1829 Disappointment, Can't Wait for Ten Years...

Thinking of his son's situation, Prince Duan was grief-stricken, but also a bit more ruthless and decisive. Prince Duan knelt down with a thud:

"Your Majesty, I am incapable of protecting my son. But no matter how incompetent I am, I will not allow others to bully my son without fighting back. I will make this clear today. The hatred of hurting my son is irreconcilable. If I don't avenge this, I will not be worthy of being a father. Not to mention demolishing a princess's mansion, even the officials in Yama Palace dare to demolish it!"

A murderous voice echoed in the palace. The emperor was shocked and opened his mouth to say something, but facing Prince Shangduan's sad and angry eyes, he could not utter a word of rebuke.

The emperor sighed softly, "Fifth brother, I am also very sad about Rui'er's matter. It has already happened. No matter how much you do, it cannot change the fact that Rui'er has been in trouble. You are so reckless and causing trouble everywhere, which will only make your relatives sad and your enemies happy."

"Your Majesty..." Prince Duan couldn't believe what he heard. He looked at the emperor in shock. The emperor's face darkened: "Why, you don't want to listen to me?"

"I dare not. I... obey your command." Prince Duan lowered his head and spoke each word heavily and sadly.

Things have already happened, his son has been ruined, so he has to accept his fate, there is no need for him to avenge his son.

Hahahaha...it's so funny, the funniest joke in the world.

If the emperor's throne was seized by someone, could he also say to the emperor: Brother, things have already happened, you should accept your fate and stop thinking about regaining the throne, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by others?

Brother Huang, will you accept it?

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you, my dear brother, you understand, right?

Prince Duan took deep breaths, suppressing the grief and disappointment in his heart, and kept telling himself that the man in front of him was his brother, the emperor to whom he swore allegiance. He could not be disrespectful to the emperor and could not question the emperor's decision.

But...the psychological hints that have always been useful were of no use at all this time.

He hates it so much!

Ahem... The emperor seemed to realize that what he said was a little inappropriate, and added: "Fifth brother, I know you are worried about Rui'er, but this matter still needs to be investigated. Third sister is Rui'er's aunt, she would never do anything to Rui'er, you were too impulsive in this matter. Third sister didn't know about Feng Qingchen's move into the princess's mansion."

Prince Duan was extremely disappointed, and it had always been like this since he was a child. Every time he had an argument with the eldest princess, no matter if he was right or wrong, his father would always blame him for the mistake, and now his brother was doing the same.

Prince Duan looked at the emperor deeply, not hiding the sadness and disappointment in his eyes: "Royal brother...I call you Royal brother just to tell you that although I am a Wufu, I am not a fool."

Prince Duan choked up and said tearfully, "On the day Feng Qingchen entered the city, an assassination occurred at the city gate. Feng Qingchen left early, and the Jinyiwei did not catch her, but the Jinyiwei took her guards into prison. Feng Qingchen spent a lot of money on the Jinyiwei that day. My brother, you have to tell me, with such a big thing happening, how could you and the princess not know that Feng Qingchen had entered the city?"

"Fifth brother..." The emperor looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Although I know about Feng Qingchen's entry into the city, I don't know about Rui'er's situation."

"Royal brother, you don't know, but I believe you. But what about the eldest princess? Would she not know? Wasn't she the one who called in the Royal Guards to arrest people? Royal brother, I know that you and father have doted on her since she was a child, and I am not envious or jealous, but in this matter, are you going to side with her? Others may not recognize Rui'er, but she is Rui'er's biological aunt, so how could she not recognize Rui'er?"

Prince Duan paused for a moment, and seeing that the emperor wanted to say something, he spoke again and interrupted the emperor: "Brother, don't tell me that the princess didn't see Rui'er. Rui'er was shocked, and he was stupid and his hands were useless. Now, except Feng Qingchen, he won't let anyone get close to him. Feng Qingchen hugs him wherever he goes. Unless he has no eyes, he will definitely not miss my Rui'er."

Prince Duan kept calling the princess the eldest, thus completely drawing a line between himself and the princess.

"Fifth brother, Third sister was indeed wrong in this matter, but Rui'er's injury really has nothing to do with her. Rui'er is Third sister's nephew. How could Third sister hurt Rui'er?" The emperor said earnestly, but was met with a mocking laugh from Prince Duan.

"Hahaha... Brother, are you kidding me?" Prince Duan didn't take the emperor seriously at all and stood up. "The eldest princess can even kill her own son, will she be soft on my Rui'er? She didn't even let her own son go. What else can a person like her do?"

"Fifth brother, Third Sister is not that kind of person. How sad she would be to hear you slandering her like this." The Emperor frowned, looking displeased. Prince Duan had expected this to happen, and his heart grew even sadder.

He just couldn't understand what was so good about that lowly woman, why his father and his brother treated her like a treasure, and why they all thought she was kind, beautiful and generous.

Forget it, forget it… He originally didn’t want to get involved in the struggle for the throne, but the current situation forced him to make a choice.

My dear brother, don't blame me. Blame yourself.

Prince Duan looked at the emperor deeply, then put away all his sorrow and knelt down expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please punish me."

The emperor didn't know that when Prince Duan said this, he was extremely disappointed in him and was extremely angry. The emperor just thought that Prince Duan had figured it out, and a smile appeared on his face: "That's right. Although we were born in the royal family, we are brother and sister. There is no overnight hatred between siblings. In this matter... Third sister is also wrong. I will not pursue your fault. Later, you can release Third sister's son and everyone you have from her house. Forget about the rest. Third sister will not hold it against you."

"I obey your order." Prince Duan used up all his strength to say these three words.

He didn't know how he got out of this situation. He only knew that his brother was becoming more and more incompetent. He was being fooled around by a vicious woman.

Hahahaha...How sad, how pitiful.

Prince Duan laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

Before he entered the palace, he vowed that he would never take sides and would only be loyal to the emperor. However, his good brother pushed him away, and his loyalty was just a joke.

"Isn't this Prince Duan? What's wrong? Have you become complacent after being praised by the Emperor?" The eldest princess learned that Prince Duan had come out, and deliberately waited here. Seeing Prince Duan was heartbroken, the eldest princess smiled brilliantly, with her charming eyes flashing with pride.

When Prince Duan found someone approaching, he put away his emotions, turned around and looked at the princess coldly: "Xiao San'er, you are too happy too early. This prince has never been a gentleman, and I have never followed the gentleman's way of revenge, which is never too late after ten years. This prince will take revenge soon."

"What? Prince Duan, are you planning to disobey the emperor's order? Aren't you afraid that the emperor brother will order you to be killed?" The eldest princess's face was full of smiles, innocent and friendly. It was hard to imagine how the owner of this smile could say such harsh words...
