Chapter 196
"Father, what did you say?"
Xuanyuan Chen's expression went from shock to stunned at the beginning, he never thought that the emperor would think that he was calculating his imperial brother.
"You know what I said in your heart," the emperor looked at Xuanyuan Chen coldly, "Do you still need me to make it clear?" ”
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Chen thought that he had not done anything inappropriate, "Erchen doesn't understand what his father is talking about!" ”
"I'm still pretending to be stupid!" The emperor said, "The reason why you are so concerned about the ink corruption case in Lingnan is not that you think that Lao Wu has been to Lingnan two years ago, and you think this is a good time to bring him down!" Seventh, your ambitions are too great. ”
"Father, heaven and earth can be learned, and the sons and daughters definitely don't have such thoughts!" Xuanyuan Chen pointed to the sky and swore an oath, "Erchen really just saw that the suffering of the people in Lingnan was too tragic, so he wanted to help pull a hand." ”
"Enough!" The emperor interrupted Xuanyuan Chen's words, "I don't want to listen to your quibbles. ”
"The Lingnan ink corruption case, I will find someone to deal with it. You don't have to worry about it. ”
"You have been back to the palace for two years now," the emperor ordered, "without my will, you must not take a step out of the Yan Palace." ”
"Father's ——!" Xuanyuan Chen looked at the emperor in fear, "Erchen really didn't calculate the fifth brother, the Lingnan officials' corruption of ink, Erchen didn't know that the Lingnan officials' corruption of ink was related to the fifth brother." ”
"No?" The emperor smashed the inkstone on the table.
Xuanyuan Chen's luck was not as good as Xuanyuan Yi's, and the inkstone smashed into his forehead, and then fell in front of him.
Xuanyuan Chen was smashed dizzy, and his forehead immediately swollen with a big bag.
"My people, I found a lot of evidence to correct your fifth brother in the Yan Wangfu last night, and you dare to say no!"
The emperor suddenly took out a stack of paper and threw it on Xuanyuan Chen's body.
Xuanyuan Chen picked up the fallen paper and opened it, "Father, these sons have never seen it, how can it be in the sons of the ministers' mansion." ”
"You mean, my people deceived me?"
The emperor had empty eyes and a serious expression, and Xuanyuan Chen didn't know if he believed his words. "Father, the son doesn't mean that. But these things, Erchen really haven't seen them. ”
"It's absolutely impossible for them to deceive me." The emperor opened his thin lips lightly, but every word was loud.
"Father, don't you believe in your son?" Xuanyuan Chen looked at the emperor with some injury.
"I only believe in the evidence!"
Xuanyuan Chen lowered his eyes, "You didn't believe in your mother before, and now you don't believe in your son..."
"That's it, it's useless to talk too much, and the sons are willing to be punished."
Xuanyuan Chen kowtowed to the emperor twice, and there was a bloodshot in the place where he was smashed by the inkstone just now, "Erchen retreats." ”
The emperor watched Xuanyuan Chen leave expressionlessly, even if his back looked particularly lonely, the emperor was indifferent.
In his opinion, Xuanyuan Chen's framing of the imperial brother, such a serious crime, just punishing him to be grounded for two years is already a very gracious thing.
However, that stinky boy still didn't appreciate it.
After Xuanyuan Chen came out of the upper study, he saw Xuanyuan Yi, who came out one step earlier, standing and looking not far away.
He followed Xuanyuan Yi's gaze, but he didn't see anyone.
"Fourth brother, what are you looking at?"
Xuanyuan Yi came back to his senses, "It's nothing. ”
He saw the lump on Xuanyuan Chen's forehead, and the shoulder that was smashed by the ruler just now also felt a faint pain.
"Seventh brother, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Xuanyuan Yi kept his mind, the most important thing at the moment was to find out the people sent by his father to keep an eye on him.
The corners of Xuanyuan Chen's mouth curved, and the fourth brother didn't even look at his jokes, which was strange.
At this moment, Fang Siqi was led over by the palace people.
Looking at the direction Fang Siqi came from, Xuanyuan Chen was stunned.
The fourth brother was looking at the house just now?
Why?
Could it be that the married woman that the fourth brother is pestering with is Fang Siqi?
Thinking of his father's expression today, Xuanyuan Chen's eyes became dark.
He just wanted to call Fang Siqi out loud, but Fang Siqi shook his head at him slightly, pretended to be unfamiliar, made a casual salute when he passed in front of him, and then entered the upper study.
Xuanyuan Chen watched Fang Siqi enter the upper study, and his mood became more and more heavy.
He once promised Shen Zhongchen that he would take care of Fang Siqi for him.
Now, I'm afraid I'm going to break my word.
"Siqi and the emperor say goodbye, the emperor is blessed."
The emperor sat on the top, his face was quite kind, "Siqi is here, get up." ”
"Your Majesty."
Fang Siqi stood up, his back straight.
"Miss Siqi, do you know the purpose of my summoning you today?"
After the emperor looked at Fang Siqi twice, he asked.
"Your Majesty, the women don't know." Fang Siqi shook his head.
"I don't know?" The corners of the emperor's mouth curved, "Siqi girl, you are so smart, and you often follow the former queen, don't you have a clue?" ”
"The women of the people are stupid." Fang Siqi lowered his head and responded.
"Stupid?" The emperor was noncommittal.
"Otherwise," the emperor proposed, "the king will give you a chance to guess, and if you guess correctly, I will grant you a condition." ”
"What if you're wrong?" Fang Siqi asked.
"You're so sure, can't you guess?"
The emperor smiled, "If you can't guess, it's naturally -"
The emperor's words did not speak, but everyone knew his voice.
If you can't guess, it's death.
"Your Majesty, the dragon's heart is unpredictable, and the women don't know." Fang Siqi responded calmly.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you resist?" ”
"Your Majesty, the king wants the women to die, and the women have to die." Fang Siqi responded, "It's just that the emperor, the women don't know what they did wrong, and I hope the emperor can make the women die and understand." ”
"You're smart." The emperor chuckled. "Fang Siqi, I didn't want your life."
"It's just that you're too much of an eyesore in the capital, otherwise, you should leave the capital first."
Fang Siqi raised his head in surprise, his mouth was open but he didn't speak.
"What? Don't want to leave Beijing? The emperor raised his eyebrows and said.
"No, the women do." Fang Siqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he didn't understand why the emperor didn't like him, he just let himself leave Beijing first, and Fang Siqi already felt that it was a great blessing.
"Then you can leave today." The emperor said, "I don't want to see you again in the capital. ”
The emperor waved his hand and directly asked Fang Siqi to withdraw.
Fang Siqi came out of the upper study in a fog, the emperor inexplicably killed her, and the emperor inexplicably let her go again.
Fang Siqi, who wants to make everything clear, doesn't want to ask anything at this time.
She left the palace briskly, not daring to do anything, she at least left this life,
When he left the palace, Fang Siqi happened to be opposite Xuanyuan Chen, who went and returned.
"Lord Yan, why are you back?"
Xuanyuan Chen hurriedly pulled Fang Siqi to the side, "Why are you safe?" ”
