Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 558 The Emperor Loves His Eldest Son
The Crown Prince no longer wasted time talking to the First Prince. He raised his hand and a group of people rushed into the First Prince's palace.
The eldest prince's face twitched and he felt uneasy. He didn't want to find such unclean things in his shop.
But he never allows outsiders to come in, and he is on high alert against every stranger, so it should be difficult to find an opportunity to frame him.
"Keep a close eye on them all, in case someone has dirty tricks and wants to release some evidence." The eldest prince said coldly.
"Don't be nervous, my dear brother. You have a lot of people in your palace, and you have so many guards. It's not easy to do this."
Yes, the emperor favored the eldest prince and allowed him to keep a group of guards with high martial arts skills in the palace, as long as these people did not step into the harem.
The other princes, including the crown prince, only had some ordinary guards, and the rest were eunuchs.
The eldest prince sneered at the prince's words and remained silent.
The imperial guards entered every room, from the kitchen to the warm room, from the study to the hall, and from one room to another.
After a day of hard work, night has fallen. There is no moonlight tonight. The imperial guards hold torches in their hands, and the flames lick the air, foreshadowing a sense of crisis.
"Found it." At this time, a guard rushed out from the room of the big house, holding an identical straw doll in his hand.
"Yes, it is also related to the destiny of Daze State."
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense. Everyone, whether it was the Imperial Guards or the people in the Crown Prince's Courtyard, looked incredulous.
The eldest prince actually practiced witchcraft and cursed the Great Marshland. He was the emperor's most beloved prince, enjoying wealth and glory, but why was he so confused? What was wrong with him?
Seeing that something had really been found, the eldest prince was stunned, and suddenly he raised his head and sneered.
"As expected, I was wondering why the Crown Prince suddenly wanted to search the Prince's Palace. It turns out he had already made preparations."
The Crown Prince frowned and said, "Brother, of all the princes, Father loves you the most. Although he didn't give you the title of Crown Prince, he treated you the best. Why do you still hate Father so much?"
"Hmph, you think you can pin the crime on me just by finding something like this? You're too naive. You think you can succeed by framing someone in any prince's palace. If that's the case, why would we all go to all this trouble to fight over it?"
"Big Brother, be careful with your words. You won't let anyone in here except Eunuch Qi. Who could possibly frame you? All your servants and guards are watching. The Imperial Guards can't do that."
The corners of the prince's mouth curled up slightly: "Big brother, please go ahead and explain things to father."
"No need to go, I'm here."
Following a deep voice, everyone quickly moved aside and knelt down to pay their respects.
The emperor took the straw doll and saw that it was full of needles and had words cursing the fate of the Daze Kingdom written on it. The emperor's face was extremely gloomy.
"This is your thing."
The eldest prince knelt on the ground, a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Father, you love me the most. How could I possibly curse the Great Marshland or you?"
"I am not a fool. If I don't enjoy my blessings and curse the Great Marshland, what good will it bring me?"
The emperor looked at the crown prince, his deep eyes puzzling. "This thing was definitely found in the eldest prince's palace?"
The Crown Prince's face showed regret. "Indeed, I believe that my eldest brother would not do such a thing, but the appearance of this thing is indeed incredible."
"What's so unbelievable? Someone is clearly framing me. Ha, the Crown Prince said he wanted to search the Prince's Palace, and I found something like this in my room. This is too much of a coincidence."
"Brother, are you saying that I arranged this? Not only me, but all my servants and followers haven't been to your palace in the past few years. To say that I framed you is far-fetched."
"I didn't say the Crown Prince framed me," the eldest prince said coldly, then looked at the emperor earnestly, "I am innocent. I truly am innocent. Please, father, give me justice. I would never do such a thing."
As he spoke, he pointed to the heavens and swore, "If I tell even one lie, if I really did such a thing, I wish to be struck by lightning and never be reborn."
But the emperor's face was cold and he seemed unmoved.
"This thing was found in your room. You never let outsiders in here, so what's going on?"
Qiao Lian'er was listening at the side, and always felt that the emperor's words seemed to carry some kind of hint.
And from the look on the emperor's face, she should have guessed that this was an internal struggle among the princes.
For the emperor, the most important thing is how the eldest prince can escape in a fair and honest way.
"I am also confused and don't understand. Witchcraft is a taboo in Father's heart. I love and respect Father. Even if it costs me my life, I will never disobey Father and blaspheme him like this."
The emperor slowly exhaled. "In that case, we have no choice but to initiate an investigation. Once the process begins, your freedom will be restricted until the facts are clear."
The eldest prince shuddered. Once a person was under investigation, there would be too much room for maneuver. By then, who knows what action the crown prince would take. He absolutely could not go that far.
He lowered his head, his eyes rolling, and suddenly turned his head away.
"Think carefully, who has ever seen or touched this thing? Confess quickly and I will give you a lighter punishment. Otherwise, I will not be able to save you."
Seeing the prince's threatening and tempting look, the servants' expressions changed.
They knew that if someone didn't come forward to take the blame, the entire family would be killed by the eldest prince.
After staring at each other and secretly competing for a while, an old woman came forward trembling and kneeling.
"Your Majesty, this straw doll was made by this old slave."
"Why are you doing this."
"Once, in a hurry, I bumped into the Emperor in the Imperial Gardens. I was fined my monthly salary and beaten with a stick. I felt bad for the Emperor and blamed the Crown Prince for not speaking up for me. So I decided to curse the Great Ze State and frame the Crown Prince to vent my anger."
The emperor thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, and the whole thing made sense.
He said, "Since you dare to do it and take responsibility for it, there is no need to implicate your family. Go down and get a glass of poisoned wine."
The old lady's face turned pale, she thanked him and stepped back with her legs swaying.
This time, Qiao Jianer deeply experienced that the emperor loves his eldest son and the people love their youngest son.
