Chapter 57: Diary
Translator: 549690339
The eyes of the princes lit up as if they had heard the most beautiful voice in the world. Their hearts were filled with excitement, but they did not show it on their faces. Their emotions did not change at all. They secretly prayed that they would do their best to bring down the Crown Prince!
Princess Chang Xi’s face was full of arrogance, and she was fearless. Now, there was nothing that scared her, so she said whatever she wanted to say,””Do you know why I schemed against you?”
The Crown Prince remained calm and did not lose his composure because of her words. Not only was he not angry, but he even smiled as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. He pointed at his neck and said, “This is the Adam’s apple, the best proof.”
“You’ve deceived His Majesty as a woman for many years. Without any tricks, you’ve long been exposed. What can a mere Adam’s apple prove?” Before he could speak, he said again.
“Even you can sit in this position for three years. Bengong is the Eldest Princess, His Majesty’s Third Sister, why can’t I? As long as he could pull you down from your horse and set them up to kill each other and mess up the situation, wouldn’t an opportunity appear? “During this period of time, if His Majesty wants to appoint a Crown Prince, he will eliminate whoever he chooses. When he has enough power and has enough ministers and external forces under his control, he will seek the help of the old ancestors in the palace. At that time, Grand Xia will be mine.”
Wei Shang rushed in front of her and used his two big pockets to roughly slap her to the ground. He shouted coldly, “Impudent!”
Princess Chang Xi’s hair was disheveled and she looked like she had gone mad. Her body was covered in blood, but she was not afraid at all. “I’m not the one in the wrong! It was Xia Shimin! If he doesn’t set a precedent, how could bengong have ambitions?”
The hall was absolutely silent. Even a pin drop could be heard.
The Xia Emperor’s emotionless voice rang out once more. “Where is it?”
“In my study, there is a painting of a hundred birds hanging on the wall. There is a secret room behind it, and the thing is inside.”
“Go get it!”
Wei Shang sent someone to get it.
The atmosphere instantly became strange and solemn. There seemed to be a strong killing intent that enveloped everyone.
Everyone had their own ulterior motives. Everyone was calculating how to maximize the benefits if the Crown Prince fell.
As time passed.
Very quickly.
A Human Emperor Guard came in from the back door and handed a three-inch-thick diary to Wei Shang before leaving.
He took the item and walked over to the imperial table, placing it in front of the Xia Emperor.
As he opened the diary, everyone in the hall was attracted by it. Success or failure depended on this move.
The Crown Prince and the Empress exchanged a glance without leaving any traces and silently completed their exchange. Then, they retracted their gazes. No matter how it jumped around, they would not move.
The diary recorded some trivial matters, starting from the birth of the Crown
Prince. The first page was about the Empress giving birth, and the palace
maids and others who helped her deliver the child. They died in accidents or disappeared mysteriously, and there was no way to investigate.
Following that was the details of the Crown Prince’s daily life over the years, including his daily residence. It was very detailed.
There were two most important clues. The first was that he had always bathed alone and had never bathed with the princes, including the Tenth Prince who was closest to him.
When he was young, the Tenth Prince had once proposed to bathe with him, but he had refused. However, the Tenth Prince was not willing to give up and sneaked into the palace. Before he could get close, he was discovered by the palace maids and severely reprimanded.
Second, he had no eunuchs by his side. He had always been a maid. If he did not have a guilty conscience and was afraid that his innocence would be tainted by the eunuch’s eyes, why did he not use a eunuch?
Which of the princes present had not been served by eunuchs when they were young? Some even peed on the eunuchs.
The rest of the matters were insignificant compared to these two points.
He finished reading it in one go.
Emperor Xia looked at the Crown Prince and had Wei Shang deliver the item. Holding the diary, the Crown Prince was curious as to what was recorded in it. He did not show it on his face. He opened the diary and read the contents. His heart trembled violently, but his expression remained the same. From beginning to end, there was no change.
He could not afford to be chaotic at this time. If there was even the slightest suspicion, he would be consigned to eternal damnation, including the Empress, Su Qiutang, and everyone related to him. They would all die!
The Xia Emperor narrowed his eyes, watching the changes in his expression. He saw that the other party was calm and composed, unflustered, and unhurried. In those deep, wise eyes, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He finished reading it in one go.
The Crown Prince returned the item to Wei Shang. He understood his father’s intentions and respectfully said, “Your son has all the power to be decided by Imperial Father!”
“Bring him down for a body check!”
“Wait!” The Empress stood up.
Princess Chang Xi’s face was full of arrogance, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a mocking smile.'”‘Do you know fear now? Back then, when you were so bold as to deceive His Majesty and falsely claim to be a prince, where did that smug spirit go?”
A dying person was not even qualified to let the Empress take a look.
He directly ignored it.
“Your Majesty, Shimin has mysophobia. It’s fine to do a body check, but don’t let the eunuchs come. Moreover, he was the Crown Prince. His status and face were placed here. Just because of some rumors or a useless diary, he would be tested today and tomorrow. What dignity was there to speak of?”
“Correct!”
Wei Shang took a step forward and made an inviting gesture.””Your Highness, please!”
As they left.
The Empress sat down again, holding the teacup in her hand. She was not in a hurry to drink. The tea was covered by the tea lid, and it rippled in circles. Ten slender fingers were perfect and even. To those who loved fingers, it was the most beautiful gift from heaven.o
The Princes were also waiting. They were in great torment. They wished they could rush in and check for themselves. If the Crown Prince was really a woman, the Empress’s faction would be completely eradicated, and the Crown Prince’s position would be vacant. At that time, there would be fierce competition. They had planned ahead just in case.
Although she had failed, she had succeeded.
After scheming for so many years, even though he might have done it for others, at least he had fought for it and died without regrets.
Extreme people, extreme thoughts!
Very quickly.
Wei Shang came out from inside, and the Crown Prince returned as well. They stopped in the main hall. There was no change in their expressions, but all of this had already explained the result. He was not a woman, but a man with a
penis!
If he was a woman, he would have been captured by now and not be here. Stopping beside the Xia Emperor, Wei Shang whispered a few words into his ear.
“This matter ends here.”
He stood up from the dragon throne and left with Wei Shang’s help.
Princess Chang Xi couldn’t believe it. This must be fake. The palace maid had been bribed by the Crown Prince, and she rushed madly towards Emperor
Xia.”Your Majesty! They’re ganging up to deceive you.. Don’t believe them!”
