Chapter 295: Prince Dongping
Hearing Su Nianjun's veto, Qiao He felt a little aggrieved.
"Your Royal Highness, you noble people are so forgetful, you don't remember, a long time ago, when you couldn't offend the prince of Dongping, the lord of Luoxue once said in front of the prince of Dongping and you that he liked the East Palace, you laughed, what is so difficult about that, and then ordered in the East Palace, no one can stop the lord of Luoxue from entering the East Palace."
After listening to Qiao He's reminder, he felt vaguely impressed before, and Su Nianjun immediately remembered it.
Yes, at that time, he had just become the crown prince, and although he had half of the military power of the Northern Qiang Kingdom, at that time, he still couldn't compete with the deep-rooted prince of Dongping, so he forbeared, and naturally forbearance of the pearl of the prince of Dongping.
Now, however, he is no longer afraid of anyone, and he does not need to be patient.
Lord Luoxue rushed to the East Palace so unscrupulously today to make a fuss about his wife who was about to get married, and also clamored to kill his Xianhe, which he couldn't tolerate.
"After you reminded me like this, I remembered, it seems that there is such a thing, but Qiao He, how long have you been with me?"
Su Nianjun's words turned extremely fast, and even Qiao He, who reacted quickly, didn't have time to react.
"Huh? The subordinates have forgotten how many years, but they still clearly remember that after your grandfather passed away, they followed you to the Northern Qiang Kingdom. ”
Despite the doubts in his heart, Qiao He still answered honestly.
"Good."
Su Nianjun nodded slowly.
"But, you've been with me for so long, why are you still like this, I used to be scared of such an order, that's because our power had not yet been built up at that time, and we couldn't compete with the prince of Dongping, and we were restricted everywhere, so, at that time, we had to endure everywhere, and now, we don't need to be afraid of anyone, and we don't need to tolerate anyone, these things must be changed, you are one of the most powerful assistants around me, you represent my face, and now, let the lord of Luoxue make a fuss in my East Palace, And then go back unharmed, even if you coaxed it back, this kind of behavior is tantamount to telling the entire Beiqiang Kingdom that the prince still has not changed anything, and he is still so timid and afraid, in this way, I want to take back all the military power, and how should I let those who want to surrender believe that I have this ability? ”
Hearing Su Nianjun's long reprimand, Qiao He knelt on the ground with great regret, and his head hung so much that he didn't dare to look at him directly.
"Yes, it's the fault of the subordinates, the subordinates are narrow-minded, I didn't think of so much, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish him, his subordinates are at fault, and they are willing to be punished."
Su Nianjun glanced at Qiao He expressionlessly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, without saying a word for a long time.
In fact, he himself knew that Qiao He couldn't be blamed for this matter anyway, but he had a fire in his heart, a fire that was incompetent to himself.
He saw every move, word and deed of the Luoxue County Lord to Shen Xianhe just now, and listened to it in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch Shen Xianhe be humiliated.
Although Shen Xianhe didn't suffer too much at the hands of the Luoxue County Lord, these things happened under his nose, and because of him, how could he bear it.
Later, listening to what Shen Xianhe said to him at the side of his bed, he felt even more guilty and blamed himself, and when he heard the low sobs of forbearance one after another, his heart was like a knife, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Bang"
Thinking of this, Su Nianjun suddenly crushed the cup in his hand into powder, and the white powder slid down his palm and fell onto the table, forming a small white sand pile.
Hearing this loud noise, Qiao He, who was kneeling on the ground, was frightened, he quickly looked up at the source of the sound, and after understanding what was going on, he stared at Su Nianjun with wide eyes, and before he could speak, he heard Su Nianjun chuckle, and then while laughing, he got up and turned his back to him, and said with a sarcastic voice.
"This matter, I don't blame you, it's the crime I want to add, we have endured it for many years, just to be able to take down the prince of Dongping, and now it has not reached the last step, how can it be revealed, it's me, it's my own incompetence, and I want to blame this matter on your head, it's me who watched Xianhe being bullied by the falling snow, but I couldn't get up to protect her, I could only let her deal with those humiliations by herself, I was incompetent, and I didn't blame anyone...... However, this is only temporary, tomorrow when I marry Xianhe, after that, I will definitely make the person who has been disrespectful to her pay the price, no matter who it is, as long as it is someone who has hurt Xianhe, I don't think I will let her go, you step down, I will stay alone for a while. ”
Qiao He looked at Su Nianjun's back dumbfounded, before he could recover from Su Nianjun's sudden anger, he heard his extremely self-reproachful words, and when he was still thinking about how to open his mouth to comfort, he had already recovered.
This series of emotions made him a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what happened all of a sudden? Is it because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been lying down for a long time, and people are lying crazy?
However, these were just Qiao He's silent thoughts in his heart, and he didn't dare to show a trace in front of Su Nianjun.
"Yes, there are still some details in the ceremony tomorrow, and my subordinates will improve it."
Qiao He held back his complicated emotions and withdrew.
After Su Nianjun was the only one left in the hall, he turned around and continued to sit back on the chair, looking at the powder on the table, and sighed helplessly.
He also knew that he was very abnormal today, but he just couldn't control it.
He had promised Shen Xianhe that he would never lie and deceive her again, and promised to protect her well, but now, he didn't do anything of these two things, and let her step into this dangerous situation, but because Shen Xianhe was going to marry him tomorrow, his heart was extremely excited, and this mixed mood made him not know what to do for a while, so he was so moody.
Knowing that this was wrong, but he still couldn't help but do it, he was afraid that these lies would be known by Shen Xianhe one day, afraid that she would never forgive him again, afraid that she would really hide, so that he could no longer find it, this feeling of gain and loss made him lose confidence for the first time, and he was so afraid that he didn't dare to think about the consequences of her learning the truth.
The lord of Luoxue asked his subordinates to take her to the medical hall in the city, in order not to let the prince of Dongping see that she was injured, so he asked his subordinates to go back first to find out when the prince of Dongping was not in the mansion and was going back.
After she finished taking the medicine and bandaging the wound, the subordinates who went back to the house to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince of Dongping came back soon, and she replied with a somewhat unnatural look.
"Lord Qiyu, Lord Wang, he just went out at the invitation of a friend, are you going back now? Or when will you go back? ”
The Falling Snow County Lord lowered his head and thought about it, and after a moment, he opened his mouth and commanded.
"Since my father is not at home at the moment, then the county lord should go back now, so it is good to avoid him like this, otherwise, seeing my wound, his violent temper will definitely rush to the East Palace to ask for someone, then at that time, the prince's brother will not be able to live."
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
In this way, the lord of Luoxue, who had finished dressing his wounds with medicine, returned to Dongping Wangfu with a group of subordinates.
It's just that as soon as she entered the door, she saw the prince of Dongping sitting in the center of the hall, and she was a little frightened and hurriedly asked.
"Father, why are you here? Aren't you going out and going to appointments? ”
His temples were already gray, but the prince of Dongping, who was in good spirits, was looking at the weak Luoxue County Lord with a cold face, and said sternly.
"Why do you think I'm here? Where have you been? Why do you have to send someone to check if your father is at home even when you go back to your own home? ”
The lord of Luoxue County is not stupid, but because he is too vicious and lawless on weekdays, he gives people a feeling of straw bales.
At this moment, hearing the question of the prince of Dongping, she still didn't understand anything, so she turned her head to look at the subordinate she arranged to come back to inquire about the news, looked at him angrily and asked.
"You betrayed the lord of the county to your father?"
Hearing her question, the subordinate who had been by her side for a long time immediately knelt in front of her, trembling, and explained intermittently.
"Please forgive the county lord...... Is it a small mistake...... When the little one was ordered to come back to investigate, he was accidentally seen through by the prince, so he had to tell the prince everything...... I also ask the county lord to forgive me...... Please forgive ....... ”
"Forgiveness? Forgive? You are a subordinate of the lord of this county, not your father's, and the person you obey is the lord of this county, and if you act like this, you have already betrayed your master, so do you think that the lord of this county will forgive and forgive you? ”
"The county lord spares his life...... The subordinates really didn't mean it...... Ask the county lord to give his subordinates a chance ....... ”
"It's late, I've been by the side of this county lord for so long, what kind of character this county lord is, don't you know? Come, take him down to the lord of the county, cut him into pieces, and feed him to the dogs. ”
"Yes."
Ignoring the wailing of the subordinate, a few people rushed over and quickly took the subordinate down.
The lord of Luoxue commanded coldly, his demeanor was extremely normal, and the people around him seemed to be commonplace, and they were no longer surprised, even the prince of Dongping opposite her watched her deal with all this with a cold eye in silence, and did not open his mouth to stop it.
After everything around him returned to calm, the lord of Luoxue turned his head to look at the prince of Dongping and said in a coquettish tone.
"Father, you haven't answered your daughter's previous question?"
The prince of Dongping smiled softly, although he had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
