Chapter 356: The Four Princes Forced the Palace
A sound of Dingguo Gong leading troops to attack in, quieted the imperial study, and the soldiers outside also stopped fighting, and the world seemed to stand still.
After a long while, the emperor regained his voice, looked at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground and said, "What did you say?" ”
The little eunuch lowered his head and trembled, "Certain.... Dingguo Gong led his troops to attack and was already at the gate of the palace. ”
The emperor only felt a stream of blood rush to his brain, and with a bang, there was no one else in the whole world, only himself who was panicking. He leaned back involuntarily, Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly supported him, and shouted worriedly: "Your Majesty." ”
The emperor waved his hand and looked at Duan Yinghong, "What's the matter?" ”
"Minister... I don't know. ”
Duan Yinghong was also shocked, how did he know what was going on? Could it be that Dingguo Gong really wanted to rebel because his daughter was humiliated? Thinking of this, he looked at the emperor and said, "Could it be.... Could it be that Dingguo Gong really wants to rebel? ”
The Emperor's fist trembled uncontrollably, and now it was probably not as simple as his rebellion. Xiao Huai can lead troops into the palace in the name of rescuing the driver.
As soon as I thought of this, there was a sound of fighting outside, and then Xiao Huai's voice, "The four princes are forcing the palace, take them all." ”
The emperor's head buzzed again, and at this moment, Xiao Huai walked in with a person in armor and a hand. He was also followed by Li Jingyi, who was holding a long sword.
Xiao Huai threw the person in his hand on the ground, he pointed at Duan Yinghong and said, "Take it." ”
As soon as his voice fell, two generals rushed over and restrained Duan Yinghong. Xiao Huai walked up to the emperor, looked at him deeply for a moment, and then knelt down on one knee and said, "The minister is too late to save the driver, please forgive the emperor." ”
Li Jingyi also knelt down, right next to Xiao Huai. The emperor looked at Xiao Huai, and then at Li Jingyi, who was completely different from his impression of cowardice. After a while, he said, "Love.... Aiqing, please get up. ”
Xiao Huai and Li Jingyi got up, and the emperor's eyes fell on Li Jingyi again. The young man is fourteen or fifteen years old, with a tall and tall face, a handsome face, and his eyes are as clear as the bright moon, where is there a trace of cowardice before. My heart was suddenly pinched.
But now is not the time to pay attention to Li Jingyi, he looked at Xiao Huai and asked, "Xiao Aiqing, what's going on?" ”
Xiao Huai looked at the four princes who were paralyzed on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, today's Shangyuan Festival, the minister's daughter was kidnapped by gangsters in the downtown area, and the minister chased after him, and found that it was the four princes who kidnapped the minister's daughter. He wanted to threaten the minister with the minister's daughter, let the minister help him ascend the throne, and told the minister that he had already forced Duan Yinghong to the palace. Duan Yinghong is a subordinate of the minister, if Duan Yinghong misses, the minister will also be punished. ”
Xiao Huai glanced at the four princes fiercely, and said: "The minister was worried about the emperor's safety, and he also believed that the emperor was wise, so he captured the four princes, and then led troops to rescue him." ”
"It's not.... It's not..."The fourth prince, who was paralyzed on the ground, denied weakly.
Of course, the emperor didn't believe Xiao Huai's words, he looked at Duan Yinghong, and wanted Duan Yinghong to say that he was instructed by Xiao Huai. Duan Yinghong received his gaze and said, "What Dingguo Gong said...."
"Duan Yinghong," Xiao Huai interrupted him, "You were brought up by me, I have treated you well all these years, even your son I have tried my best to cultivate, but I didn't expect to raise a wolf with ambition." ”
Duan Yinghong's heart tightened when he heard him mention his son, and then a voice came from outside the imperial study, "Dad, don't be obsessed, the boss is so good to me and our family, how can you do such a rebellious thing?" ”
Duan Yinghong turned his head to look, and saw his son standing at the door of the imperial study, with two of Xiao Huai's right-hand men standing beside him. What else doesn't understand, his son and family must be in Xiao Huai's hands now.
Only now did he understand that Xiao Huai probably knew that he was bought by the emperor a long time ago, otherwise the family he had transferred would not have fallen into Xiao Huai's hands.
"Duan Yinghong, you better confess truthfully."
Xiao Huai's voice came, Duan Yinghong turned his head to look at him, with begging in his eyes, but Xiao Huai looked at him calmly and didn't give a hint. He understands that if he follows Xiao Huai's thoughts, his son's family may still have a glimmer of life, otherwise.....
"I confess that it was the fourth prince who asked me to force the palace today."
"You.... You fart. The fourth prince endured the pain in his lower body, stood up and pointed at Duan Yinghong and said, "Father, this Yinghong was sent by Xiao Huai, and they are acting." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." Xiao Huai took a step forward, glanced at the four princes, and said, "Concubine Yuan has a personal affair with the princess. ”
"You're spewing blood." The four princes roared loudly, but Xiao Huai said indifferently: "The minister has evidence." ”
As he spoke, he said to the door, "Bring someone up." ”
After a while, the gray-haired Taishi was pushed in.
The emperor's head became more and more dizzy, and even his eyes were a little blurred, and his anger was holding back in his heart but he couldn't find an outlet. His body shook, and Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly helped him to the edge of the chair and sat down. Seeing this, Xiao Huai hooked the corners of his lips imperceptibly.
"Minister..... The minister is guilty. The Taishi knelt down in front of the emperor and said.
The emperor closed his eyes, cleared his mind, looked down at the Taishi who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You and the Yuan clan really have..."
He couldn't say the remaining two words, how could he have thought that in his harem, there were two concubines who had fornication.
Taishi's forehead was on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister and Concubine Yuan are.... We met before she entered the palace, and after she entered the palace, we didn't...."
"Hmph," Xiao Huai's voice sounded, "Taishi, who did you want to reconcile with your wife back then?" If you just knew each other, would you reconcile with your wife for her? ”
The Taishi knelt on the ground trembling and couldn't argue, Xiao Huai said again: "Why does the Taishi try his best to support the four princes? Concubine Yuan returned home a few days ago, what did you say and do after you met? ”
The Taishi knelt on the ground and shook into chaff, Xiao Huai said again: "That day, Concubine Yuan also invited the minister's wife to Yuan's house, and Mrs. Chen said that Concubine Yuan went out in the middle and changed her clothes when she came back, hehe....."
The two hehes behind him carried an indescribable meaning, and the emperor looked at the Taishi with a strong killing intent. At this time, the Taishi raised his head, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister... Although the minister admires Concubine Yuan, the minister has never had a muscle with her... Skin-to-skin contact. Ministers will die clearly. ”
As he spoke, he got up and snatched the long sword from Li Jingyi's hand and stabbed it in the abdomen. I only heard a pop, and blood spurted out, impartially spraying onto the emperor's body. The emperor was so shocked that he wanted to stand up, but when he saw Xiao Huai, he still endured the panic in his heart and sat still.
