Chapter 550 - 552: The Emperor Faints from Anger
In the Imperial Study Room, The Emperor, seeing the memorial and the stack of evidence in his hands, threw them onto the ground in anger.
"Are these investigations you conducted indeed true?" The Emperor’s authoritative voice echoed.
The Minister of Justice hesitated slightly, but only for a moment. He then knelt down solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, everything I have investigated is true, without a fraction of falsehood."
When he had received all the evidence, he too was slightly stunned, never expecting that the mastermind behind the scenes would be the imprisoned Second Prince.
He too had hesitated and doubted, even considering for a moment. Could it be that the Crown Prince wanted to eliminate the Second Prince and thus shifted all blame onto him?
But then, he thought it unlikely, as the Second Prince no longer posed a threat to the Crown Prince. It was more likely that the Second Prince had intended to harm the Crown Prince but inadvertently harmed the Fourth Prince instead.
However, he did not know that from the beginning, Pei Chengye’s intended target had been Pei Jingyi.
The Emperor clutched his chest tightly, his vision blurred before he started coughing violently. Seeing the fresh blood on his hands, he passed out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Imperial Physician, summon the Imperial Physician quickly!" Eunuch Li cried out in panic.
Judge Zhang immediately hurried over with his people to check The Emperor’s pulse.
Eunuch Li and the Minister of Justice waited anxiously. Seeing him withdraw his hand, they asked, "How is The Emperor?"
