Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 230 Unruly

  “Li Yan…”

  The Emperor Chengde took a deep breath and said, "How did he find out about Li Yan's head?"

  The third prince investigated the case this time, and the Tianmu supervisor in the palace also participated. Chen Ju, the eunuch, naturally knew the details. He sat down beside the emperor of Chengde and explained Ji Zhong's investigation in detail.

   After hearing this, the emperor of Chengde frowned in displeasure.

   "Why is he so unruly?"

   Rules are the most powerful weapons for those with vested interests to restrain the bottom, because these rules themselves already stipulate the interests of those with vested interests. As long as the world can abide by the rules, then those with vested interests will always be those with vested interests.

  The royal family is the biggest vested interest.

   Therefore, even if the emperor does things, he must follow the rules. If there are no rules, the emperor will no longer be the emperor.

   Even the original Emperor Wu could not do whatever he wanted.

   The investigation of the case like the third prince Ji Zhong is fast, but there are no rules, which makes the emperor of Chengde a little unhappy.

   His Majesty the Emperor frowned and said, "How long has Li Yan been in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"

  Chen Ju glanced at the sky outside and said, "It should be half a day."

   Chengde Emperor closed his eyes with some difficulty.

   "At this moment, Li Yan has probably suffered a lot."

   "Go there yourself and let the third child let Li Yan go."

This time, although the emperor of Chengde did not die, he was indeed seriously injured. According to several imperial doctors, the knife stabbed into the emperor's body hurt the emperor's heart. This kind of injury will inevitably leave a dark wound, which is almost impossible. get well.

   You can only take care of it slowly.

   In addition, the emperor of Chengde is already forty-five years old, no longer in his prime, even those imperial physicians dare not say when they will be able to take care of them well or not.

  The imperial physicians could not even say how long the emperor of Chengde would live.

   In this case, it is obvious that there is no way to turn the peace of Nanhou Mansion.

  Because the Crown Prince has not yet been established, the emperor of Chengde needs to spend the remaining time to investigate the candidates for the new emperor, and he basically has no energy to go south to Shu County.

   That is to say, things in the southern border could not be resolved in the Chengde Dynasty.

   can only be handed over to the next emperor.

   This kind of situation is a situation that the former emperor of Chengde did not want to see anyway, but there is no way, this is already a reality that has to be faced.

Although Emperor Chengde is lying on the bed now, he is calm as never before. The capital is now in chaos. In his unknown life, he needs to take care of the country as clearly as possible, and then hand over the country to him. to a suitable emperor.

  Chen Ju nodded bitterly.

   "Old slave knows."

   He bowed his body and said abruptly, "Your Majesty, does this matter end with Li Yan?"

   Chengde Emperor opened his eyes with some difficulty.

   "You can only stop at him, and if you investigate further, it won't end well."

   "You are a smart person, this matter... you go and see to handle it yourself."

  Chen Ju nodded.

   "The person before Li Yan?"

   This matter was investigated from the shallower to the deeper. The people before Li Yan mentioned by Chen Ju were people like Zhou Danian and Li Ji.

   "All killed."

  The Emperor Chengde squinted his eyes: "Except Li Xin, one of the others is counted as one, and I will kill them all!"

   When things got to this point, how could the emperor of Chengde not hate him?

   I let Li Yan go because there is nothing I can do, but one of the people before Li Yan counts as one, and they all deserve to die!

  Chen Ju bent down deeply.

   "Old slave... Got it."

  …………

   When Chen Ju rushed to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Li Yan, the servant of the Ministry of War, had indeed suffered a lot.

Originally, he was also a Jiuqing-level official. According to the rules, no one can take him without an edict. Before the official body is removed, no one can torture him, but the third prince has never been a person who obeys the rules. His Royal Highness By doing it myself, Li Yan has already hit Li Yan with forty or fifty whips.

   He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is naturally not small. Li Yan's physique can't support it with fifty whips, and he almost faints from the pain.

  The third prince held the torture whip in his hand, looked coldly at the embarrassed Li Yan, and roared, "Tell me, who instructed you to harm my father and emperor?"

   Although Li Yan was embarrassed, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He opened his eyes with some difficulty and glanced at Ji Zhong.

   "Your Highness, if you treat me unruly today, someone will treat you unruly in the future, just wait and see."

   "How dare you be stubborn!"

   Ji Chong let out a low growl.

   "You gang of scoundrels and thieves harmed my father and emperor! Don't tell me what rules and regulations are unruly. Today this king killed you. If the court holds you accountable, this king will pay you for his life!"

   Ji Zhong's face was stern, and the whip in his hand shook with a loud whiplash.

   "You said or not?"

   Li Yan was covered in wounds, but the soldier didn't lower his head, just forced a smile: "His Royal Highness...what do you want me to say?"

   "I want you to tell the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Li Yan glanced at Ji Zhong neither lightly nor seriously, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is so submissive, it is nothing more than wanting this official to bite Nanhou, okay, this official now admits, this matter is indeed what I did. , was also instructed by the Marquis of Pingnan."

"and then?"

  Li Yan's face was calm: "His Royal Highness is going to Shu County now, and he has also captured the Marquis of Pingnan and brought him to the prison of the Punishment Department and beat him, and then forced him to ask who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

   Li Yan's remarks made Ji Zhong somewhat at a loss as to how to respond.

   This person was still a tough guy, why did his attitude change drastically after a while, and he bowed his head and confessed?

   Ji Zhong gave Li Yan a somewhat uncertain look.

   "You dare to draw bets?"

   Li Yan chuckled: "Of course I dare, the question is whether His Highness dares to let me draw a bet."

   Li Yan didn't look at Ji Zhong, but at a person not far behind Ji Zhong.

   This man walked in, shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, you have gone too far in this matter."

   Ji Zhong turned around in amazement, only to realize that Chen Ju, the Grand Duke of the Inner Palace, was standing behind him at some point in time.

   "Grand Duke, when did you arrive?"

   "It's been a while."

  Chen Ju glanced at Li Yan who was covered in blood, a flash of happiness flashed in his eyes, and then bent down towards Li Yan.

   "Li Shilang, Your Third Highness is ignorant and made you suffer. The imperial court will give you an explanation for this later."

   Li Yan glanced at Chen Ju lightly, and let go of the dangling heart in his heart.

   He was not worried about his own life, but worried that the emperor of Chengde would be fine.

  If the emperor was only slightly injured, then the Pingnan Army would have to raise the flag to rebel.

   But now that Chen Ju is here, it means that the emperor of Chengde, even if he is not dead, will not have long to live.

  Chen Ju personally untied the rope for Li Yan.

   Li Yan had wounds all over his body and had long lost his strength. As soon as the rope was loosened, he collapsed to the ground.

  Li Yan, who was sitting on the ground, looked up at Chen Ju and said respectfully, "Grand Duke, how is your majesty?"

  Chen Ju squinted his eyes and said, "It's just a minor injury. It'll be fine after a few days of recuperation. There's nothing serious."

Li Yan took a breath and said, "It's fine if there's nothing to do, it's fine if there's nothing wrong, please tell your Majesty that this matter has nothing to do with Li Yan or the Pingnan Hou Mansion, it's all Li Ji's random climb. bite!"

  Chen Ju glanced at Li Yan with a half-smile.

   "Your Majesty knows what Li Shilang said, otherwise His Majesty would not let us come and let Li Shilang go out."

   "Li Shilang, do you think so?"
