”That's right, he gathered three hundred and fifty thousand troops with King Anguang, and the ninth prince and that Rong He County Lord also brought out ironclad evidence to prove that the old master and King Anping colluded. The emperor was furious, so he won't listen to anything the old master said.” Mu Bai wiped the sweat off his face and said with a trembling voice.
”Ninth Prince and Lian Ruyue?” A hint of thought flashed within Xiao He's eyes.
”Second master, please run away. The lord is your father and King Anping is your biological father. No matter what, you will always be responsible for him. Please run away.” Mu Bai looked around in panic as he urged Xiao He to leave quickly.
Xiao He, however, had already calmed down. No matter where I run to, I am still Xiao Zhenhai's son, the grandson of Lu Shang. Furthermore, this is not the world's land, no matter how much I run away, I will never be able to escape from the emperor's palm. ”
”But, that … ”Then …”
”Young duke!” As he was speaking, Jiang Keji led several guards with sabers over. He cupped his fists together and said, ”Young Marquis, I've offended you. His Majesty has an order to lock you up.”
Xiao He laughed bitterly and said, ”Thinking back then, when my father and I triumphantly returned from Liao Prefecture and tens of thousands of citizens rejoiced, the Emperor personally led a group of princes and princes to welcome us at the city gate. How glorious was my Xiao family and how high-spirited was I, Xiao He, was.
”Capture Commander Jiang.”
As Xiao He spoke, he extended his hands and clenched them into fists.
Jiang Keji hesitated for a moment before gesturing to the guards behind him, using iron chains to tie up Xiao He's hands.
”Close the young duke's carriage and escort him to the capital!” At Jiang Keji's command, Xiao He was escorted outside. Under the sunlight, his back was straight. He still did not lose the demeanor of a Heavenly Treasure Great General.
A prison cart was waiting for Xiao He, and on both sides of the prison cart were four guards in charge of escorting him. When he saw the person inside the prison cart in front of him, his entire body shuddered as if he was struck by lightning.
He saw his father, who was always so high and mighty, standing in a square inch large prison cart, wearing only a white prison uniform. His hair was messy, his neck was shackled, his hands were forced to be tied to the sides of his head, his feet were tied with rough iron chains, and in an instant, he had aged a lot, like a stray dog!
”Father …” His voice trembled, he called out, and his eyes reddened.
Xiao Zhenhai also saw Xiao He and looked at him coldly. After a ”hmph”, he turned his head away.
”Young duke, get on the prison cart.” The guard at the side said.
Xiao He tightly stared at Xiao Zhenhai and numbly climbed onto the prison cart. In his memories, his father had always been a domineering and domineering person. Everyone respectfully addressed him as the Emperor. He had never seen his father in such a sorry state.
”Let's go!”
With a single command from Jiang Keji, the carriage wheels began to rumble as they headed in the direction of the capital.
”I have seen the birds chirping in and out of Jinling Jade Palace, Qin Huai Water Pavilion bloomed early, who knows if it could be easily frozen or not! You see him get up from the Zhu Residence, you see him entertaining guests, and you see his building collapse! ”
A desolate song sounded out, and Xiao He felt a burst of coldness in his heart. He saw him rise up from the Zhu Residence, watch him feast his guests, and see his building collapse! Is this the Xiao family?
Within the hall.
Everyone retreated, and in the end, only Feng Yunzheng, Feng Qianyue, and Lian Ruyue remained. The moonlight shone like the setting sun on their faces —
Feng Yunzheng walked to Lian Ruyue's side, bent down, and gently asked, ”Are you okay?”
Lian Xiyue nodded, and Feng Yunzheng smiled.
Feng Qianyue stood in front of them with an expressionless face, and he coldly looked at the tacit understanding between the two of them as if they were one person. The corners of his eyes twitched faintly, and the corners of his mouth were ice-cold like snow.
”Let's go. Mufei wants to see you.” Feng Yunzheng said to Lian Xiyue.
