Chapter 421 2 Princes

Following the emperor's order, the entire Dali Temple became busy. The group of people already had evidence, and the prisoners had basically confessed their crimes. They just had to make sure that no one would do anything to these people, so their work was not too difficult! The case would be solved soon!

Second Prince's Mansion

"What did you say? They have been escorted back! How is that possible? Aren't Yun Qinghan and Ye Xiao back yet?" The second prince stood up suddenly and shouted in disbelief.

Ever since he received the news, he has been restless. Both private soldiers and iron mines are serious crimes, so serious that even he, a prince, is in danger.

So as soon as he got the news, he began to clean up the loopholes in the mansion, and then sent people around him to destroy the evidence. Even if there was news, as long as there was no evidence, his father could not punish him.

So he sent out almost all the people around him, in addition to destroying the evidence. Yun Qinghan and Ye Xiao were both his father's confidants. If these two people could not come back, there would be no evidence, and he would be safer.

But aren't Yun Qinghan and Ye Xiao back yet? How come the criminal and the evidence have already reached the emperor?

"Your Highness... Your Highness, it is true that Prince Yun and Marquis Ye have not returned, but...but the prisoners and the evidence were escorted back by a young Taoist priest. All the prisoners have been taken to the Dali Temple, and the Taoist priest has also entered the palace to meet the Emperor." The servant said carefully.

"How could this happen? Where did this Taoist come from?" The second prince angrily swept away the tea set on the table. The next second, he slumped down in his chair, muttering, "It's over, it's over, it's all over, haha! It's all over!"

The servant knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, even his breathing was cautious, but his face also looked pale.

As servants, they can only be well if their master is well. Now that their master is finished, they, the servants, will not have a good ending either. They can only wait in fear for the next punishment.

"Greetings, Second Prince. The Emperor summons the Second Prince. Please follow me!" A shrill voice sounded, and the Second Prince slowly stood up and walked to the door step by step. He looked up at the blue sky and suddenly felt that it was so far away from him.

With a wry smile, he straightened his clothes, straightened his back, and said as usual: "Let's go!"

Royal Palace

"Do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Jingming threw the account books and the testimonies of those officials in front of the second prince.

The second prince knelt straight on the ground, his face expressionless: "Your Highness has nothing to say!"

Since ancient times, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. If he wins, he will naturally sit on the throne, and if he loses, he can also bear the consequences. As a prince, he does not want to be mediocre, nor does he want to kneel down to his brothers in the future. So isn't it natural for him to work hard?

When he decided to do this, he anticipated that this day might come, but this was his choice and he would never regret it. He would only regret it if he did nothing!

Looking at the expression of the Second Prince, Emperor Jingming sighed and suddenly lost the desire to speak. Didn’t all the royal family members come here in this way?

Not only them, but also the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty... As long as there are interests, there will naturally be struggles. They are all sons, all princes, so it is normal for them to have this kind of heart. It is rare for the royal family to be unknown and indifferent to fame and fortune! After all, there is only one throne. If they don't fight for it, they will not only lose the throne, but also have to kneel down and kowtow to their brothers in the future.

If possible, who wouldn't want to be the one being kowtowed to? So now that his son made a mistake, he couldn't even blame him. After all, he had been through this, and his current throne was also earned and snatched. How could he ask his child to wait patiently?

In an instant, Emperor Jingming suddenly felt very tired and sighed: "Forget it, someone is here to pass on the imperial decree. The second prince is ambitious and reckless. He privately trained his troops and did not report the iron mine... The second prince's status will be revoked immediately, and he will be confined to the palace and not allowed to go out!" (Everyone, just read it. I can't make up an imperial decree! I'll check the history and make changes when I have time!)

The second prince saluted respectfully: "Your son obeys your order!"

As the matter came to an end, Shu Xiaoxiao and Yun Qinghan also discovered that the people who were chasing them suddenly withdrew. Shu Xiaoxiao was confused: "Brother! They, they finally left!"

Yun Qinghan touched Shu Xiaoxiao's hair lovingly: "It should have been resolved, and it's time for us to go back!" There was some regret in his tone.

Shu Xiaoxiao didn't feel it was a pity at all. Since they had formed a relationship in the mountain village, it could be considered as a commitment. Even though it was so dangerous outside, her senior brother still wanted to be close to her.

Now the area above her neck has been compromised. If she hadn't resisted firmly, no one knows what would have happened. This was when the assassins were getting closer and closer, otherwise Shu Xiaoxiao might have been in a worse situation.

Now that she heard she could go back, she wanted to go back quickly and safely, otherwise she felt her innocence would be at risk!

"Hey, Senior Brother, someone else is here, but it's not the same person as before!" Shu Xiaoxiao asked in confusion. Didn't they leave? Why is there someone else?

Yun Qinghan frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something: "Wait, maybe he is looking for us, or saving us."

Hearing Yun Qinghan say this, Shu Xiaoxiao put down her hand that was urging Dabai to leave and waited quietly for the person to come.
