Chapter 241: One Link After Another
Queen Qin asked, "Are you sure that the person who spread the rumors was really the Fourth Prince?"
Pearl answered truthfully, "The Emperor first found out about the eldest prince, who then implicated the fourth prince, who was punished to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for a month. Based on the current evidence, the instigator was indeed the fourth prince."
"What about the prince? Has there been any movement recently?"
"The Crown Prince has been recuperating in the East Palace recently, and occasionally receives the young prince, the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, the Minister of Justice, and others."
The person Queen Qin suspected the most was actually the crown prince.
But it is true that the prince has been ill for a long time and this cannot be faked.
It is also true that the Fourth Prince and the First Prince spread rumors, and there is solid evidence from witnesses and physical evidence.
Queen Qin thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out.
She simply stood up and said, "I want to go to the East Palace to see the prince."
Zhenzhu helped her get on the phoenix chariot and headed straight for the East Palace.
The prince has recovered today and is currently discussing matters with the Minister of Justice Dong Mingchun.
Upon learning that the queen had arrived, the prince and Dong Mingchun went out to greet her.
Queen Qin entered the Mingguang Palace. Seeing that the prince had regained his normal complexion, she asked calmly, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Luo Qinghan replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, mother. I am not feeling unwell."
"It seems that you have really recovered. That Taoist Tianyi really has some skills."
Luo Qinghan: "Thanks to my father and mother for inviting Taoist Tianyi, I was able to recover. Everything is thanks to my father and mother."
Queen Qin waved her hand, and Dong Mingchun and the palace maids and eunuchs all tactfully retreated.
Only Queen Qin and the Crown Prince were left in the room.
Queen Qin looked at the prince in front of her coldly and asked in a deep voice, "You were the one who planned all this in secret, right?"
Luo Qinghan frowned slightly: "Why do you say that, mother? I don't understand what you mean."
"Do you really not understand? Or are you pretending not to understand?"
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes: "This son really doesn't understand, please explain it to me, mother."
Queen Qin's eyes became colder and colder. "You pretended to be sick, used the eldest and fourth princes to spread rumors, fainted at the banquet, bribed the Imperial Observatory and Taoist Tianyi... These things are linked together. You are really calculating."
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I have never done the things you said. I am really ill. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital can testify to this."
Queen Qin sneered: "Do you think I really can't find any clues? I don't want to investigate it thoroughly because I want to give you a chance to think clearly about which side you are on. I raised you with my own hands, not for you to bite back!"
Luo Qinghan did not continue to defend himself, but laughed at himself.
"It seems that the Queen Mother has already determined that all of this was done by me. It turns out that in the Queen Mother's heart, I am such a mean person who will do anything to achieve his goals."
Queen Qin pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
Luo Qinghan's face remained expressionless, but his voice was trembling slightly.
"I was raised by my mother herself. In my heart, my mother is the closest person to me in this world. I gave you all my passion, but you are unwilling to give me even the slightest trust.
If you believe that all this was done by me, then I will admit it. You can do whatever you want to me, and I will never complain."
After saying that, Luo Qinghan knelt down.
Even while kneeling, his posture remained as straight as a pine tree, rather breaking than bending, and his black eyes were full of determination.
Luo Qinghan: A prince who doesn't want to be an award-winning actor is not a good male lead. ^_^
