PDLP Chapter 434: The Corpse of the Second Prince
Chapter 434: The Corpse of the Second Prince
"He should have been killed by Princess Lianhe." Ji Chilian connected this series of events together.
Princess Lianhe deliberately lured him here, probably because she wanted to link Bei Jiye's death to him.
If he hadn't called Shen Yaosi here today, then no one would be able to prove that Bei Jiye died before he entered the secret room.
At that time, as long as Princess Lianhe says that he suspects the Second Prince of kidnapping Yi Qianhuan and therefore kills him, the Emperor will definitely stand on Princess Lianhe's side.
After all, the emperor had already developed a fear of him and was worried that he had no reason to suppress him.
It doesn’t matter who killed Bei Jiye. As long as he loses his composure due to desperation, he will fall into Princess Lianhe’s trap and be successfully executed by the Emperor.
"This woman is so cruel." Shen Yaosi valued the relationship between brothers the most. He could not understand Princess Lianhe, and his face looked even colder. "But I don't understand why Princess Lianhe went to so much trouble to make such a scene? If she simply wanted to harm you, there was no need for her to kill Bei Jiye, right?"
Bei Ji Ye is different from other princes. He does not care about worldly affairs and does not fight for the throne. No matter how big Princess Lianhe's ambitions are, Bei Ji Ye will not interfere with her affairs.
If that was the case, why would she take the risk and kill Bei Jiye with her own hands just to frame Ji Chilian?
"You're right. If I don't fall for it and the truth is exposed, she will suffer a great loss. Unless, her original plan was not like this, but an accident led to Bei Jiye's death. In order to make all this happen, she can only take the risk to come and plot against me. If the plot succeeds, Bei Jiye's death will be inseparable from me. If the plot fails, I don't have any evidence to prove that she killed the person, and she can still delay for a while." Ji Chilian said, already searching in the secret room, "See if there are any other clues."
Everyone began to search carefully in the secret room.
When Lin Tong moved an inconspicuous stone aside, he immediately found words written in blood on the ground under the stone, "Master Du, there is a letter written in blood here!"
Ji Chilian and Shen Yaosi walked over together.
By the light of the torches, they could see that the handwriting was Bei Jiye's.
Bei Jiye was actually locked in this secret room for a whole month.
And all of this started because he did not promise to help Princess Lianhe.
As early as three months ago, Princess Lianhe had already begun plotting to murder Yi Qianhuan.
However, she was not targeting Yi Qianhuan's life at the beginning, but just wanted to destroy her innocence.
And the partner she was looking for was Bei Jiye.
Originally, Princess Lianhe thought that Bei Ji Ye was pleased with Qian Huan and would immediately agree to her request for cooperation.
But Princess Lianhe never expected that Bei Jiye not only refused sternly, but also firmly stated that he would inform the emperor and Yi Qianhuan about this matter.
Princess Lianhe did not expect Bei Jiye to resist so much. In anger, she chose to imprison Bei Jiye and tortured him to force him to cooperate.
Bei Ji Ye never gave in and wrote down all of Princess Lian He's plans.
During this month, he was tortured. In his spare time, he analyzed Princess Lianhe's plan based on the clues she provided, and deduced several places where Princess Lianhe might be hiding Yi Qianhuan.
After this month, Bei Ji Ye realized that Princess Lianhe had already turned into a complete lunatic.
All the good and gentle behavior his sister had shown before was just a disguise.
She was madly jealous of Yi Qianhuan, and all of this broke out after Ji Chilian and Yi Qianhuan got engaged.
Her purpose is definitely not as simple as killing Yi Qianhuan.
Shen Yaosi looked at the blood letter left by Bei Jiye and felt a great shock in his heart.
Bei Jiye did not give in until the end.
That's why he was tortured and killed by Princess Lianhe in such a tragic way.
"There is one last line of words here. Ji Chilian, this is what the second prince wrote to you." When Shen Yaosi read to the end, his eyes darkened and he sighed.
Ji Chilian looked over.
Those were the last words Bei Jiye left behind. Judging from the time, those should be the last words Bei Jiye wrote after being tortured in the dark secret room for a whole month.
'Save the God of the Country, don't let her know about this.'
Ji Chilian's fingers gently stroked these words, then he stood up and walked towards Bei Jiye's body.
Bei Jiye's eyelids were cut off, and he would not be able to close his eyes even if he died.
Ji Chilian took out a handkerchief and covered Bei Jiye's eyes with it. "I obey your orders. Someone, send the Second Prince away."
The Jinyiwei found a stretcher and carried Bei Jiye's body out of the secret room.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Chilian quickly ordered people to seal off and protect the scene, and also sent people to investigate the place where Bei Jiye had deduced that Yi Qianhuan was hiding, and sent the news of Bei Jiye's tragic death at the hands of Princess Lianhe back to the palace.
A sleepless night passed quickly.
Bei Yunting received the news from Ji Chilian, but did not order any punishment for Princess Lianhe. Even the news of Bei Jiye's tragic death was not leaked from the palace.
Ji Chilian had no time to enter the palace, so he left the capital to investigate the places that Bei Jiye had guessed might be where Yi Qianhuan might be hiding.
He traveled with Shen Yaosi, and the two were busy for three days.
Three days passed and there was no news about Yi Qianhuan.
The entire National Divine Palace was in a panic and went to the palace several times to ask Bei Yunting to order an investigation into Princess Lianhe.
But they didn't get any response for three days.
Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao tried every possible way to get the news and worked almost non-stop for three days.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Yi Mobao woke up at the table.
He opened his eyes drowsily and looked at the pile of maps and information on the table. Then he remembered that he had not slept for two days and had been looking for his mother's whereabouts, so he accidentally fell asleep on the table.
Also sleeping was Shen Yubao beside him.
Yi Mobao looked at the bruises under Shen Yubao's eyes and felt very distressed. He carefully took the cloak and wanted to cover Shen Yubao with it.
His movements were very gentle, but they still woke Shen Yubao up.
"Mother!" Shen Yubao suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Yi Mobao tightly.
When Shen Yubao saw Yi Mobao clearly, his eyes suddenly dimmed: "Mobao, have you found your mother?"
Yi Mobao felt a sharp pain in his heart and shook his head: "Not yet."
"What about the palace? Is there any news from the palace? Didn't Princess Lianhe kill the second prince? The second prince's blood letter stated that she was the culprit. Why doesn't the emperor arrest her?" Shen Yubao became more and more excited as he spoke.
It has been three days, and during these three days he has felt unprecedented torment.
The mother he had finally found had been missing for three days because of Princess Lianhe's jealousy.
He was extremely anxious and wanted to rush to the princess's mansion to kill Princess Lianhe.
But he was also afraid that if something happened to Princess Lianhe, his mother would never come back!
"Yubao, why don't we go into the palace. It's no use waiting here. Let's go to the palace and ask to see the emperor and ask him to make the decision." Yi Mobao said.
Shen Yubao's eyes lit up first, then he shook his head: "But I think it's useless for us to go."
