Chapter 23: The Object of Suspicion
As soon as Luo Qinghan walked into the council hall, he was asked by the emperor about the poisonous wine last night.
"Do you think the boss poisoned you?"
The eldest prince, Luo Yechen, couldn't help but interject: "Father, the son was not poisoned, and the son was wronged!" ”
The emperor scolded: "Shut up! ”
Luo Yechen shrank his shoulders and shut his mouth stupidly.
The emperor stared at Luo Qinghan and asked again.
"Prince, I want to hear your thoughts, do you really think that the boss did this?"
Luo Qinghan: "Big brother is not the kind of vicious person, even if there is really any conflict between our brothers, he will not poison me." Erchen guessed that someone else should have poisoned Erchen under the pretense of the eldest brother's hand, and if the strategy succeeded, Erchen and the eldest brother would be all finished, which was a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”
After he said this, he could clearly feel the emperor's expression loosen a little.
The emperor looked at Luo Yechen and asked in a deep voice, "Did you hear what the prince said?" ”
Luo Yechen lowered his head: "I heard it." ”
"You just yelled that the prince deliberately wronged you."
Luo Yechen knelt down: "It's Erchen who is narrow-minded, and Erchen admits punishment." ”
The emperor's gaze swept over the ten princes present one by one, and he said word by word.
"I know that you are resentful of the fact that the third child was canonized as the crown prince, but you must remember that you are brothers, and you have the same blood flowing in your body! I will not allow fratricidal activity in our family, do you understand? ”
The princes' hearts sank, and they knelt down neatly and bowed their heads.
"The sons obey the teachings of their father!"
The emperor slowed down his expression and motioned for the princes to leave, but the crown prince Luo Qinghan was left behind
The emperor looked at Luo Qinghan in front of him and hesitated before speaking.
"Prince, last time he was assassinated, and this time he was poisoned in wine, what do you think in your heart?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Erchen has asked people to investigate these two things, and the truth will be revealed soon." ”
"Do you have any suspicions?"
"Not yet."
"Have you ever doubted your brothers?"
"Nope."
The emperor nodded: "It's okay if you don't, although you are the crown prince, you are also my son, I don't want the future prince of the Dasheng Dynasty to be a cold-blooded person who even my own brothers have to doubt." ”
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and responded: "Erchen understands that there must be a traitor who framed him and wants to provoke the feelings between our brothers, Erchen will not be fooled, please rest assured." ”
"If you understand this, it's not in vain that I trust you."
……
When Luo Qinghan came out of the council hall, it was already noon.
He stood on the steps, looking out at the majestic palaces that stretched out in front of him.
The father wanted their brothers to love each other.
But born in this palace, in the face of the temptation of power, how many people can really keep the bottom line?
Gonggong Chang cautiously asked, "Your Highness, are you going back to the East Palace now?" ”
"Go to the Jiaofang Palace."
Jiaofang Hall is the residence of the queen, and she has just finished lunch at this time and is preparing for a lunch break.
Luo Qinghan stepped forward to salute: "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." ”
Empress Qin always looks cold and dignified, even if this is the Jiaofang Palace, even if she is facing the child raised by herself, she still sits upright, and she can't find a flaw in her body.
"I heard that you were poisoned last night."
"After returning to his mother, Erchen did not drink the cup of poisonous wine, and his body was fine."
"This is not what this palace wants to ask, this palace just wants to know how you plan to deal with this matter?"
