Chapter 176 The Royal Family’s Face Is Too Big(1/2)
Royal Palace.
Wu Xuchen reported the progress of the case. Emperor Hui was furious and the officials were frightened.
Emperor Hui supported the desk with one hand, showing his majesty.
"So, the result you gave me is that the little Japanese thief is just a coward?"
Wu Xuchen took a step forward despite the pressure and said respectfully.
"This is what I found out, and it is indeed true. The tunnel under the inn only leads to Fanshan Temple. However, the capture of one of them is a monk from Fanshan Temple, and the two of them conspired to do it."
The ministers who had previously investigated the case seemed to have a clearer mind.
This matter involves a wide range of things, including Queen Chi and the Prince. Even if they feel there is something fishy involved, they are afraid of offending the Chi family.
Since Wu Xuchen took the lead, they naturally could not lag behind, even if they had never even seen the prisoner.
Anyway, something happened, so Wu Xuchen was the one to excuse it.
Like human beings, all of them came forward and cupped their hands.
"What Mr. Wu said is indeed true."
"good."
Chi Zhang feels at ease.
He was troubled by this incident and couldn't sleep well all night.
It was also his negligence. He didn't even know that that thing dared to covet women under his nose and suffered this disaster!
If he didn't have a backup plan and the matter was exposed, it would be troublesome.
He glanced at Wu Xuchen calmly.
satisfy.
It is a pity that the Wu family's wife fell ill and passed away suddenly, otherwise the marriage between the two families would have been put forward.
He took a step forward.
There was anger on his face.
"The Japanese people are really worth killing!"
"I don't know if this is a selfish act or if Japan was defeated by China and did such a shameful thing to take revenge."
"The queen and the prince of the Celestial Dynasty have high status, how can he care about them?"
Are you thinking about the queen and the prince?
Emperor Hui looked at Wu Xuchen coldly and then at Chi Zhang.
It was obvious to him that the Japanese were concerned about his country.
Is Japan warning him?
Emperor Hui was furious, but he didn't want to listen to him anymore.
Stand up now.
Eunuch Zhao shouted: "Retreat from the court."
Emperor Hui strode towards the imperial study. He couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes.
All the civil and military officials were left looking at each other.
In the Imperial Study Room,
Eunuch Zhao took his breath lightly and served him respectfully.
Emperor Hui suppressed his emotions: "Where is the prince?"
"The prince's injury has not healed yet and he is recovering in the East Palace."
Emperor Hui's face turned even more ugly.
Recuperate?
Ridiculous!
"I agree that he will not go to court in the morning? Who gave him the courage!"
Eunuch Zhao was so frightened that he knelt down.
Emperor Hui glanced over and showed his dignity without anger.
"Don't try to mess with me! What else can you do besides kneeling!"
"I think he relies on his uncle's lawlessness."
Why are there so many differences between people?
Gu Huaizhi was injured by him and almost died.
However, Zhou Huan was injured while repelling the bandits and almost did something bad. It was embarrassing and made people laugh!
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that such a person was really not as good as a finger from Gu Huaizhi!
But this is his only son.
Emperor Hui's breathing was rapid, and the shortness of breath hit his heart.
Eunuch Zhao quickly went to the drawer to get the jade bottle containing pills.
Serve Emperor Hui and swallow it.
When Emperor Hui sat on the dragon chair, his chest felt extremely tight. His complexion was not rosy like ordinary people, but had a slightly abnormal cyan color.
My body had been seriously injured for a long time, and in just a few days, my spirit had become much weaker.
He squinted his eyes, and then pierced Eunuch Zhao with his sharp eyes: "You were there during the morning court. What do you think about Fanshan Temple?"
He smiled, his smile not touching his eyes.
"Master Wu has been on leave for many days, and I heard he also fell ill?"
Eunuch Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Yes, I think I can't accept the fact that my wife is dead."
Emperor Hui didn't ask any more questions and just narrowed his eyes.
"You said that the Wu Chi family wants to marry their children, is there Chi Zhang involved in this matter...?"
Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Zhao was frightened and knelt down with a loud thud.
"The duty of this old slave is to serve the Emperor. If the Emperor feels comfortable, this old slave will feel at ease. I can't discuss or speculate on matters in the court."
"The old slave was ordered to go to supervise the minister to handle the case, but even if I borrowed ten courages from the old slave, I didn't dare to get involved. Not to mention that the Gu family's eldest son looked at the little boy and his eyes were not his eyes, and his nose was not his nose, so he let the old slave do it without saying a word.
roll."
As he spoke, he kowtowed and spoke with urgency: "Your Majesty, you cannot scare the young ones like this."
His reaction made Emperor Hui less interested.
Also, Gu Huaizhi was very lazy, and every time he was asked to handle a case, he was rejected over and over again.
Can Eunuch Zhao still be able to persuade him? Let's help handle the case together?
Eunuch Zhao knelt down and did not move.
Emperor Hui suppressed his anger.
It is true that this matter can only be like this.
A few days later, envoys from the foreign country arrived.
The royal family's face is beyond the sky.
This matter can only be suppressed.
But how many emperors in the past were as aggrieved as he was?
"Still not getting up?"
"You have been with me for so many years. When did I treat you so badly that you were so cowardly?"
Eunuch Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly poured tea for Emperor Hui.
Then, he said again.
"Now those two prisoners are still in the hands of Prince Gu. This is really against the rules."
Emperor Hui sneered.
What rules.
"Gu Huaizhi dared to sneer at me in front of me."
That man injured his fiancée. According to his temperament, it would be uncharacteristic of him to hand her over to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple.
"Your Majesty allowed him to be so presumptuous." Eunuch Zhao said warmly.
