This little movement of Ming Qi was ultimately not hidden from the people of the world.
HuangFu Hao died in the Crown Prince's hands and one did not know how it started to spread in the marketplace. Emperor Wen Hui had the intention to put HuangFu Hao's guards under house arrest but now the situation had become out of hand and if it was not controlled, one fear that there would be chaos.
But how would the people in the residence of Prince Qin sit still and await death? When the news reached the ears of the Qin country's Emperor, in just a short few days, there were people who rushed back to send a message, swearing to Emperor Wen Hui to give an explanation or else they would send troops to flatten Ming Qi!
If it was the previous Qin country, Ming Qi would naturally be able to contend with it but now there was the Great Liang with unknown ambitions lurking at the side like a tiger eyeing its prey. If there was another Qin country, then Ming Qi would really be finished.
With conclusive evidence, Emperor Wen Hui was helpless and could only lock the Crown Prince in prison. Even though he specially let people take care of him, but at the end it was still a step to sacrifice the rook to protect the general.
So the older Emperor Wen Hui got, the decisiveness he had when he was younger was finally worn away. Not to mention how this method would make other sons think, even if the officials saw it, they would feel bitterly disappointed. In order to protect himself, even though he knew that the Crown Prince's assassination of HuangFu Hao was fishy, he still locked the Crown Prince in prison.
In fact, one could not blame Emperor Wen Hui. The reason why he locked the Crown Prince in prison, other than to show an attitude to the Qin country's Emperor and to temporarily quell the Emperor's anger, was for the sake of the Crown Prince's safety. Those HuangFu Hao's guards were eyeing the Crown Prince like a tiger eyeing its prey and wholeheartedly wanted to take revenge for HuangFu Hao. If the Crown Prince was not careful one day, it was not impossible that he would die in the hands of those guards. Now that the Crown Prince was a prisoner and there were so many people guarding the prison, there would not be any incidents.
Unfortunately no one understood Emperor Wen Hui's thoughts and because of his actions, even the Empress could not sit still.
When the Empress entered the Yang Xin Palace, she angrily questioned, "Your Majesty obviously know that the Crown Prince was wronged, so why did you lock him up? Your Majesty's actions, did you not think about how the officials would look at you in the future? "
Emperor Wen Hui frowned. He did not like the feeling of being questioned and said, "Zhen have my own ideas."
Emperor Wen Hui still had some feelings for the Empress as the Empress was his legal wife. When the late Emperor was still alive, the fight for the throne was as fierce as it was now. If it was not for the support of the Empress' maiden family, Emperor Wen Hui would not have reached this step today. Now that the power of the Empress' maiden family had been deliberately taken away by Emperor Wen Hui, it was not possible for the external relatives to monopolize power. Thus Emperor Wen Hui was willing to give some face to the Empress, moreover the Empress was the Crown Prince's birth mother.
In private, the Empress was indeed a good Empress. She was not jealous and managed the inner palace well.
"I beg Your Majesty to retract your order." The Empress said, "The Crown Prince will have to face the court officials in the future. Your Majesty's actions will cause the people to misunderstand!" If it was in the past, the Empress would never refute Emperor Wen Hui's decisions but as a mother, she was always exceptionally sensitive towards her son's matters. The Empress would not allow the Crown Prince's future to have any mistakes, not even a drop of dirty water could be stained.
Moreover this time it was not an ordinary mistake. Once the crime of murdering the Crown Prince of the Qin country was proven, one fear that it would be difficult for Fu Xiu Yan to keep his life. Even though the Empress did not interfere in the court's affairs, it did not mean that she knew nothing about the court's affairs. Once there were signs of danger, she would definitely nip it in the bud.
Emperor Wen Hui was badly battered by this matter for the past few days and his heart was extremely gloomy. Unfortunately the Empress came at this time, so he said impatiently, "Zhen do not need you to tell me what to do!"
