Chapter 974 It’s Too Late to Regret
Concubine Lin cried and crawled to the emperor's feet again, "Your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with Prince Jin."
"My concubine and Prince Jin were framed."
"Yes, it was the Queen and the Prince. They framed us mother and son."
The emperor sneered, "Prince?"
"The Prince is now repairing the imperial mausoleum. He is not in the palace. How can he frame you?"
"What benefit can he get by framing you and Prince Jin?"
"But you have always wanted Yu'er's position as the prince. Now you are trying to curse me and the prince to death so that Prince Jin can take the throne, right?"
"Mrs. Lin, don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts!"
Concubine Lin had completely understood it in her heart at this time.
This must be the revenge of the Prince against them mother and son after she had someone spread the rumor last time.
But she couldn't say it out loud, because that would only make her more guilty.
Just as the eunuch was about to drag Concubine Lin out, the eunuch outside stood by the door and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyiwei wants to see you."
The emperor didn't care about Concubine Lin anymore, and said sullenly, "Let him in!"
Soon, the commander of the Jinyiwei entered the hall and presented a package first.
The emperor motioned the eunuch to open it, and saw puppets, shrines, incense burners, statues, etc.
The emperor said sullenly, "Go ahead."
The commander said in a deep voice, "I led people to search the house of the King of Jin and found a dark room."
"There is a shrine inside, and this is enshrined on the shrine--" He pointed to the statue on the ground.
"Two puppets were placed under the shrine."
The emperor looked at the two puppets with a sullen face. The fabric, size, and handwriting of the puppets were exactly the same as those found in Concubine Lin's palace.
The emperor sneered, and Lin Yue'er kept saying that she was wronged.
The palace was searched by the imperial guards, and the Jinwang Mansion was searched by the commander of the Jinyiwei himself. The leader of the imperial guards was his personal guard who had always followed him.
The commander of the Jinyiwei had been with him for a long time. He had been in charge of intelligence in the past and was loyal to him. He would never frame the Jinwang mother and son.
There was a dark room and a shrine. Even if they were framing, they couldn't have set up a dark room. It can be seen that the nightmare town was true.
Concubine Lin, who was next to her, had not been dragged away yet. When she heard the commander's words, she seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.
It was over, all over.
Not only was she finished, but her son was also finished.
The emperor said coldly, "Where is the King of Jin?"
The commander knelt on the ground, "The King of Jin is still in the mansion, and I have asked someone to take care of him."
The emperor stared at the things on the ground and said slowly, "Take the King of Jin to the Jinyiwei prison and wait for punishment."
Concubine Lin screamed, "Your Majesty, please spare Xuan'er's life."
"Xuan'er has always been honest and loyal. He knows nothing. He was framed. Your Majesty, I beg you to spare Xuan'er."
"Your Majesty, think about how happy you were when Xuan'er was born. At that time, your Majesty promised me that he would pass the throne to Xuan'er in the future."
Concubine Lin kowtowed desperately on the ground, "Your Majesty, I don't want it anymore. I don't want anything. I just ask your Majesty to let us mother and son go. We are willing to be demoted to commoners and live a peaceful life from now on."
She regretted it very much now. She wanted Xiao Xuan to be a prince in the past. Now Xiao Xuan is already a prince, but she is unwilling to let him be the emperor.
She was wrong, she was really wrong. She shouldn't have provoked Xiao Yu. She only wanted Xiao Yu to repair the imperial mausoleum, but Xiao Yu killed them mother and son.
They were still alive after all these years, which showed that Xiao Yu showed mercy.
