Chapter 197： No disaster

Looking at the sons who were kneeling in a circle, Emperor Jing Ming kept his face calm for a while without saying a word.

Always give them some time to reflect!

The princes were even more confused.

What did the emperor father call them all for? This posture is definitely not praise.

But they didn't do anything bad. At most, they heard that Lao Qi ran to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint, and he ridiculed him behind him.

When the princes were playing drums in their hearts, Emperor Jingming finally said, "What have you done today?"

The princes looked at each other.

The father's question was so general, it was a bit scary.

Emperor Jingming's sight fell on the prince.

The eldest prince smiled bitterly in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The son has been in the palace, had breakfast and went to the garden for a walk, and then read a book for a while."

Emperor Jingming looked at the prince.

"Erchen has been in the East Palace, used breakfast to go to the garden and walked, and read the book for a while—"

Emperor Jingming interrupted the prince: "Apart from these? Didn't you do anything special?"

A drop of sweat dripped from the prince's forehead.

Not so, he just met a nice court lady in the garden early in the morning, and she dragged her to sleep in the flowers. Isn't his father going to fight for this?

"Huh?" Emperor Jing Ming frowned when the prince didn't answer.

The prince thought of Jinlinwei, put out his deceitful thoughts, and said vaguely: "My son...have a heart-to-heart talk with a court lady..."

"Puff." Someone couldn't help but laugh, and the princes hung their heads lower.

Emperor Jing Ming was so angry, he really didn't think about the assassination of Lao Qi on the prince. After all, the prince was the prince and didn't get involved in the gang fight. He couldn't even think about it.

Never expected that the prince was so absurd and lustful!

Enduring the immediate impulse, Emperor Jingming looked at the third prince: "Lao San, how about you?"

The birth mother of the three princes was humble, so she developed a cautious temperament. Hearing this, he replied: "Erchen took Fu brother for a few laps in the Fuzhong exercise field."

When Emperor Jingming heard this, he was intrigued: "Uh, Brother Fu already knows how to ride a horse?"

The other princes kept their lips secretly.

The third child will be tricky, but it is a pity that the mother concubine is a court lady, no matter how hard she is.

"Just started learning."

Emperor Jingming nodded.

Finally, there is a reliable one. Except for the prince, he actually doesn't have high expectations of other sons, so don't do anything wrong.

Next, Emperor Jingming asked the four princes again, and the five princes had completed the draft, but Emperor Jingming ignored him and asked the sixth and eighth princes.

The fifth prince's heart suddenly went up and down.

Why did the father bypass him? Based on his understanding of the father, it is unlikely that it is because he is relieved. In all likelihood, it is left to the end to clean up——

Sure enough, when Emperor Jingming asked the other princes, his expression suddenly sank when he looked at the fifth prince: "Tell me what you did today!"

When the others heard it, they looked at the five princes and looked wrong.

After a long time, the culprit is the fifth.

"Erchen, Erchen didn't do anything." When the fifth prince became nervous, his mind went blank.

Yu Jin knelt in the corner with a sneer from the corner of his mouth.

As he said, it’s good to charge some interest first if you don’t want to die for the time being.

"Nothing? Then why did you show up near Quezi Alley on Qingtong Street?"

The fifth prince was stunned for a while.

What Qingtong Street Quezi Alley? He obviously went to wander around Dongping Bo Mansion.

"Say!"

With a cold cry, Emperor Jingming made the five princes blurted out: "I don't have any children."

When Emperor Jingming heard this, he became even more angry, and the original two-point suspicion became five-point: "By this time you are still pretending to be stupid? Are you a display of Jinlinwei?"

The fifth prince was wronged: "My son really didn't go to Quezi Alley on Qingtong Street--"

Wait, Quezi Hutong is familiar.

The fifth prince's eyes turned subconsciously, and he inadvertently swept to Yu Jin not far away, suddenly froze, and then his face changed.

He remembered that the place where Lao Qi stayed was. After he came out of the clan mansion, he sent someone to inquire about it, thinking about finding an opportunity to clean up the kid.

Looking at the fifth prince with disappointment, Emperor Jingming said indifferently: "The seventh old man was assassinated near his home today, have you heard of it?"

"I heard about it." The princes said one after another, their eyes looking at the fifth prince more subtle.

The five princes realized afterwards, "Father, the assassination of the seventh brother has nothing to do with the children!"

Why is it unlucky to meet that kid? The fifth prince looked at Yu Jin subconsciously.

Yu Jin turned his eyes and smiled at him slightly.

The fifth prince buzzed his head.

It's over, he couldn't cleanse it after jumping into the Yellow River today.

Looking at the five sons who didn't recruit themselves, Emperor Jingming didn't get angry. "I just asked why you were there!"

If he really wants to find out, how can he let Jinlinwei take the matter over, the fifth is not thinking!

"Erchen——" The fifth prince opened his mouth, unable to find a suitable excuse for a while.

Of course he could not admit the crime of being assassinated as old Qi. He didn't do it in the first place. Who knows which good person is doing the way for the sky, but he can't tell the truth when he is thinking about the noble lady of the prefecture.

"Erchen... just to go to see Yongchang Bofu's funeral."

Seeing Emperor Jingming's expression tense, the fifth prince hurriedly explained: "I don't know if my father has heard of it. Uncle Yongchang and his wife died on the same day. The sons and ministers thought it was strange, so--"

"Enough!" Emperor Jingming couldn't bear to interrupt the fifth prince, "From today, you will be banned for three months in Prince Lu's Mansion, and you will be fined a year's salary!"

"Father, the son is wronged, the son can swear to the heavens that he will never send anyone to assassinate the seventh brother!"

Emperor Jingming endured the urge to kick the five princes flying, "Idiot, if you dare brothers to fight each other, do you think it's just this punishment?"

The other princes shook their heads secretly.

Thanks to the old five for being so stupid, let them be less scolded.

"Remember it for me, this is to punish you for not cultivating your virtues! Someone in someone else's family is violently killed. Not only are you not sympathetic but also look at the strangeness. Is this what a prince should do?"

"Erchen is wrong." The five princes fell dejected, feeling a kind of disaster coming from the sky.

"And you!" Emperor Jingming slowly swept his eyes across the faces of his sons, their faces sinking like water, "Be careful in words and deeds, gentle and thrifty, brothers and friends, respectful, don't forget these qualities!"

"My son will follow the instructions of his father."

All the princes could understand that all words and deeds, gentleness and frugality are all nonsense. Brothers, friends and brothers are the reason they were called to kneel today.

The emperor suspects that some of them have attacked Old Seven, so he should be more honest after beating them out of words.

It's a disaster!

This kind of thought emerged in the hearts of all the princes, but when they saw the five princes crying, they felt relieved.

There is still a comparison. Compared with them, the fifth is obviously the key suspect of the father.

"Go down, the prince stay!"

At this moment, the princes felt a little better.

Well, as long as the prince is unlucky, they are relieved.

Prince: "..." The fleeting years are not good, someday he is going to have a fragrance!
