Chapter 35 The Favoritism of Emperor Xueye
The incident of the Fourth Prince Xue Beng causing a scene at the brothel became common knowledge, and soon the news reached the palace and the ears of Emperor Xue Ye.
Emperor Xueye was so angry that he even fainted.
The relatives attending court in the palace witnessed everything. It was nothing more than a son making his father faint from anger. They all said in private that the fourth prince was really useless, and this scandalous affair had become the talk of the entire Tiandou City.
Is there any hope for a prince whose reputation has deteriorated to this extent?
The answers given by everyone were obviously hopeless.
They're not blind; who would still side with the Fourth Prince now?
Even the few relatives who had been persuaded by the avalanche all avoided talking about it after the avalanche happened.
The Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the Emperor's bedroom on a snowy night.
Emperor Xueye fainted midway through the court session, so the court meeting naturally had to stop. After dismissing his relatives, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe went to take care of Emperor Xueye.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has always been seen as a filial and kind prince. Even his relatives, who had previously harbored some suspicions about him, now seem much better in comparison to the avalanche.
After such an incident, it's almost impossible for Avalanche to recover. Therefore, they are all thinking about when to make connections with the Crown Prince so that they won't be forced to take sides and can also gain a good impression from him.
"Father, come, it's time to drink your medicine."
Emperor Xueye slowly woke up, and Mo Xuewei brought medicine to feed him.
This medicine was personally brewed by the Porcupine Douluo, and it's incredibly effective.
Emperor Xueye was helped up by Mo Xuewei. He was so angry about the avalanche that his face was also much paler.
Mo Xuewei gently fed him the medicine without saying anything.
After taking the medicine, Emperor Xueye finally spoke about the avalanche: "Qinghe, what do you think about Fourth Brother's situation?"
This is a test.
Mo Xuewei smiled as she tidied up the medicine bowl. She pulled up a chair and sat down. "Fourth Brother's behavior is indeed a bit absurd, but he wasn't like this before. I suppose he's been bewitched by someone."
"Bewitchment?" Emperor Xue Ye frowned, looking at Xue Qinghe. "Who are you referring to?"
He knew his own son well; even if he were a spoiled brat, he would never do such a thing. There must be some reason behind it!
However, he has been unwell lately and has no time to take care of his two sons, so he doesn't know who is around Avalanche.
Mo Xuewei, of course, wouldn't say directly who it was. She shook her head, letting Emperor Xueye guess for himself: "Your subject doesn't know. Recently, your subject has been busy with matters in other cities and hasn't paid attention to your fourth brother. This is just your subject's guess. As for whether such a person exists, your subject cannot be sure."
Having distanced himself from the whole affair, Emperor Xueye didn't press for details after hearing this. He simply said, "Qinghe, I know you're busy as the Crown Prince, but the Fourth Prince is your own brother. You still need to keep a close eye on him and prevent him from being led by the nose by any demons or monsters. This is clearly an attack on the Heavenly Dou royal family. You handle this matter properly. As for the Fourth Prince, exile him to the border for half a year to reflect on his actions. Once things have calmed down, I will recall him under the pretext of paying respects to his mother."
This favoritism shouldn't be too obvious.
But Mo Xuewei didn't care. She stood up and bowed, saying, "Yes, Father."
Then he turned and left.
Being exiled to the border for only six months is a rather lenient punishment.
Mo Xuewei sneered and immediately went to the palace prison to visit her nominal "younger brother".
Qian Renxue had been waiting for her in front of the palace prison for a long time.
Qian Renxue didn't have to come, but she came anyway because she was worried that something might go wrong with Mo Xuewei.
The moment they met, the smiles in their eyes were impossible to hide. "Let's go, Your Highness."
As Mo Xuewei passed by Qian Renxue, she said softly.
Qian Renxue looked up at her, a slight smile playing on her lips, a hint of "secret pleasure" stirring within her.
However, she quickly suppressed her emotions, after all, there were outsiders present, and they couldn't afford to give themselves away.
Entering the palace prison,
This place is generally used to imprison important criminals, such as nobles who have committed crimes.
Hearing someone enter, Avalanche thought it was Emperor Snow Night and hurriedly got up, not forgetting to tidy his appearance.
He knew that his father, the emperor, would never abandon him!
Once he gets out, he'll definitely kill that patrol team leader!
Thinking this, he was surprised to see "Xue Qinghe" appear before him.
The smile on her face suddenly froze. Xue Beng was still expecting that Emperor Xue Ye would come out from behind Xue Qinghe, but in fact, there was no one there except Xue Qinghe and the maid beside him.
"Where is Father?"
I can't believe it, it's an avalanche.
I can't believe that Emperor Xueye didn't come, but Xue Qinghe came first!
Seeing that Xue Beng's expression wasn't good, Mo Xuewei felt relieved. She smiled slightly and said, "Father is resting. He ordered me to come and resolve this matter for you. Tell me, Fourth Brother, who exactly bewitched you and led you to that kind of place?"
Bewitchment?
The avalanche was taken aback.
What kind of talk is that?
He rebuked her angrily, "Xue Qinghe, don't pretend to care about these things. What bewitching? This is nothing but your scheme. You're the one who turned me into this!"
"Me?" Mo Xuewei chuckled. "You really have a thick skin."
"When did I turn you into this? What proof do you have that I turned you into this? Did I send you to a brothel? Did I let you go crazy like a madman in the brothel? Fourth brother, have you thought about the consequences of your slander?"
"What bullshit consequences!" What Xue Beng hated most was seeing Xue Qinghe's gentle face, which was the same face that had deceived everyone!
"It's you!" Xue Beng pointed at "Xue Qinghe" and said, "You're the one who ruined me! I want to see my father! Only my father will stand up for me!"
He started yelling again, just like someone being taken away by patrolmen in a brothel.
Mo Xuewei watched him go mad in silence. The more he said, the better. The guards outside could hear everything clearly. If this reached Emperor Xueye's ears, Xue Beng would not be able to return in half a year.
"Fourth brother, watch your words," Mo Xuewei kindly reminded him.
Xue Beng ignored her pleas and, in a fit of desperation, declared, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Xue Qinghe, one day I'll tear off that hypocritical mask from your face! Don't think I don't know you poisoned the other princes! You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
"..."
"This old minister believes that His Highness has perhaps lost his mind!"
