After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

When the Ministry of Justice reported the matter of King Cheng to the emperor, the emperor's eyes subconsciously turned to the prince, who shrank back, but soon straightened his back and knelt on the ground, saying solemnly: "Father, it is my fault. I was negligent in disciplining King Cheng on a daily basis, which led to his committing such a heinous mistake. But father, I really did not know about this matter!" He looked at the emperor earnestly, his eyes full of regret and self-blame.

Then he continued, "I am well aware that as an elder brother, I have failed to fulfill my responsibility to educate my younger brother and led King Cheng astray. This is all my fault. Please punish me, father. But I also hope to get a chance to make up for my mistake. So I am willing to take out 50,000 taels of silver to subsidize the military pay at the border, to improve the living conditions of the soldiers at the border, and to make a small contribution to the country." After saying this, he kowtowed deeply to show his sincerity and determination.

At this time, the court was silent, and everyone was staring at the emperor nervously, waiting for his response. The emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was thinking about something. Of course, he didn't look at the prince for this reason. His first reaction was to know that the prince was trying to save his life, but, after all, he was his son, and he had to...

"Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince is close to King Cheng, people's hearts are hard to predict. King Cheng would have to hide such a thing from the Crown Prince. Please, Your Majesty, take into account the Crown Prince's sincere heart that cares for the soldiers on the frontier and don't be deceived by this villain!" The person who spoke was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. He looked at the emperor earnestly and said.

Others echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has always been kind and benevolent, and is even more loyal to Your Majesty. How could he do such a thing? Someone must want to frame the Crown Prince. I implore Your Majesty to be more discerning!"

The emperor couldn't help but sneer in his heart as he listened to what everyone said. Do these people think that this can exonerate the prince? Do they think of themselves as three-year-old children? However, the emperor still said expressionlessly: "This matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly. I will not easily wrongly accuse anyone." After that, he waved his hand and let everyone leave.

The prince was slightly relieved when he saw this, but he knew that the matter was not over yet. Next, he had to find a way to clean up the other evidence pointing to him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

In the imperial study, the emperor's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were wide open, veins bulged on his forehead, and his lips were tightly closed, as if he wanted to hold all his anger in his heart. He was breathing heavily, and his chest was heaving violently, as if he would burst out at any time.

He clenched his fists tightly, and because he was squeezing too hard, his nails dug deep into the flesh, and blood oozed from between his fingers, but he was completely unaware. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, threw his favorite folding fan to the ground, and then stomped on it a few times, cursing, "This bastard!"

Zhu Wenyun, who was standing aside, watched this scene and stood there in silence.

"I have always thought that although the Crown Prince is not a kind person, he is not cruel!" He paused, calmed down, and continued, "Since Shangguan passed away, Prince Cheng has been raised by the Queen. On weekdays, he looks like a loving mother and filial son, and a friendly brother and respectful younger brother. Who would have thought that once something happened, he would choose to kill his own brother to save his life!"

Zhu Wenyun shook his head. Other people's lives were not as important as his own. What's more, Queen Mother died early and his maternal family was in decline. He was just barely alive with the current Queen. How could the Prince really like him? He didn't send him to see the King of Hell early to prevent him from affecting his chances of succession in the future. It was obvious that he didn't like him at all.

The emperor took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He understood all the reasons, but after all, he was his own son, and he was really heartbroken.

As for how to deal with the prince, he was still a little hesitant.
