"That's right, he gathered three hundred and fifty thousand troops with King Anguang, and the ninth prince and that Rong He County Lord also brought out ironclad evidence to prove that the old master and King Anping colluded. The emperor was furious, so he won't listen to anything the old master said." Mu Bai wiped the sweat off his face and said with a trembling voice.
"Ninth Prince and Lian Ruyue?" A hint of thought flashed within Xiao He's eyes.
"Second master, please run away. The lord is your father and King Anping is your biological father. No matter what, you will always be responsible for him. Please run away." Mu Bai looked around in panic as he urged Xiao He to leave quickly.
Xiao He, however, had already calmed down. No matter where I run to, I am still Xiao Zhenhai's son, the grandson of Lu Shang. Furthermore, this is not the world's land, no matter how much I run away, I will never be able to escape from the emperor's palm. "
"But, that … "Then …"
"Young duke!" As he was speaking, Jiang Keji led several guards with sabers over. He cupped his fists together and said, "Young Marquis, I've offended you. His Majesty has an order to lock you up."
Xiao He laughed bitterly and said, "Thinking back then, when my father and I triumphantly returned from Liao Prefecture and tens of thousands of citizens rejoiced, the Emperor personally led a group of princes and princes to welcome us at the city gate. How glorious was my Xiao family and how high-spirited was I, Xiao He, was.
"Capture Commander Jiang."
As Xiao He spoke, he extended his hands and clenched them into fists.
Jiang Keji hesitated for a moment before gesturing to the guards behind him, using iron chains to tie up Xiao He's hands.
"Close the young duke's carriage and escort him to the capital!" At Jiang Keji's command, Xiao He was escorted outside. Under the sunlight, his back was straight. He still did not lose the demeanor of a Heavenly Treasure Great General.
A prison cart was waiting for Xiao He, and on both sides of the prison cart were four guards in charge of escorting him. When he saw the person inside the prison cart in front of him, his entire body shuddered as if he was struck by lightning.
He saw his father, who was always so high and mighty, standing in a square inch large prison cart, wearing only a white prison uniform. His hair was messy, his neck was shackled, his hands were forced to be tied to the sides of his head, his feet were tied with rough iron chains, and in an instant, he had aged a lot, like a stray dog!
"Father …" His voice trembled, he called out, and his eyes reddened.
Xiao Zhenhai also saw Xiao He and looked at him coldly. After a "hmph", he turned his head away.
"Young duke, get on the prison cart." The guard at the side said.
Xiao He tightly stared at Xiao Zhenhai and numbly climbed onto the prison cart. In his memories, his father had always been a domineering and domineering person. Everyone respectfully addressed him as the Emperor. He had never seen his father in such a sorry state.
"Let's go!"
With a single command from Jiang Keji, the carriage wheels began to rumble as they headed in the direction of the capital.
"I have seen the birds chirping in and out of Jinling Jade Palace, Qin Huai Water Pavilion bloomed early, who knows if it could be easily frozen or not! You see him get up from the Zhu Residence, you see him entertaining guests, and you see his building collapse! "
A desolate song sounded out, and Xiao He felt a burst of coldness in his heart. He saw him rise up from the Zhu Residence, watch him feast his guests, and see his building collapse! Is this the Xiao family?
Within the hall.
Everyone retreated, and in the end, only Feng Yunzheng, Feng Qianyue, and Lian Ruyue remained. The moonlight shone like the setting sun on their faces —
Feng Yunzheng walked to Lian Ruyue's side, bent down, and gently asked, "Are you okay?"
Lian Xiyue nodded, and Feng Yunzheng smiled.
Feng Qianyue stood in front of them with an expressionless face, and he coldly looked at the tacit understanding between the two of them as if they were one person. The corners of his eyes twitched faintly, and the corners of his mouth were ice-cold like snow.
"Let's go. Mufei wants to see you." Feng Yunzheng said to Lian Xiyue.
"Yes." Lian Ru Yue nodded as the two of them walked outside one after the other. When Lian Rou Yue passed by Feng Qian Yue, Feng Qian suddenly grabbed onto her wrist and pulled her. A powerful rage burst forth from her pair of scarlet eyes!
"Fourth Prince, take care!" Feng Yunzheng frowned and immediately pressed down on the back of Feng Qianyue's hand. A thick killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes!
For a moment, the three of them stuck together. The surrounding air was so tense that it felt like it was going to suffocate.
Feng Qianyue slowly turned his head and looked at Feng Yunzheng with a death stare. Immediately, the two men engaged in a confrontation, Feng Qianyue's eyes trembling, and Feng Yunzheng tightly faced him with an aura that gradually overshadowed Feng Qianyue's.
"Fourth Prince, your background has already collapsed. You should hurry up and think of a way to protect yourself." Just as Feng Qianyue and Feng Yunzheng were at loggerheads with their swords drawn, when the first attack was about to be released, Lian Xiyue, who was grabbed by the wrist, spoke, speaking indifferently.
Feng Qianyue was stunned, his heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp sword, and the big hand that tightly gripped Lian Rue's wrist slowly loosened.
Feng Yunzheng also released his hand and stood behind Lian Ruyue as if he was the absolute protector.
Lian Ruyue raised her gaze and carefully looked at the slight change in Feng Qianyue's expression. She wanted to properly appreciate it and remember his interesting expression.
Lian Ruyue, I just want to ask you a question. Did you think of the command token? In order to lure Xiao Zhenhai and Yours Truly into the trap, you used the command token to make such a huge detour. Feng Qianyue tightly clenched his fist inside his sleeve. He maintained his calm, but his voice still trembled a little. His scarlet eyes stared intently at Lian Yue's eyes.
Feng Yunzheng's face carried a light smile. He answered for Lian Xiyue: "Fourth Brother, let me tell you. There are a total of two things that you've said wrongly. First, the command to push the situation is a plan that Moon Child and I came up with together …"
"Secondly, Xiao Zhenhai is not the only one who was tricked. And you, Fourth Prince, don't seem to understand this." Lian Ruyue slowly added.
Feng Qianyue suddenly looked towards Lian Rue, and his heart seemed to be pulled into her hands. With a light pinch, he felt a stifling pain.
"Don't be happy too early." After he said this, he walked out from the two of them with large strides. His expression was as cold as ice.
When he left, his figure was straight and his expression was cold and resolute without the slightest bit of panic. It was as if he had already grasped the situation in his hands and no one could tell that he was someone who had just suffered a heavy injury.
He walked quickly — —
"Your Highness!" Ying Kong, who was waiting outside, quickly stepped forward to greet them
Feng Qianyue, on the other hand, pursed his lips without saying a word, and quickly returned to his courtyard. After passing through the fake mountain, the turtle in the pond was still leisurely swimming, unaware of the affairs of the world.
Feng Qianyue walked into the house. Just as Ying Kong was about to go up, the door was already closed. Ying Kong's nose hurt, and he stopped and stood outside the door.
The moment the door closed, the calm expression on Feng Qianyue's face instantly dissipated.
His legs felt weak as he leaned against the door. His eyes were frantic as large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, he suddenly remembered the look his royal father gave him before he left — —
What exactly did that look mean?
Most importantly, Xiao Zhenhai's title plate had been removed from his head. He had taken off his black veil hat, and had ridden on a prison cart all the way back to the palace to be watched by the commoners. This meant that the Imperial Father no longer intended to give this Young Master of the Kingdom any more chances!
Not only Xiao Zhenhai, even his two sons, Xiao He and Xiao Hu were not spared. They were all sent back to the capital by the carriage.
The Xiao family was about to collapse!
As for him, Xiao Zhenhai had broken a bone and tendons connection with him, so his father would definitely investigate Xiao Zhenhai while he was searching for him!
With Xiao Zhenhai's character, could it be that in order to protect himself, he would place all of the responsibility on him, the Fourth Prince?
