Conspiracy

Chapter 68

Shang Yu tapped his fingers on the dragon chair. Hearing Shang Yuchen's sincere tone, he was completely thinking about the overall situation. When he lowered his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Do you know that what you did is to tie yourself to the same rope as him. If he really has the heart of disobedience and you are implicated, the position of the crown prince will definitely be lost."

Shang Yuchen shook his head without hesitation, "I am a prince and a subject, and I have no shame in my heart. I also feel sorry for Marshal Xiao on behalf of my subjects. His son was killed and he had to help."

"Go on." Shang Yu closed his eyes and said no more.

"Yes, Erchen retire."

Shang Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, he hadn't seen him for seven years, and he was worried that he would change, but he was still proud, and would rather die than give in.

Outside the city gate of the capital, the sound of the xun stopped, but everyone was still intoxicated by it.

Su Zhen looked at the location of the imperial palace, Xiao Chuhong's life or death depends entirely on the emperor's mood.If the prince remembered the agreement between them, the situation might be better.

Xiao Chuhong was too stubborn, but it was a pity that the steel was very easy to break, but he had no other choice.

After returning after seven years, what greeted him was such a situation.

The eunuch in the palace soon sent an imperial decree, asking Xiao Chuhong and others to enter the palace to have an audience, instead of putting them in the prison.

Once stepping into this capital city, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's lair, if there is a slight mistake, there will be no place to bury him.

The soldiers pushed his wheelchair behind Xiao Chuhong, and the group headed towards the palace, while Lu Jingshu took Xiao Mohan's coffin back to the general's mansion first.

Along with all civil and military officials, Xiao Mohan and the generals in the army entered the palace.

Along the way, all the palace people looked at them with admiration, but more fear.

On the Golden Luan Hall, all the ministers prostrated and shouted long live, but Xiao Chuhong sat on the wheelchair, straightened his waist and looked directly at the person sitting on the dragon chair above.After experiencing the slaughter on the battlefield, even facing the majesty of the emperor, he still can't change his face.

"All Aiqings calm down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shang Yu frame quietly looked at Xiao Chuhong, thoughtful.

"The minister Xiao Chuhong came to see the emperor, but he was unable to salute due to serious injuries to his legs. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Even so, everyone didn't hear his guilt and apology.

"Xiao Chuhong, I heard that you dared to let me issue an edict against myself. You are so brave! Do you know that if the situation is not true, you should be punished by death!"

"I am disrespectful to the emperor, and I am willing to accept the punishment. But there must be some traitors in the court colluding with the enemy army. I hope the emperor will find out and return Marshal Xiao justice."

His voice was unusually calm, without a trace of ups and downs.

"You said there were treacherous ministers in the court who framed Marshal Xiao. Do you have evidence?"

"Back to the emperor, no!" Although he denied the words, his tone was firm.

"Then you think I'm unfair?"

"Yes!"

The eyes of the two met and interlaced, as if there was an electric current surging, all the courtiers were silent, and no one dared to make a noise.This Xiao Chuhong's character is so tough, completely different from his parents.

"It is impossible to issue an edict of guilt. I will send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter. If you can find evidence and frame up Marshal Xiao, then I will punish you severely and issue an edict to rectify Marshal Xiao's name."

The meaning of Shang Yu's words seems to be upright and awe-inspiring, but in fact it has made a promise that is so difficult that it is almost impossible to realize.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Chuhong clenched his right fist tightly, and let it go quickly, his heart was ups and downs, and hatred abounded.

Looking at the courtiers around him, he knew that the culprit who framed his father must be hidden among these people, but his current strength was simply not enough to compete.

But today's move in front of the city gate can be regarded as forcing the emperor to make a promise.

It's up to people to make things happen. If you haven't tried it, how do you know it's impossible? !

At the same time, in this capital city, everyone's eyes turned to the Xiao Mansion. If anyone made any changes, they would definitely be suspected of being a traitor.

The ministers themselves are in danger, so they will try to avoid it, lest the dirty water get close.

Xiao Chuhong seemed to be impulsive, but he used advance as retreat, pressed on step by step, and saved himself.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Chuhong was more like a tiger driven to the point of nowhere, licking his wounds alone.If anyone dares to get close, he will bite the opponent to death.
