Chapter 222: Suing General Chu for Harming the Royal Bloodline
The third prince felt that his mother's angry words today were strange.
It's all Wu Yunhai's fault that he was a loser and failed to do his job properly. Someone caught him in the act and my mother was so angry that she said this.
"Mother, I have no complaints if you want me to be beaten or punished. Please help my cousin." Although he really wanted Wu Yunhai, the loser, to be punished, he could only think about it in his heart.
It must never be shown.
Although the Wu family was his maternal family, they did not stand behind him and support him.
If the Wu family was standing behind him, it is not certain who would be living in the East Palace now.
Concubine Hui's eyes lit up, but it was this evil child who personally mentioned that he should be punished, and it was not her as a mother who was cruel.
"My son, you have gone too far this time and have implicated the Wu family. If your mother doesn't punish you, it will be difficult to explain to the Wu family and your father.
Don't blame me for being cruel. This is just a temporary solution. Someone, drag the Third Prince out and give him thirty lashes of the cane in the courtyard. Don't pretend to obey, and don't show any mercy."
The third prince suddenly raised his head, wondering if his mother's expedient measure was a bit cruel.
Just giving him a few symbolic hits would have been enough, but he started with thirty lashes and didn't allow any mercy. He was going to beat him to a pulp.
If you don’t know, you might think they are not mother and son, but enemies with a blood feud.
"Mother, isn't thirty lashes a bit too heavy?"
He had always been kept in pampered condition, and he had never been beaten with three strokes of the cane, let alone thirty.
Mrs. Wu, who was standing by, was so frightened that she didn't dare to look up. This woman was so cruel that she was willing to beat her own son with thirty sticks.
Will this woman help to rescue her son?
Concubine Hui said earnestly, "My son, do you think this matter is so easy to resolve? I can pretend to give you a light punishment, but if I do that, you will be ruined, and the Crown Prince will not let you go.
Your father will also be disappointed in you. You know your uncle's temper very well. Your situation will become even more difficult.
Don't forget that you are not yet the crown prince, but merely a prince who has remained in Kyoto and has not yet been crowned a king. If you make a mistake, your fate will be more miserable than that of any other prince. You have no way out."
The third prince's face turned pale. His mother was right. He seemed to be in a good position. He was the only prince besides the crown prince who was left in Kyoto.
In fact, it was just as his mother said, he was living and dying one step at a time. If he took one step forward, he could compete with the prince to enter the East Palace and become the crown prince of Southern Chu.
He had no way out. Unlike the other princes who had fiefdoms to return to, all that awaited him was imprisonment and execution.
"My son understands. Please, Mother, take action."
"Drag him away."
At Concubine Hui's command, palace maids immediately came forward and took the third prince away.
The third prince frowned. His mother didn't need to be so serious about everything. In fact, he could just walk to the courtyard to be punished by himself.
After dealing with the Third Prince, Concubine Hui looked at Madam Wu and said, "Sister-in-law, you have the time to cry and make a fuss in front of me. You might as well go back to the mansion and let the ancestors think of a solution. After all, what I say in front of my eldest brother is not as good as what the ancestors say."
"Sister-in-law, you have seen that I am not having a good time in this deep palace. I can't even protect my own prince. How can you expect me to save Yunhai?
It's not that I, as your aunt, am cruel, it's just that I have the will but not the ability. I'm tired, sister-in-law, please go back."
Mrs. Wu was completely wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
She originally wanted to bring up the Third Prince, but the Imperial Concubine had punished even the Third Prince, so nothing she said would be of any use.
He quickly stood up and took his leave. The Empress was absolutely right. Although his husband had an arrogant temper, he was very respectful to the ancestors of the mansion.
This matter still depends on the ancestors. If it doesn't work, she will write a letter to her cousin who is far away at the border.
My cousin loves Haier the most, even more than his own son.
In the Golden Palace, after dealing with Wu Yunhai, the old emperor was about to leave the court when an official stood up.
"I would like to sue General Chu for killing the royal bloodline."
Everyone suddenly became excited.
They all looked at the minister who stood up.
Lord Fu from the Hanlin Academy.
Master Pang frowned.
Why did he stand up? Did the Crown Prince give orders? This wasn't right. Although he stayed overnight in the Jingzhong Camp yesterday, he sent someone to inform the Crown Prince of what happened in the Jingzhong Camp at full speed.
Your Highness will not suppress Chu Mu at this critical juncture.
Pang Qingyun's eyes darkened. Since it was not the prince's order.
Who ordered that?
Lord Fu was supported by the Crown Prince and is considered a person trusted by the Crown Prince.
The old emperor glanced at Shen Zhao and said to Master Fu, "Tell me, who did General Chu kill!"
In his heart, he was wondering what was going on with the prince. Now was the best time to shake up the Wu family. He was stupid enough to send someone to suppress Chu Mu at this time.
"Yesterday, Princess Yanran went to the General's Mansion to look for her mother..." Lord Fu recounted the story of Shen Qianmeng's visit to the General's Mansion.
He added: "Princess Yanran is still young, it is understandable that she did something wrong in a moment of impulse to save her mother.
But General Chu must not seriously injure Princess Yanran. As far as I know, when Princess Yanran was carried out of the General's Mansion, her palace dress was soaked with blood, her face was pale and bloodless, her eyes were closed, and she was dying.
One can imagine what Princess Yanran went through during her time at the General's Mansion!"
The old emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, "Yanran?" A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't remember which prince had a princess named Yanran in his mansion.
The old emperor looked at Grand Tutor Pang and asked, "Which prince's princess is your beloved Pang Yanran?"
When the old emperor said this, the adult who submitted the memorial froze. The emperor actually didn't remember Princess Yanran!
She is the adopted daughter of the Emperor and the Empress.
"In reply to Your Majesty, Princess Yanran's real name is Shen Qianmeng. She is a daughter of the Shen family and a full sister of General Chu's wife.
Because she made great contribution by reporting her father and brother for embezzling food and supplies, she was adopted as the queen's daughter.
Grant her the title of Princess Yanran."
He really didn't know what happened in the General's Mansion yesterday. He was busy coaxing his wife and son.
Who cares about that?
If I didn't keep a close eye on it for one day, such trouble would happen.
Damn!
This guy surnamed Fu has no manners at all. He actually dared to bypass the Crown Prince and take orders directly from the Queen.
His ambition is obvious, this person cannot be kept.
The ministers looked at Shen Zhao with different expressions, some gloating, some sympathetic, and some watching the show.
This guy surnamed Chu is so bold that he even dares to harm the Queen's adopted daughter.
Princess Yanran is actually his sister-in-law.
The old emperor frowned and directly scolded Master Fu, "How can this be considered royal bloodline?"
He remembered that it was the girl from the Shen family who sold her father for fame and fortune.
Their royal family could never give birth to a girl like that.
The ministers were stunned, but then they heard their emperor speak again:
"Lord Chu, do you have anything to explain?"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
