Chapter 378 He was actually jealous of Xier
Many ministers around had never thought that such a thing would happen.
His Royal Highness the eldest prince has always been gentle and calm, and he would be very calm no matter what happened.
Today's action was really unexpected.
However, the emperor did not move, and was not surprised at all.
On the side, Ci Xin did not move either, he just watched coldly.
Xiao Yue was chatting with Liu Rushi and several daughters of the nobles. When they heard the movement, they all turned around and looked.
With a "snap!", the dagger fell in front of Xiao Yin.
Baby Ruoxi's eyes were cold. She had said long ago that there was some evil spirit in this child.
However, it was Bai Yu who took action this time. He was the only guard with a knife. However, he did not draw out the long knife. He just took away Xiao Yuting's dagger with his bare hands.
"How dare you!" The Queen Mother's voice came from behind. She looked at Xiao Yuting coldly and said, "As a prince of the royal family, you actually killed the king in public. I think you are tired of living!"
"Xiao Yuting, do you know why I let you bring a dagger?" asked the emperor.
"..." Xiao Yuting shook his head, his expression wooden.
"Is this Ministry of Internal Affairs really so stupid that they can't even find a dagger?" Xiao Yin said coldly.
"My son is wrong. Please punish me, father!" Xiao Yuting kowtowed.
"Wrong?" The emperor stood up and said lightly: "What's wrong with you? You just want to ascend the throne in advance. You just heard that I did the same thing before, so you just want to imitate me!" "
I haven't heard anyone say that. I just thought that my father favors my second brother and likes Ruoxi very much. However, Mingjing is your daughter today, and I am the eldest prince!" Xiao Yuting looked up at the emperor and said, "I asked Master Jingen, and he said that you have a long life in your fate, but he shook his head about me, which means that I will die in front of you. Father, I have no hope. You don't like my mother, and you don't like my sister either. What do you want me to do? Teach me!"
"Is this your reason for regicide?" On one side, several ministers were stunned. After a long while, they came back to their senses and said one after another: "Your Highness, this is not how you deal with it. Is the throne so easy to seize? Is this throne so easy to sit on?"
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, are you crazy? His Majesty the Emperor has entrusted you with important tasks and asked you to lead troops. He has also been teaching you many strategies for governing the country in the study. Isn't this telling the world that you are the successor cultivated by His Majesty the Emperor in the future? Why are you so anxious!"
"Hey, Your Highness, the eldest prince, in the past, I thought you were a very stable and wise prince, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future. But now I think you are the most confused and stupid!"
"Your Highness, when did you start to change? Oh, it started when you went to Yonghe City to rescue the emperor!"
The court officials understood. The eldest prince had clearly set out to rescue the emperor, but he was delayed for a long time. Moreover, the eldest prince took the initiative to stay in Yonghe City to clean up the mess, and was assassinated again. He has not returned since then.
Everyone was curious at first, but now they seem to have guessed something.
"What do you think of stationing troops in Yonghe City? Do you know that the cities surrounding this imperial city are all guarded by the emperor's most trusted subordinates and his most trusted friends in the past? How can they be easily bought by you!" said the Minister of War on the side.
"One hundred thousand taels of gold, and it's engraved with the Xiyue Royal family name. Xiao Yuting, have you been played, is someone deliberately trying to frame you, or is this what you really want?" Xiao Yue stood up and asked.
"That's what I really want!" Xiao Yuting looked at Xiao Yue, and after a while, he cried and laughed, "Aunt, when I was young, you were my heaven. My mother didn't like me, and my father was always away from home. You were the person I trusted the most. Later, I grew up, and you didn't see me for so many years, so that's all. I knew you were plotted against and married to Shangguan Jinghong. I wanted to see you, but you wouldn't let me. Later, I learned to be independent, and my father finally liked me. He took me to study in the Yu study every day, and he also asked the tutor to assist me!"
"What else do you want?" Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Yuting, who was shaking with excitement, and asked with a frown.
"It's because you gave birth to Ruoxi. After you gave birth to her, my father fell in love with her. My love was taken away again. You, on the other hand, also devoted yourself to your own child. You don't like me. You don't like me at all!" Xiao Yuting said.
"..." This time, not only Xiao Yue was stunned, but everyone in the whole hall was stunned.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, is this purely jealous?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, how could you do this? Be jealous of a little girl! To be honest, little Ruoxi is loved by everyone!"
"Yes, the Crown Princess is smart, and she can help His Majesty the Emperor build his empire. Who wouldn't like her!"
"That's right, the Crown Prince is fifteen years old and is about to come of age, how can he still be so childish!"
The ministers and ladies of the court began to talk, and everyone's faces were full of disappointment with Xiao Yuting.
"Brother, you are just jealous, jealous of Xi'er? Xi'er is so cute, Xi'er is a little fairy, she is so good, you are trying to snatch her favor..." Although Xi Xiaoyuheng is three years younger than Xiao Yuting, he is tall and big. He grabbed Xiao Yuting by the collar and scolded: "Are you crazy? Why do you want to assassinate the emperor!"
"Heng'er!" Concubine Xian scolded softly.
Xiaoyue shook her head at Concubine Xian. She wanted the child to solve this problem.
"Even you can get the father's excessive favor. To go to the southern border, you were allowed to go with your aunt. What about me? I was injured and seriously ill, and the father never came to care about me!" Xiao Yuting shouted.
"So, His Royal Highness the First Prince was attacked and seriously injured on the road, and he fell ill, all because of fighting for favor?"
"He's so old, why is he still doing such childish things?"
The ministers shook their heads one after another, and they no longer had any good feelings towards the First Prince.
Originally, some ministers had trusted him, but now they all backed off.
"Alas, so many years of my teaching have been wasted, Your Majesty, this old minister is incompetent, please punish him!" The tutor stepped forward and said.
"Old man, you get up first, don't make trouble now!" Ci Xin said, and asked Bai Yu to help the tutor up.
"Xiao Yuting, you, commit suicide!" Xiao Yin didn't want to say anything more. He was extremely disappointed, and his face was extremely cold.
"Father, you, are you really going to give up on me?" Xiao Yuting said suddenly.
