The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 199 The 5th Prince is Imprisoned

When the two arrived, the Fifth Prince and Concubine Shu were kneeling in the main hall, and Eunuch Du was patting the Emperor on the back.

The emperor kept coughing.

Eunuch Du quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured a pill and fed it to the emperor.

The emperor gradually recovered after taking the pills.

The third prince stared at the pill in Eunuch Du's hand, as if he wanted to stare a hole in the porcelain bottle.

It looked like there were pills in the bottle, but when did my father take the pills?

After taking the pills, my father's coughing became much quieter, and his complexion gradually recovered from the redness caused by coughing.

Could it be that the imperial doctors have discovered the cause of my father's illness and found a treatment?

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

No, he had to check it out, right away.

The third prince's mind raced as he tried to find a way to leave here.

However, looking at the emperor who had recovered his throne.

At this time, the emperor had recovered and his anger had gradually subsided.

Looking at the fifth son kneeling on the ground, my heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He had basically forgotten about this child before he became an adult. However, this child suddenly appeared in front of him one day, told him that he was about to become an adult, and asked if he could leave the palace to build his own residence. He said that he had heard from his nanny that the princes could leave the palace to build their own residences after they became adults.

Only then did he remember that he actually had such a son.

Later, I also asked about his life in the palace, and there was nothing special about it.

Thinking that she owed him, she agreed to let him leave the palace and build his own house, and also assigned him some big and small things to do.

However, this child is not bad. No matter how difficult it is, as long as he is given a task, he will do it with all his heart. He can also complete the tasks assigned to him properly. Although there is nothing outstanding, there is nothing wrong with it either.

Originally, he had thought that if this child remained so honest and obedient, he would be granted a nice fiefdom in the future so that he could enjoy his life in peace.

However, he never expected that this man who had always been so dutiful would one day be pulled in front of him and told that his son was entangled with his favorite concubine.

How could this not surprise him and make him furious?

This also made him doubt that the honesty and duty he had shown before were all pretended, and he was also coveting the throne under his butt?

The emperor looked at the two people kneeling below, his eyes full of disappointment and anger, "Do you know your mistakes?"

The fifth prince kowtowed and said, "I don't know. Please tell me clearly, father!" At this time, the fifth prince stood straight, with a neither humble nor arrogant expression, as if he really didn't know why he was arrested and why the emperor asked them to admit their mistakes.

In fact, when he was escorted into the hall, he was surprised when he saw Concubine Shu kneeling in the hall with an indifferent expression on her face.

He had speculated whether it was Concubine Shu who was plotting against him, but judging from the situation, Concubine Shu was also captured. He really didn't know what the situation was, so he didn't speculate and just waited.

Concubine Shu was also very calm. She prostrated herself on the ground and said only, "Your Majesty, I don't know either."

The emperor threw out a letter and said in a cold tone: "Read it for yourselves."

The Fifth Prince didn't know what was going on, but Concubine Shu knew. So, she didn't go to get the letter first.

She knew it wasn't written by her.

The letter she wrote had a dark pattern on the lower left corner of the envelope, engraved with her favorite lotus. It was not a lotus flower, but a lotus pod.

The fifth prince reached out to take the letter, opened it, and was shocked when he saw the contents.

At this moment, he couldn't help but be a little frightened by the contents of the letter.

He looked up at Concubine Shu beside him and wanted to ask her if this was really written by her for him?

But the address in the letter said it all.

He Yi, Shu Er.

Even he himself, after reading the letter, felt he had no way to refute it.

Judging from the content of the letter, it should have been written to him by Concubine Shu.

But, did Concubine Shu want to die? Why did she drag him into this?

Could it be that he is lonely in the underworld and wants to go there with someone?

However, this is obviously impossible.

Who would want to die while living a good life? Even if you want to die, there are many ways to do it. Why choose to anger the emperor and then die? Do you want to experience the pain of being cut into pieces?

But he knew without tasting it that it must be extremely painful. Was there any need to taste it?

What's more, Concubine Shu has been favored in the six palaces for many years, and now the Queen has been banished to the cold palace by her. Her life should be very good now, and she certainly would not want to commit suicide.

There is only one possibility, that is, someone framed him and Concubine Shu.

But Concubine Shu was so calm when she saw the letter.

No, that's not right.

Concubine Shu seemed to have been very calm since he met her.

Then there is only one possibility.

She did write him a letter, but not this one. She had faith that she would be saved, so she accepted it calmly and just had to wait patiently.

I have to say that the Fifth Prince was very smart and he quickly analyzed the matter almost perfectly.

The fifth prince was also calm at this time.

He folded the letter, raised his hands high, and said, "I don't know the contents of the letter. I was wronged. Please investigate, father."

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu, his most beloved concubine.

As long as her request was not against morality, he would always meet her request.

But he didn't expect that even though he treated her so well, she would actually betray him.

The emperor asked coldly, "Noble Concubine Shu, what do you have to say?"

Concubine Shu saw that the emperor looked at her with cold eyes. This was the first time.

In the past, the emperor always looked at her with gentle eyes.

It's ridiculous to think about it.

She always felt that the emperor loved her, and she was sinking into his tenderness day by day.

It was not until today that she saw clearly that this man might like her, but he did not really trust her or love her.

Yes, how could she forget that the imperial family is the most ruthless?

Concubine Shu smiled, but her smile was bitter.

"Your Majesty, I have never betrayed you." After saying this, she prostrated herself on the ground and said no more.

The emperor snorted coldly, "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble! Come, throw the fifth prince into the prison and wait for your punishment!"

"Imprison Consort Shu and keep her in the palace without my order!" He looked at Consort Shu kneeling on the ground, and said again, "We will make a decision after we find out the truth." The emperor left with a wave of his sleeves. The third and second princes looked at each other and followed him.

After everyone left, Eunuch Du came to the Fifth Prince and sighed, "Fifth Master, you can go to the Heavenly Prison and stay there peacefully. I believe that General Mu will find a way to find out the truth for you." The Fifth Prince looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Du." Then he was taken away by the guards.

Concubine Shu seemed to be in deep sorrow. She stood up tremblingly and looked at the Fifth Prince and said, "I have implicated you in this matter. I will apologize to you after I have investigated the matter thoroughly."

After saying this, she did not need the support of the palace maid beside her, but walked away with her head held high.

She has not been stripped of her title yet and is still a noble concubine, so these people naturally don't dare to do anything to her.

After Eunuch Du sent the fifth prince to the Heavenly Prison, he hurried to the palace to report.
