It's about letting him say the punishment himself.

Xia Huaiqing began to hesitate again in his heart, if he said that this punishment was light, it would be pointed out by the emperor, and he would lose a lot of face.

But if you talk too much, it will be a bit of a loss, which is equivalent to breaking your own wings.

The emperor's move seems to be painless, but it is really ruthless to play, and Xia Huaiqing probably knows it in his heart.

"Your Majesty...... It is better to remove Xia Zhiqiu from his ancestral hometown, although the minister gave birth to her and raised her, but in this kind of major event, the minister will definitely not take into account the slightest affection between the two. ”

Xia Huaiqing insisted on making his punishment lighter, really, this is not a punishment for him, but it is only for Xia Zhiqiu, and even in this paragraph, he praised himself in disguise.

The emperor was definitely not a fool if he could be in this position for so long, and he only listened to a few words and saw that something was wrong with these words.

The light in his eyes flickered and dimmed, but Xia Huaiqing didn't realize that the emperor had already known his careful thoughts, and he was moved by what he said every sentence.

"Is the punishment Xia Aiqing said a little small?" The Emperor spoke, clearly dissatisfied with what he had said.

Xia Huaiqing's heart jumped by the emperor's words, and he was silent for a while before he continued: "The emperor doesn't have to doubt Weichen like this, Chen's loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth casually, Xia Huaiqing's words were suspicious of sycophancy.

The emperor smiled a few times with a shy face, but there was no happy feeling in the laughter: "I should have said very clearly before, Xia Zhiqiu committed such a heinous crime, and it has nothing to do with your parents, but now, Xia Aiqing seems to want to push all these things on her head." ”

The emperor's sense of chasing after the wind and shadows has always been keen, and Xia Huaiqing was pierced by his words, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the minister definitely doesn't mean this." Xia Huaiqing still made a final struggle for himself before he died.

The emperor had already lost patience with him, and his cold eyes drifted him a few times: "Whether you have such a meaning or not has nothing to do with me, this punishment is absolutely inevitable." ”

The emperor has always spoken in a word, and now that he has said it so clearly, there is no room for maneuver at all.

Xia Huaiqing was already like ashes, he knelt on the ground motionless, and even the courage to look at the emperor was stifled.

"For the sake of Xia Zhixue's meritorious service, I can consider it at my discretion and give you a lenient punishment." Considering Xia Zhixue's relationship, the emperor's tone immediately paused.

"Actually, this doesn't mean that you can take chances, after all, there will be no shortage of things that should come." A meaningful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Xia Huaiqing was terrified just by listening to the emperor's words, as if the emperor's eyes were on the team......

He didn't say a word.

The final verdict has not been handed down for a long time.

The emperor looked at Xia Huaiqing who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of interest, and Xia Huaiqing seemed to be being Ling Chi, and his heart brushed over the not very moral things he had done one by one.

Fear eventually took over his heart, corroding his nerves little by little.

"Just like I said before, I will be demoted to the Sanpin Hou Mansion like Xiahou Mansion, and confiscate your year's salary." When the emperor spoke, he paused word by word.

When the first punishment came out, Xia Huaiqing's whole person was already in confusion. Chinese bar

At first, Xiahou Mansion was a first-class Hou Mansion, but now it has been lowered by two orders in a row because of these things, which is also chilling to say.

The second punishment is relatively lenient, only confiscating the Yulu and not depriving other rights, although Xia Huaiqing's annual Yulu will not be a small amount.

"Do you have any other opinions on my decisions?" After the emperor finished speaking, he took a special look at Xia Huaiqing, and seemed to attach great importance to his opinion.

Xia Huaiqing bit his lower lip and took several deep breaths before finally saying silently: "Everything is subject to your arrangement as the emperor." ”

His words were undoubtedly very satisfying to the emperor. It's just that his face didn't show it, so he nodded lightly.

This holy decree soon reached his hand, and Xia Huaiqing took it and threw it on the ground fiercely, his chest was undulating, and he didn't know how many bursts of heavy breath he had.

Xia Zhiqiu has been in prison all the time, and when Xia Huaiqing met the emperor for conviction, she was released by the jailers.

Xia Zhiqiu, who came out of the prison, was still very angry, her haggard face was looking up to the ground, and she was completely with an attitude of not taking people seriously.

When the jailers saw her appearance, they all shook their heads speechlessly, feeling that this person was dying and didn't know yet.

Xia Zhiqiu was sent back to Xiahou Mansion safely by the emperor.

Xia Huaiqing, the marquis, has been demoted, and it stands to reason that he should move to the mansion, and by the way, he will change the behavior of all the people in the family.

But the emperor was kind-hearted, and he didn't have much time to think of him, so he didn't immediately ask him to take action, and reluctantly gave a few days of grace.

Xia Huaiqing was sitting in the mansion at this time, he was angry, he looked at the scenery in front of him as always, and always felt that some tastes were not the same.

"Daddy." There was a coquettish female voice outside, and it was Xia Zhiqiu's if you listened carefully.

Xia Zhiqiu walked his lotus steps, took one step and shook three times, and walked into the mansion slowly.

Xia Huaiqing was angry with her before, but now she suddenly saw the main owner swaggering in, and a slap almost didn't fall.

"You still have the face to come back." Xia Huaiqingpi didn't smile or smile, and looked at the person in front of him.

Xia Zhiqiu didn't know what was going on at all, and in the face of such a bad attitude, the whole person was a little speechless.

After a while, she whispered, "Is this what happened?" ”

"You still have the face to ask me that kind of question?" Xia Huaiqing somehow began to make fire again, he looked at Xia Zhiqiu in front of him, a slap in the air, swaying as if it was falling.

Xia Zhiqiu has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never seen such a scene, his whole leg is like taking root in the ground, and he can't move at all.

Smack, a crisp slap landed on her face.

Xia Zhiqiu put her hand on the side of her face in disbelief, the expression of her eyes froze little by little, she opened her mouth wide, but she didn't say a word.

"This money-losing goods is annoying to look at." Xia Huaiqing sneered for a while, turned to leave, and didn't look at him again.

Xia Zhiqiu suddenly fell to the ground, her hands grabbed the sleeves on both sides, and tightened them little by little.

The scene just now kept replaying in his ears, and the tears soon fell, but one by one they did not look crystal clear at all.
