Chapter 285 The Prince is Under House Arrest
At this moment, a jade fan suddenly flew out from the hall at high speed, with a sharp internal force, and hit the prince's face directly. Before the prince could react, he was hit so hard that he saw stars!
Then, the King of Qin rushed out like a gust of wind, and kicked the prince hard in the lower abdomen.
The kick was so powerful that the prince had no time to dodge. He was kicked far away and fell heavily to the ground.
Nanzhi was shocked when she saw this scene. Her pupils suddenly contracted and her expression froze in astonishment. She quickly stepped forward to support Luo Lingyue, her movements were swift and decisive. Her hand tightly grasped Luo Lingyue's arm, her eyes full of concern and nervousness.
She asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law! How are you? Are you hurt?" There was obvious worry in her voice, as if she was afraid that Luo Lingyue would be hurt.
Luo Lingyue seemed to have not recovered from the shock just now. Her body was trembling slightly, and she covered her face with her hands and cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She sobbed and said, "Prince! I have no grudge against you! Even if you are jealous of my cousin and husband's achievements, you shouldn't attack a woman like me, right?" Her tone was full of grievance and helplessness, and also revealed her confusion and anger at the prince's behavior.
The ministers and Emperor Wen around also witnessed what had just happened. Their faces instantly became extremely ugly. It was unbelievable that the prince actually wanted to kill Princess Wu'an.
Emperor Wen frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. He glared at the crown prince and shouted, "You evil son! How dare you do such a thing? I personally conferred the title of Princess Wu'an on you, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Emperor Wen's voice was full of majesty and anger, which made the whole scene suddenly quiet.
Prime Minister Li Mingfu was the first to react. He widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Your Highness the Crown Prince! Have you drunk too much? How can you treat Princess Wu'an like this!" His voice was full of rebuke and dissatisfaction, and he was obviously very disappointed with the Crown Prince's behavior.
At this moment, Chu Chengli finally came to his senses from his previous angry expression. He realized that he had made a big mistake and was a little panicked.
Fortunately, the prime minister's words reminded him! He quickly regained his composure and pretended to be drunk, trying to cover up his gaffe.
The prince knew deep down that Luo Lingyue had tricked him! This cunning woman had clearly been deliberately trying to anger him, and then waited for this moment to come.
Xiao Jinghan walked out of the hall with a pale face. His lips were bloodless, as if he would faint at any moment. He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes revealing despair and helplessness. Before he could speak, a fishy and sweet taste rushed up his throat and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wen was horrified: "Quickly call the imperial physician! Prince Wu'an, what happened to you? Why are you so weak?" Emperor Wen's voice was full of anxiety and worry.
Xiao Jinghan laughed coldly, and his laughter was filled with endless bitterness and self-mockery: "Your Majesty, there is no need to bother to summon the imperial physician. I am a sickly person, and now I can't even protect my own princess. How can I have the face to live in this world? Your Majesty, why don't you let me die..." His voice gradually became lower and lower, and finally almost disappeared.
Emperor Wen was also saddened when he heard this. He knew that Xiao Jinghan had always been in poor health, but he did not expect that he had reached such a state. However, Emperor Wen also felt helpless and sad about Prince Wu'an's self-blame and self-abandonment.
Emperor Wen was furious and shouted angrily: "Look at what nonsense you are talking about! Someone, help Prince Wu'an to the palace to rest, and send the imperial physician to treat Prince Wu'an!"
He turned to look at the prince again and roared in anger: "Wake the prince up quickly! He is such a good-for-nothing evildoer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch beside him immediately brought a basin of ice-cold water and poured it on the prince without hesitation.
On this cold winter day, the prince was suddenly splashed with cold water on his face, and he shuddered and woke up suddenly. He shook his head, looked around blankly, and muttered to himself: "Is it raining? Why is it so cold..."
When Emperor Wen saw the prince's appearance, he was so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at the prince and roared, "Come here! Take this evil creature back to the East Palace! No one is allowed to let him out without my order!"
When the queen heard this, she panicked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, calm down! The prince is just drunk and has no other intentions!"
However, her explanation did not calm Emperor Wen's anger.
Emperor Wen shouted angrily at the empress: "Does he have to wait until he really puts the sword to my neck before it can be considered that he has other intentions? As a mother, how can you indulge your son like this?"
After saying this, Emperor Wen turned to the crown prince and shouted, "You rebellious son, kneel down before me!"
The prince was frightened by Emperor Wen's roar, but he was still drunk and stood there without any reaction.
Emperor Wen was furious when he saw this. He pointed at the prince and cursed, "Well, you have grown so powerful that you dare not even listen to me! Someone, take the prince away and lock him up. No one is allowed to release him without my order!"
Upon hearing Emperor Wen's decree, the empress quickly pleaded: "Your Majesty, please spare the prince! After all, he is your own flesh and blood!"
Emperor Wen glanced at the Queen coldly and said, "Humph, it is precisely because he is my own flesh and blood that I cannot let him do whatever he wants. If the King of Qin had not acted in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. From today on, the Crown Prince will be confined to the East Palace and reflect on his mistakes!"
The prince was taken away, and Emperor Wen comforted Prince Wu'an and his wife for a while, then left with the imperial concubine!
All the ministers also left the palace and returned to their homes.
The King of Qin and his four companions were sitting in the carriage. He handed the jade bone fan he had picked up from the ground to Xiao Jinghan.
He looked up at Xiao Jinghan, his eyes full of smiles: "Brother-in-law! Your acting is too fake! Don't spit blood all the time!"
Xiao Jinghan took the fan, fanned it a few times, then put it in his arms and replied with a smile: "I have a lot of blood! Just consider it as detoxification! This bastard really dared to attack my princess!"
After hearing this, the King of Qin was a little angry, but he couldn't help but teasing: "Then you don't have to fight so hard! What if you really die?"
Xiao Jinghan sneered: "I won't die that easily! It's just spitting out some blood, it's not a big deal. Besides, if I don't do this, how can I ignite His Majesty's anger?"
The King of Qin nodded and said in agreement: "That's right. This time it's all thanks to you! But I didn't expect that the prince would be so bold..."
Xiao Jinghan narrowed his eyes coldly, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Chengli is so hateful!"
Princess Nanzhi, who was standing by, was so angry that her face turned red. She shouted angrily, "Just confining him is too easy for him! You too, why don't you continue to suppress him? Are you going to let him get away with it?"
The King of Qin stood aside, his eyes piercingly cold, like the cold wind of winter. He calmly replied: "After all, he is the crown prince of Dazhao and has a noble status. If we suppress him too aggressively, it may not only arouse the resentment of the ministers, but also cause unrest in the court. Doing so will not benefit us."
