Reborn Emperor's House

Chapter 99 Sad and Deplorable

The news that the crown prince was banned was indeed good news for the eldest prince.

For several days in a row, the eldest prince was eager to do something so that the prince would never stand up.

At this time, Mr. Qi dissuaded the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so impatient. After all, the king of a country will not be inherited by a broken sleeve." Mr. Qi said.

"Having said that, I'm afraid that things will change if it's too late." The eldest prince still hesitated.

"At this point, Your Highness must not be impatient."

"Well... that's right, the fourth child will have to clean up sooner or later. Now I have to find a way, and the second child has to do it too."

"Your Highness, you mean the second prince?" Mr. Qi was a little surprised, the eldest prince was really in a hurry.

"That's right, I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone." The eldest prince's eyes were full of calculation and ruthlessness.

Mr. Qi didn't answer any more. He knew that the eldest prince had made up his mind, so he didn't need to say anything more at this moment. The eldest prince did many injustices, and sooner or later he would dig his own grave.

On this day, the emperor felt a little more comfortable. He didn't go to court in the morning, but went to the imperial garden. He was accompanied by an ordinary concubine. This concubine had been in the palace for a long time, and she was very gentle. Wan Xianshu never likes to talk, so the emperor has always liked her.

The two were walking, and the emperor sighed leisurely, "My body is getting worse day by day."

Concubine Concubine hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please don't say that, the imperial physician has already said so, as long as the Emperor's body is taken care of, there will be nothing serious."

"I know my body well." The emperor looked a little unwilling, "Recently someone brought up the change of Chu's position. It seems that many people can't bear it during the period of my illness."

"The emperor has already made up his mind about Chu Wei, so there is no need for them to talk too much." Concubine Concubine said firmly.

The emperor looked at her strangely, "There is a conclusion? What conclusion do I have?"

The concubine looked very innocent, "Huh? When the emperor was ill for the first time, the concubine heard that the emperor was not happy with the prince, and wanted to make the second prince the prince. Later, seeing that the emperor really punished the prince, I thought that the emperor would make the second prince soon. The prince is now, isn't he?"

The emperor stopped, looked straight at the concubine beside him, and asked her, "Where did you hear that?"

"This...is all a woman's gossip. I know my crime, and I beg the emperor to forgive me." The concubine knelt down.

"I ask you, where did you hear that?"

"Concubine, concubine dare not say..."

"Say!"

"Yes. The concubine just happened to hear a few words from someone in Concubine Xian's palace, so..."

Concubine Xian?The second prince's mother.

"Who else has heard of this?" asked the emperor.

"I don't know about myself."

The emperor thought for a while, "Get up, don't talk about today's affairs."

"Yes, I understand."

The emperor was not in the mood to continue, so he turned around and immediately arranged for someone to investigate the second prince.

A few days later, the emperor found out that Concubine Xian had written to her mother's family many times, asking them to cultivate conclusive evidence of her power.

Then, the family of Concubine Xian was found out, and the Li family was promoting the second prince everywhere.

Afterwards, all the unfavorable news about the second prince appeared on the emperor's desk one after another, among which the news about private iron smelting was the most glaring.

The emperor looked at the news on the table, nothing else, iron making... This is the preparation for the troops, the Li family is powerful, and the emperor is in the capital, it is impossible to wipe out the Li family In this case, the Li family secretly smelted iron, and the powerful relationship among them made the emperor vigilant.

The emperor was stunned for a while, and issued a decree to thoroughly investigate the residence of the second prince.

The second prince, caught off guard, was found several disrespectful and rebellious letters.

With the emperor's thunderous means, the second prince was sent to the sky prison on the same day, concubine Xian was placed under house arrest in the palace, all officials of the Li family in the capital, no matter how big or small, were dismissed for investigation, and all officials in other places who held important positions were also dismissed. Only a few small fish and shrimp were left.

The second prince didn't know his crimes until he was thrown into prison for no reason. At this time, he was called Tian Tian Ying, and the land was not working.

After thinking about it carefully, it was only then that he realized that he had been framed.

The second prince sat in the sky prison, staring at the bugs crawling back and forth on the floor of the cell in a daze.

"Your Highness." A clear and familiar voice.

The second prince suddenly turned his head, "Why are you here?"

"It's cold in the cell. The slaves brought thick clothes for His Highness. It's cold at night. Your Highness should wear more."

"You... how did you come in? Who are you...?" The second prince looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

"Your Highness, this servant is just His Highness's servant." The woman's eyes drooped, unable to see her expression clearly.

"Hahahahaha," the second prince suddenly laughed, "Zitong, Zitong, I didn't expect you to be so secretive. Tell me, who do you take orders from? Is it the elder brother or the prince?"

"The maidservant was redeemed by His Highness from the brothel back then, so she obeyed His Highness's orders." Zitong replied.

"Follow me! I am in such a situation, but I don't know how much it is due to Miss Zitong." The second prince burst into tears uncontrollably.

Zitong knelt on the ground and didn't speak.

The second prince looked at her, and then said, "At the beginning when I saw you were so talented, I thought you had to live in a brothel, but now it seems that it's all a trap..." The second prince sighed, and continued, "Miss Zitong, I just want to Ask, how much of the original warmth was true!"

Zitong knelt down without saying a word.

The second prince calmed down for a while, and then said, "Forget it, now I have no chance of turning over, people are swords and I'm fish, you go back and report to your master, the second prince has lost."

Zitong raised his head at this moment, his face covered with tears.

The second prince was a little surprised. He had never seen Zitong cry. In his impression, Zitong was always calm and indifferent.

"Your Highness, this servant is not subordinate to any prince, and this servant has never harmed His Highness." Zitong looked at the second prince, and continued, "Your Highness treats your servant well, and this servant knows it, but this servant does not deserve His Highness's kindness to your servant."

Zitong took a deep breath and told the truth, "The servant is a spy of the Underworld. Shangfeng ordered the servant to stay with His Highness, just to report on His Highness's movements. The servant originally wanted to be a maid or a maid, but I didn't want to be loved by His Highness. At first The servant really just wanted to complete the task, but later...the servant couldn't control herself anymore."

Zitong's tears kept flowing, and the long-standing conflicts, grievances, guilt, and betrayal were all vented with tears.

"Your Highness, the First Prince has a vicious mind. Before the First Prince failed to form an alliance with His Highness, he sent people to assassinate His Highness many times. This time it was also a trap set by the First Prince. After His Highness refused to form an alliance, the master of the slave ordered the slave to protect His Highness. It is the slave." Useless, failed to protect His Highness."

"You were the one who stopped me from forming an alliance. What would have happened if I had agreed to form an alliance?"

"Illness and death."

"Why do you want to stop me? Is it your master's order?"

"Master, as long as I monitor His Highness, I have never given any other orders. I am just a servant..."

"Your master, you are helping the prince, right?"

"Yes."

"I see, let's go."

Zitong didn't know what to say, so she left her clothes and left.
