Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 616 Mitian (2)

  If someone was standing by the wall at this time, Li Chang's face could be clearly seen.

   There was no sleepiness on his face, his eyes were surprisingly bright, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was smiling silently. With a gloomy dungeon, it is creepy, and the cold air blows from the back.

  Li Chang is indeed laughing.

  The blood was surging in the body, and the heart was pounding in the chest.

   Really exciting!

   He followed the rules for so many years, living like a shadow under the protection of his brother. After his mother, Concubine Su, died, no one cared about him anymore. Married a daughter-in-law and came back, and he was not of the same mind.

   In his heart, the closest person is Li Hao.

   However, what even Li Hao didn't know was that the person he hated the most was also his brother.

   Finally, one day, the elder brother lowered his head and begged him: "... Fifth brother, this time, only you can save me. It's just that there are many risks involved in this matter. I beg you to help me."

The    brother looked anxious and anxious, and even knelt down and begged him.

   At that moment, he almost trembled with excitement.

   He stretched out his hand to support his brother, and said decisively: "Third brother, we are brothers. In this world, no one is closer than us. Whatever you want me to do, just open your mouth."

  Li Hao was grateful and moved, and his eyes were red. Then he lowered his voice and said a series of words in his ear.

   He nodded in response without hesitation.

   Next, it's a good show.

   After so many days, he was still immersed in the impassioned emotions he had in the Wenhua Hall that day. Every time he thinks of it, the pores of his whole body open up, which is inexhaustible.

  Everything is according to my brother's plan and expectation.

  The Qian family members are all dead, and there is no evidence of their deaths, and all the correspondence and physical evidence they have exchanged have also been completely destroyed. Without evidence, no one can convict their brother.

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, they have to set up a final game, so that the crown prince, princess, and even the queen will be splashed with dirty water, which will never be washed.

  Thinking of this, Li Chang grinned even more.

   A little candle behind him stretched his shadow and cast it on the wall. The jade crown with its long hair was also deformed under the light of the candlelight, like a beast with its teeth and claws, lying on top of his head.

  …

   That night, Li Chang was so excited that he hardly slept. It wasn't until the fourth watch that he fell asleep in a daze.

   The light in the dungeon is dim, and the alternation of day and night has long been blurred. There is no one at all except someone bringing food every day. Li Chang has plenty of time to sleep.

   However, Li Chang was woken up early this morning.

  The clattering sound of the chains rang out.

  Li Chang was particularly sensitive to this sound, and turned over with difficulty. This time he was a lot more careful and didn't fall over under the bed. Squinting his eyes, he looked at the person coming.

  The one who opened the iron gate was the Duke of Dongping.

   The one who came with the Duke of Dongping was Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

  Li Chang usually has a thin sense of existence, but in the end, he is also a prince. Emperor Yongjia was lying on the dragon couch, before he could personally interrogate him. No one formally convicted Li Chang, and no one dared to be harsh and neglect him.

  Li Chang lived in the dungeon for so many days, at least two meat, two vegetarian dishes and four dishes for each meal. I didn't see the haggard and thin, and a little fatter.

  Yao Shangshu bowed his hands slightly: "I came here today, and I want to ask His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince about something."

  Li Chang got up from the bed. The awkward posture did not affect his pride and contempt at all: "What does Yao Shangshu want to ask?"

Yao Shangshu's eyes were like torches, and he fixedly fell on Li Chang's face, not letting go of the slightest change in Li Chang's expression: "The Qian family is all dead, in the house of Eunuch Ge. The people who served there were also poisoned. Death. Even Eunuch Ge took poison and committed suicide. Dare to ask Your Highness, is this what Your Highness did?"

   It's time to show off your superb acting skills!

  Li Chang squinted his eyes and said in the most arrogant tone: "Before I entered the palace to plead guilty to the emperor, I had made arrangements. I ordered the killing of the Qian family, and I also gave the order to kill the password."

   "One person does things and one person is responsible. There is nothing I dare not admit to what I have done."

   Yao Shangshu: "..."

   No wonder the emperor was so angry that he was stroked.

   Even as a courtier, seeing the virtue of the Fifth Prince, he wanted to hack him with a knife!

The corners of Yao Shangshu's eyes jumped, and his voice was relatively steady: "In this matter, we must pay attention to the fact and evidence. It is not a matter of admitting it if you want to. The Fifth Highness admits it directly. Rong Chen asked carefully, how did His Highness give the order? , Who made the move, and where did the poison come from. Also, how could Eunuch Ge commit suicide by taking poison? Why can't I find any letters related to the Qian family in the house?"

Li Chang sneered and glanced at Yao Shangshu provocatively: "I have already pleaded guilty, and what evidence do I need. As for the details, there is no need to tell you. When the father calls in the future, I will tell the father one by one. ."

   You can’t use punishment, and you can’t ask questions.

   The interrogation was so light, without pain or itching, no wonder Li Chang was so arrogant.

  Yao Shangshu's eyes darkened, but he didn't say any more, he just said: "Please think about it carefully, Your Highness, I will come back in a few days."

   After saying that, he bowed his hands in a salute, then turned and left.

   Li Chang let out a weird laugh that was almost hehe.

  The Duke of Dongping gave Li Chang a helpless look. He wanted to say something, but he held back and left silently.

   After that, the dungeon returned to dead silence.

  Li Chang was hungry, he pulled the iron lock forcefully, and shouted, "This prince is hungry, so let's get some food to come."

   One of the personal soldiers went to bring the food.

  Li Chang ate very fast, a few plates of dishes and a large bowl of japonica rice were quickly pulled down by chopsticks. This has been the case for many days, and the two personal soldiers also relaxed their vigilance a little, standing outside the cell and talking in a low voice.

  Li Chang glanced at the two personal soldiers, and quickly reached out to wipe the jade crown. When he retracted his hand again, there was a tiny white pill in his palm.

   When he was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, his entire body was searched. Even the belt was taken away, lest he strangle himself with the belt if he can't think of it.

  No one knew that the jade crown he wore had another mystery. This jade crown is a hidden organ, which contains small pills the size of a grain of rice. This white pill was also given to him by his brother Li Hao.

   This is a miracle medicine that is hard to find in the world. After taking it, without a cup of tea, it will show signs of poisoning. In fact, it doesn't kill anyone at all.

  Li Hao told him that when he heard the news of the Qian family's death, and then someone entered the dungeon for interrogation, he could wait for the opportunity to take this medicine. When he showed symptoms of poisoning, no one dared to watch his prince die, and he would definitely go to Xuan Taiyi to save his life.

  , etc., this matter came to the father's ears. What will the father think?

  The father and the emperor will definitely think that this is the evil hand of Queen Qiao's mother and son!

   By then, the prince and Queen Qiao were full of mouths and couldn't explain it!
