Queen Yuanming...
The emperor closed his eyes. Empress Yuanming was his first wife. They gave birth to three sons, and the first two were lost in the battle for heir apparent.
Isn't he sad? Naturally, he was sad. Otherwise, he would not have been so partial to the prince. He would have made him the prince when he was young, sought guidance from famous teachers, hoped that he would become talented, and hoped that he would inherit the country and country inherited from his ancestors.
But he prefers the prince, but he also hates him for not living up to expectations!
As long as he lives up to his expectations, the emperor won't be so uncomfortable.
He is older and his body is not as good as before, but there is no one who can take his place. How can he not be heartbroken? !
The emperor closed his eyes.
Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, Mr. Huang felt that his words had an effect, so he hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty and the Queen, the Crown Prince is the only one left now. If the Queen and the two princes have spirits in heaven, they will definitely be sad and uncomfortable!"
"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Please forgive the prince! You must never treat the prince like this!"
As Mr. Huang spoke, he kowtowed to the emperor several times, with tears streaming down his face. Coupled with his bruised face, he looked very embarrassed and pitiful.
In fact, Mr. Huang is not that noble and is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the prince. But after all, he is a person in the prince's boat. If the prince capsizes, he will not have a good end. But if the prince is saved in this matter and the prince gains power in the future, he There will definitely be a day of recovery.
The emperor loved his wife, the Empress Yuan, who died young, and preferred the prince. It is precisely because of this that when the prince's maternal family was in ruins and Zhao Guifei and the Zhao family were at their peak, the prince's position as heir apparent was still as stable as Mount Tai.
But if the prince made a mistake and was disgusted by the emperor, and was imprisoned in the East Palace for reflection, the situation would be delicate.
Those who originally worked for the prince would definitely worry that the emperor was disgusted with the prince and planned to depose him. Then they would inevitably have second thoughts.
Even if this thing gets over in the future, it will be difficult to go back to the past.
Therefore, Mr. Huang cannot watch such a thing happen, whether it is for himself or for the prince.
"Your Majesty! Please forgive the prince!"
The prince looked at Master Huang who was pleading for him, and then looked at the emperor with his eyes closed, and he also begged: "Father, I really know that I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. "
"In the future, I will definitely love my people and my brothers, and I will not let my father down."
"Please, Father, please spare me this time!"
The emperor waited for a long time, then opened his eyes, and then looked at the prince. The prince raised his head and met the emperor's eyes. He was suddenly surprised, then smiled and shouted: "Father."
The emperor's face instantly turned cold again, and he said thoughtfully: "Since you know your mistake, I will give you this opportunity."
The prince was pleasantly surprised. He was about to say something when he heard the emperor say: "Just reflect on yourself in the East Palace. I allow you to submit a letter in three days. When will you know where you have gone wrong, how much you have made, and how to correct it, I will Let you out."
The prince's originally surprised expression suddenly froze on his face, and he said in disbelief: "F-Father..."
He really couldn't understand that after taking out his mother and two brothers who had died early, the emperor was still unwilling to forgive him this time.
The emperor stood up and looked at the prince condescendingly: "You have done something wrong, and I am willing to forgive you once, but I also want you to know where you went wrong and not do it again in the future."
The prince was about to say something, but the emperor raised his hand to tell him to stop talking. He said, "Go ahead. When you think about it clearly, I will come out again. I'll be waiting for you."
The emperor's words have come to this point. If the prince continues to pester, it will arouse the emperor's disgust and disgust.
At this point, he could only agree. Fortunately, the emperor was still protecting him, so even if something happened, he would be able to deal with it when he came out.
So the prince kowtowed to the emperor and said sincerely: "My son, I will remember my father's teachings. I will definitely reflect on my mistakes and strive to come out as soon as possible to run errands for my father."
The emperor closed his eyes: "Go."
So the prince and Mr. Huang did not struggle and followed the people who came to escort them away. Mr. Huang felt uneasy and was frightened by the emperor. After walking a few steps, he found that his legs were extremely weak.
After leaving the palace gate, he looked at the sky outside, and for a moment he didn't know where he was.
"Cousin." The prince stopped him, "Thank you very much for speaking up for me. What happened today is that I have caused trouble for my cousin. Don't worry, my cousin will not forget your cousin in the future."
"Okay, okay, it's good if Your Highness can remember me."
After the prince said these words, he followed the people arranged by the emperor to the East Palace. Looking at the prince's back, Master Huang always felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
On that day, the gate of the East Palace was closed, and His Majesty's order was issued, asking the prince to reflect in the East Palace.
Once this incident came out, it pushed the Qingfeng Villa case to its peak.
There was discussion in the imperial city as to whether the prince had done this. In order to punish him, the emperor asked him to stay in the East Palace to reflect.
Then he talked about Li Lin's matter. Previously, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion went to arrest Li Lin, but now Li Lin is staying safely in his yard. Could it be that this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place? Otherwise, Jingzhao Mansion Yin had already come up to get someone.
People in the imperial city were talking about this matter, but King Sui was very dissatisfied with the handling of the matter.
Although the prince was imprisoned in the East Palace, the situation was of great benefit to him, but the prince destroyed Qingfeng Villa, ruined his plan, and made him very angry.
"Have the people sent to Qingzhou come back?!" King Sui asked to investigate the prince's amassing wealth and increasing taxes in Qingzhou.
The attendant on the side said: "Go back to your lord, there is news. Some evidence has indeed been found. It will take a few days to find out the matter completely."
King Sui was a little unhappy, but he thought it would only take a few days, so he tolerated it a little. He snorted coldly: "Let him rest in peace for a few days."
When the time comes and the conclusive evidence is handed over, the emperor wants to protect his son, and the crown prince's position as heir apparent is no longer secure.
King Sui thought of another thing, so he ordered: "Send someone to check that Li Jingyuan. I always feel that there is something wrong with this Li Jingyuan." King Sui really felt strange, "What happened at noon today , how could the emperor's uncle get involved to protect a small person?!"
"Moreover, he entered the palace in such a hurry to report to Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming quickly sent out Zhou guards and summoned Jingzhao Prefecture Yin to the palace with a holy order."
"I always feel that this is abnormal. There must be some secrets about Li Jingyuan that others don't know about. Maybe both my father and uncle know about it."
"Check, check carefully for me!"
"yes."
