The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1472

Chapter 1472: 719 Mother and Child Share One Heart (second update)

Regrettably, Prince Ming couldn’t disclose that he had gone to meet a master in place of the Crown Prince—

The look in the monarch’s eyes was almost an outright accusation, "Did you go to assassinate your aunt?"

Prince Ming felt like crying, "But you haven’t announced aunty’s disappearance! How could I have known—"

The monarch nodded, "Indeed, I haven’t announced it, so you must have planted a spy by my side!"

Prince Ming: "I did not!"

Shangguan Yun added fuel to the fire, "You did, I saw it."

What did you see—you saw!?

How can you lie with your eyes wide open!

Prince Ming clenched his teeth and pointed, "Aunty remembers me! She called me her nephew! She was feigning amnesia!"

With a snort, the monarch said, "Shangguan Yun would call you nephew? Then she really must have lost her memory because she never bothered with you."

Prince Ming: "..."

Can you stumble into a trap like this?!

The monarch ordered Prince Ming to roll back to the Crown Prince’s residence and placed him under house arrest for three months, then angrily had Zhang Deqiang summon the Crown Prince to the palace and rebuked him fiercely.

A father’s dereliction in teaching is his own fault, regardless of what Prince Ming did in the Opera House, it was his failure as a father to discipline him. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

The Crown Prince thought to himself, then isn’t this your fault, Father?

It was enough to entertain the thought, but uttering it would have led the monarch to kill him.

Thanks to Prince Ming drawing the monarch’s ire, the punishment for Shangguan Yun wasn’t so severe; at least, the monarch didn’t actually kill her with a sword.

But she was put under house arrest as well.

After all, for tricking the monarch into becoming bald, there was no way he was going to let that go easily.

"Where is Qingqing? Speak, and I will deal with you more leniently," the monarch said.

Shangguan Yun remained silent.

The monarch coldly said, "Shangguan Yun, I didn’t keep you in the Imperial Palace to protect you. It’s only because the truth behind the Imperial Mausoleum’s desecration isn’t out yet. Once everything is clear, you will immediately roll back to the Imperial Mausoleum!"

Suddenly, someone from the external court reported, "Your Majesty! There is progress concerning the Imperial Mausoleum!"

The monarch: "..."

The monarch almost choked on his breath.

Shangguan Yun didn’t fare any better.

She couldn’t return to the Imperial Mausoleum just yet.

The monarch waited for her to beg for mercy.
