C631 East window incidence (2/2)
In reality, their plan had started from the moment Feng Yunzheng thought of the Eunuch Order. Naturally, this was something for the future.
The expression on Feng Qianyue's face gradually disappeared, but he forced himself to remain calm. The current situation was already very different from the Duke of Xiao and him, so he could no longer speak up for Xiao Zhenhai. He was already suspected of framing Feng Yunzheng.
He began to feel like an ant on a hot pan. He forced himself to calm down, to calm down a bit more, and how to escape from this unfavorable situation.
In order to regain the trust of the Emperor, he had put in so much effort that he couldn't let it all go to waste!
If he were to ruin it again, he would never be able to turn the tables!
He looked at Xiao Zhenhai. He wished that his father-in-law would do as he had imagined. If the situation reversed, he would acknowledge all his crimes and protect his son-in-law!
Zhou Cheng Emperor suddenly stood up with anger written all over his face. He pointed at Xiao Zhenhai and said:
”One by one, you treat me as a blind person, as a fool, as someone who disobeys the wishes of others, or as someone who is extremely pleasing to the eye. Do you really think that your actions are all for the sake of a single throne? Do I really think that I don't know anything?
I'm not dead yet, you guys are fighting till your heads are bleeding! Are all of you waiting for me to die?
Today, I will tell all of you clearly that none of you sitting here will be able to obtain my throne. I have long since made the decree of establishing a crown, so it is useless for any of you to fight for it!
And you!
Xiao Zhenhai, you are a prince and a great general. You are not worried about solving difficulties for me, but you are actually keen on the prince and forming gangs with him. You are trying to win over one prince and use all your efforts to harm the other prince. How dare you treat me as one of your chess pieces!
You are really bold! The crime was unpardonable!
Today, I will not let you off lightly, I will definitely punish you harshly!
Someone come, prepare the imperial edict. We want to immediately strip away all of Xiao Zhenhai's titles, strip off his official's uniform, and throw him into prison. The Xiao family will not be spared! ”
”Your majesty, your majesty! This old subject has been wrongly accused! This old subject has been wrongly accused! This old subject didn't give this map to King Anping. Your majesty has made clear …” Xiao Zhenhai fell to the ground and looked helplessly at the emperor as he shouted loudly.
No, he, Xiao Zhenhai, was a grand duke, a mighty general that could shake the world. His Xiao family stood tall, dominating the capital. The Xiao family would not fall, and the Xiao family would not fall.
”Your majesty, this is a false accusation, this is a false accusation! Your majesty, this subject has always been loyal, this subject …”
”Xiao Zhenhai, one more word from you and I will immediately take your head and hang it on the city gates to show you who's boss!” Zhou Cheng Di raised his leg and kicked Xiao Zhen Hai's body. After Xiao Zhen Hai was kicked down, Zhou Cheng Di left with big strides!
Before he left, his gaze swept past Feng Qianyue, who was kneeling on the ground. Feng Qianyue felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
A cold wind blew, sending a chill down everyone's spines.
Xiao He sat on the floor with his back leaning against a bench in the corridor. He held a jug of wine in his hand and his entire body still reeked of alcohol. His eyes were filled with dejection.
”Second Young Master, Second Young Master, not good!” At this moment, Xiao He's attendant, Mu Bai, hurriedly ran over, and his legs went limp as he fell before Xiao He.
Xiao He raised his drooping eyelids as he asked indifferently, ”What's the matter?”
”Master, the master is suspected of conspiring to rebel. Commander Jiang has already locked him up in the prison,” Mu Bai gasped.
”What …” The wine jug in Xiao He's hand dropped to the ground, instantly awakening him from his drunken stupor. He abruptly stood up and said, ”What did you say? How did it end up like this?”
”Um, this servant doesn't know if this matter is true or false. I heard that the lord wanted the emperor to punish His Highness Nine for doing something unfavorable, but somehow, the ninth prince suddenly came back. Not only that, he also brought Heir Lu Maozi back, and there's a large amount of evidence proving that the assassination of the emperor a few days ago was all his doing. Also, your grandfather also sent out troops, saying that this was also the result of Master's instigation …”
”Grandpa is fighting?” Xiao He stared blankly. These days, he had been immersed in the pain that caused Yue Er to die and wasn't in the mood to care about the outside world.
