Chapter 147: Too Cruel
Xiao Bo looked at Furun, his eyes full of pleading.
Furun shook his head.
"Uncle Xiao, why are you being so clever? Can't you just pass on the message properly?"
"Royal sister, that's the Chen family. My brother is also bewildered. That's why he thinks that my cousin will harm the Chen family."
Furun motioned him to stop talking.
"Sister, do you really want me to go to Shanxi? I'm a prince, and I'm not allowed to leave the capital without a summons, right?"
"Yes, this princess will give you an order to leave the capital."
Shaw: ...
A sneeze
Wen Xingchen snorted sadly, but it didn't work. Her nose was red, and her beautiful eyes were also red, like a rabbit. She looked like a rabbit, and she wanted to accuse her of cruelty, but she was forced to stop herself.
"Come on, cousin, calm down and take good care of yourself. If you don't want to see your brother, he will disappear immediately. Not to mention Shanxi, he can even go to Ningguta."
Wen Xingchen waved at him, looking as if it was natural for a superior to send off his subject.
Uncle Xiao went to see the imperial sister Furun, and she looked normal.
What happened to this world?
Is it because I am too narrow-minded?
Shanxi? Qiao Renliang, when did he offend Wen Xingchen?
It should be that he offended Chen Jingting instead of Wen Xingchen.
Uncle Xiao came out with a dejected look on his face. When he saw Chen Jingting, he sighed.
"Come on, I am in a difficult position now."
Chen Jingting was standing outside and because he did not avoid it, he also heard the conversation inside.
Qiao Renliang, Governor of Shanxi.
He didn't have much contact with this person, but Xiao Qi once said that Shanxi had falsely reported disasters several times in order to get the court to allocate funds for disaster relief.
But how did Wen Xingchen know this?
Wen Xingchen punished Xiao Bo on the surface, but actually wanted him to investigate?
Did Xiao Qi tell her?
"Brother Chen, can you understand my preference for your Chen family?"
Chen Jingting: ...
Seeing that he didn't appreciate it, Xiao Bo thought he had to use a surprise tactic.
"Cousin-in-law, please say something."
Cousin-in-law?
When Chen Jingting heard this name for the first time, he trembled all over.
It’s not that I don’t like it, but I feel a little strange.
"What did you call me?"
"My cousin-in-law."
Chen Jingting nodded.
"There may be collusion between superiors and subordinates in Shanxi, corruption and bribery, to defraud disaster relief funds."
After hearing this, Xiao Bo understood.
"You knew about this, why didn't you report it?"
"I am a humble person and my words carry no weight. I dare not offend the Governor."
Xiao Bo: I want to curse.
"I wish Your Highness King Wu a safe journey."
“…” He shouldn’t have meddled in other people’s business. He regretted it.
After a while, Furun came out and told Chen Jingting, "Chen Silang, you should go back too."
"I want to stay and accompany Princess Huayang."
"Chen Silang, this is the Imperial Palace, not the Chen Residence. Go back. This is also what Princess Huayang meant."
Chen Jingting lowered his head.
Furun said: "She feels sorry for you, do you understand?"
"..."
In the end, Chen Jingting passed away.
Furun returned to the side hall.
Wen Xingchen secretly looked outside and asked, "Have they left?"
"gone."
Wen Xingchen, who was originally wrapped in a quilt, opened it and yelled, "I'm dying of heat."
Wen Xingchen didn't look too weak to take care of himself, he just had a slight cold.
"What do you want?"
"Didn't you see it just now? Chen Jingting looked so guilty and remorseful. Let's see if he dares to distrust this princess again in the future."
"How dare you jump in such cold weather? How can you be sure you'll be okay?"
"Am I okay?"
"You hurt yourself for a man. Are you stupid? I thought you had improved, but you're even more stupid than before."
Wen Xingchen shook his head.
"Chen Jingting is not Xiao Sheng."
"Humph, if he were, he would have died by now. And if he is not, he doesn't have the good fortune that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has."
Wen Xingchen nodded.
"I know."
Fu Run added, "Uncle Xiao's handling of this matter was indeed dishonest, but he was afraid that you would take action against the Chen family. After all, the Chen family cannot fail."
Wen Xingchen nodded again.
"I know."
"Then why did you let him go to Shanxi? It's not good during the Chinese New Year."
"It's a good thing to experience the people's sentiments appropriately, and since we celebrate it every year, it doesn't matter this time."
Furun saw that she was determined and knew that she could not change her mind.
"The Empress Xi has admitted that she was responsible for this incident, but she has cleared Xiao Sheng of the responsibility."
Wen Xingchen asked, "Can you pick it clean?"
"She took all the blame just to protect her son."
"Humph, if this princess is referring to Xiao Sheng, does she think her taking the blame will be useful?"
"What do you want?"
"Unless Xi Fei hangs herself, she won't be able to protect Xiao Sheng."
Suicide out of fear of crime?
Is it so cruel?
However, in this case, whether Xiao Sheng will be cleared of suspicion is still up to Wen Xingchen.
Soon the emperor sent away the Western Xia envoys. When he heard what happened in the harem, he was very angry.
Then he came to visit Wen Xingchen.
But Wen Xingchen had already fallen asleep after taking the medicine.
The emperor walked to the main hall and summoned all relevant personnel.
Furun next to him replied first.
Fu Run told the whole story, including how Xiao Sheng almost succeeded in trapping Wen Xingchen.
And Xiao Sheng was also at the scene at this moment.
"Father, I don't know."
The Empress said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi's sister has already explained this matter. She was the mastermind behind this, trying to make Prince Jin and Wen Xingchen a fait accompli."
The emperor didn't expect that Concubine Xi would be so bold that she would dare to do such a dirty thing on the queen's birthday, and even ignore the imperial edict and the imperial power.
The Xi family is really great.
"It's a done deal? Xiao Sheng, you're really great."
"Father, I really don't know."
"Don't know? Do you think I'm a fool? If Xingchen hadn't jumped into the river to save himself, he would have fallen into your trap by now."
Outside the main hall, the late-arriving Concubine Xi was listening to the emperor's interrogation.
The heart is not good.
The emperor didn't believe it.
At this time, someone walked up to Empress Xifei.
"Your servant Ruo'er pays homage to the Empress Xifei."
Concubine Xi knew her; she was a maidservant beside Furun.
"What's the matter?"
"The Princess Protector of the Nation has sent this message to me. If you truly wish to clear the suspicion against His Highness the Prince of Jin, you must hang yourself. Otherwise, Princess Huayang will not let you go."
"You are so persistent in wanting Prince Jin to marry Princess Huayang. I believe you are aware of Princess Huayang's abilities."
Concubine Xi held her breath in her heart and said angrily: "Who do you think you are? How dare you give me instructions?"
As he said that, he slapped Ruoer.
Ruoer covered her face, said nothing more, arched her body and went in.
Ruoer walked to Furun and shook her head at him.
Fu Run frowned and said, "Father, Xiao Sheng is a prince, but he has done something so destructive to social order. This is truly a heinous crime. Please strip him of his title of Prince of Jin and demote him to a commoner."
The Queen said, "Furun, this punishment is too severe."
Xiao Sheng: "I haven't done that."
