Chapter 321: Cutting out the flesh of the heart
Xiao Xuanmo's heart froze. He didn't know this truth. He just couldn't bear it. He could obviously use Zhao Qinghuai to destroy Zhao Guifei and the Zhao family. Who would have thought that Xiao Xuanrui would be so bold, in front of the emperor? In front of him, he actually dared to draw his sword and kill Zhao Qinghuai. Who would have thought that his confused father could so easily forgive Xiao Xuanrui's behavior just because he saw Zhao Guifei suffering from hysteria. He knew that there was nothing he could do and could only watch. He watched as Xiao Xuanrui and the Zhao family escaped the blame for this crime and continued to be at large. He clenched his fists and secretly suppressed the anger in his heart... After Zhao Qinghuai died, everything seemed to have settled. The emperor did not How to blame the Zhao family and Concubine Zhao? He said that this was all done by Zhao Qinghuai personally and did not involve anyone. Since Zhao Qinghuai had committed suicide out of fear of crime, he could be regarded as seeking justice for the unjust death. Such an unfair and biased approach , naturally made some officials in the court dissatisfied. However, the people on Xiao Xuanrui's side immediately suppressed it. Today, Xiao Xuanrui is the only one in the court, and no one dares to offend him at this juncture, so this matter gradually became more and more serious. An extremely strange state calmed down. - Feiyue Palace. Concubine Zhao had just been fed the decoction and fell asleep. The emperor had fed her herself. He looked at the woman who closed her eyes and fell asleep, and everything flickered in his eyes. It was a strong affection. He gently raised his hand and touched her delicate cheek, and then he slowly got up and stood up. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xuanrui, who had been standing beside him silently. He frowned: " Come out with me, I have something to say to you..." Xiao Xuanrui lowered his eyebrows and responded in a low voice. He followed the emperor out of the bedroom. The two of them went to the study next to it... The palace servant served some refreshments, and bowed He walked out of the study and closed the door tightly. Only the two of them were left in the entire study. The emperor directly picked up a tea cup and smashed it at Xiao Xuanrui's feet. "You bastard, kneel down for me..." "Xiao Xuanrui didn't say anything, didn't even raise his eyebrows, he immediately opened his robe and knelt on the ground. His knees happened to be kneeling on the broken tiles. Those fragments pierced his legs, and he suddenly felt pain. His face turned pale. There was no sympathy in the emperor's eyes. He looked down at Xiao Xuanrui coldly. "Did you order Zhao Qinghuai to assassinate Mo'er?"
Xiao Xuanrui quickly raised his head, looked at the emperor and shook his head: "Father, my son and I have not... The assassination of the fifth brother was Zhao Qinghuai's own initiative from beginning to end."
The emperor pursed his lips and warned in a cold voice: "I don't care if you really don't know or if you are pretending not to know... I will solemnly warn you now. In the future, I will not allow you to do anything to Mo'er. Although I love you the most. , but he is also my flesh and blood. I don’t have many sons. After the third child dies, you are the only four sons left.”
"The death of the third child has sounded a wake-up call for me. No matter what happens in the future, I will never allow you brothers to kill each other. Even if you become emperor in the future, you will not treat your brothers lightly. Brother..." Xiao Xuanrui did not continue to argue. He nodded obediently and agreed: "What my father taught me is that I will remember it. What happened to Zhao Qinghuai was just an accident. If they don't deal with me, I will. I will never hurt them in the future."
The emperor closed his eyes, his eyes full of exhaustion: "You are getting older and older. Sometimes, I can't seem to see clearly what kind of child you are. I really didn't expect that you would do something. In front of me and Zhao Chong, I killed Zhao Qinghuai like this."
Xiao Xuanrui opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but the emperor raised his hand and interrupted him: "Well, since the matter has already happened, it is useless for me to say more. You will still need the support of the Zhao family in the future, and you still want to ask Zhao Chong Let’s go and repair it.”
"Both his two grandsons died because of you... Even if he doesn't blame you, it won't prevent the rest of the Zhao family from resenting you."
Xiao Xuanrui's eyes flickered: "Thank you, father, for reminding me. I know what to do."
The emperor did not stay in Feiyue Palace. He had other things to deal with, so he asked Xiao Xuanrui to take good care of Concubine Zhao, and he left. As soon as the emperor left, Concubine Zhao woke up. Concubine Zhao asked someone to call Xiao Xuanrui to come in... Xiao Xuanrui straightened his clothes, and there was a hint of unruliness in his eyes. He knew that the crazy behavior of the mother and concubine just now was all fake. The reason why the mother and concubine did this was to win the pity of the father and make him soften. The matter of Zhao Qinghuai was easily exposed. The development of the matter was as expected by the mother and concubine. The father was controlled by the mother and concubine. Sometimes, Xiao Xuanrui had to admire the mother and concubine's means and scheming. But in the end, Zhao Qinghuai She was killed by him, and it was impossible for the mother-in-law not to mind. When she entered the palace this time, she was beaten and scolded again. However, he didn't care. He had experienced these beatings and scoldings many times since he was a child. Xiao Xuanrui Entering the palace, sandalwood was burning in the bedroom. Concubine Zhao was sitting on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her eyes staring coldly at Xiao Xuanrui. Xiao Xuanrui walked forward and knelt down. "Concubine...son." I have come to apologize."
Concubine Zhao asked coldly with a hoarse voice. "I don't know what's wrong with you, Xiao Xuanrui. I never knew that your methods were so vicious. In front of your father, do you dare to kill your cousin?"
"I was still thinking of arranging for your cousin to fake his death and secretly rescue him. Who knows, but you blocked all my plans and plans. Do you feel that when you grow up, you can control I have gained some real power, so my wings are hardened, so I can get rid of my mother-in-law and fly alone?"
Xiao Xuanrui pursed her lips and remained silent. Concubine Zhao felt filled with regret. At this moment, she wished she could strangle her son to death with her own hands to avenge A Qing. She never imagined that her son, whom she loved the most, would actually be killed. Nephew. No one can understand this kind of pain. She was in so much pain that life was worse than death... Concubine Zhao looked at Xiao Xuanrui and said nothing. She could no longer maintain her calmness. She stumbled out of bed and threw herself at Xiao Xuanrui. She lifted She raised her hand and slapped Xiao Xuanrui's face hard. Her sharp cardamom finger scratched blood marks on his face. "That's your cousin. That's A Qing, whom I love dearly." .How could you kill him, how could you personally cut off his death path?"
