Chapters. 87 Imprisoning Empress Xiao

But this Empress Xiao was also too high-minded of herself. And consider the people who are there today as weak.

While he also did not know if they had all also reached the same realm even higher one level above him.

Moreover, they are all units of military forces that are trusted and elected from all military forces and imperial soldiers so they cannot be just mediocre abilities.

Clearly doing regular training both physically and in the style and also their element.

So it could not compare to the ability of the Empress who had never trained and only focused on cultivating without knowing balancing her basic strength.

With his basic abilities that would become the strongest foundation for his strength.

"What's wrong with me? Why can't I attack them using the power of skill or element I have?" the Empress Dowager murmured feeling depressed for not managing to break away from the two officers who were holding her back.

"It's impossible for all of them to know the secret regarding my current cultivation level? since I had hidden it using the ancestral jade given by Yao'er, so they couldn't possibly know about it. Then what's going on right now? why can't I use all my power? something must be wrong, but how is it possible?" empress Xiao said in her confused mind.

Meanwhile, the Empress Emperor was still trying to escape from the two people who were holding her back.

even He had directed all of his abilities but it was useless. It still failed.

Commander Xuan Yu Ming who saw the overreaction of the Empress this time became very suspicious of what was inside the wooden box the Second Prince was holding.

"What's up, Your Majesty? Why do you lose your cool when you see this box!? Is there a big secret in it? Well then let's just open it and see together what exactly is the contents of this box of His Majesty Empress Xiao," Prince Huo Juan Zi said flatly and coldly.

"No, don't do it!! Give me back the box! You all have no right to know the contents inside. How dare you steal and take things from my palace. Where is this courage that you have, that you dare not give any honor to this Empress. All of you are really presumptuous and do not know yourself" cried Empress Xiao with a very dark aura of anger.

While Eunuch Bao who heard the words of the Empress Emperor felt that he could not stand it anymore.

“Your Majesty, maybe you misunderstood all of them, then I will remind you again so that Your Majesty the Empress can understand that they are here to do her duty, to investigate and also look for evidence of the case they are currently handling. And it has been explained also in the Decree of the Emperor, any person who rejects and abandons from this Court process then, that person and the rest of his Family Clan will be branded as the rebels of the Empire and will also be punished according to a rebel before all the people of this Wuxi Empire.” The eunuch Bao said at length to remind the Empress.

Especially reminding that Empress Xiao's current status is a suspect in a crime case.

But even so the Eunuch Bao still used delicate and polite words.

Because given the status of his interlocutor was still an Emperor Empress.

"But...! Not that I don't mean it. It's just that they also have no right to do.." Empress Xiao's remark stopped because it was cut by someone.

"We are members of the military and also the Minister of Imperial Law who has full authority to crack down on a crime and never look at the high or low status of a person, but wrong or not the person. So don't expect us to treat someone as suspect as you with distinction" Commander Xuan Yu Ming said.

"How dare you, boast before me, who is an Empress of this Emperor!!" empress Xiao's.

"It seems that Her Highness Empress Xiao is currently also unaware of the state of the Xiao Family Clan, the current one both the Core Family and the Branch Family of your entire Xiao Clan have fallen and been detained in the Yamen Bureaucratic Court for being caught as the mastermind and also the perpetrator of the extermination of the ten-year-old Zhao Clan the past. and all of it is related to the Emperor's Decree that you have forged, Her Majesty Empress Xiao!" the word Kasim Bao is full of insinuations.

As soon as Empress Xiao who heard the words of the Emperor's eunuch became speechless.

He was so completely out of control that he forgot that they had high authority due to the Official Decree of the Emperor.

And even now Empress Xiao was struck by a terrible bolt of lightning when she heard what the eunuch of the Emperor believed about her family.

Suddenly he lost all his strength so he immediately fell limp because he seemed unable to stand up.

After knowing the truth if his crime 10 years ago has been exposed.

Even his entire Xiao Clan had actually been detained. And maybe soon it will be destroyed.

Until finally the Empress could only stay silent and think of plans and ways to save herself from the current situation.

Even the Empress also remembered that the Son was merely his puppet since this morning had not visited him.

And now Empress Xiao began to worry again, thinking about whether the Crown Prince had experienced something similar with him or if something else was holding him back so that he could not come to his aid at this time.

While on the other hand the Second Prince and Commander Xuan Yu Ming who had previously only focused on the box found by one of the Investigator officers from the Wuxi District Court earlier.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, this... Haahh, I never thought, that the figure of the first lady who had always looked kind and graceful when outside was able to do all this and hide it very closely,"said Commander Xuan Yu Ming who seemed to be unable to believe what he saw.

"Yes, in the future we should not believe in the appearance of someone who looks good and weak. It is precisely this that will be a source of destruction for us" the Second Prince responded to the Commander.

This is new evidence of the crimes committed by Empress Xiao. And his crime is no joke.

Because what's inside are some scrolls of letters that say about the hidden military forces on the slopes of the southwest Shang Wu mountain.

An identity deed of Crown Prince Hou Lin Jin who is actually his illegitimate son along with Grand Prince Hou Sun Yao, the Uncle to all Princes and Daughters of Emperor Hou Yuan Yu's descendants.

And some of the poison that was once used to poison the Emperor Consort and also the poison used to poison the Emperor and the poison booster.

And there are also many debts and also receipts of evidence of corruption of State Officials and Regional Officials to provide and supply power to the members of their hidden military forces who will they decided to stage a coup against the Emperor.

And even more astonishing to them was a porcelain bottle containing a pill that was pitch-black.

All they knew was that it was a forbidden pill used by every couple who performed a double cultivation ritual.

With this discovery really made them not dare to think about how His Majesty the Emperor would give this punishment for treason and rebellion later.

While the Second Prince and Commander Xuan Yu Ming were stunned to see all the evidence before them.

Now again surprised by the fall of a larger box again from the roof.

And what makes the two of them frown again is the presence of the same distinctive symbol as what was in the arrow earlier.

Seeing that they both looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

Not waiting any longer, they both finally returned to see what was the contents of the box sent by the Black Star Mafia.

"His Highness this Prince...."

"Yes, again they have helped us to uncover all that" Prince Huo Juan Zi said in response to the unfinished words of the Commander.

After the two of them finished looking at the entire contents of the box thrown from the roof earlier.

The content inside the box made the two of them dumbfounded. Because the contents in it is an identity deed from all members of the military forces owned by the Empress and her Son and also the Grand Prince to carry out a coup that amounted to 2000 troops.

There is even a list of names of State Officials and Regional Officials who commit corruption to the Empress.

In addition, there are still several deed of ownership of residential assets, shops and vacant land in the name of the Empress and also Grand Prince Hou Sun Yao as a result of the corruption of the officials, and also some scrolls of evidence of the crimes of Grand Prince Hou Sun Yao to smooth out the plan and the path for the Crown Prince to occupy the throne.

And one of them is evidence of the embezzlement of the military weapons that were alleged to former Vice General Chen Zhang Wen as well as the troops that ambushed the former Imperial healer that was physician Liu and even the army that dared to die having the tiger symbol infiltrate the General's family residence to eliminate Yun Xue Ruo before the investigation was conducted.

No less astounding for the Second Prince is the murder case of Consort Ming who is the Mother of Sixth Prince Huo Lin Wu who has been nurtured and raised by his mother and is currently also very close with him and his fourth brother.

And even the Empress still wanted to frame her Grand Consort's Mother on charges of poisoning the other emperor's concubines by sending a servant.

Which is actually the ministry is one of the Emissaries of Empress Xiao herself.

And there is much more evidence of other cases.

Even second Prince Huo Juan Zi and Commander Xuan Yu Ming were perplexed, how could those members of the Black Star Mafia get this much evidence? In a very short time.

And the latter also found the same pills and jade pairs as those in the box belonging to Empress Xiao earlier.

Finally they were both Prince Huo Juan Zi and Commander Xuan Yu Ming able to conclude if the cultivation partner of the Empress Emperor was Grand Prince Huo Sun Yao.

Looking at all of that, they decided to immediately end this investigation.

Because they knew that the Empress was very good at keeping secrets and evidence, so they decided to immediately follow up on the case and take the Empress to the underground custody.

They were also no longer adhering to the rule of the Emperor who said he had to take the Empress well into custody.

Instead of directly making Empress Xiao faint, and then cover her with a sheet of blankets and then they take her to the underground prisoners.

Because if it doesn't, it will never work out well. Because the Empress always rebelled wanting to be released.
