This is no excuse for their idleness, but now is not the time to teach them a lesson. The Crown Prince said, “You all go out first. I have something to say to my father and mother.”
"Why are you even more domineering than before?"
Prince Ning muttered to himself, "He's trying to steal my mother right from the start."
The Emperor and Empress both wanted to know why the Crown Prince had suddenly returned, so they ordered the two children to leave.
In fact, they had already realized that they had made a mistake in raising the two princes, and the crown prince's words just now had made them somewhat embarrassed.
After only three people remained in the room, the Crown Prince knelt down again and said frankly, "Your subject did not commit regicide back then. It was Kang Le who sent assassins to disguise themselves as your subject and shoot arrows at Father Emperor."
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "This is a letter between Kang Le and Wen Cheng, the former director of the Imperial Observatory, who conspired together."
It was evidence he obtained from the Grand Princess.
The emperor took the paper, and it was indeed written in Kang Le's handwriting.
Judging from the contents of the letter, just as they guessed, Wencheng deliberately reported the foggy day as a sunny day in order to cooperate with Kang Le in setting up a trap using the fog.
"What a wonderful Kang Le, what a wonderful Wencheng."
The emperor slammed the letter on the table, then, as if remembering something, softened his expression. "I misunderstood you."

The Empress burst into tears, "I'm sorry, the assassin impersonated you and tried to kill your father."
Then you appeared again, holding a bow and arrow, and just so coincidentally, you were pointing it at your father. Your mother was terrified.
Your mother didn't really mean to hurt you. She was worried that you would do something irreversible, so she wanted to shoot the bow and arrow out of your hand.
But I never expected my archery skills to be so poor, and I shot you in the heart. It's all my fault, Mother's fault.
The Emperor and Empress had no doubts and believed him directly, which was within the Crown Prince's expectations; otherwise, he would not have shown himself so easily.
"At the time, I was chasing prey when fog began to rise. I drew my bow for self-defense."
Unexpectedly, just as the emperor was being assassinated and a group of people were protecting him, he appeared before them with an arrow raised.
It is indeed a misunderstanding.
It can only be said that Kang Le's plan back then was indeed precise, and there was also the Grand Princess. The Crown Prince then said, "It's not that the Empress Dowager's skills are lacking, but that the Grand Princess's people used internal force to activate the Empress Dowager's arrow."
At the time, the fog was thick, and they were all worried about the emperor's safety, so no one noticed.
"Furthermore, the head of the guards at Fengyi Palace is also one of Kang Le's men, or more accurately, someone Kang Le planted by the Empress Dowager's side."
Whether it was the head of the guards or Kang Le, they had deliberately done it to gain the Empress Dowager's trust when they saved her..."
