Chapter 393 When Hu Hai woke up, he found himself lying in a haystack, and Qin Xi was sitting on the haystack in front of him.

Hu Hai was startled and hurriedly got up, but the pain in his neck made Hu Hai take a breath of cold air, and then Hu Hai also found out that he was in prison.

"Qin Xi! What do you mean! Locked me up in a place like this! Hu Hai shouted angrily at Qin Xi.

Qin Xi said lightly: "Didn't you come to this kind of place by yourself?" Don't you know what it means to see me take the Praetorian Guards to arrest you? Your Majesty is very angry about this, and I have to teach you a lesson. ”

"What's the matter? What made my father angry? What are you talking about? I don't understand. Hu Hai said as he curled up against the wall.

Qin Xi looked at Hu Hai and said, "Do you think that if you control those people's families, you won't say it?" When you grasp someone's weakness, once that weakness is no longer there, they say it all. ”

"The people you sent out, after they were captured, the secret guards rescued their families, so they didn't hesitate to confess you." Qin Xi leaned against the door of the prison and said.

"Impossible! They're all slowly dying! And so are their families! Hu Hai hurriedly covered his mouth after saying this.

Qin Xi smiled: "I'm really afraid that you won't admit it, just admit it." ”

"Admit what! I didn't say anything! Hum! You have framed me! Hu Hai said angrily. Qin Xi smiled slightly and said: "So far, I can see that in this matter, it is you who arranged the action, but it should not be you who came up with this plan, and arranging people in the secret guard should not be something you can do, I think there should be someone behind you." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about at all, fourth brother, I know you hate me and think that I will compete with you for the crown prince, but I haven't thought about being a prince at all, it's the second brother who has always wanted to be a prince! Fourth brother, let me out, I feel so scared here! Hu Hai climbed in front of Qin Xi and said.

Qin Xi looked at Hu Hai and said: "I really admire you, doing such an important thing, you actually used your own doormen, and also killed the families of your own doormen, I estimate that those doormen raised by your kid should run away after hearing that you were arrested." But don't worry, this matter didn't get out. Qin Xi pushed Hu Hai down and said, "Tell me, who is planning behind your back, as long as you say it, you can leave the Praetorian Guard prison." ”

"Qin Xi! Don't go too far! I didn't know anything about this from beginning to end! Hu Hai grabbed the hay and threw it at Qin Xi.

Qin Xi patted off the hay on his body, stood up and said, "You don't talk about this matter, you have to be locked up here for a few days, at least until Your Majesty's anger is gone." As for the person behind your back who gave you advice, the secret guard will continue to track it down, and sooner or later there will be results. Saying that, Qin Xi opened the cell door and walked out, and the Praetorian Guards locked the prison with their backhands amid Hu Hai's shouts.

After no one was around, Hu Hai suddenly quieted down and shrank in the corner, with fear, regret, and anger in his eyes.

On the other side, Hu Hai's mother, Concubine Hu, knelt outside the first emperor's bedroom for more than an hour, and before she had the intention of getting up, she pushed away the water brought by the palace maid and the futon sent by her.

The First Emperor didn't know where he had just gone, and when he returned to the palace, his hands were covered with blood. After learning that Imperial Concubine Hu was kneeling outside the palace and begging to see her, she pushed away the water brought by the eunuch to wash her hands, took off her shoes and went to the couch directly, and said, "Let her in." "Imperial Concubine Hu was finally summoned, and she was relieved in her heart, she was afraid that if the First Emperor didn't see her, then everything would really be over.

Then as soon as I stood up, I fell, just because I knelt for too long, and my legs were already weak. But Imperial Concubine Hu still refused the support of the palace maid and eunuch, stood together, and then limped into the first emperor's bedroom.

"Orchid, see Your Majesty." After seeing the First Emperor, Concubine Hu saluted the First Emperor from afar.

The First Emperor pointed to the side with a blood-soaked finger and said, "I've been kneeling for a long time, come and sit." ”

"No." After Concubine Hu saw the First Emperor's hand, she was immediately shocked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you. ”

"The secret guard's house is not clean, I went to clean it, and if there are disobedient people, blood will be splashed on my hands, it's okay." The First Emperor laughed.

Concubine Hu trembled suddenly, the house of the secret guard, that is not to clean the secret guard, the blood on his hands must have killed a lot of people.

The heart that Concubine Hu had just put down at this time was lifted again. The First Emperor said, "Sit down, I've been kneeling for so long, I'm tired." ”

"Orchid doesn't dare, Orchid is at fault, Orchid doesn't dare to sit." Concubine Hu knelt directly in front of the First Emperor.

As soon as the First Emperor beckoned, the eunuch immediately brought a basin of water, and the First Emperor carefully washed his hands without speaking.

Orchid fell to her knees, completely oblivious to the pain in her legs, and the depression almost made her faint.

After the First Emperor washed his hands, he wiped off the water stains on his hands, and then said, "Hu Ji, what a crime you have committed." ”

"Hu Ji is guilty of lax discipline, let Hu Hai do something wrong, and ask Your Majesty to surrender!" Concubine Hu said with a cry.

The First Emperor moved to the couch, picked up a plate of dim sum, and said as he ate: "There are some things that can be taken care of by not being strict with discipline, Orchid. ”

"Your Majesty! Hu Hai is still young, and he doesn't understand many things, so please spare him. Concubine Hu slammed her head on the ground.

The First Emperor looked at Hu Ji and said, "Hu Ji, I know that he is young, but his young age is not a reason to escape responsibility. ”

"Hu Ji is willing to be punished for my son Hu Hai, and I ask Your Majesty for permission!" Orchid looked up and said. The First Emperor looked at Hu Ji coldly and said, "Hu Ji, this matter is not as simple as you think. Hu Hai, I can let him go, but I must find out what he gave him advice behind his back! ”

"Orchid will definitely let Hai'er say it, thank you for your grace." Hu Ji said hurriedly.

"You don't need to go, let Qin Xi check it himself. Just stay good these days, just don't come out and make trouble, I don't want to see what I don't want to see, understand? The First Emperor said coldly.

"No." Hu Ji knew that he was under house arrest by the emperor, but as long as he could save Hu Hai's life.

"Stand down." The First Emperor said lightly.

"No." Orchid stood up and limped out of the First Emperor's bedchamber. The First Emperor squinted at Hu Ji, spit out the snacks in his mouth, and said coldly: "If it weren't for this purge of the secret guards, I really wouldn't have thought that there were so many things that I didn't know, sure enough, the Hu people are Hu people after all, and if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different!" ”
