Chapter 7: The disciple is better than the master
When the prince was doubting himself, the voice appeared again.
[Ah? Why are you so sensitive? Tell me more! ]
[Well, the prince's melon is quite tragic, and it is also related to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is worthy of being the melon owner, and he is related to so many melons both before and after his death.]
Prince: !!!
He looked at his father in disbelief and asked, "You asked me to listen quietly while others curse you to death?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the emperor's face, and he coughed lightly to signal the prince to calm down.
[Yes, system, please get to the point.]
[According to the story I read before, the emperor should have been assassinated seven days ago. After the emperor's death, General Wu Yi was framed as a treasonous person and was quickly imprisoned and was about to be executed.
The prince was kindhearted and believed that Wu Yi was probably wrongly accused, so he urged the Ministry of Justice to provide solid evidence, otherwise Wu Yi could not be executed.
[Yeah, and then. 】
【The mastermind behind this was very angry about this, and deliberately forged several letters that the prince and Wu Yi were secretly colluding. At the same time, this news was passed on to the storyteller in the capital. Three days later, rumors spread in the capital of Daxia that "the prince deliberately joined forces with Wu Yi to assassinate the emperor in order to ascend the throne as soon as possible." The prince was suddenly pushed to the forefront of the storm.】
【At this time, the second prince was instigated by the mastermind to stand up. In front of all the civil and military officials, the second prince pointed to the sky and swore that he could prove that the prince was the murderer who assassinated the emperor. At the same time, the second prince also used the most ruthless trick. He proposed that in order to show that he had no selfish motives, he promised that he would never ascend to the throne in this life, and he was even willing to help the prince's son ascend the throne. 】
[Oh my god! This oath is so cruel, and it is very convincing to the court officials! What kind of handle has been caught on the second prince? Or does he hate the crown prince so much? ! ]
Not only was Yuan Ruan excited, the expressions of the three people who were eavesdropping on the side also changed rapidly.
Wu Yi's eyes widened. His attitude towards melons was already bad. After all, he had heard countless secrets. If the emperor really wanted to investigate, he would not have enough heads to chop off. So now he only cared about why the second prince was like this.
The prince's face looked very bad.
At this moment, the prince already knew that the inexplicable voice was not an illusion, but a magical power that could see through past lives and the future.
After realizing this, the prince fell into a strange silence.
My second brother has a good relationship with him, and he comes to the Prince's Palace from time to time to appreciate flowers and chat.
When did he offend his second brother?
The emperor and the prince had the same bad expressions.
No father would be happy to see his children killing each other, let alone what kind of evidence could force the Second Prince to slander the Crown Prince so recklessly?
After experiencing the shock of Yuan Ruan's life experience, the emperor was not thinking about the dispute between brothers, but...
The Second Prince, could it be that he is not his child?
…
[The Second Prince doesn’t hate the Crown Prince.]
The prince relaxed his breath, but his expression became even more confused.
[Why is that? Hiss, isn't the second prince the emperor's son? ]
【That’s not the case.】
The emperor's expression softened a little, but then it froze.
[But it’s even more ridiculous than this, because the prince’s son is not the prince’s.]
Wu Yi: !!!
Prince: !!!
emperor:!!!
The prince couldn't stay any longer.
All these years he had only one son, whom he educated and loved very much. However, a mysterious voice told him that the son was not his.
How could he accept this!
"Father, my son, my son..." The prince wanted to go back and find out what happened, but when he thought of the heavy burden of touring westward, he couldn't bring himself to say the words "going home".
The emperor patted the prince on the shoulder and said coldly: "Wait a minute, even if you want to accuse him, you have to find out the reason."
The prince was stunned. Yes.
Since that voice could tell that the son was not his, it should also know who the adulterer was.
Sure enough, the soft and sticky voice sounded again:
【Oh my god! Whose son is that?】
[The second prince. He and the crown prince's concubine had secretly agreed to be married. But when the emperor arranged a marriage, the second prince wanted to marry the general's daughter, so he abandoned the crown prince's concubine.
However, the general did not want to marry into the royal family, and the second prince ultimately failed to fulfill his wish. He still had feelings for the crown prince's concubine, so he took the opportunity to go to the crown prince's house to appreciate the flowers and hooked up with the crown prince's concubine again. The two of them half-heartedly agreed and... completed the important matter of having a baby. 】
Crowd: !!!
Wu Yi held back his shocked expression.
The prince looked dazed, obviously as if he was hit.
The emperor, on the other hand, had the calmest expression, an expression that was unexpected but also reasonable upon closer thought.
No wonder the second brother didn’t fight for the position himself, but was willing to help the prince’s son to take the throne, it turned out that he was his own son.
[How pitiful the prince is! He has been cuckolded so much! Is there any way to let my nephew know? Hurry back and catch this adulterous couple and beat them to death immediately!]
[Uh... I think that given the Crown Prince's kind and eccentric personality, it might not matter if he is caught. He might even help the lovers to be together.]
Crowd: !!!
The emperor and Wu Yi looked at the prince in disbelief.
Are you such a coward?
The prince's handsome face turned green with anger, and he kept waving his hands to indicate that it was impossible.
[System, what are you talking about? This is impossible to tolerate.]
[You don't understand the prince, I understand better than you! Do you know why he is called the most fragile person? It means that when the prince was forced to the point of panic by the second prince, in order to save Wu Yi from the execution ground as soon as possible and to prove his innocence of not treason, the prince actually peeled off his heart in front of everyone in the court to prove his innocence. ]
Crowd: !!!
What?
Heartless?!
[Hiss, then the prince is dead, isn't he? ]
[Yes! The prince said to the court officials, "Ancient books once said that people who kill their parents have black hearts, livers, spleens and lungs. Today, I will peel off my heart to prove that I have never killed my father." After saying this, the prince cut open his chest with a knife, held up his red heart, stood in the court, and bled to death. ]
The emperor glared at the prince, his face full of anger.
Wu Yi looked at the prince worriedly, somewhat moved but more of a disapproval.
The prince wanted to make a few excuses for himself, but when he put himself in the situation, he actually felt that given his personality, it was possible that he would do such a thing.
[My nephew, this is... hard to judge. When relatives are sad, enemies are happy.]
[Yes, that is... In fact, even if he killed all his nine clansmen, his heart would still be kind. That's why I said that the prince is so kind-hearted. If he found out about the relationship between my second brother and the concubine, he might just help them get together.]
Hearing this, the emperor finally couldn't help but whispered: "Prince..."
"Your son will handle this impartially!" The prince said with a dark face, gritting his teeth, "I will never make a joke..."
[But thinking back, the prince and the emperor are indeed father and son. The emperor was worried about being cheated after listening to the palace maids, and under the instigation of the mastermind, he suspected that the black-eyed prince in the dragon and phoenix fetus was replaced. So when the emperor went out on a tour to the west, he was searching for blue-eyed babies all the way, which led to the assassination of the thieves.
As for the prince, a fake child really appeared and was really cheated on. This is what the old saying says: the disciple surpasses the master. 】
Crowd: !!!
The corner of the prince's mouth twitched slightly: What kind of disciple surpasses the master is this! The system is too mean.
[System, you are too damaged. How can this be called a disciple surpassing the master? ]
[Okay, let’s finish talking about the gossip. ]
【Who is the mastermind behind this? 】
The emperor, Wu Yi and the prince all pricked up their ears at the same time.
Yes!
Tell me quickly!
Quickly catch this troublemaker who is stirring up trouble!
