Xie Chengyan didn't want to say it, and Gong Tianyao had no choice, she could only calm down as soon as possible and wait for an appropriate time. In any case, Song Zhao's arrival brought her a hint of a turnaround.

Xie Chengyan, who left from the Black Worm Hall, looked gloomy, and there was no trace of his former high-spirited and chic spirit in him, he clenched his fists and shouted desperately to himself in his heart: Don't look back, don't look back!

If he risked his mother's life to help Gong Tianyao leave, he couldn't do it! His mother is his dearest relative, how can he be ruthless and abandon her safety for the sake of the freedom of his loved one?!

He resolutely stepped away from the threshold of the Black Worm Hall, got into the carriage and went straight back to his official residence.

Song Zhao waited for a few days, but King Jin Yongguo did not give an exact date, and Song Zhao sent someone to urge, but it was only perfunctory and perfunctory again and again.

Because he was worried about Gong Tianyao's safety, Song Zhao personally entered the palace to see King Jin Yongguo, King Jin Yongguo was so weak that he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and he was petty, but he always refused to answer Song Zhao's question head-on.

"Lord Wang, please sit down, I still have some affairs to deal with, I really can't get out of my body, please forgive me, I will come when I go alone." The king had a smile on his face, trying to delay as much time as possible.

Song Zhao's eyes were cold, swept the hypocritical face of King Jin Yongguo, and said coldly: "No need, this king only has one sentence to ask you, how is the plan for the departure?" This king has given you so many days to think about it, and there should be a result? No matter how bad it is, those ministers in your court don't even have this ability? ”

The king was frightened by this series of questions and sweated, unnaturally raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his face, and his tone was flattering: "Don't be angry, it's really early, and the gifts have not been prepared, if you go to celebrate the emperor's birthday like this, I'm afraid the emperor won't like it, so please give the prince more time, and when the day comes, everything is ready, and it's not too late to set off." ”

"Then the king has been waiting in vain these days?" Song Zhao's eyes became more and more aggressive, and his tone was extremely displeased.

His attitude was tough, and the king was a little untenable, wiping his sweat and saying: "The prince is angry, let the prince take the prince around for a few days, and see the customs and customs of our Jin Yongguo......"

Looking at Song Zhao's increasingly gloomy face, the king really couldn't speak, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn to the extreme, obviously in his own territory, but he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

This king of Nan'an is really difficult to deal with, and he can't get in touch with the rumored cowardly and useless prince who is obedient. The king once again stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat, and did not dare to arrange Song Zhao's affairs on his own initiative.

"This king will give you one last day." Song Zhao said coldly: "A day later, if you can't give the answer that this king wants, this king will report to the court and truthfully report to my father." ”

"Lord, this ......" The king looked embarrassed, doesn't this make it clear that the ducks are on the shelves?! Song Zhao ignored him and got up to leave. The king looked at the back of him leaving, his face was gloomy, he sighed for a while, and ordered someone to invite the eldest prince into the palace to discuss the matter.

The eldest prince was unruly, and he couldn't understand his father's worry and panic, so he patted his chest and shouted: "I don't believe it, we don't want to go, can he still tie us up?!" ”

Although the king was very jealous in his heart, he would rather gamble than go to the capital early to hand over his head to others, so the next day Song Zhao's people came to ask, he still had the original set of rhetoric, Song Zhao knew, immediately wrote back to Beijing, told the emperor all about Jin Yongguo's situation, at the end of the letter, he reminded the emperor to pay close attention to Jin Yongguo's movements, just in case.

Immediately after the letter was delivered, he went to the palace and asked to see the king. The king had no choice but to meet him, and as soon as they met, Song Zhao threw the evidence of Xie Chengyan's establishment of a secret intelligence agency in the capital in front of him, and said coldly: "I don't know what your explanation is for this?" ”

The king picked up the papers scattered on the ground in a panic and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, he was speechless for a while, and he stammered for a long time, Song Zhao looked at him and sneered: "No wonder you don't dare to go back to Beijing with this king, it turns out that you are a thief!" ”

"Lord Wang, this, this lonely person just knew about it!" The king looked up at Song Zhao, and after only a while, his panicked expression just now turned into a shocked face: "Lone didn't know about this matter, it was all done by Lone's second son, if Lone knew about it, he would definitely kill his relatives in righteousness, and he would have been handed over to the emperor early to be disposed of!" ”

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Song Zhao's mouth: "What's going on, please ask the second prince to come and ask." ”

"Hurry up and invite the second prince over!" The king commanded sharply, but his hands trembled nervously as he turned his back to Song Zhao.

Xie Chengyan heard the news and quickly came, and as soon as he entered the hall, he felt the oppressive and dignified atmosphere, although he had a bad premonition in his heart, he could only pretend to be calm and salute.

As soon as he bowed down, before he could speak, he was smashed by a pile of paper on his face, and his brain was completely blank at that moment, and after a while, he calmly picked up the paper on the ground, read it calmly, and finally lowered his eyes and was silent.

"You, look what bastard you've done!" The king was furious: "If you are so bold and reckless, you will be harmed by you!" Damn it, damn it! ”

Xie Chengyan calmly raised his eyes to look directly at the 'innocent' king, his eyes were extraordinarily calm, calm to the point of almost cold-bloodedness, he bit his lower lip tightly, and finally didn't say a word.

Song Zhao watched all this coldly, knowing the truth of the facts, the king was suddenly a little frightened, the more shocked Xie Chengyan was, the more weak his heart became: what if he was forced to tell everything?!

The king was so nervous that his mouth was dry, and he suddenly thought of Xie Chengyan's weakness, so he slowly calmed down, and his voice was also a lot more restrained: "If you confess honestly, you can suffer less, so as not to affect innocent people." The last four words were bitten very clearly, and the tone was deliberately accentuated, like a hammer hitting Xie Chengyan's heart.

A wry smile appeared on his lips, this is the good father he loves, the good husband that his mother misses, and threatens his son with his mother......

After a moment of silence, he straightened his back and said, "Erchen deserves to die, this matter is all done by Erchen alone, and it has nothing to do with others, Erchen is willing to be punished." ”

The king breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned back to Song Zhao and said: "Lord Wang, there is no way for the lone godson, let him do such a thing that is not conducive to the exchanges between the two countries, it is really a shame to the emperor, Lone will hand over this evil obstacle to the prince now, and you can do whatever you want to deal with him." ”

Song Zhao was expressionless, ignored the king, looked at Xie Chengyan, and asked coldly, "Why did you do this?" ”
