Chapter 1238

The news of the fifth Prince's kneeling soon spread to Princess an, who immediately came to the imperial study in a chariot.

Looking at his son's upright kneeling in the cold wind, he was distressed and knelt down to the imperial study, "emperor, I hope you can see that chen'er has no fault in the past. Don't punish him."

The emperor was already in a rage. When he heard Princess an's words, he was even more angry. "He has today, because of your connivance. Since you are distressed, you should kneel with her. No one is allowed to get up without my permission."

Princess an couldn't bear it, but after a while she was a little bit out of shape.

The fifth Prince looked in his eyes and was very distressed. He raised his voice to plead for his mother and imperial concubine, "father, thousands of mistakes are all children's mistakes. I beg father to forgive mother and imperial concubine."

There was no movement in the imperial study.

The emperor sat in his chair, but his anger did not go down.

He really didn't know whether he was blind in the past few years. How could he feel that the fifth prince was the smartest of these sons?

Spoil him everywhere, so as to develop his present pig brain, do things without considering the consequences.

The princess relies on Prince Zhan's mansion and the whole fan kingdom. If she offends her, it's like she's against Prince Zhan's mansion and the whole fan kingdom. Even she doesn't dare to move her easily. Did you not consider this before you were a prince?

Duke Zhang leaned over his side and looked at his words. "Emperor, when I went out of the palace, I met an Shangshu. He also went to reprimand the fifth prince, saying that it was a rumor. According to the old slave, there must be some misunderstanding."

The emperor looked at him coldly, "what do you mean, I wronged him?"

Zhang Gong's waist bent lower, "the old slave's meaning is that if the rumor is true, the princess will come to the palace to complain. Since she didn't come, it shows that this matter is not true."

The emperor snorted, "you old man, are you taking bribes again?"

Father Zhang was so scared that he knelt down and said, "I dare not."

Outside came the startled voice of the maid of honor, "what's the matter with you, Niang Niang?"

The emperor kicked father-in-law Zhang, "get out and see what's going on?"

Mr. Zhang got up, went to the door, peeped out his head for a look, then quickly turned back, "emperor, Princess an has passed out."

"Take someone back and tell her to go down. Princess an is unwell. No one is allowed to disturb her. Without my orders, she is not allowed to go out of the palace and walk around at will until she takes good care of herself."

This is house arrest in disguise.

Duke Zhang did not dare to say a word more, but retreated. He announced the emperor's will and directed the little eunuch to carry the man back.

Outside the imperial study, there was only the fifth Prince kneeling in the cold wind.

……

After the fifth Prince followed Mr. Zhang, an Shangshu went to the east palace to see the prince.

When I got out of the carriage and looked at the towering East Palace, I had a bad feeling. After years of planning, the second prince got a bargain in the end.

Sent an entourage to pass a post in the past.

The gatekeeper took the post and reported it.

The prince heard the news about the fifth Prince early in the morning, and now he heard that an Shangshu came to the door. He thought it was for the sake of the fifth prince.

He said, "please go to the reception hall. I'll deal with things in my study and ask him to wait for a while."

The eunuch in charge came out in person with a very respectful attitude. He welcomed people in and told him the prince's original words.

The prince is the prince. Naturally, he is busy with important things. An Shangshu does not dare to be urged, so he has to wait patiently.

It took half an hour for the prince to come in a hurry.

As soon as I entered the door of the meeting hall, the prince apologized, "I have been waiting for Lao an Shangshu for a long time. It's really that my father has given me too many things. I'm poor in ability and slow in doing it. I hope that Lao an Shangshu will forgive me."

An Shangshu said hastily, "Your Royal Highness is very serious. State affairs are important. An has nothing to do with waiting for a while."

The prince went to the upper position and sat down, "what can an Shangshu do for me?"

"An would like to trouble his royal highness to help the fifth Prince say a love in front of the emperor."

The prince's face didn't know, "what happened to my five emperor younger brother?"

An Shangshu scolded "pretending" in his heart and sighed on his face: "I don't know who spread the rumor that the fifth prince married a girl from the white family for her property. The emperor Longyan was very angry and declared him to go to the palace to reprimand him. I'm afraid that the fifth Prince would be reprimanded if he contradicted the emperor because he was young, so I came to ask the prince to help intercede."

"Well, it's easy to say."

The prince agreed very happily, "Anshang book and relax back, I will go into the palace to help five younger brother plead."

An Shangshu saluted, "thank you, Prince."

The prince quickly got up and came forward to help him, "an Shangshu doesn't have to be like this. If I had known that the fifth emperor's younger brother had been called to the palace, I would have gone to help him plead for mercy if you didn't have to come."

An Shangshu thanks again and goes out of the east palace with the prince. He went back to the Ministry of officials in a carriage, and the prince went to the palace.

October day, the cold wind blowing, the fifth prince can't stand the cold, when the prince arrived, the fifth Prince's body has been crumbling, he quickly walked over, his cloak off, put on the fifth prince, "fifth emperor brother wait a moment, I'll go to the father to help you."

If in the past, the fifth Prince certainly did not receive his affection, what about the prince? Without the support of Zhan Wang's residence, he would be a lonely man, with his grandfather and uncle behind him.

But today, he is really cold, also painful, feel his knee, deep pain, hard words did not say, just shivering voice, "thank you, Prince."

The prince tied the belt of his cloak tightly, turned and went into the imperial study. He knelt down and said, "father, please forgive me."

The emperor did not expect that the prince would come to help the fifth Prince plead for mercy. He put down his pen and leaned back on the back of his chair. "He made a big mistake. He just asked him to kneel down. It's already a light punishment."

"Father Huang, the younger brother of the fifth emperor is still young, so it's hard to avoid imperfections in his work. My son's minister will teach him slowly in the future. Please forgive him for his son's sake."

"You teach?"

"Yes."

"You are so kind."

The prince seemed puzzled and looked up at him.

The emperor did not explain, "since you help him plead, I will spare him this time. You tell him for me that if you dare to have another time, I will immediately assign him to the fiefdom and never return to Beijing. "

"Thank you, my father. I'll tell you what you said."

The emperor waved his hand.

The prince got up and was about to retreat. An Shangshu came in with a memorial in a hurry. "The emperor, the great prince is dead."
