"San'er, don't worry, I will give you justice. I'm a little tired now, so I'll let Concubine Shu stay in jail for a few days so that she can reflect on herself.
When I'm not tired anymore, I'll think about what to do with her, okay?
You also know that Shufei is your mother's cousin. No matter how to deal with Shufei, I have to talk to your mother first.
Otherwise, your mother will quarrel with me."
The old emperor evaded King Kang with these few words. Although he was asking King Kang whether he was willing to do so, he had actually made up his mind.
What else could King Kang say? He could only agree and leave the palace.
After the old emperor watched Prince Kang leave, his wrinkled face turned gloomy.
"An Yi."
An Yi appeared silently. His tone was usually calm, but today one could hear some nervousness and urgency in his voice.
"Your Majesty, I can explain this matter. It's because..."
“That’s enough!”
The old emperor interrupted An Yi's unfinished words with a cold shout.
An Yi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"An Yi, I have already told you very clearly, but it is obvious that the people you sent out did not take my words to heart.
Where are the people you sent out? Did they really go with Concubine Shu's secret guards to assassinate Concubine Kang?"
The old emperor's voice was extremely cold, and the aura of a superior was so oppressive that cold sweats soaked An Yi's back.
"Reporting to the Emperor, there are ten of them in total. They indeed went to the mountain with the five secret guards of Concubine Shu to assassinate the carriage of Prince Kang's mansion!"
"Oh? Then why did Prince Kang only bring those five secret guards? Where are the other ten? I asked you to leave Prince Gong's token. Did Prince Kang get it?"
The old emperor's series of questions made An Yi break out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, I boldly speculate that Prince Kang must have detained those ten people in the Prince Kang's Palace for interrogation.
I am very sure that Prince Gong's token is in the hands of Prince Kang.
As for why Prince Kang only brought Concubine Shu's five secret guards into the palace to ask for your explanation...
I am a fool and cannot guess what King Kang is thinking."
The old emperor stroked the jade ring on his thumb and snorted coldly.
"You're making a bold guess? Don't they have spies in Prince Kang's mansion? Could it be that they didn't pass on the news to you?
Or has Prince Kang already managed to eliminate the spies in his palace?"
An Yi was silent for a moment.
The old emperor frowned and glared at An Yi, his tone filled with disbelief, "Did Prince Kang really eliminate all the spies in Prince Kang's Palace?!"
"Yes, I tried to contact the informants in Prince Kang's palace, but failed."
The old emperor was really shocked this time.
In his impression, King Kang's son was cowardly and not interested in power.
But the other sons were somewhat ambitious about the position he held.
In order to restrain these ambitious sons, he deliberately created the illusion that Prince Kang was his most beloved prince.
If other sons, such as Prince Gong and Prince Ning, had confronted Prince Kang, or even harmed him.
He could also use the excuse that his favorite son was being bullied to weaken the power of Prince Gong and Prince Ning.
For example, in this incident, he thought that if Prince Kang could stand up a little and confront Prince Gong, he could kill two birds with one stone.
But Prince Kang ignored Prince Gong who had harmed him twice, and instead brought Concubine Shu's secret guards into the palace to let him deal with Concubine Shu and make the decision for him!
Could it be that Prince Kang has also begun to covet his throne? !
Thinking of this possibility, the murderous intent in the old emperor's eyes became even stronger.
"Find another opportunity to plant spies in Prince Kang's mansion! Also, get some people to assassinate Prince Gong and leave evidence that Prince Kang ordered it."
He only allows himself to scheme against others, and never allows others to scheme against him!
He will not allow anyone to covet his throne!
"yes."
On the other side, when King Kang was leaving the palace and about to get on the carriage, he noticed that the onlookers who had been there were still around, pretending to glance at him casually.
It can be seen that they were very curious about who in the palace dared to assassinate someone from Prince Kang's mansion.
King Kang thought of what his father had done and an idea came to his mind.
He went straight back to his house and immediately went to Qingzhuyuan to talk to his wife about what happened in the palace.
In the Qingzhu Courtyard, Song Jiujiu had already had a full meal and was playing with a small toy on the small bed.
After she woke up during the day, she vaguely recalled that when she was half asleep, she seemed to hear her parents say something important.
What about entering the palace, being in charge, being the Concubine Shu, Prince Gong, etc.
She didn't know what it was exactly.
What she remembered most clearly was that the chicken leg flew away from her mouth in her dream.
well.
Song Jiujiu sighed softly, and then she heard familiar footsteps coming.
"Madam! I'm back. Is Jiu'er still asleep?"
As soon as King Kang came in, he asked his daughter.
Ye Peizhu stood up and walked to the small bed and took a look. "He fell asleep, Your Majesty. How is he? What did the Emperor say?"
When Song Jiujiu heard his father's voice, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
She didn't know why she pretended to be asleep, it was just a subconscious action.
Prince Kang told the emperor everything that happened in the palace in detail.
"From your perspective, I'm afraid the Emperor will be lenient this time and won't punish Concubine Shu.
Madam, I have an idea, but I wonder if it will work."
Prince Kang lowered his voice and whispered in his wife's ear.
Song Jiujiu pricked up her ears to listen, but she couldn't hear anything clearly.
"What is my dad saying? Speak louder. Are you afraid I'll hear you?"
The sudden sound of the baby voice startled King Kang and Ye Peizhu.
The couple looked at each other and fell silent.
Jiuer, this clever little girl, actually pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped on their conversation!
It seems that next time I say something that Jiuer must not hear, I will have to do it behind her back.
Why aren't Mom and Dad talking anymore? Or are they done?
But my father actually had the courage to rush to the palace to ask the old emperor for justice. It was really not easy!
Congratulations, congratulations, my dad has finally stood up again!
But I think that my father’s actions today will definitely make the old emperor wary and suspicious.
After all, my father was so foolish and naive before, but now he is so brave. The old emperor is suspicious by nature and will definitely think too much!
Song Jiujiu's thoughts served as a reminder to King Kang and Ye Peizhu.
The couple looked at each other again and saw what was in each other's eyes.
Prince Kang stood up first and said, "Madam, I will be leaving for a while."
"good."
Ye Peizhu also stood up and called Qiuyun in from outside to look after Song Jiujiu, then she went out.
[Qiuyun came in? My parents are out? What's going on? Are they whispering behind my back again?]
Song Jiujiu puffed out her cheeks and kicked her short legs.
King Kang and his wife went to the next room and closed the doors and windows before speaking.
"Your Majesty, I think what Jiuer said is quite right."
