Chapter 122: Su Xiran's punishment

Wen Zhiyan looked at Cheng Weizhe, and then looked at Cheng Donglai behind Cheng Weizhe: "Lord Cheng just let his son come like this?" ”

Cheng Donglai's most defended is Cheng Weizhe: "The eldest prince is not something that my Cheng family can cling to." ”

"Okay, I hope Master Cheng won't regret it in the future." After Wen Zhiyan finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Only Cheng Donglai and Cheng Weizhe were left, and Cheng Donglai asked, "How dare you rush out just now?" ”

"Father, you must not respond to this matter, the eldest prince and the emperor were in such a hurry at that time, if you really take this case, I am afraid that this position will really have to be given to others."

"I thought that the eldest prince was here to help me today, but I didn't expect him to fall into the ground." Cheng Donglai said angrily, "In the past, he was quite attentive to his father, but today he has changed." ”

"Father, can't you see it today? The emperor and the eldest prince knew who the murderers of the five princes were, and it was impossible for the five assassins in prison to continue to live. ”

"Then we all know the murderer, why do you still toss Jingzhao Mansion?"

"The emperor and the eldest prince are looking for a scapegoat, the eldest prince has always wanted to win you over, and he could have taken this opportunity to make you die for him, but he is unusual, which proves that the murderer is more powerful than our Cheng family. Ordinary magnates are not worthy of the eldest prince offending our Cheng family for them, so who do you think the murderer will be? ”

Cheng Weizhe peeled off the cocoon, and Cheng Donglai's face became more and more heavy: "Qi family! ”

"That's right, if you take this case, then this matter will definitely be resolved on the grounds of your inadequate handling and poor protection, and then you will be the one who will take the blame for the Qi family."

Cheng Donglai slapped the table angrily: "The eldest prince is really going to plan for himself." ”

"Father, I told you before that the eldest prince is not trustworthy, you believe him, and you still want to marry your sister to him, if you really push Manyin into the fire pit, you will regret it too late." A prince with a virtuous name is better to stay away from him, regardless of whether he is really virtuous or not.

Cheng Donglai sighed: "I didn't fully believe him before. So what do we do now? ”

"Send those five assassins to Dali Temple overnight, and it must not be revealed that these people are related to the assassination of the five princes."

"Okay."

"Also, we owe the prince a favor today."

"What's wrong with the prince, didn't what he just said just be neutralized, neither party can be offended, what does our Cheng family owe him?"

"The crown prince came a long time ago, but he chose to speak out at that time, as if he was repeating what I said before to the emperor, but in fact, he put the stakes in front of the emperor again, so the emperor finally listened to his opinion."

"Why does the prince want to help our Cheng family?"

"I'm not afraid that the prince will ask for something, but I'm afraid that he will ask for nothing for us." Cheng Weizhe didn't understand why Wen Zhiyu helped them, but since he helped, he accepted this love.

Wen Zhiyu followed Wen Xize's side, and Han Feng, Li Sheng, and Xiao Quanzi followed far behind.

"Prince, you asked Hanfeng to hand me the waist card, I have seen it."

"Father doesn't have to explain to his sons, you naturally have your own plans for doing things. This matter is related to the fifth brother, if you have anything to tell the fifth brother in person. ”

When Wen Zhiyu said these words, he was also reminding Wen Xize that no matter what decision he made, he had to take Wen Zhiyan into account.

Wen Xize smiled: "Is everything really okay over there?" ”

"The injury is very serious, if Erchen and the crown princess go one step late, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the fifth brother in the future."

"Since it's okay now, that's fine."

"Father, do you want to take a look at the fifth brother?"

"No need, it's not too early, I have to go back to the palace first. Knowing the Yan side, I'll trouble you to worry about it more. ”

"Where's the lady?"

"Zhiyan and Concubine Shu's temperament is carved out of a mold, and they will never cause trouble, they won't care about this kind of thing."

Wen Zhiyu didn't expect that in the heart of Emperor Chu, Concubine Shu and Wen Zhiqian only had the impression of being submissive.

Concubine Shu doesn't fight or grab all year round, if it weren't for the Taifu, she wouldn't have any sense of existence in the harem at all. Now in order to balance the power of Concubine Xian and the queen, Wen Xize supports Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu is used when Wen Xize is needed, and put aside when she doesn't need it.

As for Wen Zhiyan, an idle prince is not worth mentioning in Wen Xize's heart, and he doesn't need to be careful, so he doesn't need to take it to heart, just like a concubine.

So when this kind of thing happens, Wen Xize can make a decision for these two people, without even considering their feelings at all. But Concubine Shu is his concubine, and Wen Zhiyan is his son, no matter how indisputable these two people are, they shouldn't care about them.

"The situation of the fifth brother today is really dangerous." Wen Zhiyu reminded again.

Wen Xize spoke: "As long as you don't die, what are you afraid of?" ”

Wen Zhiyu's heart sank, as if he was soaked in ice, it turned out that in Wen Xize's heart, useless people, even his own son, could not care.

"Prince, you remember, I am the emperor of Western Chu, and the personal feelings of my children should be put behind the general interests of the country. This kind of trivial matter, you can do it for me, haven't you always befriended Zhiyan, and accompany him more for me. ”

"The retainers obeyed."

After Wen Zhiyu responded, Wen Xize patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the palace.

Wen Xize, Li Sheng and Xiao Quanzi walked farther and farther, Wen Zhiyu still stood in place for a long time, and the cold wind stepped forward and shouted, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, where are you going now?" ”

Wen Zhiyu came back to his senses: "Go to the Five Princes' Mansion." ”

In the dead of night, the door of the Su family's ancestral hall was pushed open, and Su Jingxuan, Song Wenhua and Su Yixiao walked in.

Su Xiran didn't kneel on the ground, she sat on the ground with her knees leaning against the pillar, and when she heard the movement, she didn't raise her head, just looked calmly ahead, like a sculpture.

"Stand guard at the door, and let no one come near." Su Jingxuan commanded.

The door to the ancestral hall was shut, and only four people were left inside.

Su Jingxuan walked to Su Xiran's side, and Su Xiran asked woodenly, "What are you going to do with me, have you thought about it?" ”

Song Wenhua pulled Su Xiran up, hating iron but not steel: "Xiran, why did you do these things?" ”

What are the things that mother refers to? Assassinating the crown princess, designing the crown prince, and poisoning the crown princess today? That's right, I did all these things, are you going to kill me? ”

Song Wenhua looked at Su Xiran's decadent appearance, and felt distressed: "What are you for, just for a prince?" Is it worth ruining your life for the sake of a man? ”

"Mother, you have a love for your father at first sight, so you don't regret following your father on the battlefield, and you have suffered so much, why is it not worth it when you come to me?"

"The prince has no intention of you, you have made all kinds of big mistakes for a person who doesn't like you at all, are you still reasonable?"

Su Xiran was indifferent to Song Wenhua's words, and Su Yixiao pulled Song Wenhua away: "Mother, don't say it, my sister is crazy now, and she can't listen to anything." ”

"That's enough." Su Jingshuo said sharply, he looked at Su Xiran, "Since you are obsessed, then don't blame us for being ruthless." ”

Su Xiran looked at Su Jingxuan fearlessly: "What does my father want?" ”

"Thirty lashes." Su Jingxuan had just finished speaking, and Song Wenhua wanted to dissuade her: "Xiran has been pampered since she was a child, I'm afraid I can't stand it." ”

"Whipping thirty, or her life, let her sober up." Su Jingxuan added, "Since you still don't know what you're doing wrong, then I'll send you to the Buddha Hall to cultivate, even if you don't know what you're wrong, you have to atone for what you did wrong." ”

Hearing that Su Jingshuo was going to drive himself away, Su Xiran panicked: "I don't want to leave the capital......"

"You can't stay in the capital anymore." Su Jingxuan said, "I have already found a Buddhist temple for you, which is very suitable for you to meditate on yourself. After thirty lashes, she was sent out of town overnight, and I don't want to see her again tomorrow morning. ”

Su Xiran knew that she must not leave the capital, she begged Su Jingxuan not to send her away, but when Su Jingxuan walked away directly, Su Xiran fell directly to the ground, reached out and grabbed the corner of Su Yixiao's clothes.

Su Xiran looked up at Su Yixiao with all her might, and burst into tears: "Brother, you used to be the best to me, you help me beg Daddy, don't drive me away, I am the daughter of the Su family, I can't leave the Su family......"
