Chapter 118: Anger and Shame

As soon as Princess Ankang declared the emotions in her heart, the atmosphere in the Xuanzheng Palace changed suddenly.

Originally, she and Sima Zhao were already very eye-catching when they talked on the side, not to mention that Princess Ankang had never concealed her voice.

Whatever came out of her mouth was all heard by the officials and ministers present.

They quietly looked at each other left and right, expressing their thoughts with each other's eyes, whether they should say goodbye to Sima Zhao first, and then come in when he summoned them again. After all, Princess Ankang's mouth sounded a little frightening.

Although they have not been in office for too long, they still know the common sense they should have.

No matter how this matter is resolved in the end, if they really listen to it, then their lives will come to an end.

However, although they all knew it, they still did not dare to really dare to propose to retire for the time being.

They were torn apart.

If you don't ask for retirement, it is very likely that you will suffer after the fall; But if you ask for a retirement, it is very likely that you will settle the account on the spot.

When he retired at this time, didn't he clearly tell Sima Zhao that he had heard the conversation between him and Princess Ankang clearly, and he also knew what was involved?

So they thought about it for a long time, and they still coincidentally became turtles with shrunken heads, which could be dragged on for a while.

All these officials and ministers who were called by Sima Zhao in the Xuanzheng Hall lowered their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and looked at their hearts, as if they couldn't see or hear anything, and put themselves out of the matter.

As for Sima Zhao, his attitude has also changed significantly.

At this moment, his brows were slightly furrowed, a few folds had been wrinkled in the middle of his forehead, and his eyes were slightly shrunk, but he did not look directly at Princess Ankang, but glanced around, looking extremely impatient.

His lips pursed slightly, indifferent to Princess Ankang's questioning. Obviously, Sima Zhao's attitude towards Princess Ankang has changed from surprise, weakness, and caution at the beginning to irritability, dislike, and boredom now.

This attitude was completely undisguised, making it difficult for Princess Ankang to ignore it.

Princess Ankang couldn't help laughing at herself,

"yes, what nonsense am I asking? It's all at this time, if you have any intention of repenting, Brother Huang, it will naturally change a long time ago, so why wait until you are healthy and I will ask you? ”

Sima Zhao lowered his eyelids, and his attitude of rejection was already very obvious, so he almost wrote it down directly and let the attendants who served him read it.

He turned to the side slightly, no longer facing Princess Ankang, and said impatiently, "Do you have anything else to say?" If there is nothing important, you can leave. ”

After saying that, Sima Zhao's footsteps took a step back slightly, and it seemed that he was going back to continue his discussions with those officials and ministers.

"Brother Huang, is this just going to rush Ankang away?" Princess Ankang hung her head, unable to make out the expression on her face.

Her tone was no longer aggrieved and disappointed, but very calm, as if she was stating a very ordinary and ordinary thing, without emotion or position.

So Sima Zhao turned his head and said to Princess Ankang with the last bit of temperament: "I didn't say that, but I still have some important things to discuss with the extremely courtiers, so Ankang you have nothing to do, so let's put it aside for now." ”

"Brother Huang is really a good plan...... Princess Ankang seemed to sigh, and then changed her tone, and said to Sima Zhao with compassion and viciousness, "However, when my Princess Ankang came here today, I didn't want to expose it so lightly."

Brother Huang, you have to admit what you have done, and don't think that if you have covered it up, things will not exist. When you first saw the scene of Xie Rong's death, didn't you have nightmares every night? ”

"Ankang, what the hell are you talking nonsense!" Sima Zhao had obviously endured to the extreme, and his gaze at Princess Ankang was full of anger after all, "If I didn't do it, I didn't do it, you must let me admit it, what is my intention?" ”

"What can I do, it's just to help the imperial brother re-recognize yourself, and help everyone re-understand what kind of person their majesty and the emperor of the great emperor is." An Kang raised his head, his expression was unusually firm,

"I, Sima Jingru, swear by the name of Princess Ankang. I am convinced that Captain Xie died in the palace and was related to the Great Emperor. Brother Huang, do you dare to swear that all this really has nothing to do with you? ”

Sima Zhao didn't expect Princess Ankang to use this way to seek justice for Xie Rong, and he did feel a little caught off guard, but then a huge sense of absurdity and anger came to his heart.

His brows furrowed, and he no longer had the usual gentle and kind appearance, but was fierce and vicious.

His whole face instantly turned red, and a few bruises were revealed on his neck because of the exertion.

He raised his hand and pointed at Princess Ankang and scolded, "Ankang! What exactly do you want to do? Is this the rule you learned from the court? You're just messing around with my royal face! Come on, take Princess Ankang down and confine her for me, and no one can be released without my order! ”

Sima Zhao looked very angry, and he felt that he was really aroused by Princess Ankang's nonsense. But if you listen carefully to what Sima Zhao said and are not affected by his emotions, then you will find that what Sima Zhao said actually has no content.

He avoided the words related to Xie Rong and his oath throughout the whole process, but said a few innocuous words paradoxically, and finally simply wanted to confine Princess Ankang.

Looking at these operations, the word "heart deficiency" is fully displayed.

The minister, who could see the key clearly, naturally had some other considerations in his heart. And what is not clear, that doesn't matter. After all, in this kind of power struggle that has never been stabilized, those who do not see the situation or the essence of things clearly will definitely be abandoned by the development of events.

In other words, that's how these people work.

A few guards came in from outside the Xuanzheng Palace, and they had to listen to Sima Zhao's words and suppress Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang broke free from the hands of the guards who wanted to pull her, straightened up, and maintained her nobility as a princess.

She held her head high, without the slightest hint of regret on her face, but stared at Sima Zhao's face and said loudly,

"Brother Huang, you're scared."

A simple sentence made Sima Zhao's heart beat violently, and it took a long time to calm down again.

He hurriedly signaled the guards to press Princess Ankang out, but the shadow in his heart could not be dispelled no matter what.

At this time, he always felt as if something was out of his control.
