C709 The Abdication of the Auxiliary Duke!
He had disguised himself as Auxiliary Duke to kill Ninth Prince, and was seen by so many people when he was escaping. He had even killed so many guards of the prince's mansion in order to frame Auxiliary Duke.
In fact, the death of Ninth Prince had already been known in the palace. In the palace that specialized in consecrating the life lamps of the members of the royal family, and in the secret chamber of Noble Consort, there was an oil lamp that was extinguished in an instant!
Very quickly, Noble Consort's hoarse cry of grief pierced through the clouds. Before her, Truth Holy Emperor's furious roar had already overturned the Heart Healing Palace.
Because he found out that the soul fragments that he had left in Ninth Prince had been destroyed, and there was no news of it at all. This situation proved that his son was in imminent danger.
Immediately after that, the life lamp was extinguished. How could he not be angry and distressed? In just a few days, his two favorite sons had returned to the Western Paradise. Truth Holy Emperor was truly furious and almost lost his composure and went crazy.
"Someone, investigate for Zhen. Investigate to the end! Where's Wang Ziqi? Ask him to come and see Zhen. Immediately!"
Truth Holy Emperor was roaring crazily. Soon, Noble Consort came as well. She cried so much that it was like a rain of tears. She was so sad that it made Truth Holy Emperor's explosive anger even more unbearable. He just wanted to kill someone.
Ji Chen was summoned by Truth Holy Emperor as soon as he came back. He asked Ji Chen to investigate the case with all his might. After that, Ji Chen led two Left Commander and three Right Commanders to investigate the case. The case this time was too big, and it was worth paying so much attention to.
"What else do you want to investigate? Obviously, it was done by Imperial Consort Shu, that little slut! That unfilial son of his has always been ambitious. He has long disliked our Emperor and has repeatedly wanted to kill him!"
Noble Consort shouted angrily in the Heart Healing Palace," Your Majesty, you don't need to investigate anymore. Just capture that little slut Imperial Consort Shu and interrogate her! This matter is the mastermind behind him and let her father do it! "
"Enough, it is still unknown who the murderer is. Zhen will definitely find out who the mastermind is and take revenge for the Imperial Son. You need to calm down first."
Truth Holy Emperor said with a dark expression. When the Suan Ni Great General saw Ninth Prince's corpse, he knew that the situation wasn't good. Therefore, he immediately told Noble Consort and Holy Emperor what he saw, which was why Noble Consort was sure that the murderer was Imperial Consort Shu.
Ji Chen rushed at full speed. After rushing to the Temple of Universal Truth, he met up with the Suan Ni Great General. He had been investigating the entire way, and he was very serious about it. He didn't miss out on any clues. En, it was those clues that he deliberately left behind.
Two hours later, a group of people used the Golden Silk South Wood Coffin to coffin Ninth Prince's corpse. They then rushed back to the Imperial City with great effort.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Ninth Prince suffered three serious injuries in succession, the last fatal injury on his forehead. In addition, Ninth Prince had been poisoned. According to my investigation, it was a poison unique to the Five Poison Flames!"
Ji Chen said in a serious manner. The Suan Ni General also stood out and told him everything he had experienced in front of him.
"Suan Ni, you have to take responsibility for what you said! Are you sure that's Auxiliary Duke? "Although the Holy Emperor was raging with anger, it was still suppressing its anger and calming itself down.
The Suan Ni general said, "This general can't be sure if that's Auxiliary Duke, but what this general can be sure of is... The murderer's physique is the Jade Flame Five Poison Body, and the weapon he uses is the Jade Flame Five Poison Blade. This general dares to guarantee with his head! "
"It's not just this lowly general. This official's group of cavalry... The poison in the bodies of those guards who were killed by the murderer was exactly the same as the poison in Ninth Prince's body."
Noble Consort cried out in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, do you still need to investigate this? There is only one Five Poison Body in the world, and there is only one Five Poison Flaming Saber. Who else could it be if it wasn't Auxiliary Duke?"
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for this concubine. You must take revenge for your son! The poor Chenqie's parents had died early, and her brother had died on the battlefield a few months ago. Now, even her most beloved son has been assassinated. It's a pity that he is still a child!"
Truth Holy Emperor was troubled by what he said, and his anger was immediately ignited. He couldn't hold himself back any longer. "Let's go to Auxiliary Duke Prefecture!"
Truth Holy Emperor brought Ji Chen, the Suan Ni General, and a large army with him. Immediately, they charged over in a formidable manner. Even Noble Consort, who was enveloped in a bright light, rushed over. She wanted to see the person who killed her own child being punished with her own eyes.
Auxiliary Duke was at home, hehehe. However, the door was smashed into pieces. Truth Holy Emperor rushed over with killing intent, which made Auxiliary Duke very puzzled.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know you came to visit at night and didn't welcome you from afar. Please atone for your crimes." Auxiliary Duke said with a smile. He didn't think there was any flaw in his performance.
However, Truth Holy Emperor did not give him any face. He slapped him and turned him into a windmill. He spun three hundred times on the spot and his teeth flew out.
"Your majesty, why did you hit me?" Auxiliary Duke was confused. He covered his mouth and said.
"Why did I hit you? Old man, don't tell me you don't know your crime?" Truth Holy Emperor was not just a little angry, he was like an angry dragon. "Do you know that four hours ago, my Ninth Prince died?"
"What?" Auxiliary Duke suddenly shouted, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head. "This is impossible! Ninth Prince's body was twice as strong as before, and his strength was profound. How could he die? "
"Why not? He was assassinated by someone, and his bones are still cold!" Truth Holy Emperor roared angrily, "And the person who killed him had the Five Poison Jade Flames Body, and was holding the Five Poison Jade Flames Blade. Who do you think he is?!"
Auxiliary Duke who was kneeling on the ground felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His heart was in turmoil, and he felt wronged. Who did he offend? He was just having a good time at home. Why did he suddenly become the criminal of the assassination of the prince?
Auxiliary Duke's reaction wasn't slow at all. He kowtowed crazily on the ground. "Your Majesty, it really isn't this old official. This old official was wrongly accused! This old official has no reason to kill Ninth Prince. Please let the Holy Emperor investigate clearly!"
"Nonsense. Who said you have no reason?" Noble Consort angrily opened her mouth and said, "You are going to remove the obstacles for your grandson!"
"The crown prince passed away, and the throne of the Eastern Palace was suspended in the air! Does your grandson not want to become the crown prince? Everyone knows that the Emperor doted on my son, and he is the biggest threat to the Fourth to become the Eastern Palace's Crown Prince!"
"So that slut Imperial Consort Shu came to find you and asked you to assassinate my son so that she could remove the obstacles in her son's path! That's right!"
"Of course not. Noble Consort, don't malign this old official! This old official is loyal to His Majesty. His loyalty can be seen by the sun and moon!"
Auxiliary Duke's mind was in chaos right now. Why did it suddenly involve his daughter and grandson? Once the matter is confirmed, then I, Imperial Consort Shu, and Fourth Prince will be in trouble!
Auxiliary Duke tried his best to distinguish. "Your majesty, although this old official wants to seek benefits for his grandson and daughter, this old official will definitely not commit such a heinous crime! Someone must be framing this old official, someone must be framing this old official!"
" Framing? The Suan Ni general, along with several thousand soldiers, saw it. The one who took action was you! "
The Holy Emperor angrily smashed the table beside him. "Old thief, could it be that even the Five Poison Jade Flames Body and the Five Poison Jade Flames Blade were impersonated by someone else?"
"If you can find another person with the same constitution as you, Zhen will think that you are Qingbai! You are really looking for him! You are still quibbling at this point!"
"This is impossible. This official is really wronged." Auxiliary Duke suddenly threw himself in front of Ji Chen with red eyes. "It is this treacherous official, it is this stupid official, it is him, Wang Ziqi. You are setting me up, you dog thief!"
"Your majesty, quickly kill Wang Ziqi. All of this was his scheme. It was him who framed this old official!"
"Damn, old rabbit, do you want to bite someone? Don't tell me you are sick," Ji Chen said sarcastically. "Even if you want to get away from this, can you at least find an excuse?"
The Suan Ni general's face was firm, "This general can clearly see that the one who attacked was indeed the Five Poison Jade Flames Body!"
Ji Chen continued to speak. "Your majesty, the poison in the dead soldiers is still there. Why don't we let Auxiliary Duke demonstrate his poison skills on the spot. When the two of them are compared, black and white will immediately appear!"
Truth Holy Emperor nodded his head, which made a lot of sense. "En, the memorial! Fang Wuji, now is your last chance. I hope Zhen wronged you!"
Very soon, a Blue Bird Guard carried a few corpses out. Auxiliary Duke knelt on the side with a terrified expression, but he could only muster the courage to activate his physique. A layer of green flame enveloped him.
"Wait a moment!" At this moment, another group of people rushed over from the main door. The one walking in front was a beautiful and graceful woman, it was Imperial Consort Shu. Fourth Prince stood by the side and supported his mother as he walked over quickly.
Imperial Consort Shu and Fourth Prince's intelligence network was very well-developed, so they knew everything very quickly. In a moment, their expressions changed. They knew that things were not good, so they had to quickly come over to remedy it.
Imperial Consort Shu and Fourth Prince came over and knelt down. Imperial Consort Shu said with a sad voice, "Your Majesty, all of this is a conspiracy. Someone is plotting against Chenqie's father. Chenqie knows about it. He definitely doesn't have the guts!"
Fourth Prince was also trembling in fear because he knew that this time, the matter was not directed at Auxiliary Duke but towards him. If it was not handled properly, it would be a graveless death!
"All of you shut up! Is it black or white, loyalty or adultery? Whether it is guilty or not, Zhen has his own considerations. There is no need for all of you to fight a war of words here!"
Truth Holy Emperor said angrily, "Imperial Consort Shu, now Zhen wants Auxiliary Duke to prove his innocence! You and Fourth Brother stand up and watch from the side!"
Auxiliary Duke let out a long sigh and slapped his palm on one of his maids. The beautiful girl with red lips and white teeth was poisoned and her skin turned green.
After that, her flesh started to fall off, and her internal organs and meridians all turned into pus and blood. In the end, only a pale green bone fell into the pool of pus and blood, just like the death of a guard beside her.
Seeing this scene, Imperial Consort Shu and Fourth Prince didn't dare to speak anymore. Truth Holy Emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's go and see if it's the same poison!"
An old man in a black robe walked out from the shadow of the Holy Emperor. He looked withered and withered. He was a grandmaster of poison, and was a consecrate of the royal family under the command of the Holy Emperor.
He walked over and carefully examined it. Finally, he came back and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the same kind of poison. There is no difference between the two!"
