Chapter 187 They are all rebellious sons!
His voice was deafening, carrying with it endless majesty and rage.
Everyone at the scene lowered their heads, not daring to look the emperor in the eye. They knew that this incident would cause an uproar, and the emperor's anger would be unstoppable.
Liu Tong, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and Xiao Quan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, were both nervous. They immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. We will do our best to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Qiao Rongjin pulled Qi You forward with everyone else to visit King Rui. However, King Rui had already been surrounded, so the mother and son could only watch from afar and had no chance to go up and talk.
The princess looked at Prince Rui with a distressed expression, "Your Highness, are you... okay?" She was asking about both the wound and other things.
"Father." Many of the children's eyes turned red when they saw King Rui like this.
When Chen saw Prince Rui covered in blood, her pupils shrank, but she said nothing.
Although there was no danger to life this time, the process was definitely thrilling.
Seeing the worried expressions of the children and the princess, Qi Heng shook his head and forced a smile, "It's okay, don't worry, princess, take the children back to the house."
Then, he looked at A Jin and his mother who were standing not far away. Seeing that they were also staring at him in a daze, Qi Heng's mood instantly improved.
Ajin and his mother still care about themselves.
The virtuous concubine also came over at this time. Seeing that her son was only injured on his hand and no other part of his body was injured, she was immediately relieved.
It was icy and snowy outside, and Prince Huai and Prince Chen were seriously injured. It was not a problem for them to stay outside, so Emperor Jingyuan ordered the two to be carried into the house.
The two were carried into two different rooms at the same time, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the imperial physician to treat them.
Everyone knew that the one with the most serious injuries belonged to Prince Chen. If Prince Chen was not rescued today, the fate of Dajing would be changed.
After all, King Chen had lost one of his hands, and everyone had seen him bleeding profusely. A minor sword wound could threaten a person's life, let alone a wound as big as King Chen's. It was hard to say whether the bleeding could stop.
Everyone looked at their noses and their noses at their hearts, not daring to breathe.
The angriest people were the ministers who supported Prince Chen. Their faces were extremely ugly. Now that Prince Chen had lost one hand, he was useless. All their plans over the years had gone down the drain. They gained nothing and were now in trouble.
Especially Chen Wang's uncle, Wen Zhaoxing, the Minister of War, almost bit his teeth to pieces, thinking about his nephew whose life or death was unknown, and his sister who fainted from the shock, his face was so dark that water could drip.
At this time, Qi Heng, whose wounds had been bandaged by the imperial physician, came out.
As soon as I came out, I felt the solemn atmosphere on the scene and my father's gloomy face.
"Come on, tell me how you and the third brother met those assassins? And how you escaped later." Emperor Jingyuan spoke slowly, suppressing his anger.
Upon hearing this, everyone present pricked up their ears and listened.
Upon hearing this, Qi Heng immediately said, "Reporting to the Emperor, I, your son..."
He told the story in detail, without hiding anything, about how he met King Chen, when he met the assassin, and how many waves of assassins he encountered.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan looked calmly at his fifth son who was slowly speaking in the hall, and the anger in his heart slowly dissipated.
Emperor Jingyuan was quite satisfied that the news was exactly the same as what the secret guards had reported to him.
His secret guards were dispatched from the very beginning, and everything was under his control, including the injuries of the second and third brothers. If their lives were in danger at that time, his secret guards would definitely come to the rescue.
As for the fifth brother, apart from the fact that he was not cruel enough, he had no opinion about him now. He also did not care that he did not save the third brother in time. After all, the two of them had never gotten along. This was a fact. And the last time the fifth brother went to provide disaster relief, the third brother took action at least twice, but the fifth brother still did not take his life after he came back. This was beyond his expectation. Now, it was good enough that they did not take his life while he was sick. As for helping, he, as the third brother's father, was embarrassed to talk about this matter.
It has to be said that the third brother has been jumping around in front of the fifth brother for so many years. If it weren't for his father, the emperor, who was suppressing him, he might have been killed by the fifth brother long ago.
Therefore, over the years, Emperor Jingyuan was satisfied with the Fifth Brother's intelligence and knowledge, and was willing to give him more attention.
In an instant, he thought of the prince again, and of all the information that had been presented to his desk a few days ago, and Emperor Jingyuan's anger grew even more.
The prince's fall caught him off guard and was also what made him most angry, because that was the prince he had worked hard to train!
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingyuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The second and third brothers were to blame for the Crown Prince's fall. Now the injury of the third brother has put an end to his thoughts. His stupid and self-righteous character was not suitable for this. This saved his life. Otherwise, he, as his father, would have to take action.
As for the second brother, Emperor Jingyuan's eyes were deep.
He is a selfish person who only cares about himself and not the people. He is vicious and intolerant. Even if he is full of talents, it does not matter. If such a person sits on the throne, Dajing will be finished, and these brothers and sisters will not survive. Therefore, it is even more impossible for him to sit on the throne.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingyuan felt as if he had aged ten years.
They are all traitors!
Seeing that His Majesty remained silent and his expression became increasingly grim, everyone became extremely worried.
Especially Concubine Xian, she looked at her son worriedly, then looked at Emperor Jingyuan. Such a thing happened today. His Majesty was already in poor health, and now such a thing happened again. Alas!
"Well, you are injured, so go down and rest." Emperor Jingyuan paused for a while before speaking in a hoarse voice.
"I am only slightly injured. I am fine. I will stay here to protect my second and third brothers."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan ignored it and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about, with an unfathomable expression.
Just then, a scream was heard.
"what!!!"
Emperor Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat, he stood up, a flash of worry in his eyes.
Everyone stood up suddenly.
Who else could this familiar voice be but Prince Huai?
Upon hearing the voice, Princess Huai and all of Prince Huai's wives, concubines and children were so frightened that they started crying quietly. Princess Huai was already in tears, but the door was closed, so she couldn't get in at all, and His Majesty wouldn't let her in either.
The ministers of the Huai Wang faction were even more nervous. Almost all of them were praying that nothing would happen to the Huai Wang's foot and that it would be intact!
The screams of Prince Huai were incessant, and the hearts of the people outside the door began to beat fast.
As the sound became smaller and smaller until it disappeared, after a long time, the imperial physician came out.
Looking at the sweat on the imperial physician's forehead, his pale face and serious expression, the hall suddenly fell silent.
