If she were a concubine from an ordinary family, then this matter would be fairly easy to handle.

Beat the prince, ground him for a while, and give the family some heavy compensation. If it's not possible, just kill him and silence him.

But it happened that the prince was not interested in the daughter of an ordinary family.

Although Tang Xiuyan does not hold an official position now, he was once the number one scholar in a new subject, and he was famous for a while. He was not an unknown person. And that concubine is not an ordinary peasant woman, but a concubine from the Zhongyong Hou family. How many people in the capital are watching her?

For a king to seize his wife... is something the world will not tolerate!

But before the emperor could think of a countermeasure, the little eunuch hurried in again, this time his face was more panicked than before.

"Your Majesty, the minister of Dali Temple is asking for an audience outside the door. There are also Mr. Li from the Ministry of Husbandry, Mr. Liu from the Ministry of War, and Mr. He from the Yushitai..."

The little eunuch reported a long list of names in succession. With each name, the prince's face turned pale. In the end, he could no longer kneel down and collapsed directly on the ground. His eyes were full of fear.

When the emperor was wondering why all these people came, he was startled when he saw the prince's appearance, and asked in a deep voice: "You...could it be related to you?"

The prince was speechless.

The emperor closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Xuan."

Soon, the ministers filed in, and the whole room knelt down as soon as they entered.

"Your Majesty, please seek justice for us!"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has taken away my wife and used the lives of my family and children to coerce my wife into living with him... Now, my wife is depressed because of this. She has tried to commit suicide several times, and she is extremely ill."

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince took advantage of the situation and sent someone to kidnap my concubine when I was not prepared. She has not been returned yet."

"Your Majesty, and my wife..."

"Your Majesty, and my poor little daughter..."

……

The emperor looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground in front of him, listening to what they said, his face turned blue and white, and his head was buzzing.

He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with trembling fingers.

Mo Xiao, who had been standing in the corner, took two steps forward, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in the emperor's hand. The emperor glanced sideways at him, picked up the glass and drank it in small sips.

After drinking a cup of tea, the voice of the minister below slowly stopped, and the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The emperor placed the tea cup on the table, and with a clang, everyone's eyes turned this way.

The emperor looked at the prince who was lying limply on the ground, and said word by word: "What do you have to say about these accusations?"

The prince's eyes trembled and he opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.

He could say that Lu Menghua poisoned him, but what about so many ministers? He couldn't get over it no matter what.

The prince never thought that these people would actually dare to expose him in front of His Majesty.

He has been doing these things for more than a day or two. He has always handled them well and hid them well. He has never made any mistakes. Why is it now that everyone suddenly appears... The prince's eyes Turning around, he suddenly looked up at Mo Xiao standing in the corner.

The prince stared at Mo Xiao and shouted sternly: "Old Jiu, it was you who harmed me!"

Mo Xiao paused, raised his eyes to look at the prince, and said in a deep voice: "What does the emperor mean by this, I don't understand!"

Prince: "Stop pretending here, everything today is your fault!"
