Huang Pei responded urgently and couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead when he left Funing Palace.
Things can't go any better today!
The empress came with great force. Seeing that she had regained some of her former temperament, she was afraid that she would no longer allow the Holy Emperor to continue to protect the second prince.
If the Holy One still insists on having his own way today, I am afraid that the husband and wife will be separated and the father and son will become enemies!
Thinking of this, Huang Pei was so frightened that he moved faster and faster.
He took a shortcut from Chunhua Garden to Chonghua Palace. Unexpectedly, he arrived at Yuhua Lake and saw the figure of the second prince in the distance.
He stood alone in front of the statue of Empress Yu Liu, his pearl-like face full of loneliness, which made people feel unbearable just looking at it.
Huang Pei's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Is the second prince just feeling this and missing Empress Yuliu now, or is he aware of what happened before and is he ready to play the emotional card?
He did not dare to think deeply, so he hurried forward to greet you and shouted in a low voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is calling for you urgently!"
The second prince was slightly shocked. He seemed to be too absorbed in looking at the statue, and was startled by Huang Pei.
Upon seeing this, Huang Pei quickly confessed, but the second prince waved his hand.
"Eunuch Huang, what do you want from me?"
"This... Your Highness, you'd better go to Funing Palace and have a look."
Huang Pei hesitated for a moment and answered respectfully.
The second prince's eyes flashed slightly, this old slave is so slippery!
In an instant, he made a sad and guilty look, and whispered: "It just so happens that I also have something to report to my father."
After saying that, the second prince strode away. Eunuch Huang was slightly startled and hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at the door of Funing Palace, before they could open the door, the second prince suddenly knelt down on his knees and said in a loud voice:
"Father, my son is guilty, please punish me!"
Eunuch Huang's hand that was about to push the palace door suddenly stopped. He was a man after all, and he understood the second prince's plan in an instant.
Thinking of this, he quickly raised his hands to the eunuchs and maids around him: "Stand back! Everyone, stand back!"
When other palace people saw the second prince kneeling in public, they all turned pale and trembled with fear.
They don't want to hear it!
If there is some secret, all of them present will lose their heads!
Now when Eunuch Huang shouted, the people in the palace retreated one after another and stood far away as if they were receiving a general amnesty.
At this time, the second prince tapped his forehead on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Father, today Yu Zhaoyi used Xiu Ran as bait to lure my son and ministers to meet at Yuhua Lake."
"My son knew that this was unethical, but because he was worried about Xiu Ran, he still went to the meeting beyond the rules. This is the first crime."
"After Yu Zhaoyi saw her son, she actually revealed her thoughts that she shouldn't have. The son was so shocked that he did not leave in time to be alone with the concubine. This is the second crime."
"Then, Yu Zhaoyi begged Erchen to take her out of the palace. In order to find out Yu Zhaoyi's true intentions, Erchen pretended to agree, but she actually said treacherous words in an attempt to murder her father and the prince's brother!"
"My son scolded her on the spot, but thinking that she was really similar to his mother and concubine, he felt compassion. Seeing that she promised not to talk nonsense, he stopped pursuing her and helped her hide it. This is the third crime! "
"However, I just stood in front of the statue of my mother and concubine and thought for a long time. I think that my mother and concubine admire my father and do not want him to be in any danger."
"Moreover, the beauty of the mother-in-law is unique in the world. Sons and ministers should not compare anyone with the mother-in-law. This is blasphemy against the mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law knew about it, I don't know how to be heartbroken."
"Therefore, I decided to expose Yu Zhaoyi's disobedient heart, confessed the three crimes to my father, and begged my father to severely punish me, so that I can feel repentant and guilty."
"But I am willing to swear to God that I and Yu Zhaoyi are innocent and have no illicit affair. Please be aware of it!"
After the second prince finished speaking, there was silence inside and outside the Funing Hall.
The queen was sitting behind the case, with her right hand on the case, and the veins on the back of her fair hand were popping out at this moment!
have a look!
Look how scheming this guy is!
He took the lead and apologized every word, but in just a few words he completely blamed himself and put everything on Yu Zhaoyi's head!
He even moved out the Jade Concubine, implying that the Holy Emperor regarded Yu Zhaoyi as the Jade Concubine, which was a blasphemy against the Jade Concubine.
She also distorted Concubine Jade's affection for the Holy Emperor in an attempt to arouse the guilt in the Holy Emperor's heart.
How does Concubine Jade treat the Holy Emperor? Can she, the queen, not know?
In order to get out of this incident, the second prince even used his own mother and concubine as a shield. He is really a good and filial son!
At only thirteen years old, someone with such a mind and reaction is truly horrifying!
The queen's face was extremely cold. She slowly turned her head to look at Emperor Yong in the palace, and saw that he looked stunned, as if he really heard what he said.
Seeing this, the queen slowly raised her lips, but her smile was full of ridicule and ridicule.
Men are really mean, and His Majesty is especially mean!
There was nothing she dared not say or think now. The words of the second prince were extremely beautiful, but upon closer inspection, any "compassion" or "admiration" were untenable!
The prince had a secret meeting with the concubine, and the concubine secretly had feelings for the prince. This was against human ethics.
According to the old system, palace concubines must be executed, and princes could be imprisoned for life or demoted to common people!
Thinking of this, the queen slowly stood up.
In this palace, Emperor Yong is the absolute master, and no one can comment on his decisions, even she, the queen.
But she hoped Emperor Yong had better think carefully.
Because this is no longer as simple as dealing with the private meeting of the emperor's concubine, this is asking him to choose between his three sons!
If today, the Holy Emperor would rather wrong her mistress than let the second prince escape intact.
So in the future, will the Holy One pull the prince down from the position of crown prince and hand over Dayongjiang Mountain to the second prince?
The prince quietly stood by the queen's side. He had not said a word since Emperor Yong's appearance.
He was also waiting for Emperor Yong to make his choice.
When Yu Zhaoyi heard the second prince's voice, her eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist.
She could hear that the second prince placed all the blame on her.
However, she didn't blame him.
Back then, she was trapped in a romantic field and suffered bullying and contempt. It was he who sent someone to rescue her from it.
Even though she knew that he wanted something from her, she really felt happy at the first sight of such a clean young man, and then she was willing to use him.
If it hadn't been for Sheng Xiuran's appearance, she wouldn't have had extravagant hopes.
Because she had always felt in her heart that for a young man as flawless as the Second Prince, no woman in the world could be worthy of him!
What happened today was caused by her, so now, let’s use this despicable life to pave the way for him one last time!
I hope he can remember her forever...
Thinking of this, Yu Zhaoyi suddenly raised her voice and spoke, her voice frivolous and full of sorrow.
"Second Prince, do you really think so little of me?"
