Chapter 123: Xingshi asks for sin
However, Chu Xiuyan didn't glance at Li Lei at all, and walked straight to the imperial study.
In his eyes, Li Lei is a villain who tends to be inflammatory, this kind of person is not worthy of being treated squarely.
Although he didn't get Chu Xiuyan's attention, Li Lei didn't care, and after Chu Xiuyan walked over, Li Lei straightened up and looked at Chu Xiuyan's back that gradually disappeared from sight, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, Li Lei shook off his wide sleeved robe and swaggered out of the imperial study.
"My brother has seen the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Walking into the imperial study, Chu Xiuyan first made a courtesy to Chu Xiuran, who was sitting in front of the bookcase.
"Get up!"
Chu Xiuran glanced at Chu Xiuyan, who was kneeling, and said casually.
"Your Majesty."
"Second brother, why did you come to me today?!"
When Chu Xiuyan stood up, Chu Xiuyan looked him up and down, and he couldn't guess Chu Xiuyan's intention to come here, in his impression, Chu Xiuyan seemed to have never participated in these court disputes.
"Brother Han heard that the emperor put Princess Han in prison, I don't know what crime Princess Han has committed?"
Chu Xiuyan stood up, his eyes drooping slightly, and he said unhurriedly.
However, when Chu Xiuran heard this, his expression turned grim, and he looked at Chu Xiuyan, his eyes were full of suspicion, and said:
"I wonder where the second brother heard about this?"
I didn't expect this matter to reach Chu Xiuyan's ears so quickly.
"It was the two maids beside Princess Han who came to my Yanwang Mansion for help, and the younger brother learned about it."
Chu Xiuyan didn't mean to hide it, he said it directly, besides, he also felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter.
"How could the maid of the Han King's Mansion run to your Yanwang Mansion to ask for help?" Chu Xiuran looked sideways slightly, looking at Chu Xiuyan with a deep gaze.
The more he looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong with Chu Xiuyan, His Royal Highness King Yan, who had never participated in court disputes before, had recently found him again and again for the affairs of the Han Palace.
Could it be ...... He and Chu Xiuhan have been in the same faction from the beginning?
Facing Chu Xiuran's scrutinizing gaze, Chu Xiuyan was not afraid, he simply raised his head, looked directly at Chu Xiuran, and said:
"Those two girls went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they were kicked out, and in desperation, they came to my Yanwang Mansion for help."
"So what is the purpose of the second brother's visit to see me today?" Chu Xiuran leaned lazily on the back of the chair behind him, reached out and rubbed his temples, half-believing Chu Xiuyan's words.
"The younger brother begged the emperor to let Princess Han go."
Chu Xiuran's body shook when he heard this, and he sat up, staring at Chu Xiuyan with his eyes like a torch, as if he wanted to stare out of a hole in his body.
"Do you know what crime she committed?"
Of course Chu Xiuyan knew, he bowed his head and said respectfully to Chu Xiuran:
"The younger brother heard that the little prince is fine, and it was Princess Han who rescued the little prince at the first time, let me ask the emperor, if Princess Han really wants to poison the little prince, how can she save the little prince in turn?"
"Maybe she regretted it, she was scared, afraid that I would kill her." Chu Xiuran said without thinking about it.
"If this matter is really done by Princess Han, she will die horizontally and vertically, and she will not have the need to save the little prince at all."
Although he didn't understand what was going on in this matter, Chu Xiuyan was very determined, and it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Ruoxi to do this to a child.
"Besides, the third brother is now fighting bravely at the border pass, how could she, as the wife of the third brother, do such an embarrassing thing in Kyoto?"
Seeing that Chu Xiuran didn't speak, Chu Xiuyan continued, but as soon as he said this, Chu Xiuran instantly became angry.
"Are you threatening me?"
Chu Xiu's eyes lit up like fire, as if he would spew out a handful of anger and burn everything at any time, which was enough to prove that he was in a bad mood now.
"The younger brother is just telling the truth, I hope the emperor will think carefully and not make a decision that he regrets."
Compared with Chu Xiuran's anger, Chu Xiuyan was much calmer, and his tone was still unhurried.
"Presumptuous."
Chu Xiuran was so angry that he patted the bookcase and stood up from the chair.
When he was still the crown prince, Chu Xiuhan was his biggest threat, and now that he has ascended the throne and become emperor, there are still people who want to use Chu Xiuhan to threaten him.
It seems that Chu Xiuhan had to get rid of it, maybe ...... He really should consider accepting Li Lei's opinion.
"The courtiers say a lot, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sins."
Seeing that Chu Xiuran was really angry, Chu Xiuyan knelt on the ground with a puff and confessed his guilt to Chu Xiuran.
Words?? Where is he talking too much, it is clear that he thinks he is too little to say and he is angry.
Chu Xiuran sat back on the chair, and his eyes looked back and forth on Chu Xiuyan's body for a long time, before taking a deep breath and saying:
"Get up!"
"Your Majesty."
"Fortunately, Princess Han didn't make a big mistake today, I put her in the prison, but it was just a small punishment for her, and there was no other meaning, you immediately respected my insistence and went to the prison to let her out!"
Calming down, Chu Xiuran thought twice, he understood that it was not a wise move to really punish Xiao Ruoxi now.
Fortunately, today's incident did not cause any major losses, even if he came out as her for the time being.
"Brother's order."
Hearing that Chu Xiuran was willing to let Xiao Ruoxi go, the corners of Chu Xiuyan's mouth unconsciously raised a curvature, received the order, knelt down to say goodbye to Chu Xiuran, and went out of the imperial study and went straight to the direction of the prison.
Chu Xiuran looked at Chu Xiuyan's figure that gradually disappeared from sight, and the words that Chu Xiuyan had just said were still ringing in his ears.
In his eyes, a touch of fierceness swept through, and he said coldly to Chen Gonggong beside him: "Intended purpose." ”
He felt that it was necessary for him to implement Li Lei's suggestion as soon as possible.
In the dark and damp prison, Xiao Ruoxi didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and he moved his body, only feeling a pain in his chest, and secretly cursed Chu Xiuran in his heart.
Forcibly supporting his body to get up from the ground, he shook his head, opened his misty eyes, and saw a richly dressed woman standing in front of him.
"Concubine Niangniang?"
After seeing the person in front of her clearly, Xiao Ruoxi was a little puzzled, what did she do? The dungeon is such a dirty place, she comes...... Does the teacher ask for sin?
Thinking of this, a sneer rose at the corner of Xiao Ruoxi's mouth, and he secretly took two steps back and sat down on a broken straw mat on the ground.
Kindly saved her son, but she was considered to be the murderer who wanted to poison her son, she Xiao Ruoxi is not a virgin, and she is not so broad-minded, she is angry when she looks at this woman now.
Concubine Liu didn't care about Xiao Ruoxi's rudeness when she saw her, but took two steps forward, stood in front of her, looked at her condescendingly, and said in a very soft voice even if she was angry:
"Why did you poison Hongu's son, and what good is it for you?"
