The fifth prince was taken directly to Yuqian Palace by the Yulin Army. When he entered the palace, he was faced with the cold and angry face of his father. Chu Tianzheng's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.

"Father...Father..." Chu Tianzheng knelt down with a plop, his arrogance gone, and there was no longer the rage he had just in the eldest princess's mansion, "My son...I know my mistake, my father listen to your explanation. ! Erchen just..."

"Just what?" The emperor looked at him coldly, "Just moved your uncle's troops and affected your fight for the throne?" Chu Tianzheng's expression changed, and he kowtowed: "I never meant this! Please ask my father. The emperor is aware of it! Please be aware of it!”

"Yu Feng, tell the truth about the fifth prince's behavior after going to the eldest princess's mansion."

"yes."

Hearing this voice, Chu Tianzheng suddenly raised his head and saw a figure dressed in black kneeling in the shadow of the screen.

The man lowered his head and couldn't see clearly his expression and appearance. All he could hear was that his voice was silent and showed no emotion: "The fifth prince went to the eldest princess to question her, and asked her if she knew that Wei Feng and Ying Dongli were his uncle's subordinates. General, why did you kill the people under General Ling? The fifth prince also asked the eldest princess if she wanted to rebel, and insulted the eldest princess as a devil, a female Rakshasa, a evil spirit, a madman... The fifth prince also said that the eldest princess was relying on the emperor to give her. With the little power he has, he does whatever he wants and acts tyrannically. I asked the eldest princess if she wants to be the enemy of the world..."

As he finished each word, Chu Tianzheng's face turned pale, his whole body went limp, and he stared at him in disbelief.

Then he didn't know what he thought of, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Father! Father is aware of it, but I am just confused for a moment. I have no intention of starting a war with Qimei to ask for guilt. I really don't have it. Please be aware of it!"

"Chu Xuanyi." The emperor raised his eyes coldly, "Tell me."

"Back to the emperor," Chu Xuanyi bowed his head and saluted, "When I went to the eldest princess's house to bring back the fifth prince, I happened to hear the fifth prince losing his temper with the eldest princess. The eldest princess didn't look good, but she didn't defend herself. What."

The emperor closed his eyes: "Pull him out and give him fifty punishments."

"Father!" Chu Tianzheng looked up in shock, and the color on his face instantly faded, "Father, please spare me! I didn't mean it, and I really didn't mean to question Qimei! Father, I was wronged ——”

The emperor sternly shouted: "Pull out!"

The imperial guards hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Chu Tianzheng out one by one.

The emperor sat on the chair, his face extremely ugly.

Looking at the entire court, only Qinghuang can do things for him now. This stupid thing dared to break into the eldest princess's house to question and abuse him. He was looking for death.

His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath: "Chen Hai."

"The slave is here."

"What has Concubine Duan been doing these two days?"

"This..." Chen Hai was a little embarrassed, "I haven't been to the harem much in the past two days. I only know that Concubine Duan goes to greet the Queen Mother and the Queen every morning and evening. I don't know much about the rest."

The emperor sat silently on the dragon chair, listening to the howls of ghosts and wolves coming from outside, and frowned deeply: "Concubine Duan has not seen Qinghuang for a long time."

Well?

Chen Hai thought about the emperor's meaning: "Then the servant will ask someone to invite the eldest princess into the palace?"

"Yes." The emperor nodded slowly, with a hint of coldness in his voice, "Qinghuang just suffered some grievances, let Concubine Duan comfort her."

Chen Hai's cheek twitched.

Concubine Duan comforts the eldest princess?

If Concubine Duan learned that the fifth prince was beaten because of the eldest princess, she would be so angry, why would she comfort her?

Even though Chen Hai had been serving the emperor for more than twenty years, he really couldn't guess what the emperor meant at this time. However, no matter what the emperor meant, since the order was issued, he had to obey it.

So Chen Hai quickly sent people to the eldest princess's mansion with the emperor's instructions, asking the eldest princess to come into the palace to pay tribute to Concubine Duan, and the mother and daughter talked about their inner feelings.

"Going to pay your respects to Concubine Duan?" Chu Qinghuang sat in front of the window, raising her eyes to look at the servant who came with the order, her voice was indifferent and said, "Is this what the father wants?"

The chamberlain who delivered the order did not dare to think about why the eldest princess did not call her mother "Mother Concubine" but directly called "Duan Concubine". He only nodded respectfully and replied: "It is indeed the emperor's wish. I don't dare to lie."

Chu Qinghuang pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the fifth prince been punished since he returned to the palace?"

"Your Majesty decreed that the staff should be punished for fifty years." The chamberlain replied, "The slave was still beaten when he came."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows slightly.

The emperor is really capable of taking action. If he knew that Chu Tianzheng was not his biological son, would he directly order his execution?

Chu Qinghuang turned her head and looked out the window. Half a day passed quickly, and the sky outside had already darkened. It was obviously not appropriate to enter the palace at this time - after all, she had not obtained the key yet.

"It's already very late." She said calmly, "Go back and report to your father, and tell me that I will go to pay my respects to Concubine Duan early tomorrow morning."

The servant was slightly shuddered. Although he felt something was wrong, he did not dare to correct the eldest princess's etiquette. He respectfully agreed and then left.
