The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 620: logical
Chapter 620 It’s a natural thing
Seeing that Fu Ruoxi had made up her mind and would listen to what he said, Bai Qingyan said, “Uncle Ping, take General Fu to rest first. Try to send General Fu out of the city early tomorrow morning. After General Fu is settled, Uncle Ping will come back. I have something to tell you.”
“yes!”
Lupin responded and took Fu Ruoxi away.
Not long after, Lupin came back.
Bai Qingyan took a few steps closer to Lupin and lowered his voice and said, “Uncle Ping, before dawn, I want a corpse with a broken right arm, dressed in Fu Ruoxi’s clothes, and beheaded. Can Uncle Ping do it?”
The eldest girl is going to forge Fu Ruoxi’s body, which is rather troublesome because Fu Ruoxi’s right arm is broken, and it was only recently broken.
Lupin gritted his teeth. Fu Ruoxi would be back on October 15th, so it was just a matter of fooling around for two days. There was still a way out. He clasped his fists and said, “Don’t worry, young lady. Lupin will get it done before dawn!”
After Lupin left, Qinghuiyuan became quiet again, with only the sound of the wind.
Chun Tao looked at Bai Qingyan, who was standing under the corridor lamp with a frown on her face, and said softly, “Young lady, go to sleep…”
“Yeah!” Bai Qingyan responded. It was time to go to bed and get enough rest. Tomorrow… was the highlight.
·
Not only Bai Qingyan did not sleep tonight, but the Crown Prince, the old Imperial Teacher Tan, and Lu Jin were also unable to sleep.
Just as the Crown Prince and Imperial Tutor Tan received Fu Ruoxi’s confession, a fire suddenly broke out in the Dali Temple Prison.
Lu Jin immediately realized that someone was coming to kill Fu Ruoxi. Everyone focused on dealing with the secret guards who came to kill Fu Ruoxi, and were busy putting out the fire. Lu Jin ordered the jailer who came to reinforce to transfer Fu Ruoxi away first, but later… Fu Ruoxi disappeared.
In addition to the bodies of those assassins, Lu Jin discovered the bodies of two more jailers. After identification by the jailers below, they said that these two people were not the jailers in their Dali Temple prison at all. Lu Jin was so shocked that he almost fell down.
The Crown Prince and the old Imperial Preceptor Tan also had solemn expressions on their faces. They felt that the Queen and Prince Xin’s men were extremely powerful, so they became even more cautious and immediately ordered a count of the jailers at the Dali Temple.
“Since Fu Ruoxi’s testimony is already in hand, Your Highness does not need to hesitate any longer… Just arrest Prince Xin.” Imperial Master Tan made a prompt decision, “And have the patrol battalion search the entire city for Fu Ruoxi. We must find him alive… or his body if he is dead!”
The prince tightened his hands behind his back, lowered his eyes in deep thought, and said nothing.
He wanted to completely overthrow the Queen and Prince Xin, but now he only had Fu Ruoxi’s testimony and no physical evidence. If Prince Xin and the Queen woke up in the future and said that Fu Ruoxi had framed them, considering his father’s love for Prince Xin, he would most likely hold them high and then let them go easily.
And Elder Fang said that he bribed the maid who used to serve the Queen. After all, it is related to the royal bloodline… Father will investigate carefully and find that it was the Prince’s Mansion who did it…
The prince couldn’t help but tremble. He became the prince who framed his younger brother. His father might depose him.
The crown prince understood his father. Only if… Prince Xin threatened his imperial power and throne, would his father want Prince Xin’s life.
Therefore, if we want to prevent the Queen and Prince Xin from turning over, we must let them really raise an army to force the Queen to abdicate, and the evidence must be irrefutable.
It would be best if the capital city was in chaos. Only when it is in chaos… my father will know that the Queen and Prince Xin are really planning a rebellion, and only then will he know that he is a good son.
Fortunately, there were 20,000 troops from the Anping camp outside the city gate, and the commander of the patrol camp, Fan Yuhuai, was also his man.
“Old Imperial Master Tan, we only have Fu Ruoxi’s testimony in our hands, but we don’t have the letter the Queen wrote to Fu Ruoxi. This is not enough to prove that what Fu Ruoxi said is true. If we rashly detain Prince Xin, I’m afraid that my father will blame us when he wakes up.” The prince frowned, “Although Prince Xin was demoted to a commoner, he is still my father’s legitimate son. In handling this matter… If I don’t know how to handle it properly, I will be criticized.”
Old Imperial Preceptor Tan’s eyebrows twitched, and he was about to say something when he saw Quan Yu hurriedly coming in from outside the Dali Temple. He walked around the black lacquered sandalwood pillar and came to the side of the prince. He covered his lips with one hand and told the prince about Zhong Shaozhong meeting his old subordinates in the brothel.
Sure enough, the Zhong family is going to rebel.
The prince did not dare to delay and immediately told the old imperial tutor Tan: “Old imperial tutor… Zhong Shaozhong is gathering the old members of the imperial guards in the flower tower. I am afraid there will be chaos!”
Old Imperial Master Tan tightened his grip on Fu Ruoxi’s confession and said, “Your Highness, to avoid chaos in the capital, send someone to arrest Zhong Shaozhong and his group!”
When the prince heard what the old imperial tutor Tan said, he nodded repeatedly and ordered Quan Yu to order the patrol battalion to arrest the man.
As long as Zhong Shaozhong and others can be caught red-handed, the Queen and Prince Xin will have no chance to deny it.

Inside the flower building.
When Zhong Shaozhong saw that all his trustworthy old subordinates had arrived, he actually lifted up the hem of his shirt and knelt down to face his former subordinates with his fists clasped.
Zhong Shaozhong’s former subordinates hurriedly knelt down, each of them in a panic: “Sir! What does Sir Zhong mean by this?”
“Everyone, Zhong Shaozhong invites you here today because the Queen has asked you to save His Majesty!” Zhong Shaozhong bowed to his old subordinates and said with tears in his eyes, “To be honest, the higher-ups said that His Majesty is praying for the country of Jin and that he has to bathe and fast for 49 days. In fact… it’s because His Majesty fell off a horse and has been unconscious until now!”
The generals of the imperial guards were shocked.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. Some of them had heard some rumors about the emperor falling off his horse and passing out.
Zhong Shaozhong gritted his teeth and said, “This was done by the Crown Prince! When the Crown Prince saw that the Queen was pregnant with another legitimate child and that Your Majesty had summoned Prince Xin back to the capital, he felt that his position as Crown Prince was threatened, so he attacked Your Majesty, intending to frame the Queen and Prince Xin. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone. In addition to the Queen and Prince Xin, he could also kill Your Majesty… so that he could ascend the throne legitimately as the Crown Prince!”
“But…but this is not right! I heard that when Your Majesty fell off his horse, the prince was still in Dengzhou…” said a general of the imperial guards.
“This is the prince’s cleverness!” Zhong Shaozhong had a plan in advance, and tears of pain seemed to flow down his face. “The prince is far away in Dengzhou, and no one can suspect him. They may even suspect that the queen and Prince Xin are attacking Your Majesty, and want to take advantage of the prince’s absence from the capital to create chaos and support Prince Xin to ascend the throne!”
“But think about it!” Zhong Shaozhong clasped his fists and pointed towards the direction of the palace. “Who will benefit the most from your Majesty’s death? It’s the Crown Prince! If your Majesty dies…it will be a natural progression for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!”
Zhong Shaozhong’s former subordinate frowned, looked around at his colleagues, and spoke first: “Sir, I also heard that Fu Ruoxi was brought back this time because she obeyed the Queen’s order to assassinate the Prince!”
Zhong Shaozhong looked at his old subordinates solemnly: “If Fu Ruoxi assassinated the prince on the orders of the queen, why hasn’t the prince produced any evidence yet?”
