"Royal grandaunt, Zhaoyang aunt, royal sister-in-law, what are you doing? You should get up quickly. Royal brother is wise and will definitely give justice to the Xu family. "Stepping forward, Mo Jingli respectfully advised.
But it would have been better if he didn't advise. His advice reminded Mo Jingqi that not only were the scholars and officials in Jing, even his grandaunt, aunt, and empress were against him. Thinking of this, blood rushed to his head. Mo Jingqi roared: "Xu shi is guilty of treason and should be executed! Pass down zhen's decree, Xu shi's entire family will be executed! "Hearing this, there was an uproar in front of the palace gates. Standing on the side, Mo Jingli's lips secretly hooked into a cold smile. The people kneeling wanted to say more, but Mo Jingqi was already fuming with anger. He rushed to say: "Whoever dares to ask for mercy will be punished the same as Xu shi!"
Everyone was stunned. Suddenly, an old man in the crowd stood up and loudly said: "Emperor, Xu shi is innocent. Emperor, please investigate!"
Mo Jingqi's eyes slightly narrowed and shot out a cold light. He naturally recognized this old man. He was the former Imperial Censor who had already retired. In the past, Mo Jingqi hated this old man who always told him that he shouldn't do this or that. So before Mo Jingqi ascended the throne, he was the Imperial Censor. Until he retired three years ago, he had never been promoted. "You really are daring. Do you treat zhen's decree as wind passing through your ears?" The old man said with tears in his eyes: "This old official doesn't dare. This old official is willing to use his old life to ask the emperor to take back his decree!" After saying this, he slammed his head into the palace wall without a care. The palace walls were made of the best marble. When the old man slammed his head into the wall, the white marble was instantly dyed red with blood. The old man collapsed at the bottom of the palace wall. It was clear that he was no longer breathing. This old official who had already retired was using his death to ask the emperor to take back his decree.
"Your Majesty, chenqie asks Your Majesty to take back the order." The Empress stood up and looked deeply at the man in front of her who was in a rage. Ever since he ascended the throne, he had been very wary of the meritorious deeds of the old officials of the previous dynasty. Naturally, he was also very wary and wary of the Empress who came from a meritorious family. No matter what she said, he always doubted her intentions, and never listened to half a word of her advice. In the beginning, she only remembered her father's and the previous emperor's instructions and wanted to be a virtuous and virtuous empress who could persuade the emperor. Gradually, her heart turned cold. However, no matter how cold-hearted he was, he still had to persuade her today. If the Emperor really did confiscate the Xu family, he was afraid that the Da Chu State would really fall into chaos.
Mo Jingqi was stunned for a moment before an idea flashed through his mind. He shouted, "Stop the Empress!" Everyone was stunned, but they saw that the Empress did not move at all. She just stood there and looked at the Emperor helplessly. The Empress sighed faintly in her heart. Did the Emperor think that she was also going to die to persuade him? As the Empress, she was also the Emperor's wife. How could she let the Emperor bear the crime of forcing his wife and the Empress to death? Mo Jingqi stared at the Empress in a daze, and his face turned pale. On the other side, Great Elder Princess was not so polite. She said coldly, "Since Your Majesty said so, please lock me up as well. I am willing to share the same crime as Xu!"
With Great Elder Princess taking the lead, the people behind also shouted, "We are willing to share the same crime as Xu!"
In an attic not far from the palace gate, the half-closed window could see the scene at the palace gate in the distance, but the people outside could not see the people inside. The noise outside the palace gate naturally spread into the attic. By the window, Leng Haoyu held a wine cup and leaned against the window lazily to drink. The man sitting opposite him was dressed in white, handsome and elegant. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and only bloomed with a pure lotus like elegance, like an immortal. Who else could it be but Xu Qingchen? When Xu Qingchen knew that Ye Li had returned safely and was pregnant, he knew that there would be an accident in the future, and the Xu family could not easily get out of it. Therefore, he rushed to Yunzhou as soon as possible after dealing with the affairs in the south. After returning to Yunzhou, he had a deep talk with his grandfather and father, and then rushed to the capital. He happened to see such a good show.
Leng Haoyu looked at Young Master Qingchen, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes. In Leng Haoyu's opinion, among the five Young Masters of the Xu family, only Young Master Qingchen was the most similar to the Princess. Usually, he was amiable and gentle to others, but when it was time to fight, he was fierce and never soft-hearted.
"In such a situation, what do you think Mo Jingqi will do?" Leng Haoyu was a martial artist, and his eyesight was naturally better than ordinary people. He clearly saw Mo Jingqi's expression and face outside the palace gate. Xu Qingchen on the opposite side only held a cup of tea, looked leisurely and calm, and said with a faint smile, "Mo Jingqi is cruel and merciless, but he lacks courage. No matter who set up the trap today, he can't solve it. If he killed a few people in the beginning, the people behind him would naturally stop. If he didn't hesitate to kill Mo Jingli, how could Prince Li have the power today? Ten years ago, if he didn't hesitate to kill Prince Ding, how could there be today's situation? With such a temperament, even in peaceful times, he can't be called a Monarch, let alone now that chaos is coming. He can only be played in the hands of others. "
Leng Haoyu's heart was slightly cold, and he looked at the handsome man in front of him in awe. Young Master Qingchen's talent was well-known in the world, and he was famous for being extraordinary, but he didn't expect to say such sarcastic and sharp words. Nodding in agreement with Xu Qingchen's point of view, Leng Haoyu turned his gaze to the city gate again. His eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "The good show is coming!"
The palace gate was in a deadlock when a clear and steady voice came from not far away, "This subject, Xu Hongyan, greets the Emperor."
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Xu Hongyan wasn't wearing his official robe, but a white cloth robe as he strode over. Two steps behind him was Xu Qingbai, who was also dressed in cloth robes. Seeing him, many people called out, "Lord Xu is here." Although Xu Hongyan's reputation wasn't as good as his father and brother's, he was still a famous talent in Da Chu State. It was just that he was trapped in the capital when he was young, and he was an imperial censor without any real power. Naturally, he wasn't as good as his father and brother who taught students in Yunzhou. Xu Hongyan walked to the palace gate and bowed respectfully to Mo Jingqi and the others, saying, "This subject, Xu Hongyan, greets the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager." Xu Qingbai followed behind and bowed.
The Sunshine Eldest Princess frowned and said, "Lord Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Hongyan smiled faintly and said, "Reporting to the Princess, because of the Xu family's matter, how could this subject not know about it? I've troubled the Princess and everyone to plead leniency for the Xu family, Hongyan has written here. Also … Elder Li … "Looking at the old man's corpse at the foot of the palace wall, Xu Hongyan let out a long sigh, the corners of his eyes red. He bowed deeply to the old man's corpse and said, "The Xu family has received Elder Li's great kindness, and there's nothing we can do to repay it."
After doing this, Xu Hongyan turned to the people kneeling behind him and said, "Many thanks to everyone for pleading on behalf of the Xu family, but … this is the Xu family's family matter, and we shouldn't implicate everyone because of the Xu family's mistake. Please return. Xu Hongyan is here, respectfully awaiting Your Majesty's decree. "Xu Qingbai, who was kneeling beside him, also said," The Xu family's fourth son, Xu Qingbai, is here. "
