Chapter 71 Self-blame(2/2)
The waiter did not dare to raise his head again and continued.
"...Then they went up the mountain together. The eldest prince asked the servants to pick it, while the second prince picked it himself. Later, the second prince talked to the eldest prince and asked him to see the plum blossoms, and then...then the soil and rocks over there loosened, and the second prince
Accidentally hit the mark…”
"No, he was pushed by the eldest prince."
A voice interrupted him.
The waiter lowered his head and didn't even look.
In the darkness beside the couch, the silhouette of Prince Jin'an was faintly visible.
The servants who were serving at that time had all been killed with sticks. There were only a few people in the world who knew what had happened, but the King of Jin'an County actually knew. What did this mean?
Either the palace was leaking from all sides and there was no secret at all, or the prince's hands and eyes, which were originally dispensable and just a decoration, were all over the palace.
No matter what it means, this is not a good thing.
"Go on."
The Queen's voice came, breaking the stagnation in the room.
"..The second prince missed the mark. The eldest prince reached out to grab him, but he didn't have enough strength. By the time the others rushed over, it was already too late..." the chamberlain finished in one breath.
There was silence in the room, only the howling of the night wind outside could be heard.
"You go down," the queen said.
The chambermaid hurriedly kowtowed and retreated. When he closed the door, his soaked back was bitten by the cold wind, but he still breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around, lowered his head and disappeared into the night.
The lamp in the room was like a bean, and the queen had sat up on the couch. Although her face was still yellow and her hair was hanging down, there was no madness on her face, and there was not even a trace of sadness on her face.
"You have been in the palace for so many years and you are living so well. I thought that no matter what happens, you don't need help from others."
The queen's voice echoed faintly.
Prince Jin'an sat on his knees in front of the couch, his head lowered to cover his expression.
"I really didn't expect that you would seek your own death today," the queen continued.
Prince Jin'an, who was sitting on his knees, clenched his hands tightly at his side.
"What do you think is the point of doing this? Other than risking your own life?"
The Queen's voice then fell from the top of her head, because the Queen's voice, which had been ill for a long time, was not pleasant to hear, especially after she had cried and screamed a lot during the day, it was hoarse and weak.
The second prince was injured. This was a fact that everyone knew. No one would take the initiative to question how a prince was injured, especially when the Queen Mother had already announced that it was an accident.
Under such circumstances, Prince Jin'an actually continued to ask questions, and his questioning was so terrifying.
What did the eldest prince say?
Everyone knew what he was asking.
Kill your brother.
No matter what the final result is, this sentence alone is enough to mess up the world and bring the eldest prince to the forefront. Not to mention whether the concubine and the queen mother will spare him, not even the emperor will spare him.
he.
Why doesn't he know? Of course he knows. He has lived cautiously and cautiously for so long, read so many history books, and carefully observed the ups and downs of the struggles between officials in the DPRK and China. Is there anything else he doesn't know?
He knew that if he opened this mouth, he would become an unforgivable person, and the wish he had planned step by step to wait until he could safely leave the palace and be free from then on would come to nothing.
He also thought that as long as he knew something and understood the truth, he could see through it and let it go, but it turned out that was not the case, it was not true.
Some things are really...
"Not willing..."
Prince Jin'an leaned over and kowtowed, his voice hoarse and choked with sobs as he uttered three words.
Not willing! Not willing! Not willing!
