Xuan Yu immediately said, "Father, it was Wan Ge who wanted to annul the engagement. This matter has nothing to do with me. Please, Father, understand."
"Don't you know why Wan Ge broke off the engagement? Xuan Yu, I think you're unrepentant!"
"I am not, please, Father Emperor, see the truth!"
"Fine, since you won't admit it, then don't blame me for being impolite." At this moment, the emperor directly summoned his personal guards and ordered them to tell him everything they had seen, heard, and knew.
When General Jian heard the Third Prince threaten his daughter to break off the engagement after he thought he had fallen on hard times, he was so angry that he almost wanted to slap the prince to death.
When General Jian heard that he was treating his daughter badly and had a terrible attitude towards her, he felt both heartbroken and saddened. He was locked up inside and knew nothing, while his precious daughter was suffering outside.
"You bastard!" General Jian finally couldn't hold back and kicked the other man.
Just as he was about to add another kick, the Crown Prince stopped him, saying, "General, don't be angry. Let's hear what Father Emperor has to say."
General Jian was furious, but the Crown Prince's words calmed him down a bit. He took deep breaths and decided to listen to what the Emperor planned to do.
Xuan Yu's expression changed upon hearing this. These were all true. It turned out that his father really suspected him. He had said that she was in such a hurry to break off the engagement that his father must think that he no longer wanted Wan Ge after the general fell from grace.
Unfortunately, it wasn't stopped at the time, which has led to the current situation.
He should have been more decisive in stopping it, instead of hesitating and doing nothing. Otherwise, his father would never have suspected him.
Seeing that the other party was completely unable to refute, the emperor continued, "Besides this charge, do you have anything else you want to say?"
After all, he was his own son. Although he no longer intended for him to continue living such a glamorous life, he still wanted to protect his reputation to some extent. As long as he was willing to speak for himself, he could make others hear a more positive version of his story.
Xuan Yu immediately shook his head: "I was wrong. I saw the General's Mansion in decline and felt that Wan Ge was not good enough for me, so I made her break off the engagement herself. I was wrong. I will go and ask Wan Ge for forgiveness in a moment."
"You think you're worthy of Wan Ge's forgiveness? What a piece of trash." The emperor sneered, then continued, "Besides annulmenting the engagement, haven't you also harmed your own siblings?"
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Xuan Yu was shocked and looked at Xuan Yi with disbelief: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't tell Father Emperor as long as I agreed? You lied to me!"
He lied to him! How dare he lie to him! He actually lied to him!
"You scoundrel, do I really need Xiao Yi to tell me all this? Do you really think I'm confused? Or blind? Do you think I wouldn't even investigate after the Crown Prince was assassinated?" Does he think too little of me? No matter what, I am the emperor, and a wise ruler at that. If I don't even know these things, then I might as well not be the emperor.
Xuan Yu was startled and felt a little scared for a moment, but he immediately said, "Father, I dare not do it again. There will never be a next time."
The emperor was so angry at his words that he laughed. Could this be resolved next time?
Xuan Yu seemed to know that he was doomed, and immediately said, "Father, your son knows many things!"
