Chapter 120: Dilemma
The prime minister reacted quickly, but after looking at Shangguan Ye and looking at Murong Qiufeng, his expression became a little subtle, his face was a little ruddy, he seemed to be a little excited, and he coughed a few more times.
These few sounds suddenly brought several people back to their senses,
"Oh, master," the prime minister's wife hurriedly went to stroke the prime minister's chest, and Murong Qiufeng also went over, helped the prime minister, and asked him to sit up first to breathe, "Father, why don't I go and ask the master to go down the mountain and have a look,"
"Hey, no, no, it's just a cold, don't bother your master, madam, you go get some soup to moisten your throat,"
"Well, then you have a good talk," the prime minister's wife was also shrewd, and immediately understood that they had something to talk about, so she left first,
"Lord Wang, please sit down, Feng'er, you also sit down, my father has something to ask you,"
Shangguan Ye was not polite, so he sat down on another chair in the room, but did not speak,
Murong Qiufeng nodded, sat down on the chair next to the bed, a little nervous, and didn't understand what his father was going to ask,
Murong Xing eased his breath a little, cleared his throat, and asked, "Feng'er, tell your father, how is it outside now?"
"This," Murong Qiufeng's heart tightened, and he frowned slightly, "Father, ...... now"
"Don't say it's okay or anything, it's probably like that, but my father knows it in his heart, so you don't have to think about hiding it, your eldest brother ...... I'm going to hear the truth,"
Murong Qiufeng's heart sank, and then he sighed, sure enough, he still couldn't hide it, but he didn't know what to say,
Shangguan Ye looked at him embarrassed and spoke for him, "Murong Hao's matter is already conclusive, I guess ...... Hou Qianxing also almost came to the door,"
Although he had guessed in advance and had made mental preparations for a long time, Murong Xing was still hit hard, his head was dizzy, and he coughed even more.
Murong Qiufeng hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and helped him press a few acupoints, "Father, the matter of the eldest brother, Feng'er will find a way, father don't worry, you have to take care of your body first, this prime minister's mansion also needs your father to preside over the overall situation,"
Murong Xing shook his head, waved his hand, and seemed to be much older in an instant, "No need, don't work for him, this is the rebel son who suffers on his own, Lord Wang, if the rebel son ...... Lord Wang, please don't be embarrassed, deal with it impartially, if you need the cooperation of the lower officials, even if you tell them, it's just a pity, the lower officials have been officials for forty years, and they have done their best for Yanguo, but they have been stained because of this,"
"One person does things and one person is responsible, Xiangye has worked hard for Yanguo, and he will definitely be able to leave a name in history, as for Murong Hao...... Maybe you can only exchange less for more,"
Murong Xing closed his eyes a little tiredly, as if he was afraid of old tears,
Murong Qiufeng listened, and was very sad in his heart, although he didn't get along much since he was a child, and he didn't have much affection between them, but after all, he was also a blood related eldest brother.
"Of course, it's not that there is no way, if Murong Hao is willing to cooperate, maybe he can still make meritorious contributions, although he is still not immune to the guilt, but he can also save his life,
"Young Master, Young Master,...... Ah......h
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from outside,
A guard originally came to inform Hou Qianxing that he was coming, but he didn't want to meet Murong Hao who was hurrying to leave at the door, so he screamed suspiciously, but he didn't want Murong Hao to take out a sharp dagger directly from his sleeve and stab him.
Several people in the room were surprised when they heard the scream,
Shangguan Ye had already taken the lead in walking out, and Murong Qiufeng followed,
When I opened the door, I didn't have to go out, but I could see a bloodied guard at the door, and a dagger stuck in his waist and abdomen, and he was dying.
The two glanced at each other, presumably having guessed what was going on, and hurriedly chased out, just as Hou Qianxing had already scattered with people looking for people, and he was also walking towards this side with people.
"But I can see Murong Hao," Shangguan Ye stepped forward and asked directly, Hou Qianxing was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, "No, what's wrong,"
The faces of the two changed slightly, Murong Qiufeng's eyes widened even more, and he secretly said badly, and hurriedly returned to Xiangye's courtyard,
Shangguan Ye's face was gloomy, and he also followed, Hou Qianxing didn't see it, and it was impossible for him to escape from the courtyard in such a short time without being discovered by Hou Qianxing who came over, that is to say, he was still hiding in the courtyard,
"Big brother, what are you doing,"
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Murong Qiufeng slowly withdrawing from the back of the room, and his voice was very eager and painful,
When he retreated to the courtyard, he saw Murong Hao holding the dagger that was originally inserted in the guard's body, and holding the prime minister's shoulder with one hand, and the dagger was resting on his throat.
At this moment, half of his face was covered with blood, a pair of eyes with red silk, looking a little hideous, fearful with unwillingness, and the hand holding the dagger trembled from time to time, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, otherwise I'm welcome,"
Murong Xing, on the other hand, had a calm face, but the pain in his eyes was obviously abnormal.
"Big brother, you can see clearly, this is a father, can you also do it," Murong Qiufeng's face was a little pale, angry and worried, his eyes kept on the dagger, and he was afraid of irritating Murong Hao when he spoke, so he was worried that if he was not careful, then it would be over......
"Ah, sir......, Hao'er, what are you doing," the prime minister's wife rushed to hear the voice, and immediately screamed, and her face turned pale,
Murong Hao's eyes widened with ferocity, and he said in a vicious voice, "I naturally know what I'm doing, I don't need you to remind me one by one, get out of the way, let me leave, otherwise the sword will have no eyes,"
Hou Qianxing was also so angry that his face turned pale, "Murong Hao, even your own father can do it, are you still human?"
"I don't need you to preach, father, hmph, maybe he never treated me as a son, in his eyes, his son is only Murong Qiufeng, what am I, but an illegitimate child, just an assistant he cultivated to assist Murong Qiufeng, he thinks of everything, what do I get for this family in the end, when Murong Qiufeng comes, nothing belongs to me, this is simply making a wedding dress for others, what is good for him, nothing, why should he hand over the family to him,"
"Hao'er, what are you talking about, the master never thought of handing over Murong to Feng'er, his preferred heir has always been you," the prime minister's wife burst into tears,
Murong Hao sneered, "Don't call it so nicely, you are the same, you only have your own children in your heart, don't think that you have always looked at me unpleasantly, what kind of mother and son filial piety is just the surface, I am not as good as him, but I am just a sick man, why when he comes, everyone's hearts are towards him, even the prince and the emperor are towards him,"
Murong Qiufeng's face was so white that it seemed to be a big blow, it turned out that Murong Hao would go down the wrong path, it was because of him,
"You can't compare to him in anything, even if it's a strand of hair," In the chaos, Shangguan Ye's voice suddenly sounded, calm, powerful and calm, and it seemed to have some infectious power, which made everyone's nervous hearts feel a little relieved, listening to the content of his words at that time, but everyone's faces changed greatly, and their hearts rose to their throats, isn't this deliberately stimulating him,
