These people held low ranks, but they all had the ability to come into close contact with the Crown Prince.

For example, Gu Wenhan, the Book Corrector from the Scripture Bureau, was responsible for organizing and proofreading the books and codes that the Crown Prince read daily.

Zheng Tianxing, a clerk from the Inner Straight Bureau, had only one duty, which was to grind ink for the Crown Prince.

Wu Zongguang from Dining, He Dong from Pharmacy, and Xu Zhi from Mansion were even able to directly handle the Crown Prince's daily clothing and food.

And those female officials from the Inner Palace, who needed to attend to the Crown Prince and the concubines closely, could come into contact with the Crown Prince nearly every day.

The former Chief of Palace Garden from the Inner Palace, Xie Xiaoyu, who was secretly arrested by the Spiegel Bureau, revealed that Lin Fuzhi, the Junior Chief Steward from the Chief Steward Mansion of the Eastern Palace, had instructed her to spread a certain powder on the flowers in the concubines' rooms.

She was the Chief of Palace Garden, responsible for the palace gardens within the Inner Palace. One of her duties was to pick the freshest flowers daily, arrange them, and place them in the concubines' rooms.

This powder was non-toxic and colorless and odorless; normal people would not have any noticeable reaction upon contact.

However, the Crown Prince himself suffered from a lung disease, and frequent contact with this powder could exacerbate his condition, to the extent that not even the Imperial Physician could detect the cause.

Moreover, the Imperial Physician at the Crown Prince Mansion had also been bought off by them through certain means.

Gu Wenhan, Wu Zongguang, and the other female officials who died, couldn't provide evidence, but it was not hard to surmise that they were doing the same as Xie Xiaoyu.

These people were closely related to the Crown Prince's daily life and could carry out their tasks without anyone being the wiser.

To harm the Crown Prince in this way was a very lengthy process. Because of this, no one suspected anything, thinking that the Crown Prince had died of his lung disease.

In fact, the Crown Prince did die of his lung disease.

But without them, the Crown Prince's lung disease might not have been fatal.

If Lin Fuzhi, the Capital Governor, was involved in this affair, and King Han was in cahoots with him, then he surely was not innocent.

As for King You, Li Nuo could only speculate without direct evidence.

Based on those names that had been circled, Zhao He, the Chief of Palace Garden from the Ministry of Rites, must have discovered the plot and intended to inform King You, but he was killed because of it.

Hence, Li Nuo dared to assert that King You definitely had a hand in the affair from years ago.

Li Nuo didn't understand why Lin Fuzhi, who at a young age already occupied a high position as the Junior Chief Steward of the Eastern Palace, would betray the Crown Prince and instead align with King Han. He also had no idea how they managed to persuade so many people to conspire against the Crown Prince back then, but he had to admit their plan was perfect.

For ten whole years, no one detected anything amiss.

Even Li Nuo himself, who had previously investigated several cases, never connected them to this case.

Until he entered the Honglu Si and by chance attended Wu Zongguang's funeral, did he finally notice something amiss, reminded by the Law Code...

It had to be said, they were quite adept at staging accidental deaths.

Without the Law Code, Li Nuo would not have noticed anything unusual at all.

Perhaps this was a case of "the more you do, the more mistakes you make."

The matter itself was worthy of the extermination of nine kinships; even if they were not executed, they would not dare to reveal the slightest bit of information. In their haste to silence others, they only created more and more mistakes, ending up in a complete loss...

After fully understanding the entire affair, King Chun heaved a long sigh and said, "For the sake of the throne, to cause such strife among brothers, it truly is a sin..."

Officials from the Imperial Censorate in the Ministry of Justice, upon receiving the imperial decree, hurried over.

However, by the time they arrived, everything here had already ended.

Hearing the details from Li Nuo, everyone found it hard to believe their own ears.

The death of the Crown Prince was actually plotted by King Han and King You?

Before they could recover from their shock, they heard King Chun's sigh.

They looked at King Chun with a gaze difficult to describe.

Among all the princes, King Chun was the one with the least background; he had no powerful maternal family, no courtiers on his side, nor support from famous families. Yet it was he who reached his current position.

King Han and King You, in order to claim the throne, were willing to conspire against the Crown Prince; for over a decade, they fought bitterly in court.

Even if His Majesty did not execute them, both would be completely cut off from succession to the throne.

Those who most desired the throne were the first to be eliminated.

King Chun, who always smiled and never actively struggled for anything, somehow became the Eldest Imperial Prince and the first in line to the Daxia throne.

Perhaps this is what they mean by "fortune favors fools."

King Chun finally noticed the presence of these people and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Censorate were there by decree of the two Prime Ministers to arrest the Minister of Justice.

The previous wave of people sent to arrest the Minister of Justice had already entered the Ministry of Justice.

The Imperial Censor waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, we were just passing by, taking a casual look..."

At this moment.

In the Ministry of Justice.

Within a spacious and clean prison cell.

King Han and King You, their crowns removed, were locked in the same cell, sitting on the edge of the bed, both silent.

They had considered that today's purge of the court might fail.

But they never imagined failing in this manner.

Defeated utterly, with no chance of turning the situation around.

The prison door opened from the outside, and a figure slowly walked in. King You looked intently at Li Xuanjing and asked, "Was this all your plan, Li Xuanjing? You're truly vicious!"

Since Li Xuanjing had already obtained evidence of the Eastern Palace case from years ago, they never stood a chance at purging the court as long as Li Xuanjing reported to the Father Emperor.

Considering the intelligence capabilities of the Spiegel Bureau, he couldn't possibly have been unaware of their activities these past days.
