The generals knelt on the ground. Most of them admired General Yue and could not bear to see the girl from the Yue family suffer such injustice.
The Emperor saw this and closed his eyes. "The Empress is not managing the harem well. The palace has caught fire, and the heir is in danger. Moreover, he is under suspicion. He has been moved to the cold palace and cannot leave without an imperial decree."
The queen slumped on the ground, the prince clenched his fists, and his eyes were red.
The main reason why what happened today was that it was too obvious. If he had pleaded for the queen, he would definitely be blamed, but he did not plead. Some of the ministers who followed him felt that he was too ruthless and did not even care about his biological mother.
"Let's go. We'll hold a celebration banquet for the general another day." The emperor waved his hand tiredly.
The prince followed the emperor from a distance, with his head lowered, like a stray dog.
The eunuch reminded the emperor in his ear, and when the emperor knew it, he felt sorry for him and finally called the person in before entering the bedroom.
The prince burst into tears and threw himself on the emperor's lap, "Father, I am so scared. My mother has been forced into the cold palace by the generals who are guarding the country. I might be deposed as the crown prince one day."
The Emperor was overcome with emotion. The general was powerful, but it was also true that the Empress had acted recklessly today. "Do you know what happened today?"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince pretended to look at the Emperor in confusion, then helplessly grasped the Emperor's hand and said, "Father, I just want everyone to be well. We are all your children, and I am your elder brother, so naturally I will protect you all equally."
The emperor patted his head, obviously believing that he was unaware of the situation. Otherwise, that group of assassins could come and go freely in the palace. What if the prince was anxious to ascend to the throne and killed himself?
"Your mother's affairs..."
The Crown Prince retorted, "I know. It's not Father's fault. It's because the General Guarding the Nation is too powerful. The generals all obey him. Father, now that the border has been pacified, can you take advantage of the Imperial Concubine's birth to keep him in the capital with a sinecure, and then send Pei Shang, the commander of the Imperial Guards, to the border to take over?"
Although the emperor thought this was a good idea, he was suspicious of the important position of the border general and asked, "Why choose him?"
The prince said as if it was a matter of course, "Today, he and a few military officers from noble families were the only ones who did not support the general."
The emperor nodded. "Perhaps that's a solution, but defending the capital is also a top priority. I need to consider it carefully."
The emperor was already very tired, and the prince tactfully took his leave upon seeing this.
