Chapter 624: Sever Him
The servant lowered his head and gritted his teeth. ” First Young Master has offended the Crown Prince many times along the way, saying that His Highness… is a cripple, saying that…
“His Highness is incompetent. After being the Crown Prince for so many years, there isn’t a single person in the court who is on his side. He will be crippled sooner or later!”
The emperor’s expression was already grim.
” First Young Master had his subordinates secretly follow His Highness. However… I thought it was inappropriate and didn’t dare to disobey the order, so I paid little attention to Master Mo… Master Mo and His Highness often discussed the case together. After that… First Young Master said that they’re having an affair, but I… didn’t see them doing anything over the line.” Another guard added.
What he said was the truth!
The Crown Prince was extremely gentle toward Master Mo. He treated her differently compared to people around him, but there was nothing wrong with his actions!
Then, one by one, they began to point out Zhao Xuzhi’s mistakes.
Zhao Xuzhi’s face turned pale.
The reason being not only did they say that the Crown Prince and Master Mo had nothing on, they even said that he was disrespectful to the Crown Prince!
Why were these traitors acting like this?!
Zhao Xuanjing did not stay idle for the past two days.
With his status, he could have made Zhao Xuzhi suffer unspeakably. However, over the past few years, had he ever respected him?
In the past, he did not care about the position of being the Crown Prince. However, from the looks of it, if he continued to do as he pleased in the future, his wife and children would also suffer along with him.
Xie Qiao was pure. He would not let her bear the bad reputation with him.
Therefore, he went to Prince Ning Bei to pressure him.
Most of the people behind Zhao Xuzhi came from Prince Ning Bei’s residence. With Prince Ning Bei’s agreement, how could Zhao Xuzhi, the eldest son, have any status?
The emperor was very upset.
He wished that he could draw his sword and kill this ignorant b*stard!
“Talking about the Crown Prince indiscriminately, he deserves to be punished! Lock him up and imprison him forever!” The emperor almost spat fire.
This b*stard son actually dared to say that the Crown Prince was a good-for-nothing?!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Especially when he remembered that Zhao Xuzhi had sent calligraphy works and paintings to the palace banquets many times earlier, and even brandished his sword in a flashy manner, he instantly became even angrier. He pointed at his right arm and ordered, “Sever his arm!”
The hearts of the ministers who were called over trembled.
The emperor was now angry and ordered someone to execute him on the spot!
The guard slashed with his sword. With a splash, the blood splattered everywhere, and Zhao Xuzhi’s arm fell off instantly. Zhao Xuzhi howled twice and fainted on the spot.
“Stop the bleeding for him. Don’t let him die! I want him to look at my son in charge of the Qianyuan Empire with his own eyes in the future!” The emperor gnashed his teeth.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Zhao Xuanjing’s face.
When he was a teenager, he was confused. He did not understand why the expressions of all the court officials would change so quickly.
Later, whenever he heard his father talk about the country, he came to a realization.
The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind first.
His father did not intend to kill him, but it had caused his reputation to be tarnished over the years.
His father had already dealt with those who tried to attack him before he could even speak. Especially a few years ago, his father had suffered a great blow because of the injury on his hand, so the punishments were a little more vicious.
According to his father, if he had to hide from doting on his eldest son, would everyone in the world not do the same?
So he let him be.
“Not to mention that the Crown Prince and Mo Chusheng didn’t have an affair, even if they did, as a father, if I am willing, I allow them to do that as a parent. Who among you dares to say anything about that?!” The emperor glared at those officials. “Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking. You don’t care about me deducting your salary and don’t listen to me even if I make you reflect on your actions…You are so arrogant. Do you really think that I don’t dare to do anything to the Fourth and Fifth Prince?! Pass down my decree, I confer the Fourth and Fifth Prince…”
