Chapter 230 - Chen Cheng is punished

Xiao Qingqian frowned, thinking of who the Old Emperor would hand over to to investigate this matter.

As he expected, there was a Prime Minister Wei among them.

Xiao Hanqi hurriedly cupped his fists, ”royal father, Prime Minister Wei is the father of Princess Chu, this is unfair!”

When his words landed, naturally, they could not avoid the sharp eyes of the Old Emperor, ”We have not finished yet, what are you so anxious for?”

Xiao Hanqi was somewhat resentful and kept quiet.

Although the two of them were a little unwilling in their hearts, they were unwilling to anger the Old Emperor, so they could only reply ”Yes” in a low voice.

Old Emperor gasped for breath impatiently, he looked at the other court officials and asked: ”What else do the officials have to report?”

Old Emperor was already unhappy in his heart just now. If someone were to mention something that displeased Old Emperor right now, he would really jump into a fire pit.

All the court officials shook their heads and did not say anything.

Old Emperor looked at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch raised his duck voice and shouted, ”Withdraw!”

Xiao Qingqian glared hatefully at the assassin, before narrowing his dangerous eyes at Xiao Hanqi.

”Third brother, you must not think that your actions are flawless!”

Xiao Qingqian brushed away the hand that was on his shoulder and sneered, ”Crown Prince, don't forget the old saying, 'if you want something, don't do it unless you want it to be on your own'!”

Wei Qing had been paying attention to Xiao Hanqi's expression while the two of them were conversing, so he didn't notice anything strange from his face.

Xiao Qingqian congealed Xiao Hanqi's back as he walked further and further away, and the hand under his sleeve suddenly tightened.

”He could have obviously been convicted, but royal father forcefully sent out the crown prince!”

Even if something were to be investigated, the crown prince would probably not allow the Prime Minister Wei to report everything to him.

Wei Qing raised her eyebrows and said, ”No wonder she has aged so much recently.”

Hearing that, Xiao Qingqian's face became even uglier: What did you say just now?

Even if he was old, it was because he worked hard for the North, and also because he did not sleep.

Wei Qing curled her lips, ”Did you eat gunpowder?”

Xiao Qingqian thought that did he eat gunpowder?

Wei Qing was like an impregnable fortress, no matter how she attacked or how she attacked, she could not break it. And on the other hand, a pregnant Jin Qiao’er was easily able to eliminate his punishment for restricting his movement.

With that thought, he glanced at Wei Qing and walked away.

Wei Qing pointed his middle finger at his back, and coincidentally, Xiao Qingqian turned his head and saw everything clearly.

The corner of her mouth twitched, ”Don't misunderstand. I was just about to raise my index finger, but somehow I raised my middle finger.”

Xiao Qingqian's face was solemn, as though he was covered in frost, and coldly rebuked: ”Why aren't you following me?”

Wei Qing replied and the two got into the carriage.

”Don't put on a face like someone owes you a few bucks, huh?”

Originally, she did not want to care about Xiao Qingqian. The more unhappy this person was, the better she would look at him.

However, everyone sitting in the same carriage, coupled with the fact that Xiao Qingqian's actions last night had scared her, she was truly a little anxious.

Xiao Qingqian crossed his arms in front of his chest, and did not say a word.
