Chapter 367: All fatal questions
"Zihuan, I know you are unhappy, but your second brother..."
Emperor Yongping became extremely anxious when he thought of the information that Long Wei had found out.
But he had asked Long Wei to take action, but he failed to rescue King Ning.
The black wizard of the Red Spirit Nation is much more difficult to deal with than imagined.
And this time, he also asked the national master to calculate the fortune. The national master did not say that he could not be saved, but he said that he could not be saved openly.
As an emperor, he certainly knew the reason why he couldn't save him openly.
But who else in Sheng'an Kingdom can accomplish the task that even Long Wei cannot complete?
At this time, Emperor Yongping could only think of Chu Qinshu.
"Father, I believe you are well aware of what my second brother did, without my need to explain.
Let's not talk about his collusion with Matthew Li, just talk about what he did in the court that day. Shu'er is just young, not stupid, and she knows it as clearly as a mirror.
How do you want me to tell Shu'er? Even if Shu'er is willing, I am not willing to do this."
Chu Chengyi knew the hidden meaning of Emperor Yongping's unfinished words, but he was a man of principle.
He himself did not kill those brothers who coveted his position as crown prince because he took the teachings of the late emperor to heart.
But it’s none of his business if other people take action.
Besides, he is him and his daughter is his daughter. There is no reason for his daughter to suffer any injustice in order to maintain royal relations for him.
"Zihuan, although your second brother made mistakes, his crime does not deserve death. For the sake of his immature offspring, why don't you give him a chance?
Shu'er is still young, if she can help save her uncle the Second Emperor, it will also bring her some blessings."
Although Emperor Yongping understood Chu Chengyi's thoughts, he could not watch Prince Ning being killed by the black witches of the Chiling Kingdom.
He believes that there is no overnight hatred between brothers.
The grudge between Prince Ning and Chu Chengyi could be discussed slowly behind closed doors after Prince Ning was rescued.
"Father, Prince Ning has tried to assassinate me several times before. You must know that, right?"
Chu Chengyi had always been reluctant to mention these things in front of Emperor Yongping, but today, he had to mention it.
He was clearly aware of Long Wei's existence.
They can find out what Prince Ning did in Chiling Kingdom, and I believe they can also find out what Prince Ning did in Sheng'an Kingdom.
Of those assassination attempts on him that were apparently carried out by Prince Huai, which one could have been without Prince Ning's handiwork?
The reason why he didn't make it clear before was that he just wanted to defeat them one by one.
Prince Huai, Concubine Xian, Prince Ning, from the beginning, he had no intention of letting any of them go.
"Zi Huan, weren't those things done by your tenth brother? Why is your second brother involved now?"
Emperor Yongping frowned and seemed unaware of the situation.
But his fleeting glance showed that he was not completely unaware.
Concubine Xian and Prince Huai were indeed the masterminds of the assassinations against Chu Chengyi, but there were many times when there were traces of Prince Ning's involvement.
Although Prince Ning wiped the smear very cleanly, Long Wei was not easy to fool. If he wanted to know the truth, there was no way he could not find it.
"Father, those things are in the past, so I won't mention them. As for what happened today, just pretend you never mentioned it."
Chu Chengyi still insisted on refusing. He had long since given up any hope for Emperor Yongping.
The Queen Mother and Concubine Xian were both from the Zhang family. How different could the sons they gave birth to be in essence?
It was simply that Emperor Yongping had the Empress Dowager's support all along, and his competitors were dealt with early on.
Prince Ning and Prince Huai were not as lucky as him. Not only did their biological mothers not become queens, they themselves had no chance of becoming crown princes.
So, you have to fight for it yourself.
I think if Emperor Yongping were in the position of Prince Ning or Prince Huai, he would probably do the same thing as them, right?
"Zihuan..."
"Father, I will take my leave now."
Without giving Emperor Yongping another chance to speak, Chu Chengyi bowed, turned his wheelchair around, and walked out of the hall.
Emperor Yongping looked at the wheelchair moving farther and farther away and was stunned for a moment. How...how could it be...how could it be like this?
He thought that the request he just made was not excessive.
No matter what, Prince Ning is the prince of Sheng'an Kingdom. If we know that he has been abducted by the people of Chiling Kingdom and don't rescue him, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Sheng'an Kingdom?
Once the person is rescued, we can easily settle the account.
As the crown prince, could it be that Chu Chengyi couldn't understand such an obvious truth?
"Lin Fu, when did the prince become so stubborn?"
Emperor Yongping couldn't figure it out, so he turned to ask Lin Fu.
Lin Fu: “…”
How should he answer this question?
Is the prince being stubborn? He just made the decision he had to make.
Lin Fu didn't know how to answer, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that he heard nothing.
"Lin Fu, the prince has been in a wheelchair for a year, why hasn't he gotten better?"
Emperor Yongping did not hear Lin Fu's answer, but continued to ask.
Lin Fu: “…”
What's wrong with the prince? He just wants to remind you from time to time of the harm done to him by Prince Huai and Prince Ning.
Unfortunately, you turned a blind eye to it.
Lin Fu thought so in his heart, but still didn't say a word.
The questions that Emperor Yongping asked him were all life-threatening.
As long as he didn't answer, he would have hope of survival.
"Lin Fu, did I really do something wrong? I just don't want Prince Ning's child to be without a father."
Emperor Yongping continued to ask, but those who knew him knew that he was not asking Lin Fu, he just wanted to find recognition for his ideas.
Of course, one needs to be recognized only when one is being questioned.
Lin Fu: “…”
Just because you don't want Prince Ning's child to be fatherless, you can morally kidnap the Crown Prince?
If it weren't for the Crown Prince's great martial arts and intelligence, the children in the East Palace might have been fatherless long ago.
Lin Fu only dared to think these thoughts to himself and dared not say a single word.
"Lin Fu, tell me, how can I get Shu'er to agree to rescue her uncle, the Second Emperor?"
It seems that Emperor Yongping has not given up on letting Chu Qinshu rescue Prince Ning.
But Lin Fu was not optimistic about Emperor Yongping's idea at all.
He didn't believe that Emperor Yongping didn't understand the truth that even he, a eunuch, understood.
If he had two sons, the elder son tried to kill the younger son several times but failed, and finally attacked the younger son's child.
Even if he couldn't kill his eldest son himself, he would not let him live in good health.
After all, murder is against the law.
But if one's limbs are broken, no one will care unless there is anyone seeking justice.
"Lin Fu, Shu'er is a lucky star. She must think differently from ordinary people. She will take the initiative to save her uncle, the Second Emperor, right?"
Emperor Yongping may have felt that he was too ashamed to ask Chu Qinshu to save Prince Ning, so he had this fantasy.
Lin Fu: “…”
It is true that the little princess is blessed by a lucky star, but didn’t Master Jingkong say that lucky stars only bless those who are destined to be blessed?
Prince Ning has never liked the little princess. How could he and the little princess have any fate?
Moreover, lucky stars are lucky stars, and Bodhisattvas are Bodhisattvas.
Bodhisattvas save all living beings, but lucky stars have no such obligation.
Moreover, although the little princess is still young, she can still distinguish between gratitude and grudges.
She will be close to those who love her.
But she didn't kill the person who harmed her. Maybe there were some rules restricting her.
Why are you still thinking about letting the little princess repay evil with kindness?
"Lin Fu, go and fetch Shu'er to come to the study. I haven't seen her for a while and I miss her very much."
Emperor Yongping was not talking to himself this time.
Instead, after giving the order, he looked at Lin Fu, obviously wanting him to pick up Chu Qinshu.
