Chapter 948: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (70)

Although the setting sun outside the palace illuminated it with golden splendor, the hall where the fourth prince was located was dark and gloomy.

The palace servants were afraid that the Fourth Prince would catch a cold, so they left only small gaps in the doors and windows for ventilation, and only two small lamps were left in the hall for lighting.

"Someone is coming..."

As soon as the Fourth Prince opened his eyes and spoke, the palace servants guarding him became agitated. The Fourth Prince finally woke up.

Soon, Concubine Luo and the Fourth Prince's wife appeared beside the Fourth Prince's bed.

Concubine Luo grabbed her son's hand and asked worriedly, "My son, you're finally awake. How are you feeling?" The Fourth Prince was terrified. His expression was uneasy, and he spoke rapidly and with difficulty, "Mother, my chest and arms hurt, but why can't I feel anything below my thighs? Will I have to stay in bed for the rest of my life?"

"My poor son, my poor son... Mother has sent people to find miracle doctors from all over the country. They will definitely cure you."

The Fourth Prince looked at his weeping mother and wife, and became furious. Why was he the one injured? He was the one who was crippled!

"Crown Prince...Eldest Prince...Mother, they arranged this horse race. They must be the ones who are harming me! Don't let them go!"

Concubine Luo kept nodding. She comforted her son: "Mother will definitely avenge you."

She looked at her decadent son with a sharp pain in her heart. With his paralysis, her son was completely kicked out of the fight for the throne. Those in her lineage who had long supported the Fourth Prince were now hopeless.

Concubine Luo was so angry that she wanted to vent, but she knew that the more she was at this moment, the more she had to stay calm. If she did something and was caught, she would be the victim and would end up displeased by the emperor.

Concubine Luo looked at the Fourth Prince's wife and asked her to go back and see her grandson, in case the servants were not attentive enough. The prince was paralyzed and would have to rely on his sons for his retirement. Fortunately, the prince still had a legitimate son and a illegitimate son. If they were raised well, they might become successful. In the future, they might lie dormant and rebel against the emperor's uncle.

The Fourth Prince had lost hope of becoming the crown prince, so he placed his hopes on his son. He also softened his tone towards the Crown Princess, who usually had a bad temper, and asked her to go back and teach her sons well.

Concubine Luo was determined to prevent the princes who had harmed her son from gaining the throne. She asked herself, were those princes both virtuous and talented? Were they good candidates to inherit the throne and represent the people?

No, she could think of a lot of shortcomings for each prince in her mind. Compared with her own son, they were just as bad. If that was the case, then no one should even think about getting to the throne!

The Fourth Prince's wife looked at the mother and son, both of whom had madness in their eyes, and lowered her head to take her leave. She felt that her mother-in-law and husband had fallen into a trance, so she had better not offend anyone and return home quickly.

On this side, Concubine Luo was comforting the Fourth Prince, hoping that he would cheer up. On the other side, the Dali Temple Minister faced Song Qingting with a hint of impatience in his eyes, but he hid it well.

"Don't worry, Miss Song, I won't wrongly accuse any good person. You will take responsibility for the mistakes you made, and I won't throw dirty water on you for things you didn't do."

"Thank you, sir."

Song Qingting glanced at the silent Shaoqing of the Dali Temple next to her, and wanted to expose the prince's personal moral flaws, but she didn't say it in the end.

The Dali Temple Minister thought that the Shaoqing was as loyal to the emperor as he was, so he did not avoid him when handling the case, which made Song Qingting embarrassed.

Yes, she was truly afraid of death. If she hadn't, she would have been tired of the dull life in the nunnery in her previous life and would have committed suicide long ago. How could she have died of old age? She could start over in this life, so she cherished her life even more. She didn't dare reveal the secret meeting between the Crown Prince and Dai Yao, fearing that the Dali Temple's Shaoqing would silence her. So she had no choice but to recount her experiences at the horse farm. She had previously kept silent, denying everything, even the harm to Geng Qianqian. But there was too much evidence, and it was useless for her to deny.

This time when she went to see the Dali Temple Minister, she told him everything she had done, but she did not admit to murdering the Fourth Prince at all.

She repeated it several times, saying that the evidence accusing her of murdering the Fourth Prince was false and that she was just an innocent person implicated.

The Dali Temple Minister finally lost his patience and sent Song Qingting back.
