Chapter 410 The Dragon Robe Has Legs
Everything the eunuch who came sneakily to deliver the message thought was secret was seen by the two guards guarding the gate of the East Palace.
However, the two of them said nothing. They secretly touched the purses in their sleeve pockets, thought of the wealth of Concubine Qian's family, and looked at each other.
Besides, the woman didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so he pretended he saw nothing and turned his head away.
Because of the prince's accident, the masters and servants in the Eastern Palace all started to have their own ideas.
*
The prince has been detained in the clan house for three days, and the investigation is still ongoing.
imperial study room,
Eunuch De knocked on the door and reported back.
"Your Majesty, Guard Captain Li requests to see you."
Emperor Kun raised his head and glanced at Prince Rui, who was sitting at the desk by the window, reviewing memorials with his head down.
At this time, Prince Rui also felt the gaze of his father, and saw that his father did not speak.
So King Rui pretended to rub his sore wrist, stood up with a tired look and replied,
"Father, I am a little tired. Can I go out for a walk?"
Emperor Kun was very satisfied with Prince Rui's insight. He nodded and said,
"Well, Prince Rui has worked hard these past two days. Father will allow you to take half a day off to go back and have a good rest!"
"Thank you, Father, for your consideration."
Liang Hengrui didn't act pretentiously and didn't say anything falsely polite like "I'll be back soon."
Since that day when the two brats stabbed his waist with small wooden swords, although the skin was not broken, there were large areas of black, red and purple, which was terrifying to look at!
Then the most terrible and incredible thing is that all the internal organs in the body were severely damaged to varying degrees.
After two days of taking bitter medicine, the treatment was finally effective. However, after sitting for a long time, my waist still hurts from time to time.
But he didn't dare tell anyone.
Facing his majestic father, Prince Rui did not dare to show the slightest discomfort.
All one can do about this loss is grit their teeth and accept their bad luck.
*
After Prince Rui left the house, Emperor Kun raised his head and said to Eunuch De,
"pass."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Captain Guard Li was brought in.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
"Lord Li, stand up! Have you made any progress?"
Emperor Kun came straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence. Due to Li Liangdi's sudden death, all clues have been cut off.
I have investigated everything related to it, including all personnel, and found nothing unusual.
Nor was any information found about the relationship between the dragon robe and the crown prince and Concubine Fang.
Your Majesty, the strange thing is that this dragon robe seems to have appeared out of thin air. There is no trace of it.
It seems that only the dead party can solve this mystery!"
Captain Li knelt on one knee and confessed his crime.
Emperor Kun did not say anything, but tapped the table with his fingers. The crisp sound seemed to be knocking on the heart of Captain Li, causing a layer of cold sweat to instantly appear on his forehead.
*
a long time,
Emperor Kun said,
"Li Aiqing, please stand up. What do you think about this matter?"
Guard Captain Li stood up and gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Crown Prince would not commit such a heinous crime of treason."
"Oh, tell me about it."
"Well, Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rude behavior.
I have three analyses. First, the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, so there is no need for him to ruin his future by doing something unnecessary.
Secondly, the prince already had a pair of children, so he would not be criticized by the world for not having an heir.
Thirdly, it was said that Concubine Fang seldom left the courtyard, had no contact with the women in the inner courtyard, and did not seem to be an ambitious person.
Therefore, I believe that this matter was framed by Li Liangdi.
When she pointed out the location where the dragon robe was hidden, she said it without hesitation and pointed it out accurately. And the hiding place of the dragon robe was in Concubine Fang's yard.
This itself doesn't make sense.
It can be seen that her little thoughts are obvious. This matter involves not only the prince but also Concubine Fang. It can be said that this move kills two birds with one stone.
Based on the above analysis, there is no doubt that the prince was framed.
Because the Crown Prince favored Concubine Fang alone, Li Liangdi watched as the Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace was deposed and Concubine Zhang died.
Fear and jealousy and dissatisfaction built up in her heart, I guess she is thinking of dying together!"
The eyes of the eunuch beside him brightened up. Finally, someone who understood spoke out his thoughts.
When Captain Guard Li said this, he felt a little uneasy about his own analysis.
She knelt on one knee again and waited for the emperor's decision.
*
Emperor Kun said nothing, but made a gesture to Captain Guard Li to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The captain of the guards relaxed a little and stood up.
Seeing Emperor Kun was silent, Eunuch De couldn't help but interrupt.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I heard. Now everyone in the palace is complaining for the prince, saying that bad people will be punished by God.
Li Liang Di was struck to death by lightning because she framed the prince, and even God couldn't stand it and took her away immediately! Otherwise, why would a bolt of lightning suddenly fall from the sky? "
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kun chuckled a few times.
"Dezi, when did you become such a chatterbox?"
Eunuch De hurriedly bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, how can this old servant have it?!"
"Hahaha…"
Emperor Kun seemed to agree with this statement, and this was the first time he laughed out loud in several days.
*
After a moment, Emperor Kun calmed down and said,
"Lord Li, continue the investigation and don't miss any clues. Since the dragon robe has appeared, there must be traces of the handover. I don't believe that Li Liangdi has any magical spells.
I don’t believe that this dragon robe would grow legs and run into the tree hole.”
"Yes, I obey your command. Your Majesty, should the prince be acquitted?"
"Him? Don't make it public yet. Let him reflect on his mistakes in there! He hasn't woken up yet after being tricked by others time and time again.
What about this person? Being too kind is not a virtue but stupidity!
Look at how many times Donggong has been taken advantage of because of his eccentricity. How many things have happened?!"
Emperor Kun finished speaking and waved his hand to the chief guard.
"Well, I will take my leave."
After Emperor Kun's words came out, the time the prince was confined in the clan house was extended again.
Eunuch De could only sigh secretly.
*
It is said that Prince Rui, who went out for a walk from the imperial study, walked out of the imperial study with his personal eunuch, Eunuch Dong.
Eunuch Dong saw Prince Rui was about to walk towards the East Palace again, and hurriedly reminded him,
"Your Highness, where are you going? Your waist injury has not yet fully healed."
When Liang Hengrui heard this, he seemed to be touched. He turned around and glared at Eunuch Dong fiercely, saying unhappily,
"You are the only one who talks too much. Don't mention this matter again."
"Well, Your Majesty, why don't you go to the Imperial Garden for a walk? This is a good time when the grass is growing and the birds are singing, and everything is reviving."
Xiao Dongzi looked at Prince Rui's flattering proposal and he didn't want the prince to have any contact with the mother and her two children again!
That day, the prince hit him with two palms, and two of his ribs on the front of his chest are still broken!
