Chapter 243 Wu'er, are you planning to disobey the order?

"Yes." The eunuch quickly responded, then pushed open the palace door and led Xiao Jiwu into the hall: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please come in."

Hearing the sound, Xiao Jiwu stepped over the threshold and strode into Chongqing Hall.

On the throne, Xiao Lingan was in surprisingly good spirits at the moment. This was the first time since he fell ill.

Seeing Xiao Jiwu entering the hall, he spoke with a loving look before the other party even approached him. He didn't even care that Xiao Jiwu didn't have time to put on his eye veil: "Wu'er is here?"

Xiao Jiwu, however, acted as if he hadn't heard the emperor's question. He walked straight to the throne where the emperor sat, stood firmly, and then spoke in a cold voice: "Where's Ying Shiyi?"

The moment Xiao Jiwu finished speaking, Xiao Ling'an's expression on the throne suddenly darkened, and he said in a stern voice: "How dare you! How dare you question your father like that! Ahem, ahem..."

He then said viciously: "Kneel down before me!"

Behind the screen, Yun Qingshi's eyes instantly turned red when he heard Xiao Jiwu's question.

All the forced calmness completely collapsed at this moment, and what followed was overwhelming grievance and fear.

He had never experienced this before, so how could he not be afraid?

Before he traveled through the book, his family had never let him get hurt.

After entering the book, Xiao Jiwu has always protected him and he has never been bullied.

At this moment, Yun Qingshi tried desperately to make some noise to let Xiao Jiwu know he was there, but despite all his might, he couldn't move his body even a little bit, and his throat couldn't make a sound. Only tears slid down his eyes, falling onto his robe, and quickly soaking into the black fabric. His hands hung limply at his sides, only the tip of his little finger trembling slightly...

Outside the screen, Xiao Jiwu looked at Xiao Lingan coldly after hearing the voice, and had no intention of kneeling down.

No matter how Xiao Lingan tortured and humiliated him in the past, Xiao Jiwu never held a grudge.

But when Xiao Lingan actually extended his hand to Yun Qingshi, how could he not hate him!

So what if he is his father? If he dares to hurt Yun Qingshi, he will be killed anyway!

He can lose everything except Yun Qingshi.

Even Xiao Ling'an, who had been on the throne for more than twenty years, couldn't help but feel a little scared when he met Xiao Jiwu's eyes at this moment.

But the majesty of the superior after so many years still existed. He did not show any abnormality. Instead, he slammed the table heavily and said, "If you don't kneel, ahem, I will make Ying Eleven kneel!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu suddenly clenched his fists, then slowly knelt on the ground, and then said in a deep voice: "I beg you, father, to return Shadow Eleven to me."

Behind the screen, Yun Qingshi's eyes suddenly became redder when he heard this, and he hated the emperor just as much.

As for Xiao Lingan, seeing that Xiao Jiwu was once again under his control, a hint of pride suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Jiwu, never think of escaping from his control.

These days, he always felt that he could no longer control his son. In addition, his health was not improving, which made him even more irritable.

Now this is what makes him feel at ease.

He just wanted to let Xiao Jiwu know that all his honor came from his grace, and he must obey him and never think of resisting!

Xiao Ling'an admired Xiao Jiwu's awkward kneeling form with a condescending attitude for a while, then drank the ginseng soup brought by the palace maid before he spoke again: "Ahem, someone told me that you kept concubines and disregarded the imperial majesty to commit obscene acts. I didn't believe it at first, but I never thought it would be true. Ahem... You really disappoint me."

"Wu'er, as the current prince and a role model for the people, how could you do such a shameful thing? If this gets out, the people will definitely talk about it. Do you know how bad the impact of this will be?"

Xiao Jiwu remained silent, only his clenched hands hanging at his sides betrayed his emotions.

Xiao Ling'an continued with a look of concern for the greater good. "Fortunately, few people know about this, so there's still time to remedy the situation. Ahem, if you can just give him this poisoned wine, I'll let this matter go. Don't blame me for being cruel. This is the only way to prevent such a scandal from spreading."

He spoke in a high-sounding manner, but it could not cover up the ugliness in his heart.

After saying that, Xiao Lingan then signaled the maid beside him to bring the wine jug and wine cup filled with poisoned wine to Xiao Jiwu: "Give it to him."

Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu closed his eyes silently, and had already made a plan in his mind.

He said, "My son, I obey your order."

The next moment, he slowly stood up and took the wooden tray from the palace maid.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingan became even more proud, and raised his finger to signal several eunuchs to move away the screen blocking Yun Qingshi.

He was extremely confident and believed that he had complete control over the entire situation.

Soon, the screen was moved away by two eunuchs, and Yun Qingshi was finally able to see Xiao Jiwu. His eyes were red, and there was indescribable emotion in his eyes, but he couldn't speak at all.

He was not stupid, so of course he knew that Xiao Jiwu was not really going to give him poisoned wine. Xiao Jiwu just wanted to confirm his safety first.

Xiao Jiwu also saw Yun Qingshi at this moment. Seeing that the young man was not injured and was sitting there safely, the worry that had been hanging in his heart for nearly half a day finally settled down.

On the throne, seeing the two of them looking at each other from afar, Xiao Ling'an immediately urged again: "Wu'er, the overall situation is more important. Don't be soft-hearted. She's just a spoiled child, just for fun. Ahem, you're not really taking it to heart, are you?"

Xiao Jiwu's eyes became even colder when he heard the voice. He didn't even look at Xiao Lingan again, but walked slowly towards the direction where Yun Qingshi was.

At the same time, he gave Liu Kang a look without any expression.

Judging from the time, Yingyi and the others should be about to take action.

When Liu Kanghe met Xiao Jiwu's gaze, he understood what he meant and secretly waved his hand to signal a eunuch at the door.

When the eunuch got the message, he quickly ran to a dark place and blew a copper whistle.

Back to Chongqing Hall, as they gradually approached, Xiao Jiwu also noticed something was wrong. His brows instantly furrowed, and he immediately quickened his pace and walked in front of Yun Qingshi, asking anxiously: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"

There must be something wrong, otherwise the boy wouldn't just sit quietly on the stool and not even talk to him.

Xiao Jiwu's eyes instantly turned red with anxiety. The wooden tray fell to the ground. He anxiously grabbed the boy's hand and asked again, his voice trembling: "Qingqing, talk to me, don't scare me, what did he do to you?"

Seeing Xiao Jiwu's anxious expression, Yun Qingshi also felt anxious.

The little guy in his heart was about to jump up in anxiety, but his body seemed to be imprisoned and unable to move at all.

He really wanted to tell Xiao Jiwu that he was fine, but he could only stare anxiously with his eyes wide open.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling'an, who was not far away, immediately realized something was wrong and stood up with the help of a palace maid. He asked sternly, "Wu'er, are you planning to disobey the order?"
