Chapter 390: Prince of Yundian Rebels!

The Fourth Prince was gravely injured, his head bloodied.

He did not cry out in pain, only shouting "Father Emperor, I am wronged" and the like.

Whether he was wronged or not depended entirely on the Emperor's mindset.

News of Consort Yun's abdominal pains reached the back palace, and the Emperor, preoccupied, ordered someone to imprison the Fourth Prince in the dungeon and dispatched a trusted aide to investigate allegations of conspiracy and treason against him.

Once inside, it wouldn't be so easy to get out.

Murong Jiu burned the letters and her lips curled up into a smile.

The Emperor had few descendants; he might not actually decide how to deal with the Fourth Prince, but that was under the assumption that the Emperor was unaware of his misdeeds. What if the Emperor learned of his crimes?
