after i found out my new wife was a man

As soon as the prince entered the hall, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.

While he was in doubt, a glass of wine flew straight towards him and hit his forehead, blood pooled into a small stream and flowed down the side of his face.

The prince was thrown into a daze for a moment, but he didn't even dare to wipe it off, he knelt down and asked, "Father, but what did my son do wrong?"

Emperor Jing Ren stared straight at him, his eyes were cold and stern, and he didn't let him get up, he threw the jade pendant letter heavily in front of him, and his voice seemed to come out through his teeth: "Look at the good deeds you have done!"

The prince looked at these things in front of him, his eyes dilated suddenly, his pupils trembled, and he barely suppressed the panic in his heart, and forced out a smile: "I don't know what this is."

"Do you dare to say that you don't know?" Emperor Jing Ren sternly said, "Do you not recognize your own personal jade pendant, or do you not recognize your own private seal?!"

The incident happened suddenly, and the prince was already flustered and at a loss, but he was obviously cautious and never left any letters at all. How could the personal jade pendant appear here?

"I really don't know, and I haven't sent any letters with Beidi. This jade pendant has been lost a few days ago. All the attendants around me can testify, Father! Someone must have framed this jade!"

Emperor Jingren sneered: "How did you know it was Beidi after a hasty glance?"

"My son happened to see—"

"That's enough! It seems that I don't care enough about you on weekdays, making you think of me as a fool who is easy to fool." Emperor Jing Ren listened impatiently to him, interrupted and reprimanded, "Then today, the fourth On the mountain where you were killed, how could there be guards from your mansion!"

Up to now, the crown prince has already lost his mind, and he only said vaguely: "My son, my son really doesn't know..."

He really didn't know either—whether it was the bodyguard who was discovered or the jade pendant letter that "just happened" to fall on the ground under the eyes of everyone, it was too coincidental. The former was designed by Beidi people, while the latter was written by He Yaoqing .

But it is true that the prince did this collusion with the enemy and mutilating his brothers, so it is not wronged him.

Seeing him like this, even if Emperor Jingren still had a trace of disbelief before, it has completely dissipated now, and his heart became more and more furious: "Collude with Beidi, and kill brothers and sisters! Why on earth did I choose a prince like you! If you don't have talent, it's all right. Now even..."

The prince was still kneeling on the ground, his forehead was still bleeding, and the blood flowed into his eyes. Everything in his eyes, including his father standing in front of him, seemed to be blood red.

He knew that he was powerless, but at this moment, a series of unwillingness and malice burst out in his heart, as if he wanted to burst out everything he had endured in the past ten years.

The crown prince raised his head, his eyes were cloudy, Emperor Jing Ren felt suffocated, and looked in horror at the crown prince who seemed strange to him in front of him.

"Yes, I have no talent or virtue, so you can find someone else to be the prince." The prince's voice was very soft, even with a smile, "You look for it, can you find another person now?"

Emperor Jing Ren was furious, and when he came back to his senses, he raised his hand and slapped the prince's left cheek.

This was really not light, the prince was slapped to the side, blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, his ears were ringing, but he felt that he had never been so happy in his life, so much so that he was about to laugh out loud.

"Anyway, since I was a child, I have always been 'stupid and reckless, and I can't bear the responsibility'. I can't compare to the eldest princess that you love and love, my father. Yes, isn't there one left? Simply abolish me! Let him Come to be the prince, as you have always wished, do you agree?"

The prince's face was covered with blood, his cheeks were red and swollen, he was laughing hoarsely, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked like he was insane - this was very similar to the appearance of Emperor Jing Ren when he was insane.

Emperor Jingren seemed to know him for the first time: "What crazy things are you talking about?"

"How can it be crazy?" The prince deliberately looked very surprised, "The eldest son of the empress, the name is justified, isn't this what you have always expected, father?"

Emperor Jing Ren stared at him blankly: "When did you know!?"

"I've known it for a long time. I've known it for more than ten years." The prince smiled, but it seemed as if he was about to burst into tears. "Otherwise, how could he take the initiative to take the throne?"

Emperor Jing Ren was silent, and finally collapsed on the stool as exhausted, and only sighed: "You are confused."

He thought that keeping He Yaoqing alive was already a great kindness, so how could he make He Yaoqing the crown prince?

But the third prince only loves painting and calligraphy and is indecisive, while the fourth prince is cowardly and incompetent, so it is difficult for him to take on important tasks. He is the only one who chooses himself as the prince and the second prince. There will not be a situation where the mother's family dominates like the Xie family.

And on weekdays, he doesn't pretend to talk to him, and praises others, just to beat him to be vigilant at all times and demand strictness.

They are confronting each other like this, not like father and son, but like enemies.

Suddenly, Eunuch Yuan rushed into the hall, his expression panicked, and his voice hurried: "Your Majesty, something is wrong with your Majesty!"

Emperor Jingren came back to his senses and reprimanded him: "Why are you in such a hurry, what happened?"

"The rumors outside have already spread!" Eunuch Yuan Liushen Wuzhu knelt on the ground, even stammering, "Say, His Royal Highness is colluding with Beidi, mutilating the prince, and leaking military information..."

Emperor Jing Ren was furious: "Presumptuous! It's only been so long and it's been rumored like this. There must be someone pushing behind the scenes, so why don't we investigate it as soon as possible!"

"Follow the order!" Eunuch Yuan kowtowed again, and then left quickly.

Emperor Jing Ren only felt pain in his temples. Looking sideways, he saw the prince standing there, as if he had been stunned by the news just now. When he looked over, he was a little more confused.

Emperor Jing Ren's voice was cold: "Remember, the one who colluded with the enemy and framed you is Zhang Hongcai, the Chancellor of Dali Temple. He has nothing to do with you, the crown prince. Do you understand?"

The prince just nodded in a daze, as if he hadn't recovered yet.

"Foot restraint in the mansion," Emperor Jing Ren waved him down, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to take a step out of the East Palace."

The prince saluted and left, but the wind was blowing outside the palace, he just felt that his whole body was floating, and his mind was so chaotic that he couldn't think.With his resourcefulness, he really couldn't figure out how things could evolve to this point.

He only felt that his bones were broken, but for others, it was extremely enjoyable.

The news that the prince was summoned into the palace had already reached He Yaoqing.

Xie Linghe took the letter from him: "Have you had a good time?"

"Why aren't you happy?" He Yaoqing chuckled, "Based on what I know about them, if you want to make Emperor Jingren abolish the crown prince with these things, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Xie Ling and Hang Mou put the letter paper on the candle, watching it burn slowly: "Isn't there a second hand, even if he doesn't want to scrap it again, he has to scrap it this time."

It was rare for him to say something cruel. Xie Lingyu was always gentle and indifferent, but this kind of time was very unusual. He Yaoqing suddenly felt surprised, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Ling raised his eyebrows, looked at the forged letter on the table in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "You really have a lot of talented people under your command, and you can forge the crown prince's notes so similar."

"Don't you have to be well-prepared?" He Yaoqing picked up the letter and handed it to Xuan Yi who was still at the side, "Be more concealed and put these things in the prince's study."

Xuan Yi clasped his fists together, then took the order and left.

Seeing Xuan Yi's leaving back, Xie Lingyu asked again: "Have all the people in Shanquan Temple been arranged?"

He Yaoqing replied: "It's all arranged, just wait for the rumors to boil over."

Xie Linghe smiled, but there was a worry that couldn't be concealed in that smile—of course, it wasn't worrying about whether things could be done, but for Lord Xie who was far away in the frontier.

He Yaoqing stretched out his hand to caress the faint bruises under his eyes, with pity in his eyes.

Xie Linghe closed his eyes, and lightly rubbed his palm with his cheek: "After this is done, we won't be able to sit together all day like this."

"There will always be such a day," He Yaoqing's voice was firm, he paused, and then repeated, "There will always be such a day."
