Fast Transmigration: Mortal Girl Upgrade

Chapter 122 Protecting the Silly Prince 37
There was a sense of depression in the court, especially when the interim successor to the throne had just been confirmed, and the stool was pulled down before he could even sit on it.

The second prince stood in front of the ministers, with a gloomy face, and there would be a storm at any time.

The courtiers who supported the second prince looked at each other silently.Finally, an early bird was launched, "This is all nonsense, and someone must have made a rumor."

With the first bird, everyone else agrees with each other.Those who only supported the King of Xian spoke sarcastically, while some neutral factions stood obediently and remained silent.

There was another argument at the back, but it was obvious that one of the parties was weak and not as confident as yesterday.

Zhao Ziqi watched the second prince secretly from the sidelines. The folk rumors he heard this morning were still in his mind, and he never believed that the emperor's grandfather was killed by the second prince.

"Enough!" The second prince roared angrily, "This prince is open and honest, not afraid of rumors, but don't go too far with some things!"

The surroundings were instantly silent.

Zhao Kun hooked his lips, "Of course the emperor's character is obvious to all, but no matter if such a thing happened, no matter whether it is true or not, we have to give an explanation to the common people in the world, otherwise it will be difficult to convince them."

"Yeah, yeah" the people below whispered.

The second prince clenched and loosened his fists, "Okay, I want to see what this nonsense man has to say."

After a while, two soldiers came in with a eunuch and a palace maid.

Zhao Kun stepped forward, "Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you here, just tell what you know."

The eunuch and maid looked at the second prince tremblingly, then lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Everyone saw the frightened look in their eyes, and couldn't help looking at the second prince.

When he really saw the eunuch and the maid, the second prince was surprised. His first reaction was that he was being targeted by others, but he remained calm on his face.When they looked over, the second prince showed no expression, but the hand hanging on one side twisted his wrist slightly.

No one found out what happened, except Zhao Ziqi.Because he couldn't believe that the emperor's uncle had killed the emperor's grandfather, Zhao Ziqi had been secretly watching him all the time.Seeing this action, Zhao Ziqi's eyes dimmed a lot.

Lord Feng stood up, "Tell me everything you know. You have stayed in the palace for so many years, so you should be clear about which is more important."

The palace maid and the eunuch looked at each other and then said shiveringly, "The slaves test poisons for the emperor every day. There is nothing to do on weekdays. The only time he eats with the emperor is to test the dishes in advance. One day, there was a person that the slaves had never seen in the palace. Find the servant, give the servant a pill, and say to take it before trying the dishes."

"The servant was frightened at the time. There must be some kind of conspiracy. The servant did not agree, but they arrested the only old lady of the servant. If they don't do what he said, they will kill the old lady of the servant." Said The eunuch wept softly.

"What about you?" Zhao Kun asked the maid.

"The servant girl is the maid who serves the emperor's dining room every day." The maid paused, "Someone also found the servant girl, and that person gave the servant girl a pack of medicine, as long as the powder is sprinkled into the meal when passing the meal."

"And you did it?!" Master Feng asked.

The palace maid hesitated for a while, then hesitantly said, "Before I entered the palace, I had a fiancé, and that man promised to arrange for the slave to leave the palace as soon as things are done well."

"It's just, they really want to kill people!" The palace maid trembled, "I didn't want to die, so I ran away at night. Then I met this father-in-law, we didn't want to die, so I thought of a way .”

"You spread rumors everywhere, saying that this prince killed the emperor?!" The second prince interrupted, "This prince doesn't know you at all."

The second prince snorted coldly, "Do you know that slandering the royal family is a capital crime, and you must punish the nine clans!"

The sound was so loud that the two people who knelt down on the ground trembled even more, but the palace maid still trembled and said, "No, no, I didn't slander you. I, I have evidence."

Hearing the evidence, the second prince wanted to reprimand him again, but Zhao Kun took the first step, "What evidence, quickly show it."

The maid looked up at the second prince and quickly lowered her head, avoiding her eyes, "This, this fell from that person. The servant picked it up and hid it secretly." Then she took out a token from her bosom.

This time the second prince's movements were stronger than Zhao Kun's, and he went to get the token before him, but he was preempted again.

Looking at the familiar token in his hand, Zhao Ziqi still couldn't accept it, "Uncle Emperor, is this yours?"

"Do not……"

"Isn't this the exclusive token of the emperor's uncle?"

"you……"

"Look, it's engraved with the words exclusive to the emperor." Zhao Kun pointed to the lower right corner of the command board.

Zhao Ziqi knew that every member of the royal family would have their own characters, but he still didn't want to believe it.

At this time, the ministers began to boil again.

"If this is true, it is regicide!"

"Yeah, how can such a person become a Mingjun."

"That's right, the Great Zhao Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of such people."

The ministers left and right, the situation is now leaning to one side.Neutral is still neutral, just watching the show without saying anything.

Lord Feng stroked his goatee, "Second Prince, do you have anything to say?"

"The token must have been stolen by them! This prince did not kill his father! You can't convict this prince on the basis of such one-sided words."

Zhao Kun stepped forward and took the token from Zhao Ziqi's hand, "The emperor's mansion is always heavily guarded, and mosquitoes can't fly in all the time, let alone them?"

"Come on!" Zhao Kun shouted.

Immediately walked into two guards, "Yes."

"Invite the emperor down, take a good look at it."

"Yes." The imperial guard stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to the second prince.

Seeing that the imperial guards were all at Zhao Kun's disposal, the second prince couldn't help sneering, "It's good to kill first and play later, and use two servants to bring down this prince. But I underestimated you, you are much smarter than your father."

The second prince was knocked down just like that, but Zhao Kun also failed to sit on the throne, because Mr. Feng strongly recommended Zhao Ziqi, and those who were originally neutrals jumped out to support him.

The situation turned into two patterns again, Zhao Kun felt the same as the second prince at the time, he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway.

"I don't want to be emperor."

The surroundings were instantly quiet.

Upon seeing this, Lord Xie immediately said, "The emperor should be occupied by the capable, and it should be able to bring stability to the people. King Xian first contributed rice secrets and then built roads and houses. Everything is for the well-being of the people. King Xian is I really care about the country and the people, and I am willing to follow such an emperor." After speaking, he immediately knelt down.

The rest of Zhao Kun's supporters also knelt down, "I am willing to follow."
