The Iceberg Prince was teased by me

Chapter 279 What a pity, I don't have enough evidence

Prince Xuan suddenly raised his head, holding back tears and saying stubbornly, "Father, I really didn't frame them. I don't know why my seventh brother ended up in the dungeon. Father, I was wrongly accused!"

After hearing this, Concubine Xian immediately knelt down in front of the Emperor Ting, pulled his bright yellow dragon robe and begged, "Your Majesty, Xuan'er was really wronged. He has always loved his brothers the most. He would never do such a thing to frame his brothers! Please believe him, please, please, Your Majesty, I beg you to believe Xuan'er! Please help Xuan'er catch the culprit who designed such a fratricide, please!"

As Concubine Xian spoke, she kowtowed repeatedly, until her forehead bled. Prince Xuan saw this with heartache, knelt over and held her, crying, "Mother, mother, please stop kowtow, you are bleeding!"

He looked at Emperor Ting again, his eyes full of pleading: "Father, please ask my mother to stop kowtowing. I am willing to accept the punishment, and I only hope that you can take good care of my mother!"

When Mu Yanchen saw that his father's face was filled with emotion, his heart sank: his father was still too soft-hearted. Yes, if he didn't know that the person who sent people to poison him and his seventh brother was this filial son, he really wouldn't believe that he would do such a thing.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough evidence. If he did, he would definitely throw the evidence in front of him and make it impossible for him to continue acting!

At the same time, seeing this scene of loving mother and filial son, Prince Hao actually believed it. He walked out, bowed and said, "Father, I believe in my third brother. Please give him a chance to prove his innocence!"

Jiang Wenyuan was surprised when she heard this. She had never expected that he went out to force the emperor to make a decision, so she did not reach out to stop him.

She stood there stiffly, and her face quickly regained its composure. Only her clenched fists in her sleeves expressed her sadness that the dead end she had risked her life to get into was given hope by her husband with just a few words.

When Emperor Ting heard his eldest son say this, he had a look of relief like an old father, and then he said, "Xuan'er, since you are so sure that this matter has nothing to do with you, then I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression. You will lead 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing Machinery Camp to Wuzi Mountain to suppress the bandits. You must capture the bandit leader alive within five days and find out his behind-the-scenes collaborator to prove your innocence!"

Prince Jing felt extremely dissatisfied when he heard this, but seeing that his elder brother was just watching this indifferently, he suppressed his anger and stood quietly beside Mu Yanchen.

When Prince Xuan and his mother heard this, their fears finally disappeared. In particular, Concubine Xian thanked the Emperor Ting with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing in Xuan'er. Thank you for giving him the opportunity to prove his innocence. Don't worry, I will stay in Prince Xuan's mansion and keep an eye on Xuan'er to complete the tasks you have asked me to do as soon as possible!"

The Emperor Ting had originally disliked her for living outside the palace since she woke up from her coma. Now that she had just returned and was thinking about leaving the palace, he could no longer hold back and scolded her coldly, "Nonsense! Although you are Xuan'er's mother, you are still a concubine in the harem. How can you live outside the palace for a long time? From now on, you are not allowed to leave the palace without my permission. Xuan'er has grown up and already knows the priorities of things. There is no need for you, a woman, to worry about these things!"

The virtuous concubine was so frightened by this cold rebuke that she trembled and nodded obediently: "Your Majesty is right. I know I was wrong. I will not leave the palace. I will live in the palace peacefully and pray that Xuan'er will catch the bandits and prove his innocence as soon as possible!"

"Okay, you all can leave. I'm tired and need to rest!" Emperor Ting raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then turned around and gave the order.

"Your son/daughter-in-law/concealer will take their leave!" Several people bowed together and left the imperial study.

As soon as Jiang Wenyuan came out of the imperial study, she pulled Prince Hao away angrily. Mu Yanchen took Prince Jing and strode out without looking back, while Concubine Xian stood there and looked at the four people walking in front.

"Mother, let's go!" Prince Xuan held her hand and whispered.

The virtuous concubine retracted her gaze and let her son support her as she walked forward. She stopped at the intersection of the harem and the main road leading out of the palace and said solemnly in a low voice, "Xuan'er, there must be someone behind this. You must ask your father to send someone to investigate carefully. Don't let anyone plot against you again!"

Prince Xuan's face also became serious, and he nodded carefully: "Don't worry, mother. I will remember that you must be careful in the palace! Princess Hao is so aggressive this time. I am worried that she will slander you in front of the queen. You must remember to protect yourself! When I am free, I will definitely come to the palace to see you!"

"Okay, Xuan'er, don't worry. Her skills are still immature and she can't hurt mother! You should go back soon!" Concubine Xian patted his hand and comforted him.

While the mother and son were deeply in love, on the other side, in Fengyi Palace, Jiang Wenyuan quickly brought Prince Hao to the Queen.

Jiang Wenyuan was so angry that she immediately stepped forward and grabbed the Queen's hand, pouting and complaining, "Mother, it was Prince Xuan who wanted to harm me and Brother Hao, but Father softened his heart when Concubine Xian kowtowed and begged for mercy. Even Brother Hao stood up and begged Father to give Prince Xuan a chance. I was so angry. We almost died in the bandit's den, but Father let him go without even a little punishment! Father is so biased!"
