"Your Majesty, please cancel my engagement with Princess Xiao Nalan and betroth Princess Xiao Yiran to me." Xie Xunfeng said with cupped hands.
"Father, if so, you cancel the engagement between me and Xie Zhizi. I will crash to death in this Jinluan Palace today."
Before Xiao Shentian could speak, Xiao Nalan had a look on his face that looked like he was about to die.
"Father, think again! If you really cancel the engagement between Nalan and Xie Zhizi, and backhand Xiao Yiran to betrothed to him, then this scandal will ferment among the people! This will not help our royal family's face!"
Xiao Wenyan said.
"Your Majesty, think twice! This engagement was decreed by Your Majesty. If you want to change it, just change it! It will undermine Your Majesty's majesty. What's more, only when Xie Zhengzi marries the eldest princess can the people of Dazhou take this proton seriously. If he marries the third princess,
Then it's just a joke in their eyes." Wu Guozhang stepped forward and said with his hands in hand.
This sentence also touched the heart of Xiao Shentian.
The reason why he got Xie Xunfeng and Xiao Nalan engaged was because he took a fancy to the power behind Xiao Nalan.
If it were changed to Xiao Yiran, who had no foundation, the engagement would no longer have any value for him.
"Everyone, dear friends, what you said is reasonable, thank you! I only said that I would give you a reward, how could you let me overturn the engagement you made? If as the king of a country, you have to change it day and night, how can you establish trust in the world?
Are you thinking of a reward?"
In fact, Xie Xunfeng had already guessed this outcome ever since Xiao Nalan said he disagreed with her and regretted his marriage.
"I only want the third princess! If Your Majesty can't satisfy me, then I won't take this reward!" Xie Xunfeng imitated the previous owner's pretentious manner and said.
When Xiao Shentian saw this, he laughed and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for you first. You can tell me when you think about it someday!"
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Nalan and Xiao Yiran again with cold eyes.
"Xiao Nalan, no matter what your starting point is? However, the things you did have angered both humans and gods. I will order you to be banned from Kunning Palace and copy the Mo family's precepts a thousand times!" Xiao Shentian said sternly.
When Xiao Nalan saw this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He glanced at Xiao Yiran provocatively and said to Xiao Shentian, "I will accept my punishment."
Xiao Shentian looked at Xiao Yiran and said, "Xiao Yiran, you knew that Xie Zhizi was engaged, but you didn't know how to avoid it, which caused such a misunderstanding. I will punish you to work in Cining Palace and let the Queen Mother educate you well."
.”
After Xiao Yiran listened to Xiao Shentian's words, he was overjoyed and quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I accept my punishment!"
Xiao Nalan said to Xiao Shentian, "Father, what kind of punishment is this! Didn't you say that? Are you guilty of the same crime? Xiao Yiran should also be grounded in Kunning Palace!"
Xiao Shentian frowned slightly and said, "Then, how about I also let you go to Cining Palace?"
Xiao Nalan kept refusing with a hint of bitterness on her face.
After Xiao Shentian finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Xunfeng.
He even winked at Xie Xunfeng...
When Xie Xunfeng saw this, he also understood it.
The emperor still gave him the reward.
The punishment given to Xiao Yiran seems to be punishment, but in fact it is a reward.
You know, the Empress Dowager Showa of Daxia was famous for being kind, kind, and easy to get along with.
Not only that, the Queen Mother’s background is also very powerful.
If Xiao Yiran can please the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother will become Xiao Yiran's greatest help!
Finished handling this matter.
Xiao Yiran and Xiao Nalan were both taken down.
Xiao Shentian's face darkened, he changed the topic and said to everyone, "Are you curious why I'm not in the carriage today?"
No one answered.
Xiao Shentian frowned slightly and continued, "Today, I was assassinated seven or eight times on the way back! I didn't expect that I would return victorious from the battlefield. But I didn't expect that in my own country,
But he was in danger many times! Even at the foot of the imperial city, there was no peace! Chen Dezhao, tell me, how did you defend Longyang City?
Are you, the governor of Jingzhao, busy helping my princes and princesses with their private affairs all day long?"
After Chen Dezhao heard this, he trembled with fright, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, you deserve death!"
Xiao Shentian frowned and said, "Today, if it hadn't been for Xie Zhizi, you would indeed have died! Don't be the governor of Jingzhao anymore! Go back and coax your yellow-flowered daughter."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me...Your Majesty, please forgive me...I am willing to make meritorious service..." Chen Dezhao was frightened and begged for mercy again and again.
However, Xiao Shentian seemed not to want to see him anymore, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the black armored guards to take him out.
Xiao Shentian glanced at everyone with cold eyes and said, "Come! Who can come out and help me catch these assassins? Let me see who wants to kill me?"
All the princes lowered their heads one after another.
The officials did not dare to look at the emperor.
They all know that investigating this matter will undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Anyone who dares to assassinate the emperor is a dead soldier.
They were fully prepared before they dared to come...
Seeing everyone, he didn't open his mouth.
Xiao Shentian said coldly, "Didn't you all have some ideas when you were taking care of my family affairs just now? Why are you all mute now?"
At this moment Xiao Wenyan came out.
Xiao Shentian said with some surprise, "Wen Yan, I am worthy of being the eldest prince. Are you willing to set an example?"
"Your Majesty, investigating cases is not my specialty! However, I would like to recommend someone. I think he will be able to do the job." Xiao Wenyan had a cunning look on his face.
Xie Xunfeng didn't even wait for him to speak. He guessed with his toes that he was going to cause trouble for him.
Xiao Wenyan and Xiao Nalan are indeed brothers and sisters, and they really have a way of finding trouble.
"Oh? Who is it?" Although Xiao Shentian understood clearly, he still pretended to be stupid.
"It's Xie Xunfeng and Xie Zhizi! First of all, Xie Zhizi has the ability to predict dangers in advance, and when he found these witnesses just now, they were well-founded. I think Xie Zhizi is a very good candidate." Xiao Wenyan said.
said.
As soon as Xiao Wenyan finished speaking, many people were snickering.
After all, everyone knows that Xie Xunfeng's performance today seemed very smart and no longer stupid.
However, they have all heard about it.
Behind Xie Xunfeng, there was Xiao Yiran's guidance.
Today, Xiao Yiran has been transferred to Cining Palace.
Without Xiao Yiran's guidance, Xie Xunfeng might become a fool again.
"Xie Prozi? The eldest prince recommends you so much? Are you willing? Help me investigate this assassin case?" Xiao Shentian looked at Xie Xunfeng and said.
"Your Majesty, what benefit can you give me?" Xie Xunfeng asked Xiao Shentian.
As soon as he said this, the audience burst into laughter again.
Sure enough, without Xiao Yiran's guidance, his naivety was undoubtedly revealed.
Xiao Shentian said, "What benefits do you want!"
"If I find out about the assassination, let Xiao Nalan and I break off the engagement!" Xie Xunfeng said firmly.
