Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1182

Yes, the crime was not punishable by death. Emperor Mingde knew very well that he could not use his actions in his previous life as a reason to kill him.

As Xiao Sheng's father, he was willing to give him a chance to live. But isn't someone else's life also a life?

Emperor Mingde frowned and said, "Today, I will let you die knowing full well." He ordered Eunuch Qi to summon the three Gao brothers to the palace to meet him late at night.

At first, Xiao Sheng didn't realize what relationship he had with the three Gao brothers. When he saw them entering the imperial study, he was shocked.

This, this, this, aren’t these three the ones he killed?

"Your subject Gao Jiadong pays homage to the Emperor!"

"Your subject Gao Jiayu pays homage to the Emperor!"

"Your subject Gao Jiarui pays homage to the Emperor!"

Emperor Mingde looked at the sons of Minister of Works Gao Pinyuan, and found that they all had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and were full of energy and spirit.

Then look at your own son, his eyes are covered with tears and snot, he is kneeling in an awkward position, his back is hunched and his face is droopy.

It's true that comparing yourself to others will only make you angry!

Emperor Mingde could only think about the appearance of Crown Prince Xiao Zhi in his heart, and then he calmed down a little, "Xiao Sheng, do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Sheng pointed at these people in a daze, "He, they...are not dead?"

In fact, no matter how stupid he was, he understood it now.

The people around him were his father's men. If they were not his father's men, they were the princess's husband's men.

The eight secret guards around the Empress Dowager are all their people, so it’s not surprising to have a few more around him.

So these three people accidentally discovered that Prince Jin had sneaked back to the capital from his fiefdom and were caught by Prince Jin's men.

The King of Jin ordered the three men to be killed to avoid any future trouble.

As a result, these three people were secretly arranged into Hong Yang's team. When attacking the imperial city, they unexpectedly killed Hong Yang and made great contributions.

The three of them showed up in a hurry and went back home, but Prince Jin knew that his father knew even such a small matter, so the bad things he had done in the past would not escape his father's eyes.

Xiao Sheng cried again, kneeling on the ground, "Father, you are wise, luckily these people are not dead! If they are not dead, it doesn't count as murder, right? Wuuwuwu... Thank you for your grace, father. I will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future!"

Looking at his son's dazed and incoherent appearance, Emperor Mingde closed his eyes deeply.

When he opened his eyes again, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Youen, call the imperial physician."

In a flash, the imperial physician came and bandaged Xiao Sheng's wound.

Xiao Sheng carefully glanced at Emperor Mingde, and when he found that he was also looking at him, he quickly looked away.

But what I was thinking in my heart was, since I let the imperial physician treat my injuries, I guess this means I want to spare his life, right?

Then Emperor Mingde ordered, "Youen, take him to change his clothes first, so that he can dress decently."

Eunuch Qi agreed and took Xiao Sheng away.

Xiao Sheng exhaled and asked quietly, "Eunuch Qi, has the emperor spared me?"

Eunuch Qi didn't have the heart to answer and just responded casually.

Finally, Xiao Sheng dressed neatly and appeared in the imperial study again, and saw that Emperor Mingde's eyes were red...
