"Drag him down." Zhan Beihan raised his chin, "No matter what method you use, make him speak. If he doesn't speak, kill him. Why keep him alive?"
As soon as these words came out, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood lingering around, making people suffocate.
Everyone dared not express their anger.
Even Concubine Shu and the Thirteenth Princess did not dare to object. They watched Hu Hongzhi, who was crying bitterly, being dragged down with his mouth covered.
The prince laughed helplessly and looked at Zhan Beihan: "You are too rude."
Zhan Beihan said impatiently: "It's a trivial matter in the first place, no one in the harem cares about it? It's a waste of time to alert the father and make a trip."
"You..." The prince was helpless.
The eighth princess bit her lip and stepped forward uneasily to apologize: "It's my fault. I rashly alarmed my father and implicated the prince. The three emperors are just going to take a trip..."
Emperor Zhaoming, the Crown Prince and Zhan Beihan were discussing matters in the Imperial Study Room when they suddenly heard the Imperial Army reporting that assassins had sneaked into Concubine Shu's birthday party.
Before they could ask clearly, the eighth princess and Wen Shaoqing came over to complain.
The Eighth Princess knelt in the royal study and told Emperor Zhaoming that she was crying so much that someone had drugged her during the banquet and had planned a plot.
Emperor Zhaoming was furious, so he put down his court affairs and came over with the prince and Zhan Beihan.
Zhan Beihan originally didn't want to come, as he was not interested in the dirty things in the harem, but he soon remembered that Xiao Lingyue was also at the banquet, and she had the kind of temperament that would cause trouble wherever she went...
.
The eighth princess might be related to her again.
How else can I say this?
I can only follow and take a look.
Zhan Beihan's face was expressionless, too lazy to listen to the eighth princess's confession, so he interrupted: "I didn't say anything about you."
Eighth Princess: "..."
The prince smiled at the Eighth Princess and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, Eighth Princess. You are the victim yourself. You are not to blame in any case. It turns out that when something like this happened in the harem, it was because the people above failed in their duties and had nothing to do with it.
What does it have to do with the Eighth Emperor’s Sister?”
The Eighth Princess breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Crown Prince, and thank you, Brother Three Emperors."
Concubine Shu: "..."
She gritted her teeth secretly, stepped forward and knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, it was my concubine who was negligent and mismanaged the harem. Please forgive me."
Emperor Zhaoming looked at her and said nothing for a while.
The incident happened at Concubine Shu's birthday party.
It was her mother's family who made the mistake.
Concubine Shu holds half of the power of the harem, and she has to bear some responsibility for her dereliction of duty, both emotionally and rationally.
Therefore, Emperor Zhaoming did not ask her to get up immediately, and his expression was lukewarm.
Concubine Shu knelt on the ground, took a careful look at His Majesty's expression, and felt a thump in her heart.
"Father, how can you blame your mother and concubine for this? She didn't want to do it either."
The Thirteenth Princess's face changed slightly, and she immediately stepped forward to plead: "My mother-in-law has always had a hard time managing the Sixth Palace. It's a rare birthday today. I wanted to be lively and happy, but I didn't expect that I encountered this kind of thing. My mother-in-law is already very sad. Is it possible?"
Does Father still want to blame her?"
Emperor Zhaoming had no intention of blaming Concubine Shu, he pondered and was about to speak.
At this time, Zhan Beihan narrowed his eyes and asked Leng Buding: "What is in your wallet?"
