Chapter 1263 Prince Li’s Extra: Forgiveness

After working in the imperial study for a long time, Murong Zheng ordered the eunuch behind him to draft an edict to sentence the former imperial concubine Dong to death.

"Your Majesty, the fourth prince..." The eunuch had followed Murong Zheng for many years and understood his thoughts best, so he couldn't help but remind him.

Murong Zheng looked at the eunuch and said softly: "Although my Murong family holds power over the world, every generation of kings will be told by their father to treat their wives and children well while taking on the heavy burden of the country. Because of this ancestral precept, even if there are brothers fighting, there is little killing and bloodshed. I made an exception this time, also for the peace of the harem in the future."

Murong Zheng's explanation was more like what he said to himself.

The eunuch didn't dare to say much. Since Murong Zheng had made a decision, he could only hurry up and do it.

But he didn't expect to run into Murong Jie as soon as he went out. The eunuch hurriedly saluted, but his eyes avoided Murong Jie. After all, what he was going to do was related to Murong Jie's mother.

"Did the guard confess? Was it my mother who ordered it?"

The young eunuch didn't dare to look at Murong Jie, but just nodded. Because he had been following the emperor for these years, he had a lot of contact with Murong Jie. He would greet him and ask about his situation when he saw him. This time, he avoided him.

"Wait for me here first, I'll go find my father."

Murong Jie hurried into the imperial study and knelt in front of Murong Zheng with a plop.

"Why are you here?" He hadn't seen Murong Jie since he met Dong. He liked this son, but Dong's existence was a bond between them before, but now it was a barrier between them.

He couldn't forgive Dong, so he didn't want to see Murong Jie, because as Dong's son, he would only plead for Dong.

"Father, please spare my mother's life. She is punished every day now." Murong Jie knelt on the ground, and his words of request seemed to be with tears, and every word hit Murong Zheng's heart.

"I don't ask you to spare my mother from punishment. She did do a lot of wrong things. Maybe in your eyes, she is unforgivable, but to me, she is my mother. Even if she is the most evil, I just hope she can live. I hope she can see me marry and have children like other mothers." Murong Jie said, tears falling uncontrollably.

These days, he knew that his mother suffered, but he didn't have the face to ask his father. Although no one told him, he could vaguely guess that his father's poisoning was related to his mother.

"Father, you can punish my mother in any way you want, just let her live. I don't want to be without my mother."

"Father..."

The words of pleading finally turned into a voice of father, and Murong Zheng's heart softened when he heard it.

The one begging in front of him was the child he had spoiled. When he wavered, he suddenly thought of Concubine Jin, and his heart, which was softened by tears, hardened instantly.

"This time, your third brother's legs may be crippled? Father, you must give him an explanation? Even if your third brother is willing to forgive, what about Imperial Concubine Jin? Your mother has always been hostile to Imperial Concubine Jin, otherwise she would not have repeatedly attacked your third brother."

"Father, I will go to ask my third brother, ask the Imperial Concubine, I will ask them, my third brother will agree to me, my third brother will do it, father, please don't worry, wait for my news first, okay, father, I beg you."

After Murong Jie finished speaking, he kowtowed continuously, again and again, he tried his best, pious and resolute.

Murong Zheng didn't know how to answer. According to Murong Kai's temperament, he would definitely choose to forgive, because Murong Jie was his brother, and when he knelt in front of Murong Kai, it was moral kidnapping. If he really forgave Dong, how would he face Imperial Concubine Jin? How would he face Murong Kai?
