This move of the crown prince provoked the emperor to be furious.

He can tolerate the prince's liking for a married woman, and he can also tolerate his willfulness.

But he must not tolerate him ignoring the situation and ignoring his own safety for the sake of a woman.

The prince's behavior will undoubtedly make the ministers wonder if he is still qualified to succeed as the emperor.

Coupled with the subtle push of a force behind the scenes, the proposal to abolish the prince was put forward again. And more than ever.

As a result, all the pressure fell on Zhao Yuanjing in an instant.

On the contrary, on Yun Dai's side, no one pays attention.

She is the hero who saved the Queen Mother, and with the Queen Mother to protect her, the emperor will not want her life. At most, they will drive her away.

On the contrary, the prince is a little difficult to protect himself.

The emperor himself went to the East Palace.

He slapped Zhao Yuanjing hard.

Zhao Yuanjing's fair cheeks quickly floated a bright red palm print.

This is the first time he has been slapped since birth.

The emperor said with a cold face: "You are a useless thing. You were weak at the beginning, if it weren't for the Yuan Hou desperately trying to save you, would you be able to live to this day? As the concubine of the Empress Yuan, you repay your mother's heart like this! ”

Zhao Yuanjing said: "Erchen understands the feelings of his father and queen mother who love Erchen, but Erchen is also loving his son at this moment. ”

"Now, do you still want to protect that Gu Yundai?" The emperor was angry, "That woman has a son outside, and I don't know who she gave birth to, so you believe that it is your own, for the sake of a woman, are you crazy?" ”

Zhao Yuanjing said calmly: "Erchen has already explained that the child is indeed mine. ”

"Then bring the child to me!"

"Not yet, Father, wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?" The emperor said angrily, "You are clearly deliberately delaying, what child? Where did the children come from? Zhao Yuanjing, you are really blinded by lard! Now the courtiers are talking about it, if it goes on like this, even the queen mother can't keep that woman! If you don't kill her, how can you calm down? ”

"What does the father want his son to do?"

"Explain to the clan, give the ministers an explanation, and then imprison Gu Yundai."

"Forgiveness, I can't do it." Zhao Yuanjing said lightly.

The emperor's angry splitter pulled out the embroidered spring knife from the hand of the Jinyi guard beside him and slashed at him.

Jinyiwei was frightened and hurried to stop it.

"No, don't—" a scream.

Immediately, Concubine Chen rushed over, blocked in front of Zhao Yuanjing, and cried and said, "I beg the emperor to spare His Royal Highness the Prince." His Highness was just blinded and confused for a moment. All the mistakes were caused by Gu Yundai, beg the emperor to kill Gu Yundai! ”

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her coldly, and spit out a word with thin lips: "Get out." ”

Concubine Chen was stunned, and then tears fell from her eyes.

But she was dead in front of Zhao Yuanjing.

The emperor said angrily: "Look at Concubine Chen like this, she is the woman you should love!" ”

"But she is the one who deceives me and calculates against me." Zhao Yuanjing said coldly.

Concubine Chen's face turned pale.

The emperor threw away the knife and said coldly: "Prince, since you are going to be punished, I will also be up to you." Someone came, and gave the prince thirty lashes. ”

The crown prince was punished......

That's a big deal.

And all the people changed their faces.

Who would dare to do this?

The emperor casually pointed to a eunuch and told him to torture him.

The eunuch immediately trembled with fright.

But the holy decree was issued, and if he didn't fight, he would resist the decree.

I had to do it.

At first, he didn't dare to hit hard, but the emperor became even more angry when he saw it, and shouted: "If you don't beat the skin and flesh, I will peel your skin!" ”
