Chapter 23: The Object of Doubt
As soon as Luo Qinghan walked into the meeting hall, he was asked by the emperor about the poisoned wine last night.
"Do you think the boss poisoned you?"
The eldest prince Luo Yechen couldn't help but interjected: "Father, my son did not poison me, I am wronged!"
The emperor snapped: "Shut up!"
Luo Yechen was scolded so much that he shrunk his shoulders and shut his mouth angrily.
The emperor stared at Luo Qinghan and asked again.
"Prince, I want to hear your thoughts. Do you really think the boss did this?"
Luo Qinghan: "Eldest brother is not that kind of vicious person. Even if there is any conflict between our brothers, he will not poison me. My guess is that someone else used the eldest brother's hand to poison me. If the plan succeeds, my son will
I and my eldest brother will be finished. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone."
After he said these words, it was obvious that the emperor's expression relaxed a little.
The emperor looked at Luo Yechen and asked in a deep voice: "Did you hear what the prince said?"
Luo Yechen lowered his head: "I heard it."
"You were yelling just now that the prince deliberately wronged you."
Luo Yechen knelt down and said, "I am being narrow-minded. I accept my punishment."
The emperor's eyes passed over the ten princes present one by one, and he spoke word by word.
"I know that you are dissatisfied with the fact that the third child was appointed as the prince, but you have to remember that you are brothers and the same blood flows in your bodies! I will never allow fratricide in our family.
Do you understand what happened?"
The princes' hearts trembled, and they knelt down and bowed their heads in unison.
"My son, I will obey my father's teachings!"
The emperor calmed down and signaled to all the princes that they could leave. Only the prince Luo Qinghan was left behind.
The emperor looked at Luo Qinghan in front of him and hesitated before speaking.
"Prince, you were assassinated last time during a hunt, and this time you were poisoned in wine. What are your thoughts?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "My son has sent people to investigate these two matters. I believe the truth will be revealed soon."
"Do you have any suspicion?"
"not yet."
"Have you ever doubted your brothers?"
"No."
The emperor nodded: "It's okay if you don't. Although you are the prince, you are also my son. I don't want the future prince of the Dasheng Dynasty to be a cold-blooded person that even my brothers will doubt."
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and responded: "I understand that there must be a traitor who wants to sow feelings between our brothers. I will not be fooled. Please rest assured, father."
"If you can understand this, it's not a waste of my trust in you."
…
It was already noon when Luo Qinghan came out of the meeting hall.
He stood on the steps and looked at the towering palaces in front of him.
The father hopes that their brothers can love each other.
But living in this palace, facing the temptation of power, how many people can really hold on to the bottom line?
Eunuch Chang asked cautiously: "Your Highness, are you going back to the East Palace now?"
"Go to Jiaofang Palace."
Jiaofang Hall is the Queen's residence. She has just finished her lunch and is preparing to take a lunch break.
Luo Qinghan stepped forward to greet him: "My son, I wish to express my regards to my mother."
Empress Qin always has a cold and dignified appearance. Even though this is Jiaofang Palace, even if she is facing the child she raised by herself, she still sits upright and there is no flaw in her body.
"I heard that you were poisoned last night."
"I reported back to my mother that I did not drink the poisonous wine and my health is not serious."
