Prince Jing was not very clear-headed at this time, and even when he was sober, he would not be very smart. Now that he was fooled by Lin Yiping, he instantly felt that it made sense.
"But now all the evidence points to Daoping. If he was able to poison my father this time, he might do it again next time. By then, wouldn't I be the culprit?"< br />
Fortunately, although he was moved, he still retained a trace of reason. Once something goes wrong in this kind of thing, it would be doomed.
"Your Highness is right to think so, but if you think about it again, Daoping is an old man over two hundred years old, why would he care about such mundane things? From what I see, this matter is absolutely There is something fishy, Daoping must have been framed, he is just a Taoist priest, what bad things can he do?"
Lin Yiping tried his best to persuade, and Prince Jing was actually convinced by his words.
Yes, a person who has lived for two hundred years should have already looked down on the common things in this world. He may just be at ease and want to study how to live longer. As for the emperor's poisoning Things really need to be considered.
“Brother Yiping’s analysis seems to make some sense.”
“That’s natural! He is just a Taoist priest. If there is anything wrong with that, he just A poisonous elixir was sent to the emperor. Who would be so stupid as to blatantly send poison? What's more, he had managed to live for more than two hundred years. How could he suddenly lose his mind and do something that was obviously a way to commit suicide? ? He must have been wronged!"
Lin Yiping became more and more excited as he spoke, and the smile on his face was very bright, which made Prince Jing feel that Lin Yiping was really planning for him and looking for a future for him.
Seeing King Jing becoming more and more shaken, he continued: "Your Highness, think about it, whoever opposed this matter the most from the beginning is the most likely to be the initiator, and we only need to put this Catching the culprit will prove Daoping's innocence, and at the same time gain the emperor's trust. In this way, can you surpass the prince in the emperor's heart?"
Lin Yiping deliberately drew the fire on King Chen, As expected, Prince Jing was fooled.
"Isn't it obvious who is the culprit? A few days ago, the third son went to the palace to slander Daoping and was punished by his father. Now his father is poisoned. God How could there be such a coincidence down there?"
Prince Jing immediately figured it out and repeated: "Yes, yes, the third child must have framed Daoping for this matter! He just ate too much to support himself. Yes, why do you have to argue with a Taoist priest? Humph, I will go to the palace to see my father now and let my father know that it was the third child who poisoned him. In this way, I don’t have to fight with the third child, and my father will I can deal with him directly!"
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He felt that King Chen was indeed stupid in this matter, but it didn't matter, as long as it was beneficial to him.
Thinking that he would be able to bring King Chen down soon, he could not restrain his excitement!
As he said this, he was about to walk out, not considering that he would have to enter the palace to meet the saint in the middle of the night.
Lin Yiping grabbed him and said: "Your Highness is still the same, always so impatient. Don't worry, we still have to plan what to say to convince the emperor, instead of this Acting recklessly. Besides, our rescue of Daoping this time cannot be in vain. We must let Daoping know and let him feel grateful, so that he can be used by His Highness in the future."
"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't even think of this! I was impatient and listened to Brother Yiping!"
Prince Jing nodded in agreement, admiring Lin Yiping in his heart and thanking him very much for coming over to give him advice in the middle of the night. .
What they didn’t know was that when Lin Yiping entered Prince Jing’s residence, he had already been seen and reported to Prince Chen and Lu Baichuan.
"In your opinion, what will they discuss?"
King Chen looked at Lu Baichuan and wanted to hear his thoughts.
Lu Baichuan did not answer immediately, but pondered for a while, and then said: "Lin Yiping has always presented himself as an idle young man, and his relationship with Prince Jing was just a gentlemen's friendship. After breaking into Prince Jing's palace, he obviously couldn't calm down anymore. Now he went to find Prince Jing, and he must have asked Prince Jing to help solve Daoping's matter."
"I have occasionally followed Lin Yiping before. Seeing him going to meet with Prince Jing, when the two talked about Daoping, Prince Jing called Daoping "Yao Dao" and looked very disdainful. It should have nothing to do with Daoping's matter before, but Lin Yiping vaguely mentioned it Prince Jing is a little tempted to ask Prince Jing to cooperate with Daoping."
"If I go to see Prince Jing tonight, it will most likely lead to trouble for His Highness. Prince Jing is simple-minded and will definitely fall into the trap. , In this case, His Highness's situation will be in danger."
That said, but looking at Lu Baichuan's appearance, he was not in a hurry, and even looked like he had a chance to win.
King Chen nodded repeatedly as he listened to his analysis. What Lu Baichuan said was almost the same as what he thought, and many of them were even unexpected by him, but he said it in just a short time. .
"Alas, I don't know who the sixth child is. He was sold by someone and helped him count the money. After all, he is a half-brother. I don't want him to be betrayed all the time. People take advantage of him."
Lu Baichuan nodded and said: "Then let him have a long memory."
Early the next morning, Prince Jing got up early He was preparing to enter the palace, and just as he was about to go out, he heard the servants in the palace secretly discussing Daoping's affairs.
He vaguely heard something and feltSensing that something was wrong, he called people over and asked, "What are you talking about? What happened outside?"
The servants shivered and did not dare to speak for a long time.
King Jing became more and more angry and said: "I want you to speak! The one at the end, you say it!"
"Yes, yes..."
The servant spoke in a trembling voice: "Just...just...just..."
"Speak nicely!"
Prince Jing was very impatient. Kicked the person to the ground with one kick: "If you don't speak politely, I will cut off your tongue and sell it!"
"Your Highness, calm down, please speak politely!"
The servant was so excited that he no longer trembled when he spoke.
"Early this morning, His Highness King Chen made the arrest of Master Daoping public to the public and led the Taoist priests to parade. All those Taoist priests said that Master Daoping didn't really live to be two hundred years old. It’s fake, it’s a liar! His Highness King Chen also asked the imperial physician to examine Daoping Zhenren and said that his body was that of a mature man and could not be that of someone who had lived for two hundred years!”
“ He is not a serious Taoist priest. He never talks about Taoism and Dharma in Taoist temples. He spends every day thinking about how to defraud the emperor of his money!"
"This little kid only knows so much. Please forgive me, Your Highness. Ah!”
As he spoke, he kowtowed, and blood soon began to flow from his forehead. It seemed that he was really afraid of being betrayed.
As a slave, you have no right to make decisions about your own life.
Prince Jing was stunned. Is Daoping fake?
Is this all a scam?
"Come here, go and call all the people who were stationed at the Taoist temple last night. I want to ask you clearly!"
