Chapter 535 Abandoned Son

Pei Zhen was stunned and lay on the ground for a long time without reacting.

Xu Muhua said that he understood her mood at this time.

Pei Zhen obviously didn't expect that she would become an abandoned son! It was

obvious that the Qin Wang knew that the situation was out of control, and in order to avoid involving himself, he immediately pulled her out as a shield! There was really no hesitation!

Or maybe the Qin Wang had already made plans, but Pei Zhen didn't know.

Pei Zhen really didn't expect that the Qin Wang would push her out as a shield without hesitation. She hasn't even recovered from this incident, but he has already thought of the next step and regarded her as an abandoned son.

"Prince Qin, do you mean that all this was done by the concubine in your house?"

Prince Qin knelt down heavily, "Father, it's all my fault! Ever since this woman became pregnant, I have been very happy and have been very fond of her. After she became pregnant, she kept complaining in my ear, saying that she was young and ignorant in the past, and had some conflicts with the Crown Princess, and she wanted to sincerely resolve them."

"I thought this was a good thing. She and the Crown Princess are sisters, and Master Pei is older, and he often worries about the two sisters. If we can really resolve the misunderstandings and resolve the conflicts, everyone will be happy."

"That's why I advised her to go to the Eastern Palace more often and get along well with the Crown Princess. I didn't expect that she actually had such thoughts! It's all my fault that when I heard the servants say that the baby in her belly had an accident, I lost my mind and didn't think seriously, which led to so many misunderstandings. I thought it was really the Eastern Palace..."

Prince Qin kowtowed, "It's all my fault, please punish me, father!"

Very good!

Xu Muhua really wanted to applaud Prince Qin.

Look at his reaction, how quick!

He pushed all the responsibility away, showing his innocence, but also looked willing to take responsibility. This regretful tone, this annoyed emotion, how sincere! It makes people want to go up and help him up, and then say that it's not your fault.

"Ms. Pei, what else do you have to say!"

Pei Zhen had collapsed to the ground with a dazed look.

What else did she have to say? What else could she have said?

No matter how stupid she was, she understood it now.

Her husband, the King Qin, had planned it all out long ago. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy. If it failed, she would be the scapegoat!

Even if she told the truth now, would the emperor give her a chance to speak?

"Hahaha..."

She suddenly laughed uncontrollably.

The emperor's face was livid and he ordered, "Drag Ms. Pei away!"

Pei Zhen did not resist. After laughing, she seemed to have lost her soul. Someone pinched her arm and half-supported and half-dragged her out.

"Crown Prince, Crown Princess, how do you want this matter to be handled?"

Zhao Chengye and Pei Shaorong hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Muhua couldn't help but whispered, "Why are you still asking us how to handle things? Just handle it the way it should be handled!"

The emperor felt that the anger in his heart was about to come out!

The queen, who had been acting as a tool on the side, continued to remain silent, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Muhua was a little indescribable.

Pei Shaorong anxiously tugged at Xu Muhua's sleeve, fearing that she would anger the emperor and be punished.

The blue veins on Zhao Chengye's forehead seemed to jump.

After Pei Shaorong pulled his sleeve, Xu Muhua finally reacted, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth, then blinked and looked at the emperor innocently.

The emperor couldn't just scold him for muttering these two words, but he was really holding back his anger in his heart and was about to vent it on his two sons.

Zhao Chengye stood up and said, "Father, although the Eastern Palace was wronged today, fortunately no big mistake was made. This matter was caused by the fourth brother's concubine, so let the fourth brother handle it!"

Very good!

Xu Muhua secretly gave Zhao Chengye a thumbs up.

Not only did he point out that what happened to the Eastern Palace today was completely an unprovoked disaster, but he also showed his deep understanding of justice and love for his brother.

In fact, everyone knew very well what happened. Of course, the emperor knew it too.

The emperor was also very happy to see that Prince Qin pushed all the responsibilities onto Pei Zhen. After all, Prince Qin was his son no matter what, and the emperor didn't want his two sons to quarrel.

And Pei Zhen was just an outsider, and a concubine at that. It was no big deal if she died.

"Since the prince said so, let Prince Qin handle it yourself! Pei was your concubine in the backyard, and you can't get away from it if she did such a thing!"

The emperor said, "Leave all the things on your hands to the prince, and confine him to house arrest for three months, and you are not allowed to leave Prince Qin's mansion!"

Prince Qin's face turned pale, and his body seemed to shake. "Your son obeys your order!"

Xu Muhua felt that he seemed to hear a bit of gnashing of teeth in Prince Qin's tone.

It seems that the emperor is still quite good to this Prince Qin. Although everyone knew that this matter was caused by Prince Qin, he just followed suit and pushed the responsibility onto Pei Zhen. Doesn't this mean that he doesn't want to pursue this matter anymore?

Tsk, is it really because of his age that he has become soft-hearted?

The emperor didn't say anything else and quickly got up and left.

When Prince Qin stood up, he had even sorted out his emotions. Facing Zhao Chengye's face full of shame, he said a few words and then acted as if he was ashamed to face people and hurried away.

"I'm sorry for putting you in trouble today."

The queen took Pei Shaorong's hand and spoke with pity.

Pei Shaorong shook her head, "It was us who made your mother worry."

The queen sighed and said nothing more. Instead, she said to Zhao Chengye, "Now that this has happened, you should go back to the East Palace first! I believe the prince knows what to do about other things, so I won't say more."

"Don't worry, mother, I understand everything."

By the time they left Changchun Palace, the matter had already spread quickly.

When the incident happened, Pei Zhen and Prince Qin had intended to make a big fuss, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would suffer the loss! If the matter had been suppressed from the beginning and not spread, there might have been room for a turnaround and the reputation of Prince Qin's mansion could have been saved to the greatest extent.

Now it's too late to regret! Prince Qin,

who had been holding on, finally managed to walk out of the palace gate and get on his carriage, but he couldn't hold on any longer and spit out a mouthful of blood!

The guards who were about to lower the curtain were so scared that their faces turned pale!

"Prince!"

"Shut up! Go back home quickly!"

As for Pei Zhen who was dragged out earlier, Prince Qin had completely forgotten about this person. He was only thinking about how to break this situation next!
