Chapter 117 As long as you want to listen, I will tell you everything
As the father of the third child, he has not paid much attention to him since he was born.
Because his biological mother was just a maid, and he also blamed himself for drinking a few more glasses of wine and favoring the maid, which led to the birth of the third child.
I didn't expect that his son has been very motivated and able to endure hardships since he was young. Compared with the other princes, he is considered excellent.
Just now, when everyone pointed the finger at him, he was able to remain calm, clearly stating the facts and presenting evidence, neither humble nor arrogant.
He felt that he should pay more attention to his son in the future, maybe he could become his right-hand man.
"The truth of this matter has been revealed. There's no need to investigate further. Che'er, were you frightened by the slander just now?"
Xiao Lingche had never expected that his father would suddenly care about him. In the past, when he got good grades, his father would just casually praise him, that was all, and he had never cared about his physical condition.
As smart as he is, his father must have seen his performance just now, which is why he has such a big change in his attitude.
But no matter what his father's purpose was, he was happy. His father finally cared about him. He quickly bowed and said to the emperor,
"Your Majesty, I am fine."
The emperor nodded to him with satisfaction
"Someone, send Che'er back to rest."
After all, he is still a child. He must be feeling uncomfortable when he is isolated and helpless. Let him go back and rest.
"Father, I will take my leave."
Xiao Lingche retreated
Seeing that Xiao Lingche was fine, the Second Prince became anxious. He hadn't said a word just now because he didn't want his father to pay too much attention to him. If he didn't speak now, it might be too late.
"Father, I followed my elder brother at his behest. He was the one who took the snake, and I was completely unaware of it. I tried to persuade him not to be so cruel, but he refused. He even threatened me that if I didn't cooperate, he would release the snake to bite me. I was very scared, so I followed him. He was the one who released the snake. Please investigate this matter, Father."
"You're talking nonsense! We clearly agreed to release the snake to bite Lao Wu, and now you're denying it."
The eldest prince was so anxious that he jumped up and down. This second son actually turned the tables on me. Wait, what did he just say? Did I threaten him? He really knows how to make up stories.
Concubine Lan took the opportunity to plead for mercy
"Your Majesty, Han'er is most afraid of snakes. How could she go to release snakes with the eldest prince? Moreover, Han'er is young. She must have been deceived and threatened by the eldest prince. Han'er had no choice but to follow his lead. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter."
Concubine Lan fell to the ground crying
Unexpectedly, the mother and son turned against each other at this time. Lipin was so angry that she was about to make an excuse when she heard the emperor say
"The eldest prince is plotting to murder the crown prince. The evidence is irrefutable. He should be executed according to the law!!"
Lipin was so frightened that she almost fainted when she heard this. She crawled to the emperor and begged for mercy, hoping that he would let the eldest prince go, but he remained indifferent.
But then he thought, the eldest prince is his son after all, if he kills him, he still can't bear it. He has become like this, it must be related to his mother. Maybe it was his mother who did it behind his back and let the child do that dangerous thing.
Concubine Lan must have been involved in this matter. She and the Queen were always at odds with each other. Seeing Ye Er becoming more and more outstanding, she became anxious and could not sit still.
But her mother's family is so powerful that they can't touch her for the time being. So, Lipin will have to take the blame for this matter.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, considering that Yuan'er is still young, please have mercy and let him go."
Lipin cried out of breath. She only had this one son. If he died, how would she live?
"Humph, this is the good son you taught me!!! But you're right, how could he do something so young as to hurt his siblings? You must have instigated him to do this. In that case, you will take the punishment for him."
Lipin fell to the ground. She didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless. She didn't want to die, but she didn't want her son to be in trouble either.
She stared at Concubine Lan fiercely. This matter was completely planned by Concubine Lan, but now nothing happened.
From the situation just now, she has already realized that the emperor has no intention of blaming Concubine Lan. Is it just because her mother's family is powerful?
Oh, that's right, I am just the daughter of a small minister, how can I compare to the daughter of the regent who is so precious?
She now felt that she was too stupid. She had come to her only to find someone to take the blame. Now she could only smile bitterly.
Concubine Lan was frightened by her stare.
"Why are you glaring at me? You didn't discipline your own son properly, and you let him lead Han'er astray. What are your intentions?"
Lipin knew that she was about to die and was not afraid of anything.
"Humph, if your son didn't have such thoughts, would he have gone with you? The Imperial Concubine has also taught her a good son!"
"you!"
Concubine Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is also involved in this matter, which means he also intends to murder the Crown Prince. We can't just punish Yuan'er alone."
Concubine Li gnashed her teeth in hatred. Now that they had waded into this mess, no one could escape unscathed!
"Lipin is right. The Imperial Concubine has an unshirkable responsibility for Han'er's condition. I punish you with house arrest for three months. The two of you will kneel in the ancestral hall every day and reflect on your mistakes!"
"Yes, I accept the punishment."
"The son accepts the punishment"
"The son accepts the punishment"
Lipin didn't expect the emperor to punish Concubine Lan so lightly, but she had no choice.
"Come here, take Concubine Li away and give her poisoned wine!"
Let you taste the pain that Ye'er felt
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished. I only ask Your Majesty to take good care of Yuan'er after I leave, so that he can have someone to rely on."
The emperor said impatiently
"Yuan'er is my child, I will definitely take care of him"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Lipin finished speaking, she was taken away.
"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..."
The eldest prince cried and called Lipin
"Yuan'er, you must live well"
Lipin cried and laughed, and took a last look at her son
The eldest prince nodded
The matter came to an end. The Queen had a long argument with the Emperor about why the punishment for Concubine Lan was so light. She knew the Emperor's concerns, but she was unwilling to accept it.
As a result, she gradually distanced herself from the emperor. However, even so, the emperor would still go to the queen's palace every day. Firstly, he felt guilty about her and Ye'er, and secondly, he only had the queen in his heart.
In recent years, their relationship has eased a little. Now that the prince is willing to come out, the queen is naturally happy.
-
Ye Qingge didn't expect Xiao Lingche to tell her so much, nor did she expect that he was so pitiful since he was a child.
So this is why he has been fighting outside for many years, away from the cold and indifferent palace, and has also fought for his own corner of the world.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your Majesty, you actually told me these palace secrets"
"What's the big deal? I'll tell you everything you want to hear."
"Your Majesty, in fact, your identity also protects you in disguise."
"Yes, I have no one to rely on, and they are too lazy to plot against me. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Xiao Lingche said this easily, but Ye Qingge was moved.
