The emperor looked at Liu Guifei and the third prince who were kneeling below, and didn't say a word, only looked at the mother and son coldly.

The two of them became more and more uneasy in his gaze. In fact, the emperor scolded and criticized him, which was a good thing for them. At least let the emperor spill all his anger, and the rest of the things will be much easier.

Now that they don't say a word, they are all a little frightened in their hearts. Especially Liu Guifei, she knows the emperor's temperament very well. The emperor is the kind of person who gets angry, the less he will let his emotions out. Now that she didn't say a word, she didn't have any bottom in her heart, and she didn't know what the emperor's dissatisfaction with the three princes was.

After a long time, the mother and son knelt until their legs were numb, and the emperor said coldly: "Go back first, the will to dispose of it will come later." ”

Liu Guifei's heart trembled, the emperor did not directly punish the three princes, but made an order, which greatly exceeded her expectations. Direct punishment may be a bit too heavy, but it is also easy to be soft-hearted later.

Once the emperor makes a will, the nature is completely different, that is, the emperor will be soft-hearted in the future, and he must use appropriate reasons to change the previous holy decree. And this reason is really not something that can be found casually.

Concubine Liu Guifei was so anxious that she didn't have to pretend, tears flowed down her cheeks: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that the emperor has made a big mistake this time, and she shouldn't have interceded for him." But he is the meat that fell from the concubine's body, and the concubine can't ignore him. Your Majesty, for the sake of the concubine, please punish him lightly by two points. In the future, the concubine will definitely discipline him strictly and never let him make mistakes again. ”

The emperor has feelings for Concubine Liu, but this incident really made the emperor feel uneasy.

The little ninety-nine in the hearts of the three princes, the emperor is clear in his heart.

He didn't take it too seriously before, after all, the prince who didn't want to be the emperor was not a good prince, and several princes competed with each other, which was also an opportunity for the prince to experience, so the emperor never stopped the actions of other emperors.

But the matter of the third prince setting up a private prison made the emperor really angry, especially when it came out at this juncture to clean up the king of Chu, which made the emperor think more.

Why did the king of Chu rebel? Isn't it because of the failure of the competition, so he did the thing of collaborating with the enemy and treason. At present, the third prince is ignoring the emperor's orders and secretly setting up a private prison in the palace, does it also mean that he can also do other things for his own interests? For example, like the King of Chu.

The emperor has always been suspicious, and once he has such thoughts, he begins to have some bad suspicions about the three princes.

If you want to be the emperor, you can compete by legitimate means, as long as he is really capable, then his throne may not necessarily be passed to the crown prince. But if he relied on some unsightly means to snatch his chair, it would be for the sake of the society of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he would not be able to spare his son.

So no matter who comes to intercede at this time, the emperor will not be soft-hearted. "Go back, I'll sit down with the Queen."

With that, the emperor got up and walked out of the imperial study.

Li Quanfu hurriedly followed behind him and sang in a sharp voice: "The emperor is in charge of Kunning Palace." ”

Liu Guifei unwillingly shouted twice at the emperor's back, "Emperor, emperor." ”

The emperor didn't reply, but Li Quanfu kindly turned his head and shook his head at her, signaling her to stop talking, so as not to make the emperor even more dissatisfied.

After the emperor's figure walked away, Liu Guifei seemed to have been drained of all her strength, leaned to the side, and fell to the ground.

Kneeling for too long, my legs were numb and painful, and it was really uncomfortable. No matter how uncomfortable it is, it can't compare to the torment in my heart at the moment.

Her palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but she waved her away.

The third prince was also panicked, and kept asking, "Mother, what should I do now?" My father looked angry and didn't give me a chance to explain at all. ”

Liu Guifei glared at him: "Where is the private prison, how do you explain it?" Could it be that someone else framed you in your house? Do you know now that you are panicking, what did you do earlier? Private prison is expressly forbidden by your father's decree, you are good, as a prince, not only do not actively respond to your father's will, but secretly set up a private prison, which is a clear slap in the face of your father! Let the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know, where is your father's face to rest! ”

The third prince muttered unwillingly, "I don't believe that I am the only one who has set up a private prison." ”

Liu Guifei heard this so seriously that she was so angry that she wanted to slap him twice, why did she give birth to such a fool!

Although the emperor is no longer here, this is the emperor's study, and the people standing inside and outside are the emperor's people, the emperor's eyes and ears.

Concubine Liu Guifei asked the palace maid to help her up, and reprimanded the third prince in a cold voice, "Until now, you are still not convinced, you don't feel that you are at fault, it seems that you should indeed reflect on it." You should go back to the house first and wait for your father's decree, maybe this incident will really make you grow some brains. ”

In the end, the third prince had to go back to the house first.

After dawn, the holy decree in the palace was sent to the palace of the three princes, which roughly means that because the three princes disregarded the emperor's order to set up a private prison, it was the emperor's decision to strip his prince of his money, and he was confined to the palace, and he was not allowed to leave the palace for half a step without the emperor's summons.

As for the murder of Xiao's mother and son, further investigation is needed, and after the results are out, they will be held accountable.

And Liu Guifei in the palace was also implicated, because her godson had no way to condone the prince and connived at the prince, Liu Guifei was fined for half a year.

Although Liu Guifei didn't care about the half a year's salary, this incident also made her lose all her face. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that she understands that this time the emperor will punish her together, and it is not just because of the matter of the third prince setting up a private prison. And a few days ago, she and the third prince plotted against Lin Ruan, and the emperor was also counted in it.

The emperor made the matter of the third prince and Gu Xin'er a big deal in order to save the royal face, so he did not pursue her. But since then, the emperor has not been to her palace for several days.

Originally, she was worried about how to get the emperor to forgive her, but she didn't expect the third prince to make trouble here again.

This time, the emperor was really angry and disappointed in her, she was worried that after this incident, the emperor would slowly cool down towards her.

The most important thing in this palace is a woman, although she is well-maintained and looks still young, but in the end it is not as good as those tender faces.

If the emperor really wants to be angry with her for a year and a half, I am afraid that she wants to regain the emperor's favor, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Liu Guifei became, but she was a person who had been in the palace for so many years, and she also knew the emperor's character very well, so she quickly thought of some methods.

It's just that these things can't be rushed, otherwise they will only be counterproductive. So Concubine Liu Guifei pressed down her anxiety, stayed in her palace honestly, and asked the palace people to close the palace door, with a devout attitude of reflecting and admitting her mistakes.
