The emperor's action was faster than Ji Ziyang expected, and only two days later, the news had already come from the imperial city.

Early in the morning, Ah Liu rushed to report: "The emperor has sent troops to surround the eldest prince's mansion."

"Okay," Ji Ziyang heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, his efforts were not in vain, and the eldest prince's good days should come to an end.

Not long after, news spread among the people in the imperial city that the eldest prince had been coveting the throne for a long time, and some time ago the emperor caught a cold and called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, so he couldn't wait to get someone to make a dragon robe privately.

I don't know who spread the news, and everyone in the imperial city knew about it within a day.

The emperor was furious, and ordered troops to surround the mansion of the eldest prince early in the morning, and asked people to search the mansion carefully.

Ran Yanjue stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, and the servants and maidservants of the mansion also knelt down in the hall tremblingly, and the guards of the prince's mansion were also guarded by the imperial guards.

"These things are completely non-existent! Absurd!" Ran Yanjue couldn't maintain her usual normality at the moment, and the hands on her back trembled slightly with anger.

Who is going to frame him!And it came so suddenly that people were completely unprepared.

"Prince, please be safe and don't be impatient. Whether it is nothing or not, we will find out after the search is over!" Zhang Liao, the commander of the imperial army, stood beside him, directing the guards to search in and out. face.

Whether it was the servant's room, or the big and small corners of the mansion, and even the eldest prince's bedroom, they searched them carefully, inside and out.

"Father is still very healthy now, how could I do such a rebellious thing, it was purely framed by someone!"

"It's hard to say whether it was framed or not," Zhang Liao cast a sidelong glance at the eldest prince, with a cold and arrogant attitude.

However, as a prince, especially the eldest son, Yan Jue has never been so slighted by others, and he was immediately annoyed: "Commander Zhang must pay attention to the facts! If there is no evidence of treason, I will report to you for what I just said. Father ask for an explanation."

Zhang Liao snorted coldly in his heart, he is the commander of the imperial army, directly under the emperor's command, he will do whatever the emperor tells him to do, this search is just a formality, the eldest prince is no longer afraid.

Not long after, a guard hurried over with a bundle, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands high, and said, "This was found from the First Prince's bedroom, please take a look at it, Commander."

Zhang Liao glanced at Ran Yan Jue with a sneer: "Prince, you should look carefully to see if it's a conspiracy."

However, Yan Jue suddenly had a bad premonition. When Zhang Liao opened it, there was a newly made dragon robe in the bag, and he suddenly felt dizzy, and he almost fell down: "This...this Not mine!"

"Yes or no, the First Prince should go and talk to the Ministry of Punishment." Zhang Liao waved his hand, and the two guards stepped forward and grabbed the First Prince, one left and one right.

"I want to meet Emperor Father. This is indeed not my property. I want to clarify it in person!" Although he had the intention of treason, he had never made any dragon robes in private, although he couldn't figure it out for a while. Who wants to frame him, but now he must grit his teeth and refuse to admit it.

After all, his status as the eldest prince is still there. After drinking it, the two guards let go and looked at Zhang Liao in embarrassment.

Zhang Liao picked up the dragon robe, shook it away and gestured in front of Ran Yanjue, with contempt in his eyes, he sneered and said, "Prince, the size of this dragon robe fits you very well, how dare you say it's not you?" If it’s not yours, whose is it? Take it away!”

"I'll see who dares to touch me!"

"Eldest Prince, I came here at the emperor's order. The emperor said that if you find anything that shouldn't be there, you will be taken directly to the prison and put under the supervision of the Ministry of Punishment." Zhang Liao made a gesture to the guards behind him. Immediately, more than a dozen people rushed into the hall and drew their swords at Ran Yanjue.

At this moment, he didn't want to go, so he had to go!

However, Yan Jue was imprisoned in front of him, and the news spread in the imperial city afterwards. Such a commotion confirmed his treasonous act.

When the queen heard about it, she fainted in her own palace, and when she woke up, she sent people to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but outside the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there were guards from the emperor's imperial guards, and no one could enter or leave.

In desperation, he could only ask to see the emperor, but the emperor directly refused to see him on the grounds that he was busy with government affairs.

When the emperor didn't see her, she knelt outside the emperor's hall and begged for mercy. No matter how well the empress took care of her, she was old after all.

This kneeling didn't help Shang Ran Yanjue, but it angered Ran Mo, and went out of the palace to reprimand the mother of the Ruitian Dynasty. The bright yellow dragon robe reflected the aura of the Tian family and the inviolable majesty of the emperor .

"They are all good sons you taught yourself! How dare you plead for mercy, do you know what crime he committed!" Ran Mo's eyebrows were dark, and there was no love between husband and wife in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, after all, he is the prince, your child and me! This matter must have been wronged, and the prince's rebellion is also a shame for the royal family. You must return my son's innocence and save the royal family's face!" The queen begged for mercy. , I think this matter will definitely turn around.

"Face?" Ran Mo negative's expression became colder and colder: "The queen talks about face with me, isn't my face lost by the queen long ago?"

The queen was taken aback, and her expression was a little miserable: "Your Majesty... what do you mean by this?"

"Hmph, I saved his life to this day just out of concern for face, and also preserved your empress' dignity. If you don't know what to do, I don't think you need to be a queen anymore."

However, the meaning of Mo negative's words is obvious, this son, he does not admit it in his heart, and the queen had an affair with others back then, and the relationship between husband and wife has been broken long ago.

The queen's complexion was pale, and she suddenly aged several years. The hand holding the emperor's upper and lower sides suddenly couldn't tighten her strength anymore, so she could only droop powerlessly. After all, she was well aware of those scandals.

"Come here, send the queen back to the palace, and reflect on yourself in your own palace. If you don't have my will, you don't have to come out. From now on, all matters in the harem will be taken care of by Concubine Ning." This is to put her under house arrest in disguise.

Instantaneous qi and blood stagnation, chest tightness and unbearable pain, taking away her rights, there is less hope of saving the eldest prince, and the road of intercession will not work.

As soon as she returned to the palace, the empress summoned her confidants over, and immediately arranged the matter while the emperor had just issued an order and before she had time to send someone to guard her.

"Secretly contact the officials who support the eldest prince, let them all think of ways for me, how to save my son from this grievance, and thoroughly investigate this matter, who dares to harm him like this, I will definitely call that Life is worse than death!" She has replaced the dignified and virtuous in the past, and now she is a mother who wants to help her son out of trouble.

"Yes!"

"Also, write a letter to my elder brother, asking him to advise the emperor that the emperor should take care of the Nangong clan and my elder brother's military power even if he doesn't care about me."

"The subordinates will do it immediately."

The other party was about to retreat when the queen called him back again: "Check again, whoever my son has met with in private recently, don't miss any of them, I want to see who is so bold and dares to plan to kill you!" Let him go." Even though the queen was heartbroken, the things she ordered were still exactly the same.

"Yes!" The man responded and left quickly.

No matter who wants to harm her son, she will not let it go!

In the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as soon as the eldest prince was escorted there, he was forced to put on a prison uniform in addition to the brocade clothes. In the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there were his eldest prince's secret henchmen.

But among the interrogators, none of those people were seen at all, and the person in charge of the interrogation used the instruments of torture without saying a word.

However, Yan Jue couldn't figure out why things happened so suddenly and the situation developed so fast, there was no room for him to relax and explain, as soon as he opened his mouth to complain, he was whipped, and he didn't even want to explain a few more words No chance.

The interrogating officials seemed to be in collusion!

He didn't stop torture until his whole body was dripping with blood and he lost all strength.

"Eldest Prince, do you admit to this crime or not?" Master Lin Tinglin of the Ministry of Punishment had already taken a confession that had been prepared a long time ago, which was full of several pages, and handed it to Ran Yanjue.

The confession clearly stated the official party members he had secretly befriended over the years and how he conspired to usurp the throne.

ridiculous!However, Yan Jue just thought it was very ridiculous, even if there was a conspiracy, he would not tell others about his plan, why would someone write it down so bluntly.

"Is the process of interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment all about torture?" He refused to accept it, and had a vague and frightening guess in his heart.

From the siege of the prince's mansion, to the successful search of the stolen goods and the immediate interrogation in jail, regardless of the process, it was just a matter of torture, but it took just over half a day.

Let me ask who can mobilize these officials and arrange them so quickly, who else can there be except the current emperor!

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. His father had indeed suspected him for a long time, but he hadn't done anything for so many years, why he suddenly got into trouble is really puzzling.

Lin Ting also didn't want to waste any more time with him, since he refused to admit it, he had no choice but to torture him again until the eldest prince confessed.

However, Yan Jue is the emperor of the prince. He has been pampered and treated well since he was a child. How could he stand such a punishment? Uncle of military power.

As long as he gritted his teeth and endured it, he believed that he would be able to get out of this prison.

"Master Lin, is this...is the punishment a little heavier?" The other interrogated two people.

"It doesn't matter how to confess!"

"I'm afraid that the eldest prince will die before he draws his bet. How can I explain this to the emperor?"

Lin Ting's sharp and thin face was not moved at all, and he said coldly: "If the eldest prince can't bear it to death, I will personally sue the emperor!" It's done, if he is really beaten to death, it will be in the emperor's mind, but he can't say these words in front of others.
