Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

"Don't kill me, don't kill me." Concubine Han waved her hands in fear: "I am your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you. Please don't kill me."

She had always lived a life of luxury, with fair, tender and slender skin, so the mark on her neck from being pinched by five fingers was particularly conspicuous, red with a hint of green.

Seeing that the eldest prince wanted to kill even his own mother, both the servants in Qixiang Palace and the guards brought by the prince showed a look of disgust.

Even if a person like this wants to seize the throne, can he become the ruler of the world?

If the eldest prince really became the emperor, it would be a disaster for the court and the people of the world.

"Mother, you are crazy. I am your son. How could I have such thoughts? Mother is not in her right mind. Don't speak nonsense and slander your son."

"Mother, you need to rest in your current condition. I came to visit you because I was worried about you. I think you were frightened by his clothes. But I am under house arrest, so there is nothing I can do."

As he said this, he walked towards Concubine Han.

Concubine Han became more and more frightened. She had nowhere to hide in the corner, so she hugged her head with her hands and squeezed her body against the wall.

"Don't kill me, Mother did something wrong, Mother will change, Zhao'er, please don't kill me, wuwuwu."

One hand was trembling as it pressed against his neck. He was in a state of daze, as if he was going to lose his life in the next moment.

The emperor arrived at some unknown time, accompanied only by Eunuch Qi and two guards.

There was no expression on his face as he watched this scene.

The eldest prince noticed something, turned around and looked, his whole body suddenly froze.

As the Son of Heaven, the emperor is majestic without even getting angry. The less emotion he shows, the more terrifying he is.

"Father, Father." The eldest prince spoke tremblingly.

"Even if your mother has done a thousand wrongs, you should not have the intention to kill her. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, and the same is true in reverse." The emperor said slowly.

"You are already twenty-two years old. You are no longer at the age to act recklessly. This is not a moral principle, but a human code that is followed by everyone from humans to animals."

The emperor's tone was calm, and he didn't sound like he was preaching, but it made the eldest prince extremely uneasy.

The prince killed his mother, which is a serious crime and unforgivable. If the emperor confirms that he is going to do this, what hope is there for his life?

He quickly knelt down, took two steps on his knees, hugged the emperor's thigh, and looked up to beg: "Father, Zhao'er did not do this. Zhao'er is innocent. Who saw it? I wanted to kill my mother. It's just that I am under house arrest and I am not as proud as before. Someone took advantage of my visit to my mother to make trouble."

"It's true that once you fall, everyone will step on you."

He turned to look at the Crown Prince, his eyes full of sarcasm. "In the dead of night, the Crown Prince isn't sleeping properly, constantly keeping an eye on me. I'm just thinking of my mother, but the Crown Prince also has a mother, yet he can't understand my feelings. He still wants to slander me. Brother, can you live with your conscience?"

The Crown Prince bowed to the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have already gone to bed. I heard that there was some unusual movement in Qixiang Palace. I was worried that something might have happened to the Imperial Concubine. My brother is under house arrest and cannot be freed, so I came to check on the situation."

"I didn't expect to come here and see this."

The emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he did not blame the prince.

The prince continued, "My eldest brother has not yet explained how the pinch mark on Concubine Han's neck came about."

"I don't know. When I entered Qixiang Palace, I saw this mark on Mother's body. Maybe someone wanted to harm Mother, but when they knew someone was coming in, they left in a hurry."

The prince walked to Concubine Han and took a good look at the pinch marks on her neck.

"But this pinch mark looks exactly like the one on my eldest brother's hand, and it was definitely made by his right hand."

"The inner side of the thumb of the eldest brother's right hand was injured in his early years, leaving a raised scar. Therefore, the area where he pinched his neck is more sunken and redder. Moreover, the length of this hand also matches that of the eldest brother."

The Crown Prince's analysis made the eldest prince's face turn pale.

He thought that if he denied it flatly, the case would be dropped. Although there were still doubts about him, it was at least better than having it confirmed.

Everyone's eyes fell on the eldest prince's hand, and they saw that it was just as the prince had said.

The fact that the eldest prince tried desperately to hide his hands in his sleeves also proved that he was guilty.

Hearing the commotion, many concubines also came. Seeing that the eldest prince had the intention to kill his mother and even put it into action, they were all shocked, and then they were all glad that no such disaster was born.

The prince laughed and said, "If I hadn't arrived in time, Concubine Han would have been dead in Qixiang Palace, and even her own mother would have been killed. Big brother, your thoughts are very dangerous. If it goes a step further, and becomes more serious, what will you do?"

There was a hint of darkness in the emperor's eyes.

The prince did not mention the key sentence, but he thought of it.

If he even killed his biological mother, then what about him as his father? If one day he displeases the eldest prince, will the eldest prince think of taking his life?

Or maybe the eldest prince has already developed a rift with him after being punished last time, and who knows when he might be thinking of taking revenge?

That night, he realized how dark the eldest prince's heart was.

He had been kept in the dark for so many years.

If the previous actions against the Qiao family were a clique attacking dissidents, then what happened tonight was pure evil.

How could such an evil creature be kept? Keeping him by your side would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble.

Looking at the crazy and terrified Concubine Han, and then at the vicious eldest prince, the emperor thought that both of them had been his most beloved people, and that he had been happy to have this mother and son for so many years. For a moment, he felt dazed and confused, as if he had had a big dream.

"Prince, what do you think I should do to punish the eldest prince?"

Chu Yaoce didn't expect that the emperor would ask him this question, but he immediately came to his senses.

The emperor also suspected him and wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate a competitor, with the ultimate goal of coveting the throne.

No matter what, what the emperor cares about most is the throne. Until the day he dies, all the princes must behave themselves.

He said, "Over the years, my eldest brother has been very filial to my father and Concubine Han. Everyone in the palace has witnessed this, and I believe that my father can also feel it firsthand. What happened tonight was probably just a momentary impulse and confusion, and it does not represent my eldest brother's character. Besides, Concubine Han is also safe and sound. I hope my father will give me a light punishment. If my eldest brother can learn from this lesson, he will never mention this matter again and everything will go on as usual."

These words seemed to be spoken on behalf of the eldest prince, and they were spoken very sincerely.

However, the emperor extracted several key words: filial piety, personal feelings, and character.
