Chapter 401: King Rui’s Thoughts
The captain of the guards' heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He looked up and saw that Prince Rui was only scolding him but not angry.
Come to think of it, what King Rui said is right.
After all, the emperor only asked them to come and search for evidence, and did not say what to do with everyone in the Eastern Palace.
When he rushed in forcefully with his guards, several servants were really frightened.
Guard Captain Li couldn't help but look up to Prince Rui. Regardless of whether the prince was framed or not, Prince Rui did have a deep brotherly love for the prince and also took care of the two children.
*
Thinking about this,
Guard Captain Li bowed and apologized to King Rui.
"Well, I was reckless! The dragon robe has been found, I will go back and report now!"
"Well, tell the guards at the door to move aside. I will take the two nephews away first. Of course, their mother will have to follow as well, since the two children are still young."
"This? Wait a minute, Prince Rui!"
The chief guard stammered,
"Prince Rui, the dragon robe was found in Yiqiu Courtyard, and Concubine Fang is the owner of this courtyard.
That is why I asked the guards to guard the door to prevent her from entering or leaving. "
The chief guard was obviously in a dilemma. If they found evidence of the crown prince's treason, then no one in the East Palace would be spared.
King Rui shouldn't have interfered at this time.
*
Prince Rui also saw the captain of the guards' dilemma. This was exactly what he wanted to hear. He pretended to take a step back and said,
"Since the captain of the guards is in a difficult situation, I will go into the house and comfort the two ignorant nephews, okay?"
Cold sweat broke out on the captain guard's forehead. He was not stupid. The scene in his mind instantly emerged when Concubine Fang fell off the cliff and Prince Rui searched for her sleeplessly and desperately.
A light suddenly flashed in his mind, and it exploded, as if he had discovered some huge secret. His eyes widened and he took a few steps back.
Liang Hengrui didn't know what he was thinking and thought he was too disrespectful.
"Captain of the Guards, is it wrong for me to care about my nephew?"
There was already a hint of unkindness in King Rui's voice.
*
He is angry.
At this moment, he was angry with his mother, who had agreed not to involve Fang Qingge in this matter. But he never expected that his mother would still deceive him.
This Li Liangdi is even more hateful. You don’t need to think too much to know that it must have been her suggestion.
She actually persuaded her mother to change the location of the hidden dragon robe and directly diverted the blame to Fang Qingge.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what she is up to. What a great way to kill two birds with one stone!
Prince Rui was furious and looked at Li Liangdi who was lying on the ground with disdain. It was like looking at a dying person, and he had already sentenced her to death in his heart.
Since his mother wanted to protect this person, he would not let her live.
*
Amidst a myriad of thoughts in his mind, Prince Rui's eyes turned to Captain Guard Li again.
When the captain of the guards met Prince Rui's gaze, he couldn't help but shudder and secretly groaned in his heart. Prince Rui's eyes were too scary.
"Here, yes. I obey your command."
The captain of the guards raised his hand and asked the two guards to leave the door of the main house.
"Please do as you wish, Prince Rui. I will take my leave first."
After bowing, the captain of the guards and several guards hurried to the imperial study to report, holding the dragon robe.
*
Liang Hengrui walked to the door of the main house and said to Eunuch Dong behind him,
"Knock on the door."
Eunuch Dong also knew that it was not normal for Prince Rui to pay too much attention to the other concubine.
"Knock knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door, but there was no movement from inside.
At this time, an old voice sounded in the crowd,
"Your Highness Prince Rui, how about I go and ask Concubine Fang and the young masters to come out?"
It turned out to be Nanny Jiang. With so much noise outside, she couldn't see Concubine Fang and her two daughters, and they felt very uneasy. She didn't want Prince Rui to have any contact with Concubine Fang.
Xiaodouzi also shouted loudly,
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, may I knock on the door and ask the masters to come out?"
"Prince Rui, shall we ask the master to open the door?"
When Prince Rui heard the conversations between the servants in Yiqiu Courtyard who were under the supervision of the guards,
I could also hear that they were worried that they would be in trouble for Qingge and her three daughters.
But he just disdained to pay attention.
*
He raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Dongzi, and Eunuch Dong understood and continued to knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door again, but it was unusually quiet inside as if no one was there.
King Rui guessed that Fang Qingge was worried that the children would be frightened and would not choose to come out! He couldn't help but curl his lips and smile.
He waved his hand and stepped forward, and Eunuch Dong hurriedly stepped aside to make way for the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
King Rui knocked on the door several times, trying to be as gentle as possible.
"Yuhao? Jianing? Don't be afraid, the emperor's uncle is here."
After calling softly a few times, there was still no movement in the room.
Prince Rui felt a little embarrassed and cursed him in his heart, "You little bastard."
*
At this critical moment,
In the inner room,
Fang Qingge came back with the babies. The first thing she heard was the commotion outside.
The mother and her two daughters looked through the curtains at the lit palace lanterns all over the yard, their expressions somewhat confused.
Then Fang Qingge heard outside the main house's door, Prince Rui whispered an order to Eunuch Dong to knock on the door.
For some reason, she suddenly felt uneasy.
My elder brother, Xiao Bajiao, secretly looked out the window, pricked up his little ears, opened his big eyes in confusion and asked,
"Mom? What's going on outside? Why are Madam Jiang and Xiao Douzi squatting on the ground?"
"Ah? Mother, and the wet nurse, Mumian and the others."
"Shh!" Fang Qingge quickly stretched out a finger to stop the two from talking.
"Don't make any noise yet, just listen. Xiao Qi, go and see what's going on."
"Yes, Master."
The robot Xiaoqi flew out with a gust of breeze.
*
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qi's voice came.
"Oh no, Master. Li Liangdi reported the Crown Prince for treason, and the hidden dragon robe was found in the old tree hole in our yard.
This is a frame-up conspiracy. According to Xiao Qi's machine brain analysis, this is most likely a conspiracy between Concubine Xiao and Prince Rui.
Master, what should we do? The enemy is coming fiercely, why don't you hide in the space quickly? "
Fang Qingge heard this,
"Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Qi, we still have the prince."
After understanding these words, Xiao Bajiao covered his mouth with his chubby hands and said in surprise,
"Mother, treason is a capital crime. Did the emperor's uncle frame father?"
Xiao Huajiao also widened his eyes, unwilling to believe that the emperor's uncle was a bad person.
But treason is a serious crime. They often watch TV dramas like this, and the punishment is beheading.
“Wuwuwu…Mother, I don’t want Daddy to chop off my head.”
*
Time was running out, and Fang Qingge didn't want to hide it from the babies anymore, so he quickly said,
"Don't cry, mother said that Prince Rui wants to be the crown prince, so he wants to defeat your father.
Remember, just keep these words in your heart. Don't cause trouble for your father. Let's go out and see what happens. "
"Hmm."
The two little babies quickly wiped their tears and clenched the small wooden swords in their hands.
This is the birthday gift that the prince father gave to the babies.
