(Cat flutter Chinese) "Click-"

The crisp sound was almost deafening in the imperial study where the needles could be heard, and Emperor Dezhao and Xuan Ming followed the sound and saw Ye Qingcheng hanging his head, staring at his blood-soaked hands with some blank eyes, and the jade cicada that was broken into several pieces and stained with blood.

His palm was only subconsciously spread out for a moment, and then he immediately held it again, blood dripping down his fingers, and he didn't know if the fragments stabbed his palm again.

Although it was only a glimpse, Emperor Dezhao and Xuan Ming also saw clearly that the jade cicada was carved and ground from the finest jade, although it had been broken into several pieces, but it could still be seen that its carving was very exquisite, especially a pair of wings, which were as light and straight as if they could spread their wings and fly.

When Ye Qingcheng spoke just now, his right hand was indeed clenched into a fist, Emperor Dezhao and Xuan Ming both noticed it, although they felt strange, they didn't think much about it, they didn't want to hold such a jade cicada in his hand.

Emperor Dezhao squinted, the jade cicada was a little familiar-

Xuan Ming's mouth moved, and he swallowed the words again.

Emperor Dezhao's brows suddenly furrowed, "Ah Ming, what do you want to say?" ”

"No—"

Emperor Dezhao broke off, "You also want to deceive me?" ”

Xuan Ming was silent, took two steps back, and knelt down on one knee, "The emperor's grandfather is angry, the minister seems to have seen a similar jade cicada in the emperor's uncle's study this morning, but I don't know if it's the same one."

Saying this, Emperor Dezhao also remembered that Xiao An did have a similar jade cicada, and when Xiao An left the palace to open the mansion when he was an adult, he personally accompanied Concubine Hua Guifei to the private treasury to pick it up.

At that time, Hua Guifei also sighed that Xiao An was very naughty when he was a child, and during the summer lunch break, he always took advantage of the inattention of the grandmother and maid to secretly run to the yard to know, and now I think about it as if it was just yesterday, and I don't want to open the mansion as an adult in the blink of an eye, so I deliberately picked the jade cicada.

Xiao An really likes it very much, and it has always been placed in the most conspicuous place in the outer study, and even he has seen it a few times.

And what Xuan Ming just said undoubtedly proves Xiao An's love for this jade cicada once again.

And now, a jade cicada with an almost similar appearance appeared in Ye Qingcheng's hand, or, should he say, the same jade cicada?

Xuan Ming saw Emperor Dezhao staring at Ye Qingcheng's clenched right hand tightly, his already gloomy face became more and more cloudy, and he blurted out in a hurry, "Grandfather Huang, this jade cicada is something I played with casually, and I forgot to return it to the imperial uncle for a while, so I handed it over to Brother Cheng and returned it to the imperial uncle."

Emperor Dezhao laughed angrily at him, "Are you defending your imperial uncle or Brother Cheng?" ”

Xuan Ming was stunned, wasn't he defending Ye Qingcheng by saying this? How could it be on the emperor's uncle?

"Huh?"

Xuan Ming didn't understand Emperor Dezhao's words at all, and seeing that Emperor Dezhao's face was not worried, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Imperial grandfather Mingjian, even if the imperial uncle kidnaps Ye Qingshu, Brother Cheng will not secretly take away the emperor's beloved things to vent his hatred!" ”

Well, he can only help him get here, and there is nothing he can do about the rest!

Emperor Dezhao, "......"

Ye Qingcheng, "......"

Emperor Dezhao laughed angrily at him again, "So, when you saw Brother Cheng take a jade cicada that is exactly the same as your imperial uncle, what you thought was that Brother Cheng stole your imperial uncle's things to vent his hatred?" ”

Xuan Ming finally reacted, this kind of thing, Yan Yang is naturally very likely to do it, but Ye Qingcheng, it seems, it seems, it is unlikely, oh?

Seeing that Emperor Dezhao was still staring at himself with burning eyes, he looked like he was going crazy if he didn't make it clear, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "It's the minister who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the emperor's grandfather forgives his sins."

Emperor Dezhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and his gaze fell on Ye Qingcheng again, "Brother Cheng, you say, did you steal this jade cicada from your father?" ”

"It's not!"

Ye Qingcheng straightened up in a hurry, leaned down deeply, and said astringently, "Imperial grandfather Mingjian, this jade cicada is, when he left the outer study, his father gave it to his son-"

Really!

A simple sentence, but like a fine needle piercing a balloon, Emperor Dezhao's tense anger dissipated, and he sat back on the dragon chair with a weak wave, "That's it, Ah Ming, take him to treat the wound, Xuan Peng Yizheng."

……

……

After Xuan Ming and Ye Qingcheng left, Emperor Dezhao was the only one left in the spacious and empty imperial study, and he stared at the direction where Xuan Ming and the others left for a long time, and suddenly collapsed his shoulders, and his straight back was bent down.

"From today on, you are the prince of Da Xiao, no matter when, your back cannot be bent."

This was the first thing his father said to him after he was crowned the crown prince, and for so many years, he has been deeply engraved in his mind, and he has not dared to slack off for a moment.

But now, he really can't stand it!

His good sons!

The abolished prince is a good woman, but he has always been unwilling to give up on him, and has been trying his best to teach him to love him, but he was so disappointed that in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, abolished his crown prince, and imprisoned him in the East Palace.

King Qin's biological mother was a lowly palace maid, and the lowly blood flowing in her body made him reluctant to even look at him more.

King Ning had no face to toss because of Ye Qingling, and he was completely powerless, and he couldn't even suppress the woman in the back house, and Concubine Yuwen and Yuwen Mansion didn't know what to say, which made him extremely disappointed.

King An has been steady and intelligent since he was a child, and he has always been the most pampered and pityd, even if he pretended to be crippled for many years and concealed and deceived him, he tolerated it.

Unexpectedly, in private, he was even more unbearable, so unbearable that he could get involved with his son's thirteen-year-old sister-in-law!

I can't bear to use such a drug to my own son and sister like that!

But he couldn't even play with his own son, he had a lot of calculations and planned for a long time, and he was caught by Ye Qingcheng's tail in just a few days, and he was still in his Anwang Mansion, and he rescued people under his nose!

Afterwards, Tian shamelessly threatened Ye Qingcheng with what jade cicada was not allowed to tell the matter!

How did he live all this!

He once again remembered what Emperor Naruhito said to him before he died, "You must have a clear understanding of yourself, you are not as intelligent and inquisitive as your mother praised you, you are wise and foolish, and you can honestly do what I say, so that you can sit firmly in this country."

He never dared to compare himself with his father, who was wise and martial, who could save the country from the danger of the country with his own strength, and cleaned up the mess left by Emperor Dewu with his own strength.

Therefore, he has always honestly followed what his father said, "Xiao rules and Cao Sui", and never dared to exceed the rules.

Because of it, he also won the courtiers, the people, and the people of the world called the generous and benevolent king.

He is usually a little complacent, but now, he just wants to slap himself hard to wake himself up!

He didn't even discipline his son well!

I didn't even discipline the minions around me!

Even his son colluded with the minions around him to frame his daughter and grandson, it wasn't Ye Qingcheng who was alert, he was still in the dark!

If one family is not governed, how can the world be governed!
