Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2102: Something Happened
Empress: "Your Majesty, what’s wrong?"
The Emperor, with an angry expression, said, "Ask your beloved Imperial Son what good deed he has done this time?"
The Empress looked baffled and asked, "Who? The Second Prince? Or the Fourth Prince?"
The Emperor: "Who else but the rebellious Fourth Prince; never resting, he has crippled himself and still won’t stop."
The Empress paused: "Xuanxuan? What... what happened to him? Wasn’t he staying well in the fourth prince’s mansion?"
The Emperor tossed a piece of letter in his hand to the Empress: "Take a look yourself. See what your beloved Imperial Son has done?"
This morning, as soon as the Emperor woke up, he received this kind of report, which infuriated him. The Fourth Prince was already disabled, yet he couldn’t keep quiet.
The Empress picked up the letter and examined it back and forth several times but did not find any issue. The letter only mentioned that many corpses were found at the fourth prince’s mansion.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Son hasn’t done anything wrong. With so many corpses found in his mansion, he is also a victim," the Empress cautiously said.
The Emperor: "Who would believe that? So many corpses appearing in the fourth prince’s mansion and you say it has nothing to do with him?"
The Empress, skilled in palace intrigue, was very intelligent and, of course, knew this matter was not simple. However, as it involved her Imperial Son, she naturally had to speak for him.
The Empress, with a demeanor of virtue and kindness, softly said, "But the letter didn’t say anything about the Imperial Son doing anything wrong!"
The Emperor was exceedingly angry: "Anyone with a brain would understand, does this even need to be said?"
The Empress thought for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, why don’t I send someone to bring the Fourth Prince to the palace for careful questioning, and then we’ll know what happened."
The Emperor also wanted to know what had happened, so he nodded: "Alright, you should go!"
So many corpses appeared at the fourth prince’s mansion, and the methods matched exactly with the recently emerged murderous Demon, who kills people before gouging out their eyes.
As a member of the Imperial Family, every move of the Fourth Prince represents the family. If associated with the murderous Demon, how could the Emperor not be anxious?
The Emperor was not worried that the Fourth Prince was the murderous Demon, but he was concerned that others might use the Fourth Prince to kill and then attribute the crime to him, wouldn’t that bring disgrace to the Imperial Family and dishonor him as the Emperor?
"Yes, this concubine takes leave."
After returning to the palace hall, the Empress dared not delay and immediately dispatched a few confidants to bring the Fourth Prince to the Imperial Palace.
A few Shichen Chinese Time later, the Fourth Prince rode into the Imperial Palace in a carriage.
Fengyang Palace.
The Empress sat gracefully on a stool, wearing a long golden phoenix robe, a golden hairpin on her head, and a soft ribbon over her shoulders, looking stunningly beautiful.
"Son Xuanxuan pays respects to Empress Mother."
"Mm, Xuanxuan, rise."
"Thank you, Empress Mother.
"Mother, you summoned your son to the palace, what’s the matter?"
Not seen for a while, the Fourth Prince was noticeably more cheerful than before.
:The Empress pondered for a moment, then said: "Xuanxuan, what happened at the mansion? Tell Empress Mother in detail."
The Fourth Prince’s heart skipped a beat: "Mother, you know."
The Empress: "It’s not only Empress Mother who knows, even your imperial father is alarmed."
The Fourth Prince: "How did Father know?"
The Empress: "As the ruler of a nation, what wouldn’t the Emperor know? Son, tell Empress Mother what exactly happened."
The Fourth Prince: "Mother, this whole thing is very surprising, even for your son. I don’t know who is so malicious to kill so many servants in the mansion, the government office is investigating. Once it’s clear, your son will inform you immediately!"
