Chapter 477: Nonsense
Shen Li's face was cold, with a solemn look on his face and a disgust for the Seventh Prince, who was involved in this dynasty's conspiracy.
This was the first time the seventh prince saw Shen Li after being imprisoned.
To be precise, this was the first time he met someone other than the waiter who delivered the meal.
Since being imprisoned, he has not accepted any questioning or torture. Apart from eating and sleeping, he knows nothing about the outside world.
This kind of house arrest with no knowledge of the outside world made him extremely frightened and uneasy.
Now, what does Shen Li mean by suddenly saying this? What does it mean that he came suddenly?
The seventh prince looked at Shen Li's expression and wildly guessed Shen Li's intentions.
Shen Li said King Ping.
In other words, Prince Ping is here.
Now that Uncle Wang is here, why hasn't he been let out yet?
Is Uncle Wang really here?
The Seventh Prince's heart was beating like thunder, and he tried his best to calm himself down, trying to understand the purpose of this shadow leader.
After Shen Li finished speaking, there was no reply from the Seventh Prince for a moment. He raised his eyelids and moved his eyes from the book in his hand to the Seventh Prince. He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if asking.
"I need to verify. If what Prince Ping said is true, then we must ask your court to hold Zhou Yi accountable for this incident."
The seventh prince licked his chapped lips.
Zhou Yi.
Was it really Uncle Wang who told Zhou Yi?
How can this be!
Uncle Wang and Zhou Yi didn't always have a good relationship, so why did Uncle Wang push Zhou Yi out so well?
Shen Li's eyes were calm, without any emotion. As if he had understood the seventh prince's doubts, he said calmly: "The jade pendant you gave to Zhou Huaishan was stolen by Zhou Yi."
The Seventh Prince felt as if his brain was going to explode.
His eyes trembled, and his breath became short for a moment.
That's right.
The night he packed his bags, Zhou Yi did go to see him and told him many things.
Zhou Yi has always taken care of him, like a gentle and reliable older brother.
At that time, it was Zhou Yi who suggested to him to give Princess Minghe a small gift. After all, he was taking advantage of her. A man should have a manly demeanor, and the two dynasties did not really want to be at odds with each other.
At that time, it was Zhou Yi who said that he would give a jade pendant.
Zhou Yi also helped him choose the jade pendant.
but
but!
Why did Zhou Yi give up his jade pendant!
No!
It can’t be Zhou Yi!
Memories and emotions burst out, and the seventh prince bit his lower lip, maybe with too much force. The color of the bitten lip suddenly lost its color. When he let go, there were teeth marks there.
Shen Li collected these in his eyes without leaving any trace.
He straightened up, closed the book in his hand that was originally used to record the confession, and stood up, "Looking at His Highness's reaction, what Prince Ping said should be correct.
Your Highness is innocent and will inevitably make mistakes if he is taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions.
Although this wrongdoing is unpardonable, His Highness is not to blame.
Don't worry, Your Highness, I will send you to the post house to meet Prince Ping soon. "
The Seventh Prince's breath trembled, and he clenched his fists instinctively, "What do you want!"
Shen Li raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Of course, let the person responsible repay! The lightest punishment is for Zhou Yi to be executed."
The seventh prince's face suddenly turned pale. He stood up and stared at Shen Li with scarlet eyes.
Shen Li raised his eyebrows, the meaning on his face was obvious: Is there a problem?
The seventh prince opened his mouth, then flopped back down.
Shen Li didn't look at him again and left. The door of the hall was closed again. Shen Li ordered the servant outside the hall, "Send some good food to the Seventh Prince! He has lost weight in the past few days!"
Regarding Zhou Yi's official positions in Nanzhao, in fact, it is enough to interrogate the envoys who were imprisoned in the shadow.
However, this makes no sense.
There was only one thing he needed to be sure of, and that was whether the jade pendant was actually Zhou Yi's.
Now it's confirmed.
Zhou also did it on purpose.
In other words, even if Gu Dafei didn't come to tell the truth, they and Zhou Yi would probably have a cooperation soon.
Otherwise, Zhou Yi would not reveal a jade pendant for no reason.
Especially such a jade pendant.
After getting the information he wanted, Shen Li returned to the imperial study room again, but Prince Ping had already left.
The emperor sat behind the desk with an ugly expression, and his tightened eyebrows showed the emperor's unhappy mood at the moment.
When Shen Li entered, the emperor's expression softened slightly, and he waved his hand to avoid his salute, "Why are you here again?"
Shen Li reported Zhou Yi's incident.
After receiving this news, the emperor didn't care to get angry. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth for a long time and forgot to close it.
If the chamberlain were here, he would definitely give him a gentle push from behind.
It's a pity that the young apprentice of the chamberlain didn't dare.
Seeing the emperor staring at Shen Li with his mouth open, he was trembling silently in his heart: He won't drool!
He only focused on the image of a terrifying emperor and completely ignored what earth-shattering words Shen Li said.
Just when the saliva was about to fall, the emperor came back to his senses, slapped the case, stood up, and leaned forward with a trembling breath, "Are you telling the truth?"
"There is no real evidence, it's all speculation, but it's 90% possible."
The emperor walked around the table and kept pacing, "Ninety percent, ninety percent! Don't say it's ninety percent, even 10%. I'm like this. You should send someone over there to contact him immediately."
Shen Li took the order.
The emperor rubbed his hands and said, "With him, it will be much easier for us. No, no, once the war starts, if his side is exposed, then he will be a living target! No, we can't contact him, no."
The emperor, who was always ruthless and fierce, and who killed his own son without blinking an eyelid, was entangled.
The eunuch standing on the side trembled and shook the emperor for the twelfth time. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better for me to avoid suspicion!"
The emperor turned his head to look at him, and then realized that he was still here. He frowned, "Why are you here?"
The eunuch.
Ah?
"I have been here all the time."
Just now, Lord Shen came in and reported, and the slave didn't have time to avoid it.
After that, no one asked the slave to avoid it.
The slave also can't escape underground.
If I could, I wouldn't bother you two to notice me!
The eunuch licked his lips and said nervously: "Your Majesty."
Shen Li waved his hand and interrupted him, "Your master is old, and you will take over your master's job in the future. There are many more confidential things than this. Listen."
The eunuch's eyes turned red.
He knelt down, "I swear to heaven, I will never leak a single word, otherwise I will be struck by lightning. I will be as loyal as my master."
Shen Li shook his head, "That's not necessary. After all, I do need you to leak it."
Little eunuch.
Not to mention that the little eunuch didn't react, even the emperor didn't keep up with Shen Li's thinking.
Shen Li said to the little eunuch: "There is a man named Xiao Wuzi at the posthouse. He is your brother, right?"
The little eunuch nodded in confusion, "Yes."
Shen Li said: "You just stay in this horrified state now, go find Xiao Wuzi immediately, and then find a place where people can eavesdrop, and tell Xiao Wuzi that Rongyang Hou is still alive."
Little eunuch.
Fuck!
Is this even scarier than before?
It's dark outside now!
You want me to tell such nonsense that a person who has been dead for 20 years is still alive in the middle of the night? !
