Chapter 951: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Seventy-three)
Faced with evidence that was either familiar or unfamiliar, the eldest prince and the crown prince denied it and immediately attacked each other verbally.
It was late at night, and the emperor allowed the crown prince and the eldest prince to quarrel, but the only thing he had to do was that the princes could not leave his sight for a single step, lest they do something bad behind his back and affect his investigation.
The other princes either joined in or watched the show.
The eighth prince dozed off in his chair. With a bang, his forehead hit the small table next to him, attracting the attention of his father and brothers.
The eighth prince smiled with a carefree air, yet also with a cold indifference that seemed to have nothing to do with him.
The Eighth Prince rubbed his red forehead, covered his face and said, "Hey, Your Highness, you and the eldest brother continue talking. Don't pay attention to Xiaoba. Xiaoba is just a little sleepy."
The Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince looked at each other. They had been at loggerheads with each other, but now they suddenly couldn't continue talking. It felt like the other brothers and their father were watching them fight.
If they continue to fight, will they allow other princes to reap the benefits?
The eldest prince looked at his eighth brother with a serious expression and said, "Little Eight is really free and has the energy to sleep at this hour. And it's true, you're not the one being wronged, nor are you the one injured and paralyzed in bed."
The prince also said: "Xiao Ba is lucky. When the fourth brother was in trouble, you happened to have a stomachache and postponed the horse farm work. No matter who was suspected of hurting the fourth brother, it was not you.
Unlike me and my elder brother, we originally wanted to relax the brothers, so we organized the horse race, but something unexpected happened. We are filled with shame and remorse over Fourth Brother's injury, and haven't slept well in days." The eldest prince sighed, "Everyone thinks Second Miss Song and County Lady Zhou in the prison are being used, and that it's me or the Crown Prince who's behind the scenes, brutally harming my own brother. I swear to heaven, Fourth Brother's horse lost control, and it wasn't my medicine that caused it."
The Eighth Prince's sleepiness instantly dissipated. He stood up and looked at the Emperor, saying aggrievedly, "Father, I'm just young and sleepy. After Fourth Brother was injured, I was also very worried about him. I even went to see him today. Seventh Brother, don't you think so? Why do Eldest Brother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to wrongly accuse me?"
Zhao Jian nodded quickly, "Yes, Father. My son and I went to see Fourth Brother today, but he didn't see us."
The eldest prince said sarcastically, "In the eyes of the fourth prince, the people most likely to hurt him are us brothers. How could he be happy to see his enemies? Maybe he really wants us to be unable to stand up."
"Alright, everyone, be quiet for a moment. Prince, you and the boss have been arguing with each other. I think neither of you is innocent."
"Father..." The emperor raised his hand to stop the prince from speaking and ordered, "Come, change a cup of strong tea for the princes."
For a moment, the imperial study was filled with the sound of drinking tea.
After finishing his tea, the emperor asked the other princes, "Eighth Prince, Seventh Prince, Third Prince, these evidences point to either Song Qingting or the Crown Prince and the eldest prince. What do you think? Who do you think murdered the fourth prince? Tell me one by one."
The Eighth Prince simply shook his head, saying he had no idea. "I'm a foolish person, and I can't figure out who harmed Fourth Brother. I just think the most important thing right now is to heal Fourth Brother's injuries. Once Fourth Brother is healed, the murderer behind this will be deeply disappointed."
The eldest prince's expression was slightly mocking. "Hasn't there been enough doctors coming into the palace these past two days?" They all shook their heads and sighed, helpless. The fourth prince could only lie in bed for the rest of his life. He wanted to stand up, but he was dreaming.
Zhao Jian always played the game of peacemaking, not daring to offend anyone, let alone the Crown Prince and the First Prince. He simply said, "I feel this matter is complicated and needs further investigation. Currently, the case is unclear and it's difficult to make a judgment." The First Prince shouted, "Seventh brother, you said it but you didn't."
Zhao Jian's face flushed with embarrassment and he didn't dare to refute.
The emperor nodded. "What do you think, Third Brother? Tell me what you have to say. I won't be angry with you."
In response to his father's question, the third prince stood up and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I believe that since Your Highness the Crown Prince and my elder brother organized the horse race, they will be held responsible for any incidents at the racecourse."
The eldest prince shouted at the third prince: "Third prince, what do you mean? I think you have more intentions than me!"
