After the prince was able to travel through time, he stopped rolling!

Concubine Zhao came all the way to the Qinzheng Palace. She thought to herself, "Your Majesty will definitely not ignore me and my child."

Arriving at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, Concubine Zhao stopped and said to the eunuch at the gate: "Eunuch, please tell His Majesty that I want to see you."

The eunuch nodded quickly and agreed, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. We will go right away." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao requests an audience." The eunuch said respectfully.

Emperor Xuanyuan was busy handling government affairs and replied without even raising his head: "Why are you here at this time? I still have official business to attend to. Let her go back." He thought it was just an ordinary request for an audience and did not take it too seriously.

The eunuch hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, please take a look! I see that the royal concubine's eyes are red from crying, and it seems that something has happened." He knew that if things were delayed because he did not report it in time, he might be punished.

Hearing this, Emperor Xuanyuan raised his head, frowned and asked: "Oh? Then Xuan."

The father-in-law felt relieved and hurried out to convey the order.

"Your Highness, please come in." The eunuch came out to inform Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao straightened her clothes and combed her hair to make herself look even more miserable. Then, she slowly walked into the Qinzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty..." As soon as she saw Emperor Xuanyuan, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but shed tears, her voice choked with sobs.

Her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, making people feel pity for her. I don't know if she was really sad or her acting was too good, anyway, the palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to look at her for fear of angering the emperor.

"You all go down"

Emperor Xuanyuan ordered all the servants in the palace to leave, leaving only his personal attendant Xiao Yuanzi and Concubine Zhao.

"My beloved, what happened? How can this be so disgraceful?"

"Your Majesty, please go and see the Second Prince! He was knocked unconscious by the Crown Prince in the street." Concubine Zhao directly reported the Crown Prince.

Then he wiped away his tears. If you didn’t know, you would have thought that the second prince was dying!

Before Emperor Xuanyuan could reply, Concubine Zhao continued, "I don't know how the Second Prince offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He actually treated his brother so harshly. Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for the Second Prince!"

"Let's go see the Second Prince."

Emperor Xuanyuan heard that his two sons were fighting, and that the crown prince had even severely beaten the second prince, who was older than him. In order to be fair, he decided to go and see it with his own eyes before making a decision.

Seeing Concubine Zhao's exaggerated performance, Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but frown.

He knew the prince's character. Although he sometimes acted unruly, he would never beat his brother in the street for no reason. Emperor Xuanyuan decided to investigate the truth of the matter himself, so he ordered the eunuch Xiao Yuanzi to

"Xiao Yuanzi, send someone to check the specific circumstances at that time."

At the same time, Emperor Xuanyuan went to visit Xuanyuan Fengyi. Walking into the second prince's bedroom, Emperor Xuanyuan saw Xuanyuan Fengyi lying on the bed, and his heart was filled with sorrow. Xuanyuan Fengyi had multiple injuries on his body, especially his face, which was so swollen that it was almost impossible to see his original appearance, and it was unbearable to look directly at him.

Emperor Xuanyuan asked the imperial physician beside him with concern: "How is the Second Prince's injury?"

The imperial physician knelt down and reported

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince was injured all over his body. Fortunately, his lungs were not injured. He will recover after a period of recuperation."

Hearing this news, Emperor Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he looked at Xuanyuan Fengyi again, anger surged in his heart again.

He thought to himself, "Why would the prince treat his brother like this? It's impossible for him to protect the prince."

At this time, the second prince woke up properly.

"Father~" He is in his 20s, but he feels a little pitiful. Looking at the second prince like this

"What happened between you and the Crown Prince?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked in a deep voice

"Father, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince treated me so harshly for an outsider. I feel so wronged."

"What outsider?"

"He is General Shangguan's son, Shangguan Hao. He had an argument with my friend and wanted to help his friend, but then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came up and beat me without any reason." The second prince really felt wronged. He didn't know what he had done wrong.

When Emperor Xuanyuan heard that he was the only legitimate son of the Shangguan family, he didn't know what to say about this second son.

"Forget it, I will investigate it and make a decision on right and wrong."

"Thank you, Father." The Second Prince thought that Emperor Xuanyuan would punish the Crown Prince.

Emperor Xuanyuan's face was as gloomy as water. He turned to Concubine Zhao and said, "My beloved concubine, please take care of your kindness first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

After saying that, he took Xiao Yuanzi away.

The little prince also returned to the East Palace, and the eunuchs around Emperor Xuanyuan came

"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you."

Of course the little prince knew what this was all about. It is said that when one is angry, one is prone to make some big decisions impulsively, so the little prince tried his best to jump around Emperor Xuanyuan's bottom line.

Originally, it would only take half an hour to get to the Qinzheng Palace, but the little prince dithered for two or three hours before letting Emperor Xuanyuan see him.

"Father, your son pays his respects to you." The prince saluted and stood aside.

"Why did you beat your second brother in the street?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked harshly.

The prince bowed his head and replied, "I didn't do it on purpose. It was my second brother who first beat someone else's son without knowing the reason."

"Indiscriminate? How is he indiscriminate?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked.

When the prince heard what Emperor Xuanyuan said, he told him the whole story. It turned out that all this was done by those lackeys around Xuanyuan Fengyi. They were jealous of Shangguan Hao's talent, deliberately angered Shangguan Hao, and then took advantage of the fact that the second prince was unaware of the inside story and instigated him to vent his anger for them.

Emperor Xuanyuan was silent for a moment after listening to the prince's story. He knew that the prince was willful and reckless, but he didn't expect that he would beat his brother in the street. It was really too much. So he said

"No matter what, it is wrong for you to hit someone. As a prince, you should know how to restrain yourself. Considering that this is your first offense, I will give you a lighter punishment and sentence you to be confined to the imperial mausoleum for a month to reflect on your mistakes."

When Xuanyuan Ruize heard this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and felt a little regretful. This second brother is not strong enough! Why didn't the emperor abolish his position as the crown prince? It was a waste of his efforts to beat him up.

On the surface, he pretended to be full of remorse and kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. He thought that although he was confined for a month, at least it left a bad impression on the court officials, which would be beneficial for future planning.

On the other hand, Concubine Zhao was secretly pleased when she learned about Emperor Xuanyuan's treatment of the crown prince. She thought her plan was half successful, and as long as the crown prince could be punished, she would have a chance to make Emperor Xuanyuan depose him in the future.
