Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1956: Wasting Words

The Emperor’s face was grim: "This... cough cough..."

Things have come to this point, and if he still defends the Prime Minister, the War Prince on the other side will undoubtedly not accept it. Moreover, with the people of the Capital, just thinking about The Petition of the People gives the Emperor a headache.

In the end, the whole thing was because the Prime Minister was too foolish. If he intended to assassinate, he should have done it discreetly. Why use his own men, leaving the mark of the Prime Minister’s Mansion? You see, isn’t it foolish? Just downright foolish.

The Emperor hesitated, and Long Rui spoke loudly again: "Your Majesty, these men in black carry the mark of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Since it has been proven that the Prime Minister is the mastermind behind the assassination, please give this humble servant an explanation."

Hearing the War Prince’s words, the Fourth Prince was startled; he also didn’t know what happened.

He just heard Long Rui say that the men in black had the Prime Minister’s Mansion’s mark and immediately became anxious. The Prime Minister was the support for him and his mother; they couldn’t let him fall. So, he hurriedly said to the Emperor: "Imperial Father, don’t believe what the War Prince says. What evidence? I think it’s all fabricated to frame my grandfather deliberately." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The Fourth Prince had always suspected that the War Prince was the one who blinded him, and naturally hated him deeply.

Long Rui sneered coldly, saying, "Whether I fabricated it or not, the Prime Minister knows clearly in his heart; it’s not for the Fourth Prince to noisily intervene here."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince turned his head to look at the Prime Minister not far away and asked, "Grandfather, the War Prince is framing you, isn’t he?"

The Fourth Prince prayed continuously in his heart, hoping his grandfather would not admit the men in black were his, even if it meant dying rather than admitting it. Admitting it would be the end.

The Prime Minister looked at the Fourth Prince without speaking; he also didn’t want to admit it, but the facts were undeniable, and even if he didn’t admit it, no one would believe otherwise.

Because the mark of the Prime Minister’s Mansion was unique and couldn’t be easily imitated, any arguments would be in vain.

The Prime Minister remained silent, which made the Fourth Prince anxious: "Grandfather, say something!"

Long Rui: "The Fourth Prince is wasting his breath. The Prime Minister, having done something unjust, knows he cannot escape the law and has nothing to say."

"Nonsense, my grandfather is not like that." After saying this, the Fourth Prince again said to the Prime Minister: "Grandfather, say something! You can’t let others frame you. The Empress Mother is waiting for you to have lunch at Fengyang Palace!"

The Fourth Prince deliberately mentioned the Empress to remind the Prime Minister that they couldn’t lose him, and the charge of assassination could not be admitted.

When Long Rui had those men in black’s shoes removed, the Prime Minister knew it was over. Hearing the Fourth Prince’s words, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply: "Xuanxuan, take good care of your mother in the future; your grandfather can no longer help you."

The Fourth Prince was shocked: "Grandfather, what are you planning to do?"

Enduring severe pain throughout his body, the Prime Minister stood up from his chair, fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed to the Emperor several times, saying: "Your Majesty, it was my momentary confusion that led to the harm of the War Prince. However, I have my reasons, and I beg the Emperor for leniency."

In front of the Civil and Military Officials, the Emperor, being gradually pressured by the War Prince, knew that the Emperor was a narrow-minded person. One day, he would settle this score, so he might as well admit it openly and avoid putting the Emperor in a dilemma.

The Emperor glanced at him, asking: "What reasons does the Prime Minister have to need to commit murder at the War Prince’s Mansion? And send so many of his men?"
