Chapter 990 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and twelve)

Over the past month, after the major reshuffle in the Eastern Palace, the court has also been cleaned up a lot.

Since the beginning of this year, bad things have happened to the emperor one after another. His two sons became disabled, and one of them was his crown prince.

There was also the fact that his son specifically assassinated him in order to win the emperor's favor. These things made the emperor doubt whether he was a good father.

When the emperor was still a prince, he was actually not favored by the late emperor. The late emperor's favorite son was Prince Lu, and even the most prosperous county was chosen as the fiefdom for Prince Lu.

After ascending the throne, the emperor expected to treat all his children equally and raise them well. He thought he was a loving father, proving that there was kinship among the royal family, but in reality, it was just wishful thinking.

Perhaps his repeated compromises emboldened his sons, giving them the confidence to harm their brothers and even themselves, their father.

Yes, the third brother and the prince killed the fourth brother. Did he avenge the fourth brother? No.

Because the fourth prince's paralysis involves other princes besides the eighth prince, the eldest prince and the seventh prince are also involved, he cannot ignore his other sons.

The prince had an affair with a woman and had poor personal ethics, but he only confined the prince to his home and did not harm his foundation.

Did he demote the third and fourth sons to commoners when they plotted to assassinate him?

He felt that the fourth prince was out to seek revenge, which was why he harmed the third prince; and that the third prince was just trying to win his favor, which was why he wanted to save the emperor. His repeated indulgences made the other princes regard the crown prince as a thorn in their side, and they were trying to pull him down from the position of crown prince, both openly and covertly.

Didn't the third brother hide behind the prince and use the prince's people to murder the fourth brother? Just like the eldest brother, was he planning to use the horse farm incident to frame the prince?

Then, the Dai girl who had an affair with the crown prince and became pregnant, the baby in her belly was the crown prince's hope, but who destroyed it? Did Ye Hao kill the crown prince and the Dai girl's child? Not only him, but also the crown princess, his eldest son, and even Concubine Luo and the fourth son.

The emperor knew everything, but he was indecisive and watched coldly. It was not until the prince was burned into half human, half ghost and lifeless that the emperor was awakened as if by a blow to the head.

The emperor had even mocked his own sister, mistaking her own daughter for his own, being toyed with by a commoner. But was he any better off than the empress? The empress couldn't recognize his daughter, nor could he see his sons' true colors. Whether it was to balance power at court or simply to be reluctant to dispose of his own sons, he was pushing them to a dead end. If he wasn't ruthless enough towards his own children, would they ever be ruthless towards him?

He could even cripple his own brother. Since his father was blocking their path to becoming emperor, should he be killed too?

The prince was in a coma for two days and two nights, so the emperor suspended court for two days.

The Crown Princess, who openly harmed the Crown Prince, was imprisoned, but she died in prison within a day.

After the imperial physician examined her, he discovered that the Crown Princess had already taken a chronic poison and would surely die within twelve hours of taking it.

The death of the Crown Princess would only make the Emperor angrier, not calm him down. He did not agree with the saying "the disaster should not extend to the mother's family".

The Crown Princess's family was raided by the Emperor. Because they had no involvement in the Crown Prince's murder, the Emperor confiscated their wealth accumulated over a century, sparing their lives. However, those within the fifth degree of mourning were prohibited from holding official positions for three generations. Even after death, debts remain. While the Emperor was settling accounts with those implicated in the incident, he awaited the Crown Prince's awakening.

As soon as the prince woke up, the palace servants reported it to the emperor and empress.

The prince, who was unable to speak or move, just looked at the emperor and the queen with a pair of desperate eyes. Amid the queen's crying, the emperor had a blank expression. He was in pain in his heart, so painful that he was numb. Suddenly, he jumped out of the father-son relationship and saw his own crisis.

The prince looked three points like the emperor. The emperor seemed to foresee that one day he would be harmed and become half-human, half-ghost, and could only wait for death in bed.

He would never allow himself to become like that, never.

The emperor's transformation could be felt by the sensitive ministers, concubines, and palace maids.

The emperor suddenly became even colder and more ruthless. The knife in his hand finally swung towards those rebellious sons, those concubines who were causing trouble in the harem, and those court officials who took advantage of their power to bully others and deceive their superiors.
