Pei Zhen was stunned and lay on the ground for a long time without reacting.

Xu Muhua said that he understood her feelings at the moment.

Pei Zhen obviously didn't expect that he would become a discarded pawn!

It was obvious that the King Qin knew that the situation was out of control, and in order to avoid being implicated, he immediately pulled her out as a shield! There was really no hesitation at all!

Or maybe the King had already made the plan, but Pei Zhen didn't know it.

Pei Zhen really didn't expect that King Qin would push her out as a shield without any hesitation. She hadn't even recovered from the incident, but he had already thought of the next step and treated her as a discarded pawn.

"Prince Qin, do you mean that all this was done by this concubine in your house?"

Prince Qin knelt down heavily, "Father, it's all my fault! Ever since this woman got pregnant, I've been so happy and I've been doting on her. After she got pregnant, she kept complaining in my ear, saying that she was young and ignorant before, and had some conflicts with the Crown Princess, and she wanted to resolve them sincerely."

"I think this is a good thing. She and the Crown Princess are sisters. Master Pei is old and often worries about the two sisters. If we can really resolve the misunderstanding and resolve the conflict, everyone will be happy."

"That's why I advised her to go to the Eastern Palace more often and get along well with the Crown Princess. I didn't expect that she actually had such thoughts! It's all my fault that when I heard the servants say that something happened to the baby in her belly, I lost my mind and didn't think seriously, which led to so many misunderstandings. I thought it was really the Eastern Palace..."

Prince Qin kowtowed and said, "It's all my fault. Please punish me, father!"

very good!

Xu Muhua really wanted to applaud the king.

Look at his reaction, how quick!

He pushed all the responsibility away, showing his innocence, but also looked like he was willing to take responsibility. This tone of regret, this feeling of annoyance, was so sincere! It made people want to go up to him and help him up, and then say that it was not his fault.

"Pei, what else do you have to say!"

Pei Zhen had collapsed to the ground at this time, his expression dazed.

What else does she have to say? What else can she say?

No matter how stupid she was, she understood it now.

Her husband, Qin Wang, had planned it all out long ago. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy. If it failed, she would be the scapegoat!

Even if she tells the truth now, will the emperor give her a chance to speak?

"Hahaha..." She suddenly burst into laughter uncontrollably.

The emperor's face turned livid and he ordered, "Drag Pei away!"

Pei Zhen did not resist. After laughing, he looked like a lost soul. Someone pinched his arm and half supported and half dragged him out.

"Prince, Princess, how do you want this matter handled?"

Before Zhao Chengye and Pei Shaorong spoke, Xu Muhua couldn't help but muttered quietly: "Why are you still asking us how to deal with things? Just deal with it as it should be dealt with!"

The emperor felt that the anger in his heart was about to burst out!

The Queen Mother, who had been acting as a tool at the side, continued to remain silent, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Muhua was indescribable.

Pei Shaorong anxiously tugged at Xu Muhua's sleeve, fearing that she would anger the emperor and be punished.

The veins on Zhao Chengye's forehead seemed to jump.

Pei Shaorong pulled his sleeve and Xu Muhua finally reacted. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, then blinked innocently at the emperor.

The emperor couldn't just scold him for just muttering these two words, but he was really angry and was about to vent it on his two sons.

Zhao Chengye stood up and said, "Father, although the Eastern Palace was wronged today, fortunately no big mistake was made. This matter was caused by Fourth Brother's concubine, so let Fourth Brother handle it!"

very good!

Xu Muhua secretly gave Zhao Chengye a thumbs up.

It not only points out that what Donggong encountered today was completely an unprovoked disaster, but also demonstrates his deep understanding of justice and love for his brother.

Everyone knew exactly what was going on, including the Emperor.

Prince Qin put all the blame on Pei Zhen, and the emperor was very happy to see it. After all, Prince Qin was his son no matter what, and the emperor didn't want his two sons to quarrel.

Pei Zhen was just an outsider and a concubine at that. It was no big deal if she was sacrificed.

"Since the prince has said so, let the matter be handled by you, Prince Qin! Pei is your concubine in the backyard, and you are not immune from such a thing!" The emperor said, "Leave everything to the prince, and confine yourself to the palace for three months, and you are not allowed to leave!"

King Qin's face turned pale and his body seemed to shake.

"My son obeys the order!"

Xu Muhua felt as if he heard a hint of gnashing of teeth in Qin Wang's tone.

It seems that the emperor is quite good to this Qin Wang. Although everyone knows that this matter was caused by Qin Wang, he took the opportunity to push the responsibility onto Pei Zhen. Doesn't this mean that he doesn't want to pursue this matter anymore?

Tsk, is it really because I’ve gotten older and become soft-hearted?

The emperor said nothing more and soon got up and left.

When King Qin stood up, he had even calmed down his emotions. Facing Zhao Chengye's face full of shame, he said a few words and then acted as if he was too embarrassed to face anyone and hurried away.

"I'm sorry for wronging you today." The queen held Pei Shaorong's hand and spoke with pity.

Pei Shaorong shook her head, "We made our mother worried."

The queen sighed and said nothing more. Instead, she turned to Zhao Chengye and said, "Since something like this has happened, you should go back to the East Palace first! I believe the prince knows what to do with the rest, so I won't say more."

"Don't worry, mother. I understand everything."

By the time they left Changchun Palace, the news had already spread quickly.

When the incident happened, Pei Zhen and the King Qin originally intended to make a big fuss, but they didn't expect that they would suffer the most in the end! If the matter had been suppressed from the beginning and not spread, there might have been room for a turnaround and the reputation of the King Qin's Mansion could have been saved to the greatest extent.

Now it’s too late to regret!

King Qin, who had been holding on, finally made it out of the palace and got on his carriage, but he immediately couldn't hold it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood!

The guard who was about to lower the curtain was so scared that his face turned pale!

"Your Majesty!"

"Shut up! Go back home immediately!"

As for Pei Zhen who was dragged out earlier, King Qin had completely forgotten about this person. He was only thinking about how to break the current situation!

House arrest for three months, if you really wait for three months, the opportunity will be gone!
