Chapter 288 The Fall of the Sixth Prince

The secret guard soon arrived at Duke Shen's mansion. According to the emperor's instructions, he did not force his way in, but went to visit with an imperial edict.

Hanshuang Hanqing could detect the bad intentions of people and stared at him with great vigilance.

However, the secret guard didn't care. He said expressionlessly: "Miss Shen, Your Majesty has decided to meet you. Please ask Miss Shen to accompany your subordinates alone and not tell anyone."

Hearing this, Han Shuang and Han Qing had sharp eyes and stood directly in front of Shen Qingyun.

If this secret guard wants to take Shen Qingyun away by force, they will fight him!

Shen Qingyun signaled the two of them not to be impulsive, then took the imperial edict and asked calmly: "This person is Prince Li, right? What if I don't want to go with you?"

The secret guard lowered his head slightly. Although his posture was not strong, his voice was a bit colder: "Then please make a decision after Miss Shen reads the imperial edict. The emperor has ordered that if Miss Shen is not willing to go with me, then I will Return to the palace with the imperial edict and send the Grand Master to announce the edict."

Shen Qingyun's heart sank, and her hand holding the imperial edict tightened unconsciously.

This is threatening her.

There is still room for sending secret guards, but if the father-in-law is sent to announce the summons, everyone will definitely know about it. I believe that once the decree from above is announced, nothing good will happen to her.

Shen Qingyun maintained her composure on her face and slowly opened the imperial edict. When she saw the contents of the edict clearly, her eyes were no longer calm, but filled with hatred.

She slowly raised her eyes, her eyes were like a deep pool, and her expression was unclear: "I know, I will let you go. But if I can't come back safely soon, I won't be able to hide it from the prince."

The secret guard saluted: "Don't worry, Miss Shen. The Emperor has given instructions that as long as she cooperates, my subordinates will be responsible for sending her back soon and will not delay her for too long."

Hanshuang frowned, couldn't help but pull Shen Qingyun's sleeve, and said anxiously: "Miss, this person is untrustworthy. It's too unsafe to go with him."

Shen Qingyun shook his head, patted her arm, and followed the secret guard into an inconspicuous carriage.

The imperial edict clearly stated that Shen Qingyun would be canonized as Concubine Yun, and she would enter the palace to serve her immediately. Once the emperor died on a certain day, she would be buried with him.

She could only obey the arrangement and enter the palace once.

At the same time, in the corner of the palace, Si Moli and Si Mingxuan had collided head-on.

Seeing King Li, Si Mingxuan's expression froze at first, and then his expression turned extremely ugly. Didn't he say that King Li was dining with the emperor? Why would he appear here again?

However, I felt relieved when I thought that Prince Li had always been cold-hearted and probably didn't have dinner with the emperor at all.

Although he was a little uneasy in his heart, there was gradually a look of uncontrollable pride on his face: "Uncle, what a coincidence, but there is an emergency now. We, uncle and nephew, will definitely sit down together and have a chat someday."

With that said, he was about to leave behind Si Moli.

Si Moli stretched out his hand to stop him: "I came to see you specially. The emperor was diagnosed with poisoning by the imperial doctor. According to the confession of the person who poisoned him, it was your sixth prince Si Ming who was behind all this. Xuan. So, there is no need to enter the palace, just come with me to Dali Temple."

After hearing this, Si Mingxuan did not panic at all.

"Uncle Emperor, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. I entered the palace just after getting the news that my father is critically ill. Please get out of the way."

Seeing that Si Moli's expression remained unchanged, he smiled sarcastically: "Why, uncle, do you really want to put the blame on me? Your uncle is stopping me like this and not letting me visit my father. This... It’s hard not to doubt the emperor’s intentions. Is the emperor afraid of something?”

After saying that, he stared at Si Moli's face closely, wanting to see Si Moli's nervous and flustered look.

But Si Moli just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at pork on a chopping board.

Si Mingxuan instinctively wanted to retreat, but then a greater anger burned in his heart. It had always been like this. His father looked down on him, and King Li also looked down on him. Now he was about to become the final winner.

Why should we continue to endure it!

He made a gesture.

The guards following Si Mingxuan immediately took a step forward. The leader of the guards put his hand on the sword at his waist. Until the end, he did not want to directly confront Prince Li, so he gave a warning in advance: "Your Majesty,

Please let me go."

So what if Si Moli finds evidence?

The manpower between the government and the public has been cleared for a long time. As long as the emperor dies, there will be panic and chaos in Kyoto. He is the logical successor and will be supported as emperor.

When the time comes, he will have plenty of opportunities to punish King Li.

Even, the emperor's death can be blamed on him.

Therefore, when entering the palace, Si Mingxuan had already given instructions. If he was really blocked by King Li, he would be killed on the spot without mercy.

Seeing this, Si Moli raised his head and struck at the leader of the guards. In an instant, he pulled out his sword and wiped his throat with the sword.

The guard leader's eyes widened in horror, and he covered his neck in panic. Blood spurted out from between his fingers, and his throat made a gurgling sound like drowning. Then he fell to the ground with a look of resignation.

All this happened so fast that everyone behind him took a few steps back and stared at King Li uneasily.

"You!" Half of Si Mingxuan's face was splattered with blood. He was stunned for a moment and wanted to fight back, but was knocked unconscious by a slap in the face.

The two leaders were killed and the other injured in a matter of seconds, and the people following them did not dare to resist at all.

At this time, a small team of people hurried over. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were not surprised. They quickly cleaned up the bodies and took Si Mingxuan and everyone away.

The movement of this incident was very small, and people outside could not notice the abnormality at all, and were still planning the next step.

But in just half a day, Si Moli followed the clues and got the list of Si Mingxuan's personnel in the government and the public. He immediately sent out the imperial guards to control the residences of the key personnel.

These people were originally confident of winning, but now things have taken a sudden turn and they are unable to respond in time, let alone deliver news to each other.

Under Si Moli's arrangement, a large amount of evidence was confiscated, and many officials were arrested on the spot and imprisoned.

Lin Xueying was still describing the flowers on her forehead leisurely, and the next second she saw the maid running in in a panic: "Princess, it's not good, there are many guards coming in, saying... they are here to conduct a thorough investigation.

The case of His Highness Sixth Prince’s murder of the Emperor.”

"What did you say!" Lin Xueying screamed, the makeup pen in her hand fell to her lap, and the light purple skirt was immediately dyed with a touch of light red.

She ran out of the room and saw the guards wearing silver-white armor outside. Her legs went weak and she could barely hold on to the door frame.

"Princess! Princess, are you okay?" The maid hurriedly supported her arm, her voice choked with sobs.
