Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Rebuke - In the main hall of Suowu Palace, Concubine Wan knelt in fear, not knowing how angry His Majesty would be, but she had to protect the eldest prince at all costs.

Emperor Shenwu walked to the main hall of Suowu Palace with a frosty expression. With a glance of his phoenix eyes, he saw that the three concubines were all there, including Noblewoman Shuixia and Concubine Li, and the eldest prince was kneeling trembling in fear.

Emperor Shenwu said coldly: "You don't have to kneel in Suowu Palace."

Emperor Shenwu pointed at Concubine Shuixia and Concubine Li and said, "You two should return to your own palaces and be confined to your houses. As for Concubine Jiang and Concubine Chen, both should return to their own palaces!"

Concubine Shuixia's pretty face turned pale, and she and Concubine Li slowly left the hall. Concubine Chen lowered her eyes and turned slightly: "I will take my leave."

Concubine Jiang looked at Concubine Wan hesitantly, only to see that Concubine Wan's usually arrogant face was now filled with panic.

Concubine Wan gritted her teeth and finally said, "Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding! Xuan'er would never do such a thing!"

The Emperor Shenwu laughed in anger, "Oh, so many people witnessed it, and you, as his mother, are still trying to make excuses for him! I really don't know how you usually teach the eldest prince, Zhou Chengxuan! Tell me yourself, what did you do!"

The eldest prince seemed to have used up all his courage. He trembled even more violently, his teeth clenched tightly and he couldn't speak.

Concubine Wan quickly stepped forward to block the Crown Prince. Concubine Jiang spoke up, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The most important thing right now is that Concubine Yi safely gives birth to the dragon fetus. We can investigate the Crown Prince's matter later. Concubine Yi and the Crown Prince have barely met. I don't understand why this could have happened!"

Emperor Shenwu had already anticipated this point. He issued an order: "Go and imprison all those around the Crown Prince, as well as those around Concubine Shuixia, Concubine Li, and Princess Mingzhu, in the Ministry of Punishment! I simply do not believe these shady and filthy individuals can remain hidden."

Concubine Wan raised her head with wide eyes: "Your Majesty, you are trying to convict your own son! Xuan'er is your eldest son!"

Emperor Shenwu looked at Concubine Wan without warmth: "And all the people close to Concubine Wan will be imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment!"

Concubine Wan fell to the ground: "Your Majesty! You are doubting me!"

Concubine Jiang couldn't bear it and said, "Your Majesty, although Sister Wan Fei is usually a little bit arrogant, she is definitely not the kind of person who would play these conspiracies and tricks. Please investigate!"

"Investigate openly? I am investigating openly. Zhou Chengxuan, tell me yourself, what exactly did you do?"

The eldest prince had already frozen when he heard that Concubine Yi was about to give birth to the dragon fetus. Now, hearing his father's accusation, he could no longer remain silent: "Father, this is all my fault. Why are you taking your anger out on my mother? Father, Concubine Yi killed my mother, Concubine Qian. Father, you are biased and protect her, but why can't I seek revenge on her? Did my mother, Concubine Qian, die in vain?"

The eldest prince had a mournful look on his face and his eyes were bloodshot. Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wan were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

Concubine Wan, in particular, murmured, "Xuan'er, what are you talking about? Concubine Qian died of illness. What does this have to do with Concubine Yi?"

The eldest prince shouted at the top of his lungs, "It was Concubine Yi! She was the one who killed Concubine Qian! Concubine Qian, you don't like her either. I don't want her child to be born!"

The pressure around the Emperor Shenwu dropped. He suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his foot to kick the eldest prince. Concubine Wan was so frightened that her face changed. She quickly hugged the eldest prince in her arms: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Xuan'er can't stand your kick!"
