Chapter 497

A glimmer of sternness flashed deep in King Zhuang's eyes, but he said in a panic: "Dadult, my father is in poor health, and I am angry with him for my affairs. I am uneasy. I want to go to the palace to see my father!"

Eunuch Feng said: "Your Highness, the emperor said, you are confined to the Prince Zhuang Mansion and think about your mistakes in the house. You are not allowed to enter the palace for two months!"

He felt a little contemptuous. The deposed prince's imperial edict was in his hands, and the edict was about to be announced. King Zhuang still called himself the palace and did not change his words? Is he accused of being addicted?

When he heard that he was confined, King Zhuang suddenly burst into tears. He cried bitterly: "It's unworthy of being a son, but my son has no choice. My Jing'er died for no reason during the palace banquet. I just did such an impulsive thing. Now I regret it very much. Chi'er of my palace was beaten seriously injured and is lying on the bed and dying. I don't know if I can save him. Wei'er of my palace... Wei'er, he was abducted by someone, and his life and death are uncertain now!"

He thought of Wen Yuanting's words and cried again: "It's Lao Wu who is back. Lao Wu injured Chi'er and kidnapped Wei'er. I must go to the palace to see my father and report it to him clearly!"

Eunuch Feng's face changed and he said in surprise: "What did you say? The second young master was beaten seriously injured, and the ninth young master was kidnapped. It was His Highness Cheng who did it? Isn't Your Highness Cheng in Yunzhou?"

King Zhuang cried, "I originally thought Lao Wu was in Yunzhou, but the person who injured Chi'er and kidnapped Wei'er left a letter, so it must be left by Lao Wu!"

He deliberately said it ambiguously, so that even if it was not done by Lao Wu, he could justify himself in the future.

If it was really done by Lao Wu, Lao Wu was a vassal king who was released from power. Without an imperial edict, I don’t know how long it has been back to Beijing. It is obvious that he has regarded the royal system as nothing and committed a taboo that a vassal king should not commit. This is the intention of being unjust.

The father will definitely get angry. As long as the father is angry, the original pity and guilt for the fifth son who lost his son will turn into anger. When his three sons die, one is injured and one is missing, and they are victims, the father's pity will change to him.

His fault was much less than that of King Liang. If he combined with his father's pity, his father would probably take it back.

When Eunuch Feng heard this, he realized the seriousness. When he heard that Prince Cheng was assassinated, many people in the court had bad premonitions. This fifth prince is the most popular, and he has no desires and no fear. He must be the same for his wife as he sees so much that he will be with their son.

If this fifth prince starts his life, he still doesn't know what will happen.

Now it seems that their worries have indeed become a fact.

But their speculation was only based on King Cheng's return to the capital by the imperial edict. Now King Cheng's return to the capital without imperial edict is too big! It is much more serious than their speculation, and we must report it to the emperor immediately!

But Eunuch Feng had no right to bring King Zhuang into the palace. He said in a hurry: "Your Highness, wait a moment, let's go to the palace to report the situation and see how the emperor decides!"

"Please give me some advice!"

Eunuch Feng left quickly and the news was also reported quickly.

A little eunuch came to pass the imperial edict immediately and met in the Xuanzhuang Palace.

King Zhuang was very happy to achieve his goal.

He had already prepared, especially when he had put away the letter and the note, and waited to pass the imperial eunuch. As soon as the eunuch's order arrived, he immediately got on the carriage and headed towards the palace quickly.

In Qinzheng Hall, he met the emperor.

Before he could speak, he was already in tears and bowed to tears.

The emperor did not let him calm down, but just asked straight to the point: "You said Lao Wu has returned to Beijing, what certificates do you have?"

King Zhuang immediately took out the letter and note, walked forward with his knees, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor took it, glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Do you think this is written by Lao Wu?"

King Zhuang said in tears: "Father, except Lao Wu, who would have a grudge against his son to kill his son? Except Lao Wu, who would dare to be so bold and dare to retaliate against his son?"

The emperor's face was not very good-looking. If he was really the fifth brother, then the fifth brother would be too lawless. His son died, wouldn't he, as the father, avenge his son? Could he still have to come to Beijing in person?

If King Cheng knew what he was thinking at this moment, the father and son might have to argue again. What he said to help him take revenge was to take the position of the third son as the crown prince, but what about his son's life? That is the life of his eldest son!

King Zhuang even regretted, "Father, I was confused for a while. I did something like that to Jingchen. My son regretted his impulse at all times. My son shouldn't have taken off his anger for Jingchen because of Jing'er's death. But even though I was wrong, the fifth brother could not return to the capital without an edict. Where did he place the law of his ancestors? What's more, it would be fine if he beat Chi'er to slander, why did he still abduct Wei'er?"

The emperor's cold eyes passed by King Zhuang. Although King Zhuang was crying and crying bitterly, he looked heartbroken, the emperor actually did not feel much pity or touch in his heart.

If you dare to attack other people's sons, you must be prepared to be revenge by others.

Also, Wen Yuanting had already found everything clearly, and even found out the cause of Huangfu Jing's death. Everything was just the third brother suffered by himself. He pretended to be like this in front of him, just to be soft-hearted and pityful.

Who is the emperor? He has been in this supreme high position for so many years and is well versed in the art of emperors and the hearts of people.

He also knew what the sons had in mind.

However, the four words "Wu Zhao Returns to Beijing" did hurt him. Although he was a father, he was also an emperor. In his heart, imperial power was more important than father-son relationship. King Zhuang thought about his position, and King Cheng ignored his imperial power, and he hated it all the same!

But his people are all over the capital. Has Lao Wu really returned to Beijing? Why didn’t he get the news?

Is it because the fifth brother has returned to Beijing, or the third brother deliberately took out these two things to confuse the public?

Thinking of this, the coldness in his eyes became a little bit more, and he raised the letter paper in his hand: "The handwriting on it doesn't seem to be very similar to that of Lao Wu. Are you sure it's Lao Wu?"

This is the second time he asked this. King Zhuang also understood that a letter and a note alone could not explain anything. He just put this matter on Lao Wu and tried to get one or two more chances for himself.

But some words are too much and too little, and he can no longer force it to involve it. This will only make the father think that he is a scapegoat. Now he is burying this seed of doubt in his heart. As long as he finds clues, the seed of doubt can be infinitely amplified.
