Chapter 571 Oh, He's So Difficult

The emperor turned pale with shock: "The eldest prince...how did he know?"

The queen mother said: "He met someone who helped the emperor find a little girl, and he knew what the little girl the emperor was looking for looked like."

"He told the Ai family about this. The emperor often used excuses to go to the bamboo forest to recuperate. How could the Ai family not think of it?"

The emperor was furious: "Nonsense! He has been digging for gold in Luokang Mountain, how could he meet those people?"

The empress dowager's voice was extremely cold: "He is not as rigid as the emperor imagined, and sometimes he will sneak back to the capital."

The emperor became even more furious: "Just because he left his post without permission, I will punish him with death!"

The empress dowager snorted: "Unfortunately, the Ai family and the eldest prince are not the only ones who know about this!"

The emperor knew that he was afraid: "The queen mother is threatening me, let the eldest prince go, and then agrees to your plan to eradicate Gu Zheng?"

The Empress Dowager nodded: "You can say that!"

"Your majesty, don't think that the things you have done can be completely erased. The emperor can't wipe out those little girls buried in the bamboo forest at once, and the emperor can't recruit those who are still looking for targets for the emperor outside at once! "

"Those people and the little girl they found are now in the hands of the First Prince."

"Does the emperor want everyone to die together?"

The emperor's face was ugly, and he sat without saying a word.

The eldest prince is too scary!

Is this his son?

He remembered that his mother and concubine were the kindest of all his women, so why did she give birth to a son who had tried his best and had a vicious mind.

Perhaps, according to his plans, he might be able to eradicate Gu Zheng.

However, can he promise to get the antidote from Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi to completely remove the toxins in his body?
After being silent with the emperor for a while, the empress dowager spoke again.

"The eldest prince said that according to his arrangement, he is sure to get the antidote from Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi!"

"Although Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi are powerful, they still have younger brothers and sisters, especially Gu Ming, who must obey the military orders."

"As long as we catch one of them, we won't be afraid that Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi won't submit!"

"Don't hesitate, Your Majesty! Let the eldest prince go quickly, and get rid of Gu Zheng and the others as soon as possible, that's the best strategy once and for all."

The emperor still couldn't make up his mind.

"The eldest prince dares to embezzle even the gold that enters the national treasury. I don't believe he doesn't have the idea of ​​killing the king!"

"With the Eldest Prince's intelligence, at this juncture, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing as embezzling gold. In this matter, someone probably framed him."

"Who has such great ability? Can bribe so many people, just to frame him?"

The empress dowager replied after pondering: "Has the emperor forgotten that there is a Duke's Mansion behind His Royal Highness?"

The power of the Duke's Mansion should not be underestimated, otherwise they would not have made their girl the queen and their grandson the prince.

The emperor was silent.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince conspired with the Chu family, most likely the eldest prince falsely accused him.

The theft of gold may have been done with the help of the Crown Prince, or it may have been done by the First Prince himself.

If the crown prince is questioned, the Duke's Mansion will not agree.

If the eldest prince is questioned, his bad deeds will be exposed.

But if both of them are not punished for their crimes, I am afraid that civil and military officials will not agree.

Thirty chests of gold is not a small amount, and the treasury is empty.

Alas, he is so difficult.

The empress dowager enlightened him: "Your majesty can use one word to let the crown prince and the first prince be punished first, and just say that the investigation will continue."
