Li Chengqian, Li Yunrui, and Chen Pingping were detained in different places.
As Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui were members of the royal family, Emperor Qing gave them some dignity and only restricted their freedom, but did not use any punishment.
Chen Pingping was not so lucky. On the first day he was imprisoned, he was punished three times and was finally thrown into the cell in a bloody state.
Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui couldn't help but shudder when they saw Chen Pingping's miserable state, but they were not worried about becoming like Chen Pingping.
For five days in a row, Emperor Qing did not send anyone to interrogate Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui. Emperor Qing was busy controlling the court, controlling the internal treasury, and also handling the funeral of the second prince Li Chengze, so he really couldn't take care of it.
With the fall of Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui, a large number of princelings and princess factions fell from power, but one person was proud of it.
He is the third prince Li Chengping.
The fourth son of Emperor Qing, the prince fell, the second prince died, and only the eldest princes Li Chengru and Li Chengping were still alive. Li Chengru's mother was originally a slave girl from Dongyi City, and her background was too low.
On the contrary, the third prince Li Chengping's mother-in-law is from the Liu family in Kyoto and comes from a famous family. There is almost no suspense about the position of the crown prince.
In the past two days, the door of the Liu family has been almost trampled by visitors. If the third prince hadn't been young and still raised in the palace, it would have been even more lively.
The second prince, Li Chengze, had just passed his first seven days when Emperor Qing finally came to Tianlao.
When Li Chengqian saw his father, he was not as excited as he imagined, nor did he beg for mercy. Instead, he was calm and composed. Only now did he finally have the bearing of a prince.
"You traitor." Emperor Qing snorted coldly and asked someone to bring a chair and sit outside Li Chengqian's cell. Next door was Li Yunrui's prison.
"Father, you are finally here. I thought I would not be able to see you before I died." Li Chengqian was still wearing the prince's clothes and leaned against the wall. He did not show any courtesy when he saw Emperor Qing.
"Why are you rebelling?" Emperor Qing said coldly: "But you were bewitched by others."
Emperor Qing's words were intended to excuse Li Chengqian. After all, he was his biological son and had been raised by his side for more than twenty years. It was impossible not to have feelings for him.
Li Chengqian seemed to have guessed Emperor Qing's thoughts, but he was not happy at all. Instead, he excused Li Yunrui and said: "It was my intention to rebel, and my aunt was also dragged down by me. Can my father spare her life?"
Emperor Qing smashed the chair in anger, and the iron bars of the cell were pushed open by his domineering energy, and he walked directly in.
"Gui Zi, are you still obsessed with it?" Emperor Qing said, "You think I don't know about the mess between you and Li Yunrui."
Li Chengqian was shocked, and finally there was a hint of panic on his face.
Emperor Qing slapped Li Chengqian and said bitterly: "I have had high hopes for you since childhood. I made you the prince early and took you with me to teach you. For the sake of a woman, you dare to kill your brother and your father, plot to rebel, and waste your great future.
, It’s really disappointing!”
After Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui were imprisoned, Emperor Qing sealed up the Prince's East Palace and the Princess's Mansion, and everyone was arrested and imprisoned.
Then he found out something unexpected.
There was actually an affair between Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui's aunt and nephew. This kind of treachery almost made Emperor Qing furious, and he directly ordered everyone in the East Palace and Princess Mansion to be killed.
"Father, please spare my aunt!" Li Chengqian suddenly cried bitterly while holding Emperor Qing's thigh.
"Useless thing." Emperor Qing kicked Li Chengqian away. If he hadn't already lost a son, he would have cut Li Chengqian into eight pieces.
"I don't want to see you in the future. Our father and son will never see each other again." Emperor Qing closed his eyes, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
Two eunuchs rushed into the prison, dragged Li Chengqian away, and forced him into the clan's mansion, where he would be imprisoned forever until the day he died.
"Father, please spare my aunt!" Li Chengqian was still stubborn in the end and begged for Li Yunrui's mercy.
Emperor Qing turned around and came to Li Yunrui's cell again, looking at the vicious woman coldly.
"Brother Emperor, why are you looking at your sister like this! It's as if you want to eat her." Li Yunrui didn't panic at all and was still showing off his coquettishness.
"Li Yunrui, what are you going to do?" Emperor Qing slapped Li Yunrui on the face. Although it was useless, it still made Li Yunrui's face swell.
Li Yunrui covered his cheek and suddenly laughed.
"Haha, brother, this is the first time you hit me. Do you still remember? In Prince Cheng's Mansion, you loved me the most."
Emperor Qing frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Is this how you repay my love?"
Li Yunrui laughed and said: "In the past few years, I have always wanted to go back to my childhood. At that time, you and Fan Jian played with me all day long, doted on me, and loved me. But until that woman appeared, everything changed
.”
"Shut up." Emperor Qing said angrily.
Li Yunrui said nonchalantly: "What's so good about that woman Ye Qingmei that so many men can't forget her?"
"I told you to shut up." Emperor Qing slapped Li Yunrui again, and this time Li Yunrui spit out two teeth.
Li Yunrui looked at Emperor Qing angrily and said, "Brother, you have changed since Ye Qingmei appeared. You only have eyes for her and no outsiders. You even put my love under your feet and stepped on it again and again."
"What did you say?" Emperor Qing's eyes widened and he took a few steps back.
Li Yunrui rolled his eyes at Emperor Qing and said, "Brother, you are still pretending to be confused with me. Don't think that I don't know. You already knew that I like you."
Emperor Qing's face was gloomy and scary, and he said angrily: "You are my sister!"
"I am the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, and I have no blood relationship with you." Li Yunrui argued.
"No, you don't understand." Emperor Qing struggled.
"Yes, I don't understand. I don't understand what makes me worse than Ye Qingmei?" Li Yunrui said unwillingly: "What she, Ye Qingmei, can do, I, Li Yunrui, can do the same. Why don't you love me?"
Emperor Qing was so unhappy that he really wanted to slap Li Yunrui to death.
"Hahaha!" Chen Pingping's crazy laughter came from the cell opposite.
"Eldest Princess! Eldest Princess! If you can't get Li Yunlong's love, you go and seduce his son. You are really a crazy bitch!" Chen Pingping said with a crazy laugh while lying on the ground.
Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping bitterly and shouted: "Don't laugh, I order you not to laugh!"
"Li Yunlong, do you think you can still order me now?" Chen Pingping's face was covered in blood at this time, but her expression was surprisingly indulgent.
"Li Yunrui, don't you want to know why Li Yunlong refuses to love you? I'll tell you!" Chen Pingping smiled wildly:
"You and Li Yunlong are brothers and sisters. Of course he can't love you."
"Nonsense." Li Yunrui yelled strangely: "I am the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother."
Emperor Qing's expression changed and he shouted to Chen Pingping: "Shut up, I tell you to shut up."
Chen Pingping didn't listen to Emperor Qing's words at all and continued: "Back then, the late Emperor fell in love with a tea-picking girl among the people, and she had a dark knot. The Queen Mother took you back to raise you as her daughter for the sake of the palace's face."
Li Yunrui, you are Li Yunlong’s biological sister, and you are also seducing your own nephew!”
Emperor Qing shouted angrily: "Chen Pingping, you are seeking death."
Boom.
Emperor Qing smashed the prison door into pieces with one palm, as if he really wanted to kill Chen Pingping.
"Haha, Li Yunlong, you don't dare to kill me." Chen Pingping closed her eyes and said shockingly.
Emperor Qing's palm stopped when it was three inches away from Chen Pingping's head.
"Hehe." Chen Pingping said happily: "As expected, you already know that Li Chengru and Li Chengping have been poisoned by my chronic poison. Only I, Chen Pingping, have the antidote in the world."
"Hand over the antidote." Emperor Qing pulled Chen Pingping up and said angrily.
Chen Pingping said proudly: "I just want you, Li Yunlong, to cut off your descendants, so how can I give you the antidote?"
