The emperor did not speak, but looked coldly at Su Xubai who was kneeling there. He straightened his back and his eyes were full of hatred. Hao Jiaojiao, on the other hand, lowered her head. She even refused to raise her head to look at him.
, which is right and which is wrong is clear at a glance.
Su Xubai still wanted to speak, but Xie Chengyin said nothing and refused to let him speak again. The emperor looked at it, a little bored, and waved his hand: "Why don't you discuss what to do first, so that I can decide what to do?
How to do it!"
"Thank you for your consideration, Father!" Xie Chengyin was worried about what this lunatic Su Xubai would say, so he quickly agreed.
The emperor stood up and walked out slowly.
After the emperor left, Xie Chengyin took Su Xubai to a corner and said, "Are you crazy? You guys are just having a little fight in private, no one cares about you, and you actually make it in front of my father?"
"A small fight?" Su Xubai raised his eyes and looked at Xie Chengyin, "Do you know what she did? She poisoned Ah Chun. It was a poison that could kill her. If she hadn't been doing farm work since she was a child, she would be in better health.
, she is just a corpse now! But even so, he will never have a child of his own again in this life, and he will have to take medicine to hang his life for the rest of his life. What did he do wrong? Is it just because she is
Does a civilian deserve to be bullied like this?"
Xie Chengyin was speechless. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time.
"I have nothing else to ask for. I just hope that Your Majesty can judge this matter from a fair perspective. He is the emperor, and he is the highest judge in this country. If he is just partial, then I have studied hard.
The book of sages is like a joke!" Su Xubai stared at Xie Chengyin and said word by word.
"Then you know, if Hao Jiaojiao is really tried and convicted, my father will lose his face. It was he who decided on your marriage, but you sacrificed your future for a concubine.
If your wife is sent to prison, aren't you telling the whole world that my father has given you a terrible marriage?" Xie Chengyin grabbed Su Xubai's hand.
"I know what you want to say. You want me to save the royal family's face, so who will give Chengchun justice?" Su Xubai stared at Xie Chengyin, his eyes a little red.
"I'll give it!" Xie Chengyin looked into Su Xubai's eyes and said word by word.
Su Xubai didn't speak, just looked up at Xie Chengyin.
Xie Chengyin took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "You are here today, and you are making trouble in front of my father. Not only is it not good for you, it is not good for Chengchun at all. By then, the whole
Everyone in the capital will know that you have actually refuted the emperor's face, so where will you go with Cheng Chun?"
"Am I going to let her suffer this injustice for my own sake?" Su Xubai smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty's face is important, isn't Achun's life important?"
"Su Xubai, wake up!" Xie Chengyin was really annoyed, "Are you really going to ruin your own future for such a person?"
Su Xubai looked at Xie Chengyin for a long time, and finally laughed, "What kind of person is she? Do you think she is born low and her death is not worth pity?"
Xie Chengyin was speechless for a moment.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince Yongchang is here!" An internal official came forward to report.
Xie Chengyin paused, then nodded: "Let him in!"
When Meng Shaoqing came in, he saw Hao Jiaojiao kneeling there. He didn't like Hao Jiaojiao at all. When he saw her, he just laughed and didn't look at her again.
He was led to a corner by the internal officer. He looked at the faces of the two people and knew that they might not be able to reach an agreement, so he coughed lightly: "Why, am I here at the right time?"
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush!" Xie Chengyin said angrily.
"Chengchun is awake!" Meng Shaoqing said calmly.
Su Xubai's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Meng Shaoqing: "How is she now?"
"The pain is unbearable!" Meng Shaoqing raised her eyebrows slightly, "The medicine was very vicious and hurt her internal organs. The pain was unbearable. The doctor was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it, so he gave her Ma Fei Powder!"
Xie Chengyin on the side frowned: "Are you worried about your life?"
"Yes!" Meng Shaoqing raised his eyebrows, "If it were anyone else, she would be dead!"
Xie Chengyin was speechless for a long time by Meng Shaoqing's words, and finally said helplessly: "At least, she is still alive now, right?"
"His Royal Highness, you are the prince. Matters involving human life and fate cannot be left in such a blur when it comes to you!" Meng Shaoqing smiled, his eyes full of sarcasm.
Xie Chengyin only felt a sigh of relief in his heart: "Meng Shaoqing, are you just watching the fun and don't think it's a big deal?"
"I was just wondering, if Chengchun had a strong background, would His Highness the Crown Prince still think that she is at least alive now?" Meng Shaoqing looked at Xie Chengyin with eyes full of scrutiny, "Prime Minister Hao's heart is to be loved by His Highness and Your Majesty.
Raised little by little!”
Meng Shaoqing, who was usually the most rude person, was the most unpleasant when he spoke. Even Xie Chengyin didn't give him any face.
"Then, no matter what happens, this matter should not be brought to the attention of the emperor. If you slap the emperor in the face, you may not be able to reap the good fruits!"
Just like a fly, "I have written down this matter. No matter what, I will give an explanation to Chengchun!"
"Oh? His Royal Highness is always a person who spits and criticizes, but he actually said these words, and he will never regret it!" Meng Shaoqing looked at Xie Chengyin and laughed.
Xie Chengyin sighed: "I will never regret it!"
Meng Shaoqing walked to Su Xubai and hugged Su Xubai's shoulders: "You are also a smart person. Even if you insist on this matter, there will be no results in the end. It is better to be like now, with His Highness the Crown Prince."
A promise is much more beneficial than forcing Your Majesty to punish the Hao family!"
Su Xubai pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Su Xubai, don't be stupid. You have really offended His Majesty. Your little Achun may not be safe in the end!" Meng Shaoqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Scholars, be more diplomatic and keep the green hills. Don't be afraid.
No firewood!”
Su Xubai, who had been silent, slowly raised his head: "Your Highness, I promise you a thousand pieces of gold!"
