Chapter 324 Confirming the Charge

Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the lotus seat, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, chanting sutras and praying in front of the Buddhist niche.

Ji Wufeng's face was pale and her brain was still a little dazed. She sat cross-legged next to the Queen Mother and said with a gloomy expression: "Gu Jingyun has deep feelings for the Gu family. He has no concept of power at his age and has not established a deep mother-child relationship with the Queen. If caught. When there is an old man and a young child in the Gu family, Gu Jingyun will come alone. "

"The Ai family reminded you that there are no vegetarians in the Gu family." The Queen Mother looked at him coldly: "Don't say goodbye."

"Grandma, I didn't look down on them. I sent archers over. If they couldn't defeat them, they would trigger thunder and fireballs. As long as they had a breath, they would hang them on the beams." Ji Wufeng's dark eyes With a strange light, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "This will be more threatening to the Crown Prince."

The Queen Mother looked at Ji Wufeng, who was becoming more and more cruel and ruthless, and placed a volume of imperial edict in front of him.

Ji Wufeng was startled and unfolded the imperial edict. It was the last edict.

"grandmother?"

"You can't keep the little bastard. Once he dies, you will lose a threat. When the emperor's eldest son died, the queen couldn't bear it. Now that the dead son has been lost and found again, she can't bear the loss again. After the queen lost power, the harem No one in the country can restrain you." The Queen Mother glanced at the imperial edict in his hand with cold eyes: "When the time comes, we will expose the fake imperial edict created by the Xuhui gang and remove all these thorns in the side, and you will be able to regain the power in the DPRK. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will grant a general amnesty to the world and establish a benevolent society to recruit scholars for his own use. "

The cake drawn by the Queen Mother made Ji Wufeng's blood surge, as if he had already seen himself sitting in the position of the ninth-five-year-old.

Ji Wufeng's eyes flickered slightly. The Queen Mother was an extremely ambitious person. She could kill her own son, let alone someone who was a generation removed from her?

In the deep palace, there is only power.

Blood ties are as thin as a piece of paper.

Sitting in that position, he was just a marionette in the hands of the Queen Mother.

but……

Ji Wufeng lowered his eyes to cover up the calculation in his eyes, and said in a gloomy tone of resignation: "I will obey my grandmother's arrangements in everything."

The Queen Mother was pleased by his words: "Okay, you put this thing away and wait for the news over there."

Ji Wufeng handed the edict back: "My grandmother kept this for me."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, trying to soften her expression a little, "Cao Guangyi, when the time comes..."

"Bold! What are you doing? This is the Queen Mother's palace, how can you be allowed to be so presumptuous?"

The angry voice of the female officer came in, and the Queen Mother looked stern. A kind of uneasiness swept over her, her heart hung in her throat, and the word "failure" came into her mind.

She didn't have time to think about it, and the Queen Mother walked toward the door in a panic.

"The general will act as ordered." As a low and cold voice sounded, the palace maids and chamberlains screamed uncontrollably one after another, and with a "bang", the palace door was knocked open.

Zhao Wei was holding a long sword and wearing mysterious clothes, standing at the door, with guards in armor standing behind him.

"Zhao Wei! You are wearing weapons and leading people to trespass into the Ai family's palace. Do you have law and order in your eyes? Do you have imperial authority?" The Queen Mother suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and angrily yelled: "Get out of here with your people, Ai family I will remember your merits and not your faults.”

Zhao Wei said expressionlessly: "Empress Dowager, I will obey the order. Someone assassinated someone from the Gu family today. They captured a few alive and interrogated them. They followed the orders of the deposed prince Ji Wufeng and captured the prince's adoptive mother and his third son. Sister, use this to coerce the prince and intend to rebel. "

"This matter is not trivial. The Empress has ordered that the deposed prince be brought back and interrogated by the Third Division."

"Spitting blood!" Ji Wufeng felt a sweet taste in his throat, swallowed it hard, and said with red eyes: "Zhao Wei, my power has been wiped out by the regent, and I have been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for nearly a year. Do you have the power to arrest the emperor's younger brother's adoptive mother?" He sneered: "Everyone knows what happened in Gu's house a few days ago, so how could I be so stupid as to kill me for any reason? The emperor's brother will eliminate the trouble? "

The Queen Mother sternly said: "Zhao Wei, how can you convict Feng'er based on your words? It is unknown who the assassin you mentioned is. Before we convict someone, we pay attention to evidence."

Zhao Wei said without changing his expression: "The Queen Mother is right, everything depends on evidence. The Queen has raised the deposed prince for more than ten years, and she does not want to believe that he will attack the prince for the sake of power, regardless of the kindness of raising him. The general and the ministers of Dali Temple jointly issued an order to the Queen. Order, search the prince’s residence in Xingningfang in the capital and find weapons and dragon robes.”

The expressions of the Queen Mother and Ji Wufeng suddenly changed, and Zhao Wei said coldly: "The Queen Mother received a report earlier, and the Gu family was ambitious to arrest the prince, and wanted to usurp the throne. There was a lot of evidence of rebellion in the palace, so Cao Guangyi was sent We went to search, and it turned out that he was unjustly accused. In the morning, all the officials discussed and continued to investigate the matter. Today, it emerged that the deposed prince committed a murder in the Gu Mansion. The general became suspicious, but he did not expect to find evidence of the crime. ”

The Queen Mother was shaky, she was shooting herself in the foot.

She soon calmed down. Ji Wufeng was the best choice, but without Ji Wufeng, she had other choices.

The blood all over Ji Wufeng's body was solidified and his face turned pale. He never expected to be killed.

If there is no proof to clarify that he did not hide the things in his mansion, I am afraid that with the help of the Queen's faction, he will be blamed for this.

He looked at the Queen Mother, wanting to ask for help, but he saw the cruelty in the Queen Mother's firm eyes, and his heart instantly went cold.

"grandmother……"

The Queen Mother said disappointedly: "Feng'er, do you really have this idea?"

"I didn't, Grandmother, I was wronged!" Ji Wufeng defended himself: "I have never lived in the mansion in Xingningfang, so how could I hide these...things in it?"

"Do you have evidence to prove that it is not yours?"

"I..."

"Okay, a person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow. You go with Zhao Wei to be interrogated, and I will find evidence for you." How dare the Queen Mother let the three courts try this case?

The weapons and dragon robes were probably the things she hid in the Gu Mansion. They had been hidden in the prince's private residence by the people of the Gu Mansion, waiting for this day!

If she redressed Ji Wufeng's grievances and found out the origins of the weapons and dragon robes, she would be in trouble.

The Queen and others had already taken one step and looked three steps ahead, and had no intention of letting them go.

Ji Wufeng judged the situation and wanted to escape. He couldn't escape, so he could only hope in the Queen Mother.

Zhao Wei took Ji Wufeng away.

The Queen Mother dug her nails deep into her palms and watched the guards drag Ji Wufeng away, like a stray dog.

"Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes fiercely: "Go and give Ji Wufeng a push, so that he can be convicted of the crime."
