Chapter 414 The Prince's Position
"System? Is it you?"

Jiang Tang whispered in his heart.

Unfortunately, no response was received.

She moved her fingertips slightly, but did not give up, and called a few more times: "System?"

But as always, no response.

She couldn't help but feel a little lost, and just as she was in a daze, a strange little eunuch came behind her at some point: "His Royal Highness, the emperor is pleased."

Jiang Tang regained consciousness in an instant, only to see the cold and calm expression of the man beside him, as if he had expected it long ago.

Just as she was about to say something, her right hand was gently held, and there seemed to be many emotions in the man's dark eyes that she couldn't understand: "Wait for me to come back."

After leaving these words, Xiao Yinhan stood up, his aloof back was bleak and decisive, like a soldier about to go to the battlefield.

Jiang Tang didn't know what he was thinking, subconsciously called out to her: "My lord!"

The man stopped and looked back at her.

She smiled softly, "I'll wait for you."

Under the bright lights, the girl smiled affectionately at him with her face up, her eyes gleaming with water, and the stars shook down.In an instant, the surrounding bustling background blurred into a blurred phantom in his eyes, only she was the only bright color in the world.

Xiao Yinhan's heart trembled slightly, and thousands of words finally turned into a low "um" on the tip of his tongue.

Xiao Yinhan was called away, and Jiang Tang was the only one sitting there alone at the table, his weak and beautiful appearance made the hearts of those around him move slightly.

"System, are you back yet?"

Jiang Tang tried to call the system again, but as before, there was still no response.

"Zi La Zi—"

This time the voice was clearer than before, she raised her head, her eyes were bright...
-
Xiao Yinhan was led by the little eunuch, far away from the noisy banquet, and came to a palace.

The emperor's personal eunuch stood at the door: "My lord, the emperor is inside."

Following these words, the well-trained guards guarding the gate stepped aside to open the palace gate behind them.

Xiao Yinhan didn't speak, but walked in with a blank expression.

Surprisingly, there were no lanterns in the palace, only the lanterns outside were shining, and the majestic and majestic palace in the daytime showed a somewhat eerie atmosphere at this moment.

A figure stood in the center of the hall with his back turned to him, Xiao Yinhan walked over to salute: "See father."

Then there was no sound.

As if deliberately punishing him, Emperor Huaiwen didn't ask him to get up for a long time.

Xiao Yinhan was not in a hurry, just knelt down without saying a word.

Time slipped away slowly in the confrontation, neither of the father and son spoke, as if whoever spoke first would lose.

I don't know how long it passed like this, but it was Emperor Huaiwen who was defeated first: "Get up!"

It's just that the tone is not very good, and the anger can be heard.

Xiao Yinhan didn't hesitate: "Thank you, father." Then he stood up neatly.

The movements are crisp and neat, and the figure is tall and straight, as if the one kneeling just now was not him.

"Do you know what I asked you to do?" Emperor Huaiwen said directly.

Xiao Yinhan raised his head, with a bit of arrogance: "I don't know."

"I don't know!" Emperor Huaiwen was almost laughed angrily by him: "Then I ask you, what do you want to bring that woman to the palace banquet today?"

Xiao Yinhan finally looked at his father, and said eight words: "Seeing the injustice on the road, avenge the people's grievances."

This reason almost didn't choke Emperor Huaiwen.

He took two deep breaths: "Redressing the people's grievances can be done at any time, why must it be today? Do you think it was Lao Wu who did it?"

In Emperor Huaiwen's heart, although he favored Xiao Yinhan, he didn't think that his son could do something that would destroy humanity.

To put it simply, he doesn't believe that the Fifth Prince did it.

How well Xiao Yinhan knew his good father, he was not surprised to hear this.

"My father doesn't believe my evidence, so let's wait for the result of Dali Temple."

Xiao Yinhan had already said that, and Emperor Huaiwen didn't want to bother him, so he was about to say something, but was interrupted by him:

"The matter of the fifth child is just a matter of convenience. The son entered the palace today because he has something to ask the godfather."

Emperor Huaiwen was dissatisfied with the word "Shunshou" in Xiao Yinhan's mouth, and the next moment his attention was attracted by the second half of his sentence: "What's the matter?"

"I want to know," Xiao Yinhan looked into his father's eyes, "how did my mother and concubine die?"

Emperor Huaiwen's face sank in an instant. He was only angry just now, but now his expression can be called furious: "The death of your mother and concubine was just an accident. How many times have I said it."

"I do not believe!"

"It's been so many years, why bother you!"

"Because she is my mother."

Xiao Yinhan uttered these words word by word, instantly making Emperor Huaiwen's throat as if blocked by cotton, unable to speak.

Xiao Yinhan closed his eyes and looked away: "My concubine mother sent a letter out of the palace before her death. But the person who came to meet her was stopped."

"...Entering the palace was an accident. Lady Jade will leave the palace sooner or later. She is the owner of the firm. If she wants to leave the palace, everyone must help her."

"On the day I received the letter, I actually went to Jingshui Building. No matter what, I still had to do what I promised, but...the people I brought were caught before they entered the building."

"Who caught you?"

"I don't know, but... those people are well-trained and powerful, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. So I guess it should be..."

Xiao Yinhan opened his eyes again, his eyes were so cold that there was no trace of emotion, he just stated his guess flatly: "If my guess is right, it is the people in the palace who stopped them."

When Emperor Huaiwen didn't respond, Xiao Yinhan knew it. He really knew about it!

"I also know that although Concubine Mu has entered the palace, she never thought of giving birth to you."

"Where did you hear such nonsense!"

The face of Emperor Huaiwen, who was still gentle and refined just now, changed drastically at this moment, finally revealing a majestic and ferocious side, looking at his son in front of him with cold and terrifying eyes, the imperial majesty was fully revealed at this moment.

But Xiao Yinhan didn't seem to notice it, or he wasn't afraid, so he just looked at his father.

This time, it was Emperor Huaiwen who looked away first: "I don't know where you heard these rumors! Your mother and concubine and I are in love with each other, and your birth is in our expectation..."

"People of the Xueyi tribe will not intermarry with foreigners."

With Xiao Yinhan's words, all the sophistry of Emperor Huaiwen came to an abrupt end.

As if struck by lightning, he stared at him full of horror. At this moment, a corner of the gentle mask collapsed, finally allowing people to get a glimpse of the truth behind the mask.

"You, how did you know that your mother and concubine are, are..."

Xiao Yinhan didn't answer this question, but Emperor Huaiwen seemed to understand it slowly.

However, Nizi's words continued: "She obviously didn't want to marry you, but she still entered the palace; she didn't want to have children, but she still had me, so..."

Xiao Yinhan paused, and finally showed some real hatred in his eyes, and asked: "You knew from the beginning that she would not stay by your side forever. So when she wants to leave, you just kill her, right? "

"presumptuous!"

Emperor Huai Wen was furious: "You bastard, do you know who you are talking to?"

"I just want to know how my mother and concubine died!" Xiao Yinhan's eyes were red: "Did, did my father kill her..."

"you you……"

Emperor Huaiwen was so angry that his eyes went dark, he staggered and almost fell down.

Fortunately, he stabilized in the end, but his voice was extremely angry: "If I don't tell you, what will happen to you?"

Xiao Yinhan pursed his lips: "I will continue to investigate until the truth is found..."

"If I don't allow you to check!"

Emperor Huaiwen was so angry that he even forgot to call me, and severely interrupted the unfilial son.

Xiao Yinhan didn't speak, but his expression and eyes had already given his answer:
He won't listen.

"Okay, okay, okay, I really spoiled a good son!"

Emperor Huaiwen said six "yes" in a row, and one could hear how angry he was at the moment.

Seeing his crumbling figure, Xiao Yinhan wanted to help him, but in the end he just clenched his hands: "So, please tell me the truth, father."

Emperor Huaiwen didn't answer him, but suddenly said something irrelevant: "You should know that today, I planned to make you the crown prince, and the imperial decree has been drawn up, just waiting to be promulgated."

This sentence, it can be said, is very explosive at any time.

Even Xiao Yinhan, who claims to be firm, was in a trance for a moment when he heard the words.

Emperor Huaiwen's gaze fell on his son's face like a knife, and his tone was heavy: "As long as you promise not to pursue the death of your mother and concubine, then I will immediately announce that you will be the crown prince! After a hundred years, the throne of Daliang will only be yours. Inheritance! You will!"

This can be said to be the most exciting promise in the whole world, as long as you have a brain, you should know how to choose.

Emperor Huaiwen didn't rush after finishing speaking, and waited for Xiao Yinhan's choice.

Xiao Yinhan knew in his heart that his father would not joke about this matter, as long as he agreed, from then on, he would really be under one person and above ten thousand people.

But he didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere that had changed somewhat became tense again with his silence.

Emperor Huaiwen snorted heavily, and asked again: "Are you willing?"

Xiao Yinhan gritted his teeth hard, as if he had already tasted blood in his mouth.

Then, under the shocked eyes of Emperor Huaiwen, he knelt down: "I beg my father to tell my son the truth about the death of my mother and concubine!"

"boom--"

A thunderstorm exploded in the air, followed by heavy rain, and the originally lively banquet scene became panicked in an instant.

"What are you doing? Is Qin Tianjian a dry meal?"

The sixth prince scolded angrily, and then had to go to hide from the rain with the palace people holding umbrellas.

At this moment, his eyes accidentally glanced at the slender and beautiful figure not far away,

The beauty sat there alone, and the fourth brother didn't come back, this...

The sixth prince moved: "I'm going to talk to my sister-in-law..."

Jiang Tang sat on the seat, her delicate eyebrows slightly frowned.

Since this summer, she doesn't like thunderstorms very much.

Because every time this weather comes, it will bring her a bad experience, making her suspect that every rainy day is caused by the consciousness of the original book finding fault.

Tonight too, I was in a bad mood, but it became even worse because of the heavy rain.

Looking at the rain curtain outside the hall, she clenched her fingers unconsciously, and for some reason, she began to worry about Xiao Yinhan who had not returned for a long time.

At this moment, a strange male voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"The side concubine, if you are honored, please come with your slaves."

Jiang Tang's heart skipped a beat, and the uneasiness deepened again...
-
"...You don't listen to good words, and you don't want the crown prince. Xiao Yinhan, do you really think you are the only one I can choose?"

When Jiang Tang heard such a sentence just after entering the hall, her heart beat wildly, and she always felt that her ominous premonition had once again come true.

But the long sword on her neck prevented her from making a sound, so she could only stand quietly in place, listening to the continuation of the confrontation outside the curtain.

"My son doesn't dare."

Where Xiao Yinhan was kneeling, his back was straight.

Jiang Tang had never seen him in such a state of embarrassment, and stared blankly, a little lost in thought for a while.

The people outside didn't seem to know about her arrival. Emperor Huaiwen breathed for a while, and then looked at the unfilial son on the ground again, with a particularly heavy tone:
"I will give you one last chance: Do you want the truth, or the crown prince?"

Jiang Tang didn't respond yet, and kept looking at the man on the ground.

The little eunuch who hijacked her was a little shocked. After all, who would have thought that this would be the cause of the trouble, and the emperor still wanted to make Prince Rong the crown prince?
Who is not shocked by this!

Xiao Yinhan's throat moved up and down, but he said the same thing again: "I want... the truth!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a feeling that the dust had settled.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Huaiwen was not as angry as before, and even sarcastically said: "You mean, you don't even want that woman anymore?"

Xiao Yinhan frowned slightly, before he had time to ask anything, he heard the sound of gauze curtains not far away.

Then some court ladies filed in, and the candles in their hands quickly lit up the hall.

The lights were like daylight, and behind the gauze curtain, the girl stood there wearing a light red palace dress. The lights softened her delicate features, making her look even more beautiful like jade.

She just stood there, looking at him quietly.

A flash of astonishment flashed in Xiao Yinhan's eyes, then he turned his eyes away cruelly, and his voice was also extraordinarily indifferent:

"No. Father doesn't think that a mere woman can make my son give up, right? My son can even give up the crown prince, so what is she?"

Emperor Huaiwen looked at Jiang Tang, the girl's pale and flustered face made his eyes flash with satisfaction.

"In that case," he raised his hand, "give me wine."

As soon as the words fell, a young eunuch in palace uniform walked towards Jiang Tang with a glass of wine.

Jiang Tang looked down at the thin jade wine glass in front of him, feeling a little dazed, and the next moment the emperor's bewitching voice sounded in the hall: "I will give you a chance, as long as you can persuade King Rong to give up, then it is not the poisonous glass." You don't need to drink the wine. The crown princess is also yours!"

It is said that you are not joking, not to mention that there are so many "witnesses" in the palace at the moment.

Jiang Tang subconsciously looked at the man on the ground, but he lowered his head and didn't look at her, as if he wanted to teach her to make all decisions by herself.

Jiang Tang couldn't wait for Xiao Yinhan's answer, so he could only look back at the wine glass in front of him.

 Everyone go to bed first, there are two more, it will be later...
