"Father... Royal father..." the fifth prince stammered, with unconcealable panic flashing deep in his pupils.
"You still know that I am your father." The emperor sat on the chair, looking down at the fifth prince, his sharp eyes shot out with coldness, and the strong coercion made the fifth prince almost out of breath, and struggled to get up , knelt on the ground, and kowtowed straight: "I know I'm wrong... the father is kind, the father is kind..."
"Oh, you know your mistake." The emperor looked at the fifth prince coldly: "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't plot against the fourth emperor, I shouldn't murder my father, I shouldn't kill my father and usurp the throne... My son is not filial... My son is ashamed of my father..." The fifth prince said incoherently, crying, which made people feel sympathy .
The emperor didn't respond, he still looked at him coldly and said, "Then you know, what should you do?" The emperor's voice was cold and questioning.
The fifth prince didn't want to answer, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Return to the father, plot against brothers, be executed for the crime, assassinate the emperor, be executed for the crime, kill the father and usurp the throne, be executed for the crime..." The three pressed The crime should be executed, the fifth prince trembled when he heard it, and he didn't care to answer any more. He kowtowed again and begged for mercy: "Father, please be kind, father, please be kind... My son will never dare again, never dare again..."
Just now he was arrogant and arrogant, but now he has lowered his posture and begged for forgiveness. The fifth prince is really able to stretch and bend. I wonder if the emperor will forgive him
Murong Xue looked at the emperor with great interest, only to see that the emperor's face was still gloomy, and he looked at the fifth prince coldly and said, "How do you want me to be kind to you?"
"Returning to the father, the son-in-law only asks the father to spare the life of the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is willing to live in another courtyard all his life, eat fast, chant Buddha, and pray for the father." The fifth prince said sincerely.
But Murong Xue heard that Liu Mei raised her eyebrows lightly, this is... confinement, the fifth prince wants to confine himself.
Well, in history, the princes who failed to usurp the throne by killing their fathers were given to death, and the five princes were imprisoned themselves to save their lives.
He is smart.
However, whether he can save his life depends on the emperor's will.
Murong Xue looked at the emperor again, only to see the emperor pondering for a moment, and said: "Eat fast and recite the Buddha, there is no need to pray for me. Now there is a shortage of people at the border, so you will be demoted to the common people, sent to the border, and you will never be able to return to Beijing."
The emperor's voice was icy and cold, and there was a trace of anger faintly, but to the fifth prince's ears, it was the sound of heaven. It was really great that the father didn't behead him and give him death.
"Thank you, Father." The fifth prince's crisp voice was full of joy.
Murong Xue blinked, the emperor actually let the fifth prince go, instead of killing him, he committed the crime of murdering his father and usurping the throne...
"After all, they are biological father and son." A barely audible Qingyue voice came to her ears, and Murong Xue knew in her heart that yes, no matter how unfilial the fifth prince is, he is also the emperor's own son, and his relationship with the emperor is not good, but also It's not bad, and when the fifth prince forced the palace, apart from poisoning the emperor, he didn't hurt the emperor too much. It's not surprising that the emperor didn't kill him...
"Come here, take Ye Tianzhe to prison." The emperor ordered coldly.
"Yes." The Yulin army who arrived late came forward and dragged the fifth prince down.
"Tianqi, I'll leave the rest to you." The emperor half-closed his eyes, and said weakly, as if he was very tired.
"Yes." Ye Tianqi took the order.
The emperor looked at the second prince: "Send me back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
"Yes." The second prince took the order and called two imperial guards to move the emperor to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and also called one of the imperial guards to invite the imperial physician.
Murong Xue stood in the imperial study room, looking at the figure of the emperor gradually walking away, and blinked lightly: "The two princes, one sent him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the other was in charge of mopping up the fifth prince's usurpation of the throne. quite reasonable...
"Emperor, the allocation is naturally reasonable." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, holding Murong Xue's little hand, and leading her to go outside. The fifth prince has been arrested, and the imperial study room full of blood and corpses is not suitable for further study. Stay for a long time...
