Chapter 412 Detention
Chapter 412 Detention
"Brother Crown Prince, what are you talking about? Che'er didn't hurt you." Zhao Yuanche covered his lower abdomen in pain and began to groan.
"it hurts……"
"Che'er, my Che'er..." At this moment, Queen Zeng, supported by a group of palace maids, came running over.
As soon as she arrived and saw Zhao Yuanche like this, her eyes were already filled with tears.
The first thing she did when she arrived was to push Zhao Yuanzhen away, and then hug Zhao Yuanche's small body.
"Your Highness, what on earth did Che'er do to offend you that you are so dissatisfied with him? He is your biological brother, how can you take his life?"
"It wasn't me!" Zhao Yuanzhen denied hastily, "It was Zhao Yuanche who pushed me first. He was the one who wanted to kill me!"
“Empress, I saw with my own eyes that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who pushed the little prince.” The maid Xiaolian knelt on the ground, looking at the little prince’s body, her eyes red from crying.
"It's all my fault. I was careless and didn't keep an eye on the little prince. It's my fault."
"It was you! It was you who pushed Zhao Yuanche!" Zhao Yuanzhen pointed at her with one hand, "You slut, you deserve to be beaten to death!"
"Your Highness, how can you say that?" The maid Xiaolian had already knelt beside Zeng Wan'er and cried:
"I am just a little palace maid, how dare I do such a rebellious thing. It is obvious that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who hated the little prince first, so he wanted to kill him. Queen, you have to make a decision for the little prince."
The palace maid Xiaolian kowtowed while crying, her little body shaking, she must have been terribly frightened.
"You are confusing right and wrong!" Zhao Yuanzhen clenched his fists and stood up.
"Mother, I have no intention of harming Che'er!"
Zeng Wan'er hugged Zhao Yuanche and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen with cold eyes.
"You still say it's not you, then who are you!"
Empress Zeng could no longer maintain her dignified appearance.
"Your Highness, is this what His Majesty taught you? Che'er loves and respects you, why do you want to harm him!"
"Che'er's personal maid saw it with her own eyes. She is just a maid, but she slandered you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You are a Crown Prince, but you are so cruel. I will definitely seek an explanation from your father!"
"I said, no!" Zhao Yuanzhen thought that if his two guards were still around, they would definitely testify for him.
It’s a pity that they were beaten with a stick by their father yesterday and are still lying on the bed, while the other palace servants were all sent away by him.
Zhao Yuanzhen stared at Zhao Yuanche's body that was curled up like a shrimp and thought that he must be pretending.
He said to the Queen:
"If you have doubts about this matter, I have nothing to say, but now, if you don't send your brother to get treatment, he may not survive."
He was filled with resentment but didn't want to argue any further as he knew he couldn't explain it now.
He felt that the imperial physician would testify for him.
"Mother... it hurts..." Zhao Yuanche was in so much pain that he looked dying. He was so weak that he could not hear clearly what his mother and the crown prince were arguing about.
"Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly!" Zhao Yuanzhen roared, but the queen seemed to be stimulated by something, and her whole person became dazed. She just held Zhao Yuanche in her arms and cried.
As a last resort, Zhao Yuanzhen decided to go look for it himself.
When he left the Eastern Palace, he naturally had some unpleasant experiences because he was still under house arrest.
...the court.
"My loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all!" Zeng Guangren refused to admit it until his death.
The evidence of Mu Yun's crimes in his hands were the assassins he kept in captivity, as well as the evidence of the assassins' leader's dealings with Beiyan.
He had already thought of a story for the evidence he had obtained.
The reason for this statement was, of course, because the young general was a guest at Zeng's house that day and he was the one who discovered the identity of the assassin.
It's too late to say anything now.
Because Mu Yun first made it clear that those assassins obeyed his orders.
So all he can do now is to deny it.
"We'll know if it's true or not once we check!" Zhao Chongxiu forced Mu Yun to tell the truth, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
"Somebody come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of royal guards entered the palace.
"Imprison Grand Tutor Mu and Commandant Zeng!"
Mu Yun and General Zeng felt a chill in their hearts.
I was fine when I woke up this morning.
Mu Yun was still thinking about what His Majesty had just said about giving him a lighter sentence.
Before he was taken away, he was still trying to excuse himself.
"Your Majesty, the matter of keeping the assassins in captivity was instigated by General Zeng. I was forced to do so."
What he said is also true.
He just didn't believe that Zeng Guangren would dare to expose what happened back then.
"Your Majesty, you are innocent!" General Zeng still chose to deny it.
"You can't wrongly accuse me based on Grand Tutor Mu's one-sided words. I have worked diligently for the country for so many years!"
He still hasn't figured out why His Majesty suddenly suspected him, leaving him completely unprepared.
However, His Majesty remained completely unmoved.
Looking at the royal guards rushing into the palace, he repeated,
"Imprisoned!"
