Several days have passed with no progress!
Is this how you interrogate people?
If it were my Imperial Guards, they'd probably be arresting people like crazy right now, with heads rolling everywhere.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jiang Huan carefully bowed and stepped forward to accept the charge of wrongdoing handed to him by Xiao Jingyi.
"Go down. Wait a moment. If Qin Banruo asks about what to do with Prince Yu, tell her that if you want him to die, you must first make him go mad."
"Yes."
Jiang Huan then respectfully withdrew.
Xiao Jingyi, on the other hand, was busy until late at night before he finally stopped writing.
He looked up and saw that Yaoyue was sitting quietly waiting for him. He chuckled softly and pulled Yaoyue into his arms.
"Moon, why didn't you greet me when you arrived?"
"I'm afraid of disturbing you while you're on your business, Xiao Lang. You've been so busy lately."
Lying in Xiao Jingyi's arms, Yaoyue asked meaningfully.
Not only her, but all the other women in the palace noticed it.
"Hehe, I'm going to do something big: upgrade your status."
Xiao Jingyi replied with a smile, and stated his thoughts directly, because he didn't want the women to worry.
... ...... 0
Throughout history, the struggle for the throne has always been a bloodbath.
The victor is king, the loser is villain.
Yaoyue noted these words down. Although she didn't immediately understand what "leveling up" meant, she planned to go back and ask the other sisters.
"Xiao Lang, are you tired? I recently learned a massage technique from Sister Feiyan. I'll help you relax."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi's eyes lit up. He pinched Yaoyue's nose and readily agreed, "Okay."
That night, it was another night of passionate lovemaking.
On the other side, after leaving the study, Jiang Huan personally took Lou Zhijing's incriminating evidence and went to Qin Banruo's Red Sleeve Pavilion.
"Miss Qin, you are so leisurely."
"who!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Banruo shuddered and looked at the newcomer with a frosty expression.
Upon recognizing Jiang Huan, his expression immediately changed, and he bowed to him, saying, "So it's Vice Commander Jiang. May I ask what brings you here tonight?"
Jiang Huan produced the evidence and placed it in front of Qin Banruo.
"The prince is very dissatisfied with Qi Min's efficiency. Here is the evidence of Lou Zhijing's crimes that you collected at Hongxiuzhao. Find a time to hand it over to Prince Yu."
"At the same time, we should urge them both openly and subtly to try to close the case as soon as possible."
Upon hearing that it was Xiao Jingyi's order, Qin Banruo immediately stood up straight.
Thinking of that man who kept a low profile, even though she had only met him twice, she still felt lingering fear and dared not disobey him in the slightest.
She nodded solemnly and took the evidence: "Don't worry, Vice Commander Jiang, I will hand this evidence over to Prince Yu in the name of Hongxiuzhao first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, you can handle these matters yourself. What His Highness needs are results."
As he spoke, Jiang Huan prepared to leave.
But Qin Banruo called out to him, "Wait, Vice Commander Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan stopped and looked at Qin Banruo with a puzzled expression.
"I wonder if Your Highness has any instructions for Prince Yu?"
Upon hearing her question, Jiang Huan couldn't help but admire her.
The prince is indeed a man of great wisdom and foresight; he even thought of this problem.
Jiang Huan then replied, "The prince said, 'If you want someone to die, you must first make them go mad.'"
"Is that so...."
Qin Banruo muttered to herself after hearing this, not even knowing when Jiang Huan left.
All she knew was that when she came to her senses, she was all alone. Then, thinking of Xiao Jingyi's words, she gave a bitter smile: "Even without my defection, Prince Yu wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble against an opponent like Your Highness."
"If you want to destroy someone, you must first make them go mad."
"It seems I should let Prince Yu get a little carried away."
Thinking of this, Qin Banruo pondered how to make Prince Yu go crazy.
Chapter 54: The ambitious Prince Yu's next step is to depose the Crown Prince! (Bonus chapter for 2,000 flowers accumulated, please subscribe, please do anything)
All night long, Qin Banruo pondered how to make Prince Yu float away.
The next day, early in the morning.
Qin Banruo straightened her clothes and picked up the incriminating evidence that Jiang Huan had given her the night before.
She murmured, "This time, we must not disappoint His Highness Prince Yi."
She then picked up the evidence, put on a happy smile, and walked out of the red-sleeved pavilion.
Yuwangfu.
Prince Yu got up very early today. Ever since Lou Zhijing's incident, the Crown Prince has been disliked by Emperor Liang.
He hasn't been in a bad mood these past few days; in fact, wherever he goes, he'll give a golden bean to anyone he likes.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, how long will it take for you to fall?"
"I can't wait for you to fall from grace."
Prince Yu said happily.
"His Royal Highness King Yu."
Just then, a pleasant voice rang out.
Prince Yu was naturally familiar with this voice.
He immediately turned around and looked at her: "Prajna, what brings you here today? I remember you said that Hongxiuzhao was busy these days and wouldn't be coming."
Perhaps to avoid arousing suspicion from Xiao Jingyi, Qin Banruo would never come to see Prince Yu when she was free.
So she would usually use the excuse that she had something to do at the Red Sleeve Pavilion to brush it off.
“Your Highness, I, Hongxiuzhao, have been very busy these days, but it’s all for Your Highness.”
Qin Banruo replied.
Upon hearing this, Prince Yu's face immediately lit up with joy, and he stepped forward, saying, "Oh? Then I'd like to hear what you've done for me."
"Please take a look, Your Highness."
"Hmm?" "490"
Prince Yu looked down and saw that it was a stack of envelopes. He was a little puzzled, but he still reached out and took them.
But when he saw the contents, his face lit up with ecstasy: "This...this is...Lou Zhijing's crimes!"
"Wow, so many! It's incredibly comprehensive."
Holding the indictment, Prince Yu looked at Qin Banruo with surprise: "Banruo, how did you get it?"
You should know that although Prince Yu has been in a good mood these days, he still has things on his mind.
The question is whether we can crush Lou Zhijing this time.
After all, he knew that his father wanted to severely punish Lou Zhijing, but he understood that based solely on the crimes he committed at Lan Garden, it was impossible to crush Lou Zhijing like Xie Yu had crushed him.
Therefore, he and Qi Min conspired to dig up more evidence of Lou Zhijing's crimes during this period.
But there has been no progress.
As it turned out, Qin Banruo's incriminating evidence was the final straw that broke Lou Zhijing's back.
Therefore, he was very excited and stared at Qin Banruo with wide eyes.
Seeing his appearance, Qin Banruo took a few steps back before bowing and saying, "Your Highness, my Hongxiuzhao is not just a name without substance."
"Although I cannot provide you with the same assistance as other ministers, my Red Sleeve Pavilion also has its own intelligence agents."
"These were collected by people I placed in Lou Zhijing's residence a long time ago. I've actually been busy with this these past few days."
"Fortunately, they were efficient and found evidence of Lou Zhijing's wrongdoings over the years."
"Good good!"
Prince Yu said "good" three times in a row. He looked at Qin Banruo with undisguised eyes, then slowly walked forward, wanting to put his arm around her shoulder.
But Qin Banruo retreated again, and seeing her retreat even further, Prince Yu paused.
Then he withdrew his hand reluctantly: "I almost forgot that you have an injury on your shoulder."
Laughing to ease the awkwardness, Prince Yu then held up the evidence and asked, "Banruo, is all the evidence here genuine?"
"Your Highness, the Red Sleeves Bureau never makes a mistake in its work. Moreover, these incriminating documents are accompanied by corresponding physical evidence and witnesses. If Your Highness simply has someone bring these documents over, wouldn't the truth come to light?"
"Correct!"
"I will make the arrangements immediately!"
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter again, and then shouted to the guards outside the door, "Someone, go and invite Qi Min here. Tell him that I have important matters to discuss with him!"
"Prajna, you have done a great service. With this evidence, as long as even one or two of them are proven true, Lou Zhijing will have no chance to turn things around. At that time, I can just push my people to the position of Minister of Revenue."
"Of the six ministries in the imperial court, I alone command four of them. In my confrontation with the Crown Prince, I will have an absolute advantage!"
As he spoke, he became more and more excited. Prince Yu could even see himself pulling the Crown Prince off his horse, and then smoothly becoming the Crown Prince and ascending the throne.
Just thinking about it made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.
Of course, he also knew that it was thanks to Qin Banruo's intervention. He looked at her and then thought about Hongxiuzhao's intervention this time.
A few thoughts inexplicably arose in my mind.
if..
I will have Qin Banruo follow the same method and gather the other ministers, or even the entire court.
Thinking of this, a crazy idea suddenly popped into Prince Yu's mind.
He stared intently at Qin Banruo, his eyes filled with greed, and asked in a deep voice, "Banruo, besides Lou Zhijing, do you have any other people planted among the court officials?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Banruo immediately understood what Prince Yu meant.
And that was exactly what she had been waiting for.
If you want to destroy someone, you must first make them go mad.
Qin Banruo's plan this time was to use the entire Hongxiuzhao (Red Sleeve Pavilion) as bait to inflate Prince Yu's ambition and make him order his Hongxiuzhao to collect information on all the court officials.
She will announce it at that time.
It's important to understand that this is different from Xiao Jingyi's situation.
When Xiao Jingyi asked her to do it, it was done secretly and was not discovered by anyone.
Prince Yu asked her to collect these items with the intention of exposing them to the public.
He wanted all the officials in Kyoto to know that Prince Yu had planted his people among them, and that he wanted to gather evidence to manipulate the officials.
If this gets out, the whole of Kyoto will probably explode.
At that time, not only the court officials, but even Emperor Liang himself, would likely doubt and fear his crazy idea once they found out.
Prince Yu naturally became the target of public criticism.
After all, no one can tolerate having something on them that someone has used against them.
At that time, Prince Yu would become the public enemy of the entire court, and even his confidants might no longer be close to him.
