Foot Right on the Spot

The Emperor coldly asked, “Why would the Crown Prince do such a thing?”

“This servant does not know.”

Jiang Ruobai said, “Your Majesty, this man is just a death soldier, only obeying orders and knowing nothing else.”

“It seems that Prime Minister Jiang has already interrogated him.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Ruobai said while glancing at his older brother.

In fact, this man was caught by Jiang Mubai and his people. The Imperial Guard who brought him in was Jiang Mubai’s confidant.

Of course, this matter should never be known to the Emperor.

Jiang Mubai sat upright, solemn and composed, as if he knew nothing about the matter.

He even stepped on his younger brother’s foot on the spot.

“Can you interrogate the Crown Prince’s people as you please? Is there no order in the Imperial Court?”

“If the Imperial Court had order, the Crown Prince should have obediently stayed in the East Palace for introspection, instead of kidnapping my daughter and taking her back to be tortured!” Jiang Ruobai said coldly.

In the Great Sheng Dynasty, the relationship between the Emperor and his subjects was not simply that of a ruler and a subordinate.

At least for the Emperor, Jiang Ruobai was not an ordinary Minister.

They grew up together with naked bottoms. Jiang Ruobai’s temperament was sometimes smooth and sometimes extremely upright, even trumping the Emperor into speechlessness.

Therefore, the Emperor had a love-hate relationship with him.

Moreover, the Emperor had once wronged Lin Zizi, and Jiang Ruobai was the one who had taken over and healed her wounded heart.

In addition, they had a promising older brother – although their relationship was not very good, they were still blood-related. As a result, the Emperor couldn’t get angry with Jiang Ruobai’s dominance.

But someone could jump out and get angry.

Jiang Mubai angrily said, “What is your attitude towards His Majesty? After all these years in office, do you not understand the principles of a ruler and his subjects? You should listen to the Emperor’s words!”

Jiang Ruobai snorted coldly, “I can listen, but I also ask His Majesty to explain why the Crown Prince was able to send someone to take my daughter away, imprison her in a secret chamber, and allow the Princess Consort to hurt her? My daughter is now lying in bed, her life hanging by a thread. This matter is not over!”

The Emperor slapped the table, “What do you want? Kill the Crown Prince?”

“A prince who commits a crime is no different from a commoner!”

“You-”

The Emperor’s face turned blue with anger.

Jiang Ruobai sneered, “Does His Majesty want to cover up for the Crown Prince? With such absurd and tyrannical behavior, what qualifications does he have to continue sitting in the position of Crown Prince? Once this gets out, where will the face of our Great Sheng Dynasty be?”

The Emperor paused for a moment, calmed down, and said, “So, Prime Minister Jiang wants to depose the Crown Prince?”

“If His Majesty thinks this matter alone is not enough, this humble official has another issue.”

“Speak!”

“On the way back from the Imperial Mausoleum, the Prince of Yu was ambushed several times, his personal guards were almost wiped out, and the Prince himself barely survived with injuries. What about this matter?”

The Emperor was slightly surprised, “The fifth prince was ambushed and injured?”

“Exactly.” Jiang Ruobai said, “This humble official specifically sent someone to investigate the Court of Judicial Review and found out that the Prince of Yu had been injured. Upon questioning, the truth was revealed.”

“Could it be the Crown Prince?”

“Your Majesty, it is not difficult to find out the truth about this matter.” Jiang Ruobai said, “The key lies in whether you are willing to believe it or not. If you believe it, then it was the Crown Prince who did it. If you don’t, even if I bring the evidence, it would be useless.”

The Emperor frowned and did not speak.

Nobody else could do such a thing except the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince was initially inferior to the Prince of Yu in many aspects. It was by a twist of fate that he got this position. Naturally, he regarded the Prince of Yu as a thorn in his side and a pain in his flesh..
