After the emperor interrogated the seventh prince Bu Sachen on the first day, the emperor also interrogated the second prince Bu Ruoxuan on the next day.

Although it was normal for the two parties to be interrogated for the drug theft and the real murder of Bu Sachen, Bu Fengli still felt vaguely uneasy.

It was not possible to send someone to find out the information, because since the three of them were imprisoned, the emperor had completely replaced all the prison guards, including the chief of the prison, and replaced them with his own people.

The three of them are completely cut off from the outside world.

Especially him.

The other two were at least brought up for interrogation, and he has not left the cell door since he was imprisoned.

...

Longyin Palace

Bu Ruoxuan crawled on the ground.

The emperor walked up to him with his hands behind his hands and looked at him condescendingly: "I have misjudged you all these years. You have disappointed me so much. You even spared your own brother for the sake of a woman.

"

Bu Ruoxuan's face turned pale and he didn't dare to raise his head: "Father...Have you found out that it was your subordinates who killed your seventh brother?"

"Otherwise? Otherwise, why do you think you are kneeling in Longyin Palace now?"

Bu Ruoxuan's heart trembled and his body trembled.

He didn't expect to find out so quickly. Those bastards used to hide it from him, but now they are able to find it quickly!

"But...but Erchen really didn't know about this. They didn't tell him that they beat the man to death when they came back."

"Are you still reasonable?" The emperor was furious: "If you were not dead at that time, even if you were beaten half to death, or you could still breathe, you would have done nothing wrong?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that. Please calm down, father!" Bu Ruoxuan was so frightened that he denied it repeatedly.

"Then what do you mean?" the emperor asked coldly.

"My son..."

Until now, he didn't know what to say, and it seemed that everything he said was wrong.

"Tell me about you, one or two of you. You will do anything for Gong Qianmu. Not only did you dare to come to Longyin Palace to steal my elixir, but you also fought against each other and made trouble.

Human lives.”

The emperor was trembling with anger, looking like he was filled with righteous indignation and hated the iron.

"What's the result? What benefits did you end up with? Lao Qi died in death, and no one even knew about it. What about you, did you win the beauty back? Did you win the beauty's heart? Nothing, and you were sent to the sky prison.

, my family is doing well. You said... why are you so incompetent?"

The emperor seemed very angry. He flicked his sleeves, sat down beside the dragon table, and raised his hands to rub his head, as if he was so angry that he had a headache.

"I know I'm wrong. It's all my fault. I just wanted to steal the medicine, but I didn't expect it to lead to such a disaster. I'm sorry for my seventh brother and my father. I want to beat or scold you."

Punishment is necessary, I have no complaints, I just ask my father not to be angry, and take care of your dragon body. If you are angry, your sin will be even more serious."

Suddenly remembering that he still had a blank imperial edict, Bu Ruoxuan's panic was almost gone, he could speak fluently, and he felt confident.

Last year, Gong Qianmu and Gong Qianmu were together in the hunt and won first place, and each person received a blank imperial edict.

I heard that Gong Qianmu's one has been used, but his has not yet been used.

Probably because he saw that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes and was sincerely repentant, the emperor's expression softened a little and his arrogance seemed to have dropped a lot.

Sighing softly: "Is it Gong Qianmu who tricked you into stealing?"

Bu Ruoxuan didn't know the emperor's true thoughts, so he said truthfully: "No, I heard that the seventh brother was going to steal, so I wanted to intercept him halfway..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted sharply by the emperor: "Even now, you still want to hide it for her!"

Bu Ruoxuan still didn't understand what the emperor meant, and quickly explained: "No, I didn't hide it for her. It really has nothing to do with her, it's..."

"Are you crazy? Are you crazy or stupid?" The emperor interrupted him sharply again, "Did she fill you with ecstasy soup? Do you think that I don't know about this? You are my son, how are you?

Do you think I don't know? You are just too kind! You are too kind! Do you know why I have never established a beneficiary?"

Bu Ruoxuan was startled, but he didn't expect him to suddenly talk about this.

He raised his eyes and looked at him.

The emperor's face turned ugly: "Although I am still in my prime, there is no rush to establish a crown prince, but some bloody examples in the past dynasties tell us that it is better to establish a crown prince sooner rather than later. Otherwise, someone will definitely turn against this brother and fight for his head.

If blood breaks and flows, you will die and I will die. If we establish early and make peace, then if the royal family is stable, then the court will be stable, and if the court is stable, the world will be stable. But why have I never established it?"

Bu Ruoxuan's eyelashes trembled slightly and he said nothing.

Wait for him to continue.

"You think I don't want to be crowned? It's because I don't have a suitable candidate! Among the many princes, relatively speaking, the one I am most optimistic about is you. Moreover, if the eldest son dies young, you are actually the eldest son of the prince, regardless of whether he is appointed crown prince or eldest son.

, you still have the advantage whether you appoint a prince or a virtuous person."

When Bu Ruoxuan heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He never expected that he would be the most favored in his father's heart. He always thought it was Bu Fengli.

It's really unexpected.

"But," the emperor changed the topic, "you are just too kind. As an emperor, you need to be compassionate, but many times, what is more needed is ruthlessness. The most ruthless emperor has no choice. This is

Make choices, if you want to be an emperor, if you want to be a good emperor, you must know how to make choices, know how to sacrifice, and know how to put the overall situation first!"

Bu Ruoxuan pursed his lips and remained silent, reflecting on his words.

The emperor's eyes darkened and he looked at him: "I ask you one last time, did Gong Qianmu instigate you to steal?"

Bu Ruoxuan's eyelashes trembled violently, and his heart beat rapidly.

"Yes, it was she who instigated Erchen. Moreover, he also told Erchen that she also asked his seventh brother to steal. It was from her that he learned that his seventh brother also went to steal, so Erchen thought that he would wait until his seventh brother had finished stealing.

Later, he intercepted his efforts halfway and reaped the benefits."

Bu Ruoxuan heard himself say this.

The corner of the emperor's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly, and then returned to normal.

At the end, he seemed to sigh with relief: "I knew you were not someone who would do such a treasonous thing. You must have been deceived by someone."

Then he looked at him with a very embarrassed look: "But the world only looks at the results, not the causes. Now the whole country knows that you killed your own brother, what do you want me to do?"

"I can't acquit you. I am the emperor and I am facing the people of Yan. I have to act upright. If I bend the law for personal gain, how can I convince the people and govern the country and bring peace to the world?"

Suddenly he thought of something: "By the way, don't you have a blank imperial edict? In this case, you can go back to Tianlao first, and there is no rush. Let's see if there will be any improvement during this period. If there is no improvement, you can

Save yourself with a blank imperial edict, so that I can explain it to the world and no one will gossip."
