Quick Wear: The host is both a dog and ruthless

Chapter 326 A powerful official dressed as a man 1

Because the matter was of great importance, the Dali Temple Minister did not dare to make a decision on his own. He immediately reported the matter to Emperor Qing in secret and waited for his instructions.

Emperor Qing held the evidence compiled by the Dali Temple, his face was terribly cold. He did not make a public announcement, but quietly summoned many people to the palace.

The first group of people to come before Emperor Qing were Nangong Chen and the fifth prince Nangong Jin. When they saw Emperor Qing's expression, they knew something big was going to happen, so after greeting him, they stood quietly aside.

Prince Lu entered the palace with Minister Zhang. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Nangong Chen and Nangong Jin standing on the side.

The two men didn't know Emperor Qing's intention, so they just knelt down and greeted him politely.

Emperor Qing did not even ask anyone to stand up. He directly threw the secret assassination letter written by Prince Lu that he had found on the assassin in front of the two men and questioned Prince Lu with a sneer.

"Prince Lu, you are truly my good son! Are you so eager to take the throne?"

Prince Lu was stunned, holding the letter in his hand with bloodshot eyes.

This was not written by him. He has never written such a thing. This is a frame-up.

Although he was indeed the one who arranged the assassination yesterday, his plan was to take the opportunity to kill Nangong Chen first, and then deliberately leave Nangong Jin's badge to frame him.

This way, he kills two birds with one stone. Not only can he benefit as a fisherman, but he can also get rid of his two major enemies.

Although he didn't know what this secret letter that suddenly appeared was about, it was obvious that someone was deliberately framing him and wanted to drag him into trouble.

Prince Lu guessed correctly that the letter was placed there by Yuyan.

Although she didn't know what their plan was, it would not affect her decision to trick that bad guy.

Besides, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this assassination attempt by borrowing a knife to kill someone was a setup by him.

Therefore, during the chaos yesterday, Yu Yan, based on the principle of trapping him to death if she couldn't kill him, stuffed the secret letter written in the handwriting of King Lu into the assassin's arms.

Prince Lu knelt down and took two steps towards Emperor Qing, ignoring the fact that his arm was injured by an assassin yesterday, and anxiously defended himself.

"Father, this was not written by me. How could I possibly want to kill you and my brothers? I am innocent. Someone is trying to frame me."

Minister Zhang had also read the letter at this time. Looking at the heart-piercing words on it that were enough to destroy Prince Lu, he became so angry that his face turned red. He knelt beside Prince Lu and began to cry out for injustice.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Your Highness Prince Lu is innocent! You are your father. Your Highness respects you very much. How could you do such a treasonous thing?"

"Father, please understand. I really didn't do that. I have always loved my brothers and we have always lived in harmony. How could I want to kill them?"

Faced with the two people's explanations, Emperor Qing looked indifferent.

He sat back in his seat expressionlessly and turned to look at his two sons who were equally shocked.

He casually picked up a token from the table and threw it at Nangong Jin's feet.

"This was found on the assassin. Jin'er, do you have anything to explain?"

Nangong Jin was watching the show with gloating, but he didn't expect that the blame would come from the sky. He fell to his knees with a plop and joined the team crying out for injustice.

"Father, this does not belong to me. I accidentally lost my token two days ago. I was not responsible for the assassination. I am innocent. Someone is trying to frame me."

Emperor Qing certainly knew that this incident had nothing to do with him, but he had been in frequent contact with ministers in the court recently and his mind was a little too active, so he just took this opportunity to give him a warning.

Nangong Chen, who was standing aside, looked at the people kneeling on the ground and crying out for justice, his brows furrowed and his face blank.

Seeing Emperor Qing suddenly looking at him again at this moment, he also knelt down with a plop, looking at Emperor Qing with an innocent face.

"Father, do you still have a son? But I don't know anything."

"........."

A few black lines slid down Emperor Qing's forehead. Looking at his son who was joining in the fun, he waved his sleeves and asked him to stand aside.

At this time, Yuyan and Gu Heng, who were also summoned, finally arrived. As soon as Yuyan arrived, she knelt down and apologized.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was almost hit by a carriage on the way here. Fortunately, I was saved by Prime Minister Gu's guards. That's why I am late."

"Oh, was it an accident?" Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"No, it was murder. It was the Prince of Lu who wanted to kill me to silence me. I want to expose the Prince of Lu. He bribed me many times and deliberately let me lead the Seventh Prince into bad habits and ruin his reputation. He even tried to assassinate the Seventh Prince many times. Yesterday, he even asked me to poison the Seventh Prince, but I didn't do it. The evidence is still here."

After saying that, he took out a packet of medicine from his sleeve.

King Lu's pupils shrank and his brows furrowed. Listening to Yu Yan's accusation, he became furious. He pointed at Yu Yan with his squinted eyes and spoke viciously.

"Yuyan, you are so bold, how dare you slander me. Father, I didn't do that, he was the one who wanted to frame me."

Prince Lu never expected that Yu Yan would actually retaliate against him.

Although he arranged the assassination yesterday, in order to ensure that nothing could go wrong, he also ordered his uncle to give Yu Yan a packet of poison, asking him to take the opportunity to pass it to Nangong Chen. Unexpectedly, these have now become evidence for him to accuse him.

Seeing Prince Lu trying to argue forcibly, Yu Yan glanced at Emperor Qing and spoke again in a cold voice.

"Prince Lu, there is no need to explain. Your Majesty has seen all of this and knows it all. Otherwise, why do you think you sent people to assassinate the Seventh Prince so many times, but the Seventh Prince was able to escape unscathed?"

Prince Lu was shocked physically and mentally. He looked at Emperor Qing sitting on the high throne, then at Yu Yan. He took a step back in disbelief, his eyes full of self-mockery.

"So you are my father's man. You pretended to be bribed by me before just to deceive me, lower my guard, and better protect Nangong Chen. I was actually played in your hands."

Prince Lu thought that he could definitely get rid of Nangong Chen, his powerful rival, this time, but he didn't expect that he would end up losing more than he gained, and he actually made a mistake.

The seemingly kind-hearted Yu Yan is actually a two-faced and sinister person.

At this moment, Prince Lu looked at Yu Yan with hatred gritting his teeth.

He didn't expect that the one who would bring him failure in the end was actually such a small minion, who was brought over by him through money, coercion and bribery.

Yuyan neither confirmed nor denied what King Lu said.

But actually, Prince Lu was wrong. She was not His Majesty's person at the beginning. How could she, a lowly official who had just entered the court, be qualified to be His Majesty's person?

It was only after she was interviewed by Minister Zhang for the first time that she thought about it on the way and decided to cut her beautiful long hair bald in order not to waste brain cells, and of course for her bright future.

She turned around and told Emperor Qing everything that Minister Zhang had coerced and bribed her into doing.

Emperor Qing was silent for a long time. His scrutinizing eyes made Yuyan's back cold. Then he asked Yuyan, "Why?"

He asked her why she had to report to the emperor, why she did not accept the instigation of the Shangshu and Prince Lu, and why she was unwilling to persecute the Seventh Prince?

She knows this question.

Yuyan looked determined and expressed her loyalty to Emperor Qing with great righteousness.

"I am a humble servant with little influence. I am powerless to resist the coercion of the Minister. However, I regard the Seventh Prince as my brother, friend and ruler. I will never hurt him. Therefore, I have no choice but to seek your protection. More importantly, Yu Yan is my subject and the Emperor is my ruler. The only person I will always be loyal to is Your Majesty."

At that time, Emperor Qing looked at Yu Yan for a long time, and then tacitly allowed her to continue to be a spy.
