Although the emperor has returned to Beijing, the atmosphere in the capital is still very sluggish.The prince was imprisoned, Prince Xian was demoted, and Prince Rui was reprimanded. It seemed that overnight, the court became Prince Yong's world.
Prince Rui's family has returned to the palace since the emperor returned to Beijing.After returning from the palace, Prince Rui contracted the cold and was bedridden; Princess Changxing was frightened and contracted the cold and was also bedridden;The three masters of Prince Rui's Mansion have all collapsed, so naturally the ups and downs outside have nothing to do with Prince Rui's Mansion.
Originally, the news that Prince Rui was reprimanded and fined to kneel in the ice and snow had been widely known, and everyone thought that Prince Rui would lose his favor.But then the emperor sent several imperial physicians to stay in Prince Rui's mansion, so when everyone was still watching, they gave up the idea of making trouble.
No matter whether Prince Rui's Mansion has angered the emperor or not, it is still in the favor of the emperor after all.
However, the small grace of Prince Rui's Mansion is not very noticeable when compared with the successive rewards from Prince Yong's Mansion.On the one hand, the crown prince is destined to be abolished, and on the other hand, Prince Yong's mansion is constantly rewarding people. It can be said that people's hearts are fluctuating in the capital.
The prince was finally abolished, and he was accused of ten crimes, ranging from arrogance and lust to incompetence and stupidity, but there was no one of regicide and rebellion.Prince Yong's lineage seemed very dissatisfied, and issued imperial edicts one after another, but after being reprimanded by the emperor, they had no other options.
Anyway, the crown prince has been abolished, and Prince Yong has been magnanimous for a while, so he no longer cares about it.
Although the prince's charges have been determined, the punishment has not yet been clarified.Generally speaking, there are two factions who want to let go of the prince's life.However, the turmoil in the court seems to have nothing to do with the sick Prince Rui's family.Prince Rui's mansion is also in a state of chaos, just like in the court—Prince Rui's concubine has a dystocia.
Anxiety and fright during labor can do a lot of harm to pregnant women.Although Chen Ning'an was in good health before, ever since the news of the assassination came from the emperor, she has been panicked.Then news of safety came from Shuijing, and not long after he breathed a sigh of relief, he was besieged by men in black again.Although there was no bloody sight, as long as he thought that someone was going to kill him outside, he would definitely feel panic and uneasiness.After finally seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Shui Jing was punished to kneel in the ice and snow, and fell ill due to the wind and cold.Chen Ning'an couldn't bear it anymore. She had been getting red for the past few days, and she finally gave birth today.
Because it has been nine months, the child is still very healthy, but Chen Ning'an's condition is not very good.The midwife cheered Chen Ning'an inside, and the ginseng slices were already in her mouth. Shui Jing and Shui Jue waited anxiously outside and circled around, and even Lin Daiyu started to wander around with them.
Apart from being worried about the safety of Chen Ning'an and her little nephew, Shui Jue was also scared by the woman giving birth most importantly.The bodies of men and women in her previous life seem to be different. Not to mention that women are very strong, giving birth is also very simple, and they are more violent and irritable during pregnancy, which is similar to those pregnant lionesses and tigers in animals.And giving birth is easier, as long as the time is up, it will be born in a few minutes without any wounds.
Not to mention the weak body of women in this world, giving birth to a child is like going through the gate of hell, it is really terrible.
There is also the thought of passing on the family line, but it is too scary to have children.Shui Jue didn't know if her physique was from her previous life, or if she was the same as the women in this world.So she is thinking about whether to have children.In the end, however, the idea of an offspring prevailed.Shui Jue thought, since he is not afraid of killing enemies, why should he be afraid of having children.Thinking of this, Shui Jue calmed down.
..................................
Chen Ning'an started having seizures early in the morning, and when the sky was gray, the people waiting outside anxiously finally heard the cry of the child.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.After the midwife tidied up the delivery room, the imperial doctor could finally rush in to check on Chen Ning'an's situation.
"Congratulations, my lord, you are a fat boy." The mother smiled and hugged the baby to announce the good news to Shui Jing.
Shui Jing went up to take a look. Although he was chubby, his face was flushed, his skin was wrinkled, and his eyes were not opened, so he really couldn't see his father's good looks.But even though he said disgusting words in his heart, Shui Jing was still very happy, and even reached out to hug his first child.
Babies cannot be blown when they are born.Shui Jing and Shui Jue took turns hugging, and the midwife took the baby back to the room that had already been arranged.The imperial doctor should also show the child and tell the mother who takes care of the child what needs to be paid attention to.
"How about the princess?" Shui Jing was also very concerned about the hero who gave birth to his son.
The imperial doctor replied: "The princess is bleeding too much. Although she is fine now, her body is weak and she may not be able to conceive within two or three years."
Shui Jing nodded.As long as the princess is fine.Now that she already has a son-in-law, it's okay if she can't have children within two or three years.
"I'm going to see my sister-in-law." Shui Jue said.
Shui Jing touched Shui Jue's head: "Let's go together." Seeing the princess giving birth, my sister must have been frightened, right?What to do, he is already worried about his sister giving birth!
Chen Ning'an had already taken the medicine and fell into a deep sleep.After Shui Jing and Shui Jue glanced at it, they quietly left the delivery room still smelling of blood.
"Hang up your bow and arrow, and each person will reward you with two taels of silver as happy money." Seeing that Shui Jing looked a little tired, Shui Jue ordered on his behalf, "Brother, go to sleep for a while, your health is not good yet. I'll go to the palace Announce good news to Father, Empress Dowager."
"Okay." Shui Jing really couldn't hold on anymore.Although he recovered from the wind and cold, the illness disappeared like a thread, and his body was still weak.After a day of nervousness, he was indeed tired, "Ask for more rewards for your nephew."
Shui Jue smiled: "Of course."
..................................
When Chen Ning'an had a stomach attack, the emperor had already got the news.When Shui Jing and Shui Jue were circling in circles, he was also disturbed and sent people to inquire several times.The queen mother was also waiting for the news. When she heard that Chen Ning'an might have a difficult delivery, the queen mother twirled the beads and kept on reciting the Buddha's name.When Chen Ning'an gave birth to a fat boy, the news quickly spread to the palace.The emperor knew that Shui Jue would definitely come to announce the good news, so he had been waiting in the Empress Dowager's palace for a long time.
"Father, imperial grandmother." Shui Jue's uplifted tone was full of joy, and she bowed to the emperor and the queen mother, "Sister-in-law added a fat boy to my brother, although I can't see it clearly with my eyes closed, but The nose and mouth are just like my brother's."
Shui Jue paused for a moment, and complained: "But my brother refused to admit it, saying that my nephew is wrinkled, so he is not as handsome as him."
"Hahahaha, children are born wrinkled," the emperor laughed amusedly, and the recent depression has dissipated a lot.He called Shui Jue to sit over, and said, "Your brother was not wrinkled when he was born, just like a little monkey. I didn't despise him, how could he despise my grandson."
The queen mother also smiled and said: "The child and I look like good news, isn't the fourth child happy?"
Shui Jue said with a smile: "I think so too, my brother is smiling so much that he can't see his eyes, and he still has words of disgust in his mouth."
"The Ai family heard that Princess Rui had a difficult delivery, and they are still worried. As long as there is nothing wrong." The Queen Mother chanted again, "Is the child healthy? Is Princess Rui okay?"
"Nephew is very healthy, and his crying is loud." Shui Jue replied, "Sister-in-law is also fine. The imperial doctor said that after two or three years of raising her, she will recover."
"That's good, that's good." The emperor thought about it, two or three years would be just right, when the time comes, he will add a son to the fourth son, and the age gap will be just right, "Princess Rui has made a contribution, reward her!"
Shui Jue smiled and listened to the emperor waving a lot of jewelry, cloth and medicinal materials, and then remembered that Shui Jing liked antiques, and gave a lot of things that Shui Jing liked.The queen mother also rewarded many good things immediately afterward, and also named Shui Jue as a credit, and rewarded Shui Jue with a lot of things.The emperor laughed after hearing this, how could he forget his daughter, so naturally he added another reward.
After receiving the reward, Shui Jue said with a smile: "My little companion has been serving tea and water all the time, and guarding by the door, is it creditable? Father and grandmother, why don't you give Daiyu something to play with?"
"Of course there is." The queen mother smiled first, "Changxing always remembers to read and save the dowry for your little companion."
Shui Jue blushed and acted coquettishly for a while, causing the two giants in the palace to tease her for a while, and then rewarded her with many things.
"Jue'er, is the fourth child feeling better?" The emperor hesitated for a long time before asking.He still regretted punishing Shuijing to kneel outside before.He was just making a show for outsiders to see, but he didn't know that the snow would stop falling, and even if he wanted to move Shui Jing into the house, he didn't need to find a reason.The emperor couldn't help complaining, seeing that Shui Jing was in good health, he even ordered someone to deliver a cloak, bamboo hat and stove, but he still fell ill.It must be because of Shui Jing's lack of practice in martial arts.
"My brother is already cured. The imperial doctor said that my brother fell ill after being too tired from the journey." Shui Jue replied with a smile, "It's just that although the illness is cured, the body is still lazy. Yu The doctor also asked my brother to rest for a few more days."
"The Ai family said why the fourth child hasn't come for so many days. It turns out that he is lazy." The queen mother smiled, "I guess it's because I can't eat well or sleep well outside, so I don't want to move when I come back?"
Shui Jue nodded: "That's right. My brother eats a lot more than before leaving Beijing."
The emperor was amused when he heard it: "I don't dislike hard work, but he is a pampered one."
"Brother just likes to nest in the study." Shui Jue agreed, "Brother should be allowed to go out more often."
"It's not easy? Didn't I give him a special place to raise horses and hunt? Tell him to run more." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he saw that Shui Jue's face suddenly became ugly, and he immediately reacted. Sighing, "Are you scared?"
"Well... my daughter is fine, I'm just worried that my sister-in-law will be bumped into." Shui Jue forced a smile.
The queen mother held Shui Jue in her arms, and patted Shui Jue on the back: "Changxing is a good-looking person, and she is indeed a good daughter of our Shui family."
"Tell Shui Jing not to be lazy." The emperor also patted Shui Jue on the back, "I have to help my father deal with the rest of this."
"My daughter is going to talk to my brother, but there is no guarantee that he will work hard." Shui Jue replied, which made the emperor angry and funny.
..................................
Now that the emperor had spoken, Shui Jing couldn't continue to rest.But fortunately, what the emperor asked him to do was not labor-intensive political affairs, but only asked him to deal with the rumors in Beijing, and then visit the imprisoned prince.
The emperor originally intended to downplay this incident, but in desperation, someone fanned the flames and spread the rumors about it.Even if the prince really intends to kill the king and usurp the throne, but the fact that the father and son killed each other that day is known to everyone, it will discredit the royal family.It's just that some people saw that the prince finally fell, and they couldn't help but wish to vent all the anger they had received before, and they lost their minds in joy.
Naturally, the emperor would not let those who have lost their minds to do this matter, so naturally this matter must be handed over to Shui Jing.
Shui Jing arrested a group of people, beat a group of people, and then sent people to spread rumors about this incident in many versions.There are many rumors in various versions in the market, and naturally no one will distinguish the true from the false.Afterwards, Shui Jing asked someone to tell Prince Yong that the emperor hated the news about the prince in the capital.Prince Yong became anxious all of a sudden.He just wanted to vent his anger, not to please the emperor.Although he is the most powerful now, there are still three younger brothers under him after all, and the emperor doesn't know how long he will live, he still can't jump too much.
So Prince Yong took people everywhere to arrest people. His actions covered up what Shui Jing did before, making people think that he was also responsible for what happened before.It's just that Prince Yong didn't just arrest people, he also took this opportunity to punish people he didn't like, which made people in the capital panic, and the prosperous scene that finally recovered a little bit, became depressed again.
The emperor watched coldly, but did not move, allowing Prince Yong's people to run wild in the streets.
After Shui Jing asked the emperor's opinion and learned that there was no need to stop Prince Yong, he let it go.
..................................
The prince was imprisoned in a remote palace.The original luxurious clothes had become shabby clothes, and there was no warm basin in the palace, and Shui Jing could not help shivering due to the cold wind.
As soon as Shui Jing entered the palace, the little eunuchs immediately went to fetch a warm basin, lit high-quality silver charcoal, and made hot tea to flatter them.
"If it hadn't been for the fourth brother, I guess Gu would have died of freezing and thirst before waiting for the punishment." The prince said expressionlessly.He seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn't appear to be insane or in pain.
"Father has been very angry recently. He doesn't want to see you and dare not see you, but let those villains take advantage of the loophole." Shui Jing flirted with the eunuch who accompanied him, and the eunuch immediately went to collect the things in the palace. .Even if the prince fell, the emperor would still not be happy to see others bully the prince.
After all, this is his most beloved child brought up by himself.
The prince looked at the white mist rising from the teacup, and after a while, he said, "The killers in the suburbs are not lonely people."
"I know, and my sister knows too." Shui Jing sighed softly.
"Gu never thought of killing the king."
"I know."
The prince sneered and said, "In the end, you are the only one who believes in Gu."
"I think... Father also believes it, but there is no other way." Shui Jing picked up the tea, "Second brother, there are many loopholes in this matter."
"But if you are alone, you will be chaotic." The prince also picked up the tea and drank it with his head up. "I remember when I was a child, you once persuaded Gu not to be angry with the boss."
"Second brother, you said at the time that you were brought up by your father, and you always thought that you were the only child of your father."
"Yes. Father used to only value Gu, and only praised Gu. But gradually, the boss received more and more praise, and his power became stronger and stronger. Seeing that Gu's only relative is getting farther and farther away." The prince sneered, "It's just that I'm lonely and stupid, but now I understand it, it's useless. It's a demon, it's a demon."
"The authorities are obsessed," Shui Jing sighed.In fact, the crown prince has always been the best among them, and the stupid things he has done these years are nothing more than a fan of the authorities.
Are Prince Yong and Prince Xian fans of the authorities?Only he, the prince who had been neglected for a long time, and the third son, the prince who had been neglected all the time, saw it clearly.
Now that the prince has jumped out of the game, he finally sees it clearly, and has regained the appearance of the handsome and handsome prince back then, but it is useless.
I remember that when I was young, the position of the prince was still very strong, and the queen mother never let me fight, only let myself befriend the prince.And the prince has always been the object of his admiration.Whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, the prince has always been the best among brothers.
He also knew how much the prince had paid behind his back to become a leader.
So many years have passed, so many things have passed, the former friendship has gradually faded away, and when everything is about to end, when I think back, that period of admiration and pure competition is actually the most nostalgic and most cherished. Simple and happy time.
"Treat Shui Jue well, you may have a relative who will always be with you, which is the rarest thing in Tianjia." When the prince talked about Shui Jue, he brought a slight smile, "For Gu said to Shui Jue An apology, Gu should send someone to protect her."
Shui Jing suddenly felt his nose ache: "Why are you saying these words, if you want to see Jue'er, just let her come to see you."
"No need, I don't know what to say when we meet." The prince made a gesture of serving tea to see off the guests, "I'm embarrassing my father, this son is too stupid, and I have failed my father's earnest teachings."
"I will find a way to let you out." Shui Jing frowned, "There will always be a way. This matter is not your fault, let alone your fault."
"Okay, let's go." The prince put down the teacup.
..................................
"Shui Jing really said that?" The emperor put down his brush and sighed, "All those years when I treated Shui Jing and Shui Jue coldly, the crown prince has always helped Shui Jing, and I have always known this."
"I always knew."
It was originally a good story about a virtuous monarch and a virtuous minister, how did it become like this?Whose fault is this?Whose fault is this!
The emperor covered his eyes with one hand, and the tears that had not shed all this time finally flowed down his fingers.In his mind, the kid in the apricot color was stumbling towards him with a smile on his face.
This is the child he brought up with his own hands...
..................................
"The prince... got the news that someone is trying to kidnap the seriously injured father to force him to abdicate?" Shui Jue couldn't help but sigh, "Whether he is worried about the safety of the father or that the kidnapping of the father will threaten his position, Which one is more important, but the crown prince will never have the idea of killing the king."
"After all, among us, he is the only one who feels more like a father to his father." Shui Jing clenched his hands, "The prince...has the will to die."
"The deposed prince would be better off dead." Shui Jue sneered, "Even if the future emperor can treat him leniently, in his heart, life would be better than death."
"Oh." Shui Jing sighed.
The two siblings were relatively silent.The two of them didn't have much ill feeling towards the prince.The prince's goal has always been Prince Yong, and he has no direct hostility with the two.And Shui Jing had a good relationship with the prince when he was young, and the relationship between the prince and Empress Shengde was also relatively harmonious.So when Shui Jing was in the most difficult time, the prince had quietly extended a helping hand to Shui Jing many times.The property of Shui Jing's mother's family was also handed over to Shui Jing by the prince.
After Shui Jing was reused again, the relationship between the prince and Shui Jing became cold.But when Shui Jue celebrates his birthday, the prince will prepare expensive gifts for him.
Shui Jue will receive a lot of presents on her birthday, but whoever gave them the most can be seen from the gift list.
For the throne, Shui Jing and Shui Jue did not hesitate to face the prince.It's just that they never thought that the prince would leave the stage in such a humiliating and humiliating way.
In this matter, the prince can be exonerated as long as he looks for evidence carefully.But it was obviously impossible for the emperor to get rid of this matter.It is impossible for the prince's reputation to improve. In order to minimize the impact of this incident, sacrificing the prince is the only way.If we really go into it, those ministers in the court will probably be upset - the crown prince has been deceived to such an extent, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by one or two slanderous words.
And if it came out that the emperor pretended to be stabbed and injured, his reputation in the history books would not be good.
Shui Jing and Shui Jue are very clear and understand, so they are even more sad.They felt sad about what happened to the prince.Originally, during these days of being close to the emperor, some intimacy that had sprouted was also blown away by the chill.
..................................
Shui Jing was not wrong.
A few days later, the prince wrote a ten-thousand-character blood letter, crying that he had no intention of killing the king, and then committed suicide.After seeing the blood book, the emperor vomited blood and fainted. After waking up, he ordered all investigations into the matter to be terminated, and the prince's crimes were not mentioned.
All the courtiers lamented the emperor's fatherly heart, and lamented his unfilial piety to the prince.
"It is estimated that only our brother and sister really understand." Shui Jing was wearing plain clothes and spilled the wine on the ground.
Shui Jue was also wearing a plain dress, and poured the wine in the glass on the ground: "There are still people who understand, so what if they just understand?"
Prince Rui's family has returned to the palace since the emperor returned to Beijing.After returning from the palace, Prince Rui contracted the cold and was bedridden; Princess Changxing was frightened and contracted the cold and was also bedridden;The three masters of Prince Rui's Mansion have all collapsed, so naturally the ups and downs outside have nothing to do with Prince Rui's Mansion.
Originally, the news that Prince Rui was reprimanded and fined to kneel in the ice and snow had been widely known, and everyone thought that Prince Rui would lose his favor.But then the emperor sent several imperial physicians to stay in Prince Rui's mansion, so when everyone was still watching, they gave up the idea of making trouble.

"Tell Shui Jing not to be lazy." The emperor also patted Shui Jue on the back, "I have to help my father deal with the rest of this."
"My daughter is going to talk to my brother, but there is no guarantee that he will work hard." Shui Jue replied, which made the emperor angry and funny.
..................................
Now that the emperor had spoken, Shui Jing couldn't continue to rest.But fortunately, what the emperor asked him to do was not labor-intensive political affairs, but only asked him to deal with the rumors in Beijing, and then visit the imprisoned prince.
The emperor originally intended to downplay this incident, but in desperation, someone fanned the flames and spread the rumors about it.Even if the prince really intends to kill the king and usurp the throne, but the fact that the father and son killed each other that day is known to everyone, it will discredit the royal family.It's just that some people saw that the prince finally fell, and they couldn't help but wish to vent all the anger they had received before, and they lost their minds in joy.
Naturally, the emperor would not let those who have lost their minds to do this matter, so naturally this matter must be handed over to Shui Jing.
Shui Jing arrested a group of people, beat a group of people, and then sent people to spread rumors about this incident in many versions.There are many rumors in various versions in the market, and naturally no one will distinguish the true from the false.Afterwards, Shui Jing asked someone to tell Prince Yong that the emperor hated the news about the prince in the capital.Prince Yong became anxious all of a sudden.He just wanted to vent his anger, not to please the emperor.Although he is the most powerful now, there are still three younger brothers under him after all, and the emperor doesn't know how long he will live, he still can't jump too much.
So Prince Yong took people everywhere to arrest people. His actions covered up what Shui Jing did before, making people think that he was also responsible for what happened before.It's just that Prince Yong didn't just arrest people, he also took this opportunity to punish people he didn't like, which made people in the capital panic, and the prosperous scene that finally recovered a little bit, became depressed again.
The emperor watched coldly, but did not move, allowing Prince Yong's people to run wild in the streets.
After Shui Jing asked the emperor's opinion and learned that there was no need to stop Prince Yong, he let it go.
..................................
The prince was imprisoned in a remote palace.The original luxurious clothes had become shabby clothes, and there was no warm basin in the palace, and Shui Jing could not help shivering due to the cold wind.
As soon as Shui Jing entered the palace, the little eunuchs immediately went to fetch a warm basin, lit high-quality silver charcoal, and made hot tea to flatter them.
"If it hadn't been for the fourth brother, I guess Gu would have died of freezing and thirst before waiting for the punishment." The prince said expressionlessly.He seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn't appear to be insane or in pain.
"Father has been very angry recently. He doesn't want to see you and dare not see you, but let those villains take advantage of the loophole." Shui Jing flirted with the eunuch who accompanied him, and the eunuch immediately went to collect the things in the palace. .Even if the prince fell, the emperor would still not be happy to see others bully the prince.
After all, this is his most beloved child brought up by himself.
The prince looked at the white mist rising from the teacup, and after a while, he said, "The killers in the suburbs are not lonely people."
"I know, and my sister knows too." Shui Jing sighed softly.
"Gu never thought of killing the king."
"I know."
The prince sneered and said, "In the end, you are the only one who believes in Gu."
"I think... Father also believes it, but there is no other way." Shui Jing picked up the tea, "Second brother, there are many loopholes in this matter."
"But if you are alone, you will be chaotic." The prince also picked up the tea and drank it with his head up. "I remember when I was a child, you once persuaded Gu not to be angry with the boss."
"Second brother, you said at the time that you were brought up by your father, and you always thought that you were the only child of your father."
"Yes. Father used to only value Gu, and only praised Gu. But gradually, the boss received more and more praise, and his power became stronger and stronger. Seeing that Gu's only relative is getting farther and farther away." The prince sneered, "It's just that I'm lonely and stupid, but now I understand it, it's useless. It's a demon, it's a demon."
"The authorities are obsessed," Shui Jing sighed.In fact, the crown prince has always been the best among them, and the stupid things he has done these years are nothing more than a fan of the authorities.
Are Prince Yong and Prince Xian fans of the authorities?Only he, the prince who had been neglected for a long time, and the third son, the prince who had been neglected all the time, saw it clearly.
Now that the prince has jumped out of the game, he finally sees it clearly, and has regained the appearance of the handsome and handsome prince back then, but it is useless.
I remember that when I was young, the position of the prince was still very strong, and the queen mother never let me fight, only let myself befriend the prince.And the prince has always been the object of his admiration.Whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, the prince has always been the best among brothers.
He also knew how much the prince had paid behind his back to become a leader.
So many years have passed, so many things have passed, the former friendship has gradually faded away, and when everything is about to end, when I think back, that period of admiration and pure competition is actually the most nostalgic and most cherished. Simple and happy time.
"Treat Shui Jue well, you may have a relative who will always be with you, which is the rarest thing in Tianjia." When the prince talked about Shui Jue, he brought a slight smile, "For Gu said to Shui Jue An apology, Gu should send someone to protect her."
Shui Jing suddenly felt his nose ache: "Why are you saying these words, if you want to see Jue'er, just let her come to see you."
"No need, I don't know what to say when we meet." The prince made a gesture of serving tea to see off the guests, "I'm embarrassing my father, this son is too stupid, and I have failed my father's earnest teachings."
"I will find a way to let you out." Shui Jing frowned, "There will always be a way. This matter is not your fault, let alone your fault."
"Okay, let's go." The prince put down the teacup.
..................................
"Shui Jing really said that?" The emperor put down his brush and sighed, "All those years when I treated Shui Jing and Shui Jue coldly, the crown prince has always helped Shui Jing, and I have always known this."
"I always knew."
It was originally a good story about a virtuous monarch and a virtuous minister, how did it become like this?Whose fault is this?Whose fault is this!
The emperor covered his eyes with one hand, and the tears that had not shed all this time finally flowed down his fingers.In his mind, the kid in the apricot color was stumbling towards him with a smile on his face.
This is the child he brought up with his own hands...
..................................
"The prince... got the news that someone is trying to kidnap the seriously injured father to force him to abdicate?" Shui Jue couldn't help but sigh, "Whether he is worried about the safety of the father or that the kidnapping of the father will threaten his position, Which one is more important, but the crown prince will never have the idea of killing the king."
"After all, among us, he is the only one who feels more like a father to his father." Shui Jing clenched his hands, "The prince...has the will to die."
"The deposed prince would be better off dead." Shui Jue sneered, "Even if the future emperor can treat him leniently, in his heart, life would be better than death."
"Oh." Shui Jing sighed.
The two siblings were relatively silent.The two of them didn't have much ill feeling towards the prince.The prince's goal has always been Prince Yong, and he has no direct hostility with the two.And Shui Jing had a good relationship with the prince when he was young, and the relationship between the prince and Empress Shengde was also relatively harmonious.So when Shui Jing was in the most difficult time, the prince had quietly extended a helping hand to Shui Jing many times.The property of Shui Jing's mother's family was also handed over to Shui Jing by the prince.
After Shui Jing was reused again, the relationship between the prince and Shui Jing became cold.But when Shui Jue celebrates his birthday, the prince will prepare expensive gifts for him.
Shui Jue will receive a lot of presents on her birthday, but whoever gave them the most can be seen from the gift list.
For the throne, Shui Jing and Shui Jue did not hesitate to face the prince.It's just that they never thought that the prince would leave the stage in such a humiliating and humiliating way.
In this matter, the prince can be exonerated as long as he looks for evidence carefully.But it was obviously impossible for the emperor to get rid of this matter.It is impossible for the prince's reputation to improve. In order to minimize the impact of this incident, sacrificing the prince is the only way.If we really go into it, those ministers in the court will probably be upset - the crown prince has been deceived to such an extent, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by one or two slanderous words.
And if it came out that the emperor pretended to be stabbed and injured, his reputation in the history books would not be good.
Shui Jing and Shui Jue are very clear and understand, so they are even more sad.They felt sad about what happened to the prince.Originally, during these days of being close to the emperor, some intimacy that had sprouted was also blown away by the chill.
..................................
Shui Jing was not wrong.
A few days later, the prince wrote a ten-thousand-character blood letter, crying that he had no intention of killing the king, and then committed suicide.After seeing the blood book, the emperor vomited blood and fainted. After waking up, he ordered all investigations into the matter to be terminated, and the prince's crimes were not mentioned.
All the courtiers lamented the emperor's fatherly heart, and lamented his unfilial piety to the prince.
"It is estimated that only our brother and sister really understand." Shui Jing was wearing plain clothes and spilled the wine on the ground.
Shui Jue was also wearing a plain dress, and poured the wine in the glass on the ground: "There are still people who understand, so what if they just understand?"
