Capítulo 894: 894 Got Frad
“Old Fourth, considering we’re brothers, I won’t hold today’s drunken injury against you. But one mustn’t eat indiscriminately, nor speak recklessly. How could I do sothing so devious? Besides, what benefit would I have from it?”
The Crown Prince’s questioning was rational and well-argued. On the surface, dealing with King Jing did indeed seem to offer him no benefit, especially since King Jing had always stood behind the Crown Prince since childhood.
However, the fact that Ye Jiu was regarded as the Lucky Star was unknown to others, as was the old Emperor’s past intention to change the Crown Prince to King Jing. Thus, this made King Jing seem sowhat unreasonable.
King Jing looked at the Crown Prince, suddenly smiling under the influence of alcohol. But his smile was bitter, “The Crown Prince is right, one mustn’t eat indiscriminately nor speak recklessly. Alas, I have evidence!”
The mont King Jing finished his words, the Crown Prince’s face turned unsightly.
Yet King Jing continued relentlessly, “Why does the Crown Prince’s complexion change? Could it be he’s thinking about how to silence all witnesses in my hands?”
“Fourth Brother, you jest. I am upright, fearing nothing. But Fourth Brother, are you sure you want to make everyone unhappy at this ti of year?” The Crown Prince spoke of justice, but inside he secretly hated King Jing.
Although he didn’t know if King Jing actually had any evidence, just by speaking like this, even if his witness died, he would be the pri suspect.
The most distressed by the situation between the Crown Prince and King Jing was the Empress.
Already not young, in such an environnt, watching her two sons provoke each other through words, she unexpectedly fainted.
Ye Jiu, being closest to the Empress, was the first to notice this.
Another bout of chaos ensued, yet no victor erged between the Crown Prince and King Jing.
The palace feast ended on a sour note.
In the Empress’s main hall, when the Imperial Physician ca out, he said the Empress fainted only due to sudden agitation and it was nothing serious, finally putting everyone’s mind at ease.
However, the old Emperor sternly looked at the two of them, “Behave yourselves. Until the Empress awakens, both of you kneel at her palace door for .”
The Crown Prince cast an angry glance at King Jing, then turned and left, not daring to defy the old Emperor. So, he could only kneel at the palace door, waiting for the Empress to wake.
After the Crown Prince left, King Jing stepped forward, putting an arm around the old Emperor’s shoulder with a brotherly deanor…
After kneeling in the cold wind for quite so ti, the Crown Prince caught a passing palace servant and asked, “Where is King Jing, hasn’t he co yet?”
Clearly, the Emperor punished both of them, and he had been kneeling for a while, yet King Jing hadn’t arrived, leaving the Crown Prince feeling indignant!
“To report to the Crown Prince, King Jing got drunk, acted rudely to the Emperor inside, angered him, and was kicked by the Emperor. Currently, he has already been taken away by Princess Changfu.”
The Crown Prince huffed and puffed in anger.
What a King Jing, and even the Emperor, showing such blatant favoritism!
Truly remarkable!
While the Crown Prince seethed, King Jing was already being helped onto a carriage by Ye Jiu and the Princess Consort.
When they returned to the Royal Residence, King Jing was helped off the carriage by Ye Jiu.
Seizing the chance that the Princess Consort hadn’t alighted yet, Ye Jiu whispered to King Jing, “Hey, stand steady and stop staggering. If you make trip, be careful or I’ll expose your feigned drunkenness later.”
