Chapter 81: Wronged

Xiao Ruoxi trembled his hands, picked up the letter in front of him, and unfolded it to see that it was indeed Chu Xiuhan's handwriting.

"Father, this must be someone who imitated the prince's handwriting and deliberately framed the prince, and it is absolutely impossible for the prince to have an affair with a foreign clan."

She has to do a full set of plays, no matter whether Chu Xiuhan has fornication with foreigners or not, anyway, she just needs to insist on Chu Xiuhan's innocence.

"I don't want to believe that Han'er will have an affair with a foreigner, but this evidence is in front of me......"

Chu Duan also sighed helplessly, this evidence is here, even if he believes that Han'er did not have an affair with a foreigner, how can he convince the courtiers to believe it?

"Father, you also saw the flood in Jiangzhou before, in order to relieve those victims, the prince worked tirelessly, in order to recover the disaster silver, and even fought with the Lishan bandits overnight, the prince's move is all for the sake of the people of our Chu country, and now the people of Jiangzhou are all in love with the prince, let me ask, how can such His Royal Highness the King of Han do such a heinous thing as collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

Xiao Ruoxi kept crying, she didn't believe it, this emperor Laozi's heart was really harder than the stone, and he really could kill his own son.

Listening to Xiao Ruoxi's words, Chu Duan just kept frowning, but didn't say anything, and the atmosphere remained deadlocked.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng asks to see you."

It wasn't until Grandpa Zhang's voice came from outside the door that Chu Duan's brows finally eased a little.

"Let him in!"

Chu Duan shouted outside the door, then looked down at Xiao Ruoxi, and said:

"I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, you go back first!"

"Thank you father, my son's resignation."

Now that she has the emperor's promise, she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore, at least, the emperor still cares about his son.

The Imperial Study itself was a place where the emperor used to discuss political affairs with his courtiers in private.

Now that her father has something to ask to see the emperor, he must have something important, and she is really not suitable to stay here anymore.

Finally, he saluted the emperor, and Xiao Ruoxi retreated.

When I walked to the door of the imperial study, I happened to meet Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, who was walking in at the moment.

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng obviously didn't expect Xiao Ruoxi to be in the emperor's imperial study, and he was a little stunned for a while.

However, when he saw the tears on Xiao Ruoxi's face that had not dried up, the stunned on his face instantly turned into a touch of worry.

"Daddy."

Xiao Ruoxi bowed to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and got up, but saw the slightly comforting look in Prime Minister Xiao's eyes.

But after all, this is in the emperor's imperial study, not a place for her to chat with Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, Xiao Ruoxi made a salute and walked out of the imperial study.

"The ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

As soon as Prime Minister Xiao entered the imperial study, he prostrated on the ground and gave Chu Duan a big salute.

"Let's get flat!"

Chu Duan put aside the piece in his hand, looked down at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng from top to bottom, and said:

"Aiqing came to me, what is the matter?"

At this moment, Chu Duan's face was already tired, and he had long lost his previous spirit when he spoke.

"For today's early dynasty, Li Lei's impeachment of His Royal Highness King Han is here."

Prime Minister Xiao stood up and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Hearing this, Chu Duan leaned forward slightly, stared at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, and looked at it for a long time before he said slowly:

"Does Xiao Aiqing also want to wade into this troubled water?"

"Lao Chen doesn't think it's a trip to troubled waters."

Chu Duan's words, Xiao Qian naturally knew what they meant.

His daughter is Princess Han, and now His Royal Highness King Han has committed this crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the emperor has not arrested his Xiao family together, but has already opened up to him.

Now that he came to Chu Duan to talk about this matter, he undoubtedly knew that it was a nail, but he still had to touch it himself.

"Xiao Aiqing also thinks that King Han was wronged?"

Chu Duan stared at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's face motionlessly, and said faintly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must have been deliberately framed by His Royal Highness King Han, with the conduct of His Royal Highness King Han, whether it was to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, or to go to Jiangzhou to treat the flood, His Royal Highness King Han's various behaviors all show loyalty to the court, so the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Han will never do such a ridiculous thing as collaborating with the enemy and treason."

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng swore that if Chu Xiuhan's charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason was confirmed, his daughter would also be implicated.

"Then Aiqing thinks who deliberately framed the prince in this matter?"

Chu Duan's voice suddenly turned cold, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng instantly broke out in a cold sweat for a lifetime.

Framing the prince? If it were an ordinary person, who would have the guts.

So there is no doubt that this must be something that only people in the royal family who have the same power as Chu Xiuhan dare to do.

But it was precisely because he was in the royal family that he did not dare to speculate at will.

"Minister...... Ignorance! ”

Prime Minister Xiao buried his head and said in a trembling voice.

"I don't know? Then what evidence do you have to prove that King Han was falsely accused? ”

Chu Duan suddenly raised his voice, and the anger in it was clearly visible, so frightened that Prime Minister Xiao immediately knelt on the ground to apologize.

"The minister deserves to die, I hope the emperor will forgive his sins!"

Chu Duan frowned, and said impatiently:

"Get up!"

Chu Duan was also very annoyed, he also believed that Chu Xiuhan would not do such a thing, but this was in the royal family, just believing it would not have any effect, and he had to come up with evidence to convince others.

"Your Majesty."

After receiving the emperor's pardon, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng stood up from the ground tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Han's temperament is very similar to Concubine Li back then, he would never do such a rebellious thing."

Prime Minister Xiao lowered his head and said cautiously, if there was really no other way, he would not move Concubine Li out.

He only hoped that Chu Duan could remember the relationship with Concubine Li in the past and open up to His Royal Highness King Han.

Sure enough, when Chu Duan heard the words "Li Guifei", his face was obviously stunned.

After a long time, I heard Chu Duan sigh and say:

"Go down first! The matter ...... I've got my own discretion. ”

"I hope the emperor will not forget Concubine Li's last wish before her death, and the old minister will retire."

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng said one last word, then turned around and exited the imperial study.

Looking at Chu Duan's reaction just now, Xiao Qian knew that even if Chu Xiuhan's charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason was really confirmed in the end.

Chu Duan will also think of the relationship with Concubine Li in the past, and open up to Chu Xiuhan.

Although it will not save him unscathed, at least I will do my best to save his life.

Xiao Ruoxi left the palace and hurried back to the Han Palace.

Although she knew that Chu Duan trusted Chu Xiuhan, in this power-supreme emperor's family, trust alone could not play any role at all.

To completely clear Chu Xiuhan's charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, she can only find evidence that Chu Xiuhan was framed.

Xiao Ruoxi got out of the carriage, and the housekeeper came forward, saying that Su Ye was waiting for her in the study at the moment, and he was looking for her for something important.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoxi did not delay, and hurriedly went straight to Chu Xiuhan's study.
