The Eighth Prince opened his mouth, wanting to say something.But seeing Liao Cheng's smiling face, he didn't say the words that came to his lips.

"Please, Eighth Prince, I will guard you here."

No matter how much the Eighth Prince was reluctant, he could only throw away his sleeves and leave, kneeling in front of Yangxian Dian's door.

He now has the support of the civil servants in the court, but not the support of the generals.

But if we just rely on those civil servants to raise the army, it is obviously impossible.

You must know that when his father launched the army, it took three years to prepare.

And those who followed his father were not the current civil servants, but the veterans in the court.

Thinking of this, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but close his eyes and try to calm down his emotions.

When Liao Cheng went back to resume his duties, he told the emperor about the expression of the Eighth Prince.

When the emperor heard that the Eighth Prince seemed to want to resist, he couldn't help but move his fingers.

Liao Cheng did not dare to say anything. He thought the emperor would directly order the Eighth Prince to be dealt with.

After all, he also heard something about the eighth princess yesterday.

If things are really as rumored, then it would not be a bad idea for the emperor to let the Eighth Prince kneel in front of the Yangxin Hall now.

But the Eighth Prince had something he shouldn't have and chose to resist.

It seems that he still underestimated his son.

Liao Cheng originally thought that the emperor would be as angry as before because of this matter.

Unexpectedly, the emperor remained silent for a long time. Liao Cheng looked at the emperor cautiously.

However, he found that the emperor's expression was calm, and Liao Cheng did not dare to make random guesses. He lowered his head and stepped aside.

The Eighth Prince knelt outside for a full hour before the emperor put down the imperial pen in his hand.

"Let him in."

When Liao Cheng heard this, he didn't dare to delay and hurried outside to bring the people in.

"Eighth Prince, Your Majesty invites you."

The Eighth Prince stood up on his own, but almost fell down when he stood up.

Liao Cheng didn't dare to step forward to help. Now who doesn't know that the eight princes and the prince also opposed each other in the court and became the princeling party and the eight princes party respectively.

Now that the emperor is still here, if he gets too close to the Eighth Prince at this time, the emperor may mistakenly think that he is siding with him.

What's more, looking at the emperor's current attitude towards the Eighth Prince, it seems that he is no longer as satisfied with this son as before.

The attitude of the Eighth Prince just now also made Liao Cheng know that if he really sided with the Eighth Prince, he would probably not end well.

"Father."

The emperor saluted after entering the door. The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at the Eighth Prince.

Realizing that there was some impatience in the Eighth Prince's expression, the emperor's expression darkened.

"What? I've been kneeling outside for so long and still haven't figured out why I came to you?"

Mentioning this matter, the Eighth Prince also had a little anger in his brows.

The emperor saw the Eighth Prince's expression in his eyes, and his heart sank involuntarily.

"It seems like you haven't figured it out yet."

The Eighth Prince was a little unhappy, "My son doesn't know why his father mobilized so many people to escort his son to the palace."

The emperor did not let the Eighth Prince stand up, nor did he answer his words, but looked at his angry expression with cold eyes.

After not waiting for the emperor's response for a long time, the Eighth Prince seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

"What? Are you blaming me?"

"My son doesn't dare."

The emperor sneered, "What else do you dare not do?"

The Eighth Prince seemed to be unable to hold back the anger in his heart, and spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"Father, I just don't understand. Why do you want to escort your son to the palace at this time? If you have anything to do, send someone to inform me. I will definitely not refuse."

"But now that Jiao'er has just given birth, aren't you going to make Jiao'er even more worried?"

When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly turned cold.

"What? Are you questioning me?"

The Eighth Prince was stunned for a moment, and when he met the emperor's cold gaze, he suddenly came to his senses.

He quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake, "I don't dare. I was just worried about Jiao'er, so I spoke a little recklessly. Please forgive me, Father."

"Excuse me? I dare not forgive you."

The Eighth Prince lost his anger just now and put his head on the ground without daring to raise it.

He now indeed has the support of civil servants in the DPRK and China, but the generals have no intention of supporting him.

If he really wants to rebel at this time, the failure will definitely be his fault.

If he fails to succeed in one fell swoop, the layout he has made over the years will be ruined.

"Father, I know my mistake. Today I am worried that Jiaoer has just given birth and is in a bad mood, so I want to spend more time with her. It is because I have lost my mind and I beg your father to forgive me."

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was still thinking about Rong Jiao even now, and thinking about the dilemma that the Eighth Princess was aborted one night but could not go out to see a doctor, she felt very angry.

"Damn things!"

The emperor threw all the memorials in his hand at the Eighth Prince's head. Finally, he was so angry that he also smashed the tea cup in his hand.

Seeing that the eighth prince's forehead was bleeding from his blow, the emperor stopped this time.

Liao Cheng heard the movement inside the house, but did not dare to go in.

The emperor had ordered him to stare outside. No matter how worried he was about this matter, he would not be able to come in.

"I don't know what I did to make my father so unhappy. If it's because of my reckless behavior just now, I admit my mistake."

The emperor tightened his fingers and looked at the eighth son kneeling below, feeling a little more angry in his heart.

"You don't know where you went wrong?"

"Yes, my son doesn't know."

"Have you found out what I and the Queen Mother asked you to go back to the mansion to investigate yesterday?"

The Eighth Prince was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a little guilty.

"I haven't had time to check yet."

The emperor snorted coldly, "I reminded you yesterday that if this matter is investigated clearly, the evidence will only be cleared away. Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"

When he thought about Rong Jiao falling into the water, he thought that his only child was gone, and the Eighth Prince felt even more heartbroken.

"Father, there are only two people in the backyard of my son, the princess and Jiao'er. It's impossible for Jiao'er to take risks with her own child, so it's not clear who did it?"

Seeing the eighth prince's determination, the emperor's anger emerged again.

"Are you an idiot?"

The Eighth Prince did not speak, but his face was full of anger at the emperor's insults.

"Although I don't know what Rong Jiao's intentions were, the child in your princess's belly was aborted by yourself."

"What? The child in the concubine's belly is your child, but the one in the princess's belly is not? Why didn't I see that you are an indistinguishable child before?"

The emperor's question made the eighth prince stunned for a moment. When he heard that the child in the eighth princess's belly was aborted by him, the eighth prince turned pale.
