Chapter 387 Physical Evidence
After a moment of silence, he sighed softly and said, "Xiaoyu, if that's the case, then you should take a good rest and don't overwork yourself and hurt your body. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned and left, his steps seeming a little heavy.
As Qin Ci'an left, Chu Ziyu raised his head and stared at his receding back with complicated eyes.
At this moment, Qin Ci'an felt as if a piece of his heart had been dug out, leaving him feeling extremely empty and uncomfortable. The sour and swollen feeling spread from his heart to his limbs.
He also knew that the emperor had long regarded the Xiao Palace as a thorn in his side, and it was either you die or I die. It was no use to give in blindly.
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative. Qin Ci'an clenched his fists, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that this road must be full of murderous intentions, but he had no choice.
In the ancestral hall of Prince Xiao’s mansion, candles were lit all night, and a figure also knelt all night.
The old King Xiao died on the battlefield without leaving a single word, but Qin Ci'an knew that his father had always been a man of few words, and he did not want to be branded a rebel.
Early the next morning, Qin Ci'an walked out of the ancestral hall. The sunlight shining on him could not dispel the coldness around him.
Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Although on the surface, Xiaowang Mansion was still as peaceful as before, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
But in fact, only Chu Ziyu knew clearly that through the secret investigation of 6872, he learned that Qin Ci'an was not only instigating rebellion in the court and the country, but he had also quietly assembled a large number of troops in secret and was preparing for an earth-shaking rebellion.
Half a month later, at noon, the originally peaceful and tranquil Xiaowang Mansion was suddenly broken by a loud noise. Only the sound of footsteps and the sound of weapons colliding could be heard outside the door.
Then, a large group of fully armed officers and soldiers poured into the palace like a tide. They were accompanied by a gorgeous sedan chair, and the leading eunuch shouted in a sharp and piercing voice: "According to the emperor's order, Xiao Wangfu is colluding with the enemy and treason, and the palace is now searched! No mistakes!"
Commander Xiao, who led the team, said, "Search."
Qin Ci'an was well prepared. He stood calmly in the middle of the courtyard, watching the soldiers pouring in.
Chang Feng quickly came to his side and whispered, "My Lord, what should we do now?"
Qin Ci'an shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't need to panic.
When Commander Xiao saw Qin Ci'an, he said in a deep voice, "Your Highness Prince Xiao, I'm sorry."
Then the officers and soldiers began to search everywhere.
Most of the officers and soldiers rushed to the study, while the remaining small group scattered around the palace, pretending to conduct a search.
Soon, a letter like the one in the previous life was handed to Commander Xiao. Commander Xiao looked at the letter and smiled triumphantly, "Your Highness, the evidence is here. What else do you have to say?"
Qin Ci'an just smiled faintly, "Commander Xiao, you haven't even opened this evidence, how can you prove that this is physical evidence?"
Just as Commander Xiao was slightly stunned, a majestic and low voice suddenly came from the gorgeously decorated sedan chair beside him: "Jingyan, go forward and read it. In case His Royal Highness Xiao Wang refuses to plead guilty."
As the words fell, the whole scene instantly became silent. Everyone held their breath and focused their eyes on Jinyan who was standing next to the sedan chair.
After hearing the emperor's order, he first bowed respectfully towards the sedan chair, and then walked forward steadily.
He took the letter from Commander Xiao.
