The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The crown prince beat the prince of Qi, and the news spread to everyone in the capital. Emperor Chengde was furious, and after finding out the whole story, he called the two men to the imperial study and scolded them.

"You are getting older and older. You two have become successful now. You are almost thirty years old, and you are still fighting. You even went to a place like that. You have completely lost the reputation of the royal family."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The two princes are also young. Your Majesty will teach them slowly. Do not let your anger damage the dragon's body." Eunuch Chen walked forward with ginseng tea and soothed them with soft words.

"Go away, you are still young?" Emperor Chengde glared at Eunuch Chen, then turned his head to look at the two of them. "Second brother, you have just been released from house arrest, why are you sick again? You dare to spy on the crown prince, what do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. How could I dare to spy on the Crown Prince? I received a message from the Crown Prince's servant saying that the Crown Prince was drunk in Zuixian Tower. I was worried about my brother's health, so I rushed over. Your Majesty, please understand." The King of Qi knelt on the ground, looking pitiful.

The prince followed suit and knelt down, "Father, please understand that your son has been framed. As a prince, I only care about my country and my family. How could I do such a ridiculous thing?

Yesterday afternoon, my son was reading in the study when he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance and fainted. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by a group of beauties.

Your Majesty, your son has been wronged… Someone wants to harm me, Your Majesty, please save me…” The prince cried with snot and tears, looking so pitiful.

"Father, it was indeed the prince's servant who delivered the message..."

"Alright!" Emperor Chengde was upset by the quarrel between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi. "The Crown Prince said that he was knocked unconscious, and you, Second Brother, said that it was the Crown Prince's servant who gave you the news.

Well then, Prince, call all your servants into the palace and let the King of Qi identify and find that person. "

The King of Qi saw that Emperor Chengde's words clearly favored the Crown Prince. If he lost now, he would be punished with more than just house arrest. He was afraid that he could not afford the charge of defaming the Crown Prince.

The King of Qi thought about it and decided to fight to the death. He concluded that the servant who reported the news must not have been noticed by the prince.

"My son obeys your order." The prince glanced at the King of Qi with a little pride, and was about to go out to arrange for someone to go to the East Palace to call someone.

"Father, this is not appropriate. What if the prince deliberately covers up for him and doesn't let him enter the palace?" As it was a matter of life and death, the King of Qi had to be extremely cautious.

"Well, what do you think?" Emperor Chengde raised his eyelids slightly tiredly.

"I think that the emperor should send someone to the East Palace to ask for help."

After hearing what the King of Qi said, Emperor Chengde curled his lips and said, "Well, I'll let Xiao Shunzi go."

The prince secretly gritted his teeth, wishing he could swallow the King of Qi in one gulp. However, he was still very confident. After all, after the incident, he was the first to communicate with the East Palace. However, his father's unexpected move made him feel a little unsure. What if the King of Qi made random accusations?

In less than an hour, five or six servants stood on the throne. These five people usually followed the prince, and they had seen the world. Now that they came to the throne, they could not hide their excitement.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor." The loud greetings seemed to lift the roof off the house.

"Everyone raise your heads and let the King of Qi see."

The servants looked confused. They looked at each other. No one knew what was going on and no one dared to say anything.

The King of Qi looked carefully and seriously at each person's face.

He suddenly grabbed a person and dragged him to Emperor Chengde excitedly, "Father, it's him."

The man knelt down quickly and said, "King Qi, please don't accuse me. I didn't do anything." The servant, who didn't understand what was going on, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Mugua, you don't know yet, the King of Qi said that it was you who told him yesterday that I was in Zuixianlou." Seeing the King of Qi pointing at Mugua, the prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mugua was so panicked that he could not speak and kowtowed like crazy, "My Lord, I would rather betray my own parents than you. Besides, I took a leave of absence yesterday and was not in the East Palace at all. The East Palace Chief Clerk can testify to this and I cannot lie.

"Father, he is lying. It was clearly him yesterday..." The King of Qi was not giving up and pointed at Mugua to argue.

Emperor Chengde rubbed his temple and glanced at Prince Qi nonchalantly, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Father, that's not the case. Everyone around my son can testify..."

The prince knelt down upon hearing this, "Father, please understand. The King of Qi is clearly trying to frame Mu Gua. Yesterday was the wedding of Mu Gua's brother, which was decided half a month ago. The record is in the chief clerk's office, so it cannot be false. Father, the King of Qi is clearly unable to find the so-called servant, so he deliberately framed Mu Gua.

Although Mugua is a slave, he is also a loyal servant of the Eastern Palace. He has worked hard for eight years without complaint. Today, he was framed for no reason. I, your son, feel sorry for him. "

Emperor Chengde waved his hand, signaling him to shut up, "I have figured it out. You have testified against yourselves. I can't get an answer even if I ask the heavens.

Prince, no matter what happens, you should not fight with the King of Qi in public. It will damage the reputation of the royal family and your own status.

As a prince, you should always be careful about your words and deeds, be self-disciplined and set an example. From now on, you will study behind closed doors and not go out without being summoned."

"My son obeys your order." After the prince kowtowed to express his gratitude, he turned around and glared at the King of Qi.

The old emperor changed the subject and looked at the King of Qi, "Second Brother, whether you intend to spy on the East Palace or not, you should not commit crimes and fight with the Crown Prince in public. Even if you know that the Crown Prince's words and deeds are inappropriate, you should save the Crown Prince's face.

Starting today, you will be fined for six months and confined to reflect on your mistakes for three months. This will be a minor punishment and a serious warning. If you commit the same offense again, there will be no leniency."

The King of Qi wanted to explain himself, but after changing his mind, he shut up and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

After sending away the two troublesome sons, the maid of Concubine Shu in the harem came over and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu had a fever when she woke up this morning, and it's getting worse now. Please go and see her."

After all, they had been together for many years, and when he heard that she was ill, he couldn't help but feel sad, so he went to Chunxi Palace immediately.

As soon as she entered the palace, she saw the screen that the King of Qi had given to Concubine Shu years ago. She was furious and thought about the drugs that she and her son had given her over the years. She called all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to take turns to diagnose Concubine Shu's pulse. The result was shocking. Concubine Shu was fine except for some indigestion.

The imperial physician who was in charge of Concubine Shu's condition was arrested on the spot. Emperor Chengde did not make the matter worse for the sake of Prince Mu's face, but only punished her to be confined to Chunxi Palace. Although it was confined, the proper courtesy was still there.

Prince Yi's Mansion...

After lunch, knowing that the little girl was pretending to be sick, Yuwen Ji had to cooperate and play with her. He deliberately found a copybook and taught Bai Yimeng how to write.

You know, whether in the past life or this life, although Bai Yimeng has good handwriting, he really doesn't like practicing calligraphy.

"Your Majesty, have you heard that the King of Qi and the Crown Prince have been placed under house arrest..." Seeing the looks of the two, he immediately shut up.

The rare warmth was disturbed, Yuwen Ji rolled his eyes, "Have you found out about the little princess of Prince Mu's Mansion?"

"Oh, this is not important... It is important that it is not right, but it is not important at the moment. You said, it is okay that the King of Qi is under house arrest, but why is the Crown Prince also under house arrest?" Su Beichen had finished all the snacks without realizing it.

That was what Yuwen Ji bought for Bai Yimeng. Seeing that her snack was gone, the little foodie really wanted to beat up the guy surnamed Su. If Yuwen Ji hadn't held her back, she would have rushed out and kicked Su Beichen away.

"Father is wise, how could he be fooled by the prince's words? Was he knocked unconscious? That's the Eastern Palace, how could it be possible? He should just say that the inner court is not strict in its management. Isn't this tantamount to slapping father in the face?" Yuwen Ji held Bai Yimeng's hand and continued to teach her to write. It seemed that he was not interested in Su Beichen's words.

"Since Your Majesty knows this, why doesn't he punish him severely? Are you trying to save face for the Crown Prince?" Su Beichen curled his lips and continued drinking his milk tea.

Bai Yimeng's back teeth creaked as she bit her food, which was her food supply and was about to run out. But Yuwen Ji was holding her down, so she couldn't move, and she felt very awkward.

"What else? The crown prince is the foundation of the country and the face of the country. As long as it is not a serious mistake, father will not easily punish him. With this sentence, the King of Qi lost from the beginning."

After saying that, his eyes fell on the words he had just written and he looked at them for a long time. "Xiaobai, you are great. You write really well."

Su Beichen held his forehead with his hand. There must be a limit to fooling fools. This is too fake.
