In the imperial prison, Li Yao sat calmly in her cell with her eyes closed.
He did not even change out of his prison uniform.
"Your Highness, King E." In the opposite cell, Yang Hui, who was covered in dust and hair, bowed to Li Yao hypocritically.
"Yo! Isn't this brother-in-law? He's not dead yet!" Li Yao replied with a smile.
Although Yang Hui was his brother-in-law, Yang Hui was indeed much older than Li Yao.
"Fifth Uncle isn't dead yet. How can I, as his brother-in-law, bear to die?”Yang Hui had a mocking look on his face.
"I'm different. I won't die. However, brother-in-law, your death is not far away.”Li Yao still had a smile on her face." Brother-in-law, I realized that since you didn't come up with a plan in front of Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui's level of conspiracy has plummeted!”
"Hey, when can you come out? After we come out, let's exchange a few more moves?”Li Yao's mouth was still unforgiving.
"Humph! King E should be worried about his own safety! You have done witchcraft, brought disaster to the harem, attempted to take revenge on Concubine Hui, and even endangered the Emperor. I wonder if His Highness the King of E can bear this crime?!”Yang Hui said proudly.
"If you want to add a crime, why worry about not having a reason?" Li Yao said calmly,"Even if Consort Wu Hui framed me for rebellion, I can bear it." Moreover, it was a crime of witchcraft. This crime is really light enough for an unfilial son like me.”
"You! Where did your confidence come from?" The clever Yang Hui had already noticed that something was wrong. He gripped the bars of the cell with both hands and questioned. There was an indescribable fear on his face.
"Confidence? With your current appearance, I don't even need to wear a prison uniform.”Li Yao still said calmly," Just because I'm more handsome than you.”
"More importantly, you are in this cell while Brother Wu Zhong is still out there doing whatever he wants.”
Just as Li Yao and Yang Hui were talking, the head of the prison personally came over to open the cell door for Li Yao and said with a friendly expression,
"Your Highness King E, Eunuch Gao (Gao Lishi) has personally come to receive you. The Emperor wants to summon Your Highness."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way." Li Yao smiled happily.
"Aiyo! No, no! This lowly one will bring Your Highness to see Eunuch Gao.”As he spoke, the prison guard personally helped Li Yao up and patted her down.
"Alright, brother-in-law. Let's stop talking here today. I still have things to do outside. I'll personally send you on your way in two days!”Li Yao waved her hand without looking back.
Yang Hui still had a face full of fear. After seeing Li Yao's figure disappear from the prison cell, he sat weakly on the ground.
That night, as soon as she stepped out of the imperial prison, Li Yao saw Gao Lishi smiling.
"Yo! Eunuch Gao! How could I trouble you to pick me up personally?!”Li Yao cupped her fists and said politely to Gao Lishi.
"That can't be done, Your Highness!" Gao Lishi hurriedly bowed to Li Yao and said,""I didn't expect that His Highness King E's virtuous name would be broadcasted to Chang 'an, and the people of Chang' an would cry for His Highness outside the Imperial City.
The emperor was moved by the people and ordered a thorough investigation of the case. You personally sent me to the palace to meet you!”Gao Lishi said.
"Father is indeed wise and wise!”Li Yao began to flatter Tang Xuanzong in front of Gao Lishi.
"Wise and mighty? Perception? If he had done this back then, he would not have killed the Crown Prince and the Second Prince unjustly.”Li Yao mocked in her heart.
In fact, from the moment Li Yao attacked the Wu brothers that day, she had already predicted that these two people and Consort Wu Hui would not let her go.
The reason why he attacked these two people in front of so many people in the Phoenix Pavilion was also to establish prestige among the people.
"Causing trouble and disturbing the people." To the officials, it might not be a big deal. However, it was not a small matter for the commoners.
The people of Chang 'an and even the wealthy families had been bullied by the Wu brothers for a long time.
If the commoners knew that the Wu brothers had wronged the King of E, who had vented his anger for the commoners, they would be able to kill him.
The consequences could be imagined.
Tang Xuanzong also understood this. Once the hearts of the people turned into a rebellion, it could be said that it would cause trouble.
Therefore, he decided to investigate the case thoroughly, not only to give himself an explanation, but also to the people of Chang 'an and even the world.
Moreover, Li Yao had a trump card in her hand that she had yet to use.
"Yao 'er, I heard that you're doing witchcraft in Phoenix Cabinet. He wanted to harm Consort Hui. Is there such a thing?" Tang Xuanzong asked in a stern voice.
"Father! There was no such thing! Your son was wronged! Imperial Father, please investigate!" Li Yao pretended to be wronged and knelt on the ground.
"Yesterday, son and seventh brother went to Phoenix Cry Tower to play. He saw the brothers Wu Zhong and Wu Xin oppressing the people and causing trouble. Your son was so angry that he beat them up in front of the people. They must have held a grudge in their hearts and framed me!”
"Wu Zhong and Wu Xin, come in!”Tang Xuanzong said loudly.
Just as Tang Xuanzong finished speaking, Gao Lishi walked in with Wu Zhong and Wu Xin.
"Wu Zhong, Wu Xin! Let me ask you two! Were you two the ones who reported King E's witchcraft?!”Tang Xuanzong asked sternly.
"Indeed! It's absolutely true, Your Majesty! The two of us found the items used by King E in the Phoenix Pavilion. Not just Consort Hui's name! There was also the Emperor's name!”Wu Zhong pretended to be shocked.
Wu Zhong snickered in his heart. This time, King E was dead for sure.
What was the use of those commoners? They could not resist the anger of the emperor.
" What?!" Tang Xuanzong stood up from his chair in shock." Wu Zhong! Is that true?"
"It's absolutely true! Emperor! If there's even half a lie, I'm willing to be torn apart by five horses!”Wu Zhong said confidently.
"Bring it up!" The two eunuchs presented Wu Zhong's false testimony to Emperor Xuanzong.
