Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 146 Condemn

The emperor looked at the people on the ground with a gloomy look in his eyes and could only agree.

Disagreement only makes people suspicious.

But he couldn't let them investigate now. He had to ask Yu Degui to make some preparations, and the files and evidence that needed to be cleared had to be cleared in a timely manner.

Just as he was about to speak to delay, he heard Lord Wu say to Gao Chengqian, "You must immediately follow Minister Yu to the Ministry of Justice to obtain the files and evidence in the case of the late Crown Prince.

Su Heting also said to Chen Shan, "You go together."

"Today is the New Year's Eve palace banquet..."

The emperor still wanted to stop it, but was interrupted by a cry of surprise.

The old man pointed at the emperor, his eyes filled with fear, and said, "Ah, be careful behind you."

Qiao Xi immediately stood in front of the emperor and asked, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"

The old man didn't answer her. He rushed to Su Heting like a monkey, pulled his sleeve, and said in fear, "Grandson, there are ghosts here. Let's go back."

Su Heting hurriedly stopped him, "Grandfather, don't talk nonsense."

The old man curled his lips, as if he was about to cry, and pointed behind the emperor, "There really is a ghost. He was just behind your emperor father, and now, now, he is walking towards us."

Everyone was immediately horrified.

The old man seemed to be terrified himself, and kept burrowing into Su Heting's arms. Feeling that it was still unsafe, he called out to Qiao Xi, "Granddaughter-in-law, block it, help grandfather block it quickly, this ghost is too scary, why is there fire coming out of his body...

Ah, why does he look so much like your emperor father... Ah, I don’t dare to look at him, I don’t dare to look at him, it’s too scary... Wuuuuu, it’s too scary..."

He actually cried loudly like a frightened child, crying and saying, "It's not my fault, don't look for me, wuwuwu, grandson's wife, why can't you stop me, ah, go away, why are you standing in front of me.

Wuuuu, who hurt you? Who are you looking for? Wuuuu, I didn’t mean to disturb you. I just saw you getting close to my grandson’s emperor father, and I thought you were going to hurt him, so I shouted.

Don't bully the old man, woo woo woo, go away, go away quickly..."

But the wronged spirit seemed to be haunting him. He waved his hands desperately, but in the end, it seemed to be of no use. He cried out, "It's so scary, so scary, knock me out quickly..."

As he wished, Qiao Xi raised her hand and knocked him unconscious.

The world fell silent for a moment.

The old man's words were still ringing in their ears, and everyone couldn't help but get goose bumps all over their bodies, as if the air had become a little chillier.

"Minister Yu, let's go."

Su Heting broke the terrifying silence.

Gao Chengqian also made a gesture of invitation to Yu Degui. Yu Degui glanced at the emperor and had to bow and push him away.

Just as they turned around, another imperial guard came running over panting.

He knelt before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, something has happened to the Lin family as well."

The Lin family mentioned by the imperial guards was once the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.

When Su Heting came to Beijing, the third prince sent someone to assassinate Su Heting. The emperor was unwilling to punish the third prince for Su Heting, so he let the deceased Marquis Changning take the responsibility.

However, he was also afraid that Lin Yuanbo would hide evidence that was unfavorable to the emperor in order to protect the Lin family, so he only took away the title of Changning Marquis, and prohibited three generations of the Lin family from entering officialdom.

Although the other members of the Lin family lost their official positions, they still lived in the capital.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. Before the Lin family started their banquet, the ancestral hall suddenly collapsed during the worship. Then the prince cried out for justice. Then the servants discovered that there was a skeleton kneeling outside the Lin family's door.

The skeleton looked like it had been dead for less than a year and was kneeling facing the direction of the palace.

Mrs. Lin recognized the jade pendant hanging on the skeleton's chest as the same jade pendant that Lin Yuanbo wore when he was alive.

The emperor looked at the imperial guards with an extremely grim expression, "Are you saying that someone dug up Lin Yuanbo's tomb and placed his remains in front of the Lin family's gate?"

The Imperial Guards didn't dare to speak of the strange and supernatural rumors circulating outside, and could only say, "We haven't yet found out who did it."

Today is New Year's Eve. Everyone went home early and the streets are deserted.

The Lin family had their titles stripped away, and they were not eligible to enter the palace tonight. They had closed the door to their house early, and had no idea who the corpse belonged to or when it was placed at the door.

It was discovered by a servant from the neighboring mansion, which attracted a crowd of onlookers. Only then did the Lin family find out about this matter. Now they have investigated, but there are no clues.

In addition, today was a special day, with corpses kneeling and the ancestral hall collapsing. The onlookers were all discussing outside the Lin family's door, saying that Lin Yuanbo must have done something immoral and was punished by God to kneel.

It just so happened that such a thing happened in the palace, so how could he dare to tell the emperor what was said outside the Lin family mansion.

The imperial guards dared not say it, but someone said, "Just now, the late crown prince said that Lin Yuanbai had the embroiderer make the puppet and framed him. Now Lin Yuanbai is kneeling in front of the palace, is he confessing to the late crown prince?..."

The speaker was a teenager. He felt that he had understood the key point and spoke it out freely.

The adults in the family reacted and hurried to cover his mouth, but it was too late. What needed to be said had already been said.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, what grudge did Lin Yuanbo, a playboy, have with the prince? Why would he want to murder the crown prince?

Su Heting asked what everyone was thinking.

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Wu, who understood his intention and said hurriedly, "Lin Yuanbai is a lawless man who has always acted recklessly. Perhaps this is why he has a grudge against the late crown prince."

Eunuch Wu has been with the emperor for these days and has also learned about Lin Yuanbo's true identity, who was once the emperor's sword.

Everything he did was instructed by the emperor. In other words, if it is finally discovered that the former prince was indeed killed by Lin Yuanbo, then as long as everyone knows Lin Yuanbo's secret identity, they will understand that it was the emperor who actually framed the prince.

As the eunuch beside the emperor, it is his duty and must be done to conceal the emperor.

Lin Yuanbo was once a famous playboy in the capital. Later, he was punished by the emperor for molesting concubines. The emperor said that he and the late crown prince had a personal grudge, so no one dug deep into the reasons why he harmed the late crown prince.

Seeing that no one asked any further questions, Eunuch Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Su Heting heard Qiao Xi ask, "Princess, I heard that you and the late Crown Prince grew up together. Do you know how the late Crown Prince incurred Lin Yuanbai's hatred, allowing Lin Yuanbai to dare to murder the crown prince?"

The emperor's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Qiao Xi with gritted teeth.

Qiao Xi shook her head blankly, "Although I am engaged to the late Crown Prince, I don't know him well."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her with different expressions.

Everyone knows that the orphan girl of the Qiao family was married to the late crown prince when she was young, and the late crown prince also raised his fiancée with the apple of his eye.

How could Qiao Xi say that he was not familiar with the late crown prince?

Lord Wu couldn't bear to watch this. "Princess of Jiangbei, Lin Yuanbo, and the late Crown Prince are both deceased. If we were to ask who in this world knows the most about the late Crown Prince, it would most likely be you among those present."

Qiao Xi frowned, "What do you mean, Lord Wu?

There are differences between men and women, how can I have private contact with the late Crown Prince?"

Many women who had previously had a crush on the late crown prince showed expressions of dissatisfaction and anger.

The former crown prince has the appearance of an immortal and is the future king. Who wouldn't want to be his wife? But the former crown prince only has Qiao Xi in his heart and doesn't even look at them.

Some people were bold enough to risk their reputation and present themselves before the late crown prince, but the late crown prince kept his distance from them.

He is always polite and distant to other heroines, and his eyes are always indifferent. Only when he is with Qiao Xishi will he smile gently and dotingly.

While everyone was jealous of Qiao Xi, they couldn't help but envy her.

After the former crown prince committed suicide out of fear of punishment, people dared not mention him anymore. Qiao Xi also stayed in the harem to recuperate and did not discuss marriage for many years. Everyone thought that she could not let go of the former crown prince.

But no one expected that she would completely distance herself from the late crown prince.

Are you afraid that the King of Xinjiang North will be jealous?

The noble lady, who had been in love with the late crown prince but could not win him over, and finally had to marry someone else, and her life was very unhappy, humphed, "The late crown prince is dead, so it's understandable that you have a new life.

But the former crown prince raised you and protected you for nine years, defending you in every way and doting on you. How could you be so ungrateful?"

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't."

Qiao Xi's face was filled with anger. "It was His Majesty who raised and protected me."

She looked at the emperor for help, "Your Majesty, I grew up under your lap. How can they be so ridiculous?"
