The prime minister responded quickly, but after looking at Shangguan Ye and then at Murong Qiufeng, his expression became a little subtle, his face became a little rosy, he seemed a little excited, and he coughed a few times.
These few sounds immediately brought everyone back to their senses.
"Oh, sir." The prime minister's wife hurriedly stroked the prime minister's chest to help him breathe, while Murong Qiufeng also went over, supported the prime minister, and asked him to sit up and breathe first, "Father, why don't I ask the master to go down the mountain and take a look.
"
"Hey, no, no, no, it's just the cold. Don't bother your master. Madam, go get some soup to moisten your throat."
"Well, then you guys have a good chat." The prime minister's wife was also shrewd and immediately understood that they had something to talk about, so she left first.
"Your Highness, please sit down. Feng'er, please sit down too. My father has something to ask you."
Shangguan Ye was not polite and sat down on another chair in the room without speaking.
Murong Qiufeng nodded and sat down on the chair next to the bed. He was a little nervous and didn't understand what his father wanted to ask.
Murong Xing calmed down a little, cleared his throat, and then asked, "Feng'er, tell me, father, what's going on outside now?"
"This." Murong Qiufeng's heart tightened and she frowned slightly, "Father, now..."
"Don't say it's okay. In fact, my father knows what is going on, so you don't have to think about hiding it. Is your elder brother... really doing something treacherous? I want to listen to the truth."
Murong Qiufeng's heart sank, and then he sighed. Sure enough, he still couldn't hide it, but he didn't know what to say.
Shangguan Ye saw that he was in trouble and spoke for him, "The evidence regarding Murong Hao is already conclusive. I guess...Hou Qianxing will also come to visit soon."
Although he had guessed it in advance and made a long time of mental preparation, Murong Xing was still shocked. He felt dizzy and coughed violently.
Murong Qiufeng quickly sat down by the bed and helped him press a few acupuncture points, "Father, Feng'er will find a way to deal with elder brother's matters. Father doesn't have to worry. We must take good care of our health first. This Prime Minister's Office also needs father to take charge of the overall situation."
.”
Murong Xing shook his head and waved his hand, seeming to have aged a lot in an instant, "No, there is no need to work for him. This is what the traitor brought upon himself. Your Majesty, if that traitor... Your Majesty, please don't embarrass yourself and deal with it impartially. If necessary, your subordinates will cooperate."
, even if you tell me, it's just a pity that I have been an official for forty years and dedicated my life to Yanguo, but my old age has been stained by it."
"One person is responsible for the work. The prime minister has worked hard for Yanguo and has made great achievements. He will definitely leave his name in history. As for Murong Hao... maybe he can only trade less for more."
Murong Xing closed his eyes a little tiredly, as if he was afraid of crying.
Murong Qiufeng felt very sad when he heard this. Although they had not gotten along well since childhood, and there was not much affection between them, they were still eldest brothers who were related by blood after all.
"Of course, there is no way out. If Murong Hao is willing to cooperate, he may be able to make meritorious deeds. Although he still cannot escape the guilt, he can still save his life.
"Young Master? Young Master?...Ah..."
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from outside.
A guard came to inform that Hou Qianxing was coming, but he didn't want to meet Murong Hao at the door who was hurriedly trying to leave. He called out in confusion, but he didn't want Murong Hao to take out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and point it at him.
He poked it over.
Several people in the room were surprised when they heard the scream.
Shangguan Ye had already walked out first, followed by Murong Qiufeng.
Opening the door, but without going out, you can see a bloody guard lying at the door, with a dagger stuck in his waist and abdomen, and he is dying.
The two of them looked at each other and must have guessed what was going on. They hurriedly chased outside. It happened that Hou Qianxing had already led people to scatter around looking for someone, and he also led people towards this direction.
"Have you seen Murong Hao?" Shangguan Ye stepped forward and asked directly. Hou Qianxing was slightly stunned, then shook his head, "No? What's wrong?"
The expressions of the two of them changed slightly, and Murong Qiufeng's eyes widened even more. He secretly said "Oh no," and hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister's yard.
Shangguan Ye looked gloomy and followed him. Hou Qianxing didn't see him, and it was impossible for him to escape from the courtyard in such a short time without being discovered by Hou Qianxing, who was coming over. In other words, he was still hiding in the courtyard.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Murong Qiufeng slowly retreating from the room, her voice thinking very urgently and painfully.
When they retreated to the courtyard, they saw Murong Hao holding the dagger originally inserted into the guard's body in one hand, and grabbing the prime minister's shoulder with the other, with the dagger resting on his throat.
At this moment, half of his face was covered in blood, and his eyes were red, looking a bit ferocious, with fear and reluctance. The hand holding the dagger trembled from time to time, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, or I won't."
You’re welcome.”
Murong Xing, on the other hand, had a calm face, but the pain in his eyes was obviously abnormal.
"Brother, please see clearly, this is my father. Are you capable of doing this?" Murong Qiufeng's face was a little pale, angry and worried. His eyes were fixed on the dagger. He was afraid of irritating Murong Hao as he spoke, so he was worried about him.
If you are not careful, it will be over...
"Ah, Master... Hao'er, what are you doing?" The prime minister's wife heard the sound and rushed over. She immediately screamed and turned pale.
Murong Hao widened his ferocious eyes and said in a vicious voice, "Of course I know what I am doing. You don't need to remind me one by one. Get out of the way and let me leave, otherwise the sword has no eyes."
Hou Qianxing was also livid with anger, "Murong Hao, you can even attack your own father, are you still a human being?"
"You don't need to teach me, father? Humph, maybe he has never regarded me as his son. In his eyes, his only son is Murong Qiufeng. What am I? I am just an illegitimate son, but he trained me to assist Murong.
I'm just Qiu Feng's assistant. He thinks of everything for him. What will I get in exchange for my hard work for this family? Once Murong Qiu Feng comes, nothing belongs to me. This is basically making a wedding dress for others. He has
He's good at everything and doesn't know anything, so why should he hand over the family to him?"
"Hao'er, what are you talking about? The master has never thought of handing over Murong Ming to Feng'er. His preferred heir has always been you." The Prime Minister's wife burst into tears.
Murong Hao sneered, "Don't call me so nice. You are the same. You only have your own children in your heart. Don't think that you always dislike me. The kindness of a mother and the filial piety of a son are just superficial. I am not as good as him in any way. But
He is a sick and laborious man, why when he comes, everyone's hearts turn to him, even the princes and emperors turn to him."
Murong Qiufeng's face was so pale that he looked ugly. It seemed that he was hit hard. It turned out that it was because of him that Murong Hao went astray.
"You can't compare to him in anything, not even a hair." In the chaos, Shangguan Ye's voice suddenly sounded. It was steady, powerful and calm, and seemed to have some contagion, making everyone's nervous hearts feel a little at ease.
After a while. Listening to the content of his words, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and their hearts were in their throats. Wasn't this meant to stimulate him on purpose?
