Chapter 279 Everything is under control
Ye Jiuxuan looked at the prince with leisurely eyes. Ye Tianqi tried to calm down, but he was still stunned by his eyes.
Emperor Wu's face became increasingly ugly: "Ninth Brother, what do you mean?"
"The person who poisoned him is none other than the prince." Ye Jiuxuan struck the final note, and Ye Tianqi's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He became angry with embarrassment and said angrily: "Uncle Nine Emperors, you can't spit on others."
The implication is that if Ye Jiuxuan has no evidence, he will produce it.
Ye Jiuxuan looked at Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, my brother has also found the evidence."
Emperor Wu felt like he was being roasted on a fire. He really had no face to protect the prince, so he said feebly: "Show me the evidence."
Ye Jiuxuan patted him, and then Kaiyang escorted a dark and thin man into the hall.
Seeing this man, Ye Tianqi felt cold from head to sole.
This person was his secret guard and the person he sent out to poison him last night.
Yun Wanyue looked surprised and asked Ye Jiuxuan with her eyes: Now that the secret guard has been caught, how can he still poison him successfully?
Ye Jiuxuan looked stern and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course you have to do the whole show."
Yun Wanyue suddenly realized that if the secret guard hadn't poisoned him successfully, how could Ye Tianqi come to complain to Emperor Wu.
It is indeed a thousand-year-old fox, very cunning.
"Your Majesty, this person is the secret guard of His Highness the Crown Prince. Last night he appeared sneakily among the wounded people. Seeing that he was suspicious, my younger brother caught him for interrogation. He told all the details about how the Crown Prince wanted him to poison him.
Confessed."
Emperor Wu looked at Ye Tianqi with an angry look on his face, as if he hated iron and wanted to take his head open to see if there were any missing strings inside.
"Prince, look at the good things you have done."
Ye Tianqi was like a trapped animal forced to a dead end, and said unconvinced: "Father, since Uncle Nine Emperors caught the person who poisoned him, why didn't he catch him in advance instead of asking him to do it after he had finished poisoning?
Isn't it very contradictory to just arrest him and let the people be harmed and poisoned? Since he has done something he has never done, he cannot admit it, and besides, he doesn't even know the person arrested by Uncle Nine Emperors."
Take the blame and clean yourself up.
I have to say that the prince's mind has become clearer for once.
Yun Wanyue stood aside and watched the development of the situation quietly. She also had doubts in her heart.
Since Ye Jiuxuan knew that someone was poisoning, why didn't he stop it?
It's not like his style to let people get poisoned.
Emperor Wu also looked at Ye Jiuxuan with a puzzled look on his face: "Ninth brother, are you really ignoring the safety of the people as the prince said?"
Emperor Wu was successfully led astray by the prince, and the focus was not on Ye Tianqi's poisoning, but on Ye Jiuxuan knowing that someone was poisoning and conniving at him.
Yun Wanyue couldn't help but sweat for Ye Jiuxuan. She knew that he would not make such a stupid mistake, but she was still a little nervous.
Ye Jiuxuan looked leisurely and said calmly: "Who said that Xiangmin was poisoned?"
Ye Tianqi's eyes widened: "So many injured people have symptoms of poisoning, and everyone present can see it clearly. Uncle Nine Emperors, you won't open your eyes and tell lies, will you?"
He rushed back to the palace only after confirming that the wounded people were poisoned.
Ye Jiuxuan now says that he was not poisoned, so what did he see? Is it fake?
Emperor Wu looked at Ye Jiuxuan, waiting for his explanation.
"The injured people were not poisoned, that is just an illusion." Ye Jiuxuan said calmly: "Since I have caught the poisoner, there is no reason for the people to be poisoned. The reason why I don't say it is because I want to poison the people.
The prince had a chance to change his ways, but he didn’t expect..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and said with a somewhat disappointed expression: "Not only did the prince fail to repent, but he even slandered others and bit him back."
Only then did Ye Tianqi realize that the poisoning was just an illusion to dig a hole for him.
But he jumped in voluntarily.
Ye Tianqi's face turned pale, and he obviously hadn't come back to his senses. Why did the situation that was obviously a sure win suddenly turn against the wind?
The one who suffered the most was Emperor Wu. One was his beloved concubine and the other was his prince.
It happened that the two people he cared about the most did the most unacceptable things to him.
Emperor Wu closed his eyes slightly and really wanted to go back in time.
But now, obviously it can't be done.
Ye Jiuxuan looked straight at him. His eyes were so oppressive that Emperor Wu could not protect the prince even if he wanted to.
Poisoning the people and framing the Nine Emperors Uncle are two serious crimes.
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Wu said angrily: "Prince, do you know your sin?"
Ye Tianqi knew that nothing he said this time was of any use. He knelt on the ground in frustration and began to beg for mercy: "Father, please forgive me. It was because I listened to the slander for a while and did something wrong. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Emperor Wu had a look of hatred that iron could not become steel. Just when he was thinking of how to punish the prince, he heard an anxious voice.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
It was the queen who came over after hearing the news. She came to intercede for the prince.
"Your Majesty, I have failed to teach my son well. I am willing to share the punishment with the prince." The queen looked remorseful and wished she could take the punishment on the prince's behalf.
Ye Tianqi looked shocked: "Mother?"
"Don't speak." The queen interrupted the prince and knelt on the ground: "I beg the emperor to give me and the prince a chance to repent. I am willing to give five million taels of silver to help the injured people."
The biggest shortage in the national treasury now is silver, and five million is not a small amount.
Emperor Wu fell into deep thought and seemed to be seriously considering the Queen's suggestion.
Yun Wanyue couldn't help but clenched her fists. If this were the case, wouldn't it mean that the prince had escaped another disaster?
She looked at Ye Jiuxuan nervously, but saw that his expression was calm and not affected at all.
It was as if the queen had been expected to come.
Could it be that he has other plans?
Yun Wanyue calmed down and planned to observe again.
Finally, Emperor Wu spoke: "It's great that the queen is willing to use the money to settle the injured people, but the prince, as the prince, acts so ill-consideredly, I cannot but punish him."
The queen said respectfully: "I respectfully listen to the emperor's will."
"I will punish the prince to confinement for a month."
This punishment seemed light, but for the prince it was already very serious.
No one knows what changes will happen this month.
The queen's heart sank, but she also knew that this was the biggest concession the emperor had ever made.
After all, Ye Jiuxuan is still watching from the sidelines.
She closed her eyes and accepted this reality.
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty Long En."
Although the prince was unwilling, seeing the queen thanking her, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
After leaving the gate of Qianqing Palace, Yun Wanyue and Ye Jiuxuan stood at the foot of the high steps, looking at each other as if they had a clear understanding of each other.
Ye Jiuxuan's eyes were as deep as deep springs under the sea, and his bright eyes were like the bright moon.
There is a soft glow in the deserted atmosphere.
Such a look was so lethal that Yun Wanyue didn't have the courage to look at him and hurriedly looked away.
"Ahem, Master Jiu, why didn't you just take advantage of the victory and pursue it?" Yun Wanyue asked what was in her heart.
Based on the scene just now, as long as Ye Jiuxuan opens his mouth, the punishment Ye Tianqi will receive is not just as simple as being fined and imprisoned.
