Chapter 24 The prince is so decisive

Seeing Pei Chuyan testifying against her, the Sixth Princess Lu Xinghui retorted at the top of her lungs: "Don't slander me here. You are just a minister. It was your father who saw that both your parents had passed away and felt sorry for you..."

The Sixth Princess was interrupted by the Crown Prince when she reached this point: "Xing Hui!"

The prince has always been the gentlest one. Lu Xinghui had never seen a prince who spoke harshly, so he was stunned for the moment.

The prince still kept a straight face and said, "Watch your words."

Even the Second Prince couldn't help but look at the Crown Prince. Everyone knew that the Crown Prince had the kindest temperament, but he lacked the ruthlessness that an emperor should have.

He had never seen such a prince before.

Perhaps, I underestimated the prince.

"Brother Crown Prince," the Sixth Princess came back to her senses and looked at the Crown Prince sobbingly, "No matter what, he can't carry me all the way. I am my father's daughter!"

Pei Chuyan, who had been silent the whole time, spoke calmly: "May I ask, Sixth Princess, what crime is it to murder your own sister?"

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but look at Pei Chuyan.

[This Sixth Princess is really too much. Duke Anguo sacrificed his life for the country, yet she dares to treat Pei Chuyan like this.]

[She actually dared to poison me. As expected, like dragons give birth to dragons, like phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. A mouse's son knows how to dig holes. She didn't learn good things, but she also learned the dirty tricks her mother knew.]

[Hmph, when I grow up, I will whip you, a little brat. ]

Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help but look at the baby in the cradle. The baby was only three months old, but he had to be whipped. She thought that she would have to fight a lawsuit when she grew up.

But his thoughts were pulled back by the Sixth Princess.

"Don't slander me here. Don't think that just because the Empress Dowager loves you, you can do whatever you want in this palace. What grounds do you have to say that I was the one who poisoned Lu Xingwan?"

Pei Chuyan only glared at the Sixth Princess and said, "I think if the Sixth Princess admits her mistake now, the punishment she will receive will be lighter when the matter is really exposed later."

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince walked up to the Sixth Princess, squatted down and looked at her: "Xing Hui, if it was really you who did it, you must not hide it. Father has always taught us to be honest."

The second prince also spoke up: "Xinghui, tell the truth to the crown prince and the second brother."

They naturally knew that Lu Xinghui had always been a naughty and domineering person, but they just didn't believe that she would poison her own sister.

At this time, Pei Chuyan took out a small box from behind and handed it to Jinyu beside Concubine Chen Guifei: "This was found in the Sixth Princess's palace."

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but twitch his face.

[Isn't this Prince Pei really too brave? He dragged the princess around the palace and even searched her palace? ]

[I really don't know whether it was a wise choice for the Empress Dowager to arrange Pei Chuyan to be my bodyguard.]

Concubine Chen Guifei took the medicine from Jinyu and just as she opened it, she suddenly realized something and ordered, "Jinyu, ask someone to invite Doctor Zhao and Concubine Ning."

The Sixth Princess' defense suddenly broke down.

burst into tears.

This actually scared the baby Lu Xingwan in his cradle.

"A palace maid gave me this thing, saying it could make Yong'an uncomfortable for days. My mother was scolded by my father because of Yong'an. If it weren't for Yong'an, my mother would still be by my side..."

As she said this, she was already crying and gasping for breath.

"I didn't mean to hurt her, I just wanted to make her feel bad for a few days."

Then he rushed to the prince and said, "Brother Prince, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean any harm."

The Sixth Princess was only a five-year-old child. After being frightened like this, she revealed the truth in just a few words.

Lu Xingwan was stunned.

[How can there be such a shameless person? It was Cui who wanted to harm me and my mother, but in your mouth, it became me who harmed Cui.]

[I'm giving you a little maid. I'm afraid you must have painstakingly collected it. ]

[I have lived for hundreds of years. You can fool these kids with your little tricks, but you are fooling me? Humph]

The prince got the point: "Which concubine is this?"

The Sixth Princess looked up at the Crown Prince with tears in her eyes: "I don't know."

Pei Chuyan didn't buy it, and snorted coldly: "If I gave the Sixth Princess arsenic and just said it was sugar, would you eat it?"

"You don't even know what that thing is, yet you dare to use it on Princess Yong'an. What if it really kills her? And you dare to say you have no ill intentions."

Seeing Pei Chuyan's unreasonable attitude, the Sixth Princess became furious, but she couldn't say anything to refute him.

For a moment, the situation was deadlocked.

Now that the facts are before us, whether intentionally or not, and for what reason, the Sixth Princess did poison Princess Yong'an.

And it was certainly wrong for Pei Chuyan to treat the princess in this way.

However, one of these two people is the biological daughter of the Emperor of Great Chu, and the other is a young prince raised by the Queen Mother. Concubine Chen doesn't know how to deal with them.

"Xinghui, no matter what, Ninth Sister was poisoned because of you. Now my father is busy with many things and has no time to take care of the harem. You should stay in the palace for three days, copy the Heart Sutra ten times, and burn it in Yanhua Palace. This is considered as praying for Ninth Sister."

"As for how to deal with you in the future, we still have to wait for the emperor's decision."

The Sixth Princess had never expected that the usually gentle Crown Prince would be so stern, and she immediately begged, "Crown Prince..."

But before she could finish, the prince stopped her and ordered the servant beside him: "Zhongping, send the Sixth Princess back to the palace."

[Is this really the character of the prince? Didn't the storybook say that he is kind but cowardly, and the most unsuitable person for the throne?]

[But from this perspective, being moderate in rewarding and punishing and acting decisively is clearly the appearance of an emperor. ]

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but look at the second prince again. According to the storyline, he was the final emperor.

Now the Second Prince was also looking at the Crown Prince, his face full of surprise.

[It seems that the Second Prince was also shocked by what the Crown Prince did today. ]

"As for Prince Pei, you were originally someone close to the Empress Dowager, so I have to ask the Empress Dowager before I can deal with you." After saying this, the prince bowed to Concubine Chen Gui, "Please ask Empress Chen to take care of you first."

Concubine Chen was very pleased to see the prince like this, so she nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, the Emperor of Great Chu sent someone to invite the Queen Mother to Yu's study, and sent Zhu Gushan to bring Prince Rong.

The incident between Prince Rong and Prince Ning had caused a lot of uproar, so how could the Queen Mother not know about it? At this juncture, the Emperor of Great Chu invited her to the Yu Study, which must be related to this matter, so she quickly packed up and went to the Yu Study.

When the Queen Mother arrived, Prince Rong had already been brought here.

Although the Emperor of Great Chu ordered that Prince Rong should not be tortured, it was still a prison after all. How could it be compared with Prince Rong's palace? Within a day, Prince Rong had already become very corrupt.

The Emperor of Chu didn't even want to listen to him, so he ordered someone to stuff a piece of cloth into his mouth.

Now he was tied up and kneeling on the ground with a gloomy look on his face.
