Chapter 76 Reactions from all parties ()

Shangguan Ze was suddenly slapped, covering his face in disbelief and looking at him in confusion.

"Father, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing that he was still pretending to be dumbfounded, the leader of the Xiyue Kingdom was even more angry and threw his credentials directly in his face.

"It's something that fails to accomplish anything but fails more than it does!"

After Shangguan Ze looked at ten lines at a glance, he kept shaking his head and was in confusion for a while.

"Father, no, this matter has nothing to do with my son!"

The Lord of Xiyue looked at him coldly, his tone seemed to have been tempered by ice.

"Last month, at your wedding banquet, Wei Wei admitted in public that he had joined your army, and you were the only one who obeyed. Now you say that what he did had nothing to do with you?!"

Shangguan Ze was so anxious that he was dripping with cold sweat, the blood on his face gradually faded, and his lips couldn't stop trembling.

"My son really doesn't know. Wei Wei is just a loser. He used to be the fifth brother..."

"enough!"

The Lord of Xiyue rolled his sleeves and shouted angrily.

"Now that Xiyue is in the wrong, Daqi is determined to tear off a piece of flesh from me. The Xiyue royal family has completely lost all face. Can you just let it go without knowing anything?!"

Shangguan Ze's face was bloodless and his whole body was shaking.

Suddenly, he thought of something, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and said eagerly:
"Didn't Daqi just want an explanation? It's just a Weiwei man. We just need to capture him and hand him over to Emperor Daqi, and let him do whatever he wants."

"Oh, second brother is so naive!"

A figure strode into the palace door, and it was none other than the Sixth Prince Shangguan Chang.

Looking at the panicked Shangguan Ze, his eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.

"Emperor Qi Xuan is not a fool. If there is no one behind the scenes, how can a Wei Wei cause such a big disturbance?!"

Then he looked at the Lord of Xiyue, his expression solemn and his words sincere.

"Father, Daqi's 100,000-strong army is eyeing the border. We have already lost three cities. If we cannot give Daqi a satisfactory answer this time, I am afraid that the people on the border will suffer from the flames of war again."

The Lord of Xiyue frowned and immediately issued an order.

"The second prince Shangguan Ze was ambitious and colluded with important ministers of other countries, triggering a war between the two countries. The people suffered greatly from it. He immediately seized his title and demoted him back to his fiefdom. He is not allowed to return to the capital without an edict!"

"Father!"

Shangguan Ze plopped down on the ground, crawled to the legs of the leader of the Xiyue Kingdom, and begged.

"Father, this matter was really not done by my son. Someone must have framed me!"

Suddenly, he pointed at Shangguan Chang and shouted, "It's him, it must be him and Lao Wu who are framing me!"

Then he thought of something and clutched the hem of the bright yellow clothes tightly, his eyes filled with unwillingness and cruelty.

You don’t want to make me feel better, do you?

Then don’t even think about living!
"Father, as the envoy to send someone off, Lao Wu unexpectedly left the mission without permission and even lost Sister Mingyue."

"Second brother, you can't bite me and fifth brother because I told the truth. Sister Mingyue sent me a letter yesterday, saying that she missed the sweet cakes made by the imperial chef."

Shangguan Ze shouted at him, using so much force that veins popped out on his neck, "You're talking nonsense, Mingyue has been missing for eight days, how could I write to you!"

Shangguan Chang looked at him with a faint smile, but his eyes were full of coldness.

"Fifth brother did say in the letter that the mission encountered robbers and Mingyue was slightly injured, but the matter has been resolved. Mingyue is recuperating at the inn. Fifth brother was afraid that my father would be worried, so he did not report it."

"But how did the second brother know about this?"

"I……"

Shangguan Ze did not expect that he would lie blatantly in front of the king.

I didn't know what to say for a moment, and I was suddenly sweating profusely.

But Shangguan Chang didn't intend to stop there. He sighed quietly and said meaningfully: "Second brother's information is really well-informed."

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense!"

However, the leader of Xiyue Kingdom was upset and angry at this time, and did not want to hear them continue to argue. Especially when he heard the words 'well-informed', a trace of determination flashed across his eyes.

It no longer matters whether Mingyue's disappearance is true or not. What matters now is to calm Da Qi's anger as soon as possible.

Looking at the man kneeling next to him, with snot and tears streaming down his face, he couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart.

"Somebody come!"

"Send the second prince back!"

The leader of Xiyue Kingdom glanced at him with cold eyes.

"Go back to your fiefdom. I don't want to see you in the court tomorrow morning!"

"Father!"

Being dragged away by the guards, Shangguan Ze kept struggling and shouting.

Shangguan Chang withdrew his disgusted gaze and shook his head inwardly. What a fool who couldn't see the situation clearly!
The Lord of Xiyue sat on the dragon throne again, "Lao Liu, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Chang's heartbeat skipped half a beat, but he quickly reacted, lowered his head slightly, and replied cautiously:

"My son thought that it was natural to give gold and silver treasures, but I have just ended the war in Xiyue, and the most important thing is to cultivate and recuperate, so I can't give too much. Since I have already sent a princess, so to show my sincerity, it is better to give another gift Go get a proton.”

The Lord of Xiyue's old and cloudy eyes narrowed slightly as he examined the son he had never paid attention to.

"Proton?"

Upon hearing this unclear tone, Shangguan Chang slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves.

Then he knelt half on the ground, raised his head, and looked at the person sitting on the dragon chair with admiration.

"My son is willing to share my father's worries!"

Seeing his gaze, the leader of Xiyue Kingdom felt a little moved in his heart, and raised his hand to signal him to get up.

"There are so many descendants of the Xiyue royal family, where is the need for my own son?"

not to mention……

Thinking of what just happened, a dark light flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Xiyue Kingdom. Should he ask them to collude with Daqi?

They must not be allowed to threaten Xu'er's status!

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Chang lowered his head pretending to be moved, his eyes full of sarcasm.

It seems the bet was right!
The fifth brother was right. His father was already very suspicious, but now that he had learned from the past that Shangguanze had colluded with important officials from other countries, it was impossible for their healthy sons to be used as hostages.

He pretended to be embarrassed, "But if we let the clan members serve as hostages, what if Daqi feels that we are not sincere?"

Then he lowered his head in shame, looking remorseful.

"It's all our fault as useless sons that our father is so troubled."

son?

The old eyes of the Lord of Xiyue suddenly flashed with light.

How could he be forgotten?

"Come here, go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion immediately and send a decree, ordering him to go to Daqi tomorrow morning with one hundred thousand taels of gold!"

The eunuch took the order and left in a hurry.

After solving a troublesome matter, the leader of Xiyue State relaxed a little, poured a glass of wine and tasted it carefully.

Seeing his relaxed posture, Shangguan Chang sneered in his heart.

Three years ago, the fourth brother was ambushed on the battlefield. His meridians were damaged and two of his legs were disabled.

It's a long way to Daqi. If a seriously ill and weak person travels a long distance, you can imagine what the consequences will be.

And does their good father care?

All he cares about is the dragon chair beneath him!

No, there is also the son of his favorite woman!
