I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess Novel - Chapter 284
Chapter 284: Chapter 123-eighteenth Prince dead (3)
When they entered the main hall, Emperor Sheng Wen was dressed neatly. He came from the back door and sat on the Dragon Throne.
“The evidence is irrefutable. Your Majesty, please convict the ninth Prince and return peace to the world of scholars.” A Minister jumped out.
Following his lead, many people immediately agreed.
Only a small number of people remained silent.
Among them were the Three Ducal Ministers, Fu Xianhe, and the generals.
Emperor Sheng Wen looked at Fu Xianhe.”Any results?”
Fu Xianhe looked at the sky. There was still a while before noon, but his face remained unchanged.”It’s not time yet.”
“Is that so?” Emperor Sheng Wen revealed a playful expression.
At this moment.
A young eunuch walked over quickly. Under the gazes of all the civil and military officials, he whispered a few words into eunuch Zhu’s ear, then bowed and left through the side door.
…
Eunuch Zhu then whispered a few words into Emperor Sheng Wen’s ear, and the Emperor nodded.
After receiving the order, eunuch Zhu left.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he disappeared.
They guessed in their hearts, could it be that there were other changes in the situation?
He didn’t let them wait long.
Soon, the eighteenth Prince walked in.
Some smart people had already guessed something. They looked at Emperor Sheng Wen sitting on the Dragon Throne and were shocked. What a good move.
“Your son greets Imperial father!” The eighteenth Prince bowed.
“Can’t you see that I’m currently discussing state affairs with the various ministers?” Emperor Sheng Wen scolded with a stern face.
Plop!
The eighteenth Prince knelt on the ground, his head touching the ground.”I deserve to die. I’m here to confess my sins!”
“What crime have you committed?” Emperor Sheng Wen was expressionless.
“I disguised myself as ninth brother and secretly ordered the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites to steal the exam questions from the Ministry of Rites ‘warehouse. Then, I sold the questions to Lin Yunyi and the others at a high price and helped them think of a way to cheat.” The eighteenth Prince said.
Hiss!
All the officials gasped and looked at him in disbelief.
In his heart, he shouted the word ‘conspiracy’.
“Do you know what you’re saying? Once the crime is confirmed, you’ll be beyond redemption. I’ll ask you one last time, is this true?”
“Your son knows what I’m doing. This matter was indeed your son’s doing, but I didn’t expect to cause such a big trouble for Imperial father!”
At this point.
The eighteenth Prince raised his head and looked at Emperor Sheng Wen without any emotion.
Emperor Sheng Wen looked at him.
“I’m willing to die to atone for my sins and bring justice to all the scholars in the world!”He continued.
“Hurry up and stop him!” Emperor Sheng Wen ordered.
Eunuch Zhu understood tacitly and deliberately slowed down.
When the eighteenth Prince raised his palm and smacked his head, his head shattered and he fell to the ground powerlessly. Only then did he rush in front of him and help him up.
“Your Highness, why are you doing this?”
The eighteenth Prince turned his head and looked at Emperor Sheng Wen.”I deserve it. Please take good care of my sister, she is innocent …” He said.
His breath disappeared, and his eyes closed. His arms drooped down powerlessly.
Eunuch Zhu tested his nose. He was good at acting. His expression changed and he shouted,”Your Majesty, his, His Highness has left!”
Bang! Bang!
Emperor Sheng Wen slammed his hand on the Imperial table with a cold face.
Everyone knelt on the ground, except for the three Dukes.
He looked at Fu Xianhe.”Is this the answer you got from your investigation?”
Fu Xianhe’s expression didn’t change.”Your Highness has passed away. My heart hurts!” However, I still insist on my point of view. The time is not up yet. ”
“Good! Very good! There’s less than an hour before noon, I can afford to wait. ” Emperor Sheng Wen sneered.
He ordered people to carry the eighteenth Prince’s body down and give it a proper burial.
Purgatory.
Xiao ran and Shen Yiming’s faces were grave.
“Today is the third day. If we don’t have any results before noon, we will be in a very passive position.” Shen Yiming said.
“You wait for me here.” Xiao ran said.
“What do you want to do?” Shen Yiming asked hurriedly.
“He’s already reached his limit for being able to hold on until now. I don’t believe he can continue to hold on.”
“You know what you’re doing. I’ll wait for your good news here.”
“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.
He entered the ninth Prince’s cell again.
After three days of torture and not eating or drinking, the ninth Prince had reached his limit. Even his screams had become weak. No matter how much pain he felt, his screams were pitifully soft.
The blood on his body had dried up, and his face was badly swollen. He was worse off than a pig.
In addition, purgatory was dark and the lights were very dim.
In the beginning, he could still calculate the time.
However, after three days, under the torture of pain, he had long forgotten about time. There was only one thought in his heart: I can’t die Here.
Otherwise, all their plans would be for naught. Instead, they would benefit others and benefit the other princes.
He saw Xiao ran.
Before Xiao ran could make another move, he took the initiative to say,”stop! Hurry up and stop, I’ll talk …”
Even the way he addressed her had changed, which showed how severe the punishment he had suffered was.
Xiao ran’s eyes lit up. He felt that happiness had come too suddenly.
He pointed with his finger.
He temporarily relieved the pain on his body and coldly rebuked,””Speak!”
He took out a pen washi and began to record.
“I was the one who told twelfth brother about the test, but I didn’t do it! My original intention was just to play a joke on twelfth brother. However, I didn’t expect that both of us would fall into a trap. Someone actually set up a trap behind our backs and trapped us in it. ” The twelfth Prince said.
