The things were put down, making a dull sound in the hall.
The moment he heard the sound, the prince glanced at King An.
At that glance, I was a little surprised.
Emperor Shunyuan did not delay and asked Huazimo to open the box.
After the box was opened, there was a heavy box of gold and silver inside. As King An said, they were all solid.
Hua Zimo checked quickly. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face. He just replied truthfully: "To report to the emperor, they are indeed solid gold and silver objects. Counting the boxes, they are no less than fifty kilograms."
After hearing this, Emperor Shunyuan said to the two young eunuchs: "Go and identify, are you the ones who brought this box?"
The two young eunuchs came forward in fear. One looked at the gold and silver artifacts, and the other looked at the wooden box. The one who looked at the gold and silver artifacts quickly said: "Go back to the emperor, yes."
The one who checked the wooden box hesitated for a moment, because he remembered that the box still had a strange smell today, and there were gaps. But the current one didn't...
However, the moment he hesitated, his companion bumped into him quietly, and the little eunuch immediately said: "The box is the same, with scratches on it, just like what we saw today."
As he said that, he specifically pointed out two scratches for Hua Zimo to see.
Originally, after hearing them say yes, Hua Zimo had given up all hope.
Who knew that this little eunuch was so clever that he even pointed out the scratches.
Hua Zimo immediately took a step forward and said: "What a coincidence, I just made these two scratches. The palace servants who followed me can testify for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, other palace people echoed his words.
The two little eunuchs knelt down with a plop, so frightened that their souls almost died, their faces were as pale as paper, and they were sweating profusely.
When Emperor Shunyuan saw this, he looked over gloomily and said coldly and angrily: "Since the eyes are useless, just dig them out."
One of the little eunuchs listened and immediately wailed: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, the things in these boxes are roughly the same. The slaves moved them and didn't dare to take a closer look."
"As for this box, it's the same. It's just that when we were lifting it, we accidentally fell it once and the board was a little loose, so I'm not sure if it's the one in front of me."
The other one hurriedly agreed, too frightened to speak.
Emperor Shunyuan said angrily: "Since we don't know clearly, it's still useless."
After saying that, he waved his hand.
Soon the guards came forward, and the two young eunuchs were instantly heartbroken. They shouted hysterically: "It's not this. We can see clearly, it's not this."
"Not this one, that one still has a strange smell during the day."
Emperor Shunyuan said angrily: "Since you know it's not this, why did you want to hide it just now? Come here, drag them out and hit each with a hundred big boards!"
In the palace, a hundred boards were almost destroyed by sticks, and only a few could survive.
The two little eunuchs kept wailing, and their voices woke up the sleeping Princess Jinyang.
Concubine Hui wanted to hold her daughter in her arms and ask for grace to leave, but Emperor Shunyuan said directly: "Leave Jin Yang to Grandma to take away, and you can stay."
Concubine Hui was flustered and glanced at Prince An subconsciously.
It was this look that made Emperor Shunyuan furious.
"What do you see him doing?"
Concubine Hui was startled, then lowered her head in grievance, not knowing how to defend herself?
Prince An also scolded Concubine Hui for being stupid in his heart, but said on his face: "Father, there is no need to vent your anger on others. This matter has been directed at me from the beginning to the end."
"What gift? What poisonous snake? What wooden box?"
"You can say whatever you want about things in the palace. If you really want me dead, you don't have to go to such trouble."
Emperor Shunyuan roared: "You are still making excuses now, so why don't you tell me what you want to do by bringing so many gold and silver things into the palace?"
King An smiled, with tears in his eyes, and said with a very sad look: "I knew that my father didn't want to see me, but I didn't want my father to hate me so much."
Emperor Shunyuan was so angry that his veins bulged, and he rushed to King An on the spot and wanted to take action.
The prince could see that King An said these words on purpose. His original intention was to anger his father and achieve what he wanted. As for King An's true purpose, the prince had not yet figured out.
The prince stopped Emperor Shunyuan and said, "Since you don't want to enter the palace, then why don't you come?"
After hearing this, King An seemed to have finally found a way to vent his anger. He threw away the bloody veil and stood up angrily: "The prince said nicely, don't come? I just didn't want to enter the palace a few days ago, so what's wrong with the prince?"
Said?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Emperor Shunyuan pointed at him angrily and said: "Shut up, you dare to speak against the prince?"
King An's eyes suddenly changed, and his face showed a fierce look: "Father, there is no need to rush to defend the prince. I know that I am a concubine, and I am not qualified to fight for anything. But father, don't be too partial. My son's surname is also Zhao, and so is Zhao.
The son of his father.
Emperor Shunyuan was frightened by his ferocious appearance and voice. Before Emperor Shunyuan could recover, he heard King An continue: "When the eldest sister had a difficult childbirth, my father asked people to release Wang Xiu and rescued the eldest sister.
Sister's life. But when it was my princess's turn to give birth, Wang Xiu was living happily outside the village. Do you dare to say that your father has a clear conscience?"
"Also, Concubine Hui gave birth to a daughter, and my father held a grand banquet for her. My mother and concubine raised me so big, and I was reduced to a concubine when I was old. How could my father really care about his son? Since he didn't care, he was so
Why don't you kill me? Why do you want me to live until now?"
As King An said, he rushed to the box again, overturned it, and smashed all the gold and silver utensils. While smashing it, he said frantically: "Why prepare these? My father asked me why I gave Concubine Hui so much gold.
Silver jewelry? Why is one box not enough and another box is required?"
"Because my father doesn't agree. He doesn't agree to let my mother and concubine live. He doesn't agree to let me live. He wants me to live like a dog, like the prince's guard dog, constantly wagging his tail and begging for mercy!"
"Father, father, since you cherish the prince so much, why did you give birth to sons like us? What on earth do we mean to you?"
Emperor Shunyuan was stunned. A trace of tears was still shining but did not fall.
He was surprised by Wang An's transformation, as if he had changed from a violent man to a wronged child. Although none of his accusations were true, the despair and grief and anger in his eyes seemed so real.
When the eldest princess saw such a crazy King An, she thought he was going to start a killing spree. She was so frightened that she grabbed the prince and pushed him towards her father.
But the prince did not move at all, and the eldest princess was anxious, so she had to go to her father first.
When King An saw it, he sneered and said, "What are you doing, elder sister?"
"Are you afraid that I will hurt my father?"
"Father, you think so too, are you also afraid that I will hurt you?"
King An said, looking at Emperor Shunyuan with tears in his eyes.
At that glance, his eyes were red and tears were shining, and his sadness and despair were obvious.
Emperor Shunyuan hesitated for a moment and only said softly: "I..."
It was because of Emperor Shunyuan's hesitation that King An burst into tears. He smiled maniacally, but his laughter was filled with pain and despair.
Seeing Prince An being so rude, the prince frowned, as if he understood something?
But when he saw King An at this time, he still did not speak or persuade.
It seems that this is like a reincarnation.
But he knew very well in his heart that King An was not wronged.
But if a person who was not wronged did something that was ten times more terrifying than being wronged, does that mean that everyone may be his pawn, including himself?
At this moment, the prince was confused. Is it really so fascinating to be in charge of the country?
A loud "bang" sound brought the prince back from his thoughts.
King An crashed in front of the main hall, blood splattered, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Outside the palace, a eunuch who delivered the message said in a tearful tone: "Your Majesty... Empress Chen is gone..."
The prince came back to his senses, and suddenly someone said in his ear: "Your Highness, the eldest princess...she is gone..." Instantly, the strong smell of blood hit him, and he felt like he was being drowned, and he was in pain.
When his vision gradually became clearer and everything in front of him was illusion, the prince was suddenly startled and immediately looked towards the eldest princess.
His eldest sister was still beside him, intact. Only the blood stains on the ground were still there, and the person lying... turned into King An.
