Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

Chapter 686: The Nine-Tailed Fox's Dirty Trick

Emperor Xin's angry voice exploded like thunder in this magnificent hall, instantly breaking the previous harmony.

Even Bo Yikao came to his senses, looked at Emperor Xin in horror and quickly knelt down. He was about to explain, but his eyes flashed red again.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of teasing Your Majesty... I was just admiring such a beautiful woman, why would she enter the palace as a concubine?..."

Emperor Xin was furious at this moment. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Bo Yikao and shouted, "How dare you! What do you mean, what virtue or ability do I have to be worthy of such a beauty?"

"Or are you coveting my harem and have evil intentions?!"

"Is this what Xibo Hou taught you?"

Then, Emperor Xin's face darkened, and he shouted again, "Someone, come! Capture him! Throw him into jail!"

All of a sudden, five or six guards rushed in from outside the palace and surrounded Bo Yikao.

Seeing this, Bigan stood up quickly, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Bo Yikao came here this time and brought three treasures as gifts. Although his words were a little offensive, perhaps he did not mean to be disrespectful."

Li Jing was on good terms with Xibohou, and he immediately stood up and agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, Bo Yikao is young, and if he has offended Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Haha, Bigan, Li Jing, Bo Yikao are disrespectful to the king and speak frivolously. How can you expect the king to forgive you? If Bo Yikao had flirted with your wives today, what would you do?"

Just when Bigan and Li Jing were pleading for Bo Yikao, the famous, sarcastic and defiant Fei Zhong appeared on the scene.

He walked slowly with a mocking sneer on his face. His words were like sharp arrows that pierced their hearts and left Bigan and the other two speechless.

Seeing this, Emperor Xin was so happy that he thought calling him here was the right decision...

Afterwards, Fei Zhong turned to look at Bo Yikao. His eyes were as sharp as if he was looking at a dead person, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"Bo Yikao, you are so bold and reckless that you coveted the beauty of the queen and spoke rudely to the king. Do you plead guilty?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Bo Yikao, for some unknown reason, held his head high and said, "Everyone loves beauty. What crime have I committed?"

Bo Yikao's words undoubtedly announced the end of his life.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into deathly silence. Everyone stared at Bo Yikao in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

Bigan, Li Jing and others all looked very surprised. They had never expected that Bo Yikao, who was usually gentle and well-educated, would be so bold today.

Things have gotten so out of control, and yet he is still talking without restraint. Is he really courting death with no limits? ...

Emperor Xin was so angry that he laughed instead, his whole body emitting a strong murderous intent, and whispered: "What a young boy! What are you still standing there for! Suppress him!"

The guards obeyed the order and suppressed Bo Yikao without caring whether any ministers would speak. Even the guards could hear that no matter what, Bo Yikao had to go to jail today.

They all understood this truth. No one would allow others to tease his woman, let alone the fact that Bo Yikao was teasing their king's woman.

When Bigan and the others saw Bo Yikao being suppressed, they looked at each other and were very sensible and did not beg for mercy.

They understood that Emperor Xin was furious, and Fei Zhong was fanning the flames, so speaking up at this time would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

Bo Yikao did not struggle and let them pull him away, with a hint of arrogance and greed in his eyes. But after he was escorted out of the hall, Bo Yikao secretly regretted it.

He didn't know why, at that moment, he seemed to be possessed by a ghost. How could he flirt with Emperor Xin's woman? Although the nine-tailed fox was indeed beautiful, it was not necessary to do this.

Bo Yikao knew that he might have been plotted against since he entered the palace, but now that things had come to this point, there was no point in saying more.

After this incident, the atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point. The singing and dancing came to an abrupt end. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The nine-tailed fox sat beside Emperor Xin, with an imperceptible arc on the corner of his mouth, and was secretly proud in his heart, "No matter how calm you are, it is difficult for you to resist my charm, let alone you, a mere Bo Yikao?"

After Bo Yikao left, Emperor Xin sneered, and then a smile appeared on his face again, "Continue playing music, continue dancing..."

The tone was so relaxed as if nothing had happened just now.

Seeing that Emperor Xin did not seem to be too angry, Bigan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, kept silent, and began to eat and drink while pretending to be calm.

But Emperor Xin and the three nine-tailed fox demons did enjoy the meal very much.

Silent all night.

When the court went up the next day, the Chaoge Palace became bustling with activity.

"Your Majesty! I hope that you will take into consideration that Bo Yikao is a first-time offender and that Xibohou has made great contributions. I implore Your Majesty to be lenient with Bo Yikao!" The good-natured Bigan pleaded with Emperor Xin in the court.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! Your Majesty is the ruler of the Shang Dynasty. Bo Yikao dared to flirt with the queen in front of Your Majesty and all the ministers. He must not be forgiven!"

You Hun was not to be outdone. He stepped sideways out of the crowd and started to retort to Bigan at the top of his voice.

As he spoke, he sighed inwardly, "Why wasn't I there for that scene last night? What a pity, what a pity..." His tone was full of regret for missing out on a good show.

Bo Yikao, the eldest son of King Xibo, molested Emperor Xin's women in the palace, and the news spread throughout Chaoge overnight.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this matter was not much worse than what Emperor Xin did in the Nuwa Temple. It became the focus of heated discussion on the streets for a while, and the popularity kept rising, directly overshadowing Emperor Xin's affairs.

So, as soon as he went to court today, Bigan began to plead for Bo Yikao. He was afraid that if the matter was delayed any longer, Bo Yikao's situation would become more dangerous, and he was afraid that the child would really be beyond saving.

Bigan frowned, looked at You Hun and whispered: "You Hun, I know Bo Yikao is guilty, but considering that it is his first offense, why not give him a lighter sentence!"

At this time, Fei Zhong also stood up and looked at Bigan with a sarcastic tone, saying, "Humph! Bo Yikao is the eldest son of the Marquis of Xibo and an official of the Shang Dynasty. He openly contradicted the king and spoke rudely. He will be severely punished!"

"Otherwise, once this precedent is set, where will the king's majesty be?"

Soon, the court was like a market, with endless arguments and everyone expressing their opinions.

Because there were people who pleaded for Bo Yikao, there were people who wanted to put Bo Yikao to death, and there were also people who remained neutral and just watched the fun.

Emperor Xin sat on the throne, looking at Fei Zhong and You Hun who were debating with the scholars below, and for the first time he felt that they were so "cute"...

He doesn't have to waste any words to make this matter a big deal.

After the ministers had been chattering for several minutes, Emperor Xin finally spoke, "Shut up!"

"This is the court of the Great Shang Dynasty. How can you quarrel over a child like this? How disgraceful!"

Emperor Xin's angry shout immediately turned the originally noisy atmosphere in the court into an extremely quiet one. The ministers all lowered their heads and dared not say anything more.

Emperor Xin looked at everyone slowly with a stern gaze. After a moment, he spoke again, "I have already made a decision on Bo Yikao's matter. There is no need for you to make a fuss here."

"Pass the order. Bo Yikao's original crime is unforgivable, but considering that he is the eldest son of Marquis Xibo and this is his first offense, I will give Marquis Xibo some face."

"Of course, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life imprisonment is unavoidable. I will punish Bo Yikao with thirty strokes of the cane and imprisonment for three months! If you do it again, you will be executed without mercy!"

After hearing this fairly standard punishment, Bigan and the others were overjoyed, "Your Majesty is wise!..."

Emperor Xin smiled and nodded, sneering in his heart, "Am I wise? Why didn't I realize it? Do you really think Bo Yikao can walk out of the prison alive?"
