Chapter 1183 Golden Cage (16)

"I let you speak." The emperor was angry, and the majesty on his body was no joke.

Concubine Li also paused uneasily. Rui'er usually had a bad temper and often took it out on the palace maids and servants. During the banquet, the fifth prince stayed with them and couldn't help but think a little too much.

Naturally, she wouldn't think anything of it. How could a prince who was a palace girl be compared to her prince? But if things were really like that, he would probably leave a vicious impression on the emperor. After thinking about it for a while, he cried and said, "Your Majesty..."

"Shut up." The emperor's face turned livid, "Didn't you say that the fifth prince put the blame on the fourth and sixth princes? Then let them explain clearly."

Concubine Li's face changed slightly, she opened her mouth, and pinched the fourth prince secretly, "Rui'er, my father is asking you something, you should tell the truth."

The fourth prince groaned in his heart and said vaguely, "Father, my sixth brother and I originally wanted to go to the toilet. When we saw the fifth brother sneaking around in the pavilion alone, we went over to ask for an explanation. There was a little dispute, and then the ninth sister Here we are, we definitely did not push Ninth Sister down, and when we came to our senses, Fifth Brother fell into the lake with Ninth Sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sixth prince also said, "Yes, father, we did not push the ninth sister. It must have been the fifth brother who pushed her down."

Concubine Shu followed up and said, "Your Majesty, although Feng'er is a little younger than the fifth prince, I have always taught him well and will never do such a reckless thing."

The emperor's expression became more and more uncertain as the several people exchanged words with each other.

Shen Mubai coughed hard several times, and his little face became paler, "Mother, I want to see if the fifth brother is awake? If he hadn't pushed Luo'er up, Luo'er might not be able to see him at night. Mother and concubine."

Concubine Rong touched her head, raised her eyes and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I don't believe Luo'er can lie either."

"Concubine Rong, Ninth Princess, you are going too far! Why do you think Rui'er and the Sixth Prince did this?" Concubine Li was so angry that her face turned pale and she gritted her teeth.

"That's enough. I have made my own decision on this matter. Come and bring those slaves!" the emperor said solemnly.

After a while, the eunuchs and maids who were serving at the banquet that day came in, knelt down and saluted, "See your Majesty."

The emperor looked at them and said in a majestic tone, "During the banquet, you can see when the fourth prince, fifth prince and sixth prince left?"

The eunuchs and maids looked at each other, not knowing what had happened, and they all said in great panic, "Go back to the emperor, I don't know."

"It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor, and the nine clans will be implicated!" The emperor's eyes were sharp, "Tell us everything you saw that day. If you conceal the truth or change it, I will not forgive you!"

At this time, the palace maids and slaves started to tremble. One of the palace maids said weakly, "Your Majesty, the slaves have seen it."

Everyone looked sideways.

"Tell me." The emperor stood in front of her, "Tell me everything you saw."

The fourth and sixth princes felt their hearts tightening. They glanced at each other and saw the panic on each other's faces.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid's voice was trembling, frightened and panicked, "The fifth prince was sitting there peacefully, but the fourth and sixth princes came over, ordered the guards to cover his mouth, and took him away. "
