The second prince knelt outside the palace. When he heard Yu Zhaoyi's voice, his expression was unexpectedly solemn, as if he didn't even know that Yu Zhaoyi was inside.
"Yu Zhaoyi, I have made it very clear to you, are you still stubborn?"
Yu Zhaoyi smiled foolishly in the palace, "Who can break the word love? Since you are so heartless, that's all!"
Yu Zhaoyi's last note suddenly sounded louder, and the next moment she used all her strength to get up and hit the pillar beside her hard!
The prince's fingers moved slightly, then tightened them again in an instant.
No one in the palace knew that he knew martial arts.
This Yu Zhaoyi wanted to die to excuse her second brother. However, her life and death in today's situation was already determined, and it was not worth it for him to expose this trump card.
boom--
Without anyone to stop him, Yu Zhaoyi hit the pillar hard, with a dull and shocking sound.
The queen took hold of the fourth prince in time and pressed his head into her arms.
The fourth prince is not afraid. He has also been through the gate of hell once, and he has already foreseen Yu Zhaoyi's ending.
No matter what happens to the second brother today, there is no way Yu Zhaoyi will survive.
A cluster of blood flowers bloomed on the palace pillars, bright red.
Yu Zhaoyi slid down slowly against the pillar, staring directly in the direction of Emperor Yong with his eyes wide open.
This was the last calculation Yu Zhaoyi made with his own life.
She had long heard that Concubine Yu committed suicide and never closed her eyes. When Emperor Yong arrived, Concubine Yu's eyes were still open.
She looks similar to Concubine Yu, hoping that Emperor Yong could use this to remember the tragic death of his beloved woman and firmly protect the last trace of Concubine Yu's blood!
Emperor Yong watched Yu Zhaoyi die after touching the pillar. Looking at those eyes that were gradually losing their luster, he suddenly took a step back.
He didn't know how many times he had dreamed of this face and expression.
Every time he dreamed, he couldn't stop Yu Liu from committing suicide, and every time he had to re-experience the heartbreaking pain and despair.
The prince saw Emperor Yong's sudden change of expression and couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes.
He probably had the answer in his mind.
Outside the palace, the second prince only heard a muffled sound, and there was no more movement from Yu Zhaoyi.
There was a hidden guess in his mind, and he thought secretly: At the critical moment, he is not a waste.
He paused for a moment, then raised his voice and shouted: "Father? I still want my father to punish me!"
Squeak——
The door of Funing Palace suddenly opened from the inside. Emperor Yong stood at the door of the palace, looking down at the second prince kneeling on the ground.
The second prince raised his head at the right time, his face full of fear.
Emperor Yong met the second prince's eyes and his heart trembled slightly.
Compared to Yu Zhaoyi, the second child's autumn eyes are exactly the same as Yu Liu's.
It's just that the second child has even passed on his temperament to Yu Liu. He is just as disobedient and makes him sad...
"Queen." Emperor Yong suddenly spoke.
The Queen stepped forward step by step and stood one step behind Emperor Yong.
Emperor Yong turned his head and looked at the queen, and said in a calm tone: "Yu Zhaoyi has confessed. She died innocently, so there is no need to keep the whole body."
The queen said nothing.
Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked at the second prince on the ground, and continued:
"The second child has indeed done something wrong. Although it didn't lead to a big mistake, he must be punished. How does the queen think he should be punished?"
The queen didn't even raise her eyelids, but a chill arose in her heart.
The Holy Emperor didn't want to punish the second prince severely, and at the same time he didn't want the prince and the fourth prince to break away from him, so he threw this mess to her.
Is he sure that she has been docile and obedient for so many years, and today she will be like before, complying with his wishes in everything, and solving his problems?
It's ridiculous. Does the Holy One know that the second prince hurt her son?
She is the Queen of the Holy Emperor, but she is also the mother of Xiaosi!
"Returning to the Holy Spirit, according to the old rules, if the prince has an affair with the concubine and causes chaos in the harem, his clan status should be reduced and he should be demoted to a commoner."
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Queen, the second child is not guilty of this."
The queen had long expected that Emperor Yong would stop him. She looked calm and said calmly:
"I'm just following the old routine. If your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate, you might as well make your own decision."
Emperor Yong hesitated a little. At this time, the second prince kowtowed to the ground and said with sorrow in his voice: "My son, I acted carelessly and caused trouble. I will let my father punish me!"
As soon as the prince led the fourth prince to the queen's side, he heard Emperor Yong say in a deep voice:
"Second brother, you really deserve the punishment. From today on, you will be fined for one year and grounded for one year. Without my will, you will not be allowed to leave Chonghua Palace!"
The second prince faced the ground, and when he heard this, he slightly stretched his eyebrows.
Such a dangerous level has been passed.
Just as he was about to thank him, the queen's cold voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, please send the second prince to the clan mansion."
As soon as these words came out, the second prince frowned again.
Being banned from the Chonghua Palace and being banned from the sect's residence are completely different. Once a relative of the emperor enters the sect's residence, there must be a big mistake.
After entering the sect's mansion, he was considered stained, and he was further away from that position!
Emperor Yong's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and his mood could not be seen.
The queen was not afraid at all and continued to speak:
"Your Majesty, although the second prince did not make a big mistake today, he was bewitched by Yu Zhaoyi after all. He was even willing to cover up her attempt to murder the Holy Majesty and the prince."
"And today, Xiao Si almost died at the hands of Yu Zhaoyi! Now that I think about it, I still feel terrified!"
"If the second prince can twist Yu Zhaoyi in front of the Holy Master in time, there will be no need for Xiao Si to walk through the gate of hell!"
"I just want the second prince to reflect deeply. After all, he is only grounded in the clan's mansion for one year, not to return to the palace forever!"
Seeing that Emperor Yong still disagreed, the queen suddenly walked up to Emperor Yong and knelt down directly!
"Mother!"
The prince and the fourth prince shouted at the same time.
The queen looked resolute, raised her eyes and looked directly at Emperor Yong, and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, I ask myself that I have never treated my second brother unfairly in all these years. Today, when my fourth son is in danger, I cannot bear it."
"Last time Di Zaiying assassinated Xiaosi, the Holy One upheld justice, and I had no intervention. How could I have to do it again today, hurting my and Xiaosi's hearts?"
When Emperor Yong heard the queen suddenly mention Di Zaiying, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Eunuch Huang stood quietly aside. When he heard the queen's words, he thought to himself:
This time the Empress has really got things wrong. The old relationship between Di Zaiying and Empress Yu Liu is already a worry for the Holy Emperor.
At this time, the prince also stood up.
With a calm look on his face, he pulled the fourth prince to kneel beside the queen and said warmly:
"Father, I know that what happened today was not what the second brother wanted. The second brother has always loved Xiaosi. If he knew that Yu Zhaoyi would hurt Xiaosi afterwards, he would never be confused for a moment."
When Emperor Yong heard this, he thought that the prince was interceding on behalf of the second prince.
Unexpectedly, the prince changed the subject and continued:
"After all, the second brother is still too young, that's why he is easily bewitched by Yu Zhaoyi. Therefore, my son and I agree that it is better to send the second brother to the clan mansion to reflect on it."
"At the end of the one-year period, I will personally go to the clan mansion to pick up my second brother back to the palace. From now on, we, brothers and sisters, will serve our father together!"
When the second prince heard this, he turned his head suddenly and looked at the prince steadily.
In so many years, this is the first time that the prince has faced him head-on!
