C93 (1/2)

Conference Hall.

A fierce gust of wind blew outside the hall, and countless snowflakes fell from the sky, smashing against the eaves and branches of the houses.

Zhao Yi, who was seated on the dragon throne was infuriated, causing all the officials in the palace to hold their breaths.

Xie Heng said: ”This subject has never seen Fourth Prince before, and does not know that a person who barges into my residence with a sword in broad daylight is actually the current Fourth Prince!”

”May I ask your majesty, one day, this prince will also do the same thing in the palace, should this subject stop him? Or do you want him to do something wrong? ”

Everyone became even more silent. Imperial Consort Wu opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The Old Emperor had been sick for a long time, and it was time for them to be suspicious of one another. The princes all pretended to be loyal and filial, saying such words in front of Zhao Yi, it was no different from courting death.

But when these words came out from Little Tyrant Xie's mouth, it was obvious that the crown prince and Prince Rui's faces were even more unsightly.

They were only standing quietly within the Conference Hall, and had been set on fire for no reason at all. It was not possible for them to not be involved right now.

Zhao Feng took a step forward and said, ”This son believes that there must have been some misunderstanding. The Fourth Emperor had always been a kind and good-natured person, and General Xie was also someone who could protect the country. This matter … ”It is likely that someone is among them …

”Your Highness' words are wrong!”

Zhao Zhi interrupted him with a darkened face, ”Your Highness has always been on good terms with the Fourth Emperor and he clearly knows that he has an extremely good temper. Was it a misunderstanding? You think that you are some amazing figure when someone suddenly takes control of the military? ”

Zhao Feng could not help but stiffen his face: ”Prince Rui!”

Zhao Zhi raised his chin and looked at the others: ”I, your servant, have only said a few words of fairness, why must you be like this, Crown Prince?”

The two of them looked at each other, and the only sound that could be heard from outside the hall was that of wind and snow clashing against each other.

”Lord Shuntian.”

Zhao Yi leaned on the imperial desk, rubbed his temples, and looked down at the trembling Shuntian Palace's Gao Yu, ”You were the one who handled this matter, why don't you explain it to me!”

Gao Yu promptly replied, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, at dusk today, General's Mansion … A unconscious bloodied person suddenly came to Xie Heng's residence, saying that he was pretending to be a prince, holding a sword and rushing into the mansion, so this humble subject could handle it impartially … Unexpectedly, it was the current Fourth Prince. This subject did not dare make any decisions, so he quickly sent people to identify it. ”And then … and then now.”

”Fan'er, you're a noble prince, but you've been humiliated and wronged like this!”

After the Imperial Consort Wu heard this, she cried even more miserably. She glared at Xie Heng and said, ”You are merely a third ranked official, what can a prince like you do that will make you come knocking? Even if there is, it must be Fan'er who noticed your disobedience! ”

When the weeping woman saw this, she paused for a moment before affirming, ”Yes! It had to be true! Your Majesty … Fan'er is your son, and you know best what sort of person he is. It must be because Xie Heng had done something that Fan'er was aware of, which was why they attacked Fan'er and killed him! ”

Although there was not the slightest bit of evidence, Imperial Consort Wu was absolutely sure.

”Xie Heng, what do you have to say for yourself?”

Zhao Yi's face turned dark, his muddy eyes stared straight at Xie Heng, he did not know what to say.

”This subject doesn't know where to start from.” Xie Heng got up in anger, ”My brother only taught a lesson to a delinquent, how can it involve a disobedient heart, could it be that the people from my Xie Family are all killed by others, so that they can come to the Conference Hall and cry?”

He wasn't used to hiding his temper.

He wanted to say something, but it made Zhao Yi speechless instead.

Xie Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke with an expressionless face: ”If you insist on doing this, there's no harm in killing me first and then crying about injustice.”

”What nonsense are you spouting!”
