Chapter 408 Yang Xiu Suffers a Brutal Blow
Yang Xiu had some guesses in his mind, but he pretended to be clueless on the surface and unfolded the paper curiously.
When he saw the confession on the paper, his face changed immediately!
Wang Zhi deliberately placed Liu Yu's confession on top, so when Yang Xiu opened it, the first thing he saw was this confession.
He seemed to have suffered a great shock, his face turned extremely ugly, and he kept muttering, "How could...how could this happen? How could Shu'er do such a horrible thing? It's simply...it's simply insane!"
Wang Zhi silently looked at Yang Xiu's heartbroken face and felt only irony in his heart.
Yang Shu did such a thing in Prince Zhou's Mansion, and he didn't believe that Yang Xiu, as the prince, would be unaware of it.
If this is true, it only means that Prince Yang Xiu is not only a waste, but also a fool, and there is no one around him who really works for him.
Otherwise, how could he have been deceived all along and not even realize it?
Seeing that Yang Xiu was still heartbroken, Wang Zhi couldn't help but curl his lips and chuckled as he reminded: "Your Highness, why not take another look at Fang Shuo's confession."
Yang Xiu's heart was shaken, and he instantly had a worsening premonition.
He put down Liu Yu's confession and looked at the second one.
Then, his face quickly flushed red, and he became agitated. "This is simply slander! This is nonsense! This Fang Shuo is truly a despicable and shameless villain!"
At this point, he looked eagerly at Wang Zhi and quickly explained, "Eunuch Wang, does His Majesty have any instructions? Could you please allow me to enter the palace and personally apologize to His Majesty?"
Wang Zhi smiled faintly: "Don't panic, Your Majesty is very perceptive and will never be deceived by villains.
That's why I specially asked our family to deliver these two confessions and hand them over to the prince personally.
The Crown Prince can rest and recuperate in the palace. Don't worry about anything else. Your Majesty will have it handled properly."
After hearing what he said, Yang Xiu felt a little relieved.
Soon he smiled bitterly and said, "I never asked Lin Xiao to steal the Princess of Fu'an County. Although I don't know why he suddenly disappeared, I believe he will never betray me.
Now that he has gone and never returned, I'm afraid he encountered danger outside and couldn't come back."
After a pause, he continued, "I heard that Chen Shou has been on the run and his whereabouts remain unknown, and the remnants of the Chen family have never been completely eradicated.
I'm afraid this incident was the work of those people. They harbor resentment, so they deliberately created trouble and pinned the blame on Prince Zhou's Mansion, hoping to sow discord between Your Majesty and my father."
At the end of his speech, he frowned tightly and looked very worried.
Wang Zhi was slightly startled, but did not respond. He simply said, "Since the Crown Prince is fine, I will return to report to His Majesty. Take care, Crown Prince."
After saying that, he smiled, bowed to Yang Xiu, and turned around and walked out.
Yang Xiu silently watched his back until the figure disappeared. Estimating that the other party had gone far away, his face became completely gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as ice as he looked at the two confessions!
Liu Yu! Fang Shuo!
It’s really great!
His mother really gave birth to a good sister for him, but all the male favorites he raised were such a disaster!
So many people in Prince Zhou’s palace were nearly killed by that villain Fang Shuo!
If he had known this would happen, he would have skinned the beast alive!
On the other side, after leaving Prince Zhou's Palace, Wang Zhi went straight back to the palace and reported Yang Xiu's reaction to Emperor Taihe.
Emperor Taihe was shocked to hear what Yang Xiu had done. He sneered and looked at Wang Zhi and asked, "Do you think he really doesn't know?"
Wang Zhi said cautiously, "It seems that the Crown Prince of Zhou is indeed unaware of the situation. However, I feel that since he is the Crown Prince after all, it would be a bit unbelievable to say that he is completely unaware of the situation."
"Yes, as the Crown Prince, how could he be completely unaware? Does he think I'm a fool?"
Emperor Taihe snorted unhappily at the end of his speech.
Wang Zhi didn't dare to respond.
Emperor Taihe continued, "I am tired. Tomorrow, when the court is dismissed, I will say that I am ill. Let someone spread the confessions of those two men. I want to see if anyone in the court will plead for King Zhou!"
Wang Zhi accepted the order respectfully, but he was secretly excited in his heart.
Emperor Taihe was obviously dissatisfied with King Zhou, and it was hard to say how long King Zhou could sit on the throne.
If this news gets out, if anyone in the court really dares to plead for King Zhou, they will be courting death!
He must have someone keep a close eye on who is speaking for King Zhou!
By this time, the sky had completely darkened. After Emperor Taihe finished speaking, he went to Huaqing Palace to talk with Concubine Jiang.
The next morning, the ministers went to the palace to attend the morning court, but Emperor Taihe claimed to be ill and canceled the court session, and did not allow the ministers to visit him.
The court officials were inevitably uneasy and worried about Emperor Taihe's health.
Many people approached Wang Zhi to inquire about what exactly was wrong with Emperor Taihe? Was it serious? And why had he suddenly fallen ill?
Wang Zhi's face was full of helplessness. He didn't want to say anything at first. After being surrounded and questioned, he said with a bitter face that Yang Shu poisoned the Black Kirin Guard who was beside the medicine doctor yesterday, and was almost killed by Wang Kui, as well as the confessions of Liu Yu and Fang Shuo.
When the court officials heard this, they were immediately furious!
Princess Anning abused her maid? Inhumane?
The Prince of Zhou had someone steal the Xie family's baby and ordered the guards to kill the Princess An Ning?
Moreover, the King of Zhou actually wanted to rebel?
The court officials never imagined that attending the morning court session would lead them to hear such explosive news!
And what is the meaning of Emperor Taihe letting people release this information?
Is he planning to attack King Zhou?
This is not good news!
The court officials soon had different thoughts and wanted to meet Emperor Taihe even more.
However, Emperor Taihe refused to see anyone.
It was not until the eldest princess learned of his illness and was so frightened that she rushed to the palace to visit him that Emperor Taihe met her.
As soon as they met, he comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just pretending."
The princess carefully examined his face and saw that he looked fine. Then she asked, "My Royal Highness, do you think the King of Zhou is planning a rebellion?"
"If he says he doesn't want this position, I won't believe it. However, he may not have the courage to take action."
Emperor Taihe laughed sarcastically and said calmly, "You don't have to worry about these things. I will take care of them."
The eldest princess wisely stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "So, how does your Royal Brother plan to deal with Yang Xiu and Yang Shu?"
Emperor Taihe smiled meaningfully: "That depends on what King Zhou will do this time."
The eldest princess immediately understood what he meant, so she stopped asking questions, reminded Emperor Taihe to take care of his health, and then left.
On the other hand, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao were also secretly paying attention to the news outside.
Previously, Yang Shu forced Xie Xiu to divorce his wife and marry her as his second wife, and Tu Jiaojiao hated this woman very much.
Coupled with the incident of Xie Ying being stolen, she hated the siblings Yang Xiu and Yang Shu to the extreme.
So when she heard the rumors that the King of Zhou was planning a rebellion, she was immediately agitated and couldn't wait to run to ask Xie Xiu: "There are rumors outside that the King of Zhou is planning a rebellion. Does Your Majesty intend to kill him?"
