Liu Hao looked at Liu Xuan.
"Old Five, go to the Imperial Study and tell Father what we have found out."
Empress Chen hurriedly asked, "Hao'er, what did you find out?"
"We found out that the third brother also attacked me!" Liu Hao's eyes darkened.
"Do you have evidence?"
"Well, we captured two people, one was Liu Heng's subordinate, and the other was Liu Zhi's subordinate. In order to save their lives, they confessed everything that happened back then."
"Great! Now, let's see how the mother and son can argue!
Jiuer also told us that it was Liu Zhi and Liu Heng who worked together to harm you.
Your father must have gone to the prison to question Liu Heng before calling him to the imperial study.
Let's go to the Imperial Study and settle all the old and new grudges with Liu Zhi!"
After Empress Chen finished speaking, she called Ah Bing and Ah Qing over.
"Xue'er, this is Ah Bing and Ah Qing. The emperor said they will follow you and Jiu'er from now on."
"Your subordinates greet the Madam!"
Nangong Yunxue quickly helped the two of them up.
"Hurry up, you'll have trouble later!
Jiu'er is asleep, so I won't take her with me. You guys should keep a close eye on her and don't let anyone get close to her!"
"yes!"
Imperial study.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor!"
"You evil creature!"
Emperor Dongling raised his stern face and glared at Liu Zhi with full pressure.
"Greetings? Are you hoping I'll die soon?"
Liu Zhi, who was originally bowing, was so scared that he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, I see clearly. How dare I have such thoughts?"
"How dare you!"
Emperor Dongling picked up several memorials on the jade table and threw them at Liu Zhi.
As luck would have it, one of the memorials hit his forehead, and blood flowed down his cheek.
He didn't dare to wipe it and knelt straight.
But his mind was racing. It was impossible that his father was angry about what happened today. What on earth could have made him so angry?
"Father, what did I do wrong?"
"You still dare to ask what I did wrong? Then I will remind you.
Five years ago, you and Liu Heng conspired in Hongcui Tower, and attacked Hao'er several times..."
Liu Zhi's face suddenly lost its color.
Yes, Liu Heng is about to die, how could he not betray me?
"What? Did you remember? Do you want to confront Liu Heng?"
Emperor Dongling glared at Liu Zhi, who was obviously guilty.
"You, evil creature, have you murdered your brothers and sisters with such cruel methods? Tell me, how should I punish you?"
"Father, you cannot let Liu Heng accuse you so casually. Your son..."
"Liu Zhi, look at this man, do you know him?"
Empress Chen and her entourage entered the imperial study with two witnesses.
When Liu Zhi saw his subordinates who had followed him for many years, he was completely panicked.
Liu Hao looked at Emperor Dongling and said, "Father, one of these two men is under Liu Heng, and the other is under him, Liu Zhi.
They all participated in the assassination of my son..."
Empress Chen added fuel to the fire in time.
"Your Majesty, Liu Zhi and Concubine Zheng Shu planned to trick Xue'er into going to Renchun Palace today, hoping to plot against her!"
"Father, this is unjust..."
"Unjust? Aren't you from the Imperial Study in Renchun Palace?
Nanny Zheng, who is beside your mother, used both soft and hard tactics to force Xue'er to go to Renchun Palace to appreciate some exotic flowers.
If Jiuer hadn't woken up and started crying today, you would have succeeded!"
Emperor Dong Ling looked at Nangong Yunxue: "Is it true?"
Nangong Yunxue squatted down and said: "Your Majesty, everything the Queen said is true..."
After Nangong Yunxue repeated what Nanny Zheng said, Emperor Dongling was so angry that he slammed the jade table loudly.
"Asshole! That old slave is tired of living! Lai Fu, go to Renchun Palace and bring that old slave here!"
Emperor Dongling paused and said, "Call Concubine Zheng Shu as well.
If we don't let them recognize their true identities today, they will still think that this palace is a place where they can run wild!"
Eunuch Wei hurriedly agreed and went down to do it.
"Father, I don't have any!
I just happened to go to the palace to see my mother, and I didn’t know that Madam Zheng would do this…” Liu Zhi tried to distance himself from the matter.
"Oh, you mean, Madam Zheng did this on her own initiative? Does she have a grudge against Xue'er?"
"Perhaps Madam Zheng felt that Mother was too lonely and wanted Madam Xue to accompany her."
"Your mother is lonely? Aren't you accompanying her?"
"I said I wanted to leave..."
"Then why haven't you left yet? What are you waiting for?"
"Mother held me aside and talked for a while."
Everyone looked coldly at Liu Zhi who was trying hard to excuse himself.
Soon, Eunuch Wei and others escorted Nanny Zheng, followed by Concubine Zheng Shu, who looked bewildered, into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, a few years ago, when our son was still young and ignorant, he was deceived by others and did something wrong. He has been living with regret all these years.
Please give him a chance to atone for his sins, he will make it up to the Second Prince.
As for Madam Xue's matter, it was a misunderstanding!"
Emperor Dongling looked at Concubine Zheng Shu with cold eyes.
Empress Chen angrily retorted: "You are still young and ignorant. You are also a mother. How can you say such a thing?
I'll have Liu Zhi's legs broken, and I'll just say indifferently, "You're still young and ignorant." Is that okay?
Concubine Zheng was speechless, her lips moving for a long time. She avoided Empress Chen's gaze and looked at Emperor Dongling: "Your Majesty, please forgive my son this time!"
"This time? Concubine Zheng Shufei, what about you and your son colluding to plot against Xue'er?"
"Your Majesty, I don't have..."
"No? Do you really think everyone else is stupid?
