Xiao Jue was quite normal at first, but his eyes changed when he saw Lou Yan approaching. And when he heard the words Xiao Jue said to plead for him, his eyes became even more wrong.
He tilted his head slightly and stared straight at Lou Yan, as if he wanted to poke a hole in Lou Yan.
But Lou Yan lowered his head and didn't look at him. He just said to Xiao Chengye: "Father, you must find out the truth and restore His Majesty's innocence."
Xiao Chengye sighed, reached out and patted Lou Yan on the shoulder, saying: "You are interested."
Lou Yan lowered his head and said nothing.
Everyone looked at this scene and originally thought that the matter was settled like this, and the prince was afraid that he would escape this disaster.
But no one expected that the prince, who had always behaved well, would suddenly go crazy.
"It's mine, it's all mine!" Xiao Jue suddenly got angry, rushed over and grabbed Lou Yan's neck, shouting hysterically: "Qin Zhen is mine, the throne is mine, and everyone in the world is mine.
Yes, everything is mine...it’s all you. It’s you who ruined everything. It’s you who harmed me. I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!”
The entire Tai'an Palace was in an uproar instantly.
Lou Yan was caught off guard and was grabbed by Xiao Jue's neck and pushed down. With his ability, he would be able to easily kick Xiao Jue away.
But Lou Yan just reached out and pressed Xiao Jue's wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please calm down..."
Xiao Jue has gone crazy at this time, how can he still calm down.
In his eyes, there was only Lou Yan who destroyed everything for him.
In his previous life, he took Qin Zhen to the Qin Mansion, causing Qin Zhen to commit suicide in front of him, and their unborn child was also lost.
In this life, it was him who stole Qin Zhen, which became a stumbling block for him.
Without Lou Yan, he would not have failed that night, and Qin Zhen would not have left him.
Xiao Jue's eyes turned red, his hands tightened, and he murmured: "I am the emperor, I am the lord of this world, it is mine, everything is mine, anyone who blocks my way will die!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone in Tai'an Hall took a breath of cold air.
Xiao Chengye stared at Xiao Jue, his eyes red with anger, and finally kicked Xiao Jue on the shoulder and said sternly: "Evil son!"
Fortunately, he had tried every means to excuse him for the sake of the father-son relationship, and tried his best to protect him.
But what did he just say? He is the lord of the world, and anyone who blocks his way will die. So, if he, his father, blocks his way, will he die too?
Xiao Chengye looked at Lou Yan, whose face turned purple after being pinched but didn't fight back. He suddenly felt sad and shouted loudly: "What are you still watching for? Why don't you pull him away quickly!"
Everyone then scrambled to pull Xiao Jue away from Lou Yan.
Lou Yan collapsed on the ground, his throat was dry and itchy, and he couldn't help coughing.
Xiao Chengye helped him up with his own hands and asked with concern: "How are you, are you okay?"
Lou Yan waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Father, don't worry."
"You silly kid, why don't you fight back?" Xiao Chengye said in a deep voice.
Lou Yan closed his eyes and said softly: "We are brothers."
Xiao Chengye pursed his lips, looked at Xiao Jue opposite him, whose eyes were red and wanted to rush over, and said coldly: "You treat him as a brother, but he may not treat you as a brother."
Lou Yan remained silent.
Xiao Chengye turned around and returned to the dragon chair, half-squinting his eyes and saying nothing. Apart from Xiao Jue's shouting, there was no other sound in the entire Tai'an Palace.
I don't know how long it took before Xiao Chengye finally spoke and said slowly: "The prince's crime of treason is unforgivable. From today on, he will be deprived of his title of prince and deposed as a commoner."
After a pause, Xiao Chengye said again: "Let him guard the imperial mausoleum, and spend the rest of his life repenting and atonement to his ancestors."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was considered the prince's final outcome.
In the end, Xiao Chengye still cared about the family relationship between his father and his son, so he never killed him ruthlessly and spared Xiao Jue his life.
After the emperor said that, he waved his hands as if he was extremely tired and said: "That's the end of the matter. No one needs to mention it anymore. I'm tired, let's go."
After that, he left with the help of Gao Cheng.
As soon as Lou Yan left Tai'an Palace, he was pulled aside by Qin Yi.
He glanced at the circle of bruises on Lou Yan's neck, clicked his tongue, and asked, "Did you do it on purpose just now?"
Lou Yan raised his eyebrows: "What's intentional?"
Qin Yi glared: "Don't pretend to be stupid! You seemed to be begging Xiao Jue just now, but every word was deliberately irritating him and driving him crazy."
"If this were not the case, based on His Majesty's previous intention, I am afraid he would have picked it up high and put it down gently. At most, he would have dealt with the people under the Crown Prince's command, and then imprisoned the Crown Prince for a period of time."
Lou Yan said calmly: "How do you know that His Majesty has no intention of deposing the Crown Prince?"
Qin Yi pouted: "Isn't it bad for Xiao Jue to be the prince? Stupid is a bit stupid, but he is easy to control. If it were you, or Xiao Yao, it would not be so easy to control."
Their Emperor is still young and does not want to hand over power early and become the Supreme Emperor. In this case, an obedient and easy-to-control prince is naturally more suitable.
If Xiao Jue hadn't suddenly gone crazy and told anyone who blocked his way to die, Xiao Chengye would not have been able to do this.
In the end, he spared Xiao Jue's life. Who knows if it was a way out for himself?
Lou Yan glanced at Qin Yi and felt that his brother-in-law's political sensitivity was really too strong, and he was living in Dali Temple.
He thought for a while and said: "I will not allow him to get close to Zhen Zhen again."
These words indirectly answered Qin Yi's question.
He didn't have any kind of brotherly friendship with Xiao Jue, he just deliberately stimulated Xiao Jue to go crazy.
Lou Yan finally understood that this Lou Yan was indeed not a good person.
He stared at the circle of bruises on Lou Yan's neck and couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you fight back just now?"
Lou Yan said calmly: "Of course I will do it for His Majesty."
"I can't stop watching," Qin Yi said coolly, "Do you want to show it to Zhen Zhen?"
Lou Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he became mute again and stopped speaking.
Qin Yi grinded his teeth and whispered: "Don't go too far!"
After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.
Several colleagues from Dali Temple were waiting for Qin Yi. When they saw him coming, they couldn't help but said: "Master Qin, it seems that you have a good relationship with the prince?"
"That's right, I haven't said a word to the prince since I entered the court."
"I have never seen the prince speak, except in the court."
"Until now, I haven't gotten a single word from the prince."
Qin Yi: "..."
He twitched the corner of his mouth, looked back at Lou Yan, who had already turned around to leave, and said helplessly: "I've also taken advantage of this."
If it weren't for Qin Zhen's relationship, Lou Yan probably wouldn't pay attention to him at all.
Everyone understood and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the prince is very concerned about the princess!"
