Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 651

Felix had been locked up in prison since the emperor woke up. So, Francis went to see the emperor to remind him that Felix was still a prince at the end of the day. Even if he had made such an unforgivable mistake, he was still a member of the royal family, and that was no way to treat a prince. With that in mind, Francis proposed to release Felix, the former crown prince and the current eldest prince, from prison.

"Are you asking me to just let him go? Just release him and act as if nothing ever happened?" The emperor had just taken some medicine and was in a good mood. However, the tone of his voice was flat, so no one could tell whether he was actually happy or angry.

"Please don't misunderstand, Father. I'm not asking you to let him go. It's a fact that the eldest prince committed a grave mistake, and I also believe that he should be punished for it. I just think that the prison is not the right place for him to stay in. The former crown prince's mansion, which is the current eldest prince's mansion, should be a good place for him to reflect on his mistakes. In my opinion, although the eldest prince is unfilial, you are still a kind father. It should be enough to keep him locked up in his mansion. After all, his wife is carrying his child. For the sake of the unborn baby, please have him transferred to his mansion instead. This way, you can show how merciful you are. Besides, there's not much of a difference between the Cold Palace and the current eldest prince's mansion anyway. Staying there can actually be considered a punishment as well." Francis' voice was as gentle as his character. At that moment, he was dressed in white, as pure as snow, and the smile on his face was also very clear and bright.

After giving it much thought, the emperor finally nodded his head and said, "Okay. Get him out of the prison and put him under house arrest in his mansion. He is forbidden to leave that place for the rest of his life."

"Yes, Father."

Francis immediately asked someone to take Felix back to the eldest prince's mansion. Felix had been stripped of his titles as the crown prince and prince. Right now, he was just a civilian. To live in his mansion under house arrest was indeed no better than to stay in prison for good.

After the once powerful crown prince's mansion had been turned into the eldest prince's mansion, it became very neglected. There were no servants at all, and the former crown princess even had to prepare meals for herself. The guards outside wouldn't allow them to step outside, and they also had to pay for what they wanted to eat.

When Felix finally returned to his old home, he stumbled upon the desolate yard and all sorts of feelings began to well up inside of him. Moreover, seeing his pregnant wife cooking almost broke his heart.

"Fiona... Is everything okay?" Felix asked, his voice cracking up from the tears.

Hearing this, Fiona stared at him for a long time, but she simply turned back and went into the room, completely ignoring him, as though he was nothing but a random stranger!
