Confiscated property and exiled? I and the charlatan prince are competing against each other

The seal on the box had not been removed, the red cloth belonging to Princess Chen's dowry had not even been untied, and even the gift list was very complete.

However, the things found in each palace were missing half of the items on the gift lists.

"So, it was the five princes who stole things from Prince Chen's Mansion?"

"Five princes teamed up to empty Prince Chen's mansion?"

"Listen to this for yourself. Is it so outrageous that you dare to believe it?"

The people in the imperial city were shocked, but did not dare to speak loudly.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jing glanced at his five sons kneeling below and sipped a cup of hot tea.

"I don't know when such a talented person appeared in this imperial city."

"We were able to empty the entire Prince Chen's Mansion in front of thousands of imperial guards."

"Second brother, tell me, do you support these people?" Emperor Jing put down his teacup and looked at Shi Xianbin with interest.

"Father, I am wronged." Shi Xianbin quickly argued: "If it weren't for the Golden Wing Guards, I would not know why the things from Prince Chen's Mansion appeared in Prince Xian's Mansion."

"You don't know? What about the third brother? Tell me about it." Emperor Jing turned his gaze to Prince Jing Shi Xujun.

"Your Majesty, I don't know." Shi Xujun replied with a bow.

As Emperor Jing's eyes swept over, the remaining three princes all shook their heads and protested their injustice.

Emperor Jing sneered from above: "No one knows. No one has the ability to do that."

"Could it be that I asked the Imperial Guards to deliver the things to your palace, and then asked the Golden Wing Guards to find them in your palace?"

"Father, I think this place is haunted." The youngest Prince Rui, Shi Zerui, said weakly.

"Ridiculous!" Emperor Jing snorted coldly: "I think this evil only comes from people's hearts."

"Since the stolen items from Prince Chen's Mansion were found in your house, according to the gift list, you will have to find the missing parts."

"Father, this is unfair. The theft in Prince Chen's Mansion has nothing to do with me." The virtuous prince cried out in despair.

Emperor Jing slammed the table in anger and shouted coldly: "The things disappeared from the sight of the Imperial Guards because the Imperial Guards failed to guard them properly. They appeared in your palace inexplicably, which means that your palace is not well guarded."

"If you can send money and property today, you can send evidence of false accusations tomorrow."

"I don't care what you do. I just want these things to appear in the Treasure Pavilion in three days."

“Father…” The virtuous prince was about to speak, but the prince beside him had already bowed his head: “Your Majesty, I obey your command.”

As they left the Imperial Study, Prince Xian was unconvinced and chased after Prince Jing: "Third brother, these things in Prince Chen's Mansion have nothing to do with us. Father arranged this just to make us pay out of our own pockets to fill the gaps."

"We are all innocent, why do you accept orders?"

"Second brother, is there no doubt that Prince Chen is guilty of treason?" Prince Jing's face showed a cold expression: "He can't prove that he was framed, so he can only be exiled."

"We cannot prove the theft of the Prince Chen, and the items were found in our own house, so we can only make up for it according to the gift list."

After saying this, Prince Jing left quickly without waiting for Prince Xian's reaction.

As they returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, Prince Jing's mood sank immediately.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. The property in Prince Chen's Mansion was supposed to be confiscated anyway. Now that it's been stolen, it's normal for His Majesty to be angry." The staff comforted him.

Prince Jing was so angry that he sneered: "If it was really confiscated, why didn't they put it in the national treasury, but put it in the treasure house instead?"

Cangzhenge was the private treasury of Emperor Jing.

The things were put into Emperor Jing's pocket. If Henian could still turn things around and return to the capital at that time, it would not be a problem for Emperor Jing to take out all the things and return them to Prince Chen's Palace.

"For the crime of treason, he was only demoted to a commoner and exiled, and was even given the Golden Feather Guards to protect him." Prince Jing smiled sadly, "Father, oh father, we are both your children, how can you be so partial to us?"

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words." The staff reminded urgently.

Prince Jing's expression darkened.

He could send Shi Henian to Lingnan.

He also has the ability to prevent him from ever returning to the imperial city!
