Chapter 445: All Thanks to You
After Xiao Hanyin returned to the mansion from the palace, he immediately asked his subordinates to secretly investigate the relationship between Princess Wushuang and King Cheng.
He had said before that he would definitely find out these things, and Xiao Hanyin would never break his word.
Liu Qingshao has not come back for more than two months, and the middle feed in the house has always been taken care of by the housekeeper and her trusted Mama Zhou.
The restaurant and shop were handed over to her father-in-law Duan Zhiming, as well as several other stewards.
They are all people who have gone through the test, and Liu Qingshao can trust them, so she is not in a hurry to check the accounts, but plans to meet the housekeeper first to find out what happened in the mansion after they left......
Xiao Hanyin went directly to King Cheng's Mansion the next day, and his subordinates couldn't find out the news for the time being, so he planned to test it to become the king.
After all, no one would know better than him the reason why Princess Wushuang would appear in the Chengwang Mansion.
When King Cheng added to him, his eyes were full of hatred.
The period when he was confined to the mansion was extremely uneasy.
Although he nominally stayed in his own mansion, the subordinates in his mansion were secretly monitored by the emperor's people.
Even if you want to go out and buy something, you will be blocked.
All the expenses and expenses in the Chengwang Mansion were arranged by the emperor.
These people are very good at looking at their faces.
They all know that the emperor doesn't want to see the king, and he can't wait for him to die early, so he often makes small moves in secret.
As a result, the life of becoming a king gradually became not so good, but he couldn't see outsiders, and even if he wanted to complain, he couldn't do it.
In fact, King Cheng knew that the emperor did it on purpose, and he wanted to punish himself in this way.
However, he will not bow his head, unless the emperor can directly ask for his life, otherwise, he will never compromise.
"I haven't seen you for a while, King Cheng seems to be a lot haggard?" Xiao Hanyin saw his embarrassed appearance, and the corners of his mouth hooked a faint arc.
He is bent on competing with the emperor for the country, and even disregards the interests and safety of the people, such a person should have been punished.
However, they have never been able to thoroughly find out how much King Cheng has done in private that is not conducive to the court.
So, the emperor could only control him for the time being, and then find a way to lure his henchmen out.
The current effect is not bad, at least they have eliminated some of the people who have become kings, and he believes that it will not be long before the other henchmen of king cheng will not be able to hold it back, and they want to come to the imperial city to save him in person.
However, they had already set up a game and waited for them to come.
King Cheng must have guessed it, so he has been forbearing.
After all, the imperial city is the emperor's place, and if he wants to escape from here, it is equivalent to a rebellion, and the emperor can send troops to hang him directly......
He was in a dilemma, unable to make a choice, so he could only silently endure the emperor's difficulties for him.
Since Xiao Hanyin left the Imperial City, they hadn't seen each other again.
Now that they meet again, King Cheng can't wait to cramp and debone him.
It's a pity that he has long been a prisoner of the emperor, although he is still nominally the only king with a different surname in the imperial court, but now he can't even compare with ordinary people.
After all, the people are still free, but he has nothing......
"Xiao Hanyin, what do you want to do!" King Cheng said with a gloomy face.
"There is no shortage of people in the mansion to serve, why is the prince so embarrassed?" Xiao Hanyin raised his eyebrows.
"All thanks to you!" King Cheng hated him so much.
However, although Xiao Hanyin's official position is small, he is not a person he can shake.
Xiao Hanyin was quite valued by the emperor, and during the Jiangnan period, he also found out his calculations and secretly conspired with the emperor to ground him.
It's been almost half a year now, and he hasn't taken half a step out of the house.
He's really fed up, but no one can help him.
Now all the officials in the imperial city have cut off contact with him, and the former Wang family has also been annexed by Liu Qingshao and He Lianyu.
King Cheng's arms were cut off, and he was the only one left who was still holding on.
The reason why he has always refused to give in is because he knows that with the emperor's temperament, even if he sincerely gives up, he will not spare him.
Since he has the intention of usurping the throne, even if the other party tries everything, he will definitely trap him in the imperial city, as long as he is gone, then all his forces will be completely dissipated.
Now that the emperor can't find someone to kill him openly, he can only use a soft knife to kill him little by little.
Cheng Wang saw these things clearly, but he was helpless......
"The prince's words are heart-wrenching, all this is clearly your own fault, if it weren't for your great ambition, Xiao Xiang wouldn't have fallen to such a point if it wasn't something that didn't belong to you!" Xiao Hanyin pointed out sharply that he had bad intentions.
"Haha, do you have proof?"
King Cheng laughed and said, "You are embarrassed and deliberately harm this king, and this king knows it!" "Love me
Although he did not directly say the emperor's name, he also said the resentment in his heart word for word.
King Cheng is not a person who likes to forbear.
Over the years, he has never given up on the position that once haunted him.
"What is deliberately harming the prince, if you don't have those thoughts, you will naturally not end up in this fate, you are not innocent at all!" Now there are only the two of them, and Xiao Hanyin doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks.
"No evidence is a frame-up!" King Cheng doesn't care so much, the only thing he has done is known to him and his henchmen.
He had been planning for so many years, and if he was really caught by someone for the pigtail so easily, wouldn't he have wasted his mind in vain, but he never expected that the emperor would use such a specious excuse to trap him in the mansion.
There is no place for heroes, and everything about him has become a mirror......
"Lord Wang, this world belongs to the emperor, and whether you are guilty or not, how can the emperor not know that he can let you continue to retain the glory of the king with a different surname, which is already considered mercy!" Xiao Hanyin's words were like a sharp sword, piercing him straight to the heart.
"Doglegs!" King Cheng sneered.
"At least I got what I wanted, but it's a pity that the prince's mind will never come true one day!" He didn't care.
"Get out, this king doesn't want to see you!" King Cheng was greatly stimulated.
"In order to get what he wants, the prince secretly colluded with the Tianqi Dynasty and the second prince to plot rebellion, what do you say about this crime?" Xiao Han said expressionlessly.
"You are talking nonsense, since this king returned to the imperial city, he has been grounded by the emperor, how can he have contact with the people of the Tianqi Dynasty!" King Cheng retorted.
"You don't count these things, not to mention the fact that the second prince went to a neighboring country in private, but you personally revealed it, if you really don't have any contact with him, how can you know so many things that the emperor doesn't know?" Xiao Hanyin talked to him little by little.
"If you want to know, this king just doesn't say it!" King Cheng deliberately hung him.
"Since you can't argue for yourself, you can only end up with the second prince!" Xiao Han said in secret.
"Xiao Hanyin, do you really think that if I'm trapped here, I'm really confused?" He said with disdain on his face, "The second prince shouldn't have been arrested yet, right?" ”
"The prince's news is really well-informed, even if he is under house arrest in the mansion, he can still know the news outside!" Xiao Hanyin's eyes lit up
Such a secret thing even the ministers of the court did not know, how did he find out.
"Xiao Hanyin, don't think about the words of this king, this king won't let you know!" King Cheng quickly reacted.
"Today I came here to investigate, if you insist on refusing to say anything about your collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country, then you can only wait for the emperor's personal interrogation!" Xiao Hanyin glanced at him coldly.
"I was worried that I wouldn't see the emperor, but I didn't expect you to help me!" A faint smile finally appeared on his face.
"Really?" Xiao Hanyin's thin lips hooked slightly, "Do you think the emperor is so good-looking?" ”
"You want to take the opportunity to wronged this king and condemn this king?" He instantly understood Xiao Hanyin and the emperor's intentions.
"With the identity and status of the emperor, it is not difficult to list some charges for you, in the past, the saint had concerns, but now you have been imprisoned for half a year, and many things are already different from the beginning!" Xiao Hanyin deliberately misled him.
"Despicable, this king will not be fooled!" King Cheng gritted his teeth with hatred for him and the emperor.
"The Tianqi Dynasty has a new king, and their princess has appeared in your mansion, this is the best evidence, you can't escape!" After Xiao Hanyin angered him, he immediately said about Princess Wushuang.
Xiao Hanyin knew that if he asked King Cheng directly, he would definitely not say anything.
However, the prince's side is bound to win the unequaled princess, and Xiao Hanyin really has no choice, so he will come to King Cheng to tempt him.
"What is the princess of the Tianqi Dynasty, this king doesn't know!" King Cheng subconsciously denied it.
"We have all seen her in your mansion, and many people saw her appearance clearly at that time, if the emperor really investigates it, can you really be alone?" Xiao Hanyin's words made a cold glint pass through his eyes.
"Xiao Hanyin, don't you just want to know if there is a secret relationship between me and that woman?" After King Cheng calmed down, he quickly saw through his intentions.
"Let me tell you, I personally invited her to the mansion as a guest, as for the matter between me and her, you can find out for yourself!" King Cheng refused to reveal anything about her.
He obviously wanted to increase Xiao Hanyin's troubles, so he hid everything in his heart.
In fact, when Xiao Hanyin came to look for him, he had already guessed it in his heart.
Still, he came with a glimmer of hope.
"Do you think I can't do anything about you?" Xiao Hanyin's face sank.
"Although this king is imprisoned, this king's status is still higher than yours!" King Cheng didn't believe what he dared to do to himself.
"So what!" Xiao Hanyin's eyes showed a hint of cold light and said, "Now you are no different from the prisoners, you said that if I really do something, will anyone come forward for you?" ”
"What do you want to do?" A flash of panic flashed in King Cheng's heart, because he knew that what Xiao Hanyin said was the truth.
If he did make a move, he would have no power to fight back at the moment.
He used to be a battlefield general, and he was invincible, but against Xiao Hanyin, he only had to suffer.
His martial arts are more than a star and a half stronger than himself, and he is getting old in the end.
"You'll know in a minute!" After Xiao Hanyin glanced at King Cheng inscrutablely, he left King Cheng's mansion by himself.
However, before leaving, he made sure to hint to the guards of Cheng Wang and give him some lessons in private.
King Cheng is no longer the high-ranking him, and now he can only live by relying on people's noses......
