There was silence in the palace until two more eunuchs were thrown to the ground.
"Mu Rong, do these two people know each other?" the emperor asked, sitting on the dragon chair.
Although the fifth prince is still standing, his body has stiffened, and he clenched the hands hanging by his sides hard: "Father, I recognize you, but the matter of third brother's poisoning has nothing to do with me——"
"Okay, you don't have to argue." The emperor interrupted him, "Your arrangement is very subtle. One of you eats and the other drinks. No matter which one you touch, you will die. And if you only touch one, the other one can still be killed."
It’s hidden and can be saved for next time.”
The emperor smiled when he said this.
"How courageous you are. You just keep people here in such a grand manner without even thinking about cleaning up the traces. You are really not afraid of being caught at all."
The fifth prince looked at the emperor's calm and smiling expression on the dragon throne, and felt his mind buzzing. Too many things happened today. If the attack on the third prince was found out, why did the previous things also be found out?
The fifth prince shouted: "No! Father, the almond cake really has nothing to do with me!"
"You dare to quibble!" The emperor was furious and pointed at the eunuchs who were kneeling in the palace. "At that time, Xiu Rong was very smart. He knew something was wrong as soon as he took a bite. He didn't forget to spill the tea on his body before he fainted. When he woke up, he gave it to
I can find out what kind of poison this is——"
The emperor stood up, looking angry.
"Do you really think I can't see anything because I'm blind and deaf? Do you really think I can't find out anything?"
The emperor shook his head again, looking sad.
"No, you don't think that I can't find out. It's because I never punish you and let you go time and time again. That's why you are so unscrupulous and why you have another plan that fails."
The fifth prince was dizzy and wanted to argue. The emperor pointed at him and shouted for someone to come.
"You don't have to quibble with me. What you and your mother have done has been made clear enough by so many witnesses."
A group of guards swarmed up and surrounded the fifth prince.
"You have long been clamoring to open a palace to live on your own, and now your prince's palace has been built." The emperor said in a calm voice, "From now on, you can live in it and study and cultivate yourself there."
The words sounded light, but they meant that he was going to be imprisoned. The fifth prince was finally frightened. After being imprisoned, he would have nothing, and he would not be able to do anything for the prince brother. He would be as successful as the sixth prince.
He gave birth to a cripple - he was obviously in good health, how could he be a cripple for the rest of his life!
"Father—" he knelt down and shouted, "Father, please listen to my explanation—Father, please spare this child for once—Father, I am your child too!"
The emperor looked at him coldly, as if looking at a stranger: "I have so many children, and I don't lack any of you. You are a beast who killed my brother, so don't forget it."
When the fifth prince continued to shout, the guards came forward, gagged his mouth, and dragged him out neatly.
The emperor looked at the eunuchs kneeling in the palace: "Get rid of these things too. I don't want to see these dirty things anymore."
There was a burst of crying and pleading, and all the witnesses in the back hall were dragged away. The hall was completely silent again, until the sound of teeth chattering could be heard.
Everyone's eyes slowly turned and they saw the fourth prince lying on the ground.
The fourth prince trembled, buried his head in his arms, and knelt on the ground, sobbing and chatting his teeth.
As if he noticed that the emperor's eyes finally fell on him, the fourth prince let out a sob: "Father, I don't know, I just make some money with my fifth brother, and I don't share much -"
The emperor seemed to be angry again and laughed. He looked at his sons. The fourth prince was crying, the second prince was dumbfounded, and the prince was in despair. Although the third prince was a little better, his face was also scary. Zhou Xuan didn't know what he was thinking.
General in the Iron Mask - the mask hides everything.
"I asked you all to come here today to see and listen clearly," the emperor said, "to know what your brother has done, so as not to make random assumptions."
The princes kneeling on the ground were stunned. They didn't know whether they heard it or not. They subconsciously responded: "I understand."
The emperor said: "Murong is imprisoned. Queen, I will not depose her. Now that the country has just settled down, I will imprison her in the cold palace."
The princes responded in unison again.
The emperor also exhausted his strength and waved his hand tiredly: "You all can go down."
Everyone responded, stumbled to their feet, and walked out in despair. Only the prince and the third prince knelt and did not move.
"Jinrong, please get up." The emperor said, "I know you have a lot to say, but let's forget it for today. You can go back and think about it yourself."
The prince responded by getting up and walking out slowly.
The emperor looked at the third prince.
The third prince raised his head and looked at him, and spoke first: "Father, are you okay?"
The emperor originally stood upright with a solemn expression. When he suddenly heard these words, his body suddenly softened. The sadness in his eyes overflowed all over his face. They were all his sons. His sons were killing each other. As a father,
Heartbroken to death——
The third prince leaned over and kowtowed and choked with sobs: "Father, this is not your fault. The nine sons of Longsheng are all different. It is up to him to decide what each child will look like. Father, please don't blame yourself."
The emperor raised his hands to cover his face and said in a sad voice: "Okay, okay, I know how to fix your face. Get up quickly and go have a rest."
The third prince then turned around and slowly walked out, with tears slowly streaming down his face.
In the palace of the third emperor, the eunuchs were all nervous. Although the palace of the emperor and the queen was under martial law and no one was allowed to pry, they knew that something serious was going on without even looking. Especially when they just heard that the fifth prince had been dragged away, and the people in the palace of the fifth emperor were not allowed to pry.
The eunuchs and maids were also captured——
Now that the third prince is back, everyone is relieved. At least the third prince has not been dragged away. As the third prince's servants, they are safe.
Xiaoqu and Ningning were both standing at the entrance of the palace. They both called to His Highness in unison. Before they could get closer, the third prince said: "Others, step aside. Xiaoqu comes in."
The eunuchs and maids retreated one after another. Ning Ning stood there feeling a little embarrassed. She was considered someone else, but looking at the frightening face of the third prince, she could only lower her head and slowly retreat.
Xiaoqu followed the third prince in and asked in a low voice: "How is your highness? It went well."
The third prince turned to look at him and said, "He knows."
Xiaoqu was stunned for a moment, what? Who? Know what?
"Although I have already guessed that His Majesty knows everything from the beginning, I still have a glimmer of hope." The third prince said.
But the words of the emperor just now made the fifth prince feel frightened and heartbroken.
The emperor said: Do you really think that I am blind and deaf and can’t see anything? Do you really think that I can’t find out anything?
He could see it, he could find out, he knew who the murderer was, but he didn't look, didn't check or ask, and allowed himself to be poisoned for so many years.
For his prince.
The prince is his son, what are the others? They are ants, trash, and dispensable things.
Xiaoqu finally understood. Looking at the third prince's expression, he was worried and distressed: "Your Highness, we have guessed it a long time ago. We are not angry or sad. We just want our great revenge to be avenged."
The third prince took a deep breath and looked around the palace. Feeling that he could not stay here for a moment, he broke away from Xiao Qu's hand and turned around and strode out.
"Your Highness, where are you going?" Xiaoqu asked in a panic.
The third prince said: "I am going to Peach Blossom Mountain. Miss Danzhu is still worried about me. I will go and see her in person."
Xiaoqu followed with a complicated expression, and couldn't bear to persuade him even if he wanted to, but the third prince who had just stepped out stopped again.
What's wrong?
Xiao Qu hurriedly followed and stepped out. He saw Zhou Xuan approaching, still wearing the messy robe. When he saw the third prince, he slowly knelt down.
"Your Highness," he said, "I failed in my duty this time."
Although everything was a conspiracy of the fifth prince, it was Zhou Xuan who brought the fifth prince with him, which led to this incident.
The emperor did not punish Zhou Xuan. As a minister, Zhou Xuan came to apologize to the third prince.
The eunuchs who were retreating far outside the palace looked here, and then saw the third prince nodding.
"Come in," he said, "I also have something to ask you."
