Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Hearing this, Nan Xi smiled:
"If I were Xiao Changheng, I would not only send your things back, I would throw the funeral gift you sent out of the house in front of everyone."

"How do you say this?"

Xia Houqi was puzzled. He thought he had done nothing wrong, so why was he treated like this?

"Believe it or not, Xiao Changheng must have blamed you for the death of his daughter. If you hadn't abandoned Xiao Ruyan, Xiao Ruyan would not have been sad to go to the temple to practice, and he would not have gone there again. If someone kidnapped someone on the way to the temple, they wouldn’t be left dead in the wilderness.”

"How can this be blamed on me? This is all an accident."

"The investigation has revealed that it was an accident? Have the robbers been found?" Nan Xi asked with raised eyebrows.

Xia Houqi pursed his lips, "The robber was not found. At that time, Xiao Ruyan was only surrounded by the coachman and Caiyue. The coachman was killed immediately. Caiyue was knocked unconscious, so she could not see the kidnapper's face clearly."

"Since the kidnapper hasn't been found yet, how can we conclude that it was an accident? What if someone did it deliberately and wanted Xiao Changheng to completely break up with the prince?"

"Are you thinking too much? It should be just a simple accident. Even if Xiao Ruyan is not dead, I and the Xiao family are incompatible with each other. There is no need to take another life." Xia Houqi disagreed with this.

"You think so, but Xiao Changheng doesn't think so. In short, my lord, you'd better be prepared. When Xiao Changheng returns to the court, he will definitely confront you head-on." Nan Xi looked a little gloating.

Hearing this, Xiahou Qiman sighed helplessly:

So what if Xiao Changheng hated him? He really didn't expect that Xiao Ruyan would die because of this incident. Even if she had evil intentions before, her crime would not lead to death.

And just like Nan Xi said, after Xiao Changheng took his funeral leave, he started to confront Xia Houqi on the first day he entered the court.

"Your Majesty, I have my own personal report -"

"Xiao Aiqing can just say it." Nangong Rui glanced at Xiao Changheng and responded.

"Reporting to your majesty, I want to join the regent Xia Houqi, despise the law, act tyrannically, and oppress good women!"

Hearing Xiao Changheng's words, everyone was stunned, wondering what Xiao Changheng meant by this.

Even Xia Houqi himself felt confused. When did he despise the law and oppress good women?This is not something to be said casually!Nan Xi is still in the court.

Thinking of this, Xia Houqi couldn't help but look at Nan Xi, who had a joking look on his face, obviously watching Xia Houqi's excitement.

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Houqi:
See, I have already said that he will target you. This is only the first day, and he can’t wait.

"Master Xiao, you can't say this nonsense. When did I bully women from good families?" Xia Houqi asked directly.

Hearing this, Nangong Rui also stood up and spoke for Xia Houqi:

"Yes, Xiao Qing, I have watched Xia Houqi grow up, and he has good conduct. Otherwise, I would not be able to betroth the Emperor Ji to him with confidence. If you say that he despises the law and oppresses the people, you have to show him Evidence will do.”

"Back to Your Majesty, I am not making this out of thin air. The regent dismissed many of the concubines in the palace a few days ago, leaving them homeless. Several of them wanted to die. In order to give the concubine an explanation, the regent forced her to do so. Dismissing concubines and abandoning concubines has led to tragic consequences for them. Isn't this bullying women from good families?" Xiao Changheng asked indignantly.

At this point, everyone will understand what Xiao Changheng means:

As we all know, Xiao Changheng's only daughter was married to the regent as a concubine. The regent divorced his daughter a month ago, and then his daughter had an accident.So Xiao Changheng blamed everything on the regent!I want to take this as revenge!

Although Sima Zhao's intentions were known to everyone, others could not say anything and sympathized with Xiao Changheng.

When Xia Houqi heard Xiao Changheng's words, he knew that he really blamed Xiao Ruyan's death on himself.

"Xiao Qing, if the regent abandons his concubines and concubines in the palace, it is not considered to be disrespecting the law and bullying women from good families. You..."

"Your Majesty! If the regent hadn't abandoned my daughter, causing her to go to the temple to practice in sorrow, how could something happen to her? Does Your Majesty think that my daughter's death is deserved?"

Xiao Changheng's eyes turned red instantly!
He has a son and a daughter in total. The son is only 19 years old now and will not reach his first age next year. The 21-year-old daughter was in her prime, but she was brutally murdered!He held his daughter in the palm of his hand and would think twice about scolding her, but in the end, Xia Houqi abandoned her as soon as he said so!

How can there be such a cheap thing!
"Dare I ask Mr. Xiao, is it the king who ordered Miss Xiao to be kidnapped?" Xia Houqi asked coldly.

"It's not——"

"Then let me ask Master Xiao, is it me who asked Miss Xiao to go to the temple to practice?"

"No, but-"

"Since I didn't ask Miss Xiao to practice cultivation, and I didn't send people to kidnap Miss Xiao, why should I be blamed for Miss Xiao's death? Don't I even have the power to divorce a concubine? Is Mr. Xiao going to ask about this? Or is it just because Miss Xiao is the daughter of Mr. Xiao that that’s why Mr. Xiao is so strong-willed?"

Every word Xia Houqi said made it clear that Xiao Changheng was making trouble here unreasonably. It was nonsense to say that he despised the law and oppressed women from good families!

"Then why did the regent take in so many concubines? Now that he had welcomed them in, why did he abandon them now? Is it just to cling to the royal family and become the so-called royal wife?" Xiao Changheng blushed. asked.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi looked at Xiao Changheng with ridicule and asked:

"Didn't Master Xiao and Miss Xiao beg me to let her enter the palace as a concubine? Did I tell Master Xiao that I had an engagement with Di Ji? If Di Ji gets back in the future, I will The king is going to divorce all his concubines. Even so, Master Xiao and Miss Xiao still have no hesitation in asking me to accept Miss Xiao as his concubine? Now it’s better, all the blame is on me. You have become such innocent people. .”

After saying that, Xia Houqi looked at Xiao Changheng with a smile, as if he was just a clown in his eyes.

Xiao Changheng was speechless by Xia Houqi's words, and even felt wronged.

But things had reached the point where they were today, and he had no choice but to continue.

"I sincerely ask your Majesty to make the decision for me and punish the regent, so as to comfort my little girl's spirit in heaven——"

"Master Xiao, are you forcing your father?"

Nan Xi, who had been silent and watching the excitement, couldn't help but ask.

"What does Emperor Ji mean by this? When did I force Your Majesty?"

If Nan Xi takes the blame, he will be guilty of a big crime!
