Logically, this shouldn't have happened while the Crown Prince was under house arrest. After all, the Crown Prince couldn't leave Yuqing Palace, and the servants in Yuqing Palace had to go through numerous interrogations to get out. Apart from meals, it was difficult for anything else to be sent into Yuqing Palace from outside each day.
But if it's said that the Crown Prince misbehaved, how did this news get out?
The Crown Prince's misconduct refers to the fact that during his confinement, instead of showing remorse, he used witchcraft to curse Prince Yu, Fuquan.
Prince Yu, Fuquan, had suddenly fallen ill a few days ago. Now, with a servant in Yuqing Palace making a righteous accusation, His Majesty reprimanded the Crown Prince before ordering a search of Yuqing Palace. Although no evidence was presented, it was clear that His Majesty believed that the Crown Prince had done it.
He directly denounced the Crown Prince for being disloyal and unfilial in the Qianqing Palace.
Finally, the Imperial Household Department also found witchcraft items in the Crown Prince's study, leaving the Crown Prince with no room for argument.
The Emperor was probably furious. He didn't care that the Crown Prince was still under house arrest. After the Imperial Household Department presented the "criminal items" to him, he ordered Liang Jiugong to invite the Crown Prince to the Qianqing Palace to give a reply.
Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was gloomy. After Prince Yu, Fuquan, fell ill, it rained for several days in the capital. When the Crown Prince arrived at the Qianqing Palace in the rain with an umbrella, his calves were already starting to ache slightly.
He remained silent, and when he entered the Qianqing Palace and knelt down to pay his respects, he did not pause at all, as if he did not want His Majesty to notice that his old ailment had flared up.
The servants in the inner room had long been driven out by Liang Jiugong, and even Liang Jiugong himself did not stay in the inner room, but stood outside the screen like a wooden statue.
Occasionally, voices would drift in from inside, but Liang Jiugong didn't know if he heard them clearly. He would occasionally glance at the whisk he was holding in his arms. The snow-white whisk stood quietly, and occasionally a loud voice would come from inside, causing Liang Jiugong's eyes to flicker slightly.
After an unknown amount of time, a thud came from inside the room, a sound that was all too familiar to Liang Jiugong.
The sound of flesh falling to the ground, along with the light tapping of a calf on the ground and the sound of the jade pendant hitting the ground, all indicated what had happened inside.
Liang Jiugong loosened his grip slightly, and the whisk in his arms easily fell to the ground. Most ingeniously, the whisk fell to the ground without making the slightest sound.
Liang Jiugong seemed to sigh slightly as the whisk fell to the ground. He lowered his head and bowed slightly, his somewhat aged fingers curling up as he approached the whisk that had fallen to the ground. His fingers moved closer and closer to the whisk, but his eyes were elsewhere.
Separated by a screen, as the father and son of the imperial family confronted each other in the inner room, he silently picked up the whisk he had left behind.
Liang Jiugong stood up at some point, and the whisk was firmly held in his hand, and finally, as usual, he wrapped it in his arms.
He was also the chief eunuch of the imperial court, whom everyone respectfully addressed as "Chief Eunuch Liang."
As long as His Majesty remains in power, his position as the chief eunuch of the imperial court will not be shaken in the slightest.
However, this chief eunuch, who had served the emperor for many years, also keenly noticed some clues in this confrontation between the emperor and his son.
The world is about to change.
Summer rain is always accompanied by thunder, and no one knows who the lightning and thunder will strike.
When the Crown Prince came out of the inner room, Liang Jiugong helped him up without changing his expression, but the Crown Prince pushed him away with a flick of his sleeve: "Eunuch, go in and give your reply. Father Emperor summons you."
Liang Jiugong couldn't glean a single clue from the Crown Prince's tone.
He withdrew his hand and gestured to his disciple outside to escort the Crown Prince out.
