Canglan Empress

Chapter 404 Two Reasons
Everyone fell silent, and the whole room knelt down, "The emperor calm down!"

Xuanyin turned her head and took a look, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, so what if she is a first-rank official?What about princes and nobles?

There is only one person who holds the power of life and death.

When the emperor was angry, everyone was terrified.

"All go out." Emperor Tiande said coldly, "Xuanyin stay."

No one dared to speak, Qi Qi bowed and retreated.

Xu Wang's expression was unprecedentedly decadent and pale.

He clearly knew in his heart that once something happened to Ouyang's family, all his planning over the years would have come to nothing. If the emperor continued to investigate and finally found him, then he would not even be able to save his life.

And all of this is because he said a wrong sentence.

The door of the imperial study room was opened, and after everyone went out, the door was closed again.

"Xuanyin." Emperor Tiande looked at Xuanyin deeply, "Who do you think is behind this matter?"

Xuanyin raised her eyes, and smiled lightly: "Didn't the emperor already guess it?"

Emperor Tiande's face changed slightly: "Is it really Yaohua?"

Xuanyin didn't say anything, it seemed to be a tacit agreement.

"Why?" Emperor Tiande said in a slightly cold tone, "Is he so impatient to get rid of his enemies?"

"No." Xuanyin shook her head slowly, "There are two reasons why the Fourteenth Prince did this."

"Which two reasons?"

"First, Yin Zhuo gives too much gold, silver and jewelry to brothels every year. These are all from the treasury, and most of the money in the treasury comes from the taxes of the people. That is to say, Yin Zhuo takes countless gold and silver jewelry every day. The fourteenth prince thinks he deserves to die when the people are fat and the people are anointed to play with women."

"Secondly, the fourteenth prince is a proud and vengeful person. He was not happy with what His Royal Highness Xu Wang said in the imperial study that day, so he just wanted to teach him a lesson."

Emperor Tiande heard this, and slowly frowned: "That's it?"

"That's it." Xuanyin nodded, "Otherwise, what reason does the Emperor think?"

"It doesn't make sense to—"

"Your Majesty thinks that Prince Yin shouldn't die?" Xuanyin raised her eyebrows, "I still think it's right for the Ouyang family to open a brothel to make money?"

Emperor Tiande was speechless for a moment.

"Although the fourteenth prince has done this, in the final analysis, it is just to eliminate corrupt officials and rebellious ministers as soon as possible." Xuanyin said, "He didn't really design to frame anyone."

Emperor Tiande didn't speak.

He understood Xuanyin's meaning, Yin Zhuo deserved to die, Ouyang's father and son also deserved to die, but at such a young age...

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Fourteenth Prince has a sense of propriety." Xuanyin said, "I have not kept the matter from the Emperor. The Fourteenth Prince is interested in the throne, but he is still young and has no intention of usurping the throne. Your Majesty Please rest assured."

There was silence in the imperial study room, Lu Ping lowered his head, his face was slightly pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead was clearly visible.

The young general is too bold, if he even said the word "seeking to usurp the throne", isn't he afraid of the emperor's wrath?
"Huangfu Xuanyin, you are very courageous." Emperor Tiande looked at Xuanyin expressionlessly, "So, you are going to help Yaohua?"

"Your Majesty." Xuanyin slightly raised the corners of her lips and smiled casually, "Even if there are no ministers, the Fourteenth Prince can still get what he wants."

Emperor Tiande was silent for another moment, the light in his eyes flashed, and the color was dim.

After some time, he said calmly, "Xuanyin, are you male or female?"
