Murong An came in with the unconscious child and said: "Mother, concubine, call the imperial doctor quickly."
"I found Ninth Brother at the city gate. When we found him, he fell unconscious at the city gate."
Concubine Shu was worried that her son would be crying all day over the past few days. After hearing this, she immediately stood up and almost fainted due to lack of energy. "Come here, call the imperial doctor quickly..."
Emperor Beiwu learned the news and rushed to Mingyue Palace.
Not long after the Ninth Prince woke up, he said, "My son, I have met my father."
"Where have you been these days?" Murong Shen asked him as he sat down.
Although the Ninth Prince is only ten years old, he is still a sensible child.
He glanced at his mother-in-law and eldest brother with evasive eyes, "I'm playing in Seventh Brother's Zhuangzi."
Emperor Beiwu's eyes darkened, "In that Zhuangzi?"
Concubine Shu then cried: "Your Majesty, I said that Qi'er was hidden by Prince Lie's Mansion. You still didn't believe it. Now that Qi'er said it himself, you believe it this time!"
They had known that the man must have been captured and hidden by King Lie's men.
It's just that they have never been able to find it. Without evidence, there is nothing they can do against Murong Xiao.
Murong An said: "Father, the seventh brother has gone too far. I beg you to make the decision for the ninth brother."
Emperor Beiwu's face turned ugly. He looked at the mother and son with cold eyes, and his eyes fell on the Ninth Prince. "Qier, are you sure it was your seventh brother who sent someone to arrest you? In which village was he imprisoned?"
"
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "I don't remember Erchen. I only remember that I was in a village. There was no one there, only Erchen and Xiao Dengzi."
"I arrived at the palace when I woke up."
Emperor Beiwu asked patiently, "Then how are you sure it was Brother Qi who captured you? Has he seen you in the yard?"
The Ninth Prince's eyes dodge slightly, and then he nodded affirmatively, "Well, Seventh Brother said he wants me to play there for a few days and will send me back to the palace in two days. He also gave me a lot of delicious food."
"Father, I'm so hungry. Can I go eat?"
Murong Shen looked at his chubby little son, his eyebrows suddenly turned cold and serious, "Why did you sneak out of the palace without telling your mother and concubine?!"
When I came back, I even thought about eating it and didn't even admit my mistake.
How was this child raised?
Concubine Shu was stared at by the man's cold eyes, and her scalp went numb immediately, "Your Majesty... Qi'er already knows that he was wrong, and I will teach him well. He has been worried and scared outside these days, and has suffered a lot. Please, please
Your Majesty, forgive him once."
"Confused!" The man was furious and slammed the table, "You all go and kneel down for me. I'll tell you when you can reflect on it clearly."
The Ninth Prince's eyes suddenly turned red, and he cried out in fright, "Father, please calm down, Qi'er knows that he was wrong."
…
"Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to enter the palace immediately."
Murong Xiao hugged the woman and as soon as he returned to the Xingyue Building, Butler Xu came to report.
He gently put the woman on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and kissed her forehead before getting up and coming out.
It was as if he had known that the emperor would send someone to find him.
Without asking, he entered the palace.
"Qier said that you captured him and hid him in your private village. I ask you if this is the case?"
Emperor Beiwu asked sternly.
Murong Xiao glanced at Concubine Shu and the Ninth Prince who were kneeling on the ground, "Back to my father, there is no such thing."
Murong An immediately said: "Seventh brother, please be lenient if you confess. We all know that you deliberately kidnapped the ninth brother and threw him in your private village. Please stop making excuses."
Murong Xiao sneered, "Second brother, when did I ever quibble? If I haven't done it, I haven't done it. I won't make any quibbles."
"Also, when it comes to evidence, did the second brother find the ninth brother in my private village?"
Murong An's eyes widened, "No, I found Ninth Brother at the gate of the capital, but since you captured Ninth Brother, you definitely wouldn't hide him in a private village that we all know."
"Hmph, that means the second brother has no evidence at all."
