The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

Chapter 197: Unpredictable Disaster

Looking at the sons kneeling in a circle, Emperor Jing Ming kept his face calm for a while without saying a word.

Always give them some time to reflect!

Several princes were even more confused.

Why did the emperor call them all so well? Looking at this posture is definitely not a compliment.

But they didn't do anything bad. At most, they heard that Lao Qi went to Shuntian Mansion to complain, and laughed at him with contempt behind his back.

While the drums were beating in the hearts of the princes, Emperor Jing Ming finally said, "What did you all do today?"

The princes looked at each other.

It's a little scary that the father asked such a general question.

Emperor Jing Ming's gaze fell on the eldest prince.

The eldest prince gave a wry smile in his heart and hurriedly said, "My son has been in the palace all the time. After breakfast, he went to the garden for a walk, and then read a book for a while."

Emperor Jing Ming looked at the prince.

"My son has been in the East Palace. After breakfast, I went to the garden for a walk, and I also read a book for a while—"

Emperor Jing Ming interrupted the prince: "Apart from these? Didn't you do anything special?"

A drop of sweat dripped from the prince's forehead.

No, he just met a good-looking palace maid in the garden early in the morning and pulled her to sleep in the flowers. Is the father going to fight for this?

"Huh?" Seeing that the Crown Prince didn't answer, Emperor Jing Ming frowned.

The crown prince thought of Jinlinwei, put out his mind of fooling, and said vaguely: "My son... I had a chat with a palace maid..."

"Pfft." I don't know who couldn't help laughing, and the princes hurriedly lowered their heads lower.

Emperor Jing Ming is so angry, he really didn't think about the assassination of Lao Qi to the crown prince. After all, the crown prince is the prince, and he didn't get involved in the group fight.

Never thought that the prince was so absurd and lewd!

Resisting the urge to attack immediately, Emperor Jing Ming looked at the third prince and said, "What about you, third child?"

The birth mother of the third prince was humble, so he developed a cautious temperament. Hearing the words, he replied, "My son took Fu Ge'er for a few laps at the mansion's martial arts field."

Emperor Jing Ming was intrigued when he heard it: "Uh, is Brother Fu already able to ride a horse?"

The other princes pouted secretly.

The third child will make fun of it, but unfortunately the mother and concubine is a palace maid, and she can't be tough no matter what.

"Just started learning."

Emperor Jing Ming nodded.

Finally, there is a reliable one. Except for the prince, he actually doesn't have high requirements for other sons. Just don't act nonsense.

Next, Emperor Jing Ming asked the fourth prince again, and the fifth prince had already prepared the draft, but Emperor Jing Ming skipped him and asked the sixth prince and the eighth prince.

The fifth prince's heart suddenly went up and down.

Why did the royal father bypass him? Based on what he knew about his father, it was unlikely that it was because he was assured of him. Nine times out of ten, it was left to clean up at the end—

Sure enough, when Emperor Jing Ming asked all the other princes, his face suddenly sank when he looked at the fifth prince: "Tell me what you did today!"

When the others heard it, the eyes they looked at the Fifth Prince were wrong.

After a long time of trouble, the culprit was the fifth.

"My son, what did my son do?" The fifth prince was nervous, and his mind went blank.

Yu Jin knelt in the corner, a sneer overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

He said that if you can't get rid of people who miss Ashi for the time being, it's good to charge some interest first.

"Nothing? Then why did you appear near Quezi Hutong on Qingtong Street?"

The fifth prince was stunned for a while.

What is Qingtong Street Quezi Hutong? He clearly went to the neighborhood of Dongpingbo Mansion.

"Say!"

Emperor Jing Ming gave a cold drink that scared the fifth prince and blurted out, "I don't have any."

When Emperor Jing Ming heard this, he became even more angry, and the original two-point suspicion became five points: "You are still pretending to be stupid at this time? Are you pretending to be a Jinlin Guard?"

The fifth prince was extremely wronged: "My son really didn't go to Quezi Hutong, Qingtong Street—"

Wait, Quezi Hutong sounds familiar.

The fifth prince's eyes rolled subconsciously, and he inadvertently swept to Yu Jin who was not far away. He was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed.

He remembered that the place where Lao Qi stayed was.

After he came out of the Zongren Mansion, he also sent someone to inquire about it, thinking of finding an opportunity to clean up the boy severely.

Emperor Jing Ming looked at the fifth prince with disappointment, and said lightly: "Today, the seventh was assassinated near his home, have you heard?"

"My son heard about it." The princes said one after another, and the eyes they looked at the fifth prince became more subtle.

The fifth prince reacted with hindsight: "Father, the assassination of the seventh brother has nothing to do with the sons and ministers!"

Why is it bad luck to meet that kid? The fifth prince looked at Yu Jin subconsciously.

Yu Jin turned his eyes and smiled at him.

The fifth prince's head buzzed.

It's over, it's over, he jumped into the Yellow River today and couldn't wash it.

Looking at the five sons who didn't recruit themselves, Emperor Jing Ming was angry: "I just asked why you appeared there!"

If he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, how could he let Jin Linwei take over the matter, the fifth one has no brains!

"My son—" The fifth prince opened his mouth, but couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.

Of course, he couldn't admit such a big crime as the assassination of Lao Qi. He didn't do it in the first place. Who knows which good person is doing the justice for heaven, but he can't tell the truth when he misses the noble daughter of the uncle.

"My son... I just have nothing to do, and go to see the funeral of the Yongchang Uncle's Mansion."

Seeing the tense expression on Emperor Jingming's face, the fifth prince hurriedly explained: "I don't know if the father and the emperor heard that the Yongchangbo and his wife died on the same day. My son thought it was very strange, so he-"

"Enough!" Emperor Jing Ming couldn't bear to interrupt the Fifth Prince's words, "From today onwards, you will be imprisoned in Prince Lu's Mansion for three months, and you will be fined one year's salary!"

"Father, my son has been wronged, and my son can swear to God that he never sent anyone to assassinate the seventh brother!"

Emperor Jing Ming resisted the urge to kick the fifth prince flying, and scolded: "Idiot, if you dare to kill brothers, do you think it's just this punishment?"

The other princes shook their heads secretly.

Thank you for being so stupid, so that they can be less scolded.

"Remember it, this is punishing you for not cultivating morality! Someone in someone else's family died violently, and you are not only sympathetic but also look at it strange. Is this what a prince should do?"

"My son is wrong." The fifth prince bowed his head in despair, feeling like a disaster was falling from the sky.

"And you!" Emperor Jing Ming's eyes slowly swept across the faces of his sons, his face sinking like water, "Be cautious in words and deeds, be gentle and respectful, and respectful of brothers and sisters, don't forget these qualities!"

"My son, please follow the teachings of the emperor."

All the princes understood, being cautious in words and deeds, being polite and courteous are all nonsense, and the purpose of being called to kneel today is the reason why they were called to kneel.

The royal father suspects that someone among them will kill Lao Qi, so he will be more honest after beating them inside and out.

It is simply a disaster!

All the princes had this idea in their hearts, but seeing the fifth prince who was crying and mourning, he felt relieved again.

There is still a comparison. Compared with them, the fifth is obviously the main suspect of the father.

"Go down, Prince stay!"

At this moment, the princes felt a little better.

Well, as long as the prince is unlucky, they are relieved.

Prince: "..." The fleeting years are unfavorable, he will go to a fragrance someday!
