Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 598: Implicated (2)

The sky is getting darker.

Several candlesticks were burned in the hall, and the wind lanterns under the eaves of the corridor were also hung up, and the dim light fell on the figure kneeling upright under the eaves of the corridor.

Li Hao didn't move, his handsome face seemed to be fixed, and there was a look of humiliation and burden in the silence.

This quality and endurance cannot be ignored.

Eunuch Liu came out again, and it was already two hours later: "The emperor has an oral decree, and His Royal Highness the third prince of Xuan has an audience."

Li Hao thanked him and got up from the ground. Kneeling for two hours, my knees were stiff and tingling. He just endured it with extraordinary stamina, and his footsteps were slightly sluggish when walking.

After entering the main hall, looking at Emperor Yongjia's cold eyes, Li Hao knelt down again: "My son has seen the father and emperor."

Emperor Yongjia stared at Li Hao closely: "Li Hao, I ask you, is what Shen Shilang said in the memorial true or false? Are you really connected with the Qian family?"

Li Hao raised his head, Jun's face was full of bitterness: "Father, I really don't know how to explain this."

"Every New Year's Day, there are a lot of people in and out of the capital who come to the Prince's Mansion to give gifts. The Qian family is also among them. Erchen has a staff member from Jiangnan who knows the head of the Qian family. The Qian family asked Erchen's On the staff, Erchen gave him this honor and accepted the gift."

"Other than that, Erchen has no other contacts with the Qian family."

"My son didn't know the ambitions of the Qian family until this moment. They dared to assassinate the prince, and my son wanted to kill them with a thousand cuts."

The last sentence is very sincere.

Emperor Yongjia squinted his eyes, but did not speak, his gloomy eyes still stared at Li Hao: "In the confession of the head of the Zhu family, this is not what he said."

"They said that the Qian family had joined the third prince's mansion, and the assassination of the prince was made only by the third prince's signal. They also said that the third prince promised to reward them with the whole Jiangnan area in the future. With such bait, how could they dare to commit murder?"

Li Hao let out a long sigh: "What my minister says now is like a sophistry. The father doesn't believe the son, and the son doesn't know what to say. Please order the counties and counties to arrest the Qian family. Wait for them. Being found, the natural truth will be revealed."

Emperor Yongjia snorted coldly: "To catch a traitor is to make a pair, and to catch a thief and get dirty. I understand this principle. Don't worry, until you find the Qian family, no one can touch you."

After a while, he said: "I will give you one last chance. You tell me the truth. Li Hao, do you feel resentment towards the crown prince and princess because of the death of Concubine Su, and you walk in a bad way for a while? The wrong way?"

"As long as you admit it honestly, I will not kill you."

Li Hao's eyes were dim, and the corners of his mouth were full of astringency: "My father still doesn't believe in Erchen. Erchen admits that he has resentment towards his second brother and second sister-in-law. The revenge of killing his mother, Erchen will never let go. But that is Erchen. My second brother, blood is thicker than water, how could my son do things like killing his own brother and other pigs and dogs."

"The misunderstanding in this is hard to explain now. It's because the ministers are confused, and they shouldn't be soft-hearted and accept the Qian family's New Year's gift. The Qian family is very ambitious, and they use this matter to support the flag. , united the four families of King Zhu Wei and Shen to assassinate the second brother. Now I have fallen into the quagmire, and I can't wash it."

Speaking, his eyes were quietly red, but no tears were seen, and he remained calm: "Father, my son dares to make an oath to heaven, and my son has never done anything to feel sorry for the second brother. If you violate this oath, you will Let Erchen be stabbed in the chest with a sword!"

Even these poisonous oaths are uttered.

It was inconvenient for Emperor Yongjia to say anything else, and he gave Li Hao a deep look: "I also hope that what you said is true. You go back to the manor first, without my verbal order, don't leave the mansion for the time being. Also, that A staff member who is acquainted with the Qian family, you are sent to the Ministry of Housing for a careful review."

Li Hao kowtowed and thanked, got up and backed out.

……

After a stick of incense, Li Hao returned to the Third Prince's Mansion, and opened his mouth to order: "From now on, the mansion will not be sealed. Also, please invite Jiang's staff to go to the Punishment Department."

Jiang aide gave his life generously, and took his order without saying a word.

Meng Yunluo looked terrified and reached out to grab Li Hao's arm: "His Royal Highness, what happened? Why did you seal the mansion?"

The two-year-old boy beside him was frightened by his mother's frightened appearance, and his small hands tightly grasped Li Hao's shirt.

This boy has a single name and a Wei character. It was the son Meng Yunluo gave birth to more than two years ago, half a year younger than Li Cong.

Meng Yunluo suffered from dystocia when she gave birth to a child. Because of this, he looked at the only son more tightly than his eyes. On weekdays, several wet nurses take turns holding her, and she has not yet been weaned, so she is very delicate.

Li Hao also loves his son very much. Seeing his son crying, he leaned over and hugged him, and patted his back: "Don't be afraid, it's fine. From tomorrow onwards, I won't go anywhere, just stay with you mother and son in the house."

Meng Yunluo still wanted to speak, but Li Hao frowned and winked.

Don't scare the kids.

Meng Yunluo reluctantly shut her mouth. When Li Wei was coaxed into laughter, the nurse hugged him down, and then hurriedly whispered: "Your Highness, why is it about to seal the mansion?"

Li Hao glanced at Meng Yunluo~IndoMTL.com~ and said lightly: "The prince was assassinated. Someone confessed that the Qian family of the five Jiangnan families had a private relationship with me, saying that I ordered them to assassinate the prince."

Meng Yunluo gasped, her face turned white, and her voice kept shaking: "Your Highness, is it...is it you..."

"Of course not." Li Hao frowned and his voice suddenly sank: "Although I have received gifts from the Qian family, I have never met the Qian family. I didn't instruct them to assassinate the prince!"

Seeing Li Hao's gloomy expression, Meng Yunluo trembled in her heart and did not dare to ask any more.

In the past three years, the husband and wife have been together less often. She had no idea what Li Hao was doing outside and who was gathering around. Li Hao made a vow, but for some reason, she couldn't believe it from the bottom of her heart...

"His Royal Highness Qi, the fifth prince has come down." A servant came in to report.

Li Hao snorted: "Please go to the study room and wait for me."

Meng Yunluo suppressed the doubts and unease in her heart, squeezed out a smile and said, "I'll prepare meals for you. You and the fifth brother have just two drinks."

Li Hao nodded slightly. Then got up and went to the study.

"Third brother!" Li Chang hurried to greet him. Over the past three years, Li Chang's face has become fat again, and he is trembling as he walks: "You really entered the palace today to plead guilty?"

Li Hao's eyes sank, and he glanced at Li Chang: "Go in and talk."

No one knows what the two brothers said in the study.

It was Jiang's staff who went to the Ministry of Punishment, but he was interrogated that night and his mouth was pried open.

The Qian family went to Beijing several times, begging privately to see the third prince. The third prince has never been seen, and the one who met the Qian family was the fifth prince, Li Chang!
