The emperor was already a little upset, and when he saw the Seventh Prince coming out to plead, he immediately didn't plan to continue listening, so he waved his hand at the people in the audience.

"Let's go! Let's check this matter for the time being, and you all go down. The emperor said in a slightly tired voice.

Everyone immediately knelt down and shouted "Long live my emperor, long live", and then they all retreated.

Although the emperor withdrew from everyone, he was still very worried about this case of stealing ink and food, if there were no foreign thieves in this world, but it had always been a family thief who was making trouble, the emperor really didn't know whether he was wrong or right to treat these sons like this.

The Emperor returned to the imperial study, and as soon as he sat down in the soft chair of the brocade, his heart began to become more and more uneasy and flustered.

"Go, send these account books to check out, which master is from them, and I have to check the authenticity of this account book!" With a majestic look, the emperor threw the ledgers into the hands of the chief eunuch beside him.

Now the chief eunuch has been following the emperor since he was a child, and the emperor knows him very well about his own thoughts, so the emperor believes that he will not do anything to betray himself.

The chief eunuch retreated, and took the ledgers with him.

The emperor ordered a few guards to go out of the palace and invite the three princes who had just spoken in the main hall to the palace, and he had something to discuss with them.

In the afternoon, Tuoba Heng, the crown prince and the seven princes were invited to the palace by the emperor again.

When he arrived in the imperial study, the emperor had just woken up from a nap, but his face was still as blue and ugly as in the early dynasty.

The three of them stood in front of the pear blossom table in the emperor's imperial study, and the emperor glanced at the three of them, with a displeased look on his face.

"You three! What a disappointment for me! It's a shame for me!! The Emperor stood up and slammed a booklet in his hand on the pear wood table, making a violent crash.

Suddenly, the Seven Princes and the Crown Prince were all frightened, but only Tuoba Heng still looked like usual, as if he had known that the emperor would lose his temper.

In the gold-woven flower and bird pattern incense burner, the cigarette smoke rises leisurely and indifferently, but it is not at all in line with the atmosphere in the imperial study at this moment.

"Obviously they are all brothers! Look at what good things you guys are doing one by one!? The emperor looked like he was in a hurry, put his hands behind his back, and then paced left and right behind the case.

The crown prince had already complained about Tuoba Heng's defeat in the morning, but he was frightened by the matter of his army, and the emperor was shouting in front of them again, and suddenly the prince's face turned pale, and he lowered his head in a daze as he looked bloodless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tuoba Heng secretly glanced at the prince, but there was no superfluous expression on his face.

There are only the Seventh Princes, and he still holds his head high, looking like he has nothing to do with himself.

"I have heard about your brother's discord, but today in the morning, I really saw the scene of your discord, which really makes me distressed. I must find out about this matter! I'm going to see who's behind this! How dare you flout the king's law and privately take the food and salary I give to the soldiers! As soon as the emperor spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the three people here, he wanted to see which of the three of them was the most likely person who was the one who gave him the food and salary to the border soldiers.

After the emperor finished speaking, he pretended to be distressed and glanced at the three people in front of him, Tuoba Heng and the Seventh Prince all looked serious, but the crown prince, for some reason, lowered his head tightly, but he didn't dare to look at him.

Doubts immediately rose in the emperor's heart, so he said to His Royal Highness the Prince, "Prince, raise your head. Why don't you dare to look at me!? ”

As soon as the prince heard this, he immediately looked up at the emperor's face in a panic, and suddenly the emperor saw that his face was pale, and he looked a little shocked and lost his soul, and he had not yet stabilized his mind.

Suddenly, the emperor had already made a three-point decision in his heart.

Anyway, Lin Xiaoru, the secretary of the household department, is really damned, as an important official in the sixth department, he actually dared to trick the prince into bribing with him, the emperor thought, and his eyebrows twisted up slightly unhappily.

His prince and Lin Xiaoru are really a dare to be a person who dares to take responsibility. The emperor was shocked and angry in his heart, and a burst of wind and rain thundered in his heart.

The crown prince was about to open his mouth to find a reason to prevaricate, but the emperor took the first step and said to the Seventh Prince and Tuoba Heng next to him: "You two, retreat first." Just leave the prince alone, I have something to say. ”

With that, the emperor turned and sat back in his chair, with a somewhat darker look on his eyebrows.

Tuoba Heng saw that his father was sad, and he also knew that he loved the prince in his heart, and he refused to believe that this thing was indeed done by the prince, so now he was depressed and uneasy, and he couldn't vent it in time, so his face was very ugly.

Tuoba Heng and the Seven Princes successively said goodbye and withdrew from the imperial study.

At this moment, only the prince was left here in the imperial study, and the prince wanted to accuse Tuobaheng in the morning but helped him, and beat him to a shameless person who killed himself.

The prince was timid in his heart, and when he saw that his father had left him behind, his face turned even paler with fright.

"Prince!? Do you know why I didn't leave them behind!? I'm going to leave you behind!? The emperor looked at the prince with a questioning look, but the prince was still a little afraid to look into his father's eyes.

"This, this... The sons didn't know why their father left the sons alone. The prince replied hesitantly.

"Hmph, who taught you to be so rude in the face of me, didn't you even dare to raise your head!?" The emperor still questioned him angrily.

The crown prince was timid in his heart, and when he thought that if his father found out about the falsification of accounts, he would definitely be angry and scolded, and he was extremely frightened. Since becoming the crown prince, his mother has been educating him to do things well, and not to provoke his father and the emperor. But now, this Tuoba Heng's trick actually worked, and he really didn't know what to do.

"Father, the son doesn't have it, it's just that my stomach is a little uncomfortable today, please forgive my son." The prince's glutinous voice whispered.

Immediately, the emperor was furious, but he didn't expect that today, this prince would still use those reasons to prevaricate with him.

"You really did the account book thing!?" The Emperor asked, his eyes sharpening a little.

"No, my father forgives, and my sons don't dare to make false accounts." The prince hurriedly continued to argue, his face slightly lost the weak look he had just now.

The emperor was annoyed, and when he saw the prince's weak face, he also knew that this matter probably had something to do with him.

"Ahem, alas, I'm so angry, you! Hi! What a person who doesn't let people worry! The emperor said with a look of remorse, he now knew that it was too late to regret, this prince was already like this, I don't know how to teach him to understand what to do.

The emperor was so bitter and hateful that he felt uncomfortable for a while, he was not happy that the prince was so inactive, but he was also very glad that he was so inactive today, as long as it was not bad to the bone and difficult for people to find, it was still light. Maybe he should really be glad that he is such an incompetent person, otherwise I really don't know if he will be able to sit on the throne today.

The emperor also knew that he should not be angry with him, so he shook his head very helplessly, and then said to the prince: "Your performance today really makes me angry, I punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors, you should retreat first." ”

The prince saw that the emperor didn't scold him, and he felt very happy in his heart, so he immediately bowed to him, and then left the imperial study quickly.

The emperor sent away the crown prince and others, and his heart was very upset, so he went to Concubine Yang in the imperial court.

When she arrived at Concubine Yang's palace, Concubine Yang wore a colorful palace dress and went out to greet the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was interested in coming to his palace today, Concubine Yang's small mouth was almost closed with a happy smile.

"The concubine has asked the emperor to say goodbye, the emperor is auspicious! How could the emperor be so interested in coming to my palace to sit in my palace today!? Concubine Yang smiled politely and appropriately, and the emperor was very comfortable to see.

As soon as I walked into Concubine Yang's palace, the smell of gardenia-scented soothing incense wafted over, and the emperor was very comfortable squinting his eyes slightly and tasted the fragrance of this gardenia, feeling very fresh and pleasant.

"The incense in your palace is really very refreshing, and after smelling it, my heart is not so panicked." With a chuckle on his face, the Emperor walked ahead and entered the inner sanctum.

Sitting on the soft collapse, the emperor took off his shoes and changed to a comfortable position to lie on the soft collapse.

The palace maids in Concubine Yang's palace immediately exchanged a new bowl of fragrant tea for the emperor.

"The emperor is so polite, this incense is just a popular variety in my hometown, but the place is too remote, so the emperor feels comfortable when he smells it, but it is different from those precious fragrances in the palace." Concubine Yang held a brocade embroidered with mandarin ducks and covered her mouth slightly and smiled.

This smiling action made the emperor very comfortable, he nodded lightly, and then said, "Someone!" ”

Immediately, the chief eunuch standing outside the gate of Concubine Yang's palace hurriedly walked into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, what do you command!?" The chief eunuch looked humble, half-knelt and bowed his head and asked the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand lightly and said, "Take the pair of grape fat jade bracelets that I newly collected from the Western Regions and give them to Concubine Yang." ”

As soon as the chief eunuch heard this, he immediately answered.
