Tang Yi was so scared that he immediately peed his pants. This was the first time he'd seen the emperor. He hadn't thought that the emperor would be so much younger than he'd imagined.

It was said that he was the good brother of his cousin. He seemed to have helped the wrong person this time.

"Your majesty, this subject knows his wrongs. Actually, this subject wasn't being hunted down at all. I was just afraid of paying the money back, so I left the manor."

He would rather be treated as someone who had opened his eyes to money than let Meng Ling Xuan know that he had the intention of colluding with Shangguan Xiong.

"You actually left the mansion so that you wouldn't have to return the money?" The emperor was also shocked. Although fifty thousand silver was not a small sum, it wasn't enough to make him pay his debt.

It looks like the relationship between the royal estate and this manor is quite chaotic.

"Song Xiangsi, what do you think?" At this moment, the emperor was entrusting all authority to speak to Song Xiangsi. It was as if Song Xiangsi would be in charge of today's case.

"Me? "What thoughts can I have? I already said that I don't care about the fifty thousand silver taels, who would have known that my cousin would have such thoughts?" Song Xiangsi spoke casually. In her heart, she was extremely pained by the fifty thousand taels of silver.

No matter what, it was money that he had earned through hard work. How could he not feel sorry for it?

"Your majesty, the Imperial Jade Seal has been brought over for you." At the same time, Eunuch Guo brought the Imperial Jade Seal from the palace as well. He even brought over the books that had been gifted to the ministers over the years with great care.

"Why did you bring this book over? It's rare for an old fellow like you to be so smart." The emperor hadn't noticed it before, but now that he looked at it, he could tell that this was the jade he had given to the Shangguan family a few years ago.

He did not expect Eunuch Guo to have such good eyesight at such a young age. He was truly his right-hand man.

Only Eunuch Guo whispered in the emperor's ear, "His Highness the crown prince told me to bring these."

The Crown Prince had seen this piece of jade a long time ago. Of course, it wasn't something that his own King's Manor had. From top to bottom, his mansion didn't have this material.

"Your majesty, this piece of jade was given to you by the Western Regions. In order to show the Shangguan family's outstanding contribution this year, you gave it to them directly." There is no such fine jade in my prince's mansion. "

Meng Ling Xuan spoke, and as soon as he said that, he immediately pointed his spear at Shangguan Xiong.

Perhaps even Shangguan Xiong himself did not know that the person he had been proud of at that time had become the reason why he was now a prisoner.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. He only wanted to find a piece of jade and let the craftsman carve it. He didn't expect that it would become the source of his fatal disaster.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has been wronged! A few days ago, a burglar suddenly broke into his house. Originally, he had counted up everything and thought that there was no loss. "Thinking about it today, I'm afraid that this humble subject's Imperial Jade Seal was stolen by that thief back then."

What kind of lies couldn't Shangguan Xiong tell in order to protect himself?

"I'm afraid that the thief is a fake, it's more likely that you intentionally tried to frame him." Song Xiangsi did not panic at all when it came to making up for it. It was only now that he realized that his husband had already known about it.

The emperor was clear now. "Sir Shangguan, if you hadn't said it so urgently, I might have been able to reluctantly believe you. But you didn't mention it before, what was your intention? "As the judge of this case, you actually didn't investigate this Imperial Jade Seal. Are you really investigating this case?"

The Emperor knew it was a trap, but he had not expected it to be Shangguan Xiong. It was even worse than he had imagined. In the past six months, the Shangguan family had challenged the royal authority every single time. They were even more excessive now. It seemed that they had to deal with it.

"Servant, the Prime Minister is too old to be the Prime Minister. We approve his return to his homeland and leave the capital one day."

Saying that they were releasing him was just a disguised form of exile.

"You already knew it was Shangguan Xiong? Then why did you still go to the prison? " Song Xiangsi was very curious. Since she knew, why didn't she say so earlier?

The Emperor was also curious. Indeed, this brother of his was much stronger than he was.

"Nothing, I thought there would be some sort of conspiracy behind it, but I seem to have overthought it." In reality, Meng Ling Xuan also thought that he could discover something else, but it was just Shangguan Xiong's revenge.

As for Tang Yi, the Royal Mansion would no longer accept him. He still had no idea where he would head to.

Now, the Shangguan Family had collapsed, this was a crime of framing, even Shangguan Yi could not escape responsibility.

"This old man has brought you well, yet you're actually helping the Prince's Mansion. You think I've misjudged you!" This was what Shangguan Xiong had told Tang Yi.

"I thought that what you did for me was real, but I didn't expect you to keep lying to me. I thought you were the one who misjudged me!" This was what Shangguan Yi had told Tang Yi.

Just when he was about to give up on Meng Ling Xuan and be moved by Tang Yi, something like this happened. Shangguan Yi discovered Tang Yi's greed, his vanity, and his insidiousness.

"I'm sorry." Tang Yi only apologized to Shangguan Yi, but he had to admit that he was indeed a bad person, a bad person in every sense of the word.

He had fifty thousand silver taels and bought a house. Then, he stole Shangguan Yi away and brought her to his house for other reasons.

"Give my daughter back to me. I know you took her away." Shangguan Xiong seemed to have aged a lot, his hair was a lot whiter, his daughter was a treasure in his heart, he had to take her away.

Even if he did not have the ability to give Shangguan Yi what she wanted, he wanted his daughter to stay by his side.

"Shangguan, don't worry. Although I've betrayed you before, I'm sincere to your daughter." Do you really want her to suffer in the country with you? It's not that I'm talking about it, but whether or not you can make it to the countryside alive is a problem.

Tang Yi's words were not completely unreasonable. Shangguan Xiong knew that if his daughter followed him, they would have to suffer a lot along the way.

Her daughter had been spoiled since she was young. This was something she had never experienced before.

"Alright, I'll give you my daughter, but you have to promise that you'll let her live a good life." Shangguan Xiong seemed to have done a lot of courage, maybe this was the only way he could relax.

When Tang Yi heard Shangguan Xiong's words, his face first showed astonishment, then it was followed by a solemn vow that he would treat Shangguan Yi well for the rest of his life.

"Alright, then let me meet with Yi'er." Shangguan Xiong was leaving the capital tomorrow, of course he would be reluctant to part with his daughter.

It was already the second day after he was robbed by Tang Yi. Shangguan Yi did not eat and tried to force Tang Yi with a hunger strike, but it was to no avail.

When he saw his father, he had lost a lot of weight.

"Yi'er, you've gotten skinnier. It's just that Daddy wasn't able to take good care of you." Shangguan Xiong was a kind father to his daughter.
