Emperor Beichen scolded angrily, threw all the memorials on the table on him and said, "You still want to frame the prince now. You have really disappointed me."
"His Majesty."
Prime Minister Han suddenly spoke: "This matter is strange. It is most likely that Mu Zongping framed His Royal Highness Prince Ping in order to avenge his eldest brother.
Mu Zongping's words alone cannot prove that this matter is related to Prince Ping."
Yuan Chen glanced at Han Xiang and said: "Human and physical evidence cannot prove it, so how can we prove it?"
Prime Minister Han said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Mu Zongping's testimony may be a false accusation, and the jade pendant may also be stolen. Who knows if someone bribed Mu Zongping in an attempt to frame Prince Ping?"
When Yuan Hao saw this, he cried and said: "Father, my son and I are really unjust.
Yesterday, the prince went to his minister's house, and this jade pendant must have been lost at that time."
Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes and said: "Prince Ping has determined that the injury on your body was caused by Gu's beating? In other words, did you see Gu's injury yesterday?"
Yuan Hao said: "That's natural. You clearly suspected that my younger brother had kidnapped Miss Ye's family, so you were so cruel to my younger brother."
Yuan Chen said: "Then tell me, what color clothes were you wearing when I saw you yesterday, and what color hairpin were you wearing on your head?"
Yuan Hao was confused by his question. He couldn't remember what happened yesterday, and naturally he couldn't remember what Yuan Chen was wearing.
He stammered: "My brother was so scared at the time, how can I remember it so clearly?"
Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "It's okay if you don't remember the color of the hairpin, but you can't also forget the color of the clothes, right?"
Yuan Hao felt like he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He made up a color at random and said: "White."
In his memory, Yuan Chen always liked to wear white for his regular clothes, so he could only take a gamble.
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Mu, what color did you wear yesterday?"
Mu Zongping replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not wear casual clothes yesterday, but wore court clothes."
Yuan Chen glanced at Yuan Hao and said, "Did you hear that? If the injury on your body was really caused by Gu, is it possible that Gu wouldn't remember whether he was wearing casual clothes or court clothes?
Gu said, I originally wanted to congratulate you after going to court, but as soon as I entered the door, I received news that Miss Mu and Jialan were missing, so I left.
I have never seen you or even touched you, what else can you say?"
Yuan Hao's face stiffened, and there was nothing he could explain.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Beichen said in a cold voice: "Prince Ping framed the prince and formed a clique for personal gain. Someone will throw him into the sky prison and wait for his fate!"
Yuan Hao's eyes widened and he said hurriedly: "Father, my son was wronged. It was Prime Minister Han. It was Prime Minister Han who asked my son to blame the prince. It was all under his instigation!"
When Han Xiang saw Yuan Hao pulling him out, he was furious. Fortunately, he defended him just now and offended his majesty and the prince.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he would be betrayed by Yuan Hao. This person really has no integrity.
How could the Han family fall in love with such a useless thing?
Emperor Beichen gave an order: "Pull out."
The guards took Yuan Hao down, and Han Xiang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do with Prince Ping, so I would like to ask your Majesty for your disapproval."
Emperor Beichen said: "Don't worry, Mr. Han, I naturally know that you are innocent. Mr. Han is loyal and devoted himself to Beichen. How can he look at King Shangping and ruin the character of your Han family?"
But it’s a pity for your daughter. I heard that she has the flesh and blood of Prince Ping? After all, she is also my grandson. Please take good care of her, Prime Minister Han, I will not let your daughter be wronged."
Prime Minister Han trembled and said yes.
Emperor Beichen said: "The prince is not young now, and it's time for him to get married. According to my decree, Miss Ye Jialan from the Duke's Mansion, who is of noble character, respectful and modest, has been specially given as the crown prince's concubine, so that the marriage will be auspicious."
