The banquet did not end because of this little episode, but Su Moyan did not attend it. The empress dowager and the emperor sat in Kunning Palace and waited for the queen to wake up. Su Moyan told them everything she had seen.
Several princes were in charge of the situation in the hall, but the ministers in the court were all very happy.
It would be good if there were several princes around, so that my daughter would have a chance to become a prince's consort.
They winked at their daughters again, saying that this was a good opportunity and they should seize it.
The ladies were also very happy and went on stage to show off their strengths.
But the princes were all preoccupied with their own affairs and had no mood to watch them sing and dance.
After staying together until the banquet was over, the brothers all ran to Kunning Palace.
The queen also woke up and was crying in the emperor's arms.
"Your Majesty, I am no longer clean and unworthy of you, wuwuwu...!"
"Xian'er, don't cry. You are innocent. Nothing has happened. Really. Believe me."
"Really?"
The queen's eyes were red.
"Mother, it's true. That bastard had just entered when I stepped in right after him. Before he even reached the bed, I kicked him hard and he was knocked unconscious."
System: "Master, you are lying. You have taken off all your clothes except your underwear."
Su Moyan cursed in her heart, "Shut up."
I asked you to keep an eye on Prince Jing, what have you been doing?
The system slowly stopped talking.
Didn't you ask them to keep an eye on Baili Yuan? How would they know you were talking about Prince Jing?
Su Moyan: Oh my god! You're a perverted system that's just trying to go against me, right? You don't even understand what I'm saying.
The Queen Mother did not expect Prince Jing to do such a thing.
It just so happened that the Emperor took advantage of this incident to tell the Empress Dowager everything about Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Qiu'er, you mean! He wants to kill you! But why would he do that? He never showed that he wanted this position!"
"Father, Grandmother, Prince Jing did all this not for the throne, but for something else?"
What else could he be after if not the throne? Is there anything more important or attractive to him than the throne?
Su Moyan was impatient and didn't want to find any evidence.
"Wouldn't it be possible to make him confess everything if we arrested and tortured him?"
The emperor is in a dilemma.
"Well, I am the Son of Heaven. I must have real evidence to convince the people. Otherwise, the common people will definitely poke me in the back."
"Isn't it easy to fabricate evidence? As long as Father throws out the evidence, they won't be able to question it."
As the emperor, he must act decisively and would rather kill someone innocently than let him go.
A few days later, the emperor was assassinated and his life or death was unknown, but the assassin was caught on the spot. Unexpectedly, the assassin was Prince Jing!
When the news spread, everyone was shocked. How could it be Prince Jing?
Then all that Prince Jing had done over the years were made public, including the assassination of the emperor and empress, the plot against the prince, the poisoning of court ministers, corruption and abuse of power.
Prince Jing looked at the emperor in front of him with an arrogant look on his face.
"Hahaha... If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. Is your Royal Brother finally going to take action against me?"
"As I watched my brothers fall one by one under your sword, I thought of this day, but I never expected it to come so soon."
The emperor said indifferently:
"Don't make yourself sound so pitiful and innocent. You know whether you did it or not.
"But I don't understand why you would do this? I have always treated you like my own brother and saved you from danger many times. I thought you treated me the same way."
"You know what? When I found out the assassin came from Prince Jing's Mansion, I couldn't believe you would do that! You really wanted to kill me!"
Prince Jing turned around, looking like he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
When Princess Jing saw that the emperor was about to leave, she hurriedly lay down beside the prison door.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the sake of our past friendship. I know nothing about what Prince Jing has done! I am innocent."
The emperor ignored her and went straight back to the palace.
"Your Majesty, has Prince Jing confessed? Why on earth did he do this?"
"No."
Su Moyan also specifically asked about their childhood.
It turns out that my father, the Queen Mother, and Prince Jing and his wife had a very good relationship when they were young, and Prince Jing's wife was also a close friend of my mother.
"Father, have you ever considered that all Prince Jing did was out of love?"
"Love? What love?"
Uh… not sure?
The queen seemed to have thought of something and her face turned pale.
"That young man, Prince Jing, did confess his love to me, but I rejected him and told him clearly that my heart was with Qianqiu. He smiled and said that he was just joking with me."
"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
The emperor thought about it and felt that this was very possible. His Xian'er was gentle and beautiful, and had many suitors since she was a child. If he had not decided on her early, she might have been snatched away by someone else.
Back to the cell again, I looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed.
"You did all this for Xian'er?"
Prince Jing finally opened his eyes.
"Huh? You know all this."
She stared at him with resentment and unwillingness.
"I knew her first, why did you steal her attention as soon as you came?"
"You're already the crown prince, maybe even the emperor, but why do you still want to compete with me for my beloved woman? From childhood to adulthood, I've never competed with you for anything, and I've always given in to you. But how can I give up my beloved woman so easily?"
"If I can't have her, then you can forget about staying with her forever...!!"
"So if you can't have her, you're going to kill her?"
