Chapter 650: Rebel Son
Xiao Xu's mind was buzzing, and he could barely hear what Li Defang said again, and the faces around him, who might be surprised or gloated, were also distorted in his sight, becoming a grimace.
"Impossible! She didn't kill Princess Cai at all! There was another person who killed Princess Cai, how could the emperor end the case so indiscriminately and punish her in this way! ”
It is extremely rare for Xiao Xu to be so excited, and he will not be emotional in front of outsiders to say such things that are suspected of slandering the emperor.
His excitement made Prince Gong frown, and he turned around and reprimanded, "Evil obstacles, the emperor Shengming, since he has made a decision, that is, if the Chu family really has this matter, will the emperor still wronged people?" ”
"Father!" Xiao Xu's eyes were bloodshot, and the blue tendons on his forehead were bursting out, "You also know that the Chu family was wronged, you were in charge of her before, but now you ......"
"Now that the emperor has found out everything, can the emperor's golden words be fake? Don't dwell on it anymore! ”
Prince Gong sank his face and reprimanded sternly, "As a prince, you must have the consciousness of being a prince, since the Chu family has committed a crime, the emperor has extrajudicial grace to allow the Chu family to give birth to the child safely, you should be grateful." Why are you so angry now, is it true that all these years of this king's teaching to you have been in vain? ”
Xiao Xu looked at Prince Gong, his eyes were red and almost dripping blood: "Father also thinks that the Chu family should be allowed to carry this black cauldron?" ”
"What kind of black cauldron, how could the emperor arbitrarily decide the case? Human life is at stake, and the emperor has naturally found out everything. Prince Gong's voice was angry.
Although Princess Zhang didn't want a big incident at home, Prince Gong's attitude was clear, so she also followed the words and said: "Shizi, let me say something that I don't like, the Chu family is too arrogant and domineering, things don't go her way, she stares at her two eyes and scolds, during the days when she is a housekeeper, from the master to the next person in the family, there is no one who does not complain about her meanness behind her back." ”
Xiao Yuncheng on the side also whispered: "Princess Cai was a little harsh with her, and she offended her between words, so she did it decisively, did she do it right?" ”
Xiao Xu looked at Prince Gong, Princess Zhang and the others in silence, as if someone had dug it out and thrown it into the ice cave, and it was cold thoroughly.
He shouldn't be disappointed, who in this family has ever really cared about his life or death? Everyone is just for their own interests, these people don't even care about him, how can they care about his wife?
"The Chu family's fetus is unstable, these days she has been raising the fetus with peace of mind, and she has never left people's sight at all, whether she has left everyone to do such things in private, the people around the Chu family and the palace guards can testify." Xiao Xu looked at Li Defang and said, "The emperor has never investigated carefully, and I have never seen the emperor order someone to carefully check the human and physical evidence, how can I conclude that the Chu family is the murderer of Princess Cai?" ”
Li De was embarrassed.
In fact, even he, a eunuch, felt that there was something strange in Chu Junlan's case, especially since the emperor had been pressing down the matter of the six princes abusing and killing the injured and sick, and the relationship between them could be roughly distinguished if you thought about it carefully.
But what can he do if he is just a eunuch who preaches orders?
Li Defang's face turned red, and he said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, you see that you are really joking, the emperor has decided the case, naturally there is the emperor's consideration, to say something that is not good, as a courtier, don't you have to follow the emperor's wishes?" ”
"What Gonggong Li said is reasonable." Prince Gong also walked forward with his hands in his hands, stretched out his iron arm, and clasped Xiao Xu's shoulder with his big palm, holding Xiao Xu down like a solid iron rope, for fear that he would do something impulsive.
Li Defang was also frightened by Xiao Xu's hideous face and took two steps back.
At this time, Xiao Xu was like an angry beast, his red eyes could tear people to pieces at any time.
Princess Zhang, Xiao Yuncheng and others also retreated a little, for fear that Xiao Xu would go crazy and treat them as enemies.
Xiao Xu clenched his fists, looked at Prince Gong and asked again, "Father, don't you know that she was wronged?" ”
"Xiao Xu!" Prince Gong was furious and said fiercely: "Don't forget, you are the emperor's courtier first, and then Chu Junlan's husband!" Don't you know what's most important? ”
Prince Gong took Xiao Xu's hand and dragged him to the corner, first greeted Li Defang with a smile on his face, and then lowered his voice and reprimanded:
"Wake up! Now that the palace is easy to get rid of the crime, it shouldn't do anything to anger the emperor anymore, Chu Junlan is indeed wronged, but so what? Everyone knows that no matter whether the dragon robe is found is true or not, as long as the emperor has the heart to punish Prince Gong's mansion now, he can immediately attack the palace. ”
Xiao Xu pursed his lips and looked up at Prince Gong, as if he couldn't believe that he would say such a thing.
Seeing his inexplicable expression, Prince Gong continued: "Now that the emperor has to let go of our Prince Gong's mansion in order to suppress the matter of the six princes, and also to take care of the royal face, the price is to ask the palace to sacrifice a small Chu family, a Chu family, in exchange for the peace of our whole family, what's not cost-effective?" If you like a woman of this temperament, your father will find a suitable one for you in the future, and with your qualifications, you will be either rich or expensive in the future, what kind of woman will you not get? ”
After closing his eyes, Xiao Xu's face was pale, and his expression had faded away from the hideousness of Fang Cai, and became calm.
He was wrong, he really shouldn't have treated this family as human beings, they are all a bunch of selfish guys who only think about themselves, and will even sacrifice innocent lives for their own safety.
The Tao is not the same, and no matter how wasteful the tongue is, it is just self-deprecation and boring.
Seeing that Xiao Xu finally calmed down, Prince Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Xu's temperament was strong, as long as he didn't do anything out of the ordinary in front of Emperor Jinghong's eyes, everything after that would be well arranged.
Li Defang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Xu was appeased by Prince Gong, and politely said goodbye to Prince Gong, Princess Zhang and others, and left the palace quickly.
Xiao Xu stood in place like a javelin, watching Prince Gong and Princess Zhang and the others talk and laugh in a relaxed mood and turned to leave, and said coldly: "Stop." ”
The sudden low reprimand made everyone who turned around and left stop.
"What, what else do you have to say?" Prince Gong turned his head with a calm face, and the mockery in his words was unconcealed.
Xiao Xu's face was already as white as cold frost, and against the backdrop of the sable fur collar on his shoulder, he became more and more handsome and deceitful: "You will build your peace on the sacrifice of the Chu family, so that you can live with peace of mind?" ”
Prince Gong's face darkened, and his fists gradually clenched.
"And what else do you want?" Princess Zhang saw that the prince's face was not good, and immediately stood up, "The Chu family is guilty, that was determined by the emperor, and it was not our case, you are here to embarrass your father and the king, is it right?" ”
Xiao Xu didn't even give Princess Zhang a straight look, so he only stared at Prince Gong: "If you do this, don't blame me for being unsympathetic." ”
Prince Gong snorted, extremely annoyed by Xiao Xu's words, strode in front of him, and stretched out his fan-like palm to take Xiao Xu's wrist: "Don't you want to go out and make trouble again, from today on, you will stay in the mansion for me!" ”
But Prince Gong's hand was shaken off by Xiao Xu.
A person who has been trained on the battlefield, thinks that his martial arts are not weak, and his fingers are as strong as iron tongs, but now he is like a useless child in front of Xiao Xu.
Prince Gong's face was shocked and said in disbelief: "You ......"
Xiao Xu's eyes were indifferent, and his voice was cold: "Do you want to continue to influence my behavior?" Or when I was the child who couldn't live without your palace? ”
Hearing that there seemed to be a knife in his words, Prince Gong's face changed drastically.
Princess Zhang was overjoyed, lowered her face, stretched her wide sleeves and pointed at the people around her: "Shizi, you are the eldest son of the prince, and now your brothers are also here, is this how you can set an example as a brother?" ”
Xiao Xu hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he sneered coldly: "It's not good for me to set an example, why don't you let Xiao Yunpeng stand up and let him set an example?" ”
"You! You're just ......."
These words were simply murderous, Princess Zhang's eyes were round, and she looked at Xiao Xu as if she was looking at a stranger.
Xiao Xu turned around and walked in the direction of Linlang Garden, leaving his emotionless voice: "You can sacrifice her for the sake of the good life now, heh, I want to see how far your good life can be." ”
"What do you want to do! You rebel! Prince Gong strode towards Xiao Xu and swung his fist at the back of his head.
Xiao Xu seemed to have eyes behind his back, slightly quickened his pace and dodged sideways, and without looking back, he turned his hand and grabbed Prince Gong's wrist, and pressed down between the flying sleeves of his robe.
Prince Gong could only turn around with his strength, and covered his sore shoulder with the other hand: "It's the opposite, you're going to be the opposite!" Do you also want to be accused of rebellion, you want to murder your own father! ”
"Murder of my own father?" Xiao Xu let go of his hand and said in a flat voice, "It doesn't matter, then let me go and cut off my head together." ”
With that, he turned and left, leaving only a dashing back.
Prince Gong's right arm could barely be raised, staring at Xiao Xu's back with a dark face, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Xiao Xu's actions today made him feel extremely unfamiliar, as if he had changed people. If Xiao Xu did something unpredictable because of Chu Junlan's affairs......
"Lord Wang, are you okay?" Princess Zhang held Prince Gong's arm, and his words of concern interrupted his thoughts.
Prince Gong shook his head: "It's okay." ”
Princess Zhang frowned at the direction Xiao Xu left and said, "Lord, what's wrong with this world now, how can you get the opportunity to act like this?" Wasn't he confused by what kind of demon method the Chu clan used? ”
The prince's son is naturally good, and Princess Zhang speaks in a measured manner, so she won't say that Xiao Xu is not good.
Prince Gong frowned with a headache, and returned to the front hall without saying a word, seeing that he was silent, the rest of the people were silent and did not dare to say more.
Who knew that at this moment, suddenly a small man with a horse shed rushed to the front yard, and replied to Shi Maoquan, the head of the palace, with an anxious face: "Oh no, the prince just rode a horse and rushed to the direction of the palace with great momentum!" ”
