"How dare you! These two rebellious sons are worse than beasts. Heaven cannot tolerate this."
Emperor Song smashed everything he could in Longchen Palace, but he was still filled with anger.
"Come here, give the Third Prince thirty lashes. If the news gets out again, say I'm going to kill him."
In the evening, the news quickly spread throughout the harem. When the queen heard about it, she was secretly delighted, thinking that this was a godsend opportunity to get rid of the third prince.
She immediately ordered people to prepare poisoned wine, intending to take advantage of the Third Prince's injury and find an opportunity to poison him to death without anyone noticing.
When Concubine Qing learned in the cold palace that her son had been beaten with a stick and was going to be killed, she was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
She completely disregarded her status and secretly escaped from the cold palace, sneaking into the place where the third prince was punished under the cover of night. At this time, the third prince had been beaten to pieces, and Concubine Qing was heartbroken.
Just as Concubine Qing was holding the Third Prince and crying, the person sent by the Queen to poison him arrived. Just as the person was about to act, the Fourth Prince, who had been secretly protecting the Third Prince, appeared.
As soon as they saw the Fourth Prince, the Queen's men knew their plan was going to fail and were about to slip away.
When the Third Prince saw the Fourth Prince, he ignored the severe pain in his body and stood up, pushing the Fourth Prince like an old cow protecting its calf.
"Come on, what are you doing here?"
At this time, the Song Emperor's Royal Guards surrounded the house like a solid wall. Zhan Jue walked in like an iceberg, his face as gloomy as water, and he said expressionlessly:
"Your Highnesses, the Emperor invites you. Please follow me." A eunuch hurried over and bowed to the two princes.
Later, Zhan Jue brought everyone in the room to Emperor Song.
Emperor Song sat high on the dragon throne, his face terribly gloomy, his eyes fixed on the people in front of him, as if he wanted to see through them.
"Empress, please tell me what is going on." The Emperor of Song's voice was low and majestic, with a hint of anger.
The queen was so frightened that her whole body trembled, her face instantly turning as pale as paper. She fell to her knees and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I... I just want to eliminate the hidden danger for you, and I have no other intentions."
Emperor Song snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with the Queen's explanation. His eyes widened in anger as he shouted, "You are seeking revenge for your own personal gain!"
Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I believe that my Third Brother has been poisoned and has gone astray. I beg Your Majesty to show some mercy."
Emperor Song was silent for a moment, his brow furrowed tightly. He slowly spoke, "Noble Concubine Qing, you have committed a heinous crime. Not only did you dare to escape from the cold palace, you are simply lawless! Madam Siya, go and slap me in the face so that she can no longer speak!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress was terrified. Emperor Song turned his gaze to her and said coldly, "Empress, you have such a vicious mind that I cannot tolerate it. From today on, you will be confined to Fengyi Palace for six months. Reflect on your mistakes!"
After saying this, Emperor Song suddenly raised a devilish smile. His eyes slowly swept over the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
