Li Jixian felt that he had been grievously wronged.
Who the hell drew what just happened and sent it to the Emperor so “promptly”?
Li Jixian became more and more suspicious that the incident was related to the Prince of Wei.
Of course, he had no evidence, and it could have been someone else.
But apart from the Prince of Wei, he didn’t think he had offended anyone with the power to do this.
“Emperor Father, this is an injustice against your son. Please let me explain!”
“What is there to explain? Just tell me whether this painting is real or not!”
“It is…” Li Jixian waved his hands hurriedly, “but things did not happen like this, Emperor Father. I was just shocked by the content of this note and asked someone to investigate it.”
“You sent your retinue to inquire after children?” The Emperor sneered coldly.
“I don’t know whether you’re stupid or if you think I’m stupid.”
“Your son would not dare! But it’s not what you think, Emperor Father. I did not abuse those children; I only asked them a few questions. My attendants were foolish, but how could they dare to publicly beat the children?”
“Oh, so it’s okay if they do it in private?”
“No, I didn’t mean that…”
“Fool!”
The Emperor roared in anger.
Li Jixian quickly bent down with his forehead on the ground.
The Emperor returned to his seat behind the table, fuming, “By acting so recklessly, you’ve embarrassed the royal family! Do you think I can rely on you if you behave like this now that you’re the Crown Prince? Starting today, you will be confined to the East Palace for half a year, and you will no longer be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue. Let someone competent handle them!”
Li Jixian’s face changed drastically, but he dared not cry out injustice again and bowed his head to thank the Emperor for his mercy.
When he returned to the East Palace, he was so angry that he smashed everything in the room.
Being confined for half a year was a severe punishment for a Crown Prince. Not only that, but the Emperor had also stripped him of the additional positions he held.
The Ministry of Revenue governed the finances of the empire, while the Ministry of Justice was in charge of punishment.
Both these departments were of utmost importance and wielded power and wealth.
Once he lost these two strongholds, more than half of his strength would be gone.
It could be said that he had been severely weakened.
How could he not be angry and upset?
“If I find out who plotted against me, I’ll make sure they have no place to be buried.” He held a broken cup in his hand, emitting a murderous aura.
However, anger aside, he was now confined for half a year, unable to leave the East Palace, and had lost his positions in the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Revenue.
Even if he wanted to investigate, it would be difficult.
If he wanted to investigate, it wasn’t impossible.
However, he had just angered the Emperor, and if he stirred up any more trouble at this time, the Emperor would definitely not spare him.
For now, he could only swallow his anger and bide his time.
Yun Dai sat in a meditation room at the Sandai Temple, laughing uproariously as she slapped the table.
Huang Ying knelt at her side, holding tea with a slight smile on her face.
Jiang Yi, sitting across from Yun Dai, looked at her helplessly as she laughed wildly: “Seventh Sister, can you be a little more ladylike? Don’t laugh like that.” “Hahaha!” Yun Dai couldn’t help but laugh, “Every time I think about Li Jixian’s pathetic appearance when he was beaten as an adulterer, I can’t help laughing. It’s just too hilarious! That must have been the most shameful night of his life!”
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but smile as well: “Seventh Sister, you truly are clever. With just a small trick, you manipulated the Crown Prince to this extent. Did you know that I just received news that the Emperor was furious? He has confined the Crown Prince for half a year and removed him from his positions in the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Revenue. He has suffered greatly this time..”
