Chapter 191 Making a Game
Listening to the emperor's words, the Third Prince was heartbroken. He has always been different.
Before his younger brothers were born, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince were raised in the Old Summer Palace. He was the only prince in the palace, and his father only cared about him as a son. But now, the Emperor's words made the Third Prince heartbroken.
The emperor said that he was not worthy of being his eldest son.
"Huang Ama."
The Third Prince lowered his head in frustration.
But the emperor was angry. "The virtuous concubine is a concubine, with the same status as the vice empress, and has the power to assist in the management of the six palaces granted by me, and you..."
"You disrespect the Imperial Concubine and trespass into the palace of the Virtuous Imperial Concubine. You don't even take the Imperial Concubine seriously. Who else do you care about? Is this what your mother taught you? You are not only sorry to the Virtuous Imperial Concubine, but also to your mother and to me. This is unfilial."
"Although Ying's position is low, she is still your stepmother. You have no respect for etiquette and morality. Where is your filial piety? You have forgotten everything!"
The emperor was panting with anger, and he even thought in his heart.
He dared to break into Chengqian Palace and ignored the Imperial Concubine. Was it because he was dissatisfied with the power he had given to the Imperial Concubine, or was it because he did not take himself, the emperor, seriously?
The emperor stared at the Third Prince, who was about to speak.
At this moment, the Third Prince suddenly saw Concubine Qi.
Mother?
The Third Prince opened his mouth, but could no longer speak.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? What has Third Prince done wrong? You can punish me. It's all my fault. Third Prince..."
The emperor frowned, "Why are you here?"
There were even two young women following Concubine Qi. One of them he recognized because she was the wife he had chosen for Hongshi, and the other one should also be someone from Hongshi's backyard.
Concubine Qi hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, it's late this day, and the Third Prince hasn't returned to the Prince Residence for a long time. The women in the family are worried, so they came to Changchun Palace to tell me."
"I was worried. Later I found out that the Third Prince had come to Chengqian Palace, so I came to look for the child as well."
The emperor's headache became even worse. The matter was already a mess, and now Concubine Qi had also joined in the fun.
But it’s good that she came. The emperor shot a sharp look at Concubine Qi.
Does she, as his mother, know that the Third Prince has this idea?
Thinking of this, the emperor became even more angry.
After all, Concubine Qi had followed the emperor for many years, and seeing the emperor like this, she shuddered.
What mistake did the Third Prince make?
Her eyes swept over Concubine Xian who was standing quietly on the side, Ying Daimin who looked embarrassed, and her son who had a slap mark on his face.
Ying agreed?
Some people say that the Third Prince and Ying agreed to the argument.
Concubine Qi immediately said:
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is your son. If there is anything wrong with him, he will change."
Concubine Qi subconsciously pleaded for her son.
But the emperor found it even more ridiculous. Concubine Qi was really extremely stupid.
The emperor was furious. "Look at your good son, harassing his stepmother, disrespecting the emperor, and committing treason!"
what happened?
Concubine Qi was stunned. If such harsh criticism were to spread out, how would her son fight for the position in the future?
Dong E and Yining behind her both looked unhappy.
However, there was still confusion on Dong E's face, while Yining's face was filled with more panic and fear.
The emperor had been carefully observing the expressions of Concubine Qi and the other two. Looking at the appearance of the women in the Third Prince's harem, he gradually became suspicious.
"Listen to what your son said."
As he spoke, the emperor signaled Su Peisheng to repeat the whole story to Concubine Qi.
But before Concubine Qi could finish listening, she collapsed to the ground out of fright, and Dong E and Yining hurried to help her.
But Concubine Qi pushed their hands away, crawled on her knees to the emperor, and cried:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Third Prince is ignorant. He...he didn't mean that, Your Majesty."
"The Third Prince admires you the most. He grew up beside you. Your Majesty knows what kind of child he is."
Concubine Qi was in tears, her hair was disheveled, and she tried to pull the emperor's robe.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince must have been deceived and instigated by a villain, Your Majesty."
Concubine Qi cried and sobbed.
She has served the emperor for many years and had been favored in the past, so she knows the emperor well.
I don’t know about other things, but Concubine Qi remembers one thing very clearly.
The emperor would never allow anyone to covet his throne.
The fight for the throne among the nine princes was so dangerous. Now, among those who are competing with the emperor for the throne, how can they have a good ending?
The emperor would never tolerate this.
The third prince is confused.
But Concubine Qi is his mother, so what can she do? Even if she knows that her son has made a mistake, she has to do her best to protect him.
If his mother doesn't speak up for him, how can he count on others?
Concubine Qi begged desperately, but the emperor remained unmoved.
But suddenly, the emperor shouted:
"What do you know about the Third Prince?"
Concubine Qi realized that this was not said to her;
Concubine Qi turned her head and looked at Yining who was standing behind her.
The biological mother of her grandson.
"Your Majesty, she is just a female relative, what can she know?"
Yining was already trembling with fear, looking at the Third Prince helplessly.
Seeing her like this, the emperor became even more suspicious.
Yining was there with nowhere to turn to, feeling anxious and worried. She seemed to have made up her mind and shouted:
"I dare not deceive the emperor."
She kowtowed to the emperor several times.
The emperor had long noticed that the princess's expression was not right. It seemed that there was really a problem.
Under the pressure from the Emperor, Yining trembled and said:
"During this period of time, the Third Prince has mentioned his concerns to me many times, and I have been in a state of panic all day long. Today, the Third Prince made a big mistake, and I know that I can no longer cover up for him."
"Although I am of humble origin, I know that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and it is to Him I must serve with all my loyalty."
Having said that, Yining looked at the Third Prince hesitantly.
When the emperor saw her expression, he knew that this girl still had feelings for the Third Prince, and he couldn't help but feel impatient.
"If you tell the truth, I will forgive you if you conceal anything."
The emperor looked at Yining lying on the ground indifferently and said, "Then grant her death."
Yining collapsed to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my prince is still young and cannot be without a biological mother."
"I will tell you everything."
As she spoke, Yining looked at the Third Prince resolutely and started to cry.
"The Third Prince has not been to the backyard recently. He stays in the study every day. I thought he was studying, but that day I saw him composing a piece of music. The piece is called High Mountains and Flowing Water, which is... said to be the one Ying promised to play before."
"Afterwards, I discovered that my brother had written many love letters to Ying Da Ying, and even, even..."
"I know this is a heinous act and have tried to dissuade him many times, but my prince said... that he and Ying promised that they were both young, and the emperor."
Yining secretly glanced at the emperor's expression and said, "Just as you say."
The emperor ordered with a gloomy face.
Yi Ning gritted her teeth and said:
"The emperor is old, but the third prince is still young, and Ying is also young. When the prince ascends the throne, it will be easy to get Ying to agree. It's just a way of expressing my feelings now."
Concubine Qi knew that it was all over.
After Yining said this, she dumped everything out at once.
