Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

After being reminded by Tang Xi, Ji Qichen observed the emperor's expression.

He really didn't know what his father meant, so he asked directly, "I wonder why your father looks at me like this?"

The emperor did not speak, but the queen spoke first with a complicated look in her eyes: "Qi Chen, the prince's matter is related to you."

Ji Qichen: “Ah?”

Why?

The emperor didn't think that the third prince would harm the crown prince. After all, he knew exactly how many people were under the third prince's command. There was no one at all!

Moreover, apart from the fact that the Third Prince bought a restaurant a few days ago and went out frequently, the Third Prince seldom left the palace before.

These masked men are obviously specially trained assassins. The Third Prince has no time to train assassins!

But the evidence pointed to the third prince.

The emperor felt that the second prince might also be involved!

Anyway, he just didn't believe that the third prince had the ability to do such a thing.

To be honest, the Queen didn't believe that the Third Prince could assassinate the Crown Prince.

Even if the Third Prince succeeded in the assassination, wouldn't the Second Prince be the one who benefited in the end?

After seeing this, she couldn't imagine what benefit the Third Prince could get!

Mu Tangxi also fell silent. Who put the blame on the third prince?

Don’t you know that the third prince is the most unlikely person?

The second prince narrowed his eyes slightly. Third brother, oh third brother, this can't be blamed on him. He was also wronged. So before father and the others found out, he could only let them misunderstand third brother.

If time wasn't urgent, he wouldn't have chosen his third brother as the worst choice!

So who framed him?

There was a fierce glint in the second prince's eyes. He wanted to make that person's life a living hell!

If he didn't know that the prince almost died, he would have thought that the prince had staged a conspiracy to frame him!

Ji Qichen looked at his father blankly, "I didn't know that I had anything to do with the Crown Prince."

Mu Tangxi observed the three people in front of him and thought that it was very good. No one present thought that the third prince was related to the prince's affairs.

The emperor actually didn't believe it. No matter how suspicious he was, he didn't think the third prince had the ability to assassinate the crown prince.

But, "Qi Chen, this is your raccoon slave's hair, right?"

The eunuch next to him came up, holding a blood-stained black suit with yellow and black hair on it.

Ji Qichen stared blankly at these familiar furs, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Finally, he just pointed at the hair in disbelief and said, "Those people even touched my Jinjin?!"

Mu Tangxi lowered his head and tried hard to suppress his smile:...

emperor:……

Queen:......

The second prince was about to open his mouth to put the blame on his third brother, but he was choked by this sentence.

Ji Qichen was certainly not that stupid, he just couldn't explain why his cat slave's fur was on the body of the assassin who was trying to kill the prince, so he could only divert attention.

If he had enough power, he wouldn't have to act stupid like this.

Mu Tangxi straightened his face and explained, "Your Highness asked a eunuch in the palace to send that raccoon to the Third Prince's residence, so it is possible that the eunuch has a problem and wants to frame Your Highness."

Last night, Ji Qichen told all the big and small things in the palace, including that he asked a eunuch to send Jinjin to the third prince's house.

The second prince's face changed slightly. That eunuch was his man!

That’s right, he really asked the eunuch to pluck the hair. He didn’t expect that the Third Prince’s wife would be so sharp and think of this matter so quickly!

The emperor asked the chief eunuch to find the eunuch who was transporting the raccoon.

The Second Prince's gaze began to wander behind Ji Qichen and Mu Tangxi.

Oh, no, where is the servant he sent over?

He even planned to let the servant come forward as a witness!

Could it be that my third brother didn’t bring that person here...right?

The second prince glanced at his third brother expressionlessly and thought to himself that he was very lucky.

While the chief eunuch was looking for someone, the emperor asked Ji Qichen where he went after seeing him.

Ji Qichen said calmly: "I took Tangxi to visit my mother, and then..."

He paused and continued, "Then he left the palace and went straight back to the mansion for lunch. As soon as he finished lunch, a servant came running in to report the incident, so we rushed over."

The second prince noticed that his third brother paused in the middle of his speech, and immediately asked, "Third brother, did you miss something just now? What happened after you went to visit Lady Yu?!"

The emperor and the empress had subtle expressions. They had been in the palace the whole time, so they knew what happened when Ji Qichen went to see Yu Meiren.

The Queen thought that Concubine Yu was crazy. The Third Prince was a prince after all. How could she dare to treat him like this? What else could she say but crazy?

Of course, she didn't sympathize with the third prince, she just felt a little sad.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, the queen spoke first: "The Second Prince misunderstood. The Third Prince did leave the palace directly after meeting Lady Yu."

The second prince changed his attitude instantly, and said to his third brother with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, third brother, I just thought of my eldest brother who was still unconscious in the room and I was anxious for a moment, so..."

He specifically mentioned that the prince was seriously injured.

After hearing this, the queen subconsciously glanced into the room, her eyes filled with tension and worry.

The emperor also glanced at the room where eunuchs and palace maids were coming and going, carrying clean water in and bloody water out.

When the chief eunuch brought the person over, the eunuch looked terrified.

The emperor examined the eunuch and asked sternly, "Are you the eunuch who helped the Third Prince send Li Nu out of the palace?"

The eunuch stared at the ground, not daring to look around, "It's a slave."

"When did you leave the palace and when did you come back?"

The eunuch had beads of sweat on his forehead, but luckily he had prepared these words long ago. "I was ordered by the Third Prince to carry the cat to the Third Prince's residence at about the hour of Mao, and returned to the palace at about the hour of Chen."

"Did you give the raccoon slave to other people during the journey?"

The young eunuch looked embarrassed, "This...I gave it to a servant in the Third Prince's mansion. There is no one else except him."

He spoke exactly as the Second Prince had instructed, and the only thing left to do now was to identify the servant!

"What does the boy look like and what is his name?"

"Your Majesty, that servant is the one behind the Third Prince..."

Hearing this question, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said, pointing behind the third prince...

The eunuch was confused, where is the person? !

This is not what we planned!

The second prince looked at the eunuch with disdain. He didn't know how to adapt. Didn't he observe before coming in?

Who can't tell now that he is acting?

The emperor also fell silent. He looked behind Ji Qichen and saw that besides the Third Prince's wife, there was only a maid.

So where is the servant that the eunuch is referring to?
