CHAPTER XIII

In the inner hall of the palace, Chu Yunxi ordered someone to move the glass up.

The surrounding ministers watched intently.

"Father, this was copied from the Xiao family's shop yesterday. Private salt, right in here. Chu Yunxi said.

Wei Guogong looked disdainful, "Just with the powerless maid beside His Highness, he also wants to break this piece of glass?" ”

King Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "If you don't dislike it, this king's entourage will borrow you for temporary use!" ”

"This king is not lonely enough to need the help of the royal brother." Chu Yunxi retorted coldly, and glanced at Chao Jinci.

Jin Ci nodded and put a piece of yellow glass into the water.

As the "glaze" melts, the water gradually turns yellow, and the so-called glaze gradually melts.

"Father, you can see clearly." Chu Yunxi pointed to the water that had changed color and said, "This so-called glass is pure salt at all!" ”

The little eunuch beside the emperor took two steps forward, checked the contents of the water, and nodded towards the emperor.

The emperor's eyes darkened, and the hand holding the chair tightened unconsciously, suppressing his anger: "Come on, take Xiao Qi and Xiao Yuan to the palace." ”

"Enlighten the Emperor." King Xing took a step forward, glanced at Chu Yunxi coldly, and said, "As far as Erchen knows, the owner of these shops is none other than King Jing. ”

"What, King Xing thinks that it is the Xiao family instructed by this king?" Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and looked at King Xing.

"As the old saying goes: abandon the car to protect the handsome." King Xing said word by word.

"King Xing is cautious!" Chu Yunxi said, "In front of your father, do you dare to say such things that don't talk about sibling affection?" ”

King Xing subconsciously glanced at the emperor, and when he saw the yin owl in his eyes, he couldn't help but panic and didn't say anything more.

"The shop is yours?" The emperor looked at Chu Yunxi.

"Enlighten the Emperor." Chu Yunxi replied, "No, these shops have already been decided by the queen mother and given to the king of Jin." ”

"Father, my son doesn't know." King Jin stepped forward and took the lead in speaking. Not to mention that this matter is not known to be true or false, even if it is true, it must not be admitted at this moment.

"Father, you might as well let the Xiao family explain this matter." Chu Yunxi said.

The emperor nodded, and when he looked at King Jin's eyes, there was an extra layer of doubt.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao is already outside." The eunuch whispered in the emperor's ear.

"Let them in." The Emperor slapped the stool beside him hard.

"Emperor, Emperor, please forgive your sins." As soon as Xiao Yuan entered the main hall, he knelt directly in front of the emperor, not even daring to raise his head.

"The emperor forgives the sin, this matter, the Xiao family is also a last resort." Xiao Qi also knelt in front of the emperor in fear.

"Why not?" The Emperor asked.

Xiao Qi quietly glanced at King Jin, but at the moment when his eyes met, he was avoided by King Jin.

Good you King Jin, you are unkind and unjust!

"Your Majesty," Xiao Qi said, stretching out his hand and pointing at King Jin, "This matter is the Weichen family instructed by King Jin." ”

"Nonsense!" King Jin retorted and immediately knelt in front of the emperor, "Father, don't listen to their nonsense, your son is wronged!" ”

"King Jin!" Xiao Qi threw the scroll in his arms on the ground as if he had let go, "This is evidence that you threatened me!" ”

Before King Jin could let people pick up the scroll, Chu Yunxi had already taken the lead in picking up the scroll on the ground: "On April 12, the Xiao family seized ten carts of illegal salt. ”

"King Jin once asked his father to do a private salt business, but his father refused." Xiao Qi lowered his head and hid the ruthlessness in his eyes, "Unexpectedly, the next day, Weichen's house was found to be illicit." King Jin promised Weichen that he would suppress this matter, and the price was to ask Weichen to secretly do private salt business for him. ”

"Father, son-in-law is wronged!" The haze in King Jin's eyes flashed and disappeared, the Xiao family was just a useless chess piece in his hand, and he actually dared to turn back at such a time, "It must be the Xiao family who wants to get rid of the crime, so they are wronged!" ”

"King Jin's words are really a joke." King Xing sneered and said, "There are so many people present, why didn't they wronged others and picked you?" ”

"Father, son......" King Jin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor sharply.

"Shut up!" The Emperor shouted, "Don't you really know about your little moves? ”

"Father, father, ......" King Jin looked at the emperor's angry expression, King Jin didn't dare to say more, he could only lower his head, but the hand on his side clenched his fist tightly.

"You meet with the Xiao family a few times a month, don't you know anything?" The emperor said, the anger on his face even stronger, "I have been waiting for you to explain, but you are so quibbling!" Look at what you look like now, who is worthy of being a prince! ”

"Father, Father forgives sins." King Jin kowtowed a few times, not daring to say anything else, and the yin owl under his eyes became deeper and deeper. This matter, he won't end it like this, the Xiao family, if you dare to bite him, he will make this group of people pay the price.

Looking at King Jin's enduring anger, a burst of happiness flashed in Chu Yunxi's heart. That's the way it is, the grievances and sufferings she suffered in the previous life, let King Jin experience it in this life.

King Xing stood to the side, taking in the expressions of the two. It was clear in my heart that King Jing and King Jin seemed to have been centrifugal.

"Please also ask my father to punish him severely, and the matter of private salt must not be tolerated!" King Xing stood up and said a word, looking at Chu Yunxi with cold eyes, wanting to see how she made a decision.

"What do you mean?" The emperor cast his gaze on Chu Yunxi.

"It's all up to my father." Chu Yunxi pursed her lips and said.

"King Jin, grounded in the palace for three months." The emperor said coldly, "Xiao Yuan, go to the heavenly prison." Xiao Qi, deprived of his official position, will never be allowed to enter the court as an official. Xiao family, raid the house! ”

"Thank you, Father." King Jin kowtowed, looked at Chu Yunxi and King Xing's eyes, and carried hatred. Today's things, sooner or later, he will repay a hundredfold.

"The emperor is gracious, ask the emperor to be gracious." The father and son of the Xiao family kowtowed a few times.

Immediately thinking of something, Xiao Qi said to Chu Yunxi: "King Jing, please also ask King Jing to plead with the emperor for many years." ”

"Love?" Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and sneered, "This king and you have already broken off!" With that, he turned around and stopped looking at Xiao Qi.

Walking out of the main hall alone, obviously having made those who framed her pay the price, Chu Yunxi's heart, somehow, suddenly gave birth to a burst of emptiness.

Under the scorching sun, a red oil-paper umbrella is particularly eye-catching.

"Your Highness." Feng Lan came slowly, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and she smiled, full of gentleness, "Let's go home." ”

"Okay, let's go home."
