After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Feeling Xiao Jinzhi's gaze, Xiao Rongxuan's heart tightened.

"No matter what the truth was back then, the third brother has already made a big mistake. Looking at the current situation, my father should not be in the mood to continue celebrating the birthday party. So, can the third brother be sent back to prison and dealt with according to law?" Xiao Jin Zhi's tone was cold.

Xiao Rongxuan immediately knelt down to Emperor Xiao, "Father, I understand that my son was dissatisfied with Xiao Jin's slander and framed you, so he did the wrong thing. It is excusable..."

"Third Prince, did the son of a minor minister die in vain?" Liu Changhan stared at Xiao Rongxuan, his eyes deliberately showing hatred, "A murderer must pay for his life. As a descendant of the royal family, should the Third Prince set an example? Or should he set an example in the future? When others commit evil, do they all imitate the Third Prince and find a high-sounding reason to avoid the law?"

Xiao Rongxuan was instantly angered by the contemptuous tone, "Liu Changhan, you are just a courtier. After all, you are a dog of the royal family. Don't bully others too much!"

"Third Prince, be careful! Although we are courtiers and obey the emperor's orders, we do so because the court and the people cannot tolerate such humiliation!"

"That's right, the third prince made a big mistake first, and then insulted the courtiers later. Please punish him severely!"

"Please punish me severely!"

The courtiers sounded indignant and demanded severe punishment.

Emperor Xiao was irritated and looked at Xiao Rongxuan with disappointment who had just spoken rudely.

This son is really useless.

"Come here, put the third prince in prison and punish him according to the law."

"Father!" Xiao Rongxuan looked at Emperor Xiao in surprise. Although he knew from the beginning that his father might not really let him go completely, but the other party should at least delay some time for him, but he directly punished him according to the law. ?

"You'd better shut up and stop spouting wild words, otherwise I won't mind killing you right now." Emperor Xiao threatened coldly.

Xiao Rongxuan shuddered fiercely. He was so stared at that he didn't dare to speak anymore and could only let people drag him down.

In a stiff atmosphere, the birthday banquet ended, Emperor Xiao walked away, and Chu Huanyan was also taken away.

None of the courtiers expected that they would encounter such a grand scene while attending a birthday banquet. Not daring to stay any longer, they all hurried out of the palace. Of course, everyone was talking about this matter on the way out of the palace.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince acted a little impulsively tonight." After everyone left, Liu Changhan walked over to Xiao Jinzhi, who was still standing there.

Xiao Jinzhi looked sideways at Liu Changhan, "Since the Prime Minister feels that Gu is too impulsive, why did he speak for Gu so firmly just now?"

"Because Wei Chen has no choice." Liu Changhan sighed, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Chu reminded Wei Chen of this."

"Thank you, Prime Minister Liu." Xiao Jinzhi said lightly, glanced at the direction where Chu Huanyan was taken away, and turned to leave.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Liu Changhan called Xiao Jinzhi.

"Prime Minister Liu, is there anything else you can do?"

"Wei Chen wants to know what the Crown Prince's back-up plan is?" Liu Changhan asked in a low voice.

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at him, "What kind of back-up plan?"

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has decided to reveal everything at today's birthday banquet, he must not be unprepared. If Miss Chu had not been caught just now, what would His Highness the Crown Prince plan to do? In other words, what if the Emperor had directly used the Imperial Guards to launch an attack? , how does His Highness the Crown Prince plan to respond?" Since Xiao Jinzhi dared to expose everything in public, he must have expected that the emperor might directly send the Royal Guards to arrest people, and he could not be unprepared.

"If Gu said so, I don't have any backup plans." Xiao Jinzhi said.

Liu Changhan frowned, obviously not believing what Xiao Jinzhi said.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Wei Chen sincerely surrenders to His Highness, and his actions just now are enough to express his position. However, this matter is really not a trivial matter. Although it will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation, the Emperor cannot sit idly by. Wei. I just want to know what kind of bargaining chips His Highness still has in his hands. If we really get into a head-on confrontation... what can His Highness rely on?"

He just wanted to get an answer from Xiao Jinzhi, for peace of mind, and to be sure that he had not chosen the wrong person.

Xiao Jinzhi withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction of the banquet exit.

"Whether Cheng believes it or not, Gu just did not prepare any back-up plan. If the father really sends the Royal Forest Army to arrest him..." Xiao Jinzhi paused, "At most, Gu can only protect himself, and he can only rely on himself. martial arts."

Liu Changhan's face darkened and he looked at Xiao Jinzhi intently, still unable to believe what he said.

"But..." Xiao Jinzhi spoke again, "Prime Minister, you can rest assured, after all, Gu will not be unprepared again. Of course, if Prime Minister is afraid and wants to make a new choice..."

"Wei Chen has decided to obey His Highness." Liu Changhan said respectfully.

He was indeed wavering before, but after what happened just now, if he continues to be a coward at this time, I am afraid that the entire Liu family will face disaster.

"Okay, thank you Prime Minister." Xiao Jinzhi nodded slightly and walked away with deep eyes.

……

On the other side, Zhaoxia Hall.

Chu Huanyan was escorted by two eunuchs and stood in the palace. She looked at Concubine Xue in front of her and smiled helplessly.

"The imperial concubine just said that she didn't want to have anything to do with my daughter, but I didn't expect that just a few days ago, my daughter came to Zhaoxia Palace again."

"I'm sorry, Miss Chu." Concubine Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't intend to be your enemy, but you came to the emperor first, so I have to do the same."

"Does the Imperial Concubine really like the Emperor?" Chu Huanyan looked at him, "In a short period of time, the Imperial Concubine's thoughts have changed very quickly."

The voices were heard outside the hall. At the entrance of the hall, Emperor Xiao stood there quietly, waiting for Concubine Xue's next words.

"It's not that my mind changed quickly enough, but I can see my own thoughts clearly now." Concubine Xue sighed and walked slowly to Chu Huanyan, "I have been stuck in the past for too long. I thought I have never been able to let it go in my life, but suddenly one day I figured it out. What happened yesterday can no longer be changed, and after so many years, I should also look forward."

"By looking forward, does your Majesty mean to be attached to a man who is ruthless and murders his brothers?"

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xue slapped Chu Huanyan on the face, "Miss Chu, if you dare to slander the emperor like this again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Chu Huanyan was hit and turned her head away, her cheeks turned red, but the next moment, she laughed out loud... (End of Chapter)
