Chapter 278: Walking the Water

In this regard, the Ministry of Rites once cautiously asked the emperor's opinion, but what he got was the emperor's silence, which made the Ministry of Rites unpredictable.

In the end, they didn't ask anything, and they were waved out of the imperial study by the emperor.

While everyone was waiting and seeing the matter of Concubine Chun, the second prince stepped into the emperor's imperial study. According to the eunuch who was waiting for the imperial study, on that day, the second prince knelt in the imperial study and knelt for a whole day, not knowing what to say to the emperor.

After the second prince came out of the imperial study, Concubine Chun's funeral finally had a result - buried with the rank of a concubine! Not only that, but the emperor even issued a holy decree to hand over Fang Chen'an and the others who were still in the prison to the second prince to deal with!

This move shocked the harem and the court, and everyone thought that the emperor's move was inappropriate, so they all played a broken admonition, they thought that the second prince would lynch the other party Chen'an and others because of the death of Concubine Chun.

But no matter what everyone admonished, the emperor was unmoved, and even said: "Regardless of whether the matter between Fang Chen'an and Concubine Chun is true or not, it is a capital crime for him to dare to involve the concubine as a slave, in this case, what is wrong with the second prince using lynching?" The courtiers had nothing to say.

And the concubines in the harem, led by the queen, were jealous of the emperor's actions to protect Concubine Chun and the second prince, they didn't expect that even if Concubine Chun was still accused of fornication, and even if the person was dead, the emperor could still maintain it like this!

However, no matter how jealous the concubines were, they didn't dare to come to the emperor and make irresponsible remarks and anger the emperor, didn't they see that the emperor could even face the queen! Replaced by other concubines, I don't know how the emperor will be angry!

So the people who couldn't stop the emperor's behavior could only watch quietly, they wanted to see how the second prince would treat Fang Chenan and the others.

Unexpectedly, except for going to the prison to visit Fang Chenan and others on the day when the emperor handed over Fang Chenan and the others to him, the second prince never went to the prison again, and when he went to visit Fang Chenan and his party that day, he just sat quietly on the side, and the interrogation was carried out by the subordinates around him, but he himself never opened a word.

Originally, when Fang Chenan and the others saw the second prince, they saw that he was just a ten-year-old child, and they wanted to fool him, but who expected him to sit aside without saying a word, and a pair of eyes like the night just looked at them quietly, and they didn't dare to look him directly in the end!

Later, after dealing with Concubine Chun's funeral, the second prince only quietly and obediently completed the homework assigned by Mr. Daily in the palace, and took care of the third prince wholeheartedly.

He never mentioned Concubine Chun again, nor did he step into the prison for half a step, except for his increasingly indifferent and silent temperament, there was no distance or strangeness in his daily words and deeds. Those who watched were puzzled.

Everyone doesn't understand, do these two princes want to get justice for his mother, that is, Concubine Chun? Or did he acquiesce that what happened that day was true? But if he acquiesced, why did he kneel in the imperial study for a day? What did he say to the emperor at that time? What did he want to do with Fang Chenan and the others?

There are too many questions to hover the words on everyone's heads, even the emperor himself doesn't know what his son is thinking, he has asked the second prince in private several times, and the second prince always has only one answer:

"Father wait patiently, everything will come to an end."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything anymore, the emperor sighed, and finally went with him.

Later, people gradually put the matter of Concubine Chun behind and paid attention to new and more noticeable things.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and the second prince, who was ten years old that day, has grown to thirteen years old, and the third prince, who was five years old that day, has grown to eight years old.

In the past three years, the third prince has been following the second prince and taking care of it by the second prince himself. In the past three years, the two brothers have suffered many plots in the harem, and they almost lost their lives several times!

Although Concubine Chun has died, and no one is competing for the favor of the harem concubines, the existence of the second prince has jeopardized the status of other princes, not to mention, in the past three years, the queen has also given birth to a son-in-law!

But no matter what kind of conspiracy, it was blocked by the second prince, and he resolutely protected him and the third prince to grow up steadily in the past three years, no matter how seriously injured, in the end he and the third prince could survive safely!

The people in the harem and the court were very shocked, because they found that in the past three years, unconsciously, and at some point, the second prince has gradually cultivated many capable people and henchmen around him, and it is these people who can protect the second prince and the third prince from being killed!

And just when everyone was shocked and admired by the ability of the second prince, the second prince sounded the drum of the Tianji Palace, and the drum sounded almost throughout the entire court and harem!

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the second prince led the third prince into the Tianji Hall step by step, and the early morning sun shone on his body through the outside of the hall, making it impossible to look directly for a while.

Walking all the way to the center of the hall, the second prince lifted his robe, knelt down with the third prince, and said loudly to the emperor at the top: "Son, wronged!" In just four words, a shocking conspiracy has been unveiled!

The emperor looked at the two sons kneeling below with a solemn expression, and he said in a deep voice: "What are you wronged? ”

The second prince knelt on the ground, straightened his back, like the concubine three years ago, he said: "Erchen is not crying out for himself, Erchen is for Erchen's mother, and the concubine of the year is crying for wrong!" One sentence surprised everyone present.

Only then did people realize that the second prince had not forgotten to find justice for the concubine in the past three years! Now he dares to beat the drum outside the Tianji Hall to shout grievances, and kneel on the Tianji Hall to shout grievances to the emperor, but he is afraid that he already has conclusive evidence in his hands!

Not only did everyone think of this, but the emperor naturally thought of it, and he said to the second prince: "Present the evidence!" ”

The second prince took out a sealed scroll from his sleeve and held it high above his head, Gonggong Chen walked down the steps, took the scroll from his hand, and then respectfully handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took the scroll, opened it and looked at it, and then he was stimulated by the content on it, he threw the scroll on the ground fiercely, and just when he wanted to speak, he saw the second prince holding another scroll in his hand!

"Go! Bring it to me! The emperor said angrily to Gonggong Chen beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." When Gonggong Chen was about to take away the second scroll in the second prince's hand, the second prince took out the third scroll from the third prince.
