Translator: 549690339

Li Hongyuan was slightly startled.

The Emperor also noticed Jiang Ning’s appearance.

Jiang Ning’s face was after all his ‘white moonlight,’ and it was easy for him to imagine Lin Zizi in her place when he saw her like this.

Thinking that if Lin Zizi had been subjected to such torment, he could somewhat understand Li Hongyuan’s actions.

“Bring forth the people, send the Princess Consort of Yu to the Jiang Family first.” The Emperor spoke, “Then arrest Prince of Yu and send him to the Court of Judicial Review for interrogation.”

Regardless of what the Crown Prince had done, he was the heir, the ruler.

Prince of Yu’s actions in the East Palace were disrespectful and rebellious.

He couldn’t let it go unpunished.

Prince of Yu watched as Jiang Ning was carried away, and he too was taken to the prison of the Court of Judicial Review by the Imperial Army.

Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi followed them back as well.

The Emperor watched their retreating figures, especially that of the Prince of Yu, and sighed.

The little eunuch nervously asked, “Your Majesty, what should we do with the Crown Prince over there?”

The Emperor suddenly remembered that there was still one lying in the snow!

He quickly turned around and roared in anger, “You bunch of useless servants, just watching the Crown Prince lying on the ground? Don’t just stand there, carry him back and call the Imperial Physician to treat him!”

The Crown Prince was badly injured.

Several imperial physicians gathered around to examine him, all of them frowning.

Although his hand injury was serious, the biggest issue was his kneecaps.

The short knife of the Prince of Yu was extremely sharp, and it had not only severed the bones of the kneecap but had also twisted and crushed them completely. Shattered like tofu dregs.

How cruel.

None of the imperial physicians dared to touch it.

The Empress and Concubine Xian had also rushed over.

Concubine Xian cried her heart out.

“My child, how did you end up like this? Who is the traitor that caused all of this…”

“Concubine Xian, be sad, but be mindful of your words.” The Empress was displeased, “What nonsense are you talking about in front of His Majesty?”

Concubine Xian tearfully knelt before the Emperor, “Your Majesty, you must seek justice for the Crown Prince. He was fine before, but now he’s in such a state, this matter cannot be just left unresolved…”

“And what do you want to happen?” The Emperor’s face was gloomy. “Look at the good son you raised! As Crown Prince, he has become more and more outrageous! Daring to covet his own brother’s wife, has he no shame? If this gets out, how will the officials and commoners view the royal family?”

Concubine Xian wiped her tears, “This matter must be a misunderstanding… There are many beautiful concubines in the East Palace, why would the Crown Prince target a cripple? Your Majesty, please investigate and clear the Crown Prince’s innocence and bring justice to this matter.”

“You are saying that I am wronging the Crown Prince with what I saw with my own eyes?”

“No, what I mean is… there must be some misunderstanding with this matter.”

The Empress said, “Concubine Xian, you don’t have to cry, this matter has not been concluded yet, and the Prince of Yu has been locked up in the Court of Judicial Review for interrogation. It’s not certain what will happen. For now, let’s focus on the Crown Prince’s injury.”

Concubine Xian finally got up to look at the Crown Prince.

“Imperial Physician, how is the Crown Prince’s injury?” She asked anxiously.

The Imperial Physician quickly replied, “Concubine Xian, please be patient, we are in the process of diagnosing the injury.”

“You’re too slow! A bunch of useless people!” Concubine Xian was so anxious that she scolded them.

A rather straightforward imperial physician couldn’t help but say, “The Crown Prince’s kneecap bones are shattered, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do.”

“What do you mean there’s nothing to do?” Concubine Xian got even more anxious at his words.

The Emperor heard this and approached, asking with a frown, “Is there really no way to heal it?”

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince’s kneecap bones have been completely crushed, even if a god were to come, I’m afraid it would be impossible to revive him..”
