Later on, he stopped bringing Emperor Hao along. Emperor Hao returned to the capital city, but he still sent people to bring scrumptious meals. He also often gave them to everyone around.
Immediately, Prince Ying felt ashamed and knelt in the direction of the capital city. “l was confused…”
In the end, tears streamed down his face.
After a long while, Prince Ying finally calmed down a little. He slowly stood up and said to the leader, “l hope that you can go back and report to the Emperor my confession. I made a huge mistake. I will definitely go to the capital city to apologize in person.”
The leader immediately cupped his fists. “Don’t worry, Your Highness. We’ll report this to the Emperor immediately.”
It was only after Emperor Hao’s men had left that Prince Ying sent someone in to untie the men he had sent out.
“Your Highness, I’ve failed you.” The four people who had been tortured and hadn’t explained anything cried bitterly, feeling that they hadn’t helped at all.
They also talked about how they met the Empress Dowager at Xinyuan, changed their mind at the last minute, and tried to assassinate the Empress Dowager. They also talked about how the Empress Dowager’s people interrogated them… Everything was explained in detail.
“Your Highness, we, we…” The other two people who were assigned to the task knelt on the ground, trembling.
Prince Ying looked at the butler who had just entered. “Give them some silver and let them go home.” He did not blame them.
“Your Highness!” The two of them immediately felt ashamed.
“Go. Home.” Prince Ying waved his hand weakly. He also knew that there were very few people in this world who could withstand torture. He did not blame them at all.
Moreover, he regretted sending people to Xinyuan.
“Your Highness…” The two of them immediately began to cry, but they were crying in shame. “We have let you down. You nurtured us, took care of our families, and gave us a good life. How can we take your money and leave? We have no right to live in this world…” As they spoke, they drew their swords and committed suicide.
“No!” Prince Ying was shocked when he saw the two of them fall to the ground, dead. He then slumped back into his chair and muttered, “Why…” After a while, he closed his eyes and said softly, “Bury them properly. Give their families more money. They have done a lot of things for me over the years. ”
“Yes.” The butler bowed in response.
Then, he ordered people to carry the two corpses down and bury them properly. He also got someone to bring the other four to rest.
When things quieted down, the butler went to Prince Yings side. He hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “Your Highness, Prince Yi is too young and unpredictable… He must not be left alive.”
Prince Ying nodded slowly as he opened his old eyes. “Go and call the people over. I want to personally kill this brat and take his head to the Imperial Capital to beg for forgiveness from the Emperor.”
He would never kill a child so cruelly under normal circumstances. However, it was obvious that keeping this child alive would be a great disaster. He had to kill him.
When it came to killing someone, he would not be merciful at all.
“Yes.” The butler bowed and then led his men to invite Prince Yi. Once Prince Yi arrives, he will kill him on the spot.
Prince Yi was currently in Prince Yings residence. Ever since Prince Ying had
accepted his suggestion and sent someone to Xinyuan, he had been arranged to stay in Prince Yings residence as a guest of honor. He was treated as royalty here. Prince Ying had given him a courtyard that was very quiet and had a good view. It was extremely suitable for him to live in. This courtyard was called Hongsong Courtyard..
