When Yan Ming stepped into the palace, he saw that his mother was also present. His expression suddenly tensed, and he could not help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

But he said nothing. He turned around and saw Emperor Wu Lie sitting in front of the couch and Yan Donghuang standing beside him. His eyes dimmed slightly. He took a few steps forward, lifted his robe and knelt respectfully: "Your son pays respect to your father."

Emperor Wu Lie did not speak.

The atmosphere in the palace was slightly depressing.

Yan Ming lowered his eyes and stared at the palace brick floor, maintaining a respectful and humble attitude.

"Your Highness Prince Jing." Rong Chun reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness the Crown Princess is also here."

Yan Ming's hands hanging by his side tightened, and he realized that he needed to salute Yan Donghuang.

It was ridiculous.

In order to support Yan Donghuang, the father really suppressed his son again and again. Yesterday, he punished his eldest brother in court, and today he let him kneel here... So many sons, but they are not as good as Yan Donghuang?

The principles of heaven and earth are all turned upside down.

What kind of magic potion did the emperor take?

Yan Ming gently closed his eyes to hide the dark color in his eyes, then opened his eyes and bowed: "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Yan Donghuang said indifferently: "My Royal Highness, there is no need to be polite."

"Yan Ming." Emperor Wu Lie looked up at him, "Did you go to the Princess's Mansion this afternoon?"

Yan Ming was startled when he heard the words, and slowly raised his head to look at Yan Donghuang, with a little irony and a little chill in his expression: "Donghuang... No, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

The three words "Crown Princess" were deliberately emphasized The tone of voice was obviously full of sarcasm and unwillingness: "I am going to plead guilty, I have not offended you, you have beaten me, and you still complain to my father, is it necessary?"

Yan Donghuang said indifferently: "My royal brother went to plead guilty, I just fulfilled your sincerity, what is your dissatisfaction with me?"

"I dare not-"

"Yan Ming." De Fei said anxiously, "The eldest princess used private punishment on you, why don't you dare to tell your father the truth?"

Private punishment?

Yan Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at his mother, almost blurting out: How could my mother know about this?

But before he could say anything, Yan Ming suddenly thought of something in his mind, and his face turned pale little by little.

So this matter was not Yan Donghuang who complained first, but his mother wanted to sue Yan Donghuang for the crime of private punishment against the prince?

Yan Ming's heart sank, and he realized that something was wrong with this matter.

He seemed to have been calculated.

"Yan Ming." Emperor Wu Lie spoke in a deep voice, his voice was powerful without anger, "Did Dong Huang punish you, or did you go and ask for forgiveness yourself?"

Yan Ming looked up and met the cold and sharp eyes of Emperor Wu Lie, and felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his back.

How should he answer?

If Yan Dong Huang did punish you, then he was deceiving the emperor.

The crime of deceiving the emperor was enough to make him pay for it.

But if he denied that Yan Dong Huang punished him, then the one who deliberately confused right and wrong and slandered the crown prince was his mother.

The consequences would also be unbearable.

"Yan Ming." Emperor Wu Lie's voice was majestic, making people feel extremely oppressive, "Why don't you speak?"

Yan Ming came back to his senses in shock, suppressed his emotions, lowered his eyes and said: "My son... Dong Huang was just named the crown prince, she is the king, and I am the minister. He taught me a lesson, and I should bear it. Please don't blame her, father."

What a good one, don't blame her.

Emperor Wu Lie sneered: "Let me ask you one more question. Did you take the initiative to go to the Princess's Mansion to plead guilty, or did Donghuang punish you without authorization?"

Yan Ming clenched his hands: "Yes...it was the Princess..."

"But the people I sent out to follow said that you went to the Princess's Mansion alone with a whip on your back." Emperor Wu Lie looked coldly, "Yan Ming, why didn't you bring guards with you to the Princess's Mansion?"

The prince went out without guards, only a whip, and the final result was a beating.

There are only two explanations for this matter. He went to plead guilty sincerely and didn't want to conflict with the people in the Princess's Mansion. He wanted Yan Donghuang to see his sincerity in pleading guilty, so he didn't bring guards.

The second is not to leave any witnesses, so even if he turned the tables and the people in the Princess's Mansion came out to testify, he could insist that they were defending their master.

And there was no one in Yan Ming's mansion who could testify, at least it could prove that what Yan Donghuang said was not necessarily true.

But my father actually sent people out to follow him?

Yan Ming's face was pale, and he suddenly felt sad, the sadness of being plotted against by his father and sister.

"Donghuang." Emperor Wu Lie was too lazy to ask more questions, and turned to look at Donghuang, "How do you think we should deal with it?"

"The Empress Defei was stimulated by the Chu family incident, and her emotions should not be stable." Yan Donghuang's tone was calm, and it sounded like there were not many emotional fluctuations. "Your son suggests that she be confined in Ganquan Palace first, and she is not allowed to go out without an imperial order."

Emperor Wu Lie hummed: "Where is your brother?"

"Your son is very disappointed in my brother." Yan Donghuang looked at Yan Ming, and his eyes were exactly the same as his. "Demote her to a prince."
