The king frowned when he heard the word "silver beads".
If he remembers correctly, the boss's favorite concubine seems to have this name, right? So, Yinzhu was lurking beside the boss more than ten years ago?
When his thoughts reached this point, the stunning face and the secret letter with beautiful handwriting and sincere words flashed in the king's mind.
Such foresight and foresight are just as frightening as when they sent people to steal the soul-drawing Gu, and also sent portraits and secret letters!
The boss is really a loser. He fell down twice in a row on the beauty trap. He couldn't even see the person next to him clearly. He has been fooled around for more than ten years!
"Boss!"
The king suddenly gave a low and majestic shout, which startled the confused eldest prince. His face was pale, his feet were frozen in place, and he was completely confused.
When the king saw this, he shook his head completely in his heart and said coldly: "Guan Sheng, send people to the eldest prince's mansion to capture Shen Yuanbai and Concubine Yinzhu together."
"If they are hiding, find them at all costs!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Guan immediately accepted the order, hurriedly walked down from the jade case, passed by the eldest prince, and left the imperial study.
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao paid special attention to Che Hebi.
Hearing that the king sent people to arrest Shen Yuanbai, Che Hebi frowned, but his expression did not change much, and he never stood up to say a word for Shen Yuanbai. It seemed that he had completely drawn a clear line with Shen Yuanbai.
Qiao Jiaojiao was suspicious. King Jinyu had never had a son. Shen Yuanbai was definitely still the first candidate to inherit the throne in King Jinyu's eyes, so he would definitely not sit idly by and ignore Shen Yuanbai.
[Master Che is so calm, I'm afraid he has already had a bad relationship with Shen Yuanbai. Is he confident? How else can they make trouble in Nanli Country? Could it be using the eldest prince's manpower? 】
[In this case, Baili Chengyou shouldn’t sit still and wait for death, right? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts were spinning in her mind. When she looked up again, she found that her eldest brother also glanced at Che Hebi vaguely, and then looked at Baili Chengyou for a moment.
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
[Why do I feel that eldest brother and Baili Chengyou seem to have a particularly tacit understanding tonight? It seems that when Meng Guxue and I were kidnapped, a lot of things happened on the boat. 】
Eunuch Guan left the palace. The eldest prince turned to look at Eunuch Guan's back, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
The hall suddenly fell into silence. Baili Chengyou looked at his dazed brother and then at his father with gloomy eyebrows, knowing that it was almost time to close the net.
He took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Father, now the matter between the mother and the second brother has come to light. In any case, the rumors were spread from the mouth of the eldest brother. By using such despicable methods, the eldest brother is in vain to be the royal son!"
"I also ask my father to uphold justice for my mother, my second brother, and my sons and ministers. I will deprive my eldest brother of the title of prince and deal with it impartially!"
The eldest prince was still standing there in a daze. The Yin Zhu incident took away most of his mind, making him feel as if he had leaked through a sieve. Baili Chengyou fought back, and he didn't even react for a moment.
When the phrase "cut off the prince's position" started to circulate in his mind, the eldest prince's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he said quickly:
"Third brother, the eldest brother has just said that all this is Shen Yuanbai's conspiracy, and the eldest brother has also been calculated, why is he punished so severely!"
Baili Chengyou sneered when he heard this. He strode up to the eldest prince. He looked much taller and straighter than his eldest brother.
"Planning? Brother, do you think you can get away with it by putting all the blame on Shen Yuanbai?"
"It's so difficult for women in this world. Before you spread those rumors everywhere, did you ever think that you would force my mother to die because of it?"
"Or, forcing my mother to death was part of my eldest brother's plan. Shen Yuanbai only played a role in fueling the flames!"
"Can the person who stabbed the knife pass the responsibility to the person who sharpened the knife?"
Baili Chengyou glared angrily and raised his eyebrows, forcing the eldest prince to take a step back.
The eldest prince's face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute for a while. There was even a trace of surprise in his eyes that could not be concealed.
For the first time, he felt so clearly that the young brother he ignored back then had grown to the point where even he could hardly face his anger.
Seeing that the eldest prince was speechless, Baili Chengyou suddenly turned around and knelt down heavily towards the king.
"I also ask my father to severely punish my eldest brother, seek justice for my mother, and clear her name!"
The wife of the Queen Mother stood aside and saw Baili Chengyou kneeling there with his back straight and his voice speaking for her. Her eyes couldn't help but feel sour.
Yuer...
The king stood up slowly after hearing this. His face was solemn. He first took a deep look at Baili Chengyou, then walked around the jade case and walked slowly to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince couldn't help but feel fear in his heart when he saw the cold gaze of the king. He softened his voice, with a hint of pleading.
"Father, I already know my mistake, but I--"
Snapped!
The king raised his hand and slapped the eldest prince mercilessly. The force was so strong that it even knocked the eldest prince's upper body to the side.
There was no sound in the palace for a while. The eldest prince's face was burning with pain, and his heart was even more painful.
This slap, in front of the emperor's younger brother, the emperor's sister, and envoys from other countries, trampled on his dignity as a prince, and cut off his path to the crown prince.
"How dare you quibble!"
The king made an angry sound, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.
The eldest prince's heart sank little by little. He turned back and stared at the king in front of him, and suddenly murmured:
"Father, what did my son do so poorly?"
When the king heard this, he became even more angry. This idiot actually had the nerve to ask such a question!
"Look at what you have done. You are being fooled by an outsider. You can't even see the thoughts of the person next to you. You are being used without knowing it. How could you be such a stupid person!"
But at this time, the eldest prince was extremely calm in the face of the lord's fierce rebuke.
He shook his head and looked at the king with despair in his eyes.
"It's not this, Father, it's not this."
As the eldest prince spoke, a smile that looked uglier than crying suddenly appeared on his face.
"Father, do you think your son and minister don't know this? Your favorite candidate for crown prince has always been your second brother, right?"
"Since you have been interested in your second brother from the beginning, why do you show so closeness to me and let me have fantasies again and again!"
The slap mark on his face stung extremely, but it was not as painful as the despair in his heart. There were some things that the eldest prince had wanted to say for a long time, but now it was rare for him to have some courage.
The king's eyebrows jumped slightly when he heard this, and the expressions of other people in the palace also changed more or less.
The eldest prince saw the king's expression in his eyes and couldn't help but smile sadly. He slowly knelt down in front of the king.
"Yes! The rumors between the madam and the second brother were spread by my son, but that's because the two of them had an affair before. This is a fact! Who knows if they are still disconnected now!"
"But Father, after the incident, you would rather give your wife wine and let her die in her sleep, rather than scolding your second brother. You even ordered people to spread the news that your wife wanted to die to show her ambition, thus completely destroying your second brother." Take it out, how well-intentioned you are for your second brother!"
"Father, I don't understand! If you have regarded me as an abandoned son from the beginning, why don't you alienate me and neglect me? In this way, if your second brother ascends the throne, I may still be an idle prince."
"But you have shown your preference for your son in front of everyone in the world time and time again. Father, you said that if the second brother becomes the king of the country, how can a "favored" eldest brother like my son have a life? Are you here?"
"This time, if I don't make a move, if I don't put all my efforts into it, on the day of the birthday banquet, my father will announce in public that I will appoint my second brother as the crown prince. At that time, my second brother's name is just and right. How can I fight? What can I use to fight for?" "
"Father, you forced me to do this! Is it my fault that I was born into an emperor's family? The chance to make a comeback is right in front of me, shouldn't I fight for it?"
"Father, please tell me why all this is happening!"
There was silence in the palace, and everyone looked at the king with different thoughts.
The king lowered his head, looked at the eldest prince who was kneeling in front of him and had completely lost his composure, and suddenly asked in a cold voice:
"Boss, do you still remember the stolen soul-drawing Gu?"
