Capítulo 893: Chapter 893: Prince Jing Wounds the Crown Prince While Drunk
Administering medicine to the Princess Consort, muddling her mind leading to Jiujiu being swapped, and directly giving the Princess Consort sterilization medicine.
If it weren’t for Jiujiu being kidnapped to Nanchang at that time, if it weren’t for all these coincidences, perhaps he would never know in his lifetime that his son was actually not his biological child, while his biological daughter was suffering unknown hardships outside.
As for the Princess Consort, she is even more pitiful, treating her enemy’s daughter as her own, disregarding all opposition to match her with Qin Zhou, personally delivering all this glory to her enemy; what kind of tragedy is that?
However, contending for power with the Crown Prince is not so easy.
Not to mention the Wang Family behind the Crown Prince, for years, to ease the Crown Prince’s worries, his own reputation was utterly ruined, and it is not a matter that can be resolved quickly.
Prince Jing shook his head, contemplating a hundred times in his heart, yet ultimately struggling to make a decision.
Returning to the palace banquet, Prince Jing drank cup after cup, anyone could see his unusual behavior.
And the fully recovered Princess Consort Jing was also beside him, advising, “Your Highness, please drink less…”
Prince Jing waved away her hand attempting to stop him, with a hint of drunken demeanor, saying, “Leave it be.”
Princess Consort Jing helplessly sat upright beside him, truly no longer intervening.
Ye Jiu was already summoned by the Empress to her side, watching this farce below, intuitively sensing this wasn’t typical behavior for Prince Jing, so what was he aiming to do with this spectacle?
Anyway, the Crown Prince had already fallen out with Prince Jing; taking this opportunity, of course he couldn’t let it pass, “Old Fourth, today is New Year’s Eve’s palace banquet, Father and Mother are both here, usually your antics might be overlooked, but in this setting, isn’t it inappropriate to throw a tantrum?”
Just as the Crown Prince finished speaking, under countless watchful eyes, Prince Jing suddenly flung his wine cup at him, “Even if I’m inappropriate, isn’t it more fitting than the dignified Crown Prince interfering in others’ affairs, administering sterilization medicine to his own sister-in-law!”
“Ah…” The Crown Prince cried out miserably, tightly clutching his forehead, yet from the gaps in his fingers, blood could be seen.
However, what’s most shocking wasn’t Prince Jing’s physical assault on the Crown Prince, but the words from Prince Jing’s mouth.
The Crown Prince intervening in others’ affairs, administering sterilization medicine to his own sister-in-law?
Heavens, this palace banquet is truly spectacular, yet it makes the ministers want to return home even more.
Blame Prince Jing, whatever discord these brothers have, they could resolve privately, yet have to expose it publicly; and not knowing, having heard this Imperial Family secret, whether they will be silenced by the old Emperor today.
Clearly, the old Emperor didn’t expect Prince Jing would pull off such a stunt.
Immediately he barked, “Prince Jing!”
Prince Jing was utterly fearless, directly stepping into the center of the grand hall, kneeling straight to the ground, “Taking today’s opportunity, I wish to ask the Crown Prince, over these years, what have I, as a brother, done wrong to offend the Crown Prince, causing you to resent so deeply, that you resorted to such sinister household tactics against me and the Princess Consort?”
Though Prince Jing spoke to the Crown Prince, his gaze was fixed directly on the old Emperor, the determination within was exceedingly evident.
As for the Crown Prince, blood was already profusely streaming down his forehead. After Prince Jing finished speaking, his eyes momentarily avoided eye contact, but after all, being an old fox, he regained his normal expression in merely seconds.
