Concubine is always arrogant

Chapter 179 The Emperor's Eccentricity

"What's going on today?" The prince was honest this time. He stood aside and didn't say anything. Instead, the emperor asked first.

What happened this time actually made the emperor and the emperor unhappy, especially after hearing the prince's embellished words, the anger in his heart was even worse.

I have clearly given the matter to the crown prince to be fully responsible, but today the crown prince came to tell himself that in the middle of the interrogation of the prisoner, his fourth son and eighth son suddenly appeared in the prison, and ignored the rules of the prison, and directly sent him to prison. The prisoner took him away, wounded the interrogator and locked him up.

This is something that I have given an order how to deal with it. Now the behavior of my two sons is a challenge to his authority in the eyes of the emperor.

When Murong Xuyang heard what the emperor said, he also had a guess in his heart, knowing that the prince had distorted the facts.

Seeing that Murong Chenyi didn't speak, Murong Xuyang took a step forward, cupped his hands and saluted the emperor: "I don't know something about the emperor, today's things are like this..."

Murong Xuyang narrated everything he saw in the prison today to the emperor, and finally said: "Father, my son just couldn't bear to see such a thing, and felt that this way of handling it was too unpopular, so he decided to Take action to stop it, not to mention that there were many ministers and ministers who went together at that time, and what the ministers said was not half false, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask the ministers who were there with the ministers at that time."

This Murong Xuyang is not a fool either, he knows how much the emperor favors the prince, and if he really wants to avoid this incident, he has to make some things clear.

What's more, the prince can't distort this matter even if he has a group of officials to testify.

After hearing what Murong Xuyang said, Prince Murong Haoxuan was really angry and anxious.

He really didn't expect that the current situation would appear. He came to the father to complain as soon as something happened, and he didn't have time to think clearly about what to say.

According to the past, the father always dotes on himself, so the father will naturally favor him in this matter, but today's matter is so hard to prove, even if the father is in favor of himself, there is nothing he can do, right?
But Jiang is still old and hot. The emperor has trained the prince for so long, and he has long been ready to let him be his successor. This is the time to make the prince unlucky without saying anything, so the emperor grasped another important point.

"I don't want to know about the later things for the time being," the emperor directly ignored what Murong Xuyang said, "I just want to know, fourth and eighth, who allowed you to enter the prison at that time and take the repeat offender out?"

Maybe the prince took the initiative before. He said that Li Hongyu was a repeat offender, but now the emperor himself said that Li Hongyu was a repeat offender, which meant that even if Li Hongyu didn't do anything, he was also a repeat offender.

The emperor even sacrificed a Li family for the sake of a crown prince. Such heartlessness even chilled Murong Xuyang.

He couldn't help but look back at Murong Chenyi who was standing aside, wondering what he was thinking at this moment.

Murong Xuyang was silent, and the emperor's face became unsightly. This son had been obediently being a prince before, but now he suddenly did such a thing, it seems that he also has thoughts about the throne.

He was good to this fourth son in the past because he was obedient, but now it seems that he is not so obedient, and he has his own little thoughts, so the emperor's love for Murong Xuyang is much less.

As for Murong Chenyi...

The emperor looked at Murong Chenyi who was standing on the side with an expressionless face. He had neglected this son for too long, and even if he recovered now, he didn't have much affection, and he didn't deserve his kindness to him now.

Most emperors are fickle people. In the past, Murong Chenyi could dote on him because of his mother and concubine, but now he can also alienate him without any nostalgia.

"Presumptuous." Seeing that Murong Xuyang was silent, the emperor yelled and slapped his palm heavily on the table, "Don't you take it seriously when I speak well now? Say, why did you go to heaven at that time?" Prison, what kind of thoughts do you have!"

It's fine if the emperor doesn't say this, but when he said this, Murong Xuyang's heart turned cold. Does this mean that his father is standing behind the prince?No matter how egregious things he did, Father only felt that it was his fault.

Murong Xuyang didn't speak, but Murong Chenyi wouldn't just let things get worse and worse at this time.

"Father, please calm down." Murong Chenyi took a step forward, "This time, the fourth brother didn't take the initiative to go, I went to look for the fourth brother, and hope that the fourth brother can take me to the prison."

"Old Ba?" The emperor did not expect Murong Chenyi to speak suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Murong Chenyi has now been confirmed by the national teacher, and he is already the designated disciple of Old Man Tianji. His identity will be announced when Old Man Tianji accepts apprentices every year. A disciple of Old Man Tianji will not be allowed to become the emperor. This is a secret Old man's rules.

So since this person can't be the emperor, what does he mean by doing this?
Murong Chenyi, who was asked by the emperor, naturally understood, this is not a difficult thing to explain to him.

"Return to father," Murong Chenyi said unhurriedly, "The reason why my son went to the prison this time is mainly because of the national teacher."

"The national teacher asked you to bring people out?" the emperor asked.

If it is true that the national teacher intervenes in this matter, then it will be a little troublesome if he wants to favor the prince, and some things cannot be done too much.

"No, the national teacher said that he had some friendship with a person before, and the other party asked the national teacher to help him go to the prison to see Li Hongyu, but the national teacher himself is not easy to come forward, so I let my minister do it for me."

"Why did you have the fourth child and so many important officials in the court go?" Murong Chenyi's explanation obviously did not satisfy the emperor.

Murong Chenyi's expressionless face just now showed some annoyance at this moment, "This is actually because of my son's relationship. My son's face has just recovered. I'm afraid that if the guards in the prison don't know me, That's why I asked my fourth brother to go with my son, as for those courtiers, they all happened to meet on the road, and after hearing about the purpose of my son and my son, they said they went to see it together."

Murong Chenyi's explanation was quite reasonable, even the emperor couldn't find any fault.

"Forget it, let's leave it as it is this time." The emperor felt a little overwhelmed after hearing so much. So far, you are not allowed to speak out in the future, as for those courtiers, they will be explained clearly by you, fourth child."

Murong Xuyang and Murong Chenyi were ordered to retreat, while the crown prince Murong Haoxuan remained in the palace.

After leaving the palace gate, Murong Chenyi suddenly chuckled, "Fourth brother, how do you feel?"

Murong Xuyang was silent for a while, and finally thought about whether this person was Murong Chenyi or opened his mouth, "I never thought that father would be so biased."
