Princess Qin was in disbelief and stood up suddenly: "Let the messenger come, and I will ask him personally!"
Zhu Yao and Wu also looked shocked.
The King of Qin was already in his forties, and the King of Han was already in his twenties. Why did he act like a young boy? Still under the eyes of Emperor Long'an!
There was so much trouble that Eunuch Zhao returned to his home to bring in reinforcements!
After a while, a chamberlain came in with a panic look. He knelt down and kowtowed three times: "I have seen the princess, the prince, and the prince."
Princess Qin didn't have time to understand these common etiquette, and asked with a cold face: "What happened to Your Highness in the palace?"
The chamberlain did not dare to raise his head and replied tremblingly: "In reply to the princess, Your Highness entered the palace today and waited in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for two hours."
"After His Highness the King of Han met with the Emperor, he went to the side hall to talk to His Highness. Without saying a few words, His Highness started fighting with His Highness the King of Han..."
King Qin was the eldest among the princes, and he was the most respected by the emperor in the past. This time, due to the case of Langzhong Wu, he was in disgrace and was humiliated several times by Emperor Long'an. This time, King Qin was even left in the dark for half a day.
The king of Han deliberately went to ridicule him. With the temper of the king of Qin, how could he bear it, so he directly beat the king of Han.
The King of Han was not someone who was easily bullied. He was the youngest son favored by the emperor, and with the support of Concubine Cao in the harem, it would be good if he did not bully others. As soon as the King of Qin made a move, the King of Han retaliated without saying a word.
The King of Qin was very skilled, but the King of Han was stronger and stronger than him. In just a dozen rounds, the King of Qin received a punch in the face, and the King of Han was also kicked by the King of Qin.
It was only after the royal guards from the Hall of Supreme Harmony were ordered to rush into the side hall that the two noble princes were separated.
Emperor Long'an was very angry and did not allow the imperial doctors to treat the injuries of King Qin and King Han, and ordered them to kneel outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Concubine Cao Guifei was in the harem. She quickly got the news and rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to plead for mercy. After crying for a while, Emperor Long'an softened slightly and let Concubine Cao take away the King of Han.
King Qin was unlucky and kept kneeling outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Therefore, if a child has a mother, someone will love it. If a child does not have a biological mother, even a prince will have to suffer such cowardice.
Eunuch Zhao secretly sent someone back to Prince Qin's Mansion to deliver the letter, and his meaning was very obvious.
Princess Qin must enter the palace immediately.
Princess Qin was very anxious and said to Zhu Yao: "I will enter the palace right now."
Zhu Yao blurted out without thinking: "I will go with my mother and concubine."
Princess Qin was helpless. With her son by her side, she felt more at ease and nodded without thinking.
Wu moved her lips, wanting to say something, but then swallowed it back.
The case of Wu Langzhong was widely implicated. Mr. Wu Ge was also involved. The King of Qin secretly colluded with officials to protect Mr. Wu Ge. Although Emperor Long'an ordered Mr. Wu Ge to return to the court, he was not happy at all and took this opportunity to attack the King of Qin.
In the final analysis, this is all the fault of the Wu family. How could the Wu family have the nerve to speak at this time?
…
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is majestic and solemn, and the guards with long swords on their waists have sharp eyes.
King Qin knelt outside the palace.
The sun was shining brightly, and after kneeling for a long time, my knees were so painful that they were almost numb. The beads of sweat on my forehead fell from my forehead drop by drop, my face turned red, and my vision gradually blurred.
The last time he was made to kneel was when he was young. Now he is a grandfather in his forties, and he was still made to kneel outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was both humiliating and embarrassing.
What chilled him even more was Emperor Long'an's obvious dissatisfaction with him.
Familiar footsteps sounded behind him.
"Your Highness!"
"Father!"
Princess Qin's voice was choked with sobs, while Zhu Yao's voice was urgent.
King Qin was a little dizzy, so he cheered up and turned around to look: "Why are you here?"
Princess Qin wiped her eyes with her sleeves, knelt beside King Qin, and whispered: "Eunuch Zhao asked someone to send a letter back to the palace. Only then did I know that His Highness had been wronged in the palace..."
King Qin frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!"
By saying this, doesn't it mean that you are resentful towards the emperor?
Princess Qin also knew that she had made a mistake and immediately shut up.
Concubine Cao could enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony and plead with Emperor Long'an in tears. As the daughter-in-law, Princess Qin had no such ability and could only kneel with her husband.
Zhu Yao silently knelt down on the other side.
This kneeling lasted another half an hour.
Familiar footsteps sounded in my ears.
Unfortunately, it was not Eunuch Shen beside Emperor Long'an, but the footsteps of King Yan.
"Brother!" King Yan came over quickly, squatted down, and his voice was full of worry and concern: "I heard that eldest brother was being punished in the palace, and I was worried. How is eldest brother now? Can he hold on?"
King Qin raised his head.
Under the bright and dazzling sunlight, the concern in King Yan's eyes was particularly dazzling.
Ha! Hypocritical!
I don’t know how proud I am!
King Qin snorted several times in his heart, and his face showed emotion and shame: "Thank you for your concern, second brother. I can still barely support it!"
King Yan frowned, sighed and said: "My father has not calmed down yet, please bear with me a little longer. I will beg to see your father and intercede for my brother."
After saying that, he stood up and walked.
The chamberlain entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and turned around within a moment. The figure of King Yan quickly entered the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
That back view was like a thorn, piercing into King Qin's eyes.
King Qin's eyelids twitched and the corners of his mouth pursed tightly.
Princess Qin was filled with hatred. This King Yan, instead of coming to plead for mercy, was clearly rushing to be a good person and show it to the emperor. The words "brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful" are just the tactics used by the princes when they fight against each other!
I don't know whether King Qin knelt for half a day to calm down Emperor Long'an, or King Yan's sincere plea moved the emperor. In short, after a stick of incense, Eunuch Shen came out.
"The emperor's decree is passed down, please stand up, your highness. Please stand up, the princess and the prince."
King Qin was so embarrassed today that he managed to cheer up and thank Heaven for his kindness. With the support of Eunuch Shen, he stood up and said, "I will enter the palace to thank you now."
Eunuch Shen smiled kindly and said, "There's no need to thank you. Your Majesty ordered your servant to pass the message. His Highness knelt for half a day and then returned home to rest."
King Qin: "..."
King Qin squeezed his right hand hard, and squeezed out a smile on his tense face: "Okay, you can report back to my father on my behalf, and tomorrow the king will come to the palace to pay my respects to my father."
Eunuch Shen responded cheerfully: "We will definitely tell the Emperor exactly what His Highness said."
Princess Qin and Zhu Yao, one on the left and the other on the right, supported King Qin and slowly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After leaving the palace gate and getting on the carriage, the calmness that King Qin had maintained evaporated and was replaced by anger and coldness in his heart.
Princess Qin wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, her voice choked with sobs: "Your Highness, what should I do?"
Without the support of the Sacred Heart, how can we fight for the throne?
Zhu Yao was also worried: "Father..."
King Qin squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Shut up, everyone, and let's talk about it back home."
