Cao Dejiang had been paying attention to Xiao Yan, and his eyes twitched when he saw this.
The second prince was even more stunned. Although the porcelain pillow was hollow, it had sharp edges and was quite heavy. The pillow almost killed him when it hit him.
A long gash was cut on his forehead, and his face was smeared with blood. When he was dizzy and kneeling on the ground, he accidentally pressed on a piece of broken porcelain. His hands were shaking in pain, and his eyes were soon stained with blood. The color makes it almost impossible to see what is in front of you.
"Father...father..."
"You still know that I am your father? Otherwise, why should I just call you dad?"
Emperor An was really angry. He didn't feel any sympathy for the second prince whose face was covered with blood. Instead, he cursed at him indiscriminately.
"Who allows you to interfere in the affairs of the harem? In the case of the Lu family, have I ever said that no one except the Privy Council can interfere without authorization?"
"You still dare to expose the royal scandal in front of the court. Do you think my words fall on deaf ears, or do you think that I, the emperor, have hindered the future of your second prince? You wish you could have disgraced me earlier and be laughed at by the world, so that you can make room for your second prince. road?!"
The second prince was dizzy, but he still clearly heard the rebellious words in Emperor An's mouth. He knelt on the ground and said urgently:
"I don't dare. I am just afraid that my father will be deceived. I just want to share my father's worries..."
"Snapped--"
The stack of things handed over by the second prince earlier was thrown away and fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Share the worries?"
When Emperor An was extremely angry, his eyes were extremely gloomy: "Who do you think you are, sharing my worries? You really think that I don't know your shameful thoughts."
"You used to hide and seduce the court officials, but I turned a blind eye and never investigated, but now you dare to plot against me."
"You obviously knew that there was a hidden secret in King Cheng's case, and you tricked the fourth child into getting the evidence, but you kept silent, and instead joined forces with Cui Lin to deceive the king."
"Xie Pingjia, I really underestimated you. You actually have connections with people in my harem, and you actually dared to take the female official of Fengxi Palace out of the palace without telling everyone, just to add insult to injury today."
"You want to step on the Lu family and make the world laugh at me as an emperor who has no eyesight and married a shabby shoe to be the queen. Do you want everyone to ridicule me for being a bastard who has been raising King Cheng for twenty years?!!"
The more Emperor An spoke, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more severely he scolded.
Just think of the veiled glances of the courtiers in the morning court, the way the Second Prince and Cui Lin exposed the Queen's affair with Prince Cheng one after another, and slapped him in the face one after another.
The anger that he had finally suppressed after taking the golden elixir rose again. Emperor An's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he couldn't understand his hatred just by cursing in his mouth.
He stood up and walked towards the second prince. When Xiao Yan saw this, he silently picked up the hem of his clothes and moved it to the side. When Emperor An came closer, he raised his foot and kicked the second prince violently in the heart, which was already bleeding and dizzy. The second prince kicked him over.
"Do you really want to embarrass me? Do you want everyone in the world to know that I have been a green-haired bastard for twenty years?"
"You ripped off the face of the entire royal family and threw it to the ground for people to trample on. I just wish that there had never been someone like you. When your bitch's mother was pregnant with you, I should have ordered people to beat her to death. I won’t give birth to an unfilial thing like you!”
The second prince fell to the ground, his heart and forehead hurt terribly, but it was not as severe as the words from Emperor An's mouth.
He denied him as a prince almost from the beginning to the end, and even said that his mother and concubine were despicable and regretted letting him be born. That "unfilial" sentence almost ruined his future.
"Father, please calm down..."
The second prince quickly turned over and climbed up, trying to hug Emperor An's legs.
"My son has no disloyal heart, and I have never wanted to embarrass my father. My son... I am just afraid that my father will be kept in the dark by the Lu family..."
He burst into tears, and the tears mixed with blood fell on his face, looking extremely embarrassed.
"My father has great faith in the Lu family and has never doubted them. The queen has deceived my father for many years. Seeing that my father is still thinking about letting go of the Lu family and caring about them, I feel for my father." It’s not worth it, so I’ll be confused and tell you about the queen in public.”
The second prince dared to think about any merits at this moment. Emperor An's words made him feel cold all over, and he also realized what stupid thing he had done in the morning.
The matter between Empress Lu and Prince Cheng was a scandal in the royal family. The emperor's father had been cuckolded for twenty years, and the son he had raised for twenty years actually exposed it in public...
The second prince hugged Emperor An's legs hanging from the dragon robe tightly, his face turned pale and he cried and begged.
"I don't dare to hook up with people in the palace. That golden branch was really discovered by me accidentally. I will never dare to deceive my father."
"I'm just afraid that my father will be deceived. I'm afraid that the queen will hide the truth from the people in the Privy Council and confuse the blood of the royal family. I'm just confused for a moment, so I beg my father to spare me..."
It was fine that the second prince didn't mention the Privy Council, but mentioning it simply hurt Emperor An's heart.
Emperor An suddenly raised his foot and kicked the second prince away, and shook off the dragon robe that he was holding.
"Do you think the whole world can do it? Or do you think you, a useless fool, can defeat the countless owl guards of my Privy Council?"
"What you can find out, the Privy Council can't find out?!"
The second prince's expression changed drastically and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked cold and said quietly: "I have told the second prince a long time ago that His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to interfere in the Lu family's case. I also reminded the second prince not to investigate things that should not be investigated."
"I already knew about Queen Lu's affairs on the third day after the Lu family was imprisoned. It's just that we still need evidence to completely sort out Prince Cheng's affairs."
"As soon as I found out about this, I immediately locked up all the people with knowledge in the secret cells of the Privy Council, and ordered people to keep them under strict guard, for fear that they would leak the information and tarnish the reputation of the royal family."
"The matter of the Queen and her son is a scandal in the royal family. Once it was spread, it would hurt His Majesty's face. After sorting out everything yesterday, I originally planned to report the matter to Your Majesty privately after the court and deal with the Queen and her son secretly. But who would have thought that the two The prince and Cui Shangshu are so capable."
The second prince listened to Xiao Yan's words and looked at his face full of indifference and disgust. He suddenly remembered what Xiao Yan had said to him when he left the palace that day.
He told him very seriously not to interfere in the Lu family's affairs and not to have contact with the Lu family's people, so as not to cause trouble.
It's him.
It was because he was greedy for the benefits brought about by the fall of the Lu family, and because he wanted to push someone to occupy the position vacated by the Lu family, that he turned a deaf ear to Xiao Yan's words and secretly investigated Queen Lu behind his back.
He even tried his best to hide it from Xiao Yan after learning about Empress Lu and Prince Cheng. He did not discuss it with him, fearing that Xiao Yan would take away his credit, and he thought he had a huge advantage and was overjoyed.
