Chapter 327: Transfer the misfortune

The accompanying officials rushed to express their views on the waist tag.

“Your Majesty, prince is dying struggling!”

“Yes, your Majesty, the prince can be punished for his thought.”

“Your Majesty, this is a great sin against heaven, unforgivable ...”

One by one, they all claimed to be denouncing the prince.

The emperor’s anger grew stronger and stronger, and his face was as dark as ink.

“Drive back to the palace immediately and I will interrogate the prince overnight.” The emperor said angrily.

“Report to the Emperor.” Su Yi’s voice sounded like pearls falling to the ground.

“Your Majesty, let me say a word.” Su Yi looked grave and calm.

The emperor said with dignity, “Say it...”

“Report to your Majesty, I think there is something suspicious about it.”

“Keep saying,” the emperor sink a track.

Su yi weighed the waist tag in his hand and said, “Your Majesty, killing the emperor is a big crime against heaven. If it is the order of the prince, will the prince be stupid enough for the assassin to carry the waist tag with him? What if it fails? Wouldn’t it be suicide?”

Emmm ... the emperor took a breath and slowly calmed down.

Zhao Qixuan said: “I only heard that assassin had tattoos with word on their bodies, but I haven’t heard of those with waist tags. There is a great possibility that such heavy waist tags will be left behind in the fight.”

“But the prince can’t get rid of the suspicion. Now that the prince is under house arrest, it is inevitable to hold a grudge against the emperor,” said a minister.

Su Yi said, “What if he was framed? If you killed the prince by mistake, but let the real deviant get away with it, wouldn’t it be his expectation? Now the bodyguard commander has taken people to pursue the assassin, why not wait for a while?”

“It is true that if this behind-the-scenes person is not pulled out, it will be dangerous if he is still close to the people appreciated by the emperor,” Zhao Qixuan echoed.

“I’m not trying to defend someone, but everything is still evidence – based, and I’m bound to find out the real murderer,” Su Yi said.

After the emperor calmed down, his thoughts became clear. After hearing what Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan said, he also felt something suspicious.

“Your Majesty, the assassin came with the determination to die. He would rather kill himself than be captured alive. If the assassin dies and the waist tag cannot prove it, wouldn’t it be a headless case – solving?” Some ministers questioned it.

The emperor’s brows became tighter and tighter, and his heart was deeply tangled.

The prince had the motive to assassinate him, and he had already decided emotionally that the prince did it. But Zhao Qixuan was right. If the person who harbors evil thoughts was still close to him and appreciated him, it would be tantamount to a poisonous snake lurking beside him, and it was possible to drill out and bite him at any time. It made people shudder to think about it.

Think of this, the emperor had an idea in his heart.

“As Su said, this is a big matter. I can’t easily tell who has the heart of rebellion.”

Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan both breathed a sigh of relief. This plan was really dangerous. One was not good and the other was self – defeating.

Concubine Shu was disappointed. There was already evidence but still could not convict the prince. As long as the prince dies, the throne would belong to her son.

Though she was disappointed, but it didn’t mean there was no hope. Concubine Shu looked forward to the good news brought back by the leader of the bodyguard.

The crowd dispersed, and the emperor asked eunuch Wei to take Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan to the partial house to cure the injury.

Fortunately, it only hurt the shoulder, did not touch the aorta, and was not in danger of life, but after all it was shot by a sharp arrow, it was not a minor injury.

The imperial doctor handled Zhao Qixuan’s wound, bandaged it, prescribed some medicine and ordered some precautions before he went to the emperor’s office to reply.

Su Yi looked at Zhao Qixuan’s shoulder strap with gloomy eyes.

Zhao Qixuan smiled and comforted: “It’s all right. I’m rough and thick. It doesn’t matter. Just keep it for a few days.”

Su Yi glanced at the curtain and blamed himself: “It is my martial arts that are loose and I have failed to protect the emperor and you.”

Zhao Qixuan understood: “Oh, we’re businessmen now. We don’t kill people at ordinary times. It’s all right. Who else does it every day? Besides, no one can think of such a thing as assassination. Don’t blame yourself, the emperor didn’t blame you, and I wouldn’t blame you too.”

Su Yi said, “If I know who did it, I won’t spare him.”

Zhao Qixuan smiled: “Okay, at least a few holes should be pierced back.”

Su Yi snorted and frowned. “You’ve shed so much blood. Rest well and don’t talk.”

“Oh, then you’re here with me ...” Zhao Qixuan said pettishly.

The people behind the curtain receded silently.

At dawn, the bodyguard returned and told the emperor something secretly, and the emperor immediately announced that he would drive back to the palace.

Zhao Qixuan also went home to recover from injury.

Ye Jiayao only heard from the dessert house the next afternoon. The prince`s maternal uncle Shu`s residence was surrounded by imperial troops this morning. She didn’t know what was going on.

She also heard that the emperor was going to the temporary dwelling palace for a while, but he hurried back to the palace.

Ye Jiayao knew in her heart that Zhao Qixuan’s action seemed to have taken effect, causing disaster to move eastward. Even if he couldn’t find the real evidence of Shu’s rebellion, the emperor wouild not easily believe Concubine Shu and King Yu with this doubt in his heart.

Just didn’t know what happened at that time. Ye Jiayao wanted to know, but she had to endure and wait for the situation to ferment.

After waiting another day, she heard that the prince was released and returned to the office to reflect. Concubine Shu was banned, and the queen returned to phoenix printing. Although King Yu was not punished, his mother and princess were punished, and his life was also difficult.

Ye Jiayao was overjoyed and went to Yongning marquis house with cakes, only to know Zhao Qixuan was injured.

Mrs. Yongning Duck knew that Ye Jiayao had unusual friendship with her son and took her to say a few words, so she was taken to see Zhao Qixuan.

Zhao Qixuan was leaning on a soft couch and eating apples, crunchy and seemed to have a good appetite.

“I thought you couldn’t get up. I didn’t think you were in good spirits!” Ye Jiayao walked over with mirth.

Zhao Qixuan motioned Little Shao to go out to look at the spot and make sure it was safe before he hummed, “Why? Do you want to see me half dead!”

The prince’s crisis was lifted and Zhao Qixuan was not seriously injured. Everything was going well. Ye Jiayao was in a good mood, but for the sake of caution, Ye Jiayao’s voice was very low. She said with a smile:?How can it be? I’m happy. Here, the pastry in the dessert house to reward you.”

Zhao Qixuan threw away half of the apples he chewed with one hand, went to pick up the food box and opened it to see the full range of cakes inside. He said with a smile: “That`s ok, but it’s not a good reward. Don’t forget, you said you were going to celebrate my day out of business. This time I did my best and bled, and I was trapped at home and couldn’t see Susu.” His smiling face turned sad.

Ye Jiayao endured the laugh: “Then you’ll get the injury well and I’ll never break my word.”

Zhao Qixuan turned to smiling face and happily ate cakes.

“This time Susu and I also earned a lot of rewards for rescue work. However, what I value most is that the emperor asked me to take care of border trade affairs. Susu also received a four – product official rank, which is to hang a name, not to work, and get a salary for nothing.”

“You took the risk and benefited everyone. You did a lot of work this time,” Ye Jiayao said sincerely.

Zhao Qixuan smiled: “To say that the big contributor behind the scenes is Chunyu of your family, he came up with the idea. Little Jing couldn’t find a suitable person to execute it for a while, and I came back with Susu and caught up.”

“Really?” Ye Jiayao had long known that Chunyu would have an arrangement.

“Of course, it was Concubine Shu’s suggestion that the emperor should go to Nanshan Palace. You didn’t know, when the assassination happened, Concubine Shu was scared soft on the ground, and the emperor couldn’t help it. I threw myself at him to block the arrow for the emperor. As a result, the emperor had bad feelings for her, and then we deliberately left the waist tag of the Eastern Palace to let the emperor suspect the prince first and let the assassin hide in the prince`s maternal uncle Shu`s house, and the bodyguard leader saw the assassin go in with his own eyes.

Ye Jiayao’s thought: This tactic of blacking out self before blacking out others was wonderful. It added credibility and could also exonerate the prince and classify him as a victim.

Zhao Qixuan was full of cakes and said vaguely, “If the assassin didn’t caught, this assassination would become a headless case – solving. The emperor can only find some scapegoats to ease the fire, and he can’t kill both sons.”

“Although the emperor still has doubts about the prince, he certainly has more doubts about King Yu now. The next step will gradually weaken King Yu’s power. Hey ... Yaoyao, you have many ideas. Think of a way to drop the stone and pursue it. Now is a good chance!”

Ye Jiayao glared at him: “Don’t ask me such a thing. I only do business and nothing else.”

She didn’t want to let others know that even the assassination idea came from her. However, she felt that it was not a good idea to drop a stone in a well now. The emperor was suspicious of both princes and would certainly keep the balance and let them contain each other. The emperor wouldn’t put the treasure on the prince or King Yu, and it would take time to cultivate another prince.

The fourth prince was mediocre and not capable in all aspects. The sixth prince was heard to be intelligent, but the mother and princess were not high in status, and it was difficult to convince the public. Therefore, it was the emperor’s best policy to maintain the status quo. The prince had been hit this time, his power had been weakened a lot, and he also needed to rebuild his life and interest.

Zhao Qixuan said, “Forget it, I’ll discuss it with Susu later.”

Ye Jiayao smiled angrily and said, “You’d better be at ease to recover your injuries first! Don’t want to see Sue earlier?”

Zhao Qixuan sighed gloomily as he could not swallow some food: “I don’t know what happened to Susu, his father, as long as he stayed at home for three days, he wanted to marry him a wife. His thought of breaking up Yuanyang’s never die!”

Ye Jiayao was amused by him. Yuanyang were a female and a male, ok? It was really strange, Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi, who would be seme? Who would be uke?
