Chapter 292 The White Moonlight of the Fascinating Heroine in the Book 7

As the most powerful person in the entire Dayan Dynasty, the emperor could easily deal with ordinary people as long as he didn't encounter cheaters like Shi Qing, which was more than enough.

With clues already available, what the second prince had done was quickly discovered by the people sent by the emperor.

After reading the evidence on the table, the emperor rubbed his brows, his eyes dark and unclear.

The second son had always been quite good in his impression. He really didn't expect that what the fourth son had shown before was just the tip of the iceberg, and he had actually done so many things in private.

Colluding with officials, embezzling official funds, raising private soldiers... one by one, they all challenge his authority.

The emperor sat for a while, took a deep breath, and then said to Li Defu, the eunuch in charge at the side: "Go and call the second prince over."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Defu was the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing the emperor's bad expression, although he didn't know what the things and papers on the desk said specifically, he could guess some and hurriedly led people to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The second prince, when he saw Li Defu in the mansion, suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.

In the past few days, the things he did in private seemed to have been discovered by others, and he didn't know how much they discovered. Dealing with those things made him feel physically and mentally exhausted. Looking at Li Defu now, it was obvious that the person who came was evil.

The second prince smiled and asked, "I wonder why father-in-law is here?"

"His Majesty's decree is to invite the Second Prince and our family to come to the palace." Li Defu also answered with a smile.

Hearing that the emperor's father was meeting him, the second prince's bad premonition became stronger.

"My father-in-law, do you know why my father summoned me?"

"We don't dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. Your Highness should come with us as soon as possible. We will know when we see His Majesty." Li Defu still smiled.

"Let's go."

Hearing that Li Defu didn't want to reveal anything, the second prince knew that it was probably not a good thing, but what he never expected was that it could actually kill him.

As soon as he entered the imperial study room and looked at the papers and things on the table at the emperor's request, the second prince's already bad face turned pale.

It’s over! This was the first thought in his mind.

How could the father know? This was the second thought in his mind.

He obviously did it so covertly, how could his father know about it and still find all the evidence without anyone noticing? What should he do?

The second prince thought like this and looked up at the emperor not far away. Seeing the man in a bright yellow dragon robe with a gloomy face, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Father, I was just confused for a moment. I know I was wrong, please punish me."

"Confused for a moment? You have been doing these things for several years."

"I know that I was wrong. It was because I was obsessed for a moment. I was sorry for my father's teachings. I know that I was wrong..."

Seeing his second son kneeling at his feet and begging for mercy, the emperor suddenly felt bored and said lightly: "Qi'er, you disappoint me so much."

The second son, Yan Qi, has been very smart since he was a child, and he handles various things very well in daily life. The emperor originally thought that he would be considered as the heir apparent in the future, but he didn't expect that he couldn't wait and made preparations for that position early. .

Yan Qi saw the emperor's original anger turning into disappointment, and became even more panicked. "Father, it's all my fault. I failed to live up to your expectations. I know I was wrong. Please punish me..."

The emperor did not look at the banquet anymore, but said to Li Defu on the side: "According to my decree, the second prince has violated the etiquette in front of the palace and is confined in the palace. No one is allowed to visit or leave the palace without my order."

Hearing that it was just a grounding, Yan Qi's heart that had been high-spirited was half relieved.

Fortunately, since his crime was not directly announced, he still had a chance to save himself.

Seeing Yan Qi's eyes light up with hope again, the emperor shook his head.

He asked his son to go back first, just because he didn't want to make the matter a big deal and let outsiders see the royal family's jokes and watch the royal father and son kill each other. It would be ridiculous if he thought he could easily get over it.

Yan Qi didn't expect that the matter would be revealed so easily. What he thought was that he could ask his mother-in-law and his maternal grandfather's family to intercede for him, and then there would still be hope. But what he didn't expect was that his punishment would be so Come down soon and be demoted to common people and exiled to Yuzhou.

The person who came to convey the order was Li Defu. Seeing his expressionless expression, it was the first time that Yan Qi did not take into account the etiquette he had learned over the years.

"This is definitely not Father's will, Li Defu, how dare you spread the will indiscriminately." He glared at Li Defu who was holding the imperial edict.

"Your Highness, no, you are now a commoner. Our family does not dare to spread His Majesty's decree indiscriminately. The imperial edict was written by His Majesty himself. Please accept it."

Hearing this, Yan Qi took the imperial edict from his hand.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the imperial edict, the light in his eyes extinguished little by little.

…

Yan Qi could be punished in such a short period of time only because of Shi Qing's hand.

When the fourth prince entered the palace to tell the emperor about the matter, Shi Qing asked Ying Er's people to withdraw.

After learning that the second prince Yanqi was imprisoned by the emperor, he knew that the emperor already knew everything and took action.

The emperor did not choose to announce the second prince's affairs. Shi Qing was not sure what he was thinking and what kind of punishment he wanted to give the second prince, so he simply went to the palace and created a dream for him.

In the dream, he recalled how he felt when he was poisoned by the second prince's people in the original plot. Later, he had a dream from Taizu, saying that the second prince Yanqi was an unlucky person and conflicted with the luck of the royal family. Yanqi did it. Those things, over time, will endanger the foundation of the country.

Fortunately, he discovered it in time and stopped what Yan Qi did, otherwise, Dayan would be in danger.

Finally, the emperor expelled Yan Qi from the royal family and demoted him to a commoner. Shi Qing forced the emperor to swear in his dream, and made some small things after he woke up, so that the emperor completely believed what happened in the dream.

Then, Yan Qi was demoted to a commoner and exiled to a remote Yuzhou.

Now, Yan Qi is out directly. Not to mention competing for that position, even his future life has become a problem. Very good.
