Chapter 283: Chapter 123-eighteenth Prince dead (3)
He looked at cui Lao.
Taoist master Xuan Xin’s anger disappeared. He asked rationally,”You didn’t come here just to tell me this, did you?”
Cui Lao smiled.”You’re right. I’m here to give you a piece of good news, ninth Highness.”
Daoist priest Xuan Xin was all ears.
“This old man has a granddaughter who is as beautiful as the moon and flowers. She is educated, gentle, and virtuous. If she marries the ninth Prince, it will be a wonderful story.” Cui Lao laughed.
“This is a good thing, but I can’t make the decision.” Daoist priest Xuan Xin smiled and rejected him tactfully.
“Before this matter is settled, they can convict ninth Highness with the evidence they have. This old master knows that you’ve prepared a backup plan, but you’ve neglected one point. Ninth Highness shouldn’t have taken the risk himself!”
He took a sip of tea.
“I’m getting old, I’m a little thirsty after just a few words. ”
Aunt Xue took the teapot and filled his cup again.
He took a sip.
“His Highness Jiu is in their hands now. If they torture him, he won’t be able to hold on any longer and say something he shouldn ‘t. Even if your backup comes in handy, what can you do? At that time, it would be too late even if ninth Highness could escape. ”
“Since you like the ninth Prince and want to marry him, you should know his personality. As long as he doesn’t want to say anything, do you think torture will work?”
Daoist priest Xuan Xin paused for a moment and continued.
“As long as His Majesty is not convicted, His Highness is a Prince. Do you think they would dare to do that?”
Daoist priest Xuan Xin also had some doubts about this.
He had heard about Xiao ran’s incident.
However, he didn’t expect Shen Yiming to be an abandoned son of the Shen family. As long as his surname was still Shen, they would not dare to make a move in the open.
Unless he left the capital, he would never have the chance to make a move.
Other than using external tactics.
“That may be the case, but can you afford the bet?” Cui Lao retorted.
Daoist priest Xuan Xin was silent. They couldn’t afford to gamble. Once they failed, they would lose everything.
Facing the other princes who were waiting in the surroundings, the consequences would be unpredictable if they pounced on him.
“I happen to have some evidence in my hands. I know who set up this trap for the ninth Prince and put the blame on him,” cui Lao said.
Shua!
Daoist priest Xuan Xin’s eyes sparkled as he looked at him seriously.”Is this true?”
“As long as the ninth Prince agrees to the marriage, I swear on the cui family’s thousand-year reputation that I’ll make sure the person behind the scenes can’t make a comeback. In this way, with the backup you’ve prepared, ninth Highness will be able to turn the tables. If the two of them dare to use torture on their own, we can still take the opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop. ”
This time, Daoist priest Xuan Xin pondered for a longer time.
Cui Lao didn’t rush him. He drank his snow ginseng tea and waited patiently. He believed that Taoist master Xuan Xin was a smart person and knew what to do.
As for whether the ninth Prince would agree or not?
He believed this without a doubt. If someone who could become the ninth Prince’s trusted aide didn’t even have this bit of ability, how could he have climbed to this position?
He finished his cup of tea.
He still hadn’t made up his mind.
“It’s fine if we waste some time outside, but it’ll be hard on Your Highness,”cui Lao added.
This sentence.
It suppressed the last bit of determination in Daoist priest Xuan Xin’s heart.
Although the marriage with the cui family would greatly increase his power and reach the level of the first Prince, second Prince, and third Prince, it would also bring him to the light from the dark.
He had become one of the most powerful targets for the Crown Prince.
But ...
Even if the marriage wasn’t arranged, as long as the ninth Prince could get away after this, he would be able to escape.
Those princes were no fools. To be able to retreat in one piece under such circumstances, how could it be so simple? He would also walk up the stage.
Daoist priest Xuan Xin had considered all aspects of the matter.
“Good! I promise you. On the day His Highness is officially recognized, I will personally persuade him to go to your cui family to propose marriage. ” Daoist priest Xuan Xin said.
“Smart! I knew you wouldn’t let me down. ” Cui Lao nodded in satisfaction.
It swayed.
It was already the third day.
Three days passed.
All the forces in the capital city were waiting and watching in secret to see if the divine sword guards could solve the case and bring justice to the scholars in the world.
During this period of time.
The divine sword guards were under great pressure.
Today.
More than ten thousand scholars and examinees once again gathered on the Vermilion Bird Avenue and stopped outside the South Gate of the Imperial Palace.
“Three days are up. Hand over the murderer!”
“If you don’t give us an explanation, we won’t stop!”
“We want to see his Majesty! We want His Majesty to uphold justice for us!”
The crowd was excited and shouted with all their might.
The general of the Imperial Army stepped forward with a cold face and ordered someone to draw a white line a thousand feet away. Anyone who crossed the line would be killed without mercy.
At the same time.
He then instructed the generals to guard this place while he personally went to the palace to report this matter.
Outside the Xuanhe Palace.
All the officials were waiting here.
Fu Xianhe was as straight as before. His face was resolute and he was not afraid of the wind and rain. However, his eyes were firm.
Looking at the tightly shut Palace door, they were waiting for Emperor Shengwen to meet them.
Yuan cultivation Hall.
Eunuch Zhu walked in from outside and stopped in front of Emperor Sheng Wen.”Your Majesty, all the ministers have arrived.”
“Yes.” Emperor Sheng Wen responded.
Eunuch Zhu ordered the ministers to enter the hall of proclaimed peace.
The palace door opened.
A eunuch walked out from inside and shouted with the voice of a rooster,””His Majesty has ordered all the officials to enter the palace!”
