Chapter 721 Royal Ruthless

Xiao Xu still had a expressionless face, kneeling in the original place with a straight face, not being affected by what Emperor Jing Hong said at all. Just as usual, he seemed cold and noble, as if nothing was in the palace.

Emperor Jinghong looked Xiao Xu up and down, and saw that he looked normal and his eyes were not dodging, so he knew that Xiao Xu had no bad intentions in this matter. He had seen countless people and had been dealing with his ministers for most of his life. This was a bit more confident in his eyes.

"Get up." Emperor Jing Hong's face was a little slow, and he waved his hand, "You are not such a person, but the chaos that happened today was indeed at your banquet, so you have to reflect on this."

Xiao Xu lowered his head and said, "Yes, Father."

Emperor Jing Hong waved his hand and asked Xiao Xu to retreat aside for the time being.

Seeing this, the second prince lowered his eyes to hide his disappointment. With Emperor Jinghong's suspicion, he would definitely suspect that the struggle between the princes was mixed with. He thought that this would cause trouble to Xiao Xu, but he expected that Emperor Jinghong would trust Xiao Xu so much.

He had no doubt that if the matter today had fallen on him, Emperor Jing Hong would not have trusted him so much.

Emperor Jing Hong stood up and walked back and forth between the people kneeling all over the ground with his hands behind his back, like a general inspecting the soldiers.

All he could hear in the hall was the sound of his footsteps and the occasional burst of lights.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated. Rusheng in Chu Junlan's arms seemed to notice the tense atmosphere and hummed with some anxiety.

Emperor Jing Hong stopped in front of Concubine Shu, looked at her from a high place, and smiled: "The beloved concubine just said it was a wild cat fighting?"

Concubine Shu's heart skipped a beat and kowtowed, "Emperor..."

"I have never seen a wild cat fight yet, or should I tell me what happened at that time?"

Concubine Shu's heart sank, and her forehead was pressed against the ground with her fate, and her voice was choked: "Go back to the emperor, I'm just outside, I'm afraid that bad things will spread and insult the face of the Tian family, so I can't find such an excuse. In fact, Wang Cairen deliberately seduced Lu'er. Lu'er couldn't bear to drink and mistake her for being a concubine in her mansion..."

"I don't!" Wang Shitong suddenly knelt up straight, and her eyes were red and loudly refuted, "I heard that the emperor was lucky enough to go to the imperial garden today, so I went there. Because I had caused the emperor to be angry a few days ago, I thought about finding today's opportunity to serve him well, so that the emperor could calm down. But as soon as I arrived and had no time to react, the Sixth Prince rushed forward."

"You're talking nonsense!" If it weren't for the presence of Emperor Jing Hong, Concubine Shu almost slapped him, "It was clearly because you seduced the Sixth Prince and wanted to get the help of the Sixth Prince so that your harem can stand firmer. How dare you argue at this time?"

"Your Majesty, I have not seduced the Sixth Prince, I am only dedicated to the emperor!" Wang Shitong cried.

Emperor Jing Hong looked at the few people with expressionless eyes: "What's going on? Second brother, please tell me first."

The second prince looked entangled, as if he was fighting against the gods and said in great difficulty: "Father, it is actually the Sixth Emperor's brother who is drunk, and the Sixth Emperor's brother is also unintentional."

Emperor Jing Hong looked at the fifth prince again: "Lao Wu, what do you think?"

The fifth prince lowered his head and said, "When my son and ninth brother heard the movement, the mothers had already arrived. My son had no chance to see it seriously, just saw chaos."

Emperor Jing Hong smiled playfully, then looked back at the concubines: "Is that so? Since you have arrived and seen it, then you can say it." He pointed at Concubine Ying, "You talk first."

The ninth prince immediately looked at his biological mother worriedly, and he was worried and wrote it on his face.

Concubine Ying saluted and said, "When I returned to the emperor, I came hand in hand with Concubine Yu's sister, and I saw Wang Cairen crying alone. Her makeup was messy, her hair was dispersed, and her clothes were still disheveled. Concubine Yu's sister was worried that something was wrong, so she ordered someone to tell the emperor."

"Oh?" Emperor Jing Hong looked at Nuomin again, "Concubine Yu, what do you think?"

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and felt a little worried about Nuomin. Emperor Jing Hong was very fond of face and would definitely not want to expose such things in person, but if he didn't say it, he would be suspected of deceiving the emperor.

Nuomin saluted and said, "Emperor, I have told people to tell Li Daban when I see him. I believe that the emperor is the honor of a country, and that the emperor's dignity cannot be desecrated by anyone!"

Chu Junlan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Nuomin's answer was to avoid the important things, and he would not anger Emperor Jing Hong.

However, Emperor Jing Hong's heart was resonated with it.

"The dignity of a country cannot be desecrated? But someone dares to cause these things under my nose, which will ruin my face and make me a laughing stock for civil and military officials and the people of the world!"

A roar echoed in the hall, and everyone was so scared that they trembled all over, bowing their heads to the ground, not daring to move.

Emperor Jing Hong walked up to the sixth prince and said calmly: "Lao Liu, you said, is it because I have used you too much recently that I have made you think too much?"

"Father, my son dare not..." The sixth prince's voice trembled. No one could understand how nervous he was now, even Concubine Shu could not.

Emperor Jing Hong arranged for the investigation of Ye Zhao's Jinyiwei to have not withdrawn yet. Ye Siqi, who would reveal his life experience, has not found any trace yet. He didn't know when this man would suddenly jump out and knock everything he has now to pieces.

Now, Emperor Jing Hong's words made the sixth prince's most fragile nerve tight. If he hadn't retained a little rationality, he would have almost fainted on the spot.

Emperor Jing Hong looked down at the Sixth Prince and said in a deep voice: "Do you really think that I don't know your thoughts?"

"Father, my son is not afraid! My son is not afraid!" The sixth prince kowtowed repeatedly, no longer caring about anything else. "I am drunk and admitting the wrong person, it is not intentional!"

Emperor Jing Hong looked at the Sixth Prince and saw the look of his eyes flashing. He kicked him hard, kicking the Sixth Prince to the ground and then barely knelt down.

"Don't rest ashamed of anger! My son is unintentional mistake, so I ask my father for forgiveness!"

Emperor Jing Hong looked at Wang Shitong on the side again.

Wang Shitong walked to Emperor Jinghong with tears in her eyes, hugging one of his legs and cried in tears: "Emperor, I am wronged, I am really wronged, it was the Sixth Palace that he suddenly rushed up. Not only today, when I was in my name, the Sixth Prince often came to harass me. I was really annoyed. I wanted to serve the Emperor and be better in the future, but the Sixth Prince became even more aggressive than before, and even came to block me and questioned me why I came to serve you. Your Majesty, you want to make the decision for me!"

The sixth prince looked at Wang Shitong, and his heart was as if he was shattered for a moment, and his expression on his face was distorted for a moment. This woman really never took him to heart, and at the critical moment, she refused to sacrifice for him.

Wang Shitong made up her mind that even if she was punished by the emperor, she would be sent to the cold palace to take the opportunity to pull the sixth prince into the water to clear a barrier for the King of Qin.

Rusheng in Chu Junlan's arms finally cried when he heard the two of them shouting.

The baby's crying was particularly harsh in the hall at this time. Chu Junlan hurriedly bowed, got up and hugged the child and retreated.

When he got outside, the eunuch Li Defang hurriedly came up and said worriedly: "Oh, what's wrong with the Sixth Emperor's Grandson? What do the eldest prince's concubine want me to prepare?"

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "I'm so scared by Eunuch Li. I'm so worried. I'm so worried that Eunuch Li will find a place to rest for a while and let me coax it."

"Hey, that's natural, come here." Li De led Chu Junlan to the side hall next door.

Chu Junlan hugged Rusheng and followed Li Defang's footsteps. When he arrived at the side hall, Li Defang ordered the eunuch to bring his hand warmer.

"It's getting warm now, and the palace can't burn charcoal basins at will. I'm afraid that the little prince will be cold. If you don't dislike it, just use the servant's hand stove first."

"How can you dislike me? Thank you for being so thoughtful." Chu Junlan smiled and took the handheld warmer, holding the child in his arms.

Li Defang took the eunuch out at the right time.

Chu Junlan first fed Rusheng, and then whispered to coax him to sleep, but he was not in a hurry to see the situation in the main hall. She and Xiao Xu did everything they could. The rest were only the performances of Concubine Shu, the sixth prince and Wang Shitong. Anyway, no matter how Emperor Jing Hong dealt with them, they deserved it.

After waiting for about half an hour, when Chu Junlan held Rusheng's arm a little sore, the main hall finally had movement.

The voice of the little eunuch came from outside the hall: "The eldest prince's concubine, the eldest prince is looking for you."

Chu Junlan held Ru and ascended out of the side hall.

Xiao Xu picked up Rusheng in her arms, and the sleeping child just hummed and then lay on Xiao Xu's shoulder to continue sleeping.

Chu Junlan couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Xu grabbed his hand because of Rusheng's crooked hat.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Xiao Xu smiled gently, holding the child in one hand and holding Chu Junlan's soft and boneless hand in the other, and returned to Zhongcui Palace with her.

After handing Rusheng over to the wet nurse, Xiao Xu told Chu Junlan about Emperor Jing Hong’s treatment.

"Wang Cairen has been sent to the cold palace."

Chu Junlan nodded and said, "I can guess that there will be such a solution. The emperor has to take care of the face of the sixth prince and his own."

"Yes." Xiao Xu sighed a little, "The one who suffers from this kind of thing is the woman. If the father wants to protect his son, he knows in his heart who is blamed for the matter. He will only say that the woman is wrong. His son was bewitched by a woman. Just like when I was obviously the sixth prince, the emperor attributed all the mistakes to you."

Chu Junlan couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you mentioning these again? Don't forget that you are the eldest prince Xiao Yan now, and I am the eldest prince's concubine Chu. We are not the ones we used to be. The emperor is also very taboo to think of King Gongding, so he will definitely hope that we will cut off all our thoughts in the past. When we were both, it would be fine if we said it. In front of the emperor, you must not mention it, let alone show grievances and dissatisfaction."
