416 Investigation

The Crown Prince, who was still in shock, came back to his senses and immediately ordered the guards to separate the two people fighting.

The crown prince took a deep breath and ordered Ma Ling, “Lord Ma, immediately imprison everyone in the He family in the prison of the supreme court. Without my father’s and my decree, no one is allowed to visit!”

After giving the order, the crown prince waved his hand and turned to leave.

He had to go back and tell the emperor about this. This was definitely a huge scandal.

!!

When the emperor heard the crown prince’s statement, his expression turned very ugly. He was already prepared to abdicate his position. Why were there still so many things unresolved?

Also, this He family was really detestable. They actually did such a heinous thing.

“Yes, we have to investigate!” The emperor gritted his teeth.

In this way, the He family would be found out no matter what.

When Consort Mei realized that the eunuch had not returned to the palace for the entire night, she was a little terrified. She immediately sent someone to ask around. She wanted to know what had happened.

Later, after investigating, she realized that this matter was related to the crown prince. Consort Mei heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that the crown prince had only caught him leaving the palace to interact with her family. It was neither a big nor a small issue. She just had to put in a good word for her in front of the emperor.

However, she did not expect to meet the crown prince as soon as she reached the entrance of the imperial study.

There were a few people following the crown prince. They were holding the prisoners.

In the past, when Consort Mei saw the crown prince’s lineup, she would definitely hide as far away as possible. However, this time, Consort Mei’s feet seemed to have taken root in the ground and she could not move.

This was because she knew the prisoners under the Imperial Guards. They were the eunuchs beside her and her father!

Oh God, what was going on?

Consort Mei pounced on her father and protected him tightly. “Your Highness, what are you doing? Why are you escorting a loyal old minister like a prisoner?”

“Although a new official has to make drastic changes to an organization upon taking charge, you shouldn’t start with the He family. You should investigate those cases!”

Consort Mei spoke without thinking, causing the crown prince to frown.

The emperor’s voice came from the imperial study. “Someone, hold Consort Mei down! Let her hear all the evidence of her father’s crimes!”

Consort Mei was stunned. Evidence of crimes? What was he talking about?

Before Consort Mei could react, the crown prince’s imperial guards immediately came up to grab her and drag her into the imperial study.

The crown prince reported what he had investigated to the emperor. The He family was indeed very unclean. There were people who had plotted to kill the emperor’s heir. In order to have the He family’s bloodline as the next emperor of the Great Yun Nation, they had attacked several princes.

They even wanted to kill the Crown Prince. Wasn’t this a huge crime of rebellion?

The emperor’s expression darkened as he listened, and so did Consort Mei.

“We also investigated the matter of Luzhou. At that time, Lord Liu, who was Princess Mingyue’s maternal grandfather, was also destroyed by him. If we don’t handle it well, I’m afraid…” The crown prince whispered into the emperor’s ear.

The emperor’s expression darkened. At this moment, he wished he could go forward and skin He Shun and his daughter alive. After doing so much, he had almost caused a dispute between the two countries.

“Since this matter is related to Princess Mingyue, Crown Prince, send someone to invite Princess Mingyue and Jiang Ying over,” the emperor said.

He didn’t want to have a headache alone. Consort Mei was right about one thing. A new official had to make drastic changes to an organization upon taking charge.

The Crown Prince was going to ascend the throne. Before he ascended the throne, he had to do something that could intimidate the civil and military officials.

Unfortunately, the He family had run into trouble.

However, the He family deserved it.

Soon, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying were invited over. Seeing the two of them pressed down, Ning Yue frowned and pretended to be surprised.

When Consort Mei saw Ning Yue’s face, her entire body trembled violently. She began to spout nonsense.

The eunuch, who was being escorted by the imperial guards, wished he could go forward and cover Consort Mei’s mouth. Things had already turned out so badly. She had to stop talking nonsense.

However, the guards were very strong. No matter how hard the eunuch struggled, he could not break free from their restraints.

The eunuch was worried that something would happen to Consort Mei and implicate her, so he kept winking at her. However, Consort Mei was so frightened that she could not see.
