Chapter Ninety-Four
When Concubine Shu heard this, she fainted.
Song Yuanmin said hatefully: "Song Yuanxi, you are so vicious!" He actually planted a fine work beside this king, and deceived this king by deceiving him. You, you are so despicable! ”
Song Yuanxi didn't even raise his eyelids, and calmly responded: "The two emperor brothers have won the award, and they are each other." It only shows that you are too stupid to discern. ”
Song Yuanmin was half angry, and turned to scold Xue Cheng: "Xue Cheng! You white-eyed wolf, the king trusts you so much, you actually betrayed the king! Shame on you! ”
"Fine" Xue Cheng stood aside, with no expression on his face.
Song Yuanxi waved his hand impatiently and ordered Gu Ziyi: "Take it down, it's noisy!" ”
Gu Ziyi should be.
Song Yuanmin shouted unwillingly: "Slow down, slow down!" Song Yuanxi, you can't kill this king! ”
"Oh? Why? ”
"Because...... Because the edict has been issued, this king is now the crown prince of Dachu, and the edict of the prince has been sent out, you can't chase it back, hahaha......"
The more he talked, the more proud he became, glad that he had left a life-saving talisman, even if Song Yuanxi had great courage, he would not dare to kill him.
"The edict of the prince?"
Song Yuanxi finally stood up, turned around, walked to Song Yuanmin in a few steps, took out a roll of something from his arms, shook it in front of Song Yuanmin's eyes, and asked lazily, "Is this it?" ”
Song Yuanmin's eyes widened, staring at the thing in Song Yuanxi's hand in disbelief, and said angrily: "You dare to intercept the edict?!" It's a capital offense! Do you want to destroy the edict?! ”
Song Yuanxi smiled and asked, "Why did this king destroy the edict?" ”
Song Yuanmin had reached the end of his rope, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "...... You knowingly ask! Of course, it's because you covet the position of the prince! Because the name of this king is written on this edict! ”
"Your name?"
Song Yuanxi sneered and mocked: "Second Emperor Brother, Second Emperor Brother, this king thought that you just had a bad brain, but I didn't think about it, you couldn't even use your eyes...... You open your dog's eyes and take a good look, whose name is this? ”
He spread out the bright yellow edict and held it up in front of Song Yuanmin's eyes. When Song Yuanmin saw the name on it, his face suddenly turned like earth, and his lips kept squirming, but he couldn't even say a word.
"How? Do you see it clearly? Song Yuanxi's lips hung a playful mockery, and he admired Song Yuanmin's expression with satisfaction, and said, "This is the jade seal you covered with your own hands!" ”
“……”
How can it be...... He could clearly see it clearly at that time, his name was on the edict, how could it become Song Yuanxi's?! Could it be that Xue Cheng did it when it was sealed? !
"I'm really sorry for disturbing the second emperor's brother's crown prince's dream. But the second emperor brother needs to know one thing, people are valuable in self-knowledge. The position of the East Palace is not something that any cat or dog can do, and you also want to think about the position of the prince, is it too self-conscious? ”
The last trace of blood on Song Yuanmin's face also faded and became pale as paper.
Song Yuanxi rolled up the edict and handed it to Gu Ziyi's hand, his expression turned cold: "If it weren't for the jade seal in your hand, do you think this king would allow you to be powerful and live until now?" Stealing jade seals, mutilating siblings, committing rebellion, killing kings and seizing the throne, which one is not a capital crime? ! Which one of these piles has wronged you?! ”
And the future crown princess under house arrest, the future queen! This alone is enough for him to split his five horses and put him to death!
His heart was furious, and a cold cold light burst out of his eyes, forcing Song Yuan Min Shengsheng to shudder.
It's too cheap to just let him die!
Song Yuanxi waved his hand and asked people to take Song Yuanmin down and put him in prison, where he would go through the eighteen kinds of torture first, and then deal with it when he thought about it. put Concubine Shu under house arrest in Fanghua Palace, and wait for Emperor Chu to wake up before falling. He didn't have time to dispose of his women for Emperor Chu, and his own women could handle it himself.
Xiao Hu has been quietly kneeling on the ground, waiting for the fate.
As an old minister of the Three Dynasties, he knows the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king. has lived to this age, and he has long looked down on life and death. But it doesn't matter if he dies alone, if it is the Nine Clans, he will become a sinner of the Xiao family through the ages. The glory of the Xiao family was ruined in his hands, how could he close his eyes with peace of mind, and how could he have the face to meet his ancestors and ancestors when he arrived in the underworld......
A pair of dark soap boots slowly paced in front of him.
Xiao Hu straightened up tremblingly and looked up. only to feel that a domineering aura that reigned over the world enveloped his whole body in an instant, and he saw clearly that standing in front of him was a strategist who looked down on the world.
"Old Marquis Xiao, can you plead guilty?"
He bowed down in a hurry, "Your Highness...... The old minister is guilty, the old minister deserves to die! Please give the old minister a death! ”
"You know ...... good"
Instigating the riots of Gyeongju and taking the opportunity to rob and kill the prince of the dynasty, isn't it all a good thing done by this old man?
"Your Highness...... The old minister deserves death! Please also ask Your Highness to open the net, don't ...... the Xiao family"
He kowtowed hurriedly, his forehead hitting the cold stone bricks with a thumping sound, faintly oozing scarlet blood, which was unbearable.
Xiao Lianxu hurriedly leaned over to help, but was pushed away by Xiao Hu, and then pushed again, so several times, he had to put his palms up, pad on the floor tiles, and catch Xiao Hu's forehead.
Soon, his palms were also covered with blood.
He glanced at Song Yuanxi, who was standing indifferently in front of him, and stopped talking, grandpa had committed such a heinous crime, how could he plead with His Highness the cold face who had always been unsympathetic? His heart is entangled, although the family has never valued him since he was a child, his life in the Xiao family has always been walking on thin ice, and his life is very difficult. But as a child of the Xiao family, he has the blood of the Xiao family in his body, the Xiao family is his clan in the end, and the old man in front of him is his flesh and blood relatives.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he also knelt on the ground, and said to the man in front of him who controlled the life and death of his entire clan: "Please let Your Highness open the net and spare the Xiao family......
Xiao Lianxu was arrogant, he had never begged anyone in his life, but at this moment, the face was like dung in his heart, worthless.
"Captain Xiao, what are you doing? This king promised to spare you from death, and now you have come to beg this king to let your family live, is there a bit of an inch? ”
"I beg Your Highness to be gracious, don't be involved with the Xiao family! Xiao Lianxu is willing to accept it on behalf of his grandfather, please let His Highness execute me! ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hu's body shook fiercely, and he took a deep look at the eldest grandson beside him that he had never looked at directly, and there were tears flashing in his old eyes. Dotard! He's such an old fool! didn't recognize Mingjun's discernment, and even abandoned such a piece of jade that had been in front of him!
He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the old minister deserves death!" It's not a pity to die! But Xu'er is still young, and he asks His Royal Highness to spare his life and let him serve the country and be loyal to my Great Chu! The old minister knows that he has committed such a heinous crime, and the crime is unforgivable, the old minister ...... The old minister ...... "He suddenly straightened up and slammed into the pillar beside him.
"Grandpa!" Xiao Lianxu exclaimed, flew forward, and stopped in front of Xiao Hu.
Song Yuanxi: "......"
It's really not a pity that Xiao Hu, this old thing, is dead, but Xiao Lianxu is still available, and it's a pity to die. What's more, the Xiao family is not like the Xue family, which has been entrenched in Dachu for so many years, and the forces behind it are intertwined, and it is not so easy to uproot. Moreover, even if it is uprooted, it will be even more troublesome to bother cultivating a new family.
simply, just sell Xiao Lianxu a face! It is not a good thing to let him serve this kindness in the future.
"That's it, this king is thinking that the old Marquis Xiao is old and the old minister of the three dynasties, so he will spare you from death, demote you to a concubine, and you will not be allowed to enter Chujing again in this life! Let's find a place to spend your old age in peace......"
Xiao Hu's eyes widened in disbelief, and his wrinkled forehead was covered with blood, making him look old.
After half a ring, he came back to his senses and leaned over to thank him: "Old man, His Royal Highness King Xie Ling's grace not to kill......"
"Don't thank this king, if you want to thank you, thank you that the Xiao family has a good descendant......"
Xiao Hu fell to the ground with old tears, Xiao Lianxu bowed deeply to Song Yuanxi, and his heart was full of gratitude.
This is probably the best result.
***
Chu Palace five days later.
Xia Taozhi was sleeping in the dormitory of Qinglong Hall with her eyes closed. This is the palace that was temporarily packed out for her to live temporarily, and after a few days, she will move to the East Palace as soon as the ceremony is over.
In the past few days, the palace is full of joy, everyone is busy, they are busy preparing for the ceremony, and the entire East Palace is newly decorated, in order to welcome its new owner. The edict of the prince has been announced to the world, the emperor of Chu set up the third prince Song Yuanxi as the new prince of Chu, these days Xia Taozhi lived in this Qinglong hall people come and go, come and send congratulatory gifts too many people to count. Even the prince of Xitu made a special trip to send a congratulatory gift to celebrate.
The tsundere prince is finally a veritable prince, who has been the prince of two countries at the same time, I am afraid that there is no one before and after him, and he can only be found in heaven and earth!
Emperor Chu's illness has not improved, although people are awake, the poison has been solved, but the face has not been very good, weak, tired appearance, most of the time is still bedridden, wake up in addition to promulgating the will of the prince and the concubine into the cold palace, then the big and small affairs of the court are left to the tsundere prince to deal with, he simply started to be the shopkeeper.
The tsundere prince was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he often disappeared.
Xia Taozhi secretly suspected in her heart that there was something wrong with the medicine that the dead old man gave to Emperor Chu, and wanted to find an opportunity to ask, but the master had disappeared since that day, and it was even more difficult to find him!
She was thinking when a shadow pushed the door open.
She opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at the woman who was slowly walking in.
