Chapter 1366: Trap
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his confidant to continue the investigation.
Where did this air-breathing wind come from?
Why did such a rumor spread to slander the prince? Who spread it?
It just so happened that such rumors were spread when the Qingdi envoys were still in Daqin. This was clearly a sinister intention! If they were not severely punished to serve as a warning to others, what would happen?
He was an emperor who was not old and confused yet. Who on earth dared to tease him like this? It was obvious that he was also included in the plot.
The Fourth Prince was shocked, angry and afraid. He hurried into the palace to discuss things with Concubine Mei. In Concubine Mei's bedroom, he angrily cursed the Crown Prince.
Imperial Concubine Mei also had a gloomy face and was filled with anger.
At this point, what else do the mother and son not understand?
They were fooled!
Needless to say, the person who set up the trap must be the prince! This prince deliberately exposed doubts, deliberately let them catch "handles", and deliberately did some things that would cause them to misunderstand and induce them to step by step into his trap according to his ideas.
They thought they had discovered his secrets by spying on him, that they had something on him without him even realizing it, that they had a sure win, but it turned out to be all fake!
It was an illusion he designed to deliberately lure them in!
The fourth prince was particularly angry: "I never thought that the dignified prince would resort to such despicable and shameless means! I never thought that one day he would become like this! What a gentle, elegant, and gentlemanly prince, huh!"
The Fourth Prince's filter of the Crown Prince's gentlemanliness was shattered into pieces.
If the same thing happened to the Second Prince or the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince would most likely not act rashly or do more research.
But the prince is different.
How else can I put it? When an honest person starts to cheat, it's really deadly!
The prince doesn't want his life!
Imperial Concubine Mei sneered: "I have already said that there is no wolf in this world that does not eat meat and drink blood! He is the crown prince. If he is really so gentle, kind and harmless, he would not be able to sit in this position."
"This time, it was because of your and my negligence that he was tricked. It won't happen again."
"But mother, if father finds out about this, what should I do?"
The Fourth Prince cannot help but be afraid of his father's methods.
He had no confidence that his father would not be able to find out the truth.
There are probably few things in the capital city that can be hidden from his father.
Moreover, he thought he had a sure win, and in his excitement and pride he was bound to make mistakes, which was even worse.
If it is true, then there is naturally no such concern. When the emperor gets angry, he will scold and reprimand the prince, and will definitely not investigate other twists and turns.
But that is not the case.
Imperial Concubine Mei couldn't help but frown.
Similarly, she had no idea.
"Given your father's temper, this matter will not be easily resolved. You should hand over something significant to take the blame. I will apologize to your father and tell him the truth."
The fourth prince opened his eyes wide in shock, "Tell the truth!"
Imperial Concubine Mei sneered, "Even if we don't tell you, do you think your father doesn't know? We can't take that risk. I know what to say. Your father won't be happy to spread the scandal of you two brothers. But you have to be prepared, I'm afraid you'll be scolded."
