Chapter 969: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (ninety-one)
Song Qingting has been dealt with, and the case of the Fourth Prince's injury naturally has a result.
In the end, the people who were openly dealt with were the servants at the horse farm and the scapegoat found by the crown prince and the third prince, a bastard from a noble family who had had a dispute with the fourth prince. It was said that he was holding a grudge and happened to discover that Song Qingting had drugged the horse. He found a way to get the drug and fed it to the fourth prince's horse.
The Fourth Prince was of course aware of the trick, but he could not continue to make a fuss because the Crown Prince and other princes had been temporarily stripped of their court duties by the Emperor and were idle at home. The promised title of king was nowhere to be found.
Only the fourth prince was canonized as Prince Shun, and the emperor hoped that he would have a smooth life.
The Fourth Prince also knew the other hidden meaning. The Emperor also wanted him to remember to be respectful and do his duty.
No matter how unhappy Prince Shun felt inside, he had to appear to be a man without ambition, decadent and incompetent so that his brothers could feel at ease.
Of course, the Crown Prince and other princes didn't care whether the Fourth Prince was doing something dark and shady behind the scenes. What was there for a loser and an outlier to care about?
Time flies. In three months, the incident of Prince Shun was over. The emperor also began to change his attitude towards his other sons and allowed them to attend court one after another.
The prince was the first to return to the court. He was in high spirits after attending the court session, but he didn't know that danger was approaching.
It was a sunny day. After receiving the letter, the prince thought about it for a while and went to the temple outside the city to keep the appointment.
The back mountain has high rocks and dense forests, making it the most secluded place.
A woman was sitting in the pavilion. "Brother Crown Prince, you're here! Yaoyao and our children have been waiting for you for a long time."
When the woman in red heard the footsteps, she quickly turned around and pounced on the prince.
"Be careful, my little ancestor. You're going to be a mother, and you don't take care of your health."
"I miss you!"
The woman's pregnancy was not yet apparent, and her voice was charming, and her red lips pouted, and the man laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault."
The prince put his arms around the woman's waist, supported her back with his left hand, and placed his right hand on her belly, and slowly led her towards the pavilion.
"Did the child bother you?"
"No, the child is very good."
"My son is sensible and feels sorry for you, his mother."
The two of them were so affectionate in the pavilion that people who didn't know them would think they were a newlywed couple out for a walk.
The two of them stayed together for quarter of an hour and then left the mountain one after another.
The prince was in a very good mood after seeing his beautiful bride and knowing that he was about to have a new child. After returning to the East Palace, he was even interested in visiting the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince was already ten years old, but he had been ill for many years and was thin. He looked only seven or eight years old. He was very excited to see his father, and he started coughing as soon as he bowed and greeted him.
The prince took a step back and watched the servants pat his son's back and serve him tea.
The Crown Prince finally recovered, and the Prince didn't want to say much. His son had fallen behind in his studies over the years, and his other nephews had already surpassed him.
The Crown Prince only took advantage of his status, but in reality he had nothing to offer. Even the three teachers only taught him half an hour's lessons every other day. Once the intensity was increased, the Crown Prince could not bear it.
Seeing his son like this, what else could the prince say?
He simply told his son to take care of himself, then turned and left. After all, he had too few sons. How could he have just one? Alas, for so many years, he had had a hard time having children. He hoped that Yao Niang was carrying a son.
"Farewell, Father."
The Crown Prince hung his head in disappointment. He had made his father angry again.
The Crown Prince was a sensitive person and had no appetite. He developed a fever that night and after the fever subsided, he stayed in bed for another half a month.
The prince didn't visit him in the past half month, but only sent him a lot of supplements.
The Crown Prince couldn't help crying in his mother's arms, scolding himself for being useless, unable to please his father, and causing his mother to worry and suffer.
"If I weren't here, how wonderful it would be, Mother. I don't want to live anymore. The medicine is too bitter, and living is too tiring. Father is disappointed in me. I am a disgrace to him and a burden to you, Mother."
The Crown Prince fell into a deep state of self-abandonment.
