The two guards behind him came over and helped Prince Duan to sit up. One of the guards took out trauma medicine and carefully sprinkled it on Prince Duan's wound.

Prince Guo placed Concubine Xiao's spirit tablet on Prince Duan's lap and stared at Queen Mother Chu with burning eyes, "What did the Eighth Prince do wrong to deserve being humiliated by you like this!" This woman has climbed up to her current position step by step, and has always been cruel and ruthless. I didn't expect her to be so cruel.

"Sixth uncle, Prince Duan not only killed my two younger brothers, he also killed the elderly and children of both families, and colluded with Prince Pingnan's former subordinates to plot a rebellion!" Queen Mother Chu said in an affirmative tone.

"You're talking nonsense. Where's the evidence? As far as I know, the former subordinates of King Pingnan have been quiet in Zhaoyuan County for many years!"

Prince Duan placed Concubine Xiao's spirit tablet on the memory foam pillow.

"Sixth uncle, my nephew did not commit treason, nor did he kill the Queen Mother's family. All the charges were fabricated by the Queen Mother. I beg you to help me!!!"

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The two gray-haired uncles, the Seventh and Ninth, escorted Emperor Kangning to the prison gate. Seeing Prince Duan covered in blood, the Ninth Uncle immediately became angry.

"I said I would force you to confess under torture. Your father gave birth to so many sons, and now there are only two of you brothers left. The eighth brother went through so much hardship to return to the Great Xia Kingdom, but I didn't expect that you would not tolerate him at all!"

The Seventh Uncle walked up to Prince Duan and said with pity, "Old Eight, you have suffered a lot. You have been a hostage in Yuanlong Country for many years, living a life worse than the common people. Now you have to suffer again after coming back."

"Seventh Uncle, don't go too far!" Queen Mother Chu clenched the handkerchief in her hand. Over the years, these old guys have been suppressing the Chu family's business, causing it to be full of twists and turns.

Emperor Kangning looked into Prince Duan's eyes and found that his half-brother was as stubborn as he was when he was a child, and never bowed his head to ask for help from him.

Prince Duan also looked at Emperor Kangning, "Brother, you keep saying that I'm colluding with Prince Pingnan, do you have any evidence?"

"Of course I have evidence," he said, looking behind him.

Eunuch Shan took out a letter and before he could unfold it, Prince Duan laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, hahaha, it's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Your evidence is too far-fetched. If I'm not mistaken, this letter was sent to you by Prime Minister Chu. I've had spies report that Prime Minister Chu was secretly working to forge evidence to frame me."

The Seventh Uncle stepped forward, grabbed the letter, and clenched it in his fist. "Your Majesty, no matter what, you can't take the Eighth Brother's life. Now that Daxia is facing internal and external troubles, it is a time to need more people. How can you kill your brothers?"

"That's right, that's right. Aren't there many examples in history of forcing ministers to rebel?"

"No, he killed the families of Chu Shixun and Chu Shijie!" Queen Mother Chu roared again, and her cloudy old eyes seemed to be about to explode.

Prince Guo shouted angrily, pointing at Queen Mother Chu, "Shut up, don't think we don't know what you did. Concubine Xiao was killed in Luohe for no reason, and it was your Chu family who did it, so they deserve to die!!!"

"What evidence do you have that they did it?" Queen Mother Chu clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to become more numerous.

The Ninth Prince walked up to Emperor Kangning and bowed, "Your Majesty, please learn from the late emperor and be more tolerant and generous. Don't be too soft-hearted. Now that we are all old, we don't want to see the royal bloodline killing each other. Just set an example for the other princes!!!"

"Yes, when we are young, we fight for everything. When we are old, we have a different mentality. It's good for us brothers to walk the birds, fish and chat every day!"

Emperor Kangning looked at the partiality of these three old uncles and felt a dilemma. He stroked his beard and

"My three uncles, mother, I will handle the matter of Old Eighth as appropriate. I hope Old Eighth will reflect on himself here and not make the same mistake again!" He looked at the jailer.

"Three meals a day are provided according to the amount. Without my order, no one is allowed to torture the Eighth Prince!" After that, he pulled Queen Mother Chu out, "Monkey mother, it's late at night, go back and rest. I have lost weight recently."

Prince Duan suddenly thought of something and clenched the memory foam pillow in his hand, "I hope that my brother will allow me and Mu Xi to divorce. After all, she is innocent!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Chu's old face immediately became ferocious. She turned around and said, "Why, you are the ones who got married, and you are also the ones who got divorced. Do you treat the dignity of the royal family as a joke?" She looked at Nanny Qin behind her.

"Go, call that Duan Wangfei here, and let her stay here with Duan Wang. I won't allow you to divorce. That bitch gave me a laxative last time in Kunning Palace, making me look so ugly. Oh, by the way, she has to empty all the toilets here, so that she can be in contact with feces every day!"

Emperor Kangning pulled Queen Mother Chu out of the cell and said, "It's all up to you, mother. Otherwise, everyone will think that the royal family is easy to bully!" Humph, that woman really deserves to be punished. Let her suffer some pain before she will surrender.

Looking at the two people's backs as they walked out, Prince Duan started coughing violently again.

Prince Guo came over and gently comforted him: "Old Eight, you should take care of yourself first. The An family is a little bit thin in the eyes of the emperor, but it will be fine!"

"Yes, Old Eight, the uncle left the medicine for you. Take it on time every day! Don't anger the emperor again."

After a few more words of comfort, the three old uncles walked out of the prison.

"Clatter," the jailer quickly locked the gate.

The cell finally quieted down. Prince Duan was silent for a while, then turned his wheelchair to the bedside, placed his mother's spirit tablet and pillow on the bed, and then took off his outer robe, revealing his inner garment covered in blood.

Soon.

An Muxi's angry curses were heard from the prison door.

"What are you doing? You make me pick beans during the day and don't give me any food. You don't even let me sleep well at night. Why did you build this shabby place?"

"Princess Duan, the Queen Mother wants you to serve Prince Duan well here, and you will be responsible for emptying every toilet bucket here!" Nanny Qin said in a gloating voice.

“Why should I empty the toilet? I’m still a patient. Oh, and I have scabies, so I need to be isolated!” He is getting worse and worse. Not only do he go to jail every now and then, but he also has to empty the toilet every day. How can a rich woman empty the toilet every day!!!

"Hurry up and leave. Stop talking nonsense. Do you know that Prince Duan has committed the crime of treason? If you are implicated, your head will be gone!"

"We have divorced. Do you understand? The Emperor knows!"

"The emperor knows about it, but he didn't agree. Haha!" Nanny Qin laughed sinisterly.

"I'm so pretty, so cute!" Muxi roared angrily. He looked around and found that the prison was very long. It seemed to be a place where important criminals were held. There were heavy iron chains and various torture instruments hanging on the walls of each cell. There was a wooden bed next to the torture instruments.

Under the dim oil lamp, the scene was very creepy. I wonder how many people died from these torture instruments.

After walking past several occupied cells, suddenly, a bloody smell came towards them, and the handsome face of Prince Duan appeared in the gate. He was sitting in a wheelchair with a pale face, and his snow-white shirt was stained with blood. On the bed behind him was the spirit tablet of Concubine Xiao.

It is said that enemies become particularly jealous when they meet. At this moment, when An Muxi saw Prince Duan, his rage was like the roaring water of the Yangtze River.

"We agreed to divorce, why did you send me to jail when you were in jail? Are you royal people so untrustworthy?" There was a tremor in his voice. He knew that the prince's jailing would implicate him, and the Emperor Kangning would not let him go so easily.
