Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 428 Demotion (Update )
He said he was begging, but in fact his attitude was extremely tough!

Apart from Shen Yanchuan, probably no one would dare to say such words in front of Emperor Mu Wu.

But who made him have so many supports?

The son of Marquis Dingbei was assassinated twice, one of which was in the capital. He is certainly entitled to seek justice.

And now... the result is about to come out!
Everyone subconsciously looked at Xiao Chengxuan.

How could he argue now?

Xiao Chengxuan's mind had already gone blank, and he just stood there in a daze, with his eyes out of focus.

He was stunned.

On those two occasions, he did deliberately send people to dress the same way in order to make Shen Yanchuan believe that they were the same group of people.

But he didn't expect that Shen Yanchuan was actually waiting for him here!

If I try to deny it again, who will believe me?

What’s more important is that there are still survivors in Shen Yanchuan’s hands!
Xiao Chengxuan really couldn't understand it. When he went to Wulan Mountain, he repeatedly confirmed that all the people who went there either escaped or died, and not a single person was left alive.

Now where did these two people come from?

Could it be... that Shen Yanchuan deceived him again! ?
But Xiao Chengxuan had been cheated by Shen Yanchuan twice today. At this moment, he no longer had the courage to take the risk with Shen Yanchuan again.

Shen Yanchuan is a man with a very deep mind. Who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve?
At this time, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make!

Xiao Chengxuan chose to keep his mouth shut, but this made the rest of the group very anxious.

Especially Jiang Zhaoyuan.

His first reaction was disbelief, but when he saw the silent Xiao Chengxuan out of the corner of his eye, he became uncertain again.

He has no idea about these things!

But now that we have come to this point, there is no way back.

Emperor Mu Wu’s face turned pale.

"successor!"

……

"My queen! My queen! Something bad has happened!"

A young eunuch ran in in a panic, and Concubine Ru, who was drawing her eyebrows and dressing up in front of the mirror, suddenly looked cold.

"What are you so flustered about? Speak properly!"

The young eunuch tripped over the threshold and staggered in, his face pale and sweaty.

Seeing him like this, Concubine Ru suddenly felt uneasy.

She frowned: "What's going on?"

The young eunuch didn't care about the pain, and his voice was already filled with tears:
"My Queen! Something happened to the Second Prince!"

Concubine Ru's heart sank suddenly!
She had a vague guess about something, but didn't dare to think about it.

She calmed herself down and asked:

"What? Isn't Xu Jie's case going to be tried today? What does it have to do with him?!"

"Originally, they were trying Lord Xu Jie's case, but the Dali Temple and the Censorate both said that the mastermind behind Lord Xu Jie's murder of General Huo Yucheng was the Second Prince!"

Bang.

The Luozidai in Concubine Ru's hand fell down, and she was completely stunned.

However, this is not over yet, and the blows continue to come.

"The Second Prince originally refused to admit his guilt, but who knew that the Prince of Dingbei would bring Ye Heng to confront him on the spot!"

Ye Heng?

Shouldn't he have died long ago? "Ye Heng pushed all the blame on the Second Prince, and, and..."

When the young eunuch said this, he began to stammer.

Concubine Ru had already lost her mind: "And what! Say it!"

The young eunuch knocked his head to the ground.

"Moreover, the prince of Dingbei also said that the Second Prince had sent people to assassinate him twice before! He, he has witnesses! His Majesty is furious!"

Ru Guifei felt that her eyes were darkening.

She never thought that so many things could happen today!

Although she had been worried before, Xiao Chengxuan had repeatedly confirmed with her that Xu Jie was very tight-lipped and would never reveal a word.

But who knows——

What’s more important is that Shen Yanchuan is now involved!
That's not an easy one to deal with!
Concubine Ru murmured as she stood up and was about to go outside.

“Go, go—”

She must go there as soon as possible and plead with His Majesty!
No matter whether it was useful or not, there was no way she would sit here peacefully!

The young eunuch and the personal maid all knelt down to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty! His Majesty is very angry right now. How can you just go over there like this?"

If I get angry, then——

Concubine Ru was furious: "All of you get out of here! He is my own son! If I don't go, who else can go?!"

I thought that with the presence of his father and others, Cheng Xuan would be able to survive this disaster safely.

But now it seems that it is impossible!

In fact, Concubine Ru also knew that it would be useless for her to go in this situation.

But she did not give up and still held on to the last glimmer of hope.

After all, His Majesty loves this son the most. He, he shouldn't be so cruel...

Seeing that she was determined to go, the palace servants did not dare to stop her.

Concubine Ru walked out in a hurry.

As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw another eunuch trotting in from outside.

"My Queen! Something bad has happened!"

The eunuch fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty has just issued an edict that the Second Prince has formed a clique for personal gain and murdered loyal officials, and he will be demoted to a commoner! He will be imprisoned in Chengxin Lake for life and cannot be released unless summoned!"

a bolt from the blue.

Concubine Ru's mind went blank and she stood there stiffly. Then, as if all her strength had been drained away, she fell to the ground.

"Miss!"

The maid rushed forward to hold her up, also in a panic.

"Empress! How are you? Imperial physician! Send for the imperial physician!"

Concubine Ru tightly grasped the palace maid's arm and spoke again, her voice was hoarse.

"No, no...I have to go see His Majesty...He can't, he can't do this to Chengxuan!"

This is her only son!
Once you are demoted to a commoner, there will be no hope at all!
The palace servants were in chaos.

However, just as Concubine Ru gritted her teeth and prepared to go out, a figure suddenly blocked her way.

"Mother, you can't go."
