Chapter 620 Emperor Xiao is in a coma
When he saw Shen Yanxi again, Xiao Yi didn't look surprised at all.
Although he was imprisoned in this prison, two whole days had passed without receiving any news. He also knew that Li Zheng and his mother must have failed.
Leaning against the wall at this moment, Xiao Yi still had a calm and smiling expression, as if nothing could affect his emotions.
It was not until Pei Zhaozhi revealed that Li Zheng and his mother had confessed and the emperor ordered him to be in charge of the trial that the smile on Xiao Yi's face began to crack.
He met Shen Yanxi's gaze and sneered, "So you came here specifically to laugh at me. I didn't know Lord Shen had such a hobby before."
Shen Yanxi also smiled and said, "If it were anyone else, then of course I wouldn't do that, but facing the Fourth Prince, it's different. I feel that this trip is well worth it."
When their eyes met, Xiao Yi's eyes showed displeasure and coldness, while Shen Yanxi was calm and composed.
Xiao Yi retracted his gaze and forced a smile, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for thinking so highly of me."
"Your Highness is too polite. When the case is retried and Your Highness pleads guilty and obeys the law, I will come and see you off in person."
"Don't speak too soon. After all, we have just begun the trial. Are you so sure that this prince will not escape this disaster?" Xiao Yi tilted his head slightly and squinted at Shen Yanxi and Pei Zhaozhi.
Shen Yanxi sneered and said bluntly: "Being set up by others and finally getting out of danger safely is called escaping a disaster. For the Fourth Prince's actions, the only word I can think of is... reaping the fruits of one's own actions."
Xiao Yi's smile turned cold, and hostility finally seeped out of his eyes. He stared at Shen Yanxi and Pei Zhaozhi with murderous intent in his eyes no longer restrained.
"It seems that there is really no room for maneuver between this prince and the two of you."
"The Fourth Prince is wrong. It's not that there is no room for maneuver between you and me, Lord Shen, but that the wrong things you have done are irreversible. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected. Those innocent people who were harmed by you and died because of you are the real reason that separates us from you." Pei Zhaozhi said in a serious tone.
In fact, looking at the remaining princes, the Fourth Prince is indeed the most outstanding one. If he had not done so many evil and wrong things, I would probably support him to become the crown prince.
But unfortunately, the Fourth Prince's hands are stained with sin. He is a prince with a vicious mind who does not care about the lives of the people at all. If he really becomes the crown prince or even ascends the throne to become the emperor, it will be a disaster for the people and court officials of the world.
Therefore, whether it is for the purpose of finding out the truth, giving justice to the deceased, or for the sake of Beiyang Kingdom, he will definitely stick to this matter and will never let the Fourth Prince escape the blame!
Xiao Yi's eyes fell on Pei Zhaozhi, and after a long while he spoke quietly: "This prince is still too soft-hearted. During the previous case in the suburbs, I just had someone hurt you. Now I think I should kill you."
"It's too late for the Fourth Prince to regret now. As long as I am still alive, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. When the time comes, I will also investigate the Chengjiao case together with the Fourth Prince."
"Heh." Xiao Yi laughed, slowly retracted his gaze, and said in a low voice, "Then let's see if you have this opportunity."
His tone was low, but it contained a sense of expectation that made people feel uncomfortable.
Shen Yanxi frowned and was about to continue speaking when a guard hurried to the outside of the cell and reported to him.
"Sir, something happened."
"What's the matter?"
"News just came from the palace, saying that the emperor..."
The guard was halfway through his words, and when he mentioned the word "Emperor", Shen Yanxi immediately became alert and signaled him to speak in a lower voice.
The guard glanced at Xiao Yi in the cell, then moved closer to Shen Yanxi and whispered.
"News just came from the palace saying that the emperor suddenly fell into a coma."
Shen Yanxi's expression darkened and he subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yi.
The latter looked at Shen Yanxi's sudden change of expression and raised his eyebrows with interest, "What happened to Lord Shen? Did something unexpected happen?"
Pei Zhaozhi noticed that Shen Yanxi had a strange expression on his face and immediately looked at the guard. The guard came up to Pei Zhaozhi and whispered again.
Upon hearing the news that Emperor Xiao was in a coma, Pei Zhaozhi's expression suddenly became uneasy.
He was fine when he just left the imperial study, how come he suddenly fell into a coma?
Pei Zhaozhi was very confused. Noticing that Shen Yanxi's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Yi.
The smile on Xiao Yi's lips grew bigger and bigger, "It seems that the turning point has arrived."
……
The sudden coma of Emperor Xiao caused another uproar in the already restless palace and court.
The court officials who received the news were in a panic and tried to find out about Emperor Xiao's condition, but all they could find out was that Emperor Xiao suddenly fell into a coma and the imperial physician was treating him.
In the harem, Concubine Cheng wanted to visit several times, but was stopped every time by people sent by Empress Shi.
Standing in the bedroom, she paced back and forth, feeling restless. When she saw the person she sent to get information about the emperor coming back, she immediately asked, "Did you find out? How is the emperor doing?"
The maid shook her head carefully, "Your Highness, the Empress has sealed all the news, so I can't find out anything. The eunuchs and maids in the Emperor's bedroom are also keeping their mouths shut and saying they don't know. Even the imperial physician who diagnosed the Emperor's pulse, I tried to find out, but I didn't get anything."
"Damn it, I didn't expect the Queen to react so quickly." Concubine Cheng gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly.
The personal nanny at the side walked up to Concubine Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, the more tightly the Queen keeps the news secret, the more serious the situation will be."
"You are right. If the emperor just suddenly became unwell and fainted, there would be no need to be on such strict guard. But the emperor has always been in good health. How could something bad happen to him suddenly?" Concubine Cheng was very confused.
The personal nanny looked at the maid who had just reported the news, waved her hand to let her retreat, and then said to Concubine Cheng: "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, if the emperor's health is really in trouble, then now is the critical period."
Concubine Cheng understood what this meant. She frowned and looked gloomy.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. Yi'er is still imprisoned in the prison. If something happens to the emperor, it might give others an opportunity to take advantage of him. If someone else really climbs onto the throne, then Yi'er and I will never be able to make a breakthrough."
Thinking of this, Concubine Cheng gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Please find a way to arrange it. I need to go to the prison."
After planning for so long, we must not fail. If it really comes to a critical moment, some things must be decided immediately and plans must be made in time!
