"Let's go, report back to the emperor." After he finished speaking, he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a group of guards.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor had just used the decoction, and outsiders reported that the crown prince had brought it.

The prince obviously came here in a hurry, he knelt down on the ground immediately, "I have seen my father."

The emperor waved his hand and signaled others to go down.

The prince knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy. He didn't know what the emperor knew, and all the guards around him were taken away by Dongchang for interrogation.

I saw the emperor sitting up with his arms propped up, staring at him for a long time.

He suddenly felt a little strange to his son, since the prince was grounded in the East Palace, he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"I ordered you to confine yourself in the East Palace, but you left the palace without permission. How do you explain it?"

"My son, my son just wants to leave the palace..." The prince trembled, unable to utter a word of explanation.

"Everyone around you has already confessed, how long are you going to keep it from me!" The emperor threw the thing in his hand in front of the prince, which was the confession of Zhang Shi and others.

"Framed the third prince, secretly colluded with Beidi, what else did you do!"

The prince tremblingly picked up the certificate, and sure enough, the people around him confessed to him.

"My son, my son is wronged!" The prince kowtowed anxiously, "Although my son has had contact with Beidi, it is for the sake of my father's country, and I have no second thoughts!" The prince was tearful, if he didn't know The inside story really makes people think that he is a loyal and filial son.

It's a pity that the emperor has lost confidence in him, he closed his eyes, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Before he could speak, Feng Xian came in from outside.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the servant searched the palace in the East Palace and found a scabbard. The servant has already been inspected, and it is exactly the same as the dagger that assassinated the emperor."

After hearing Feng Xian's words, the crown prince froze for a moment. He fell to the ground, staring at his eyes, as if he had a sudden reaction, and hurriedly kneeled in front of the emperor, "Father, my son is wronged! There must be someone Framed, I swear on my life, I have no intention of framing my father, I beg my father to investigate clearly!"

The emperor looked at the scabbard in Feng Xian's hand, and had nothing to say for a while.

"The thing was found in your palace, and the East Palace has not been out or in for many days, what else do you want to explain?" The emperor looked at the prince, and felt the pain in his heart even worse.

The prince was crying tears, he pulled the corner of the emperor's bed with all his strength, "Father, no matter how hard this son can do anything to father, even if it was really my son who did it, could it be that my son is a fool? Put the scabbard in your own palace, please check it out!"

The emperor looked at him, heaved a long sigh, and felt that he had nothing to say to this son, so he said to Feng Xian, "Go and draw up an order."

Feng Xian took the pen and paper, and only listened to the emperor's slow decree: "Prince Wenlin, imprisoned in the East Palace without repentance, went out of the city privately, colluded with foreign countries, framed his brothers, the crown prince will be abolished from now on, and imprisoned in the clan mansion. He shall not be released without an edict."

Feng Xian wrote out the will word by word, and the prince finally fell to the ground in front of the emperor.

Feng Xian waved his hand, and several guards stepped forward, "Your Highness, please." After speaking, the prince was dragged down by the guards.

"Your majesty, my son is wronged!" The prince was still screaming desperately when he was dragged out, but unfortunately the emperor didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, and those guards were ordered by the emperor, and they didn't even give him the slightest chance to explain. .

The crown prince was abruptly dragged away and taken to the clan's mansion to be imprisoned.

The iron gate slammed shut, and the prince sat on the ground stupidly. In an instant, he changed from the prince of the Eastern Palace to a criminal subject imprisoned in the clan's mansion, and he suddenly laughed.

Fate will really play a joke on him!

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor seemed to have aged ten years overnight, Feng Xian poured him a bowl of ginseng soup, "Your Majesty, let's eat something."

It's a pity that the emperor didn't intend to eat, and just stared at the distance, a little absent-minded.

Feng Xian put down the ginseng soup, "Your Majesty, don't be too sad, the crown prince was also confused for a while, I expect him to reform himself in the clan's mansion."

The emperor in front of him had cloudy eyes, sighed deeply, and said rather disappointedly: "My sons, the boss has already learned from the past, and he is still locked up in the clan mansion. Now the prince is still following his brother's old path." He He muttered again: "It's all my fault, I didn't teach my son well."

Xu Shi was too tired, the emperor couldn't keep his eyes open, Feng Xian was about to go up to serve him to sleep, when someone outside suddenly announced, "Your Majesty, Taifu Zhou is asking to see you."

Feng Xian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this name. Since Zhou Yuan's incident happened, Taifu Zhou has been staying at home to avoid suspicion. The emperor once thought that he wanted to resign for retirement. Now that he suddenly asked to see him, even the emperor was a little surprised.

He couldn't see him, so he braced himself and told Feng Xian, "Let him in."

"Greetings to the emperor, long live my emperor." As soon as the old matriarch came in, he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times. The emperor waved his hand, "Since I am here to ask for an audience and not to go to court, why should the matriarch be so polite?" Get up." After he finished speaking, he began to cough again, and Feng Xian stepped forward to beat his back.

"I dare not get up." The Taifu bowed his head.

"Why did Taifu say that?"

"Your Majesty specially apologized to the Emperor today." Although the old matriarch is old, when he speaks, he is angry.

"If Taifu is talking about the previous incident..."

"Your Majesty, I came to plead guilty today. I was ordered to teach the prince, but I taught the prince to be a deceitful and disobedient person. I am guilty."

"Why is Aiqing like this? I haven't taught him well. What can you do? Get up first..." The more the emperor said, the more bitter he felt.

Zhou Taifu didn't get up, but bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say to Your Majesty alone."

The emperor raised his head and looked at him again at this time, Feng Xian understood from the side, he turned to the emperor, "Since the Tai Tuo and His Majesty have important matters to discuss, the slave will step down first."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Before he left, his gaze met Taifu Zhou's.

The emperor tried his best to lean on the embroidered cushion behind him, "What's the matter with Ai Qing, let's talk now."

"Your Majesty, I just heard that the scabbard used to assassinate the Emperor was found in Dongchang in the East Palace. Your Majesty, this matter is too strange. I have to remind the Emperor not to be blinded by villains."

In fact, the emperor himself also felt that finding this scabbard in the East Palace was very inconceivable. Indeed, the scabbard seemed to be ironclad evidence that the crown prince assassinated him, but this evidence was so ironclad that he couldn't believe it.

But it is a fact that the prince and Beidi colluded and left the palace privately, so the emperor didn't bother to investigate it carefully.

The old lady Fu stepped forward, "Your Majesty, if the Crown Prince really wanted to assassinate the Emperor, he would never put the dagger and scabbard in his own palace. Your Majesty, be careful."

Taifu Zhou was really in a hurry today. After he heard about this at home, he wanted to see the emperor without saying a word. Mrs. Zhou wanted to stop him from getting involved in the emperor's family affairs. Unexpectedly, Taifu Zhou scolded her: "It's really short-sighted. Obviously someone framed the crown prince, I just sit at home these days, and I know that I can't get away from Jingchun Palace, if I hide at home to avoid suspicion at this time, once she is really in power, I will die."

This is also the reason why he rushed to see the emperor.

It's a pity that the emperor's mind is not bright at all, no matter how bad his health is now, he didn't listen to what Zhou Taifu said.

He sighed, "I also felt that this matter was strange, so I did not pursue the matter of the prince, but it is a fact that he colluded with Bei Di, it is also a fact that he left the palace privately, and it is even more ironclad evidence that he framed the third prince. Don't talk about it anymore, Tai Tu. It is enough for him to stay in the clan mansion for a lifetime."

"Your Majesty, that's your son..."
