Chapter 620: Unexpected (Three Watches)
After he returned yesterday, he learned in detail about what had happened, and he already knew that the captain of his personal guard had been arrested on the spot, and he had wanted to send someone to the prison to kill him, and he had faked the illusion of committing suicide in fear of crime, but he was under special guard, and no one could get close to him.
"Father, this time I did send someone, but I didn't want to poison and kill the seventh brother, I ...... I'm ......."
"It's neat when you do these things, why do you cringe when it's your turn to confess?"
Bai Bai Hao swallowed, all he could do now was to mitigate his faults as much as possible.
"Father, Cheng's original intention was to poison Wu Lingji, but he didn't expect to poison the seventh brother by mistake, and the son really didn't mean to poison the seventh brother. ”
"As the tutor of the Royal Academy, do you think you can easily settle this matter?"
"Erchen didn't dare. ”
"Besides, how do you prove that the person you want to kill is not your seventh brother? The poison was found on the body of the captain of your personal guard, and the person who was poisoned was your seventh brother, do you really think that you can clear your own suspicion by finding a random person to be a substitute for the dead ghost?"
"Erchen really didn't dare to do this. ”
"Don't dare? ”
"I ......" Bai Hao's legs trembled with fright.
The father rarely punished these children on a daily basis, but the premise was that they did not touch the bottom line, and it was obvious that he had touched this bottom line now, and it was completely unknown what kind of anger he would endure.
"My father and son knew that I was wrong. ”
"Some things can't be undone by knowing your mistakes, this time fortunately, your seventh brother is fine, if he is really poisoned and died, you can save his life with a word of mistake?"
"Erchen didn't dare anymore, and begged his father to spare Erchen this time. ”
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you will never know where you are wrong, as a prince lawless, don't think I know anything about what you have done over the years, let you trust you, I hope that one day you can wake up and do what you should do as a prince, but my trust in you is only disappointed in the end. ”
"My father and sons really know that they are wrong, and my sons will never live up to their father's expectations in the future. During the day, Hao burst into tears, feeling that he was really finished, and his father was going to take his own actions.
"My father and sons have something to say. ”
Bai Bai Ling finally spoke.
"Say whatever you want. The daytime dragon turned her gaze to him.
"Although I was poisoned this time, I can prove for my second brother that it was not me who poisoned and killed him this time. ”
"Oh?"
"The poisoned drink was actually in Mai Lingji's cup, but I drank the drink in her cup, and that's why I got poisoned. ”
"Then why didn't Wu Lingji be poisoned, but you were poisoned?"
"She had antidote on her and I didn't, so I was poisoned. During the day, Ling spread his hands, calm and slightly indifferent.
"Seventh brother, thank you. ”
Bai Bai Hao never thought that Bai Bai Ling would actually speak for himself at this time.
"I'm just talking about things, you and I are brothers and have quarrels, it's just a normal thing, I don't think you and I will want to put each other to death for these quarrels, right, second brother?"
"Of course, of course, I never wanted to kill you. Bai Baihao nodded again and again, for fear that his father would suspect that he was hesitant if he said it slowly.
"And father, I think I have something to do with this matter, and it can even be said that it is because of my cause that caused such a result. ”
Bai Bai Ling said: "I don't know that the second brother has been pursuing Wu Lingji for three years, and I fell in love with Wu Lingji at first sight and robbed the second brother of the woman regardless of brotherhood, although people have never had feelings for the second brother, and they will not be with him, but after all, this is the second brother's favorite woman, and I did it because I was at fault first." ”
"If I hadn't annoyed the second brother, presumably the second brother wouldn't have done these outrageous things, so if the second brother is at fault, then I am also at fault, at least this matter is not the fault of the second brother alone. ”
During the day, Hao thought that his ears had heard wrong.
There was not even a moment when he thought that Bai Ling would intercede for him like this in front of his father.
Bai Bai Long leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, and looked at the two of them without saying a word.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"Since Tian Ling personally interceded for you, he also proved that you did not take the initiative to harm him, and your charge of murdering your own brother can be eliminated, but the fact that you tried to poison the tutor of the Royal Academy is a fact, no matter who pleads, it is useless. ”
"The retainers are willing to be punished. ”
Bai Bai Hao pleaded guilty without saying a word, compared to the crime of murdering his own brother, which may cost him his life, the murder of the tutor of the Royal Academy is relatively much lighter.
"Tian Ling, you are the ultimate victim of this matter, what kind of punishment do you want your second brother to receive?" Bai Bai Long turned his words and looked at Bai Ling meaningfully.
"After all, this matter is because of me, and I am half responsible for the mistakes made by the second brother, I only hope that the second brother will never harass Wu Lingji in the future, if the father must want to punish the second brother, I think the rod will be punished for three hundred, and then let the second brother think about it behind closed doors for half a year. ”
"Seventh brother, don't worry, I now know that Wu Lingji is not interesting to me at all, I will never harass her again in the future, let alone harass the seventh brother because of her, I hope you will be happy for a hundred years and give birth to a noble son as soon as possible." Bai Bai Hao was so moved that tears were about to fall.
"Since you, the victim, are willing to be so lenient and generous, then I will do as you wish. ”
"Bai Hao,"
"Erchen is here!"
"I order you to return to the palace immediately to receive three hundred rods, and you are not allowed to leave Haoran Palace for half a year. ”
"The son is willing to be punished, thank you for your father's extrajudicial kindness, and thank you for the generosity of the seventh brother. ”
Bai Bai Hao was grateful, got up and saluted, and took the punishment himself.
For a nine-rank star venerable like him, it was only symbolic, and there was no real meaning of punishment.
He knew he had escaped.
And it was completely Ling Nian's help in brotherhood during the day, if it weren't for him, what kind of punishment he would have received today is unknown.
"Father, then I'll go back too. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
Bai Bailong stopped him and asked meaningfully: "Whether he wants to harm you or the woman you like, it is a kind of harm to you, and you can teach him a greater lesson, this father is on your side, why do you want to help him intercede?"
"Anyway, he is my second brother after all, not an enemy, it is better to be able to turn a war into a jade silk, it is better than becoming low for each other, not to mention the second brother is really heavily punished, and the second queen mother will be very sad and sad, I don't want the queen mother to have a dislike because of these things, and the harem dispute is afraid that the father and the emperor will not be able to deal with the war with peace of mind. Bai Bai Ling said calmly.
Bai Bai Long sighed with relief.
"If your second brother had half of your bearing and mind, this kind of thing would not have happened, and I would not be so disappointed in him. ”
