The former prince's mansion was deserted, desolate and dilapidated.

Inside the house.

The young Zong Zhengshi was lying on the bed, his cheeks flushed, a towel on his forehead, his eyes blurry, and he was sleeping soundly.

The emperor sat in front of the bed with a stern face, staring at the sleeping child.

Although this child is a little naughty and spoiled, she is the emperor's eldest granddaughter.

He has always loved children and has always been very kind to his son, daughter and grandchildren.

The Crown Princess stood beside him, her eyes red, sobbing non-stop, tears streaming down her cheeks:

"Shi'er, Grandpa Huang is here to see you. Try to be better and get well soon so that you can play with Grandpa Huang..."

She cried worriedly.

Her words revealed her purpose:

The Emperor ordered that the Crown Prince be imprisoned, and everyone in the Crown Prince's Mansion suffered. The Crown Princess wanted to use Zong Zheng's poem to plead for mercy with the Emperor.

Zong Zhengyu also planned this.

"Father, you came to visit Shi'er. Shi'er will be very happy when she wakes up. This child misses you every day and likes you very much."

Zong Zhengyu stood to one side, observing the emperor's expression, and spoke tentatively.

"You taught her calligraphy, and she practices it every day. She also reviews ancient poems and classics every day. She studies very hard, and she only hopes to get a compliment from you..."

Because Zong Zhengshi was the emperor's first granddaughter, she had been favored by the emperor since she was a child.

Once, the emperor would take her to the palace to play whenever he had time, teach her personally, and even hold her in his arms and walk very far in his arms. He would also lie down on his noble dragon body and let Zong Zhengshi ride a horse.

"Yes, father, Shi'er..." The Crown Princess also hurriedly started to praise.

Every word is inseparable from Zong Zheng’s poems.

The desire to plead for mercy is particularly obvious.

However, the emperor just sat there upright, looking at the little girl on the bed, his cloudy eyes heavy, and he said nothing.

The words of the dark guard echoed in my mind:

"Your Majesty, according to investigations, for the past decade or so, the Crown Princess has been putting a certain amount of contraceptives into the kitchen water every week..."

The reason why the prince has few offspring has been found.

But... he was no longer angry or furious.

Now that the crown prince has been deposed, all these petty quarrels, disputes and schemes should be allowed to drift away like the wind and flow away like water. Let the crown princess stay forever in this cage-like mansion and reflect on her sins.

a long time.

He stood up and said, "When Shi'er is better, I will send someone to take her to live in the palace."

Zong Zhengyu and the Crown Princess were delighted when they heard this.

From what the emperor said, he seems to be moved by compassion and wants to let them go?

Very good!

After being happy for just a second, the emperor added:

"I will let the highly respected Consort De raise her. From now on, you don't have to worry about her."

The Crown Princess' expression froze on her face.

Zong Zhengyu was shocked, unable to believe it.

The Emperor took Zong Zhengshi away and continued to imprison him. Didn't he intend to give him a chance and let him die of old age in this palace?

No!

Seeing the emperor's back as he left, he hurriedly chased after him:

"No! Father! Don't!"

He couldn't be kept here.

If he can't get out and restore his former glory, he will die.

He will suffocate to death!

"Father, Shi'er is still young and cannot leave her parents. Please don't separate us! Please forgive me for Shi'er's sake!"

He grabbed the emperor's sleeve, knelt on the ground, and said anxiously,

"Father, I know I was wrong. I will never do that again. Please give me a chance!"
