525 Threat
Facing the emperor's anger, an ordinary courtier would have knelt down to plead guilty, but Xiao Lingjiang was still neither humble nor overbearing, standing proudly.

Seeing her appearance, the emperor felt even more furious, and he slapped the table with his right hand: "Yong'an, I know that you and the He family have made a lot of contributions, but now, you want to rely on your achievements No?"

Xiao Lingjiang lowered his eyes slightly: "Yong'an dare not."

"Don't you dare?" The emperor snorted coldly, "I think you are very brave."

"You said that the matter about the assassin earlier had nothing to do with you and the He family, so I didn't pursue it further. However, there is no way to falsify the confession of the assassin in Chen Qing's place. You know, except for the few people who were arrested that day Assassin, I got another piece of evidence related to the He family yesterday!"

As he spoke, he picked up a letter on the table and threw it heavily at Xiao Lingjiang.

It's a pity that the letter paper was so thin that it landed half a foot in front of Xiao Lingjiang.

Xiao Lingjiang leaned over, flapped his sleeves lightly, and put the letter paper on the ground into his palm.

Into the eyes is the familiar handwriting, which clearly stated the plan to collude with the assassins to assassinate the emperor, and also mentioned the plan to avenge Prince Yiwen and replace him later.The place where the signature was signed was the name of his uncle He Xiangshan, and his private seal was printed at the end.

When did the emperor get something terrible in his hands?

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "The handwriting can be imitated, and the private seal can be made. With such things alone, the sage will believe it?"

He Xiangshan's handwriting and private seal, if others want to imitate, it is not rare.How could such a letter be able to convict the He family?In the end, it was just the emperor's wishful thinking for the letter. Even where the letter came from is also worth thinking about.

"The evidence is solid, why don't I believe it?" the emperor asked back.

He sneered a few times, and said in a cold voice: "The He family is really scheming, first accuse me of being wrong, and make my branch lose the hearts of the people, and then use the blood of you, the daughter of Prince Yiwen, to Recruit a son-in-law from the He family for you, and you can succeed after giving birth to the bloodline. Doesn't this He Xiangshan just happen to be the powerful minister of the regent?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Assassinating the king and intending to treason are serious crimes of copying the family and exterminating the family. With the words of the assassin and this letter, I can immediately take down the entire He family and send them to prison!"

"Now I want you to marry Xifan, just because you have made meritorious service before, and I will have another chance to commit crimes and meritorious deeds with you. Yong'an, are you sure to bear my painstaking efforts?"

Painful?

Xiao Lingjiang sneered, was it a deliberate effort to kill her and the He family?It is absolutely impossible for this letter to be written by He Xiangshan, so behind it is nothing more than Xifan and Jingu, or even the emperor himself, in order to get rid of her.

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

No one cares about the authenticity of this letter.What the emperor wants is only that Xiao Lingjiang and the He family can no longer threaten his throne.

So what if he kills by mistake?In the emperor's heart, Da Zhou has never lacked Taoist masters, nor has he lacked capable ministers and aristocratic families. Without her and the He family, others will come forward to use him.

Xiao Lingjiang sighed helplessly, and after a long silence, he opened his mouth: "If Yong'an is willing to go, is the saint willing to let the He family go and protect the He family from any worries?"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed: "You are my niece after all, and I have seen all the loyalty and righteousness in the past. I believe that you were just deceived by the traitor in the matter of assassination and treason, so I called you To take the blame and do meritorious deeds, so as not to implicate you in this matter. I guarantee that when you return safely, you will still be the high and mighty Princess Yong'an of the Great Zhou."

"But this He family has conclusive evidence in black and white..."

For the He family, the emperor had long been quite displeased.

The He family is all supporters of Prince Yiwen, and when the palace changed, He Xiangshan even dared to keep the daughter of Prince Yiwen in the mansion.At that time, he thought it was just a baby girl, and since He Xiangshan made the condition of resigning from office and returning home, he agreed to go.

However, after many years, the He family and Xiao Lingjiang returned due to various opportunities and won a good reputation.The more the emperor wanted to use the two more, the thorn in his heart became more and more painful.

Fortunately, the shrine gradually weakened, and these two were of little use.The assassin matter gave him an excellent opportunity.The celestial phenomenon of "from south to north, with shadows entering into Taiwei" in the past two days made him suddenly vigilant, people and ministers are in chaos...Xiao Lingjiang and He Xiangshan, neither of these two people can stay.

The emperor paused for a moment, then said: "The crime of the He family cannot be avoided. But since you asked me, I will agree with you. Except for He Xiangshan, everyone else in the He clan will die."

With the loss of the head of the family and Xiao Lingjiang, the heirs in the family are young, and it may be difficult for this huge He clan to stand up.Even if he doesn't make a move, the wolves, tigers, leopards and old enemies beside him can collapse him in an instant.

He looked at Xiao Lingjiang, and his words were full of warning: "Yong'an, this is already my greatest benevolence."

"Yes, Yong'an knows." Xiao Lingjiang lowered his eyelashes to hide the look in his eyes, "Since this is the case, Yong'an will obey the holy order and will try his best to be loyal to Da Zhou."

She lowered her head and bowed down: "It's just that Yong'an still has one thing to ask. I grew up in the He family since I was a child, and my uncle and I are no different from my own grandfather. I am afraid that it will be rare to see my relatives when I go to Xifan. At that time, I wonder if the sage can allow my uncle and brothers in the family to give me a ride?"

"Ten miles." The emperor frowned and said, "I allow him to send him ten miles away. Before you and your relatives leave Yingdu, everything will be as usual in the He family."

"Thank you, saint." Xiao Lingjiang folded his hands, leaned over and bowed down.

"Okay, it's best if you know my painstaking efforts." The emperor waved his hand, "The envoys from Xifan will leave the capital in a few days, and you will stay in the palace in the near future, just stay at ease. Other things, All the people in the imperial court will work for you."

"Come here, send the princess back to the palace to rest!"

The door of the main hall was pushed open, and the palace envoy bowed towards Xiao Lingjiang and said with a smile, "Princess, please."

Is this going to trap her in the palace?

Xiao Lingjiang sneered in her heart, but she never showed any dissatisfaction. She got up and saluted: "Yong'an resigns."

After leaving the main hall, the palace envoy led her to the bedroom in the palace.Except for the He Zheng and the green bamboo she had brought with her, there were obviously a lot more guards and servants behind her, and there was even the person with profound skills among them.

When they got to the sleeping hall, the guards around them were even tighter. I'm afraid that she, the princess who was going to be married, would repent temporarily and escape without a trace.

Xiao Lingjiang didn't bother to look any further, and brought the green bamboo into the palace, followed by the servants serving the tea: "Princess, this is the best Fu tea from the Northland, you should try it."

Xiao Lingjiang's brows and eyes moved slightly, he winked at her, then turned and entered the inner hall.

The emperor insisted on this, and she had to do many things even though she didn't want to.
