Volume 2 The General Star of the Pavilion Chapter 278 Father and Son Are Frank?

Although he knew that the worst could happen, Zheng Xun still did not intend to sit still.

He pretended to be dazed and asked, "Father, what are you talking about?" What's on the road? What is this?"

Emperor Yongning was not angry, and still said in a gentle voice: "Deng Wuwu, a highly poisonous thing, half a plant can kill people, there are three existing plants in the national dynasty, and they have been stored in the inner library. When you left the palace to open the mansion, you took the opportunity of entering the inner library to select utensils, and bribed Dong Xuan, the deputy head of the inner library at that time, and used his nephew as a bait for him, in exchange for a plant that was worry-free."

He watched Zheng Xun's face grow pale, and asked calmly, "I'm right?"

Zheng Xun looked up at his father, opened his mouth, and the words stuck in his throat.

Yes, that's right!

It was as if his father was present at the time and saw it with his own eyes, and even Dong Xuan, the deputy head of the internal service, found out.

You must know that Dong Yi was already sick at that time, and he died soon after, and his nephew had already left Jingzhao, and he had already sent someone to kill him.

It can be said that there is no proof of death.

There is no proof of death, it is clear that his every move is under the control of someone with a heart!

It seems that he is worried that there are hidden dangers in this matter, and he has been afraid of nothing for all these years, which is right.

But he didn't move, someone still pushed him to move, and as soon as he moved, he was choked by the throat.

In the face of his father's questioning, he was completely irrefutable.

It is true that he took the opportunity to open the palace in exchange for Deng Wuwu, and it is also true that he bribed Dong Xuan.

However, he only replaced half of the plant, and there was not one!

Emperor Yongning didn't give him a chance to argue, and continued, "This Zhu Deng is worry-free, you have been useless. Cheng Yong's second grandson has close contacts with you, and he wants to control the Cheng family, so you can't tolerate Cheng Yong, in order to avoid people's eyes, this time you used half of the plant to climb without worry. In order to win people's hearts, in order to deal with Changding, you are very willing. Am I right?"

Zheng Xun's eyes widened, and he shook his head meaningfully, but stopped halfway through his movements.

It is true that he contacted Cheng Yong's second grandson through his uncle, and it is also true that he was dissatisfied with Cheng Yong's obstruction, but ...... He didn't use Deng Wuwu to poison Cheng Yong!

Cheng Yong's life is more valuable than Cheng Yong's death, Cheng Ke can really take advantage of Cheng Yong's momentum, why did he poison Cheng Yong?

What's more, Deng Wuwu is so precious, not to mention that he has lost the half of Deng Wuwu in his hands, even if he has it, it is impossible to use it to poison Cheng Yong.

There is a way to let Cheng Yong die, why did he use Deng Wuwu, who took so much risk to get out?

There is also a long ...... He wanted to use Changding to achieve some goals, but he couldn't really put her to death.

What my father said is not true!

"Father, son, minister......" Zheng Xun was finally able to speak, but all his words of defense were swallowed suddenly after seeing the gentle eyes of the head.

Many of what my father said was wrong, but many of them were true.

The mixing of truth and falsehood will make this matter more credible.

and even ......

Regardless of whether this thing is true or not, from the moment his father knew that he was in exchange for Deng Wuwu, the worst outcome had already occurred.

Does the father care about the death of a patriarch of the Three Dynasties? Do you care if he deals with Changding?

No, what the father really cares about is the fact that he is in exchange for Deng Wuwu!

"Huh?" Emperor Yongning's eyebrows moved, and his tone could be regarded as gentle: "Why don't you continue? I want to hear about it."

Listen to how this superficial prince is quibbling, I hope that he can't support the wall, and he can hide it from him for so long.

If Zhu Yi and Xue Gong hadn't found clues, he would still be kept in the dark now.

Zheng Xun lowered his head, but still did not speak.

He was desperately thinking in his head, what should he say in order to come back? What should I say so that my father can distinguish the truth from the false?

He didn't know yet, but he knew that he couldn't rush, and the more he talked, the more wrong he became.

Emperor Yongning seemed to have endless patience with Zheng Xun, and was still asking, "Tell me, what did you want to do when you changed Deng Wuwu back then?"

This sentence pierced into his heart like a sharp blade, interrupting Zheng Xun's thinking and almost making him jump.

He couldn't help but look up again and look up in horror.

My father would ask that, can this be asked?

Immediately, he lowered his arms in a dejected manner, and the light in his eyes dissipated little by little.

Why can't you ask? What really can't is his answer.

Those secret thoughts, those inflated desires, are only suitable for the growth of his heart, and they cannot see the light at all.

How could he say this?

Emperor Yongning couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment when he saw him becoming frightened little by little: "What? Don't dare to say? If you dare to exchange it for Dengwu, but you dare not say why you did it?"

He glanced Zheng Xun up and down, and said, "Since you have the intention of ascending to the throne of God, you dare not say it? It's strange that I want this throne, so unsightly?"

After that, he also patted the armrest of the dragon chair, as if he was really confused.

With a "bang", all the strength of his body seemed to be drained away, and he fell down and sat in the hall.

His face was bloodless, his lips trembled, and he shook his head and muttered, "Father, the son doesn't dare to ......."

Emperor Yongning smiled and lowered his eyes to look at the hall: "There is no need to be so afraid, even if there is, so what? At the beginning, I was also a non-descendant, and now I am sitting in this position."

Emperor Yongning waited for a long time, and when he saw that Zheng Xun still looked like he had lost his soul, he finally ran out of patience.

He stared at Zheng Xun with a hint of coldness on his face: "I don't think there's anything wrong with my son thinking about the throne, but there is only one thing, I don't allow the person who stares at it to be a stupid person, you know? Tell me, what are you doing this for?"

He really didn't understand what his prince was trying to do so many things.

Since he behaves like a gentleman, then it is better to be a rich idler, and he can't turn a blind eye when he reaches out to get it.

He was furious when he learned that Deng Wuwu had been exchanged, but now, he didn't have any intention of inquiring about this stupid son.

He is in the prime of spring and autumn, and the prince is a thing, and if there is no regeneration, there is no more, and there is no less.

Now he just wants to know, the other half of Zhu Deng is worry-free, where this stupid son is used.

Zheng Xun gasped and said, "Father, son, ......."

He paused, as if to calm his rapidly beating heart, before he said, "Father, the son is not, yes...... It's the prince, it's the prince who framed his son!"

Scenes flashed through his mind, and he was unprecedentedly clear, and his words were unusually clear: "It's the prince, it's the prince who did all this!" He couldn't see his son continue to be a rich idler, nor did he see that the Zhou family was highly respected by scholars. He was afraid that his retainers would threaten him, and that he would be in an unstable position!"

Emperor Yongning stared at him deeply as if he had met Zheng Xun for the first time: "Prince?"
