Chapter 416 Confession

When King Nanhuai came back from the palace, the imperial concubine lost her temper. King Nanhuai immediately ordered the connectors to find Liang Houye. of.

King Nanhuai couldn't track down Master Liang Hou, and finally deduced that Hu Huanxi was the troublemaker.

However, it is impossible to investigate Hu Huanxi, the evidence must have been annihilated there, so how can there be any evidence left?

In the end, this dumb loss can only be eaten.

But, you have to lose money, more than 20,000 taels of silver, and the noble concubine has to take it out again.

The imperial concubine has been enticing courtiers over the years and buying martial arts people to work for her, so there is not much money left.

King Nanhuai spent a lot of money in the Southern Kingdom these years, but the conscription, the purchase of food, grass, cotton clothes, weapons, etc., cost a lot, and they have been emptied long ago. Where is there any money left?

The imperial concubine had no choice but to sell jewelry and antiques to make enough money for the weapon dealers.

She paid the weapon dealer here, and Liu Liu woke up there.

She recalled what happened that day, saying that she got into the prince's carriage, and then fainted after getting out of the carriage.

In this matter, Murong Jie did not come forward, but Chen Taijun did.

She ran straight into the palace and looked for the empress dowager.

After entering the palace, without saying anything, he took out a pack of arsenic and put it on the table, "Queen Mother, you can give me death penalty, I can't live anymore."

The empress dowager was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Oh, my old matriarch, what are you doing? Don't scare the Ai family, what happened?"

Chen Taijun said in grief and indignation: "His Royal Highness kidnapped my granddaughter, causing her to come back with half her life. If the court does not give me an explanation for this matter, I will die in this palace today."

The Empress Dowager didn't know about it yet, but after hearing what the old Madam said, she was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood, "Don't worry, really don't worry."

In her rage, she immediately sent the prince over.

Hearing that Chen Liuliu woke up, the crown prince was not afraid, and said: "Grandmother, the grandson met Miss Chen's family that day, but he didn't do anything to her. She went to find Xiao Tuo, and the grandson just took her for a ride. When we arrived at the streets of Dongshi, my grandson let her get out of the carriage, and then left, why? Then Chen Liuliu said that it was her grandson who harmed her?"

"Did you do it? If you admit it, the Ai family guarantees that this matter will not be publicized, but if you don't admit it, once the Ai family finds out, your position as prince will come to an end." How could the empress dowager believe it? he? The old matriarch is an important minister in the court and has made contributions to the court. She can't hurt the hearts of these old courtiers.

The prince knelt heavily on the ground, and swore to the sky, "Grandson swears, if grandson cuts Chen Liuliu, grandson is willing to bear the lightning strike."

Chen Taijun said coldly: "Since the crown prince said he put down Liuliu on the streets of Dongshi, how do you know that she was chopped instead of wounded or something else?"

The prince was startled, and then said: "I have also heard about Chen Liuliu being chopped up."

He sneered, "Bengong knows, because I have a bad temper, so you all blame all the crimes of the headless case on Bengong, Chen Taijun, I dare to ask you, you accused Bengong of hurting Chen Liuliu , is there anyone to prove it? If there is no evidence, it is accusing the prince of the dynasty, what should you do!"

If someone else is around, they will be frightened by his sudden vigor, but Chen Taijun will not. Although Chen Taijun is in a rage, he still maintains keen observation skills. The carriage fainted after less than three steps away. Even if the crown prince could not be seen in the carriage, the coachman should have seen it, but the crown prince just left like this? Your Highness, do you really know that no one saw it at that time? After Liu Liu fainted , the prince's people immediately dragged her to the carriage."

A look of panic suddenly appeared on the prince's face. How could he know that no one saw it at the time, but Chen Taijun made a guess based on his reaction. Obviously, this guess was correct.

"It's nothing, nonsense!" The prince tried his best to deny it, but his eyes began to dodge, he felt guilty, and the empress dowager could see it.

The empress dowager saw him getting angry just now, and she really believed him a little bit. Now seeing that he was still calm while showing panic, she knew that what Chen Taijun said was probably true.

However, she remained calm, "You go back first, the Ai family will order people to investigate this matter."

"Grandmother, you have to trust your grandson. Your grandson has never done anything. You can swear by your grandson." The prince became more and more panicked.

"Go, if you are innocent, the Ai family will return your innocence, but if you are not innocent, remember what the Ai family said, your position as the crown prince has come to an end." The empress dowager said indifferently.

Many crimes that can abolish the crown prince could not be established in the past, but now he offends the Chen family. Chen Liuliu is the lifeblood of Chen Taijun. If there is resentment, there will be resentment in the army, which is a fatal injury to Da Zhou.

Even though the empress dowager lives in the harem, she also knows that the Chen family is the last one to offend.

The prince stood up apprehensively, wondering whether the empress dowager would be able to verify this matter. If someone really saw it at that time, he would not be able to get away with it.

Moreover, if the Taifu knew about this matter, the Taifu must be even more disappointed with him. Thinking of this, he cried and knelt down, "Grandmother, this matter has nothing to do with the grandson. Hand over Chen Liuliu to Xia Wan'er!"

The empress dowager's heart ached like a knife, and she was furious. She picked up the cup on the coffee table and threw it at the prince, hitting the prince's head. She said sharply, "Confused, confused!"

The prince turned pale with fright, and kept begging for mercy, "Grandmother, please calm down, my grandson just wanted to play tricks on her, I didn't expect her to be hurt, it must be that Xia Wan'er."

Hearing this, Chen Taijun cupped his hands and said: "Empress Dowager, there is a grievance and a debtor. If Xia Wan'er hurt my family Liu Liu, I will go to Xia Wan'er. As for the crown prince, no matter how much nonsense there is, someone will always take care of it. I will leave first."

Chen Taijun does not interfere in the government affairs, and the crown prince will not step down because of her, the Chen family, otherwise, the Chen family will be the center of the vortex, and it will no longer be like before, just stand by and watch, if you like, you can intervene, if you don't like it, just ignore it.

But that sentence "someone will take care of all the nonsense" doomed the prince not to be easily spared this time. In fact, it was equivalent to telling the empress dowager that the prince was the one who started the crime. If you don't deal with it, the Chen family will be upset.

The Empress Dowager could naturally hear Taijun Chen's subtext. The Chen family, the imperial court and the royal family did not dare to offend easily. The Chen family has been very law-abiding these years. This is a sleeping lion voluntarily. It is best not to provoke her.

After Chen Taijun left, the Empress Dowager sat on a chair, leaned on her forehead, looked at the unworthy prince in front of her, and felt endless sadness in her heart. Why did she choose such a waste?

"Who is it wrong for you to provoke? Are you going to provoke the Chen family? Do you really think that you are omnipotent? You are so confused, do you know who is responsible for the stability of our Murong family for many years? Without these generals , the family has been ruined long ago.”
