As soon as the stunning daughter-in-law opened her eyes, the abstinent prince pinched her waist and

Chapter 617 Nothing to say
The emperor looked distressed: "You have suffered such a serious crime, how can I bear to punish you again? However, the emperor has been given the power by God and cannot be deceived. If I let this crime of deceiving the emperor be lightly, I am afraid that people in the future will Everyone can find reasons to deceive the emperor."

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Xie Ding came out to speak, "My son was injured, and I was afraid that my parents would be sad and worried if they knew about it, so they would not tell them. I think that if even such filial piety should be judged as bullying, it would be unavoidable. It’s chilling.”

Mu Qingfeng came out and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that with the experience and methods of Bai Hou and the Crown Prince, they will not only consider the issue of filial piety. They must know that this is a national matter! But national affairs are not reported to the Emperor. This is not bullying." Jun, what is it again?"

"Your Majesty!" Mu Boqian came out and said: "I think that even if it is a concealment, there must be a motive. Liu Kuang deceived the emperor in order to subvert the Jin Dynasty. His Highness the Crown Prince concealed it, but he was loyal! Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty. !”

"To deceive the emperor is to deceive the emperor! The crime of deceiving the emperor must be punished!" Mu Qingfeng said sharply, "I believe that both the prince and Bai Hou should be held accountable! Otherwise, if this precedent is set, there will be endless troubles in the future!"

……

The two of them argued word by word. The others looked at Mu Qingfeng, then at Mu Boqian, and finally at Mu Yu: "Mr. Mu, what do you think?"

Mu Yu glanced at Mu Qingfeng with a dark face and said, "Stop arguing, the emperor will make his own decision on this matter."

So everyone shut up and waited to see what the emperor would say.

The emperor looked at Bai Hexing: "Bai Aiqing, what did you say?"

Bai Hexing replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has reported everything truthfully. I have nothing to say."

"You have nothing to say?" The emperor suddenly became angry. "The prince was still a child at that time. If you want to deceive the emperor, the main responsibility lies with you! You have nothing to say?"

Bai Hexing went over and knelt down: "I will let the emperor do whatever he wants."

The emperor did not dare to force people to die: "For the sake of saving the prince's life, you will be exempted from the death penalty——"

"Father!" Huan Chuan suddenly said, "My son still has something for you!"

Emperor: "What?"

Huanchuan asked someone to send two things to the emperor.

That was the secret edict that the emperor asked Xie Ding to send to the border.

First he was asked to bring a copy, and then Xie Ying was asked to replace it with a new secret edict.

However, after they left, Huan Chuan and Bai Hexing were not there and remained missing.

Now these two secret edicts actually appeared in Huan Chuan's hands.

Could it be that... Xie Ding rebelled?

He can lead the Yulin Guards. If he rebels, he, the emperor, will become a completely empty title!

The emperor's expression changed again and again. He glanced at Xie Ding, then at Huan Chuan, and said in a somewhat unsteady tone: "Nianzai Baihou saved the prince's life and made great contributions, so the merits and demerits are equal to each other!"

Bai Hexing: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"If nothing happens, let's dismiss the court! The prince and Duke Xie will follow me." The emperor got up and left.

Huan Chuan and Xie Ding followed him into the palace.When they arrived at the bedroom where the emperor lived, the emperor sat there without saying a word and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty?" Xie Ding asked, "You have called me here. What are your orders?"

The emperor raised his eyes and suddenly said sharply: "The prince deceives the king and disobeys the emperor. Take him down!"

Xie Ding looked at the emperor for a while and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you pardon Bai Hou and the prince?"

Emperor: "I pardoned Bai Hexing, but I didn't say I would pardon Huan Chuan!"

Xie Ding: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escaped death and made great contributions to the Jin Dynasty——"

"I want you to call someone to take him down!" The emperor patted the table, "Do you listen to my order or not?"

Xie Ding was silent for a moment, kneeling in front of the emperor, lowering his head and saying nothing.

The emperor picked up the tea cup at hand and threw it at him: "You have indeed rebelled!" Xie Ding said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Xie family will always be loyal to the Jin Dynasty! I wish that the Jin Dynasty will last forever! Your Royal Highness is both civilized and military, virtuous and resourceful. , I believe that in his hands, the Jin Dynasty will definitely prosper!"

The emperor's face was full of ridicule: "What? I don't have to say who will hand over the kingdom of Jin Dynasty, right? It's up to you to decide?"

Xie Ding kowtows: "I don't dare! I am lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, and I should live and die for the emperor! But at the same time, I also have the duty to admonish the emperor! Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is what the people want, please think twice!"

The emperor sneered, but did not dare to make things too tense, and said, "Please step back first."

Xie Ding retreated.

The emperor smashed the two secret edicts that Huan Chuan had just given him on the table: "In what way did you bribe Xie Ding? He has always been upright."

Huan Chuan replied: "Xie Gong cares about the world and can distinguish right from wrong."

The emperor sneered again: "You and Bai Hexing are really powerful! They really recovered the Northern Dynasty and overthrew the Southern Dynasty. This is to unify the world!"

Huan Chuan's face didn't change: "I named my son 'Yi', that's what it means! Didn't my father already know about it?"

The emperor choked for a moment and asked: "Then what will happen to you now? Kill me? Replace me?"

Huan Chuan went over, picked up the two secret edicts in front of him, and said: "The first secret edict was to kill me. The second one was changed to escort me back. It seems that my father still has some affection for me." ."

The emperor didn't speak, feeling somewhat guilty.

"What you do is what follows. My son's fatherly love for you can only go so far." Huan Chuan said, "It's limited to saving your life."

The emperor twisted with anger.

"In the future, if you still want to be emperor, do some human work! Don't hold on to me and my father-in-law all day long!" Huan Chuan said, "Otherwise..."

He threw the two sealed edicts into the trash can, smashing them very accurately.

The emperor became even more twisted.

"Same words, please tell Wu Mi and your precious son to be her concubine and Prince of Liang peacefully." Huan Chuan added, "Otherwise, you understand!"

The emperor covered his heart, his face getting worse and worse.

Huan Chuan went straight out.

The emperor held it in for a long time and shouted: "Come here! Call the imperial doctor to come and take a look at me. My chest is so tight!"

……

East Palace.

"Eh? Why is Yan Chen so cooperative?" Bai Xianyuan asked Huan Chuan.

"Because we have hostages." Huan Chuan said.

"Hostage? Who is it?" Bai Xianyuan wondered.

Huan Chuan: "He has a daughter who is around us. Which one do you think it is?"

Bai Xianyuan thought for a while: "It can't be... Mrs. Shao Ji, right?"

That Yan Chen was the one who bewitched Huan Chuan back then. Speaking of the poison, Bai Xianyuan thought of Mrs. Shao Ji.

Huan Chuan: "Exactly! Smart! He cares about his daughter and told us that as long as he lets her live, he can do anything."

Bai Xianyuan: "At first, my mother suspected that she was a spy of the Northern Dynasty. So, my mother's suspicion was right, right?"

Huan Chuan: "Yes. Yan Chen's original name was Hu Ge. He was born in Miao territory. He used poisonous poison to harm people and his whole family was exiled. His family members died one after another, leaving only one daughter. Hu Ge simply took her and fled the Southern Dynasties. After going to the North, she became a eunuch in the palace and quickly gained the attention and importance of Tuoba Pi. Mrs. Shao Ji was smart, could speak the Southern Dynasty dialect, and hated the Southern Dynasties. She was trained by Tuoba Pi as a craftsman and secretly sent to the Capital City.”
