Hearing Pei Yao speak, the third princess raised her head, her eyes became sharp, and she came closer step by step.

"As a princess, I shouldn't say anything about these matters, but these matters are state affairs and family matters, so I have to say something. Now my mother is grounded, and the emperor's brother is accused of murdering the prince, and he is also grounded.

The Ministry of Punishment has conducted an investigation, but the results have not yet been released, and yet my father suddenly fell ill and passed out. This is too much of a coincidence."

Walking in front of and behind Pei Yao, he turned his gaze to the royal family members and ministers of the court standing not far away.

"I dare to ask you, if murdering the prince is a serious crime, then murdering the emperor is a huge crime!"

When these words came out, everyone present immediately became uproar.

Concubine Chen frowned, "Third princess, don't lie. The emperor's fainting was an accident. He will naturally wake up after being treated by the imperial doctor. If the princess has anything to say, I will tell the emperor."

The Queen is not here, but as a noble concubine, Concubine Chen still has weight at the moment.

However, this weight only exists in the hearts of other people. As for the third princess, as a direct princess, she does not take Concubine Chen seriously at all.

So she just glanced sideways at Concubine Chen and continued.

"I am not lying, but there is evidence. My father has been taking the Huanyan Pill, and the dragon body is healthy. But since King Ming was banned, the two Taoist priests in the palace made another Royal Gold Pill and gave it to them, calling it this

The elixir is better than the previous Huanyan elixir, but I happened to overhear these two Taoist priests saying that as long as they offer this elixir to their father, they will gain glory and wealth. I dare to ask the prince, what does this mean?"

She pressed her to ask, but Pei Yao still looked calm.

"Gu has never believed in Taoist ghosts and gods, but only respected his ancestors. After all, these two Taoist priests were recommended by Prince Ming to the emperor's uncle. Now that the three princesses associate them with Gu, it is too forced."

"Whether I have slandered the prince or not, you will know after asking the imperial doctor."

The third princess raised her pointed chin, looking confident.

He turned around and looked at the imperial doctor.

"What exactly caused my father's qi and blood stasis?"

"Back to princess, yes yes."

The imperial doctor hesitated to speak. After looking at Pei Yao, he kowtowed.

"It should be caused by the imperial elixir. I found a drug in this elixir that can damage the dragon's body. This drug will make people excited when they first start taking it, so it can show the illusion of strengthening the body. But as long as it is taken for more than three days,

After four days, it will cause blood stasis, leading to coma and even paralysis of limbs!"

After hearing what the imperial doctor said, some of the concubines who were on the queen's side immediately spoke up.

"It turned out to be caused by that pill. Why don't we hurry up and arrest those two demons for interrogation!"

Some ministers present who supported King Ming also immediately seized the opportunity and echoed.

Pei Yao's face turned grim, and he glanced at the three princesses, seeming to have murderous intent.

Having never been threatened by such a look, the third princess still felt a little bit in her heart, but thinking of the instructions from her mother and her brother, she clenched her fists again and straightened her back.

Just hold on a little longer and it'll be over soon.

"Come here, bring those two Taoist priests for interrogation!" Pei Yao shouted.

Hong Zheng immediately greeted the people and left quickly.

At this time, Emperor Chengjing was in a coma, and the three princesses in the palace were confronting Pei Yao, even going so far as to use pills to murder the emperor. The atmosphere was depressing for a while, and no one dared to speak out rashly.

Not long after, the two veterans were escorted over.

The third princess seemed impatient, and immediately questioned the person sharply when she saw him.

"Tell me, you were tampering with the elixir given to my father. Who ordered you to do it?"

"It's an injustice, princess. How could a poor Taoist offer poisonous elixirs to the emperor? This is an injustice."

"Stop complaining!" The third princess interrupted them directly, her beautiful eyes gleaming, "If you refuse to tell the truth, today is not only your death day, but also the hundreds of people in your entire Taoist temple will be spared.

Think it over for me!"

At this moment, looking at the third princess interrogating the priest, she was smart enough to sense that something was wrong.

But I couldn't tell what was wrong, and I didn't dare to intervene randomly, so I could only hold back my temper and watch.

Unexpectedly, the two old Taoists seemed to be frightened and said that it was the prince who ordered them.

Many people present were so shocked that they stepped back involuntarily, as if they were afraid of getting involved in the whirlpool of this political struggle.

But the third princess only looked at the guard at the door and shouted loudly.

"You have all heard that the prince instigated two demons to murder the emperor. Why don't you catch him immediately!"

"Who dares!"

Pei Yao also shouted coldly, and the coldness in his eyes made people afraid to step forward.

The third princess pursed her lips and confronted him.

"The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what else do you want to argue with. You said earlier that my brother was plotting to kill you. I'm afraid it was a malicious frame-up. It was just to take the opportunity to trap my brother and take advantage of the fact that my mother was grounded, so you showed your wolfish ambitions."

, intending to murder my father and seize the throne!"

"Joke!" Lu Chuan couldn't help but refute in the crowd, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, and inheriting the throne is in compliance with the will of God and the rules of the ancestors, and it is also the will of the late emperor, so there is no need to do anything extra!"

And when he finished speaking and before the third princess could refute, Queen Li's voice came from the door of the hall.

"The Crown Prince framed Prince Ming and murdered the Emperor. The evidence is conclusive. You still dare to defend him? Imperial Forest Army, why don't you let me quickly capture these traitors!"

As Queen Li's voice came, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the door.

In the meantime, Empress Li was dressed in a phoenix robe, striding in with an imposing manner, showing no signs of being restrained.

And the imperial guards listened to her orders seriously, went straight into the palace, and surrounded Pei Yao.

Looking at this scene, a smile appeared on Pei Yao's lips, as if he had expected it to be like this.

"Why, the Queen wants to initiate a palace coup and conspire to usurp the throne, but she can't succeed!"

"The prince is plotting to kill the emperor. As the queen of the middle palace, I naturally have the responsibility to clear the emperor's side and eliminate the traitors!"

Empress Li and the three princesses stood side by side, with the same pride on their faces.

When Pei Yao looked at the surrounding imperial guards, not only was he not afraid, but the smile on his face became even brighter.

After looking around, he took out three envelopes from his arms and held them up.

"It just so happened that I came here today to help the Qing emperor to eliminate the traitors and the guilty minister Ming Wang Pei Zecheng. He failed in his attempt to kill me, but he also wanted to be rebellious. He secretly contacted the queen, poisoned the emperor with elixirs, framed the blame on me, and attempted to usurp the throne.

, these three secret letters are all evidence!"

Seeing what Pei Yao was holding, Queen Li's expression inevitably changed.

But when she thought that she had the secret letter in her hands, she felt that Pei Yao was deceiving her.

What's more, the matter has come to this, no matter what, killing Pei Yao is the right thing to do.

So Queen Li immediately sneered.

"Even when you are about to die, you still want to quibble and frame others. Come on, help me get the crown prince!"

After speaking, he raised his hand high in the air, making a commanding gesture to move forward.

And at this moment, the crisp sound of a sharp blade cutting through the sky was suddenly heard, followed closely by Empress Li's sudden cry of pain.

In the blink of an eye, a black-feathered arrow came from outside the palace and shot through Queen Li's palm.

The pain made Empress Li's face distort, and she couldn't care less about the pain at the moment. She immediately turned around and looked outside the palace, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
