Chapter 943: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Sixty-five)
The emperor stared at the prince with a deep gaze, as if he could see the prince's resentment. Is it necessary to punish other sons who may have made mistakes for the sake of a deposed son?
Even though these princes kept making excuses and refused to admit that they had ever trampled on their brothers on horseback, there were so many people present that it was not something they could just say did not happen.
The fourth prince was the best rider and the fastest runner. When he fell off his horse and rolled several times and was kicked by the horse's hooves, the frightened and mad horse started fighting with other horses, which caused the other princes behind him to lose control of the situation on the field.
The Fourth Prince could only use his hands to protect his head, unable to move his body. Because he was trampled too many times by the horses' hooves, the Fourth Prince was completely disabled, with severe internal bleeding, and he has not woken up to this day.
Is the prince dissatisfied because he thinks he is not wrong?
If he has no sympathy for his own brothers, what kind of attitude will he have towards his father?
"Those who are not suspects will be sent back to the mansion tomorrow morning. Those who are suspects will all be locked up in the Dali Temple. Remember to instruct the jailers not to let them get sick. These are not ordinary prisoners and torture is not allowed. Song Qingting and Zhou Zhiying should be properly arranged and treated with courtesy."
The prince received the order and went down to do his work.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely blame me for being nosy and will insist on finding out the truth. But the prince is already in this state, and if I, as his mother, don't seek justice for him, I wonder how heartbroken he will be when he wakes up."
Concubine Luo cried softly. The emperor rubbed his brows, suppressed his irritation, hugged her and comforted her. After all, she was an old friend who had been with him since the time in the palace. She had always been gentle and considerate. Now that she was a mother, he could understand that she was a little strong.
What's more, the fourth son looks the most like him. If he didn't have a legitimate son, he might really want to let the son who looks most like him inherit his business.
Unfortunately, the fourth son only looked like him but had a different personality. In fact, the emperor felt that none of his sons satisfied him.
The emperor also realized from the incident at the horse farm that the crown prince and the eldest prince were not capable of handling the heavy responsibility, and the same was true for the other princes. The emperor was worried for a while, not knowing who to let succeed to the throne in the future?
Would he really let the crown prince succeed to the throne? But the crown prince's attitude towards his brothers really chilled him. Just as Concubine Luo said, could it be that the fourth son was not as important as a concubine?
Concubine Luo couldn't stand seeing other princes doing well, especially the crown prince. She suspected that it was the crown prince who harmed her son. Since she was crying "the thief is thief", the truth would naturally not be found out.
"Your Majesty, it's strange to say that the concubine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought with him was not recognized by anyone present. I sent someone to the East Palace to visit the concubine and ask about the situation. Guess what happened?
Even the Crown Princess was unaware of the situation. She didn't know who that woman was. She said the Crown Prince didn't take any concubines with him, nor did he send anyone back. So where did she go? Why was she still wearing a veil? Could she be such a stunning beauty that the Crown Prince wouldn't let anyone see her?
The emperor understood what Concubine Luo meant, that the woman was of a different status and could not be seen by others. The emperor guessed that she might be the prince's concubine, but that was strange. Who was the prince of such status that he needed a concubine?
"Alright, I'll send someone to check. Just ignore it and go see if the fourth brother has woken up."
Luo Fei lowered her head and responded.
After the morning court session the next day, a large number of court officials gathered outside the imperial study, waiting to be summoned.
Prime Minister Song, Minister Geng, and Prince Consort Zhou were also among them, as well as other officials whose relatives had not returned home.
The emperor only met with Song, Geng and Zhou, and did not meet with the others. He just told these ministers that those who were not suspected of murdering the fourth prince would be sent back home today.
The eunuch beside the emperor announced the results of the prince's investigation to the ministers.
