These words sounded at such a quiet moment, which seemed abrupt at first glance, but the gentleness of the voice, like a spring breeze, also gave people a sense of relaxation in this anxious atmosphere.
But when the words fell, everyone realized that the person who spoke was King Yi Xiao Hou.
It was only at this moment that Emperor Xixuan realized that his third son was also in the court. He looked at the sick body and slowly walked out from behind the official, with a pale and bloodless face, stepping on cotton-like steps, and his body became thinner and thinner. , Except for the gentle smile on his face, everything else on this body has become vulnerable.
He was slightly taken aback, how long has it been since he saw this son, why is he so thin and inhuman
Perhaps it was because of his fragile appearance that Emperor Xixuan lowered his voice and asked, "King Yi, what do you want to say? Don't worry, if you have anything to say, your father will do justice for you."
The third son has been in the government for many years, and compared to several brothers, he rarely participates in the government affairs of the court. He liked Xiao Xu like that, so Emperor Xixuan gave Xiao Hou the right to speak with confidence. If Xiao Hou could give Xiao Xu a fatal blow, that would be great! He would be able to push the boat and imprison him.
Xiao Hou raised his eyes and swept it lightly, not missing the calculations in his father's eyes. He lowered his head, and the corner of his mouth was slightly hooked. The father probably wanted to use him as a spearman, but I'm afraid it won't do as he intended today.
"Father, the son really wants the father to do justice for the son."
"Okay, Cao Zhi, show King Yi the seat." Emperor Xixuan was overjoyed, looked at his shaky son, and immediately asked Cao Zhi to move a chair for him, for fear that he would faint due to lack of energy before he said anything.
Xiao Hou's eyes slipped with a very shallow mockery, which soon disappeared from the corner of his eyes.
"Father, my son is also very puzzled about the assassination. My son usually stays in the house to recuperate, and he has no quarrels with others, and has nothing to do with others. Why can he be killed when he goes out? After knowing who the other party is, Erchen will also understand."
Xiao Hou's remarks were as gentle as spring water, and everyone calmed down to listen to him.
Emperor Xixuan was very satisfied, and he still asked with concern, "Who is going to kill you?"
Xiao Hou sighed lightly, and then said very sadly, "That person is You Qingxi, the son of the Prime Minister of Nancang Country, and the minister in charge of this time."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
This is simply different from what they imagined, how come a minister to send relatives appeared for no reason
Rao is a person who is not surprised by Emperor Xixuan, and at this time he was also confused by Xiao Hou's unreasonable words.
And Xiao Xu, who was originally a member of the game but stood like an outsider, looked at the person sitting with his back to him a little unexpectedly. He thought that at this time, Xiao Hou would take the opportunity to take revenge on him, but he didn't think he didn't. Among them What went wrong? This was the first time Xiao Xu showed emotions other than coldness today.
Emperor Xixuan's expression became colder, "What the hell is going on here?"
Xiao Hou didn't care about the reactions of the people present, he lowered his head and mourned, "This Lord You had a crush on the princess when he was in Nancang, but the princess has a pure and good-natured personality, and did not like this sanctimonious hypocrite. When the princess came to the capital, Lord Nayou also followed, and seeing that the princess gave me a betrothed child, she was probably jealous, so she planned this kill."
Having said this, Xiao Hou raised his hand to cover his eyes, and his voice became even more desolate, "The princess came to Fengtai Mountain to remind me of Lord You's plan, but no one thought that the other party had already started, and the princess wanted to save me. , fell off the cliff, and never again..."
Speaking of which, Xiao Hou was already choked up and speechless.
The people present, including Emperor Xixuan, were shocked by the prince who was shaking and weeping. The sadness spread from Xiao Hou's body to the surroundings, and everyone couldn't help but calm down.
Xiao Hou has made it clear before that he will only have Pang Zhijing as his wife in this life. Stories of such unswerving loyalty have already spread in Beijing. These ministers have been talked about by the female friends at home. Now I know that the two really Experience, can not help but sigh.
Soon, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Nancang people are too much to bully us, thinking we have no one in Xixuan?"
"King Yi and the princess are more in love than Jin Jian, but in the end they are separated by yin and yang. Wei Chen really can't stand it. Please, Your Majesty, you must severely punish the real murderer!"
"My minister agrees!"
"The minister also agrees!"
"… "
The minister with a louder voice seconded, and stayed in the hall for a long time.
Emperor Xixuan looked at the ministers who were filled with righteous indignation at the moment, and it was difficult for him to ride a tiger.
Nan Cang people's tricks under his nose are actually provoking his authority, but at this time, it is more urgent than this matter to bring out the matter at hand, and he can't help but think that Nan Cang will really look for him. of bad luck.
Even if they don't care at this time, these ministers will not give up easily. They have long regarded Nan Cang as disgusting. If it hadn't been for the reconciliation of the other party's initiative, they would have threatened to enter Nan Cang's old nest.
Emperor Xixuan looked at Xiao Hou, who was still immersed in grief. He felt that he was an eyesore and unsatisfactory, and he felt even more unhappy in his heart. She was just a woman, and it was worth so much trouble and messed up his plans. It was simply not enough. More than fail!
Taking out his anger at Xiao Hou, Emperor Xixuan's tone was much worse, "Okay, I will investigate General Li and give you justice.
Xiao Hou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Royal Father."
Emperor Xixuan looked at the chaotic court and opposition, and felt even more irritable. He decided not to proceed as planned, his eyes fell on Xiao Xu gloomily, and after explaining a few words to Eunuch Cao, he announced his withdrawal from the court.
The remaining ministers breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived the catastrophe. Today's morning court was the longest and most torturous in history, and they were hurriedly preparing to go home, for fear of what would happen.
However, before leaving, when some ministers passed by Xiao Hou, they all said sympathetically, "My condolences."
Xiao Hou greeted them one by one.
It wasn't until a tall figure appeared in front of him that Xiao Hou raised his head to look at the person in the back light, and bent his lips slightly, "Is the eldest brother also here to express my condolences to me?"
"Why help me?" Xiao Xu asked straight to the point of his doubts.
Xiao Hou was not surprised at all, he smiled lightly, "You are still so direct."
Xiao Xu was amazed at his attitude, he was not as sharp as he used to be, and to be blunt, he just stopped hiding the knife in his smile.
"If you want to deal with me, just come, I won't—"
Before Xiao Xu finished speaking, he was cut off by Xiao Houwen, "Brother Da Huang, you misunderstood."
When Xiao Xu heard the words, he frowned and looked at him, judging the meaning of his words, as if to see through him.
