Everyone's eyes looked around and fell on Eunuch Jinzhong.
The old eunuch's gray hair, which was originally neatly tied into a bun, was lightly patted with his hand raised in front of him, without saying a word.
I have heard some rumors that the eunuchs around the emperor are all masters, and I saw it with my own eyes today.
The emperor said nothing and looked at the prince.
The prince's face slowly turned from livid to pale.
Chu Xiurong, who was standing aside, lowered his gaze and used a random eunuch with whom he had no contact to change the dressing to easily remove suspicion. However, using an old eunuch who had been around for years to harm others would not be so easy to remove suspicion.
What's more, the emperor had suspicions in his heart, and the evidence was presented, leaving the emperor no longer able to escape.
.....
...
Everyone in the emperor's palace retreated, and it was completely deserted.
The prince was kneeling on the ground, not as limp as the imperial doctor and eunuch Fucai who were dragged out, and his face was not as pale as before.
He lowered his head and looked at the smooth floor tiles in front of him, which reflected the blurry face of the emperor sitting on the bed.
Seeing that the prince was silent, the emperor asked coldly: "Don't you want to say something?"
"Er Chen was planning to say something before." The prince said in a low voice, "For example, I already said that I didn't believe in the medicine made by Zhang Yuanjing, so I asked Dr. Peng to develop a new one to try the effect, and
It’s not that he wanted to kill his father, but as for Fucai, he was jealous of Gu and punished him before, so he wanted to frame Gu and so on.”
The emperor smiled: "Isn't this a good idea? Why didn't you say it?"
The prince also smiled: "I just figured it out. My father said that he had woken up a long time ago and could speak, but he still pretended to be unconscious and refused to tell me. This shows that my father has already made up his mind.
"
The emperor slammed the medicine bowl in front of him on the ground. Broken porcelain pieces and black medicine splashed on the prince's body and face.
"You blame me for being on guard against you!" the emperor roared, "Chu Jinrong, you are really worse than a beast!"
At this point, his blood surged and he had to hold his chest to prevent the tearing heartache from making him faint. He held his heart and tears welled up.
"I have been sick for so long and encountered many strange things. When I woke up this time, I was not in a hurry to let people know. I just wanted to think about it and take a look. Unexpectedly, I saw what I least wanted to see!"
"You, you, it's you, how can I not forgive you? You actually want to kill me?"
The emperor's last sentence was not about me, but about you and me. The prince who was squeezing his neck slowly softened. He raised his hands to cover his face and let out a sob: "Father, I didn't want to either, I didn't want to-"
"You didn't think about it, but what did you do?" the emperor shouted, tears crisscrossing his face, "I am sick and in a coma. As the prince and the heir apparent, I can't blame you for bullying your brothers.
, I understand that you are nervous. When the King of Xiliang provokes you to marry Jin Yao, I don’t blame you. I understand that you are afraid, but if you want to murder me, even if I am considerate of you, I will really do it for you.
I can't think of a reason - Chu Jinrong, you just said that whether I live or die, you will be the future emperor, you, you can't wait so much?"
The prince suddenly raised his head: "Yes, I am incompetent and afraid, but this is all because of you, father!"
The emperor looked at him, and the prince's face in front of him was a little distorted. It looked like something he had never seen before, so unfamiliar.
"Chu Yurong has been pretending to be an iron-faced general, why are you hiding this from me!" The prince gritted his teeth and pointed around, "Do you know how scared I am? How many people in this palace are I don't know?
We know each other, but how many secrets are there that I don’t know, and who can I trust?”
The emperor's eyes were angry and his voice was hoarse: "The moment I was about to die, I was thinking about you. For your sake, I said something that a father shouldn't have said, and you blamed me instead?"
The prince ignored him, waved his hands and shouted: "So what did you say? It's too late! He has run away, I don't know where he is hiding! I don't know how many people there are like him in this palace! How many eyes are staring at Gu!"
You are not doing it for me at all, you are doing it for him!"
The emperor looked at the crazy-looking prince, and his heart ached even more. How did his son become like this? Although he is not as smart as Chu Xiurong, and not as smart as Chu Yurong, he brought him up with his own hands.
The eldest son I taught, he is another him——
"Jin Rong, I know your thoughts and what you have done." He said, "In the Shanghe Village case, Xiu Rong was poisoned in Zhou Xuan's mansion, but I didn't say anything. I will explain it to you.
You know, I value other people in my heart, but actually it’s all for you, but you still hate this, hate that, and in the end even me becomes a thorn in your side?”
The prince shouted: "You know what I have done, and I don't know what you have done. You handed over the military power to Chu Yurong. Have you ever thought about what I will do in the future? You just told me now,
He also said it was for me, if it was for me, why didn’t you kill him earlier!”
Obsessed - the emperor looked at him in despair and slowly closed his eyes.
"Come here," he said.
The emperor's voice was very soft, and eunuch Jinzhong who was standing by raised his voice, "Here comes——"
The guards standing outside the palace came in immediately.
"Take the prince to the prison." The emperor said coldly.
The imperial guard responded and stepped forward. The prince did not yell any more. He took off the jade crown, took off his gown, threw it to the ground, let out a few wild laughs, turned around and strode away.
The emperor's face was expressionless: "Call the ministers to come in."
Eunuch Jinzhong shouted again, and the ministers waiting outside the palace rushed in. Although they could not hear clearly what the prince and the emperor said, they knew it by looking at the way the prince left just now.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Several veterans begged, "Your health is just right."
The emperor said: "I am fine. Since I can live again, I will not die easily again." He looked at the people in front of him and said, "I have made a decree that the deposed crown prince will be treated as a commoner."

.....
Chen Danzhu was sitting in the cell, staring at the jumping shadows on the ground in a daze. When she heard the chaotic footsteps in the distance of the cell, she subconsciously raised her head to look. Sure enough, she saw many people walking in from the passage leading in the other direction.
There are eunuchs, guards, and—
Chen Danzhu was in disbelief. She jumped up and ran over to grab the cell door.
"Prince?" she shouted.
The man with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes didn't seem to hear him. He didn't turn around to let Chen Danzhu see his face clearly, and just walked towards the cell over there.
But this does not affect Chen Danzhu's judgment.
"It's really you!" Her voice was pleasantly surprised, "You've been imprisoned too? It's great."
She laughed loudly after saying this.
The girl's laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, but it was particularly harsh in the empty cell. The eunuch guard responsible for escorting her could not help turning his head to look at her, but no one came to stop her from laughing at the prince.
The prince is no longer the prince.
But King Qi is still King Qi, and King Qi has promised to take good care of Miss Danzhu.
They looked back, like a wall slowly pushing the prince, the deposed prince, towards the deepest part of the cell.
