The Emperor and Yu Wang left the imperial study and headed for the prison area where Concubine Ming's men were taken by Empress Dowager's shadow guard. On the way, the Emperor announced that Imperial Concubine Ming had been detained in her palace by the Emperor's golden soldiers. The Emperor was very angry when he learned about this scheme made by the concubine from the Su family. This handsome man had tolerated this woman who forced him to betray his queen just because that damn woman was a member of the Su clan.
"Yu Wang, this Emperor will leave the interrogation to you later. This Emperor believes you can handle it well." Yu Fengyan looked towards her little brother, making Yu Wang snort in annoyance.
Yu Fengyao grumbled in his heart because his older brother had casually given orders for the interrogation, even though he could have ordered the head of the Emperor's shadow guard to handle it. This man really didn't want to dirty the new clothes his little wife had bought him just to interrogate the criminal ordered by the evil concubine. Yu Wang had disliked his wife's cousin for a long time, ever since he had a crush on his wife, Yu Fengyao found out a lot about Su Qingyi's past and discovered that many things that hurt his wife were caused by that evil woman. In fact, he had been thinking about how to take care of that woman for a long time, but it turned out that she was causing problems for herself. Well, he didn't have to spend time thinking about how to get rid of that damn woman.
"Alright, this prince will take care of their interrogation." Yu Wang knew that the Emperor would not accept his rejection if he said so. Sometimes the Emperor was as stubborn as an ox.
The Emperor smiled faintly through his anger at hearing the tone of resignation in Yu Wang's response to him. Yu Fengyan knew that her little brother gave up on resisting because he realized the anger burning within him. Although many people thought that Yu Wang was a cold man, Yu Fengyan knew that his younger brother had a lot of patience and a deep, kind heart. Otherwise Yu Wang would not have sacrificed his peaceful and rich life as a prince and gone to war at such a young age just to support himself and their queen mother.
"After finishing handling this matter, this Emperor will give you a gift that you can give to your little wife." The Emperor unknowingly teased Yu Wang.
The Emperor knew that Yu Wang would not be interested if he wanted to give him a gift, but Yu Wang, who was in love with his wife, would definitely be happy to receive a gift for his wife.
"What gift?" Yu Wang looked interested when he heard that the Emperor wanted to give a gift to his little wife.
"Solve this case first." The Emperor did not intend to reveal any information about the gift.
"Well, I hope Brother Emperor won't disappoint my wife with the gift later."
Yu Fengyao looked eager now to handle the case he was going to handle. He would just treat the interrogation of Consort Ming's men like he was interrogating enemy soldiers.
The two noble men walked more quickly towards the prison room which was quite far from the imperial study room. The prison area was located in the outskirts of the large and spacious imperial palace. The Emperor and Yu Wang used the qigong they had to reach the place quickly and took half an hour. Arriving at the gate of the imperial prison, the gate guard who saw the arrival of the two immediately saluted them and knelt down to greet them.
"Get up, open the gate." The Emperor waved and ordered them in a deep and firm voice.
The two gate guards immediately opened the large and heavy gate. These two guards were the elite of the Emperor's golden guards. The people who could stand guard in the imperial prison area were not ordinary guards, they were all elites in the Emperor's golden guard.
After the gate was opened, the Emperor and Yu Wang were immediately greeted by the prison supervisor who was notified of their arrival. Seeing the supervisor who was about to pay his respects, the Emperor waved impatiently. Realizing the Emperor's annoyance, Supervisor Wu immediately led the way to the interrogation area which had been prepared since the arrival of criminals sent from Empress Dowager's shadow guard.
The shadow guards had announced that the criminals would be handled directly by the Emperor and Yu Wang. Listening to their notice, Overseer Wu immediately prepared an interrogation place because he knew that the two noble men would definitely use it to handle all of them.
Supervisor Wu prepared a fairly large interrogation room. In the interrogation room, there were many oil torches placed in every corner of the room, so it was bright at night. The Emperor sat on the bench that had been prepared looking at Consort Ming's two trembling subordinate eunuchs. These two eunuchs were eunuchs brought directly from the Su clan by Concubine Ming. The Emperor didn't care that Concubine Ming wanted to bring some people from the Su Clan because he didn't intend to care about that damn woman's affairs. It's just that he didn't expect that damn woman to be so impatient that she was looking for trouble with his beloved wife.
The Emperor still didn't know what poison Concubine Ming was going to give his wife. The imperial doctors only knew that the poison was very powerful and dangerous. All of them still didn't know what the dangerous poison was for. Their notice made the Emperor want to destroy things. Yu Wang, who saw the great anger on the Emperor's face, felt like he wanted to explode, so he came forward to the two eunuchs.
"Tell this prince, what poison did Concubine Ming give you? Don't try to avoid it. This prince knows that you two have been Concubine Ming's closest subordinates since childhood. You have always accompanied that damn woman since childhood and helped her do many evil things."
Hearing the information that Yu Wang said, the two eunuchs' eyes widened. The two of them had been close to Su Mingmei since childhood, but they didn't expect that Yu Wang knew they were Concubine Ming's confidants. So far, they have only acted like ordinary messengers.
"You are wondering why this prince knows that you are Concubine Ming's trusted eunuchs? That's because this prince is skilled in investigating many things. This prince also knows that you are not eunuchs. People from the Su clan might believe that you have been eunuchs since childhood because Concubine Ming's parents will not allow normal men to be near the daughter they want to be queen. This prince also knows because you are not eunuchs that you already have wives and children in your village. Su Mingmei's family has never investigated the situation in your hometown because they believe you are eunuchs, but this prince investigates. If you provide useful information to this prince, this prince will not touch your family with your crimes. How about it?"
The two eunuchs who listened to Yu Wang's words continued to tremble because the secret that had been hidden by both of them was revealed very clearly. Remembering the family they were hiding from, they both felt very afraid of endangering them all.
"Is it true that the prince won't touch them?" asked one of the eunuchs hopefully.
Yu Wang glanced at the Emperor who winked in approval at his little brother's plan.
"You know that the crime of harming the Imperial family is the murder of the nine clans, right?"
Yu Wang's notification made the two eunuchs pale. They forgot about this when they tried to help Concubine Ming poison the Queen. They were so used to helping Su Mingmei's evil works that they forgot that the person she wanted to harm was no longer an ordinary person. The one Su Mingmei wanted to harm was the Emperor's wife.
When the two fake eunuchs were lost in fear of the annihilation of their entire family, Yu Wang's voice called them back.
"Of course, if you tell Concubine Ming's mistakes honestly, the Emperor might lighten the punishment for your family."
"Can our family be allowed to live?" asked one of the Eunuchs.
"This Emperor can forgive your family but not you."
Hearing the Emperor's promise, the two eunuchs cried in relief. They knew long ago that they would not survive, but at least their family would live.
