My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

At the same time, the East Palace.

The prince was hurriedly packing his belongings.

The Crown Princess held her daughter in her arms and looked at her man in horror, "What are you going to do?"

The prince ignored her and just focused on putting silver and banknotes into the box.

The Crown Princess stepped forward and pulled him, "What happened?"

"Get out!" The prince waved his hand in disgust and threw her to the ground.

The child fell down and started crying.

The prince turned around and looked at his daughter, hesitating for a moment. Then he hardened his heart and went back to work.

The wet nurse came quickly and took the child away as far away as possible.

The Crown Princess didn't care about her image at all. She rushed over like crazy, grabbed the Crown Prince's arm, and bit it hard.

The prince was so angry that he pushed her away and said, "Someone, lock up this crazy woman. Do not let her out without my order."

It's already this late, and this brainless crazy woman still won't stop.

During the morning court session, my father suddenly issued an edict to confer the title of prince on Cui Hongxiao.

He felt like he couldn't breathe at that moment. Wasn't it obvious that his father was trying to annoy the Eastern Palace by bringing out a prince?

If this continues, the East Palace will have to change owners sooner or later.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind - why not do the opposite!

After all, his uncle Wei Mengyun had already made preparations for him.

But he still had a glimmer of fantasy, and he didn't want to go that route unless it was absolutely necessary.

After returning from the morning court, he was sulking in his study when he received another piece of news that forced him to finally make up his mind.

Just before Eunuch Li went to deliver the letter, the guard came hurriedly to report that Wei Tianjie had escaped from prison.

Also missing was his mother, as well as a secret letter hidden in the wall of Wei Mengyun's room.

Wei Tianjie was the posthumous son of the fifth branch of the Wei family and the cousin of the crown prince. He and Wei Mengyun had brought him out to take the blame for the murder of the merchant family. They had captured Wei Tianjie's mother and forced her to submit.

When the case was still in Jingzhao Prefecture, Wei Tianjie was imprisoned and later transferred to the Ministry of Justice.

Although it was later found that Wei Tianjie had nothing to do with the case, Cui Qimo forced the Ministry of Justice to close the case, which saved the prince a little face.

To the outside world, they still said that the crime was committed by Wei Tianjie. Wei Tianjie was still in prison, waiting to be executed.

The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the time. This result was ultimately a safe outcome.

He thought that his father must not know what was behind the merchant case, otherwise he would never have known that he kept private soldiers and left it alone.

But Wei Tianjie escaped from prison and all this could no longer be concealed.

He regretted it so much that he should not have waited for the execution. He should have acted earlier and killed him in prison.

The key point is that the secret letter that disappeared was simply his death warrant.

This letter was written to him by Emperor Xiling.

In the letter, the Xiling Emperor said that as long as the 100,000 private soldiers the prince kept at the border between the two countries did not cross the border and no longer harassed the people of Xiling, Xiling would turn a blind eye. He also promised that as long as the prince ceded ten cities to Xiling after ascending the throne, Xiling would lend him 200,000 soldiers to help him ascend the throne.

If Wei Tianjie goes to see the emperor with this letter, everything will be over.

He must run out of the city immediately, otherwise he will die.

Everyone can ignore it, including your own mother and daughter, but you cannot ignore your uncle.

After all, it was his uncle who contacted people for him regarding those matters outside, so he was still useful!

After he asked Jing to notify Wei Mengyun, he began to frantically pack up his belongings in the East Palace in preparation for escape.

While we were packing, Eunuch Li also arrived.

After he read the contents of the letter brought by Eunuch Li, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand. His father knew everything, and he really had no way back.

Royal study room.

Cui Qimo looked tired and his mood was quite complicated.

"Your Majesty..." It was Minister Duan of the Ministry of Justice who was asking for a meeting outside, his voice trembling.

Eunuch Li went to welcome him in. As soon as Minister Duan came in, he fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, someone just came to report that Wei Tianjie escaped from prison this morning!"

"What?" Cui Qimo's tired face instantly turned into shock and he stood up in an instant.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

A death row prisoner who was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice and awaiting execution, and who was also a weak scholar, actually managed to escape from prison.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never believe that Wei Tianjie could escape from prison on his own.

"When did it happen?" Cui Qimo asked.

"It happened yesterday at midnight. Your humble servant, no, I just learned about it..." Shangshu Duan lowered his head and responded in a low voice.

A teacup flew from above and hit Shangshu Duan directly on the forehead.

Minister Duan did not dare to hide, and kowtowed with blood on his forehead: "It is my fault for failing in my duty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Investigate, find out who the accomplice is! If you can't find out, you'll be beheaded!" Cui Qimo's anger at this moment was no longer because of Wei Tianjie's prison break itself, but more because someone actually dared to kidnap the criminal he had designated.

What was he doing? Was he afraid that this matter wouldn't get out of hand? Was he trying to expose the truth of the matter and let the world laugh at him, the emperor, for finding someone to take the blame in order to exonerate his son? Was he trying to slap him in the face?

Minister Duan trembled all over and ran away crawling.

Just as he left, another attendant came to report that the prince had hurriedly left the city with a few of his confidants.

The emperor gnashed his teeth in hatred.

He was both angry and sad. Although he had expected such a result, before it happened, he still had a glimmer of hope for the prince, hoping that he would stop in time.

Now, the last ray of hope has turned into extreme disappointment and anger.

He wanted to kill the prince, but he also wanted to save his life.

After all, he was his eldest son whom he had loved since childhood.

As long as a person destroys his own flesh and blood with his own hands, he will always feel uncomfortable.

But now that the prince has escaped, how can he save his life?

"It seems that he doesn't want this last chance I give him. This traitor can even abandon his own mother, wife and daughter! In this case, he is also capable of regicide and patricide!" Cui Qimo slammed the imperial desk heavily.

He also figured out that what prompted the prince to flee was not the letter he asked Eunuch Li to deliver, but the news of Wei Tianjie's escape from prison! That letter only made him run faster!

It seems that this unfilial son was well prepared. Fortunately, I still wanted to give him a chance.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and he couldn't breathe. He convulsed and fell on the dragon throne.
