The little chamberlain announced the news, and the emperor was so shocked that he stood up from his chair.
He was holding the table with both hands, his face was so pale that he didn't even notice how badly his hands were shaking.
In the past, he had indeed had the intention to kill the eldest princess and Xiao Yu, but until now, when he heard the words that Xiao Yu Rang was killed by the explosion, his heart beat violently, and his limbs were filled with fear.
Xiao Yu is dead, who will do the work for him?
Do you want your own son to sacrifice his life?
He can't just sacrifice his life by himself... Besides, he can't fight against the noble family himself.
Unprecedented fear caused the emperor's eyes to burst with blinding anger and reluctance.
Xu Guogong was kneeling on the ground in shock.
Duke Xu Guogong was terrified, everyone said that the emperor had no true feelings for the King of Nanhuai... bullshit!
Without true feelings, how can the emperor be like this now?
This expression was even more painful than when his own father died.
Xu Guogong's mind was spinning, listening to the emperor's trembling voice, grief-stricken and furious, "Come in, come in, let my princess come in!"
There was a muffled creaking sound.
The heavy door of the royal study room was pushed open by the young chamberlain. The eldest princess limped in from the outside, holding her waist. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying on her pale face.
She didn't walk smoothly at all. She was beaten up before, how could she recover so easily?
Halfway through the journey, he couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let Yu'er make the decision!"
The eldest princess cried so hard that her voice was hoarse. She had cried before she came here, but now her voice could hardly come out, and all that was left was the pain that filled her eyes and hurt her heart.
She held the ground with one hand, made a fist with the other, and beat the ground weakly and desperately.
"Let Yu'er make the decision!"
"What's going on? What's going on?" The emperor hurriedly walked out from behind the desk and stepped forward to help the eldest princess up.
But the eldest princess was injured and could not sit down. She could not lie down in the imperial study room, so she waved her hand to reject him.
"Just now, I came back with Yu'er's safety to report that this morning Yu'er took people to Jinnan to check the Jinnan Pier, and there was a sudden explosion at the terminal.
I don’t know how much black powder was buried, which blew up the entire pier beyond recognition. No one who was at the pier at the time was spared, and even the residents near the pier were affected, causing the walls to collapse."
The emperor's throat tightened, "Yu'er..."
The eldest princess was heartbroken and said, "Yu'er is at the dock! Your Majesty, please make the decision for us orphans and widowed mothers! I have no consort, no son, and no queen. Only Your Majesty and Yu'er are left, Your Majesty!!!"
"
The eldest princess's words, "All I have left is Your Majesty and Yu'er," stirred the emperor's heart, which had been silent for a long time. Every detail of his childhood and eldest sister surged forward in an instant.
The emperor clenched his fist angrily and banged the table behind him, "Has the search and rescue started over there?"
The eldest princess shook her head, "Now Jinnan is in chaos. When I came back safely, I said that because the prefect of Jinnan was also at the pier at the time, so... there is no one in charge of the pier now, and search and rescue all depends on...
Relying on the families of dock workers.
I want to dig through the rubble in case there are survivors.
Ping An arrested a few government officials to dig out Yu'er, but those government officials did not know whose orders they listened to, and they all responded perfunctorily. He had no choice but to come back in a hurry to report for help, Your Majesty..."
"Come here!" The emperor immediately gave an order, "Pass it to me and tell the Jingwei camp, no, to the Xishan camp. The Xishan camp dispatched five thousand elite soldiers and rushed to Jinnan immediately to dig for me with all their strength!"
The head chamberlain glanced at the eldest princess, agreed repeatedly, and ran out to pass the news.
Xu Guogong was shocked in the local area.
My mind was racing, could this be the good strategy Ning Guogong said?
This plan...to kill Xiao Yu directly was indeed a sure way to bring trouble to future generations, but why did he feel that something was not right?
Just as he was thinking about it, the eldest princess looked at him with a sad look.
Xu Guogong subconsciously trembled at the gaze, and the eldest princess raised her hand and pointed at him, "It's you, it must be you. This morning, you arranged for someone to go to the winery to blow up my daughter-in-law. The plan failed. You
In order to clear away the suspicion, you blew up your own mansion... Okay, okay, you are really a ruthless person!
I never expected that you would blow up my Yuer to death!
Isn't it just because your family controls taxes and prices across the country, and Yu'er shared His Majesty's worries and affected your interests? You are really cruel-hearted!"
The eldest princess's direct identification without any hesitation made Xu Guogong suddenly realize something was wrong that he had not figured out yet.
Xiao Yu was killed by the bomb.
It's clean and there will be no more mess.
But someone has to take responsibility for the murder of Xiao Yu.
And he... is the most appropriate murderer.
Because Xiao Yu only found him.
The grudge between Xiao Yu and him is not a secret.
Everyone knows that the three corpses from the eldest princess's mansion are still parked in front of his mansion.
He found the fake Xiao Jiyuan...
Duke Xu suddenly broke out in cold sweat and his heart beat wildly, "No, no, your Royal Highness the eldest princess is aware of it. Your Majesty is aware of it. I am wronged. I am wronged. I did not harm the King of Nanhuai, let alone the Princess of Nanhuai. Today...
.”
"It's not you? I want to ask you, the fake Xiao Jiyuan was not found by you? Didn't you kill him in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments?" The eldest princess asked with a cracked eye and a hoarse voice, interrupting Xu Guogong's words.
Xu Guogong shivered, subconsciously took a half step back, and swallowed his saliva.
Regardless of the pain in her body, the eldest princess stood up from the ground and took a step forward to grab Xu Guogong's neck, "Is it you? Is it you who is so vicious that you let people pretend to be my consort? Ah! Is it you!"
The eldest princess seemed to be crazy.
"No, it's not me, it's not me." Xu Guogong ducked away.
The eldest princess burst into tears, "Your Majesty, let me make the decision."
The emperor's face was as gloomy as iron in the cold winter months. Mr. Xu Guogong had never seen the emperor so angry in his life.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth trembled, "Come here, take Duke Xu for me, and have the whole house confiscated and executed!"
At this moment, he, who had been cowardly for half his life, seemed to be a man worthy of great responsibilities.
"I have been tolerant of your family in every possible way, but you have pushed your limits time and time again, letting people impersonate you as your consort, and if you blow up the King of Nanhuai to death, then the next step will be to blow me up!"
The death of the rabbit makes the fox sad.
The emperor only felt that if Xiao Yu died, he would probably become the family's favorite.
Anger coursed through his internal organs, roaring, "Where's the person? Dead? I've caught him!"
After he came back after giving the order, the chamberlain standing at the foot of the wall immediately said: "Come quickly and take down Duke Xu!"
