Prime Minister Xi, who had been unable to find a chance to speak, immediately stood up from the crowd.
"Your Majesty, you must be clear! I never did anything like this to deceive the emperor. Everything... everything was due to Xi Zimu, a rebellious woman who was good at making decisions. She actually dared to do such an unjust thing. I will definitely kill my relatives out of justice. The emperor wants to kill him.
If you want to chop it into pieces, I won’t have any objections!”
Unexpectedly, in order to protect himself, Prime Minister Xi would actually push his daughter into the pit of fire without even taking a step to help her, leaving her to fend for herself!
Liu Shangshu and Concubine He didn't seem to expect that Prime Minister Xi was so cruel and ruthless, and they were stunned for a moment. Cheng'er, who was kneeling on the ground, was too frightened to say anything anymore. Only Bei Minghao, who was standing in the corner, snorted coldly.
, secretly shook his head.
"Dad, dad, how can you say that? You taught me to do this in the first place, using that bitch Xi Ziqin as a cover to save my Xue'er's life! Dad, you have to save me, save Xue'er
——”
Mat Zimu, who was tied to the torture rack, looked embarrassed. His hair was disheveled, and he looked like a beggar wandering on the street. There was a fishy smell all over his body. With such random yelling, he looked more like
He's crazy.
"Dad, please save my Xue'er. Bei Mingyue is dead. She is the only one left in our Xi family! I can die. I finally let Xue'er survive. You must save her.
!”
Prime Minister Xi frowned and said nothing. Concubine He came back to her senses and kicked Cheng'er who was kneeling on the ground without leaving a trace. Only then did Cheng'er regain consciousness and kowtow to Emperor Jing desperately.
"My Master Qin is very kind-hearted. He did not intentionally deceive the emperor into helping Mu Guiren raise the princess. Master Qin was forced to do so. Prime Minister Xi also killed the five-month-old child in Master Qin's belly just to make Qin
The master raises the children for noble Mu, the emperor has learned from this!"
"How outrageous. I have never done such a thing. Your Majesty, how can I believe the words of a mere maidservant? Rather than leaving her here to confuse the public with her lies, it would be better for me to solve the scourge of spreading rumors!"
Prime Minister Xi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly took a step forward, casually drew out the sword of the general beside him, and stabbed Cheng'er sharply!
"You bastard who talks nonsense, why don't you die quickly, lest you disturb the emperor's ears!"
Although Prime Minister Xi is a civil servant, if he is really ruthless, he will not be inferior to a military commander. The sword was so fast that it was about to pierce Cheng'er's throat and kill her on the spot!
"I didn't, Your Majesty, I didn't lie. Prime Minister Xi wants to silence me. Your Majesty, please save me. Concubine He, please save me!"
Cheng'er screamed in horror and backed away desperately, but the sword had no eyes, and the tip of the sword was about to end Cheng'er's life——
"If you want to pass the test so vaguely, even if the emperor agrees, I will not agree."
There was only a soft ding sound, and a jade-like white chess piece hit Prime Minister Xi's sword hard. Prime Minister Xi stumbled, and was so shocked by the power of the chess piece that his jaw went numb, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"Prince Xitan, what do you mean?"
Prime Minister Xi took a step back, the viciousness on his face was clearly revealed, he glared at Xicheng Jue who had just stopped him, and said in a sharp tone, "The prince of Xitan is really philanthropic. Could it be that this lowly maid who talks so much lies is still related to the prince?"
