C285 One Stone Three Birds
"Your Ladyship, King Chu and Eldest Prince have been taken away by Commander of Praetorian Guard." Chunrong just came in from outside and called the palace maids out.
"Very good." Only then did Consort Long start to take off her headwear.
"Your Ladyship, aren't you going to plead on King Chu's behalf?" Chunrong went forward and removed Consort Long's headdress.
"King Chu entered the Palace in the middle of the night. Other than the Emperor, who else knows? If Bengong went, wouldn't it be me who gave him something to use against him?" Consort Long only felt that a huge stone had been placed down in her heart.
"It is this servant who is foolish."
" How is Tang'er? "
"According to Your Ladyship's instructions, she is still sick these few days. Tonight after taking the medicine, she went to sleep early. "
"En, after he knows, he will know Bengong's good intentions. No matter what, he cannot participate in this matter, at least on the surface."
"Your Ladyship's means are brilliant. One stone three birds."
"Alright, no need to say anymore." Consort Long took off her brocade clothes and let Chunrong serve her as she fell asleep.
Chunrong put down the curtain and heard Consort Long say, "If there is any situation, come and inform Bengong at any time."
"Yes."
In the Imperial Study.
The study room was brightly lit. The Emperor was not there. In the huge study room, only Yu Longchen and Yu Longzi were standing.
The one who was furious was Yu Longzi, "Ruoqing and that palace maid are both your people?"
Yu Longchen looked at the Emperor's jade throne and did not reply.
"I was too anxious." Yu Longzi let out a self-deprecating humph. Smart people would never blame their opponents for having problems. They would always find problems with themselves first.
"Since it has already come to this, there is no point in talking anymore." After a long time, Yu Longchen finally said this.
"We have all been played by Consort Long. This time, you think you are a chess player, but you never know you are a chess piece." Yu Longzi looked up at the sky and smiled at the two of them. He was full of bitterness.
"Is that so?" The Emperor brought Gao Mao out. The anger in his eyes was obvious, "Zhen's son is a chess player. He treats Zhen as that chess piece."
"This son greets Royal Father." Yu Longzi knelt down. He still had to do what he was supposed to do.
However, Yu Longchen just stood there with a blank look in his eyes, as if he didn't know that the Emperor had come.
Looking at his expression, Yu Longzi felt relieved in his heart. The fury of the Emperor would most likely be directed at him.
The father and son just stared at each other. Gao Mao stood behind the Emperor and gave Yu Longchen a look, but Yu Longchen didn't move at all.
"Do you really think that Zhen has unlimited love for you? " The Emperor slammed the table heavily and coughed twice in excitement. He had been in a bad condition recently, and when Gao Mao found out about it, he was getting angrier and angrier, causing the illness to worsen.
"This son disdains Royal Father's love." Yu Longchen stood straight. There was no respect in his eyes for his father. He only interrogated the sinners. "I wonder why Royal Father called this son and big brother here?"
"Disdain!? What disdain! "The Emperor clenched his fists and pressed his lips together. He coughed a few more times." Cough cough, Gao Mao, bring the palace maids up."
" Royal Father's body has yet to recover, so it's better to not worry about his mind. " Yu Longzi half stood up, now as long as he pretends to be heavier, the image in the Emperor's heart will only be a few.
The emperor didn't reply to him, but gave him a disappointed look. When Yu Longzi received that look, he only felt a chill run down his spine. Perhaps the punishment for this matter was even heavier than he thought.
The palace maid just now was brought up but she looked like she was about to die. When she saw the Emperor, her mind would not think. "It was Empress who told this servant to tell King Chu to sow discord between King Chu and Second Prince."
How could Yu Longzi let her slander the Empress? The Empress was not only his birth mother but also his help. His entire person was furious and looked at the palace maid with a red face. "bitch, if you continue to speak nonsense, I will..."
Hearing the Emperor's dissatisfaction towards him, he knew that the memory of tonight had also harmed the Empress.
"What!? What do you want? You want to show off your prestige as a prince in front of me? ! Don't forget that everything you have right now is given by me!" The Emperor raised his hands excitedly, and the anger on his face was the most obvious.
"Did Royal Father ask us whether we want it or not?" Yu Longchen clenched his fists and lowered his head to ask softly.
"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!" The Emperor slammed the table twice and almost stood up.
"It's all my son's fault. Royal Father, please calm down." Yu Longzi kowtowed and stood up in front of the Emperor, "Royal Father, calm down."
"Why must you force Zhen?! Why?!" The Emperor roared at Yu Longzi and stood up from the jade chair. He walked around the table and stood in front of Yu Longzi. "You are Zhen's eldest son. Why do you have to use this matter?! Why! "
" Royal Father prioritizes the dragon body. It is my son's fault for making countless mistakes. " Yu Longzi didn't know how to describe his current feelings. He was afraid, but he could only accept it.
The Emperor retracted his anger when he saw Yu Longzi admitting his mistake. He turned around and walked towards Yu Longchen. With every step he took, his anger deepened.
Yu Longchen didn't dodge. He faced the Emperor's gaze directly.
"What else do you want to do next?! Cripple me, the Emperor? " The Emperor's exaggerated mouth style had undoubtedly revealed the disappointment and slight guilt in his heart.
"When Royal Mother left, she was pregnant for a month. Does Royal Father know?" In comparison, Yu Longchen was very calm. Only the red veins in his eyes could see his emotions. "Royal Father is cuter than Royal Mother?"
The Emperor's face darkened, and there was some fear on his face. "How did you know?"
"Royal Father was so cruel to kill his own child and the person he loves the most!" When the palace maid spoke and admitted it to the Emperor herself, it really could not compare to the blow to Yu Longchen. "At first, I thought it was fake!"
"Zhen is the Son of Heaven! What he did will only be right." The Emperor did not intend to hide anymore, "Just like what you have found out, Consort Lan's matter is like this. But you must remember, Zhen is doing this for the sake of the world! "
"Haha, for the sake of the world?" Yu Longchen looked up with a self-deprecating look, "And for the sake of the throne!? "
The Emperor held his chest and closed his eyes. Gao Mao was scared out of his wits. He hurriedly supported the Emperor from behind, and Yu Longzi did the same thing.
The Emperor was just overwhelmed by anger and could not stand stably. He raised his finger and pointed at Yu Longchen." What right do you have? Zhen is your Royal Father! If not for Zhen, without this throne, how could you have such glory! "
"Other than the cold identity of King Chu, what else can Royal Father give me!?" Yu Longchen's face was extremely dark. It turned out that he still had some respect for this Royal Father. Now, the last bit of familial love had been grinded away.
"You! You..." The Emperor's hands were trembling, and his chest was heaving up and down.
" Hand me over to the person who killed Royal Mother to raise me. When Royal Mother died, did Royal Father come to take a look at me? ! The child in Royal Mother's womb belonged to Royal Father. What am I to Royal Father? " Yu Longchen pointed at himself and asked word by word.
"That is not Zhen's child, that is a bastard! A bastard!" The Emperor started to mutter to himself.
"Since things have come to this, what Royal Father wants to do will be up to you." Yu Longchen had completely given up his father-son relationship with the Emperor, and his voice was indifferent.
"You're very good! Very good!" The Emperor's decadent speech was fully translated in his words. After he finished speaking, he walked back with heavy footsteps.
Yu Longchen just stood there like that. When he looked back, he did not know when the palace maids had committed suicide.
Yu Longzi looked at Yu Longchen and didn't say a word. He clearly only wanted today's matter and he lost, but he wasn't as angry as before. Perhaps it was because Yu Longchen had also lost.
