At this moment, in the hall, George Thompson值芙忝妹且捕纪A讼吕纯醋爬郑—these gazes were filled with concern, disdain, gratitude, resentment, and so on. Just from these looks alone, Thomas Thompson芰私庾约阂院蠛兔扛鋈说南啻Ψ绞健
“Reporting to Father Emperor, your son has indeed lost his memory, and now I can't even recognize characters.” Eric Thompson账档秸饫铮 immediately felt the surrounding gazes change; most people now looked at him with sympathy or even pity: being forced by the emperor to marry a concubine-born girl was already unlucky enough, and now he had lost his memory and couldn't even write—this guy's future life was bound to be a tragedy.
“Father Emperor, as the eldest brother, I also bear responsibility for Sixth Brother's injury.” At this moment, Crown Prince Benjamin Thompson jumped out, his face full of anger, and said, “But Matthew Clark, as a subject, actually dared to assault a prince—this is blatant disrespect for our royal family! I suggest that Matthew Clark must be severely punished!”
Benjamin Thompson's words immediately resonated with the other princes. After all, they were all on the same side, and the dignity of a prince could not be violated. Especially Prince Yan, Samuel Thompson, who shouted the loudest, even clamoring for Matthew Clark to be executed. This immediately made George Thompson alert; just now, Samuel Thompson had looked at him with deep resentment, and even after hearing about his amnesia, his attitude hadn't changed at all. Logically, even to uphold royal dignity, there was no need to execute the other party—there must be some conspiracy here!
Abraham Lincoln was also somewhat hesitant. George Thompson故撬's son had been beaten like this; to say he didn't feel distressed would be a lie. But in this matter, Steven Thompson写碓谙龋 and besides, Andrew Clark was no ordinary meritorious official—he was not only loyal but also one of the key supporters who helped him ascend the throne, one of his most trusted generals. No matter what, he couldn't bring himself to punish him harshly.
“Father Emperor, Sixth Brother was at fault first in this matter. Matthew Clark may have gone too far, but he had reason on his side, and with the involvement of the Xiao family, it's really not appropriate to punish him severely!” At this moment, Henry Thompson also stood up and spoke, glancing at Louis Thompson寡凵 as he did.
“Third Brother is right! It was clearly Sixth Brother's fault first, so how can we punish someone without distinguishing right from wrong?” As soon as Henry Thompson finished speaking, a little princess of about twelve or thirteen immediately jumped out to echo him, her little face inexplicably flushed red, her lips pouting high.
As soon as this unknown Simon Thompson雒妹玫男」主 spoke, all eyes in the hall turned to her, and everyone looked at her with amused smiles. A few of the younger ones couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Emperor Taizong, Abraham Lincoln, heard his daughter's words and burst out laughing: “No wonder people say girls are outwardly affectionate—she's not even married yet and already feels sorry for her future husband, hahaha…” With that, he laughed heartily again.
Philip Thompson immediately understood—this must be the Princess Qinghe, who was engaged to Matthew Clark. Hearing that her future husband was about to be punished, she couldn't help but jump out, showing none of the restraint expected of a girl. Judging by her bold and fiery nature, Matthew Clark's future was bound to be quite miserable.
Seeing Abraham Lincoln laughing, the others no longer had to hold back and all burst out laughing together. Princess Qinghe, embarrassed and angry from being laughed at, started playfully fighting with the sisters beside her who were laughing the hardest. However, Louis Thompson芯跏 felt quite uncomfortable, thinking that the palace rules were really unbearable—even between father and son, one had to watch others' faces to laugh or cry.
After everyone had almost finished laughing, Edward Thompson潘档溃骸案富剩 actually, this time I have to thank Matthew Clark, my soon-to-be brother-in-law.” When he said the words “soon-to-be brother-in-law,” Eric Thompson匾饪戳艘谎矍搴樱 which earned him a big eye-roll from the little girl.
“Oh? He injured you, and you still want to thank him? Why is that?” Abraham Lincoln still had a smile on his face as he looked at George Thompson and asked, his sharp eyes fixed on Edward Thompson as if trying to see if Mark Thompson嫡饩浠 was hiding something. The others were also curious, watching Edward Thompson, while Princess Qinghe stared at her Sixth Brother with her big, sparkling eyes, as if seeing him for the first time.
“Father Emperor, after waking up this time, although I can't remember the past, I've learned about some of my previous misdeeds from others. I feel deeply ashamed and have resolved to turn over a new leaf. Even if I can't become a wise prince, I will never bring shame to our royal family!” Mark Thompson档拇笠辶萑唬 mustered all the skills he used to write self-criticisms in elementary school—after all, saying a few nice words wouldn't kill him.
In fact, Mark Thompson嫡庑┮灿凶约旱拇蛩悖 he was no longer the original Louis Thompson耍 and his way of dealing with people would definitely be very different from before. Although he could use amnesia as an excuse, too drastic a change would inevitably arouse suspicion. For example, Walter Thompson抛约旱钠沸锌隙ū纫郧暗哪歉隼忠好得多, and he definitely wouldn't bully men and women as before. So today, he decided to make it clear: I intend to thoroughly reform myself and start anew. If you notice any differences from before, don't be too surprised!
