King Kang stayed in the palace for three days.
During these three days, he could be said to be under house arrest.
Although there were no restrictions on eating and drinking, he was restricted from spreading rumors outside.
He couldn't ask anyone to tell his wife and children that he was fine for the time being.
During these three days, he was in the palace and could do nothing but eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep, and he was anxious.
Madam, Jiuer and the sons must be very worried about him.
King Kang sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside, feeling anxious and uneasy.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Eunuch Fuquan's shrill voice sounded at the door.
Prince Kang quickly stood up and went to greet him, "Father! I am innocent!"
He couldn't wait to explain, but the old emperor raised his hand to stop him.
"I know you are wronged."
King Kang was stunned, "???"
The old emperor sat down at the table and sighed, "In the past few days, I have had people carefully investigate the assassination and found the real culprit.
San'er, you were framed, but do you know who framed you?"
The face of Prince Ning appeared in Prince Kang's mind, but he did not say it out loud, "I don't know."
The old emperor sneered, "The one who framed you was Prince Ning, your good brother. Didn't you expect that?"
Upon hearing this, King Kang thought to himself that it was indeed so, and showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Ning...Brother Prince Ning?! Did Brother Prince Ning order the assassin to kill your father?!
Why did Brother Ning Wang do this?!"
"Who knows? Not only did he do this, he also sent assassins to shoot arrows from the dark, hoping to take the opportunity to kill your little daughter and even put the blame on you!
If I didn't really not believe that you, San'er, would do such a thing to me, I would have insisted on sending someone to investigate the matter carefully.
I'm afraid you've been wrongly accused!"
The old emperor sighed and shook his head in disappointment. "I am truly disappointed with Prince Ning. San'er, don't worry. I will give you justice. Prince Ning, don't try to put the blame on you!"
King Kang was deeply moved as he listened to every word his father said.
But the words that my wife and daughter had said seemed to ring in my ears.
"Who knows if the old emperor's love for my father is true? My father is just too naive."
"After all, the feelings within the royal family are not as important as interests."
He sobered up a little, pulled himself away from the emotion of his father's love, and calmed down a little.
"Thank you, Father. I feel my relationship with Prince Ning isn't particularly good, but we haven't had any conflicts either.
Ah, there seems to be a contradiction."
Prince Kang frowned, "Could it be that Prince Ning still holds a grudge against me because of what happened back then?"
The old emperor glanced at Prince Kang, pretending to be ignorant. "What happened back then? What happened? I thought you, San'er, had no conflicts with Prince Ning."
Prince Kang had a complicated expression. "Back then, my wife and I were in love, but Prince Ning wanted to marry my wife. I suspect Prince Ning still harbors resentment towards me because of that incident."
"So there is such a thing. Considering Prince Ning's personality, it is really possible.
But no matter what the reason, he hired assassins to kill me and my granddaughter, and put the blame on you. This is a fact.
I'm sorry that you've been kept here these few days. Now that the real culprit has been identified, I shouldn't keep you under house arrest any longer.
But please wait a little longer while I order someone to bring Prince Ning into the palace for interrogation."
After the old emperor finished speaking, he made a gesture to get up and leave.
Prince Kang hurriedly said, "Father, could you please send someone to tell my wife that I'm fine and not to worry about me?"
"Of course, I will send someone, just stay here and relax."
After the old emperor left, Prince Kang felt a little relieved. He also began to think about the deeper meaning of what his father had said to him.
The old emperor returned to the imperial study and ordered people to bring Prince Ning and the guard who had gone to the Killing Pavilion to hire someone to kill him to be brought before him.
The scene of Prince Ning being taken away from his mansion by the royal guards also caught the eyes of many people.
After Ye Peizhu learned about this, she also happened to receive a message from the palace servants that Prince Kang was safe, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, it depends on how the old emperor will deal with Prince Ning.
She didn't expect the old emperor to take Prince Ning's life this time.
As long as the old emperor's treatment can make Prince Ning lose some skin and relieve their hatred, that will be enough.
Imperial study.
"Prince Ning, you really disappoint me!"
The old emperor shouted harshly and threw the evidence in front of Prince Ning.
That is Prince Ning's token.
When Prince Ning saw the token, his eyes flashed and he exclaimed, "How could my token be here?!
Father, my token has been lost for a while. I wonder where you found it?!"
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you lose your token?"
"That's right. I just discovered that the token was missing some time ago. I ordered people to search the house but couldn't find it. I thought I had lost it, but I didn't expect to see it here!
I wonder where your Majesty found this son's token?"
Prince Ning picked up the token with a look of surprise.
The old emperor sized up Prince Ning's expression. "Prince Ning, you gave your token to your guards, instructing them to go to the Killing Pavilion and hire someone to assassinate the legitimate daughter of me and Prince Kang. Do you admit this or not?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Ning's eyes widened slightly, his face filled with shock.
"What?! Father! I am innocent!
I have no knowledge of this matter! I would never order someone to assassinate you!
It is true that my token was lost some time ago. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my son!
