Chapter 217: Letting the crown prince take the throne, is this an attempt to force the emperor to ab
"I know everything, Father. Your temperament has changed over the years, and the Queen has always been so strong. I have spent a lot of effort to keep myself and my mother alive in the harem."
Cough, cough, cough... Jing Muyang coughed a few more times.
"When my eldest brother was seriously ill, he was the crown prince. Why did the imperial physician take so long to arrive?"
"What do you want to say? Do you know who you are?!" The emperor was furious. This son who had always obeyed him actually questioned him today.
"Father, that day Bai Lishang said he could prove that you didn't steal Nanbang's queen, why didn't you ask him to say it on the spot?"
"I didn't do this at all. It doesn't matter to me whether he can prove it or not. And how can he prove it?" The emperor waved his sleeves.
"No, you are afraid of getting proof from him that the eldest brother is your son."
"Jing! Mu! Yang! Don't I know whether the former crown prince is my son? Look at you, you are so rebellious. You rely on your current strength and ignore me, your father, right? Huh?" The emperor was so angry that he was going crazy.
"Father, I know why you indulge Fifth Brother so much."
"You! Get out! Get out!"
The emperor really couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't know why he was so angry. Did he indulge Jing Muhao? How did he indulge Jing Muhao? !
Compared to how good he was to Crown Prince Jing Muchen, his frequent confinement of Jing Muhao was really not good at all. Jing Muyang was just lying with his eyes open!
"Father, my mother has been hiding in the Eastern Palace for the whole day. I will send her back to Yonghe Palace. I will also send someone to convey the message to Concubine Ming.
Also, the people sent by your Majesty have repeatedly obstructed Qingya's investigation. I have already had them dealt with. I hope your Majesty will not interfere in the affairs of your Fifth Brother. Your Majesty and your brother, the Crown Prince, will definitely not wrongly accuse him.
Moreover, Father has not attended the court for two days because of this matter. It is not wise for a monarch to delay the court affairs. If Father is not energetic enough, let the Crown Prince attend the court."
Jing Muyang waved his hand and asked Qingmu to invite Dean He in before he left. Everything was very natural and everything was for the emperor's sake. But why did the emperor feel like he was being tricked?
Why? He couldn't understand why a great emperor would be bullied by his son. The key point was that he could obviously refute and suppress it, but he always felt insecure.

Dean He stepped forward at the right time to check on the emperor. He had been standing outside the door with great fear and trepidation. Prince Zhan only asked him to accompany him into the palace but did not say that he was here to irritate the emperor.
The emperor glared at Dean He and said, "You are following that brat now, right?"
"I dare not." Dean He withdrew his hand slightly and knelt on the ground, then took out two pills from his arms, "Your Majesty, please take them first, the dragon's body is more important."
"What's the big deal? They all just want to irritate me, especially this Xiaojiu. Look at him now. Not only does he dare to talk back, he also dares to question me and makes up stories.
How could the former queen be disappointed with me? What sins do I want to atone for? When did I indulge Xiaowu? I think this was all taught by Chu Jian Yatou!
That little bitch is always making trouble. She is restless. Why did she come back when she is sitting quietly as the Crown Princess of Nanbang? Why did she come back? "
Dean He said nothing, lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. Eunuch Liu knelt beside him, lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.
"You two have spent the longest time with me. Tell me, when have I ever done such a thing?" The emperor was so angry that he could not contain himself. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhan was young back then, and he didn't understand many things. Don't get angry with yourself." Eunuch Liu stood up and walked to the emperor, patting him on the back to calm him down.
"He said he understands now, but he understands nothing!" The emperor was so angry that he swore.
"Yes, yes, yes, your Majesty is absolutely right. Even now, His Royal Highness Prince Zhan still doesn't understand." Eunuch Liu took the pill from Dean He's hand and said, "Your Majesty, there is no real rift between father and son. His Royal Highness Prince Zhan has always been filial. It's probably because the Fifth Prince really hurt his heart. Young Master Siming almost died today, and Princess Zhan was also vomiting blood and fainted when she was taken away..."
"Her vomiting blood and fainting were not caused by Xiaowu. It was the ice silkworm cold poison in her body. What does it have to do with Xiaowu?! Who knew she was the Saint of Tianshan? I haven't yet investigated her crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Indeed, what the emperor said is correct, but it is also true that Princess Zhan was hunted down in the past. Now she insists that it was the Fifth Prince. I think we should let His Majesty Zhan investigate. If the Fifth Prince has not done it, he will not be afraid."
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Liu and asked, "When did you start to side with Xiao Jiu?"
He felt that there was a high probability that Xiao Wushi had really been frivolous with Chu Jian, otherwise why would he run away? But even if that was the case, didn't Chu Jian have any responsibility at all?
Normally, she doesn't have many rules. Look how close she is to the Fourth Prince, not to mention the guards in Prince Zhan's mansion. They usually fight with each other. She doesn't act like a princess at all.
Eunuch Liu was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I will always stand on the side of the emperor."
"Hmph!" The emperor snatched the pill from his hand and swallowed it.
He wanted to see what Jing Muyang wanted to do. By letting the crown prince take the throne, was he trying to force the emperor to abdicate?

Besides, Jing Muyang was carried to the East Palace. When he entered the palace, he had informed everyone that he would come here. At this moment, Concubine Yun and the prince were waiting for him.
"Mu Yang, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Yun was almost scared to death when she saw her son being carried in.
"Mother, I was slightly injured, it's nothing serious." Jing Muyang held her hand to comfort her, "Mother, Siming's poison has been cured, your son is here to take you back to the palace."
"But the Queen and Concubine Ming... I really can't handle it." Concubine Yun had never won an argument. If it weren't for her husband and son supporting her, she would have been bullied to death.
"I just went to see my father. They won't embarrass you again."
Concubine Yun looked back at Chu Xia and finally nodded, "Okay."
"Ninth brother, there is no need to rush. The dining hall is ready. Let's eat first." The prince said.
"Brother Crown Prince, Sister-in-law, Xiaojiu thanks you very much."
"Xiao Jiu, you should thank Chu Xia. She was the one who went to pick up the imperial concubine."
Chu Xia? Jing Muyang finally looked at Chu Xia. She had changed a lot from before. She had gained some weight, her face was rosy, and her eyes were bright. It seemed that she was living well in the East Palace.
"Thank you, Crown Prince Consort."
"Your Highness Prince Zhan, you don't have to be polite. Chu Xia is just thinking about the Prime Minister's Mansion and my sister." Chu Xia bowed gracefully, showing her ladylike demeanor.
Jing Muyang couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He had been too harsh on Chu Xia back then. He abandoned her so cleanly and did nothing afterwards.
