In the end, what happened in Ming Qi could not be hidden from the world.
For some reason, the death of Huangfu Hao at the hands of the crown prince gradually began to spread in the marketplace. Emperor Wen Hui wanted to lock up Huangfu Hao’s guards. Now that the situation had become out of control, if he could not suppress it, Ming Qi would fall into chaos.
However, how could the people in Huangfu Hao’s mansion sit back and do nothing? When the news reached the ears of the State of Qin’s emperor, in just a few days, someone rushed to Ming Qi to deliver a letter, saying that Emperor Wen Hui must give them an explanation. Otherwise, they would send troops to wipe out Ming Qi!
If it were the State of Qin in the past, Ming Qi would naturally be able to fight back. However, now that with the Daliang Dynasty lurking at the side, if the Stage of Qin declared war at this juncture, Ming Qi would really be finished.
Under the pressure of the irrefutable evidence, Emperor Wen Hui had no choice but to lock the crown prince up too.
The older Emperor Wen Hui got, the less decisive he was compared to when he was young. Not to mention what other princes would think of this move, even the court officials felt disappointed. In order to protect himself, he was willing to sacrifice his son even though he knew that there was something fishy about the crown prince assassinating Huangfu Hao.
However, as a matter of fact, the reason why Emperor Wen Hui locked the crown prince up was not only because he wanted to appease the emperor of the State of Qin, but also because he wanted the crown prince to be safe. Those guards of Huangfu Hao wanted to seek revenge for their master. If the crown prince was careless, it was not impossible for him to die at the hands of those guards. Now that the crown prince had become a prisoner and there were so many people guarding the prison, nothing bad would happen.
Unfortunately, no one understood Emperor Wen Hui’s true intention. Seeing that her son was locked up, the empress was anxious.
As soon as the empress entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she asked angrily, “Your Majesty, you clearly know that the crown prince was wronged. Why did you still lock him up? Have you thought about how the officials will look at him in the future?”
Emperor Wen Hui frowned. He did not like the feeling of being questioned very much, so he said, “I have my own reasons.”
Emperor Wen Hui still had some respect for the empress. The empress was his first wife. Back then, when the late emperor was alive, the competition for the throne was as fierce as it was today. If not for the support of the empress’s family, Emperor Wen Hui might not have ended up getting the throne. Therefore, Emperor Wen Hui was willing to give the empress some respect. Moreover, the empress was the crown prince’s biological mother.
Not to mention that the empress was indeed considered a good empress. She did not get jealous and managed the harem well.
“I beg Your Majesty to retract your order.” The empress said, “The crown prince still has to face the court officials in the future. What Your Majesty is doing will cause the people in the world to misunderstand!” In the past, the empress would never refute Emperor Wen Hui’s decision, but as a mother, she was always especially sensitive to what happened to her son. The empress did not allow anything to impede the crown prince’s future.
Moreover, this time, it wasn’t a small matter. Once the crime of murdering the crown prince of the State of Qin was proven, it would probably be very difficult for Fu Xiuyan to be spared a life. Although the empress did not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, it did not mean that she did not know anything about the affairs of the imperial court.
Emperor Wen Hui had been overwrought by this matter for the past few days and was extremely frustrated. Coupled with the fact that the empress was interfering, he immediately said impatiently, “I don’t need you to tell me what to do!”
