87_87886Huo Jingchen's silence made everyone aware of the cat.

If he was really being calculated, how could he not defend himself?

Unless...... There are more important things that he can't let outsiders know about when he goes to Xishan.

Emperor Zhengde squinted his eyes, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, what did this third son hide and dare not tell anyone?

"The Third ......"

"Third brother, forget it now, you don't have to take care of my face and carry everything down."

Just as Emperor Zhengde was about to get angry, Huo Jingyun, the fifth prince who had been standing behind, suddenly spoke up, and he walked out in a few steps.

"Fifth brother......" Huo Jingchen was stunned.

"Third brother, you don't need you to hide my affairs for me, one person does the work and one person does it."

Huo Jingyun seemed to have made up his mind, his legs bent and knelt heavily on the top of the hall, his head tilted and his neck was raised, and he said with shame on his face: "Father, eldest brother, you don't have to ask the third brother, the reason why he went to Xishan is for me, the reason why he doesn't want to sue you is also for me, I did something wrong, and the third brother went to Xishan at this time in order to clean up the aftermath for me." ”

"Aftermath for you?" Emperor Zhengde and the eldest prince were stunned at the same time.

Huo Jingyun gritted his teeth, "It's all Erchen's bad, Erchen went to Xishan to hunt for more than a month, but he didn't want to get lost in the mountains, and then he met a hunter, and Erchen stayed in the hunter's house for a night......"

Speaking of this, Huo Jingyun paused, looked at Huo Jingchen's bloody eyes flashing unbearably, and continued to say loudly as if he had let go: "It was Erchen who was confused for a while, and drank wine that night and caught the way of the daughter of the Orion family, and the woman...... A few days ago, the woman found the capital, clamoring to enter the house, how could the son let a woman who came from an unknown place and had calculated his own to enter the house, this matter happened to be known by the third brother, he was afraid that after the woman's matter was known by the father, the father would punish the son, so he gave the silver to send the woman back to Xishan, and wanted to send their family out of the suburbs of Beijing, the son did not know why the third brother suddenly stayed in Puji Temple, but last night's incident must have been framed by someone taking the opportunity, the third brother He is by no means that kind of person! ”

"Fifth brother!"

Huo Jingchen stayed where he was, looking at Huo Jingyun in disbelief.

He never thought that when the eldest prince fell into the well and the other brothers stood by and gloated, Huo Jingyun, who had always had nothing to do with him, would not hesitate to self-destruct to relieve him, and he wanted to speak when he opened his mouth.

Huo Jingyun glared at Huo Jingchen and stopped what Huo Jingchen wanted to say, and said loudly: "Third brother, it's me who is wrong, I know that you are afraid that I will be punished by my father, but I don't want you to suffer for me because of this, so that my father can misunderstand." Father, the cause of this qiē is all for me, please punish your sons, forgive the third brother, and thoroughly investigate the person who framed the third brother! ”

Emperor Zhengde looked at Huo Jingyun, his eyes stayed on his face that was extremely similar to his own, wanting to see the truth from the fake.

Huo Jingyun was afraid in his heart, but he clenched his palms and looked back at his father without looking sideways, no one knew that his body under his wide robe was already trembling faintly, and his thighs were even a little soft, but he had to hold on.

Ming Jiufang said that he must hold on to this level no matter what, once he shows the slightest bit of cowardice, not only will he not be able to help the third prince, but he will even get into it.

Everyone was stunned by Huo Jingyun's demeanor, including Huo Jingling.

He looked at Huo Jingyun deadly, and couldn't figure out why the always obedient fifth child suddenly ran out to relieve the third child, wasting a great opportunity!

"Fifth brother, do you know what you said, the third brother's affairs are handled by the father and the emperor, why should you ......?"

"Big brother, you don't need to say much, my fault is my fault, and I don't need the third brother to fight for me!"

Huo Jingling's advice before he could say it was blocked by Huo Jingyun's words, and he vomited blood in anger.

Huo Jingchen took a deep look at Huo Jingyun, and a softness somewhere in his heart was hit, and a few traces of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, and then kowtowed to the ground again, "Father, the fifth brother is also confused for a while before he fell into someone else's way, Erchen should have taken this as a vigilance, but he didn't want to delay too much time in Xishan and had to stay in Puji Temple, it was Erchen's own stupidity that fell into other people's calculations, and it has nothing to do with the fifth brother, beg my father not to blame the fifth brother, and the son is willing to bear the blame!" ”

Huo Jingchen kowtowed his head a few times, but each time he fell into place, the injury on his forehead was even more serious, and the blood-stained ground began to redden.

Seeing this, Huo Jingyun hurriedly dragged Huo Jingchen and said loudly: "No, father, this qiē has nothing to do with the third brother, this matter is all because of me, and if you want to punish you, you will also be punished by your sons, and I ask my father to forgive the third brother......"

"Enough!"

Emperor Zhengde looked at the two sons below competing for responsibility, and shouted angrily.

Huo Jingyun and the two were silent together.

"You think that's a good thing? are still rushing to come, do you want everyone to know about the bad things you two brothers have done?! ”

Huo Jingyun pursed his lips and looked at Emperor Zhengde with a stubborn face, "Father, Emperor ......"

Emperor Zhengde's eyes flashed, and he said with a calm face: "Okay, today's matter is still unknown, and I will settle accounts with the two of you after it is clarified, the third child, although you are trying to hide it for the fifth child, but if you do something wrong, you will be punished for thinking about it behind closed doors at home for half a month, and you will be fined for one year!" ”

"Thank you, Father."

Huo Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and looked at Huo Jingyun worriedly.

Emperor Zhengde turned to Huo Jingyun and scolded: "Old Five, if you don't cultivate your personal virtues, you not only lose the royal face, but also affect your third brother, come here, drag the fifth prince down and scold me for thirty, and beat me outside, so that he can have a long memory!" ”

"Father!"

Huo Jingchen hurriedly wanted to intercede, but Huo Jingyun pulled his arm, kowtowed heavily one step ahead of him, and said loudly: "Thank you for your father's punishment!" ”

The guards took Huo Jingyun down, and after a while, there was a crackling sound of sticks outside, and there was a faint muffled snort of Huo Jingyun when he was tortured.

A strange look flashed in Emperor Zhengde's eyes.

Huo Jingyun was scolded with a cane, and he was carried back by the people in the mansion in blood, Huo Jingchen was also injured, and there was a hole in his forehead, but he lightly exposed the things that would have made him severely responsible, but he was punished in the mansion for thinking about it and spending half a year.

The eldest prince, Huo Jingling, withdrew from the imperial study with a gloomy face, while the rest of the princes followed, but they were still in a dream, or thoughtful.

Today's events are too unexpected for them, they know better than anyone else about their father's temperament, he is the most famous, if something like Huo Jingchen happened in the past, he would definitely be punished heavily, and it was even possible to be removed from the jade butterfly yellow belt, but today he was lightly exposed, although Huo Jingyun was finally punished with thirty sticks for this, but compared to the normal punishment, this is simply not worth mentioning.

After everyone left, they hurried back to their homes, and they urgently needed someone to discuss today's affairs.

After everyone left, Emperor Zhengde suddenly said in a loud voice: "Chen Yuan, do you say that these sons are really stupid?" ”

Chen Yuan, the chief eunuch who had been standing beside him with his head half-hanging, trembled in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and several princes are all talented and intelligent, so why do you say stupidly......"

"Come on, they have a few pounds and a few taels, I know in my heart that the third child was indeed framed this time, the eldest came out and fell into the well, and it is not surprising that those sons stood by and watched me, but the fifth child did not hesitate to let himself be tarnished to relieve the siege for the third child, which was really unexpected by me."

"What does His Majesty mean is that what the Five Princes said is false?"

Emperor Zhengde smiled coldly, "There are so many coincidences in the world, the fifth child is obedient, but he is not a fool, how can he be calculated by the daughter of the Orion family so easily, if there is such a thing, then the woman will be sent back by the third child in which round, I am afraid that she will have lost her life a long time ago, the fifth child will not let himself leave a handle outside, he is not such a stupid person." ”

Chen Yuan has followed Emperor Zhengde for more than 20 years, and has already become a human spirit, how can he not understand what Emperor Zhengde can see, he is like a mirror in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to know nothing, and quickly pretended to be surprised and asked: "In this case, why do the five princes want to be like this, it can leave a stain on him in vain." ”

Emperor Zhengde suddenly laughed when he heard this, and there was a rare warmth in his eyes, "If he doesn't say so, how can he intercede for the third child?" This old fifth has suddenly opened up this year......"

Chen Yuan was silent, he heard the suspicion in Emperor Zhengde's words, but he knew when he should remain silent.

After a long time, Emperor Zhengde said to Chen Yuan beside him: "Send someone to send two bottles of Snow Lotus Paste to the Old Five Mansions, and then pass on the decree to the Ministry of Rites, and this year's sacrifice to the heavens will be handled by the eldest prince, and the second prince will be the assistant." ”
