The abandoned concubine was actually Wang Zhuang: the paranoid prince was dumbfounded and chased aft

Chapter 541 The Truth Comes Out
"Ninth Brother said you were the one who captured him and hid him."

Not to be outdone, Concubine Shu continued: "No one will admit the bad things they have done. Aren't you just doing this to make us anxious and take revenge on us?"

Murong Xiao's face was expressionless and he did not waste any words with her, "Ninth brother, you are a good boy. Father likes honest children."

"Tell us the truth. If you tell the truth, Seventh Brother guarantees that Father will not punish you."

Murong An and Shu Fei's expressions changed slightly, "Don't try to use your ninth brother to fool your father."

"Why are you nervous? I am just asking my ninth brother to tell the truth."

"After all, if you deceive the emperor, let alone the ninth brother, even Concubine Shu and the second brother may not be able to bear the consequences."

Emperor Beiwu said with a cold face, "Well, you'd better tell me the truth. Anyone who dares to lie will be punished for deceiving the emperor."

Although the Ninth Prince was still young, he also knew what the crime of deceiving the emperor was. He was so frightened that he immediately kneeled and crawled in front of the emperor, "Father, don't be angry. I didn't mean to lie. I told the truth. Please Father, don’t chop off our heads.”

"Qier..."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale, she could not control her trembling and shouted.

Murong An closed his eyes, feeling like he was going to die, and was about to explain something.

Emperor Beiwu stared at them coldly, lifted up the Ninth Prince, held him in his arms, and coaxed his son in a deep voice: "Qi'er, be good, tell the truth to Father, and Father will not chop off your head."

"Woooo..."

After all, the Ninth Prince is still a child. Although he has enjoyed good food and drink outside recently and has not suffered any hardships, this is the first time he has been away from his parents.

I was already a little tired, but when I came back I was scolded by my father and made to kneel down.

Now I can't bear the pressure and am crying out of breath. "My son didn't sneak out of the palace. It was my mother who said I could leave the palace to play..."

"I was having fun at the amusement park, and my second brother sent someone to take me back to the palace. However, my second brother didn't send me back to the palace. He said he would take me to the new mansion to play."

Every prince will move out of the palace and be crowned a prince when he reaches adulthood.

The Ninth Prince was not yet an adult, but because Concubine Shu was favored, she wanted to choose a good residence for her son, so she had chosen a residence early, but she had not moved out of the palace yet. "I was playing in the new mansion, and then I was kidnapped for some unknown reason. I don't know where that place is."

Emperor Beiwu's expression turned terrifyingly cold, "Then why did you say that Brother Seven captured you?"

"It's not the seventh brother...it's my mother and the second brother who asked me to say this. They asked me...to tell my father that it was the seventh brother who captured me." The ninth prince had already burst into tears. "The mother-in-law said that if If I don’t say that, my father will punish me.”

"Uuuu...Father, I was wrong."

Emperor Beiwu suppressed his anger and said, "Send the Ninth Prince back to the house."

Eunuch Li came over and took the person away quickly.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu looked at the man's body shaking uncontrollably in fear.

Murong An also turned pale, "Father, things are not what you think."

"You still don't know what's wrong, right?" Emperor Beiwu was so angry that his nose was filled with smoke.

……

It was already night when Feng Mingwei woke up.

"Princess, the amusement park can be opened. It is said that the emperor punished Concubine Shu and Prince An, and both of them were beaten thirty times."

Feng Mingwei took a sip of water and couldn't help but sneer: "Has the truth about the disappearance of the Ninth Prince been revealed?"

Zi Jiu smiled and said: "Yes, the prince has entered the palace and has not come back yet."

After saying this, Murong Xiao came back from the palace.

Seeing someone coming in, Zi Jiu quickly bowed and left.

Murong Xiao glanced at him and felt unhappy, "Why do you always see Zi Jiu alone?"
