The prince was still confused until he knelt before the emperor.
His plan was obviously perfect. He used King Yongxi's handwriting to trick Concubine Pei out, and he got King Xin to the meeting place.
Finally, the emperor was brought over.
No matter what the truth is, the meeting between the prince and his beloved concubine in such a remote place will make people suspicious.
In this way, he could kill two birds with one stone and eliminate King Xin and Concubine Pei at the same time.
Although there was some problem during the execution, Concubine Pei should not be with the emperor no matter what!
Contrary to him, King Xin was very happy at this time.
Seeing the way the prince looked at Concubine Pei, he already guessed what the prince wanted to do.
This is to make him guilty of molesting his concubine and make him be despised by his father!
Fortunately, I realized something was wrong in time and didn't let the prince succeed.
Although brothers fighting will definitely be reprimanded by their father, but compared with teasing Concubine Pei, what does it mean?
What's more, with the prince's intelligence, there must be loopholes in this matter.
He can endure it, but Concubine Pei will not tolerate it either.
After passing the current hurdle first, when Concubine Pei takes action, she only needs to fan the flames from the side, and she will see the prince shoot herself in the foot!
Maybe we can use this incident to make the prince lose his sacred heart and take the opportunity to ascend to the throne!
King Xin suppressed his excitement, pretended to be honest, and lowered his head to listen to the instructions.
Wan Dabao brought the soup and said carefully: "Your Majesty, please drink some sobering soup to get rid of the alcohol smell."
The emperor stretched out his hand as if he wanted to take it, but when he touched the soup cup, he suddenly became furious and swept it away with a wave of his hand.
There was a sharp sound of breaking porcelain. The soup cup fell on the prince first, spilling all over him, and then rolled onto King Xin. All the remaining soup was poured out, and finally it hit the ground and broke into pieces.
But the two of them didn't even dare to tremble, and allowed the soup to seep into their clothes, making them wet all over.
The emperor's face was as dark as water, his eyes fell on the prince and King Xin, and he uttered two words: "Get out!"
In this situation, it was obviously impossible to ask the two princes to go out. Wan Dabao came over to understand and winked at the chamberlain present.
The people who serve the emperor are all human beings, how can you not understand? They all retreated in the blink of an eye.
There were only four people left.
The emperor, the prince, King Xin, and Concubine Pei.
The emperor looked at them coldly: "Which of you will speak first?"
The prince shrank under his gaze, quickly reacted, and leaned down, looking frightened: "Father, I am wrong!"
"Oh?" The emperor raised the corner of his mouth, not sure if it was a sneer or a mockery, "Where did you go wrong?"
The prince said: "My son made two mistakes. First, I shouldn't have drank alcohol without restraint, so that I lost my mind. Second, I shouldn't have argued with my second brother. As an elder brother, I didn't know how to be polite. I made a big mistake. Please punish me, father!"
He looked very sincere, his head lowered deeply, his hand on the ground pressed against the broken porcelain, and blood oozed out, but he did not dare to move a little, and he knelt down obediently.
He was quite smart at the moment and knew how to dodge the important and take the easy. He must not bring up the matter of deliberately bringing Concubine Pei here. If the plan failed, it would just rot in his stomach. If he brought it up, he would definitely be the unlucky one.
Mr. Fu once taught that if you do something wrong, you must be quick to admit it. When something happens, the other party has actually already convicted you in his heart. The so-called opportunity to defend is just the difference between a heavy sentence and a light sentence. Only by reflecting quickly enough can you win.
A light sentence.
Regarding this matter, the emperor had already seen him scuffle with King Xin, so it was impossible not to admit his mistake.
The plan has not yet been implemented, and there is no evidence of the truth.
The only loophole is Concubine Pei, who has a fake note in her hand.
But how could Concubine Pei take the initiative to say it? This is also her excuse.
Therefore, if you admit your mistake quickly, you can cover up this matter!
The emperor said nothing and looked at him condescendingly, with no intention of expressing his opinion.
The sweat on the prince's forehead slipped unknowingly. He thought about his words several times and felt that the problem was not big. However, the emperor's attitude made him unpredictable.
After a long time, the emperor finally spoke: "What about you? How do you say it?"
What he saw was King Xin.
When King Xin got the chance to speak, he immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Father, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on my eldest brother. I am also at fault. I knew that my eldest brother was drunk, so I should have tolerated it a little. It was my eldest brother who couldn't keep his temper and even
I couldn't stand a few drunken words, so I actually started fighting with my brother. I know my mistake, please punish me!"
While he was feeling sincere and frightened, he also felt pity in his heart. Why did the boss learn to be smart? He used to hate admitting his mistakes. Whenever this happened, he would always defend himself, but he didn't know that this would only have the opposite effect.
"You are now brothers and sisters, why didn't you think of that just now?" The emperor's voice was lowered and then suddenly raised, "Look at what you look like! A prince and a prince are actually fighting each other. I just can't believe it.
I dare to believe what I saw! If the courtiers saw this, where would the royal family’s face be put? Where would the court’s face be put?"
After being scolded, the prince breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his body lower, and said in a sincere tone: "My father has taught me a lesson, and my son regrets it."
King Xin also quickly bowed his head: "My son, too, I will definitely learn a lesson in the future and never do it again."
The emperor softened his tone and leaned forward slowly, as if his temper had already been expressed.
"Tell me, what happened? Why did you fight each other in that remote place?"
When the prince heard that his tone improved, he felt relieved and replied: "Father, my son is too drunk, so he walked around to catch the wind to sober up. Unexpectedly, he met his second brother on the way, so he took him to enjoy the moon together. I don't know.
I walked there unconsciously. I was a little confused before, maybe I said something inappropriate, but my second brother got serious, so... in short, it's all my fault."
The emperor looked at King Xin: "Is that so?"
King Xin replied: "That's true. It's just that I can't remember exactly how the quarrel started. I just remember that I felt unhappy, so I argued with my eldest brother for a few words, but I didn't expect that my eldest brother would get angry and take action..."
The emperor looked at this and that, with a sneer on his lips.
The confessions of the two brothers sounded consistent at first glance, but both of them blamed the other for the first attack.
The emperor did not have a fit. He took the tea poured by Concubine Pei and took a slow sip before saying: "This is interesting. Wangyue Pavilion is so remote. How could it be such a coincidence that you two brothers went to admire the moon? And I
Here, by coincidence, someone came to report that the imperial concubine had gone to Wangyue Pavilion. What about you, imperial concubine, why did you go to Wangyue Pavilion?"
As soon as she finished speaking, all three pairs of eyes looked towards Concubine Pei.
Concubine Pei, who had been following the emperor with a low eyebrow, looked embarrassed when she heard this: "Your Majesty, should I talk to you alone about this matter later?"
The emperor was unhappy: "What can't you say in person? They can't explain it clearly, and you can't explain it clearly either, right?"
"This..." Concubine Pei was in a dilemma.
"explain!"
Concubine Pei sighed helplessly and took out a note from her sleeve: "I received this thing because..." (To be continued)
