Chapter 223: Self-defeating

As soon as these words came out, the king and the prince were stunned at the same time, and the king's face was even more incredible, his eyes seemed to be frozen, his eyes were dark, and he stared at him sternly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a brief silence all around, and Gonggong Wan opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Seeing his father's stunned expression, the prince couldn't help but feel a little happy, and after a pause, his face became more and more mysterious, and then said: "Father, this matter is not trivial, if it wasn't for what Erchen saw with his own eyes yesterday morning, Erchen didn't expect that Brother Chen would have had an affair with that thief girl. I wanted to persuade him, but instead of listening, he became even more blatant......"

As he spoke, he helped the king into the palace and let Gonggong Wan stay outside the door. After entering the warm pavilion, the king reclined on the soft couch, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he wanted to close his eyes to recuperate, so the prince went to pour a cup of hot tea, put it on the corner of his father's table, and retreated.

The crown prince observed his words and looked at his father, and saw that his father seemed to be a little tired, so he couldn't help but swallow the words that he wanted to speak, and his voice was a little weaker, and he bowed his head and asked, "Father is a little tired?" It's not the right time for the son, or another day—"

"No, you go on." The king still closed his eyes slightly, with a serene face, his hands folded, leaning on the armrest on one side at will, as if listening to a story.

After receiving his father's permission, the prince immediately looked happy and nodded: "Yes." ”

He sighed and continued, "Actually, Erchen didn't want to disturb his father, but in recent years, hasn't my father wanted to canonize the prince and concubine for his younger brother? Brother Chen has been shirking and refusing, and everyone thinks that he is obsessed with martial arts and has no intention of having children. I didn't expect it...... But he hid from his father and had an affair with a people's daughter, he is also a prince anyway, how can he ...... with him"

At this point, he sighed again and shook his head.

"You just said that you saw with your own eyes that Chen'er and the girl were in the cell. Have you ever seen what they did? Father opened his eyes and looked at him quietly like a pool of stagnant water, his voice unhurried, but there was a majesty everywhere, "Tell me the truth." ”

This sentence was neither light nor heavy, but it made the prince inexplicably stunned, and his body stiffened a little. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Erchen...... After Erchen entered, he saw Brother Chen and the woman holding hands and saying some affectionate words, which showed concern in their words...... Nothing else. ”

After listening to him, the king let out a long "oh" and nodded slowly: "Then it seems that these two children do have a good relationship in private." ”

When the prince heard this, he did not know what his father meant, and he was neither angry nor astonished. He couldn't help but hang his head slightly, and at some point, his face was stained with a layer of worry, and he stopped talking.

"Ao'er." The king spoke again, and the prince hurriedly looked up and answered.

The king raised his eyes and looked at him, took the tea at the corner of the table with one hand, scratched the tea lid slightly, and his eyes fell on the tea, and said leisurely: "Now, you are the crown prince, and you presided over the government for a period of time a few days ago. Then I want to ask you, what do you think of this? ”

The father threw the question at himself, which the prince did not expect. However, it can also be concluded from this statement that the father seems to be paying more and more attention to himself, and he can't help but feel happy, frowning and pondering for a moment.

"Erchen thought that he should quickly order Brother Chen and the woman to cut off in two, don't break the thread again, and ...... You should seize the time to choose a prince and concubine for your brother, so that he can retract his mind and know that he has lost his way. ”

"Take back your mind and know your way back......," the king muttered, as if chewing on the eight words.

"Yes."

"You're right, it's time for me to mention this matter to Chen'er again. But what should the folk girl do? The king's hand holding the tea lid stopped, "She bewitched the prince, was disorganized, and not only did she not repent of stealing, but she also met Chen'er in private." I thought that it would be better to kill her for the sake of Chen'er to completely cut her off. ”

As soon as he heard this, the prince was immediately stunned, he never expected his father to make such a decision. Although he had no anger on his face, he actually moved his murderous intent, not only did he not spread his anger on Su Chen, but instead pointed the finger at Miss Guxi.

That wasn't what he intended!

The prince was anxious all of a sudden, his face turned pale, and he stammered, "Father...... Can the father think about it again, the son thinks that the girl Guxi is not guilty, right...... It was Brother Chen who went to provoke her first, although it was not a pity for this thief girl to die, but I asked my father not to overkill and kill innocents! ”

Before he could finish speaking, the king's face changed, and as soon as his arm was raised, the cup and the lid of the tea flew out and fell straight to the floor at the prince's feet, making a screeching sound. The hot tea splashed on the ground, splashing the prince's brocade robe, and the delicate tea bowl was torn apart, turning into hideous fragments on the ground.

The king raised his eyes and glared at him angrily, his lips were tightly closed, his gaze was like a sharp sword, which made people dare not meet him, his face was tense, and he did not say a word.

When the prince saw this, he was immediately frightened, his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground.

"You mean...... I don't distinguish between black and white, and I'm too mediocre? ”

"Erchen...... Erchen didn't mean that...... "The prince's voice trembled.

"Shouldn't that thief bewitch the prince be punished?" The king raised his eyebrows, got up from his seat, looked away from his head, and moved, "Since ancient times, anyone who has secretly had a personal affair with the princess and prince, except for the prince and noble, is a capital crime!" Since she has an affair with Chen'er, there are only two outcomes...... Ao'er, do you want to hear it? ”

The king's gaze returned to the crown prince's head, looking down at him condescendingly.

The prince was terrified in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything else, so he couldn't help but say, "I want to ......"

The king nodded, his expression soothed, and with his hands behind his back, he walked slowly to one side, but stopped after a few steps. With his back to the prince, he was silent for a long time, and the voice came from the faint front.

"She, either a capital crime, or she will be Chen'er's prince and concubine."

Hearing this, the prince thundered like five thunderbolts, and almost fainted.

"Yes, you're right." The king turned around, his face was completely gone, he stretched out his sleeves, and praised the prince, "Ao'er, I really shouldn't fight again, people are about to die, and it is not good to take people's lives in the end, but it will make me fall into the name of 'faint king', do you say?" Thanks to Ao'er's reminder, there is merit, merit. ”

As he spoke, he bent down to look at the prince, his hands on his knees, and a shallow smile in his wrinkles, "You say, what does my father mean?" ”

The prince raised his head in fear, met his father's gaze, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and nodded stiffly. At this moment, even if it is good not to annoy his father, how can he still disobey his father's will?

"Father's decision...... The best of both worlds, it's the best of both worlds......"

Outside the hall, Gonggong Wan stood silently, his expression was peaceful, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He raised his head, and saw that the sky was full of clouds and clouds, and geese were flying south, all beautiful and gorgeous......
