Concubine Pei actually took out the note? How dare she? How dare she!
However, Concubine Pei just dared.
She understood that the person's face looked a little worried and a little guilty, but she didn't feel guilty.
The emperor looked at the note and his eyes froze.
Then he went to see Concubine Pei, and their eyes met.
Concubine Pei said softly: "My concubine... was curious and wanted to find out what was going on, but she regretted it halfway. Just as she was hesitating, she happened to see Your Majesty coming."
The emperor recalled the situation just now——
In the middle of the banquet, he was a little drunk, but he saw Wan Dabao coming over with a strange expression to report that someone in the palace had seen Concubine Pei walking back alone.
The emperor heard that something was not quite right, and he had been ill for some time a few days ago, so he was already very suspicious, so he left the table and went over with only his personal chamberlain and bodyguards.
Unexpectedly, when I walked halfway, I saw Concubine Pei standing at the intersection, hesitating, as if she couldn't decide on something.
When the emperor saw that the news was true, he was a little angry, but when Concubine Pei saw him, not only did she not panic, she even breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as they came over to meet Li, before the two of them had time to speak, the guards came to report that the prince and King Xin were in front.
Then I saw two people fighting each other.
The emperor looked at Concubine Pei for a long time and said, "So, someone deliberately lured Concubine Pei to Wangyue Pavilion?"
Concubine Pei said tactfully: "I don't know, maybe."
The emperor reached for the note and stared at Concubine Pei: "In the harem, it is passed on privately. This matter needs to be investigated to the end. My dear concubine, do you have no objection?"
Concubine Pei replied meekly: "Your Majesty has the final say."
The emperor felt a little more relaxed, and his eyes returned to the prince and King Xin.
The prince was sweating profusely and opened his mouth: "Father! If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will arouse criticism. For the sake of the reputation of the imperial concubine, it is better to deal with it in a low-key manner."
As soon as he spoke, the emperor's eyes sharpened and he said coldly: "Oh? Why is this matter so controversial?"
The prince racked his brains and stammered: "This... someone handed something to the imperial concubine, and if it fell into the ears of a caring person, wouldn't it be a private exchange?" He had an idea and found this reason, and the rest of his words became smoother.
He said, "Father, my queen's reputation is important. Besides, I just finished praying for my ancestors and it's not easy to see blood, so why not..."
"How about that?"
Seeing the emperor's calm expression, the prince became bolder and said, "It's better to turn big things into small things and turn small things into small things."
Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, the emperor swept over with another tea cup, and his face suddenly became furious: "How dare you say that, you really dare to say that!"
The prince was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Father, please calm down. My son, I am just worried..."
"What a worry!" The emperor sneered repeatedly, "The harem needs you to worry about. Are you eager to sit in my position?"
This sentence was so heartbreaking that the prince immediately kowtowed his head and did not dare to express his anger: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?" the emperor was furious.
He looked at the prince and sneered repeatedly.
I really thought I was a fool and couldn't understand what this fool was thinking.
Thinking about it, not long ago, he was discussing with the second minister how to train the prince and ask him to take on important responsibilities.
It had only been a few days, and this idiot had given him such a big surprise.
Before he even sat in this position, he already wanted to attack the people around him!
If he were really asked to ascend to this position, what would he do?
The dignified prince actually used such despicable methods!
What disappoints him even more is that the method was used, but it was full of loopholes!
The emperor took a deep breath, his heart as cold as ice.
Maybe, it's time to give up.
"Someone's coming!"
Wan Dabao came in, bowed and listened to the order: "My servant is here."
"Call..." The emperor paused, "Call Jiang Wenfeng."
"yes."
The blood drained quickly from the prince's face.
What does it mean to call Jiang Wenfeng here? That is Jing Zhaoyin, a court official, a third-rank official, and the real power! Does the father want to make this matter public? In that case, he, the prince...
"Father, father! I made a mistake, please have mercy!" The prince was so distraught that he couldn't care less about the broken porcelain on the floor and kowtowed, "Father, have mercy!"
When Jiang Wenfeng came, he saw this scene.
The emperor sat in the middle, his face ashen.
The prince's face was as white as paper, his forehead was bleeding, and his whole body was as trembling as a frightened bird.
King Xin said nothing and lowered his head.
After Qian Niang left, Jiang Wenfeng basically lived in the government office. He thought that the emperor had some government affairs to ask, but he didn't expect that the chamberlain took him directly into Taiyuan Palace.
Looking at the situation in the room again, except for the emperor, his father and his son, no one else was seen, and I knew immediately.
Something happened!
The unlucky one is the prince.
I asked him to come over, because I was afraid he had some shady instructions to give.
Jiang Wenfeng frowned. He didn't want to get involved in royal secrets. It seemed like an opportunity, but it was also full of crises.
But the emperor ordered that there was nothing he could do.
Mr. Jiang had this thought in his mind, and without revealing anything on his face, he respectfully bowed to the emperor and said, "I wonder what your Majesty has to say when he has summoned me?"
The emperor's expression softened slightly and he replied: "Qing Jiang, you have always been good at solving cases. There is a case here, and you should come and try it."
"Yes, I am at your service."
Jiang Wenfeng quickly understood the ins and outs.
After more than ten years in office, he has tried countless cases, and he knows the key points just by hearing them, and he sighs secretly in his heart.
A prince with mediocre intelligence is not to be feared, but a prince with mediocre intelligence who thinks he is smart will be doomed.
Jiang Wenfeng was not very enthusiastic about rebellion, but if the prince himself sought death, he would not stop him.
"Your Majesty," he said with cupped hands, "there are several doubtful points in this case, and I want to interrogate several people."
The emperor called out: "Wan Da Bao."
"Yes." Wan Dabao understood and bowed to him, "Master Jiang, just give me your orders."
Jiang Wenfeng ordered one by one: "First, find the palace attendant who handed the note to the empress. Second, who revealed the news that the empress went to Wangyue Pavilion? Third..."
He turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have a few questions to ask the empress."
The emperor looked at the bead curtains and nodded: "Let's go to the Toji Room."
The prince just watched the emperor go out, and wanted to say something, but flinched under his cold eyes.
The bead curtain swayed, and Concubine Pei also left.
The prince trembled all over and knelt on the spot in a daze.
He felt extremely regretful. Why didn't he wait and discuss it with Mr. Fu after the ceremony was over?
By the way, Mr. Fu, hurry up and find Mr. Fu!
The prince hurriedly looked outside——
"Brother, who are you looking for?" King Xin's voice sounded like a smile but not a smile.
The prince covered his panic with anger: "What does it have to do with you?"
"What does it have to do with me?" King Xin no longer concealed his jealousy and hostility, looking at him coldly, "Brother, you are so cruel! You actually want to frame me for molesting my concubine. You are going to kill my little brother!" (
