Chapter 234 - 234 Prince of Yu Punished



Wenren Zong pondered.

Sanli continued, “Sir, given the current situation, things are already very unfavorable for Prince of Yu. After all, he is neither the oldest nor the legitimate son, and after divorcing Princess Consort of Yu, he also lost such a significant ally like Prime Minister Jiang. Moreover, there is a piece of good news.”

“What is it?”

“Princess Consort of Chen is already three months pregnant, the imperial physician has diagnosed her pulse, and it is highly likely to be a boy.”

“I see,” Wenren Zong raised his hand, “You may go.”

Sanli asked, “Will you be staying in the Jiang residence to recover for a few days?”

“Yes, I will. If there is any news, tell me when I return.”

“I understand, sir.” Sanli bowed and withdrew.

From that day on, Wenren Zong stayed at the Jiang residence to recover from his injuries.

His wounds were not very serious, and after three or five days, they were more or less healed.

Every day, Jiang Ning would visit him and personally serve him water and medicine.

The Wenren family, on the other hand, completely ignored him, as if they had handed him over to the Jiang family.

What could the Jiang family do?

They could only serve him.

At first, Jiang Ning was wondering whether Li Hongyuan would do anything once Wenren Zong moved into the Jiang family’s residence.

However, nothing happened these few days.

Everything was calm.

Li Hongyuan not only did not do anything, but he also never even appeared or visited the two children.

This was highly abnormal.

According to the past habits, he would almost visit the children every day, and if he didn’t come the day before, he would definitely come the next day.

But now, counting back and forth, he had not appeared for five days already.

Had he finally given up?

As Jiang Ning was feeling puzzled, she heard from Jiang Yi, who had just returned from the court, that Prince of Yu had been detained.

“Why was he detained?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Because of the incident where he hit Wenren Zong,” Jiang Yi replied. “The matter has caused great anger among the court, and everyone is seeking justice for Wenren Zong.”

Indeed, the incident of Li Hongyuan hitting people was completely unjustifiable, with no reason whatsoever.

The key point was the terrible impact.

No one should punish doctors, let alone ministers, even if they have committed a crime. And Wenren Zong had not done anything wrong at all.

If Prince of Yu behaves so unscrupulously even before becoming the Crown Prince, wouldn’t he turn into a tyrant or foolish ruler who can’t tell right from wrong once he ascends the throne?

What does he take the state and the people for?

Many who originally supported him have now started to withdraw their support.

The Emperor, unable to bear the headache, could only punish Prince of Yu to pacify public anger: confining him for three months, and having him write scriptures on the wall as repentance.

Jiang Ning said after hearing this, “It’s just that he won’t be allowed to leave his residence for three months, not a big deal.”

“Seventh sister, you’re oversimplifying it.”

“Why?”

“If he were only confined to Prince of Yu’s residence for three months, it would be different. This time, he’s been confined to the Hall of Virtue, not allowed to leave for even half a step, and there are imperial guards watching outside.” “That serious?” Jiang Ning looked shocked.

The Hall of Virtue might sound pleasant, but it was actually a standard place of hardship, not much better than the cold palace where abandoned consorts were sent. Originally a hall for worshiping ancestors, it only had memorial tablets and cushions, with nothing else.

There were no beds, tables, or chairs, and in the winter months, there was no brazier for warmth.

Being confined for just a day or two might be bearable, but not three months, and having to write scriptures every day, would be quite tormenting for a pampered prince.

Jiang Yi continued, “Now is the crucial moment for appointing a Crown Prince. Because of this incident, it’s hard to say who will end up winning. Oh, I heard that Princess Consort of Chen is pregnant with a male heir too.”

Jiang Ning furrowed her brow.

If Li Hongyuan does not become the Crown Prince, could the two children remain in the Jiang family forever?
