Chapter 437: The Storm Rises (9)
Cheng Si said, and took the queen mother's hand again, "Don't put everything on you, this matter is what I did with you, I am a man, I am your son, I have grown up, it is impossible to hide behind you anymore, I dare not bear it." β
His voice was very soft, but it revealed a firmness.
"Brother Huang, you also said just now that today's matter is between you and my brother, so please don't implicate other people. β
Cheng Si turned his head and looked at the Taifu on the side, Concubine Li and Bai Youshi, who had not spoken.
"They're all for me. β
"Hahahahahaha..... so far, you are all very humble. This one is his fault, and the other is his fault. However, I don't seem to have said who I would let go. β
Cheng Qing's voice was harsh, and Xia Qing, who listened to it, was shocked. If she thinks so, then isn't she also one of them? Will Cheng Qing let her go?
She cautiously looked in the direction of Cheng Si, Cheng Si was looking at Cheng Qing seriously, and the smile on her lips had long disappeared without a trace.
"Cheng Si, I knew why I had to do it today. Even for the sake of you, the queen mother, you shouldn't betray me. What I hate most is the betrayal of those close to me. You're my last brother........"
"Then put me to death. β
Cheng Si interrupted Cheng Qing's words.
His eyes were determined, not at all like a loser.
"I never thought that if I lost today, I would be able to walk out safely. But I thought about it, everyone here should be safe. β
"Cheng Si! What are you talking about! Cheng Qing, if you want to kill, kill this palace! You let Cheng Si ......."
"You're all too naΓ―ve, aren't you?
Cheng Qing's tone revealed a deep mockery, and Xia Qing could almost imagine the appearance of his handsome face with that mocking smile at this moment. It's really uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but clench her fists, and she didn't even have the heart to look at the ghost-faced general.
Anyway, she is also from Cheng Si's side, but now she has to watch them fall into Cheng Qing's hands, not knowing whether they are dead or alive.
Even if she joined them, it wasn't her intention, but since she joined, she should stand at the end and not quit halfway. Otherwise, she will look down on herself.
She looked back, and sure enough, she saw Mochen looking at her. With a gentle look that made her heart weak.
Here, what she is most sorry for should be Mochen. He repeatedly told her not to wade into this troubled water, but not only did she not listen, but she fell deeper and deeper, and until now, she can't easily pull it out.
"Imperial ........"
She was about to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Qing's words.
"Come on, take a few people here down, take them to the prison, and come to sunset. β
Xia Qing's eyes widened, he didn't expect Cheng Qing to make a decision so quickly. She thought that no matter which person's past feelings were recited, he should hesitate.
Here, after all, it is his mentor, father-in-law, adoptive mother, brother, wife, and prime minister's son.
All of them are not small, and it was a bit unexpected to make such a decision so easily.
But what made her feel strange was that this Cheng Qing had forgotten her.
She is also part of this plan, not to mention, even he said it himself just now, he already knew that she was also from Cheng Si, but until now, he didn't even look at her, as if he had really forgotten her.
"Your Majesty, about the ........ of the time"
The prime minister suddenly spoke, he stood up and saluted Cheng Qing.
"At the moment, he is just confused for a while, can you read it on the face of the old minister, let him go, and the old minister will definitely lock him up in the house in the future and prevent him from coming out to make trouble. β
Even if the father and son are incompatible, even if they don't like each other and want to kill each other's father and son, at the last moment, they will still make a move.
"Is the prime minister trying to save Bai Youshi?"
Cheng Qing turned around and looked at the prime minister. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"As far as I know, your two fathers and sons have been incompatible for a long time, and today I educate and educate this unfilial son for you, are you still distressed?"
"The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, the old minister has lost the meat of the palm, the meat on the back of the hand, even if it is not good, can no longer lose his mother....... is already washing his face with tears, the old minister is really not good to ........"
The prime minister didn't continue, just looked at Cheng Qing with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
In his life, he has never begged for such a person.
Even back then, when the first emperor almost raided his home, he never asked for mercy for himself.
But this time, for the sake of his son, he can't take care of this old face anymore. He's old, and he really can't bear to lose anything.
"Hahahaha, the prime minister is really interesting. β
Cheng Qing paused, and looked at Bai Youshi, who was standing not far away, with his head down.
"Baiyu, you should really be glad that you have such a good father. The prime minister has never asked anyone in his life, and it is my honor to ask me for you, and I want to give this face. β
He turned his head again and ordered to the ghost-faced general standing aside,
"Send Bai Yu out of the palace, and you are not allowed to enter the palace again in this life. β
"Thank you for your grace. β
The prime minister endured the sorrow in his heart and bowed to Cheng Qing.
"The prime minister is polite, you have worked hard in the country of wind for many years, and you have no credit and hard work, this face is not a face. β
Cheng Qing's words have to be said, which is very harsh.
Even Xia Qing, who didn't know much about government affairs, felt harsh.
Isn't Taifu conscientious?
He is also Cheng Qing's enlightenment teacher, his mentor in the first half of his life, and he has also worked hard for this Fengguo.
Now, he didn't even want to let Concubine Li go, he was determined to suppress the Taifu family.
Xia Qing trembled a little, maybe this was the royal family she had not understood at that time.
When it is prosperous, it can make your family soar, and when it is not prosperous, it will make the family fall to the bottom.
The higher you fly, the worse you fall.
Thinking of this, Xia Qing couldn't help but look at Concubine Li's expression.
She likes Cheng Qing so much that she almost didn't even want her own life for him. Now that she is being treated like this by Cheng Qing, the most painful person here should be her.
As expected, Concubine Li's expression was a little painful, but it was more tangled.
She looked at Cheng Qing with a deep sadness in her eyes.
How much she has to do it, Xia Qing can understand.
With her husband on one side and her father who raised her on the other, she doesn't seem to be right on either side.
In such a situation, she chose her father, which is understandable.
Xia Qing bit her lip, a little moved.
If she encounters such a scene, she should not choose her husband, this choice is too difficult.
"Your Majesty, concubine, you have something to say. β
