Reborn as the beloved of the crippled king

Chapter 256 This is killing two birds with one stone

Not only the emperor, but also the third prince also suspected that the arson was committed by Prince Ling's Mansion.

Because not long after he wanted to assassinate Murong Jiu, something like this happened in Prince Rui's Mansion.

But the emperor soon excluded Prince Ling’s Mansion.

Because they didn't think Murong Jiuyijie was so capable, and Jun Yuyan was still on his way back. It would take at least eight days to return. He was too far away from the capital to make such a careful plan.

Moreover, the emperor's people soon found out that the second prince's house had purchased kerosene a year ago.

The emperor immediately showed no mercy and sent someone directly to the Second Prince's Mansion to inquire about the whereabouts of last year's batch of kerosene.

After a search, it was discovered that there was no kerosene in the warehouse of the Second Prince's Mansion.

The second prince could not tell the purpose of the kerosene, and the emperor became even more suspicious. He ordered the second prince to be detained and asked Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation.

When Murong Jiu heard the news, the smile on his face deepened.

She suddenly remembered the use of kerosene in the Second Prince's Mansion. Before Jun Yuyan suppressed the bandits, the bandits in the mountains had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Second Prince. He secretly raised private soldiers in the mountains.Those private soldiers followed the bandits to the surrounding villages to burn, kill, and loot, and then trained on ordinary villagers.

The kerosene was taken away by the bandits and burned the village with traces of destruction.

The reason why she knew this was because in her previous life, Jun Yuyan had not suppressed bandits. Later, she entered the second prince's mansion, and the second prince bought kerosene several times. She treated a private soldier who had broken his leg, so she knew Due to the effect of kerosene, he also privately advised the second prince not to take human life lightly.

The second prince promised very well, but then the news no longer reached her ears. It wasn't that it didn't happen again, but that the second prince stopped letting her know.

She smiled and asked Jun Yuyan: "Did you know that the Second Prince's Mansion purchased kerosene?"

Jun Yuyan smiled and nodded.

Murong Jiu thought, for such a man who was so strategizing, he was so miserable in his previous life, all because of love and responsibility, and he was the culprit.

And all she can do in this life is respond to his love everywhere and everything.

Of course, it was impossible for the second prince to explain the true use of kerosene. The fire in Prince Rui's Mansion came suddenly and used a large amount of kerosene, which was similar to the amount he purchased last year. This showed that this was a long-planned calculation. He didn't even have time to erase the kerosene purchase records, and he was already banned in the Prince's Mansion.

Unless this matter is investigated clearly, he will not be able to leave the second prince's residence.

The second prince had just gloated for half the night before he was grounded. There was almost conclusive evidence that he was related to the arson case at Prince Rui's Mansion. By the morning of the second day, half of the courtiers had actually accused him of intending to kill the emperor's younger brother!
After the second prince heard this, he was so angry that he could only gnash his teeth.

He didn't understand that why so many ministers were impeached, it must have been his father who loved the Third Emperor's younger brother who was adding fuel to the flames!
The third prince was seriously injured. One of his hands was almost useless, his hair was burned, and his back was even more bloody because of the clothes wrapped around him, and he also developed a high fever.

How can the emperor not be angry?
If it hadn't been for the fact that Miracle Doctor Miao had two brushes and was able to bring down the high fever in a short time and put him out of danger, the emperor would probably have killed the second prince to vent his anger and buried the third prince with him.

Throughout the capital, even the peddlers and lackeys could see the emperor's love for the third prince, and they couldn't help but complain about Prince Ling.

A few years ago, people all thought that the emperor's favorite son was the eldest prince who made him look good. After all, Concubine Qi was also extremely favored. The reason why she was not made the prince was because the eldest prince was injured on the battlefield. His appearance was ruined and his legs were disabled, but he was also given the title of King Ling and many rewards.The second prince was born to the Queen of the Middle Palace and was supposed to be crown prince, but he never was crowned prince. People thought that the emperor was delaying it because he liked Prince Ling.

Now I fully understand how the current Holy Emperor really likes Prince Ling. The reason why he did not establish a heir is to protect the third prince.

Otherwise, why didn't you show your love for the third prince earlier?What is it if it's not protection?
The third prince's mother-in-law was just a palace maid. She seemed to have been born as a peasant girl. She was brought back to the palace as a palace maid by the emperor when he was out incognito for a private visit.

Everyone thought that the palace maid was just favored by the emperor because she served by his side. She was lucky enough to be pregnant, so she got the title Jingconcubine.

But in the past, Concubine Jing seemed to have no presence in the harem.

Unexpectedly, when the third prince came back from injury, Concubine Jing would immediately become Concubine Jing, and the third prince would also become Prince Rui.

On the other hand, the second prince, the queen's legitimate son, still doesn't have a title.

So some people also understand that the second prince wants to set fire to the third prince. He is a legitimate son, but he is ignored by the son born by the palace maid. He and Prince Ling are also used as shields to secretly cultivate and protect the third prince and the second prince. Can you hold this breath in your heart?

Some people in the capital still think that Prince Rui's Mansion was burned well, because it had only been a few days since the Third Prince Li killed more than a dozen doctors in the capital, and it was the time when righteous people were filled with indignation.

When the ups and downs in the capital reached the ears of the second prince again, his expression could no longer be described as gloomy.

He knew very well that this must be Jun Yuyan's method to frame him. This was the real killing of two birds with one stone. However, he could not explain the whereabouts of the kerosene. This was the same as when yellow mud fell into his crotch, it was either shit or shit.

Fortunately, apart from the kerosene, nothing else was found in Dali Temple. The people under him also let the stewards of the palace take the blame, saying that the kerosene was purchased privately for him, enriched his own pockets, and sold it to the grain and oil he had become friends with. The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper resold it elsewhere.

Therefore, he was at best guilty of a minor crime of poor discipline.

But how could the emperor let him go so easily?Taking advantage of Dali Temple to investigate the case, it would be a frame-up, and a lot of stigma would be framed on him.

The second prince continued to be grounded, and the servants in the palace did not dare to express their anger, and they all felt like a storm was coming.

Murong Man was actually having a better time than the others, because the second prince seemed to have forgotten her, and even if he vented his anger, he could not vent it on her.

She had heard from Guard Shi that her concubine Murong Dan, in order to express her thoughtfulness, sent soup to her, but was punished by the moody second prince to kneel down for most of the day, and her legs were turned purple from the cold.

And because she was secretly looked after by the stone guards, she had no worries about food and drink, and could often drink medicine to replenish her qi and blood. After these days of recuperation, her appearance became more eye-catching than before.

Although she can't compare with Murong Jiu, she can definitely compare with Yun Weiwei.

There is no way something could really happen to the second prince. After all, his mother is the mother of a country, and the Yun family is also very powerful and involved. If the emperor wants to get rid of the second prince, he has to consider the Yun family behind him.

Just wait, the second prince must be the final winner.

Her vision is unmistakable.
