"It's true, mother, please don't disbelieve it."
The prince suddenly became anxious. He sat up and said, "The emperor has been taking extra care of me these past few days. At first, I thought the emperor finally cared about me, his adopted son. But gradually, I noticed something was amiss."
"He accompanies me back home almost every day. Not only does he bring me food, he also brings me clothes and jewelry."
"Those clothes, jewelry, gold, silver, and jade are obviously things that only women would like, but the emperor gave them to me."
"Also, the way the Emperor looks at me isn't right."
"Isn't this because he's attracted to me?"
"I've been terrified these past few days, trying my best to pretend I didn't understand the Emperor's hints. Even when I came to the East Palace, I immediately found an excuse to avoid the Emperor and let Jiang Yi accompany him."
"I secretly think that Jiang Yi is beautiful. It would be great if the emperor could pay attention to Jiang Yi as much as he pays attention to me."
"After all, I don't want to be oppressed by a man!"
The prince vowed.
Princess Cheng still found this impossible.
"Even if you're both men, you're the Emperor's nephew. How could he have such thoughts about you? And why would he have such thoughts about you now if he didn't have any before?"
"Don't be hysterical."
The prince argued, "Who said it wouldn't happen? It's said that the emperor doesn't like women. Over the years, the emperor has only had a few concubines in his harem. Because none of the concubines got pregnant, the emperor simply gave up and adopted me as his heir. After that, he never set foot in the harem again."
"It's said that the Emperor doesn't value lust and puts all his energy into governing the court. How could it be that the Emperor doesn't dislike daughters, but prefers men?"
"After all, there are many men in this world who have a tendency to have affairs with men. Let's not talk about those far away, let's talk about those close to us. My mother's nephew, cousin He, is a normal man in public. He spends his days at the brothels, but secretly, he's begging men to have sex with him."
Hearing the Crown Prince talk about He Ming, Princess Cheng could no longer tolerate it and roared, "That's all a misunderstanding. Your cousin is not that kind of person."
The He family has been criticized recently because of the siblings He Ming and He Yu. Princess Cheng is often asked about He Ming when she is outside. She didn't expect that her own son would bring this up.
It's because of the He family that she feels she is not shameful enough.
The prince shut up awkwardly, "Let's not talk about my cousin, let's talk about my son. My son is fair-skinned, the emperor might..."
Princess Cheng also began to ponder. The emperor has indeed been paying extraordinary attention to her son recently.
Not to mention sending food, what is the meaning of sending women's clothes and jewelry?
Is this a hint to his son...
Princess Cheng also began to feel dazed.
"How about this, tomorrow you put on the clothes the emperor gave you and test the emperor's intentions."
The prince was stunned.
"Mother, are you asking your son to marry the Emperor?"
Princess Cheng coughed and said, "If that's the case, it's not impossible to do it once or twice."
"The Emperor is handsome and graceful. If you follow him, you can keep your position as Crown Prince. You won't lose out."
She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild again.
It would be great if the emperor was interested in her.
Prince Cheng was a big and strong man. If he had not been raised by the queen and had a very good relationship with the emperor who was still the crown prince at the time, she would never have married Prince Cheng.
If she were eight or nine years younger, it would not be her sister who married the emperor, but her.
Thinking of this, Princess Cheng felt a little jealous of the Queen.
The prince was somewhat reluctant when he heard this, "Mother, are you going to sell your son out now?"
"How can I sell you out? The Emperor is thirty years old this year, and he won't have more than twenty years left. Besides, it won't be long before he gets tired of you. But we have this leverage over him, so even if you do something wrong in the future, he won't dare to depose you easily."
"And if you keep your position as crown prince, you can have any woman you want in the future. There will be many beauties like Jiang Yi to serve you."
The prince couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.
Princess Cheng dared to say it, and the prince dared to do it. The next day, the prince put on women's clothes and sneaked into the palace.
Then he was thrown out by the emperor. At that time, the queen came to see the emperor for something. When she saw the prince, she did not recognize him and thought he was a concubine who wanted to compete for favor.
The queen had the prince dragged away and beaten with a stick.
The prince was afraid of being embarrassed and dared not say a word, thinking that he could just endure it and it would pass. However, he could not bear it after only ten strokes of the board.
He said he was the prince, but the executioner was not a fool.
Would the prince dress like this to seduce the emperor?
The prince was beaten with thirty boards and fainted.
The Empress even joked about this to the Emperor, saying, "The people in the palace are becoming more and more unruly. They know you hate this kind of thing, but they still do it anyway."
The emperor hummed, and when he heard no more noise outside, he raised his eyes and said to the queen, "Queen, do you want to go see who that person was?"
"Who is it?"
The queen had a bad feeling, so she went to check. The prince had never suffered such pain since he was a child. He was beaten unconscious by thirty boards.
The skin and flesh were rolled around, and the blood and flesh were tangled together. How could the word "miserable" describe it?
The queen hurriedly asked someone to call the imperial physician. When applying medicine, the prince couldn't help but scream in pain like a pig being slaughtered, and there was a chaos.
At this moment, the East Palace was not peaceful either.
Princess Cheng woke up early in the morning and started planning to plot against Jiang Yi. She felt that this matter should be done as soon as possible. The easiest crime to get Jiang Yi deposed from the position of Crown Princess was "murdering the royal heir."
