After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The emperor looked at the Ninth Prince for a long time, then suddenly leaned back.

"In this matter, Fang Yan'er is not as innocent as she said."

"You are guilty of walking around the palace without permission. It seems that even my oral instructions cannot control you."

"In addition, Liu Shaoqing was not strict in controlling the women in the house, and he was also guilty of negligence."

"To convey my will, Fang Yan'er, the gold master, will copy scriptures in the Buddhist hall of Liu Mansion for two hours every day. In addition, the palace steward will teach the rules every day, kneel down and repent!"

"Fang Yan'er will be released after her postpartum punishment is completed."

"Liu Shaoqing's ten-ridged staff is used to punish lax discipline."

For some reason, he suddenly changed his mind and punished the two of them at the same time.

It can be regarded as the final word, giving the Qiao family an explanation.

Everyone in the Qiao family knew that the emperor meant that this was the end of it.

Although I just felt that it was not enough, I could only suppress it temporarily.

Qiao Wanshu was still staring at the Ninth Prince, but this was a look of peace and tranquility in his eyes, as if the murderous intention just now was just her illusion.

There was a sound of footsteps in the inner room. The imperial doctor turned out from behind the screen and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prince is awake."

"He just told the Queen that he was assassinated on his way back to Beijing and his injuries have not yet healed."

"After careful investigation, I found that His Highness the Crown Prince was indeed rushing on his way because of a new injury that had not healed yet. The wound was temporarily affected and hurt his internal organs, so he vomited black blood that looked like poison."

What he said was equivalent to clarifying the rumor that Qiao Jinghan used witchcraft to curse.

But the queen's cry came from the inner room.

"Your Majesty, the prince will be assassinated, all because of Qiao Jingyang's unfavorable protection!"

"The rules of the Qiao family are that men must practice martial arts. Qiao Jingyang's skills are not as good as those of Prime Minister Qiao, and he is as brave as ten! If he had guarded him carefully, how could he have allowed the prince to be assassinated and injured!"

Qiao Wanshu glared and was no longer in the mood to look at the Ninth Prince.

She stared at the screen with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through the face of that noble woman who was the mother of the world.

[Fourth brother, did you hear that? This is the person you are loyal to. 】

[You also risked your life and wealth in order to protect the prince's safety! But what about now? The mother and son had their own plans for a long time. One hides it from you, the other blames you! 】

[This is to protect you and the Qiao family. When will you wake up! 】

Qiao Jingyang was stirred up in her heart by her little sister's thoughts.

His heart was slightly shaken when he learned that the prince had been assassinated, but now he was even more wounded.

The Qiao family has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he has regarded loyalty to the prince as the most important thing in his life.

But looking back now, it turns out that the clown was actually himself!

Qiao Jingyang pursed her lips and her expression became tense and serious.

The prince's weak voice came from the inner room again: "Father, emperor, mother, this matter is not to blame Jing Yang."

"It was my son who had his own selfish thoughts and sneaked out. This gave the assassin an opportunity."

"Jing Yang was also deceived by Erchen without knowing it."

Qiao Wanshu retched with a "yue" sound and muttered disdainfully: "Liar, bad!"

But at this moment, the queen came out of the inner room and saw Qiao Wanshu's conspicuous behavior, and she immediately became angry.

"Ms. Chen! How do you discipline your daughter?"

"What kind of place is this? Do you think that your majesty and I don't exist if you allow her to make noises here?"

Her anger came for no reason, and even the emperor was shocked by her sudden outburst.

"Queen, what are you doing!"

"That's just a baby. She can cry or laugh as she pleases. She's ignorant and disrespectful."

"You are the mother of a country, and you have given birth to a baby. What a shame!"

The Ninth Prince suddenly spoke again: "Mother, Shu'er is still ignorant of human affairs. I don't know where I offended my mother's beauty."

The Qiao family even spoke one after another, just to justify what Qiao Wanshu said just now.

The emperor stared at the queen with sinister eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The queen came back to her senses, looked at the emperor with a little panic, shook her head and explained: "Your Majesty, I am just uneasy because the prince is injured."

"I was in a hurry just now... I didn't mean to target the Qiao family's daughter."

The emperor snorted coldly: "Queen, I just want to know why the prince is already a handsome man, but he still acts with a bit of childish impulsiveness."

"Obviously there are countless outstanding tutors and companions around me, who devote all their efforts to teaching knowledge and how to be a human being, but there is still no improvement."

"Now that I see the Queen's appearance just now, I finally have the answer."

"If you hadn't indulged, doted on, and removed the shortcomings that the prince had just patched up, how could he be like this?"

"The prince behaves like this, how will he be able to take on important responsibilities in the future!"

The heartbreaking words were shocking to everyone present.

The fear in the Queen's eyes became even stronger, and she glanced around as if asking for help. However, she saw that each of the Qiao family members avoided her sight, and had no intention of helping her and the prince.

She knew in her heart that she had offended the Qiao family. Without the support of the Qiao family, the prince's position would definitely be in jeopardy!

Suddenly there was another exclamation in the inner room, and the maids and chamberlains were trying to persuade the prince not to get up.

But soon, the prince came out from behind the screen, knelt directly in front of the emperor, and kowtowed heavily.

"My father taught me that it was my son who was stubborn and failed to live up to my father's hard work."

"My son, I know my mistake, and I will work hard in the future. I will never let down my father, the Queen, and my mother's sincere advice!"

Then he turned to face the Qiao family and saluted: "Mr. Qiao, this prince just wanted to have fun and wanted to make a joke with Jing Yang. As a result, he not only put himself in danger, but also almost made him suffer for me. .”

"I'm really sorry. I hope that Mr. Qiao will be lenient and that Jing Yang will be able to put aside the past grudges and forgive this prince for his mistakes."

He also knew that the Qiao family was now extremely powerful and had a very powerful backer.

If he loses the support of the Qiao family now, then his already somewhat precarious position as crown prince may not be able to sit still.

But Qiao Zhongtian didn't speak, and the Qiao family didn't express anything.

Instead, Qiao Jingyang suddenly stepped forward and knelt down to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Qiao Jingyang, was in a bad position to protect the Lord. He was unable to detect the strangeness of His Highness in time, putting him in danger and being seriously injured."

"I didn't even notice that His Highness the Crown Prince was injured, and the guilt is even worse. I really have no shame in staying with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Please give me your majesty's permission to resign from my position as the crown prince's personal guard and chamberlain, in order to apologize to your majesty and his highness the crown prince!"

The emperor looked at Qiao Jingyang and said meaningfully: "Qiao Aiqing, are you sure you have thought about it?"

"With this thought, my official career has been cut off and I have to start all over again."
