As for the Third Prince, his heart was filled with regret. In the beginning, he had always thought that the Third Prince would definitely be able to sit on the throne. Who would have thought that because of the Sixth Prince, who originally had no sense of existence, the Third Prince would actually give himself away and be caught by the Emperor.
Moreover, the Third Prince had been thoroughly disliked by the Emperor, who had a strong desire for control.
The eunuch had served the Emperor his entire life and had a deep understanding of the Emperor. He understood that no matter how outstanding the Third Prince was, the Emperor would not choose him to be his successor.
The eunuch had to say that the Third Prince really did a good job of killing himself.
The Third Prince wanted to ask more, but the eunuch did not want to waste time on the Third Prince who was disliked by the Emperor. He only raised his hands and left.
Seeing the back of the eunuch, who did not care that he wanted to continue to ask, resolutely leaving, the Third Prince's face immediately turned ashen. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "A eunuch is a eunuch. He can't be seen in public."
Daring to treat him like this. When he sat on the throne, he would definitely be the first to be cut.
The Third Prince's trusted aide saw the Third Prince's ugly face and quickly comforted him: "Your Majesty, do you want to go beg the Emperor?"
"Beg what? The matter of me making a move on Sixth Brother has been found out by Father Emperor. If I go beg now, it's the same as seeking death. " The reason why the Third Prince dared to step on the Emperor's bottom line and spread his name so widely was because of his understanding of the Emperor.
Therefore, he was very clear why the Emperor had turned hostile. It was definitely because the Emperor knew what he had done.
Even if he did not succeed, with the Emperor's degree of suspicion, he was afraid that the Emperor would dislike him.
The Third Prince knew that begging the Emperor now was useless, so he directly went to beg the Empress.
The moment he saw the Empress, the Third Prince's face immediately became sorrowful. He hugged the Empress' knees and cried in a low voice.
The Third Prince's appearance was fifty percent similar to the Empress. When he cried, he had more of a woman's delicate and pitiful appearance. Not to mention that he was raised by the Empress. The Empress' heart instantly softened and she hugged the Third Prince into her arms. She softly said: "What happened, my son? Did the Crown Prince bully you again?"
A motherless thing actually dared to bully his child. This was simply overturning the heavens.
Thinking that if it wasn't for the Crown Prince's short-lived mother, the Crown Prince's position would have been taken by the Third Prince, the Empress felt particularly uncomfortable. Now that she saw the Third Prince crying, the Empress instantly thought of this matter, and her face became even more gloomy.
Seeing the Empress vent her anger on the Crown Prince, the corners of the Third Prince's mouth curled imperceptibly under his lowered head. However, he continued to shake his head and said, "No, it's not the Crown Prince. It's Father."
"Your father?" Hearing the Third Prince mention the Emperor instead of the Crown Prince, the Empress was stunned. She asked in confusion, "What happened to your father?"
"Father asked me to go to the Southern City to provide relief."
Thinking of this, the Third Prince gritted his teeth. Nancheng was now a dead city. Whoever went there would die. Now that the Emperor wanted him to go to Nancheng, it was clear that he wanted him to die.
He only wanted to kill the insignificant Sixth Prince, but his Imperial Father wanted his life. Thinking of this, the Third Prince felt unwell.
"What?" Hearing the Third Prince mention Nancheng, the Empress's beautiful face instantly turned pale.
Even if the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, she had heard about Nancheng. For the sake of Nancheng, the expenses of the harem were reduced a lot. She also heard that the imperial physicians who were sent to develop the prescription died one after another. The Emperor actually wanted her son to go. This was clearly asking for her son's life.
The Empress's face instantly turned white. She quickly sat up from her seat and said loudly, "Your Imperial Father is really muddle-headed. Is Nancheng a place you can go to? I'll go find him. "
After the Empress finished speaking, she immediately hurried out.
At this time, the Emperor sat at the top and looked at the Sixth Prince who was standing below.
Because the Sixth Prince had eaten more food during this period of time, his small face had become rounder. His originally short stature had also grown a lot taller. However, compared to his peers, he was still a little short.
The Emperor looked at the Third Prince who had become fat but still looked thin and small. He said with emotion, "It's Imperial Father who let you down."
The Emperor could say this, but the Sixth Prince did not dare to accept it.
"Imperial Father is too serious. This son has food, clothes, and books. It's not bitter at all."
The Sixth Prince looked at the Emperor with admiration. He looked like a brainless fan who saw his idol.
As long as one was a human, they would especially want to be worshipped. Even the Emperor who was above tens of thousands of people was no exception.
The Third Prince would also show an expression of worship. It was a pity that he had been spoiled by the Emperor all these years. Most of the time, he would pretend to speak. So when the Sixth Prince showed an expression of worship, the Emperor actually had a look of nostalgia.
He could not remember how long it had been since he was looked at like this.
Just as the Emperor was reminiscing, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Because she was afraid that the Third Prince would be taken to Nan Cheng by the Emperor without her knowing, the Empress kicked open the door despite the eunuchs trying to stop her. After she came in, she directly said: "Emperor, how can you let my son go to Nan Cheng? Is Nancheng a place for people to go? "
The Empress said anxiously because she was worried about the Third Prince. But when these words came out, it made the Emperor frown.
All the land under the sky belonged to the Emperor. Even if Nancheng was dead, it was still his territory. What was a place for people to go?
If she really wanted to argue with this sentence, wouldn't she also say it to him?
Moreover, he had just sent someone to inform the Third Prince of this matter, and the Empress ran over aggressively. He did not know whether to say that the Empress's hand was too long or that the Third Prince was too arrogant.
The Emperor lowered his eyes: "Empress, you overstepped."
The Empress and the Emperor had been husband and wife for 15 years. The two had always been respectful to each other. Even if the Emperor had many favorite concubines, the Empress was the most respectful one.
At this moment, the Empress was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize that her actions just now were a bit too much.
The Empress hurriedly said, "Chenqie is too worried about my son. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me and sympathize with chenqie's love for my son."
After the Empress finished speaking, she did not wait for the Emperor to speak and said again, "Nancheng is too dangerous. I hope Your Majesty can send someone else."
The Empress paused and added, "The Crown Prince is the elder brother. Naturally, this matter should be …"
"Empress …" Without waiting for the Empress to finish, the Emperor scolded.
In the past, the Emperor did not speculate about the Empress and the Third Prince with the worst thoughts. The Emperor always felt that the Empress was exceptionally virtuous and the Third Prince was also exceptionally generous. At this moment, after discovering the Third Prince's true colors, he also saw the Empress.
