After listening to Mama Ye's words, the emperor thought about it a little and knew that Concubine Xiao Guifei had told a lie.

In the past, I heard the gossip of the palace people, saying that Concubine Xiao was not close to his own brother, he didn't believe it at the time, but he just said that it was a rumor, but he didn't expect that it was true.

After Concubine Xiao Guifei returned to the palace from Xiao Mansion Province, she brought Xiao Min to see him, but she did not mention Xiao Linhui's daughter.

At this time, her sister-in-law came to the palace, but she said that she was sent back to Xiao's mansion, and she didn't mention Xiao Lingwei's disappearance for a few days, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

The emperor has taken this stubble to heart.

Yang Huijun was a little embarrassed, she was anxious and worried about Xiao Lingwei, of course she hoped that the emperor would order the entire palace to be searched, but the rest were the masters of the palaces after all, even if she dared to offend them, she didn't dare to offend the emperor, so she had to look at the emperor with a blank eye.

When the emperor saw her appearance, he remembered the days when Xiao Lingwei accompanied him in the past few days, and his heart softened, so he ordered: "Lu Mian, you and Mama Ye go to the remaining palace to find Xiao Wu, don't disturb the rest of the mothers." ”

"Yes."

The two were about to go down, when Gonggong Zhang walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Xuanwu Gate, the second son of the Yang Mansion has a message to General Yang, saying that his cousin is fine at home, please don't worry too much about General Yang." ”

Yang Huijun's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to Grandpa Zhang, "Did he really say that?" ”

Grandpa Zhang was shocked by her excited expression, but it was just an ordinary sentence, why was she so excited, "... Yes, Yang Ergongzi did say so. ”

Yang Huijun was overjoyed and looked at General Yang: "Father, did you hear that?" Weiwei went back. ”

Old General Yang smiled happily, the folds on his face were stretched, and the next moment, he lowered his face and scolded: "In front of Your Majesty, you must not be rude." ”

Yang Huijun hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are rude, please forgive your Majesty." ”

Lu Mian and Mama Ye had just walked to the door of the hall, and when they heard these words, they both stopped and looked at the emperor.

The Emperor said to them, "Don't look for it, go down first." ”

"Yes."

The emperor knew that Xiao Lingwei was fine, and he was also relieved, he was originally worried that she would be involved in tonight's palace chaos, but now he is relieved that he is fine.

"Xiao Wu was probably bored in the hall alone, so he ran out."

In the past few days, I have been used to calling Xiao Wu, and I can't change my mouth for a while, so the emperor is just like that.

"The dust in the palace has settled, you two should also go out of the palace and go home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

......

The emperor walked into the East Palace, looked at the prince who was tied to a chair, his eyes showed pain, he walked very slowly step by step, and the fragments of the prince's childhood kept flashing in his mind.

The more this happened, the more painful his heart became.

Finally, he stopped in front of the prince and asked, "Did you place the poison in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

The prince was surprised: "What poison?" I didn't poison it. ”

The emperor didn't believe it: "You're going to kill your own father, and you still don't dare to admit the bad things you have done?" ”

The prince suddenly became very excited, and shouted: "I admit what I have done, and I will never admit what I have not done." ”

The Emperor looked at the crown prince deadly, trying to see in his face that he was lying, but he didn't see anything.

Could it be that the poison of the Heart Nourishing Temple was really not caused by him?

The crown prince suddenly laughed, and the corners of his mouth showed mockery: "Haha, you see how failed you are as an emperor, not only I want to kill you, but others want to kill you." ”

"Presumptuous." The Emperor roared.

"Presumptuous? Haha, I'm already presumptuous enough tonight, and I don't care about adding more, isn't my father here just to deal with me?

"I'm here, at my father's disposal."

At this moment, the crown prince is no longer the prince who was polite, modest and elegant in front of the emperor in the past, but has a bit of a broken jar.

The look in his eyes at the emperor was sad, even a hint of provocation and joy.

The emperor showed a sad expression, "I didn't expect you to become like this now, killing your father, murdering your brother, deliberately provoking palace chaos, and ignoring the safety of the people.

"I really didn't expect that the prince I taught with my own hands would be an unfilial and unjust obstacle."

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but slap his palm on the table, probably with too much force, and stumbled a step.

The crown prince sneered: "Father, look at you, you are already old, why do you want to occupy this position again?"

"I was trained by you, and I am familiar with the ways of governing the country and the skills of the courtiers.

"I am the crown prince of Dayuan, the prince of a country, and those subjects also believe that I will be the next saintly monarch.

"I'm confident that I won't be worse than my father in the future, why does my father look down on me?"

"I don't like you?" The emperor smiled bitterly: "If I look down on you, I will make you the crown prince?"

"If I look down on you, I will enlighten you myself when you are three years old? Asking you the best teacher in the world to teach you?

"If I look down on you, how can I do my best to pave the way for your future, how can I dispose of your relatives for you first, lest you fall into the reputation of being a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey after you ascend the throne?"

The crown prince was stunned, but still refused to believe it, "You are talking nonsense, you obviously see that the power of your relatives is getting stronger and stronger, endangering your throne, so you deal with them." ”

"You—" The Emperor was so angry that his wound hurt again, "stubborn." ”

The emperor clutched his chest, slowed down a little, and then left angrily.

As soon as I walked out of the East Palace, I saw the queen guarding the side.

When the queen saw him, she immediately pounced: "Your Majesty, the prince made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and the concubine and the concubine have no way to teach the son, please Your Majesty calm your anger, and punish the concubine if you want to punish it." ”

The emperor had a straight face: "If you say so, isn't it me who has no way to teach my son?" Then I should be punished? ”

The queen hurriedly explained: "No, the concubine doesn't mean that, Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can it be wrong?" The fault is all the concubines and the crown prince. ”

"Since there is a mistake, it should be punished, let alone a major crime of treason." The emperor condemned the crown prince with a single sentence.

The queen took a few steps on her knees, hugged the emperor's legs, and cried: "Your Majesty, the prince has a pure temperament, for so many years, he has been self-denying, conscientious and conscientious in political affairs, and he has never done a single transgressive thing.

"This time he suddenly did such a big rebellious thing, it must have been framed by others, together with the villains around him, that made the prince do such a wrong thing.

"Please be gracious and forgive the prince."

The emperor bent down, tore her hands apart, took a few steps to the side, and snorted coldly: "I have taught him carefully for twenty years, and I have personally taught him in political affairs.

"If he can be picked up by a villain in his twenties, it means that he doesn't know people and can't distinguish between right and wrong.

"Even so, if the country is handed over to him, it will be destroyed in his hands in the future.

"Such a useless prince, don't do it."

The queen was shocked, and then hurriedly crawled towards the emperor: "Your Majesty, please spare the prince for the sake of our husband and wife relationship for so many years, please." ”

The Emperor dodged her cling, still with a grim expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the prince this time, please." The queen kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please, the concubine is willing to kneel here and beg Your Majesty to forgive the prince." ”

The emperor threw his sleeves away, and his words drifted in the wind: "Since you like to kneel, then kneel..."
