Jiang Zhuo sneered when he heard this, "Your Highness, please don't just pick up the shit pot and put it on others, okay?
Putting aside the fact that Princess Huayue was recuperating at home, there was absolutely no reason to torture Guard Rong Qing.
Why would the princess go to such great lengths to torture a guard? Did she have a grudge against Rong Qing?
Speaking of vengeance, Your Highness must have wanted to get rid of Shen Zhaoxun as soon as possible because he has been targeting the princess everywhere! "
He was certain that Murong Zhi would never tell anyone about the Qingshan Temple incident, because he couldn't talk about that matter openly.
"Master Xiao Jiang is wrong. Even if His Highness and the Princess have a grudge, he would never be so impulsive. It must be that the Shen family girl is bewitching."
"They're doing this openly, but they don't even realize how much they've gone too far in secret!"
"But the prince is the heir to the throne. Can't he kill his enemies with his own hands?"
"Ridiculous! All officials in the court should perform their duties, and as the crown prince, you should set an example!"
“…”
The emperor felt a headache as he listened to the noisy conversation of his courtiers.
"Alright!" The emperor cleared his throat and looked at Jiang Ling, who was standing silently beside him. "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
"Your Highness, this action is indeed unsteady. Furthermore, this incident happened on a long street, with many people watching, sparking public outrage. If this matter is not addressed or handled lightly, I'm afraid it will chill the people's hearts!"
"I second the motion!"
"I second this motion."
Only a few people in the court stood there with their heads down, not saying a word. There were also a few people who wanted to defend the prince, but they did not dare to speak again at this time.
"Father, my brother has indeed gone too far this time." Murong Yu glanced at Murong Zhi. "Even if he is certain that the princess did it, he must produce evidence and hand it over to the authorities for punishment."
The emperor remained silent, twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand continuously.
"Let me think about this matter. Murong Zhi will be confined to the East Palace for the time being."
"His Majesty……"
"Okay, I'm tired, let's adjourn the court." The emperor raised his hand and helped the young eunuch leave.
"Your Majesty, we respectfully bid you farewell."
After returning to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor threw the Buddhist beads aside and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince requests an audience."
"Um."
Murong Zhi walked in and looked at the bright yellow figure. He felt a sudden sense of grievance and knelt down.
"I am incompetent and have disappointed Father."
"Zhi'er, do you still remember what I taught you, what is a crown prince?"
"A crown prince should have a broad mind and a heart for the people. He should be able to see through worldly affairs and distinguish right from wrong.
Have a benevolent heart and influence the people with kindness, instead of being cruel and unkind and acting recklessly.
We must be tolerant, recruit talented people, and accumulate strength for the prosperity of the country.
Only in this way can one be a qualified crown prince."
"Did you do that?"
"Son, I don't have any." Murong Zhi lowered his head in shame. "Please, father, give me another chance."
The emperor turned around and looked at the dejected Murong Zhi with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Didn't I give you a chance to be calm? Did you seize it? As a ruler, you must avoid letting your emotions get in the way."
"Father...I know I was wrong."
Shen Jing's incident was a heavy blow to him, and finally made him understand a truth: in this world, the word "love" is the most useless.
"Forget it, go back to the East Palace first."
"Yes, I will take my leave. Father, please don't let your anger hurt you because of me."
After Murong Zhi left, the emperor sighed deeply. He dismissed all the servants before speaking again.
"Go, find a way to suppress the Crown Prince's matter."
After a fluctuation in the dark air, a breath of air disappeared.
After all, he was his own son, how could he be so cruel? He knew clearly that Murong Zhi was too obsessed with gain and loss. If he stripped him of his position as crown prince, it would be like taking his life.
At Wangyuexuan, Bai Runyi came to visit Chen Qing early in the morning with a bunch of things.
It was dark and gloomy outside because of the cloudy sky.
At that time, Shen Qing couldn't even open her eyes, let alone get up. Bai Runyi simply took off his clothes and got on her bed.
"Chen Qing, your bed is so comfortable!" Bai Runyi hugged Chen Qing and wrapped his legs around her. "You smell so good, hehehe..."
"Bai Runyi, could you please stop acting like a scoundrel?"
"Okay, okay, go to sleep."
The two of them slept like this for a long time.
Shen Qing woke up because she couldn't breathe. When she opened her eyes, she saw Bai Runyi had turned 90 degrees and was using her as a pillow.
"Miss, wake up."
"Let me sleep a little longer, mother..."
When I woke up, I found myself at a higher generation.
Shen Qing gently helped Bai Runyi onto the pillow, covered her with a quilt, then got up, washed, and had breakfast.
There is no sun today and the wind seems to be even colder.
Shen Qing sat in the attic, holding the stove in his hands, looking at the chess endgame in front of him, but his mind was thinking about the prince.
"Are you thinking about me, Qingqing?"
Shen Qing looked up and saw Jiang Zhuo wearing a dark red cloak, with a red ribbon tied in his hair, and holding an ordinary-looking box in his hand.
"Is your injury feeling better?"
"Nothing serious." Chen Qing smiled faintly, "You only brought a box to see me?"
"If the princess likes it, I can also package myself and present myself to her."
"I thought you were already packaged like this." Shen Qing looked Jiang Zhuo up and down.
So...beautiful.
"Haha, this is for you." Jiang Zhuo handed the box in his hand to Shen Qing.
She raised her eyebrows and took it. When she opened it, she saw that it was a plain jade hairpin with what seemed to be a hyacinth carved on the end.
"Do you like it?"
"Master Jiang carved it himself?"
"How did you tell that?"
Is it too ugly? No way, he thinks it's pretty!
"Well... I feel a strong sincerity in this hairpin." Shen Qing said with a smile.
No technique, all emotion.
Jiang Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle.
"By the way, the prince was under house arrest during the morning court session today."
"Just house arrest?" Chen Qing raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhuo.
It seems that the emperor still wants to protect the prince.
"Yes." Jiang Zhuo nodded. "After all, he was personally taught by the Emperor. If he easily deposed the Crown Prince, wouldn't that make him appear incompetent?"
Shen Qing nodded thoughtfully.
She had originally planned to have Rong Xuan stab her, but Murong Zhi had come to her on his own. If the emperor showed his favoritism in public, it would likely anger the people.
After all, personally participating in the feuds of the nobles will give the onlookers a sense of justice.
They will work hard to seek justice for her...
"But, I'm afraid Lord Jiang is busy."
"Hmm?" Jiang Zhuo was sipping his tea carefully. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he realized what she meant.
The emperor couldn't intervene openly to protect his son, so he could only use other things to suppress the prince's affairs. The most appropriate example would be the recent case of the female corpse in the broken house.
"Are you worried about me?"
