My son has something to report! It's related, the Prince's background!"
