[Alas, I have to say that Concubine Wan’s PUA is right...]
"Please, father, have mercy on me."
Chu Moyuan angrily rolled up his sleeves and sat on a chair nearby: "Kneel down and wake up!"
The little prince pursed his lips and looked particularly stubborn.
"Ever since Erchen can remember, people in the palace have often said that Erchen's biological mother didn't like Erchen and wanted to strangle him to death when he was just born. At the critical moment, the mother-in-law desperately saved the baby. The son and minister in the middle..."
Chu Moyuan narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Which slave is talking nonsense! Do you think I dare not kill him?
The little prince's voice had an imperceptible tremor: "The scar on my concubine's cheek was left to save my son..."
"The Taifu has taught his sons and ministers since they were young that kindness should be repaid but resentment should be forgotten; repaying resentment is short but repaying kindness is long... Knowing how to repay kindness is the greatest good thing."
The little prince's words silenced the room, and Chu Moyuan, who was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, just gritted his teeth but did not refute.
Because what he said is true!
When Empress Gao became pregnant, she became more and more crazy. After giving birth to the little prince, she almost wanted to strangle him to death. If Concubine Wan hadn't arrived in time...
This is also the reason why Chu Moyuan can safely put the young prince under the lap of Concubine Wan to raise him.
However, when everyone was silent, Shen Zhizhi spoke quietly.
【save you? My little unlucky brother, they are going to kill you! 】
[Do you know why your biological mother died of illness? That's because after your mother-in-law became pregnant, she added chronic crazy drugs to your mother-in-law's food and drinking water every day, causing your biological mother to become crazy after giving birth to you, unable to recognize anyone, and eventually died of madness. 】
When these words fell, not only the little prince was in disbelief, but the other three were also shocked.
[You said she saved you at a critical moment? In fact, she is the one who wants to kill you! With you here, you are the eldest son, the current prince, and the future heir apparent. She wants to strangle you in the cradle while you are young. 】
The little prince's stubborn little face turned pale.
[So when your biological mother was weak after giving birth to you, she bribed the palace maid and sneaked into your biological mother's and your room secretly, intending to strangle you to death. 】
[Unexpectedly, your biological mother woke up in a panic. Although she was confused, she subconsciously protected you. In desperation, she scratched her face with a fragment of the vase next to her. She wanted to continue, but unexpectedly, the emperor's uncle came at this time. In desperation, She can only pretend to protect you and turn your mother-in-law into a perpetrator! 】
The little prince, who was only six years old, felt that his world was falling apart at this moment. If what she said was true...
[And the only palace maid who knew the inside story was bribed by her, and the truth of the year was reversed, and she will remain wrong forever! 】
The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, Chu Moyuan's hands were shaking imperceptibly, and the little prince was kneeling there precariously.
He subconsciously didn't want to believe those words, and he argued with white lips: "The mother-in-law once killed the nun who was ordered by Shu-fei to poison the son... If it weren't for the mother-in-law, the son-in-law would have been poisoned to death..."
[This is even simpler. You have been raised under her knees. She believes that sooner or later, the emperor's uncle will straighten you out. In the future, she will be the Queen Mother when you ascend the throne! How could she let you die! 】
[What's more, this is a trap designed by her. If Concubine Shu sends someone to poison you, it's obviously someone she sent herself! 】
[The thief calls out to catch the thief, killing two birds with one stone. Not only does it put Concubine Shu into the cold palace, but it also makes people believe that she truly loves and protects you... As expected of a PUA master, she is really vicious. 】
The little prince listened to everything at a loss. If all this was true, then even if he died in a head-on collision, it would be shameless to see his mother and concubine!
Chu Moyuan sat by the desk with his eyes closed, making people completely unaware of what he was thinking, while Chu Shuanglan stood behind Chu Weixuan, both of them silent.
Everyone has grown up in the deep palace, so if they can survive, they will definitely be familiar with these methods.
They couldn't say that what Zhizhi said was definitely true, but there was at least a 90% chance that it was true. But now the question came, how could they let the imperial brother know about it?
The positions of Chu Shuanglan and Chu Weixuan prevented them from seeing each other's expressions. However, even if they could see it, they would not find that the other party could also hear Shen Zhizhi's thoughts.
His Royal Highness Prince Huai, who is as graceful as a fox and as cunning as a fox, never shows his true expression on his face, and His Royal Highness Prince Li, who is as cold as an iceberg, always has a cold expression.
And Chu Moyuan's eyes were closed, making it impossible to predict any expression. It didn't look like he could hear Shen Zhizhi's heartfelt voice at all.
The little prince was probably the only one in the room who showed everything on his face, but the three of them thought he was frightened by the discovery of the scars on his body.
"The prince will be confined to the East Palace and will spend half a month behind closed doors. No one is allowed to visit."
Chu Moyuan gave these instructions with a cold face, and the eunuch guards outside the door accepted the order one after another.
Chu Moyuan stood up expressionlessly, glanced at Chu Shuanglan and Chu Weixuan: "Let's go."
He actually wanted to take Chu Weixuan away as well.
Seeing this scene, the little prince, who had always abided by etiquette, was dignified and generous, and did not panic even when he heard the truth about his life experience, fear appeared in his eyes for the first time.
Not caring about anything else, he reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Chu Moyuan who was about to leave.
There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice, as if he might cry at any time: "Father, I know that I am wrong. I beg Father not to leave me alone in the East Palace..."
His pleading eyes fell into Chu Moyuan's eyes, causing Chu Moyuan's hands in his sleeves to tremble. The purpose of letting the prince shut up and think about his mistakes was to ensure that he would not be affected while he was thoroughly investigating these matters.
But what kind of expression did he have? It was as if the decree he had given was not to dwell on his past behind closed doors, but to drag him out and behead him!
How could such a dignified man show such an expression!
Just when Chu Moyuan was about to reprimand, he heard Shen Zhizhi say over there:
[What a cruel uncle of the emperor, he wants to leave the little prince alone in the East Palace! 】
Chu Moyuan thought to himself: What's wrong with staying alone in the East Palace?
Why do you say it as if you want to leave him alone in the underworld!
And why are you alone? Could it be that all the guards, maids, and eunuchs in the East Palace are not human beings? !
And his purpose was not to punish him, but because he heard some rumors outside and thought about it, and was affected!
Chu Shuanglan and Chu Weixuan on the side were also a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, the little prince seemed to be really afraid of staying alone in the East Palace.
Especially when night falls, before His Royal Highness Prince Li comes to the East Palace, the little prince will make a fuss every night, just as Eunuch Su said, with the eternal excuse: there are assassins.
Although Chu Moyuan did not change his will, his voice became less serious: "Man, I didn't want you to break into the underworld, why do you do this?"
