The Emperor’s face was grim: "This... cough cough..."
Things have co to this point, and if he still defends the Pri Minister, the War Prince on the other side will undoubtedly not accept it. Moreover, with the people of the Capital, just thinking about The Petition of the People gives the Emperor a headache.
In the end, the whole thing was because the Pri Minister was too foolish. If he intended to assassinate, he should have done it discreetly. Why use his own n, leaving the mark of the Pri Minister’s Mansion? You see, isn’t it foolish? Just downright foolish.
The Emperor hesitated, and Long Rui spoke loudly again: "Your Majesty, these n in black carry the mark of the Pri Minister’s Mansion. Since it has been proven that the Pri Minister is the mastermind behind the assassination, please give this humble servant an explanation."
Hearing the War Prince’s words, the Fourth Prince was startled; he also didn’t know what happened.
He just heard Long Rui say that the n in black had the Pri Minister’s Mansion’s mark and imdiately beca anxious. The Pri Minister was the support for him and his mother; they couldn’t let him fall. So, he hurriedly said to the Emperor: "Imperial Father, don’t believe what the War Prince says. What evidence? I think it’s all fabricated to fra my grandfather deliberately."
The Fourth Prince had always suspected that the War Prince was the one who blinded him, and naturally hated him deeply.
Long Rui sneered coldly, saying, "Whether I fabricated it or not, the Pri Minister knows clearly in his heart; it’s not for the Fourth Prince to noisily intervene here."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince turned his head to look at the Pri Minister not far away and asked, "Grandfather, the War Prince is framing you, isn’t he?"
The Fourth Prince prayed continuously in his heart, hoping his grandfather would not admit the n in black were his, even if it ant dying rather than admitting it. Admitting it would be the end.
The Pri Minister looked at the Fourth Prince without speaking; he also didn’t want to admit it, but the facts were undeniable, and even if he didn’t admit it, no one would believe otherwise.
Because the mark of the Pri Minister’s Mansion was unique and couldn’t be easily imitated, any argunts would be in vain.
The Pri Minister remained silent, which made the Fourth Prince anxious: "Grandfather, say sothing!"
Long Rui: "The Fourth Prince is wasting his breath. The Pri Minister, having done sothing unjust, knows he cannot escape the law and has nothing to say."
"Nonsense, my grandfather is not like that." After saying this, the Fourth Prince again said to the Pri Minister: "Grandfather, say sothing! You can’t let others fra you. The Empress Mother is waiting for you to have lunch at Fengyang Palace!"
The Fourth Prince deliberately ntioned the Empress to remind the Pri Minister that they couldn’t lose him, and the charge of assassination could not be admitted.
When Long Rui had those n in black’s shoes removed, the Pri Minister knew it was over. Hearing the Fourth Prince’s words, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply: "Xuanxuan, take good care of your mother in the future; your grandfather can no longer help you."
The Fourth Prince was shocked: "Grandfather, what are you planning to do?"
Enduring severe pain throughout his body, the Pri Minister stood up from his chair, fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed to the Emperor several tis, saying: "Your Majesty, it was my montary confusion that led to the harm of the War Prince. However, I have my reasons, and I beg the Emperor for leniency."
In front of the Civil and Military Officials, the Emperor, being gradually pressured by the War Prince, knew that the Emperor was a narrow-minded person. One day, he would settle this score, so he might as well admit it openly and avoid putting the Emperor in a dilemma.
The Emperor glanced at him, asking: "What reasons does the Pri Minister have to need to commit murder at the War Prince’s Mansion? And send so many of his n?"
