Chapter 183 Uncle's words (3)
"Then you should smile more on weekdays." Jiang Luo stepped forward and gently grabbed her hand.
Seeing this, the servants bowed their heads and retreated silently.
Three days later, the four assassins who assassinated Lord Jingting were sentenced to beheading, but Shi Feixian was still imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple.
The princess cried and begged for several days in front of the prince, and even her eyes were swollen from crying. She repeatedly emphasized that this matter must not have been done by her own sister, the Shi family is loyal to His Majesty, it is impossible to have anything to do with King Hui's old department, and it is even more impossible to arrange such a small gangster to assassinate Duke Jingting, it must have been framed by someone else.
The prince was softened by her crying, so he went to Dayue Palace to intercede with the Shi family in front of Emperor Yunqing.
"Prince," Emperor Yunqing looked at the prince with disappointment in his tone, "You are the prince of our great cause, the future emperor, not the son-in-law of the Shi family."
Even though the crown prince was a bit gentle, he knew that Emperor Yunqing's words were not good, so he quickly pleaded guilty: "Father, I have no other intentions. I just feel that this case is full of doubts and should be carefully examined. Father, please think twice."
"How can you be sure that this kind of omission was not intentional by the Shi family?" Emperor Yun Qing said blankly, "They deliberately asked the gangsters to do it. If the matter is revealed, it can make people think that it is someone who has intentions to frame the Shi family. How is it possible that the government can't even afford to hire a killer, so they want to find a few gangsters to do it?"
"But don't forget, even if these are just a few thugs who can't stand on the stage, if Mr. Jing Ting didn't happen to turn around, then they would have succeeded by now," Emperor Yunqing threw the vermilion pen in his hand and cursed angrily, " In order to save me, the eldest princess even lost her life, and now these people want to murder my aunt's only son, why did they ever take me seriously?!"
Seeing that Emperor Yunqing was so angry, the crown prince lifted his robe and knelt down: "I beg your father to calm down, I have no such intention."
"Calm your anger?" Emperor Yunqing looked at the crown prince's head, only to feel that the anger was getting heavier, "How do you let me calm my anger? That is your aunt's only son, you let them not care about it, and instead pleaded for the Shi family, When you say this, are you sorry for your aunt?"
"Father," the crown prince said in panic, knocking his head on the ground, "I am not dissatisfied with Duke Jingting at all. In my eyes, Duke Jingting is half of my relatives. How could he be so ruthless? Huang Mingcha."
"As the crown prince, you actually listened to the words of the woman in the back house. How can you trust me to hand over the country to you?" Emperor Yunqing waved his hand dejectedly, "Stand back and think about it, should you come here today? The Shi family begged for mercy."
After the prince pleaded guilty, he retreated in panic, never daring to mention the Shi family again.
Seeing that the prince flinched like this, Emperor Yunqing was even more disappointed. If the prince fights for the Shi family's reason, he will look up to the prince instead. But the prince retreated after only being reprimanded by him. How could he become the emperor of a country without courage?
But thinking of the reckless second son, Emperor Yunqing was even more upset, the crown prince was indecisive at most, and the second son was purely clueless, if this country was handed over to the second son, sooner or later the world would be in chaos.
In the early years, he suffered a lot because his father favored the concubines, so after he ascended the throne, he gave up the thoughts of the concubines. Who knew that these two concubines were so unworthy.
Emperor Yun Qing shook his body, his eyes were darkened, and he barely supported the imperial case, so that no one could see anything strange.
Recently, he had dizzy symptoms from time to time. Even if the imperial physician came to take his pulse, the imperial physician could not say anything, only that he was exhausted and needed to rest.
rest?
As an emperor, how can he rest in peace?
Thinking of those things in the early years, and thinking of his aunt who died for him, Emperor Yunqing sighed. Could it be that this is the retribution God gave him?
Although the news that the prince was reprimanded by the emperor did not spread, the atmosphere in the East Palace was not very good. The concubine is in a bad mood, and the prince stays in the study all day long, not going to the concubine's room or the concubine's room. How can they feel at ease as servants?
The princess did not expect that she just asked the prince to intercede. After the prince went to the Great Moon Palace, he ignored her. The indifferent husband and her mother's family who were in trouble, the troubles of the two parties made her feel very tormented, and she fell asleep with tears on her pillow almost every night.
If this matter is just pure jealousy, it will be fine, but it still involves the old department of King Hui. People outside the palace didn't know, but she knew very well in her heart who sent the assassin who stabbed the eldest princess to death. If their family cannot be cleared of their crimes, in His Majesty's eyes, it is tantamount to colluding with King Hui.
What good would it do for their family to get involved with a prince who wanted to rebel but failed?
"Did the prince still sleep in the study last night?" The princess looked at herself in the mirror, rubbing the corners of her eyes carefully, feeling that she seemed to be quite haggard.
