Chapter 14 Imperial Edict

When the entire palace, and even the entire capital city of Great Zhou Dynasty, became an uproar because of the fact that the emperor's thirteenth son was poisoned.

Su Leng, the rightful master, seems to be extra leisurely these days.

The Prince's Pavilion was originally intended for princes who lived in the palace and did not have their own mansion, but now only Su Ling lives there.

This is only because either the other princes are still young and still living with their mothers and concubines, or they have reached the age of marriage, married a wife, been awarded the throne by the old emperor, and have their own mansion.

Only Su Ling was disgusted by the old emperor because of his predecessor Zhou Mingyi's scandalous scandal of wanting to marry a brothel girl, so he has not been married yet, nor has he been granted a royal palace.

However, the Prince's Pavilion without other princes became his only residence.

This is the fifth day after being "poisoned".

At noon, with the support of his personal maid Xiaodie, he walked out of the room. While doing "rehabilitation training", he also took the opportunity to bask in the sun.

"Your Highness Thirteenth, you can definitely do it!"

Xiaodie, who was supporting Su Ling, encouraged Su Ling, who was "trembling" when he walked.

Since being "poisoned", Su Leng has appeared to be listless and coughing from time to time.

At the same time, he also insisted on following the "doctor's advice" of Taiyuan Hospital every day. At noon every day, when the sun was strong, he would let his maid Xiaodie help him out to bask in the sun.

Naturally, this was done to put on a show, for the guards patrolling this area and the maids and eunuchs from other palaces who "occasionally" passed by and glanced into the courtyard to find out whether he was seriously ill.

If necessary, these people can also provide him with proof of alibi.

However, he really hasn't gone anywhere these days and spends most of his time lying in bed.

Most people may not be able to bear this kind of thing, but for Su Ling, who has been in a vegetative state for more than a year, it is simply not childish.

Of course, this is what outsiders, including Xiaodie, the personal maid, see.

But in fact, Su Leng has been secretly developing chess pieces these past few days to guide Song Renfeng, the number one investigative expert in the Great Zhou Dynasty, to follow the results he wants step by step, and lead the case to the Eighth Prince Zhou Ming

On the head.

Although his status in the palace is not high, it is compared to other princes.

For other people in the palace, such as officials, guards, eunuchs, maids, etc., his status as a prince is a symbol of absolute power and represents imperial power!

With such an identity, coupled with the ability of [self-omniscient] to spy on other people's life experience information, it is not easy for Su Leng to develop people into his own chess pieces.

First, he exposed the forbidden things the other party had done in the palace and threatened him with evidence, and then added the rhetoric of "he will be rewarded generously when he ascends the throne in the future." No one could withstand it.

These days, Su Ling has developed a captain of guards and many guards to patrol the area, as well as some eunuchs and maids from other palaces to help him with his affairs.

These people didn't know each other existed, and they all thought they were Su Ling's confidants.

Su Leng secretly drove these people, and followed his instructions to do a series of things that seemed far-fetched, very sparse and ordinary, but in fact they left Song Renfeng with a series of witnesses and physical evidence clues.

Using the clues left by these things, he guided Song Renfeng step by step and followed his arrangements to find out what the sources of "Ganqing Poison" were in the capital recently, where they were flowing, and finally where they were.

On top of the Eighth Prince’s Mansion and Zhou Mingcheng!

Although Song Renfeng was also a smart person, Su Leng relied on his [self-omniscient] ability to directly "deduce" the results, and then arranged for these people to leave clues a few days in advance.

There is no surveillance in this era, so no matter how smart Song Renfeng is, no matter how doubtful he is about the smoothness of this investigation, it will be difficult to find the source and trace Su Ling.

Because, that was the truth of the matter, but it was just too smooth.

Song Renfeng could feel an invisible hand controlling everything, which was considered very smart.

He is indeed right.

Su Ling is this invisible hand!

Speaking of which, it was thanks to this player named "Li Wenfeng" that he used the poison of this world.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to use this to deal with the other party.

At that time, he can only repeat his old tricks and create "accidents" to solve the opponent's problem.

But that would be too much trouble.

The amount of life information and calculations to be received is too huge, not to mention it is very time-consuming.

Su Leng didn't want to use this method when there were other ways.

"Now this ending is easy."

Under the sun, Su Leng practiced walking hobblingly with Xiaodie's support and encouragement, basking in the sun and waiting quietly.

After a while, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, a eunuch's sharp shout came before anyone arrived: "The imperial edict has arrived! The Thirteenth Prince Zhou Mingyi accepts the edict!"

"His Royal Highness Ten...Thirteenth, the imperial decree...the imperial decree is here!"

Xiaodie suddenly stuttered nervously.

Although Xiaodie is just a maid, she also understands the rules of the palace. At the same time, she also knows that the current emperor has ordered the Zhou Dynasty's number one investigating expert, Lord Song Renfeng, to thoroughly investigate the case of the thirteenth prince being poisoned.

Because after Song Renfeng took over the case, the first person he came to was her, followed by Su Ling, who was the "victim".

But other than that, she didn't know anything.

After Song Renfeng asked her some questions, he never came to see her again.

She knew nothing about the progress of the investigation or the final truth.

And when the imperial edict arrives, it means that the matter has a result.

But she seemed particularly nervous because she didn't know what the final result would be.

"Xiaodie, don't be nervous. Since you are innocent, there is no need to worry."

Su Leng smiled and comforted: "I believe Master Song will definitely restore your innocence. Okay, help me over to receive the order."

"……good."

Despite Su Ling's relief, Xiaodie was still very nervous.

However, she still helped the sick Su Ling as she was told and walked outside the hospital.

When the two of them walked outside the courtyard, they saw Zhang Hai, the eunuch in charge beside the old emperor, holding the imperial edict in both hands, waiting for Su Leng.

After seeing Su Leng come out, the great eunuch immediately said: "The Thirteenth Prince is in ill health. When the old slave came, His Majesty had specifically told him not to kneel down, but to stand and receive the order~"

"Ahem, thank you for your consideration, Father."

Su Leng coughed twice at the right time and said thanks.

Later, with the support of Xiaodie, he listened to Zhang Hai and Eunuch Zhang read out the imperial edict: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says..."

After reciting the divine grace, we finally came to the final resolution of this matter at the end:

"...The eighth prince Zhou Mingcheng was so obsessed that he used the poison 'Ganqing' to kill his brothers and kill each other. This was a crime of gross rebellion and rebellion against the teachings of our ancestors! Logically speaking, he should be sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others! But considering his first offense, he sincerely repented.

, the thirteenth prince Zhou Mingyi is not in danger, he is banished to the clan's residence for three years, and is demoted from the throne! In addition, he is fined with 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver, which will be used for the thirteenth prince's future health care.

It’s useful, admire this!”

After reading the imperial edict, the fat and white Eunuch Zhang looked at Su Ling and said with a sharp voice and a calm expression: "Your Highness, Thirteenth, please accept the edict."

Although not long ago, when the old emperor asked someone to write this imperial edict, Su Leng knew the result through the feedback of [self-omniscient].

But after listening to the reading, Su Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected of the most disliked concubine prince, he was poisoned and murdered by his brothers. When the factual evidence was clear, the punishment of the other party was so light. The difficulty of this game is really not that big!

If the target of the murder was the prince, he would probably be "setting an example to others", right?

Of course, sighing as a sigh, Su Leng showed his face and walked up to Eunuch Zhang "tremblingly", received the imperial edict, and said thank you at the same time.

This result is actually the same.

The clan's residence is in the palace, and the total number of people in the palace is not that large. As long as the other party enters the palace, the outcome will be no different for him.

However, the old emperor's attitude towards him...

"Old guy, you asked for this."

Su Leng's previous idea was completely confirmed.
