Chapter 1860: Chapter 1860: The Prince’s Gift
“Madam Situ, please forgive .”
The Fourth Prince was kneeling in the street begging for forgiveness. If this reached The Emperor’s ears, his reputation would certainly be tarnished, and he would surely bla Long Rui.
Xuexue weighed the situation in her heart, knowing that the false accusation against the Fourth Prince of misconduct was rely to embarrass him, and had little effect. She understood that if they angered The Emperor, the consequences would outweigh the benefits, so it was best to stop while ahead.
“Since the Fourth Prince has shown sincerity in his apology, let’s forget about this incident. However, if there is a next ti, I’ll have the Prince ask The Emperor what the Royal Family ans by acting this way?”
Xuexue was not foolish; she knew that today’s events would surely reach The Emperor’s ears. So, she cleverly shifted the responsibility for the Fourth Prince’s actions to The Emperor, ensuring that even if he learned of the matter, he would not dare to deal with Long Rui.
The crowd, hearing this, suddenly understood, thinking that The Emperor must have instigated the Fourth Prince’s actions.
If The Emperor acted this way, isn’t he declaring to the world a disagreent with the War Prince?
Instantly, discussions among the people arose, criticizing The Emperor for being ungrateful. Years ago, when Moli Country was nearly defeated by a neighboring country and almost lost the throne, it was the War Prince who led troops to reclaim it. Now, that The Emperor’s throne is secure, is he ready to betray his benefactor?
The discussions among the common people reached the ears of the Fourth Prince, making his expression indescribably bitter. He knew that having caused such a trouble today, his imperial father would not spare him.
At this point, further entanglent would only complicate the situation, so the Fourth Prince had no choice but to leave with his n.
Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Xuexue, this vile woman nearly cost him his life, not to ntion now she’s frad him for misconduct and dragged his imperial father into this.
Despite the hatred burning in his heart, the Fourth Prince was pressured to temporarily leave the War Prince’s Mansion. Having caused trouble today, his imperial father certainly wouldn’t spare him, so he had to quickly go to the palace to discuss with his Empress Mother how to deal with his imperial father.
The Fourth Prince left in a hurry.
The people surrounded Situtu Xueer, showing concern: “Madam Situ, are you frightened?”
Xuexue wiped away her tears and pitifully said, “Today, I owe much to everyone’s help. Without it, I would have been disgraced by the Fourth Prince.”
Situtu Xueer’s pitiful appearance aroused everyone’s protective instincts, and they imdiately spoke with righteous indignation: “The Fourth Prince is too outrageous! How can he treat a madam like this in public!”
“Indeed! Why don’t we find a scholar, draft The Petition of the People, and report him to The Emperor? Madam Situ, what do you think?” soone in the crowd suggested.
Xuexue knew well that The Emperor was protective, and even drafting The Petition of the People would be ineffective, possibly implicating unrelated parties. So she said, “Thank you all for your kindness, offending the Imperial Family is no joke, I’ve received your good intentions, and the Prince and I are grateful, but please go ho.”
Finally, the common people reluctantly left, repeatedly reminding Situtu Xueer before departing that should the Prince need anything, they would always step forward, The Petition of the People was just a small gesture.
After all, their peaceful lives were all thanks to the Prince. Over the years, without the War Prince defending Moli Country, they wouldn’t have been able to live in peace but would have faced smoke and misery.
The War Prince’s Mansion’s entrance finally returned to tranquility.
Zi Xia sighed in relief, saying, “Young lady, after all that trouble from the Fourth Prince, aren’t you tired? Quick, return to the mansion and rest.”
