Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

"Fourth Prince, what do you mean by that? Did my wife covet your beauty and deliberately set a trap to harm you?" Yang Yan stood up suddenly and said indignantly.

As soon as he said this, several muffled hums of suppressed laughter sounded around him, which was particularly obvious in the quiet environment.

Fang Jiarong's already ugly face suddenly became even more unsightly: "That's not what I meant..."

"If the fourth prince dares to do it and take responsibility, I will respect you as a man." Yang Yan interrupted him directly, "You had enough fun when you took off your pants, but you put the blame on the woman when you put on your pants. What kind of man are you?"

Fang Jiarong's face turned pale, but the few words of An Guogong had already pinned the matter on him. At this time, it seemed that whatever he said was just quibbling. For a moment, he was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his head.

"Father, you must believe me! I..."

"Shut up!" The old emperor interrupted him angrily, pointing at him with a trembling finger, "You rebellious son, you actually did such an immoral thing, I..."

He was thinking about what method to cover up this matter, but at this moment, a chill suddenly surged from the calf that An Guogong had held before to his chest.

He couldn't say the rest of the words, and fell backwards with his hands covering his chest.

"Your Majesty!"

All the ministers were shocked by this change. Fortunately, the eunuchs around the old emperor reacted quickly and caught his falling body in time, so that he didn't fall badly.

But before everyone could rejoice, their hearts sank when they saw his appearance.

He saw that his limbs were stiff, his face was like gold paper, his eyes were staring blankly, his teeth were clenched, and there was water flowing from the corners of his mouth. Obviously, the situation was not optimistic.

"Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!" The ministers were in a mess, no one cared about the two disheveled people in the room, and all rushed over to care for the old emperor.

The eldest prince was stunned by this sudden change, and was about to go forward to show his filial piety, but as soon as he moved, someone pulled his sleeve.

Yang Yan was not willing to give in: "Your Highness, the Emperor is seriously ill and cannot manage affairs. As the eldest prince, you have to make decisions for me!"

The eldest prince was almost laughing at him. He shook his sleeves vigorously and said coldly: "Now my father is sick because of you. It's ok that Duke Anguo doesn't care about the emperor's health, but he still cares about the things in your mansion. It's really nonsense!"

"What are you talking about?" Yang Yan said with a straightforward face, "Even if the emperor is angry, he was angry at the fourth prince and became seriously ill. What does it have to do with me? I am also a victim!"

"You——" The eldest prince pointed at him angrily, and was speechless for a while.

I don't have many opportunities to meet Duke Anguo. I didn't expect him to be such a fool. My father just fell down, and he said "seriously ill and difficult to recover". Isn't he afraid that my father will punish him after he wakes up?

Wait! Seriously ill...difficult to recover...

Yang Yan seemed to be really tactless, and kept chattering: "Your Highness, the eldest prince, now I can only rely on you to make the decision. You are the eldest son of the emperor, but you must not protect the fourth prince just because he is your royal brother!"

Bullshit! He wanted to kill the two-faced thing of the fourth prince! Would he protect him? If he didn't step forward to stab him when something happened to him, it would be considered that his brotherly love was deep enough.

The eldest prince cursed in his heart, and finally realized it belatedly-that's right! He is the eldest son, and his father has never appointed a prince. Now that he has fallen, isn't he the most important person in the world?

Of course, his royal brothers will definitely not accept it, but isn't there a Duke of Anguo who needs his help? As long as he does things beautifully, why should he be afraid that he will not support him?

With the support of Duke Anguo, who has 500,000 troops, who dares to oppose him? He will just order someone to kill him!

After figuring it out, the eldest prince, who was originally not very happy with this fool, suddenly changed his previous impatience and became enthusiastic.

He held his hand and said sincerely: "Duke Anguo, don't worry, your business is my business. The fourth brother dared to do such a thing that is intolerable by heaven, and made my father sick. I will never let him off easily!"

"With your words, Your Highness, I feel relieved!" Yang Yan grabbed his arm with a touching look on his face and promised seriously, "Your Highness has helped me today. If there is anything that can be done for me in the future, I will definitely do my best."

The eldest prince was waiting for his words. Now that he really heard it, he was very proud.

The fourth brother, the fourth brother! In the past, my brother never looked down on you, thinking that you always wore a gentle smile, and you were a smiling tiger who would eat people without leaving any bones.

Now it seems that my brother has wronged you for so many years. How can you be a smiling tiger? You are a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!

Thinking that if the fourth prince had not done something shameful in public today, my father would not have been so angry that he fell ill, and the Duke of Anguo would not have sided with him, the eldest prince's gratitude to this brother was like the endless waves of the river.

However, although he was grateful, the eldest prince did not mean to let him go. After the old emperor was taken back to the palace for treatment, he immediately ordered the guards to take the two to the Tianlao for trial as the eldest son of the legitimate emperor.

But after hearing his order, the guards present looked at each other's expressions, and none of them moved.

In fact, from here we can see why the eldest prince, as the eldest son, did not get the favor of the old emperor. He lived in vain for more than thirty or nearly forty years, but he did not even have this little prestige in the guards. How could the old emperor dare to hand over the country to him?

However, in addition to his identity, what Yang Yan saw was his incompetence.

"What?" Seeing that the eldest prince was so embarrassed that he was about to pick his feet, Yang Yan immediately stepped forward to help him out, "You dare not listen to the words of the prince, are you in the same group with Fang Jiarong, the shameless guy?"

He was furious, and it seemed that if they dared to admit it, he would crush them and the fourth prince together.

The guards were really the fourth prince's people, and they did not dare to admit it at this time. After all, a man who was cuckolded is terrible, and when this man himself is a martial arts master and has killed countless people, this degree of horror increases exponentially.

Seeing that the guards who had all bowed their heads and remained silent after he gave the order, rushed into the house to escort the four princes and two brothers because of a word from Duke Anguo, the eldest prince felt very uncomfortable for a while.

But he changed his mind and thought that no matter how powerful Sheng Yangyan was, he was just a minister, not to mention that he was now inclined to him. The more powerful he was, the more he could help him. Thinking of this, the awkward feeling was immediately reduced a lot.

After all, Fang Jiarong was a prince. Before the matter was settled, the guards did not dare to offend him too much, so a group of people seemed to rush in fiercely, but in fact they politely invited him out.

"Big brother, you are so arrogant today!" When he passed by the eldest prince, he stopped, sneered, and said, "I just hope that you can maintain this arrogance after my father wakes up."

"Don't worry about that, fourth brother," the eldest prince retorted without showing any weakness, "I advise you to reflect on yourself in the prison!"

"Look at what you have done? You dared to attack the wife of a loyal minister who protected the country, and even made my father sick. You are unrighteous and unfilial!"

What he said was all true. The fourth prince had no way to refute it for a while. He snorted and said, "I didn't see Big brother in the past. With such sharp tongue, I think he is deliberately hiding his clumsiness. "

"You can't tell a person's heart from his face," he looked seriously into the eyes of the Duke of Anguo, and said, "Some people look honest on the surface, but they are actually full of bad water."

"Today's incident is actually very simple. Just look at who the final beneficiary is, and you can guess who is behind the scenes to frame me and the wife of the Duke of Anguo."

He said this sincerely. If someone else were here, I'm afraid that even if they didn't completely believe it, they would have some doubts in their hearts, which would give him an opportunity to take advantage of this little suspicion and maybe use this little suspicion to turn defeat into victory.

It's a pity that the person he tried to persuade was Yang Yan. He knew everything about him and Jiang Ruxue, and even knew some things that Jiang Ruxue didn't know.

For example, Fang Jiarong deliberately approached the wife of the Duke of Anguo from the beginning, and for example, Jiang Ruxue thought that the hero saving the beauty was actually a play he deliberately found someone to pretend.

I wonder what the heroine would think when she knew these truths? He was quite looking forward to it.

Yang Yan thought so, and his eyes fell on Jiang Ruxue behind him.

She had probably never been so embarrassed in her life. This era was not tolerant of women. Even if she lived her life well, she could still bring disaster upon herself, not to mention that she was caught cheating on her husband.

The guards who didn't dare to be too rough with the Fourth Prince showed no mercy to her, and it was inevitable that they would push and shout.

Some people even pulled a small piece of her men's clothing that barely covered her body from her shoulders, not knowing whether it was really accidental or intentional, so that her spring-light was exposed, causing many men to drool secretly.

Jiang Ruxue originally hoped that the Fourth Prince could save her, but later she saw that he could not save himself, and she became afraid.

How would unfaithful women be dealt with in ancient times? I have heard of immersing in a pig cage, riding a wooden horse, etc. She thought about the tragic scenes and shuddered immediately - no matter which one, she didn't want to try.

Seeing Sheng Yangyan's gaze coming over, Jiang Ruxue quickly seized the opportunity to try to explain: "Husband, things are definitely not what you see."
