The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C317 night trial

The King Rong Concubine claimed that she was sick and did not come out to receive the decree. The eunuchs who sent the decree seemed to be long used to it, and it was also true that the King Rong s never knelt down to receive the decree, so if the King Rong Concubine did not come out to receive it, what was there to be worried about?

King Rong and Xiao Zongxian exchanged glances, and both father and son seemed to have noticed something odd.

After sending off the eunuch with the decree, the father and son chased the maidservant out, planning things out while they were changing their clothes.

Although you said that you caused a scandal a few days ago, if the Emperor wanted to make a fuss about it, he would have asked you for an interrogation. Why would he summon the two of us at this time?

“Military emergency?”

Xiao Zongxian guessed: “Or could it be that an official of the Censor had mixed in another book of yours?”

“What a joke. Who dares to mess with me now, unless he thinks that the head on his shoulder is too heavy. As for the military emergency, that’s not impossible. The north is preparing for a massive invasion.”

Xiao Zongxian nodded his head: “It’s not impossible.”

“Hmph, it would be best if this one allowed Duan Buyan to directly die on the battlefield. If there’s an emergency in the northwest, the emperor’s son would not dare to mobilize his troops from the southeast, and if he really supports them, it will definitely be too late. There’s only the northeast, and the capital, and if there’s a restriction in the northeast, the emperor’s son will definitely set his sights on the Gu family. ”

“I don’t know. When he went out of the city a few days ago, he reportedly came back, and stayed at home to guard the funeral, closing up his doors and going out. He said that he was going to sincerely watch over and be filial to the old Gu Hou.”

Xiao Zongxian spoke with utter disdain. It was as if he felt that Gu Xin’s so-called sincerity was just a joke.

King Rong was surprised for a moment: “Are you going to close up here? Are they really going to close up? ”

Xiao Zongxian shook his head: “I really haven’t been out recently.”

He had sent people to keep an eye on the Gu family, so he naturally knew that Gu Shenwei had not come out.

King Rong pondered for a moment, then said: “Gu Han is unreliable, and even now, I’m still not sure which direction his heart is on. Wan Yin is also a trash, she can’t even hold a man’s heart in her hands, and it’s said that the two of them never really had a good relationship, is this true?”

Xiao Zongxian rolled his eyes, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with King Rong for being concerned about his daughter and son-in-law’s room, and was also complaining in his heart, “Gu Han and our Prince Rong’s Mansion have a deep grudge, how could he possibly be single-minded towards Wan Yin?

You should not have allowed her to marry long ago. For a rascal like her, marrying anyone would be better than that bastard Gu Xin. ”

If he were to marry someone else and dare treat Xiao Wanyin badly, he could easily hit her with a raise of his hand.

Xiao Zongxian thought of all these and it became even worse.

King Rong looked at his son, and his gaze could not help but deepen: “So, on this matter, you have never been very satisfied with me either?”

“Not satisfied.” Xiao Zongxian went straight to the point. Towards his father, he would never hide his dissatisfaction.

“That’s not the only thing you don’t like about a father like me.”

“It’s good that you know.”

“Therefore, you killed the Death Soldiers that I sent out back then. It was only because they followed you that they went to find Gu Xin.”

Xiao Zongxian raised his head in shock: “I told you before, I didn’t kill those people. You didn’t say anything at that time, and you didn’t believe me?”

How do you expect me to believe that those people would die from your killing move? Even as your father, if I wanted to find an excuse for you, I wouldn’t be able to find one. My son, Father knows that you hold resentment towards me, your father.

Xiao Zongxian extremely detested his tolerant attitude. He had clearly already said that he didn’t do it, but he still didn’t believe him. He coldly laughed: “Father, you sound nice, but do you really take me as your son in your heart?”

King Rong slapped the table: “What nonsense are you spouting? If you weren’t my son, would you have been able to live as carefree as you do?

The king was still sitting on the throne at his mercy. He was really used to this son of his. He acted willfully and disorderly. He didn’t expect the king to say such words.

“I’d rather not be your son!”

King Rong was furious. Looking at his son in front of him, he felt like he had committed a crime. “Is this how your mufei taught you?”

Xiao Zongxian put on the cape on himself, looked at Prince Rong and sneered: “You’re wrong, it’s not that my mother’s concubine didn’t teach me well, but that my father doesn’t know how to teach his son!”

He turned and walked away, ignoring his father’s anger behind him.

King Rong’s eyes flashed with a ruthless light. This son of his was really getting more and more lawless, it was normal for him to contradict this son.

He squinted his eyes as he watched Xiao Zongxian’s leaving figure. If not for this son, how could he have led such a carefree life, and become a woman, separated from him, the father, because of this. Right now, they were probably even separated, not putting him, his father in his heart.

King Rong slapped the table. He felt hatred in his heart, but he still quickly calmed down. Summoning his aides and Death Soldiers to quickly arrange for an emergency response. Although he didn’t put the little emperor in his eyes, he had to be careful.

His Majesty summoned the father and son of the King Rong to the study room.

In front of the King Rong, he directly threw out a letter and smashed the envelope in his face, “My good uncle, take a look, this is your loyalty to your country.”

The Prince Rong only felt that he had been humiliated greatly. To be honest, even the current Emperor, the old Emperor from back then, his elder brother who had always bragged about being the true Son of Heaven, did not dare to insult him in such a way.

With a cold face looking at the emperor, Xiao Zongxian bent down and picked up the letter.

He smiled and said, “Royal brother, what’s the point of this? If you have something to say, you can’t say it. Why are you hurting people like this?”

The father and son duo had been quarreling in the study room before, and now they were acting as if they were on intimate terms with each other in front of outsiders.

The emperor smirked, “Hurting people? “As for what exactly is a sharp sword that can injure others, Little Brother Xu and Royal Uncle must take a good look.”

The envelope was not signed, but Xiao Zongxian opened it and took out the letter from within, only to discover that it was only a piece of white paper. Just as he was about to speak, a young eunuch brought some water over and placed it in front of him.

A moment later, words gradually appeared. When Xiao Zongxian saw the words clearly, his expression changed slightly, and with a cold snort, he handed it over to his father.

King Rong took the letter and read through it in a few breaths’ time. He then smiled coldly and asked the emperor, “Does His Majesty really believe in such a scheme?”

His Majesty the emperor turned around and said, “How can I not believe that all the words written in black and white are in royal uncle’s handwriting?”

“Can’t someone copy it?”

“Imitation? Even if it was an imitation, there was no way it could be so appropriate for the end of the stick, right? Does royal uncle know that news has been sent from the border? There is a huge invasion from the north and it is the same date as what is written on it? ”

“Your Majesty is insisting that This King is a traitor?” “The end of the section is even more interesting. If you’re deliberately framing and painstakingly imitating it, then naturally, you must reach the pinnacle.”

“Back then, you were able to rely on just one letter to determine that the Tutor Jiang was a traitor and wanted to kill everyone in his family.”

Back then, the case of the Tutor Jiang was decided by the late emperor, and this king had only acted according to his orders. Why?

“What happened in the past is already in the past. I no longer care about the Tutor Jiang case anymore, it’s just that today’s matter Uncle Huang will definitely give me an explanation. I don’t want to be muddled for a moment, to the point where I don’t even know who killed most of the people here.”

“Your Majesty’s words are harsh. You and I are both descendants of the Xiao family, and this king has put in great efforts for the Xiao family, so not only did His Majesty not trust this king, he even decided, just because of a secret letter, that this king wanted to make an enemy out of his country. This is truly hard for the people of the officials of the world to believe in.”

“Only one secret letter?”

His Majesty sneered and said, “Someone, bring him here.”

The door to the imperial study opened, and the leader of the imperial guards came in with a man in black. He threw him onto the ground and knelt down to kowtow. “Reporting to Your Majesty, the prisoners have been brought.”

His Majesty looked at the King Rong and said, “Royal Uncle, the assassin from the northern border has already been informed. He was the one who provided the map of the imperial palace and told him to assassinate me.

King Rong squinted as he looked at the emperor.

Xiao Zongxian looked at King Rong, then looked at the clothes the man was wearing, then lowered his head, his eyes flashing. He naturally knew about his father’s interactions, although he had been tortured to a bloody pulp, his face could still be clearly seen, no matter how much he looked down on his royal brother, Xiao Zongxian could not help but feel a sense of relief.

King Rong only glanced at him once before turning his head to give a cold snort to the emperor.

The emperor winked at the leader of the imperial guards.

The leader of the imperial guards pulled the man’s hair and said coldly, “You have to figure out who gave you the layout of the palace so that you could assassinate him. This is your only chance to live. ”

The man from Northern Frontier had been tortured to the point where he was on the verge of death. His body was covered in whip marks and blood, and there were white marks on his black clothes.

His fingers were badly mutilated to the point where his bones could be vaguely seen. His feet were bound by iron shackles and were being strangled into his flesh. The rotting flesh on his ankles had been separated and his bones were jangling.

King Rong said in a cold voice, “He is naturally saying what he wants to say! “His Majesty is the ruler, I am the servant. The ruler wants the subject to die, the subject has to die, why does His Majesty have to go through so much trouble?”

“Royal Uncle, why do you have to say this? Why don’t you listen to his confession and then argue?” Since royal uncle has a clear conscience, naturally, he’s not afraid of his nonsense. ”

“Confession. Will there be a second confession in the royal study today?”

The emperor sneered, “What does royal uncle mean by this? Do you suspect that I have an intention to frame you?”

“This official dares not!”

King Rong’s expectations were stiff, with a hint of sternness.

In the end, he was wrong. He only felt that this little emperor fought crickets every day and was addicted to their pleasures. However, he didn’t know that this wild cat would actually reveal its claws and try to grab them.

“Then let’s hear what this assassin has to say!”
