Chapter 40

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" At this moment, a little eunuch ran in staggeringly, one of them accidentally stepped on the hem of his clothes, and fell directly to the ground.

"Bastard! How flustered and flustered!" The prince's anger provoked by the fifth prince was all vented on the little eunuch, and he snorted coldly, "Get out of here if you are shameless!"

The fifth prince's face darkened, of course he knew that the prince was referring to Sang and scolding Huai, seeing the little eunuch's flustered look, he sneered and said: "In my king's opinion, Brother Eldest Emperor, let's hear what this little eunuch has to do! Don't miss it." What a big event, it will be bad for the father to blame it when the time comes!"

"I don't need my fifth brother to worry about anything in this East Palace!" The prince held Ouyang Shijie's arm sideways, and said with a faint smile: "Sixth brother has come to the East Palace today, so he must be drunk or return home." !"

"My prince..." How could Ouyang Shijie have been valued so much before? Originally, when the fifth prince invited him to a banquet, his mother and concubine urged him to be careful in everything, but he was invited over by the prince's people before he set off. , Say yes, it is no different from robbing people.

"Sixth brother, don't worry, the fifth brother is so generous, he will never mind this matter!" Of course the prince knew what Ouyang Shijie was going to explain, but today he didn't intend to save face for the fifth prince, Yuan Chuanyang said The incident made him realize that the so-called childhood friendship between himself and these brothers did not exist at all.

In fact, if Yun Yuexi knows what the prince is thinking, he will definitely find it funny. The prince has always only allowed the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps. He can frame others, but others must show friendship and morality to him, otherwise It is an unfaithful and unrighteous person. If such a person really becomes the emperor, how the world will be harmed by him, but the prince has always pretended to be very good.

"Your Highness!" Seeing that the prince was about to leave, the little eunuch got up quickly and said anxiously, "Your Highness, you should go to the imperial study as soon as possible! Lady Ruan brought someone to sue the imperial court! She said that you sent the witch beside you The doctor cast a spell on Grand Master Ruan, intending to poison Grand Master Ruan!"

"Presumptuous! What are you talking nonsense, you dog slave!" Eunuch Yan who was beside the prince immediately walked up to the little eunuch, kicked the little eunuch violently, and winked at the guards on the left and right. After being dragged down with his mouth covered, he turned around and said, "Your Highness, this little eunuch is a little out of his mind and has disturbed all the distinguished guests. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"His Royal Highness!" Before Eunuch Yan finished his sentence, Eunuch Liu hurried over with a few eunuchs, and after saluting, he said, "Your Majesty, please come to the imperial study."

"Father!" When the crown prince walked into the imperial study, he saw that Ruan Qingyue was there, and his heart sank, but he didn't show it at all, "Miss Ruan is also here."

"Your Highness, you better give me an explanation today! How did our Ruan family offend His Highness the Crown Prince? It is worth the Crown Prince's concern!" Ruan Qingyue's hot temper is well-known throughout the capital, but Ruan Qingyue won the favor of the elder who lives alone. The princess and several other princesses like it, so most people dare not mess with the only female martial arts champion.

"I don't know what Miss Ruan is talking about." Of course, the crown prince can't admit that he used the witch doctor to harm people. What's more, the witch doctor is dead now. I'm not afraid either.

"This person admits that he works for His Highness the Crown Prince, and besides the witch doctor next to the Prince, who else would take care of that blood pet?" Ruan Qingyue did exactly what Yue Xi said, but she didn't understand why. Will Yuexi know that there is a witch doctor beside the prince?

"I don't know this person at all!" The crown prince glanced at the person kneeling above the hall, and said to the emperor in a clear voice: "Father, my son is really wronged, and I ask father to be the master of my son!"

"His Royal Highness, the slave has done so many years for you in the Ruan family. This time, the witch doctor next to you specially gave the blood pet to the slave. How can you abandon the slave now?" Before the emperor could speak, The servant who was kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, stared at the prince viciously and said, "Didn't your Highness say that you will let the servant be the housekeeper of Ruan's mansion when Grand Master Ruan takes orders from you?"

"It's a bunch of nonsense! I haven't seen you at all, so why did you instruct you to do these things?" The prince never thought that this servant would identify himself in the hall. How many are his own people, because after all, it is impossible for him to do it himself all the time, but didn't the witch doctor say that these people would never betray?
What is going on now?

"Your Majesty, the grassroots have evidence!" The boy didn't show any expression when he heard what the prince said. He just took out a piece of yellowed toilet paper from his pocket, opened it carefully, and presented it to Eunuch Liu who walked up to him. .

The emperor glanced down, and then at Eunuch Yu who was beside him. Eunuch Yu immediately took the straw paper and looked at it carefully, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "It is true that it has been a long time, and this person never obeys orders." On that day, the crown prince began to record, who came to look for him on which day and what year, and what they said, all were recorded."

The emperor raised his hand, signaling for Eunuch Yu not to say any more, and swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, and then slowly said: "Miss Ruan, I will give the Ruan family an explanation on this matter, you go back first!"

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave." When Ruan Qingyue heard what the Emperor said, she immediately bowed out according to Yun Yuexi's arrangement, without saying a word.

"Come here, pull this person down." The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Liu immediately understood what he meant, and quickly arranged for someone to gag the boy and pull him down.

"Feng'er, why are you dealing with Ruan Anjun." When only the emperor and the crown prince were left on the main hall, the emperor said coldly, "You are already in the position of crown prince, what is there to fight for?"

"Father, my son doesn't have any!" The crown prince knelt on the ground with a thud, and said bitterly, "There is no witch doctor around me, and I don't know where that little servant came from, so please check it out! "

"Are you saying that I'm old and confused?" The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Ruan Anjun and Ruan Qingyue are the only ones left in the Ruan family. What kind of threat can they pose to you? Could it be that you want to get something from Ruan Anjun? Son, the future of this world is yours, why are you so anxious?"

"My son is really wronged this time, father can thoroughly investigate this matter!" As if determined, Ouyang Lefeng still refused to admit that this matter was related to him, and the father and son suddenly fell into silence.

"Empress, the emperor is discussing important matters with His Highness the Crown Prince in the imperial study." Eunuch Liu, who was waiting outside, saw the empress approaching from a distance, and suddenly had a headache, but he went up early, saluted respectfully, and said: "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the empress to go in."

"I'm here to deliver bird's nest porridge to the emperor. Go and pass it on. If the emperor doesn't want to see me, it's not too late for me to leave." Of course, the empress is not easy to dismiss, let alone she has already won the crown prince. Why was the news brought to the imperial study room, how could he leave without the prince?

Eunuch Liu said embarrassingly: "Empress, don't embarrass the slave, there are some things, I'm afraid it will be easier for the emperor and His Royal Highness to talk about it."

"Eunuch Liu, you have been by the emperor's side for many years, so you must know this palace's temper." Speaking of this, the queen's tone was already a little displeased. She is also a queen no matter what. I am willing to care about it, but Eunuch Liu is too ignorant of flattery!
"Slave understands!" Eunuch Liu was also very worried, but he didn't show it on his face, he could only turn around and hurried to the front of the main hall, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the empress is begging to see you."

The hall was still quiet. Just when Eunuch Liu was about to turn around and reply to the queen, the crown prince opened the door, looked at Eunuch Liu with a gloomy expression, and said, "Father let you in."

After Eunuch Liu saluted the crown prince, he walked directly into the imperial study, while the crown prince walked towards the queen's place with heavy steps.

"Prince!" Seeing the prince coming out, the queen quickly went up to greet him, and asked in a low voice: "Prince, are you alright?"

"Mother, this is not a place to talk, I'm talking back to the East Palace." The prince didn't say much, but turned around and left with the queen, and the queen didn't come to see the emperor, let alone the emperor didn't intend to see her, so He simply didn't stay any longer and left directly.

"Your Majesty!" After Eunuch Liu walked in, he found that the Emperor was pinching his brows wearily, leaning on the dragon chair, and couldn't help but said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you should take care of your dragon body!"

"I thought that the prince's personality was mostly followed by me, but now it seems that it was taught by that woman, and it's just a good disguise all these years!" Thinking of the hysterical crying of the prince just now, the emperor only Feeling a headache, the crown prince of a country dare not even take responsibility for what he has done, and when someone finds out, he doesn't want to solve it. He is like a woman making jokes, which is really disappointing.

The emperor suddenly said this inexplicable words, which made Eunuch Liu's eyelids twitch. For so many years, the emperor's attitude towards the prince has always been mild, but now he is getting tired of this matter?
"Your Majesty, this matter should be thoroughly investigated in order to restore the crown prince's innocence." Eunuch Liu said cautiously: "Anyway, if it gets out, it may affect the reputation of the crown prince."

"Why don't I know what you said?" The emperor said coldly: "The order is passed on, and this matter is not allowed to be discussed again. None of these sons of mine can rest assured. The matter of Yuan Chuanyang has not yet been settled, so another question You also know Ruan Anjun's temper in the headless case, and besides... I owe the Ruan family in the end."

Eunuch Liu didn't dare to answer this sentence. Unlike Eunuch Yu, who followed the emperor since he was a child, he became the chief eunuch because Eunuch Yu didn't want to show off in front of others, so naturally he couldn't dare to say anything like Eunuch Yu.

"Preach my decree, to reward Master Ruan with a hundred taels of gold, twelve bolts of Lingshi silk and satin, and let the Imperial Hospital pick out the medicinal materials and send them to you." There is no such thing as a son, and that boy slandered the prince because of his old enmity with the prince."

Forget it, it's time to give the crown prince a wake-up call. As the crown prince, he can't even bear this setback, so how can this country stand firm?
