Chapter 410: I can only give you 8.5 points
After laughing, her eyes fell on the two subordinates kneeling there.
She leaned over and whispered something in Xiao Yanli's ear. Xiao Yanli's eyes were thoughtful, and his eyes also fell on the two subordinates.
Then, he waved his hand: "For the sake of you having been with me for many years, I will leave a whole body."
After that, he picked up Song Shiwei and left, leaving only the person behind him begging for mercy.
...
The next day, when Xiao Lingyu brought the petition paper and led Xiao Chuji and Xiao Yanli to meet the emperor, Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting were also there.
The emperor was still lying on the bed, and with a light cough, he asked Fuping to take the petition paper over.
Before he even looked at it, he cursed: "Unfilial sons! I'm so sick, and you still want me to worry about you!"
The word "unfilial" is a serious crime if it is considered a crime. The three of them knelt down immediately and shouted to their father to calm down.
"Calm down, calm down, what else can you do besides shouting these words!"
The emperor's anger did not subside at all, but became even more angry: "Every day, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, you just make trouble, and you don't do any serious work at all! Look at Zhiyu and Yanting, they know how to accompany me to relieve my boredom, and look at you again, unless there is something, you dare not step into my bedroom!"
"It's better to raise a dog than you!"
"..."
The emperor had never been so angry before. The three of them knelt on the ground with stiff bodies, not daring to raise their heads, looking at their noses and their hearts.
[Tsk tsk tsk, I lost, and I just found an excuse to get angry. 】
【Swearing won't change the fate of having a note stuck on you later! 】
Emperor: "..."
He Yanting: "..."
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
The emperor paused while flipping through the books, then put his fist to his lips and coughed twice.
"Tell me, why do you want to change people?"
The tone of this sentence was much softer than before.
Xiao Yanli licked his lips and said with a twinkling in his eyes the excuse he had thought of yesterday: "Your Majesty, you don't know, but the night before the wedding, I was the victim of two assassination attempts while I was in your house. The bodies of the assassins are all in your house. Your Majesty can send someone to check at any time."
"Your son thinks this matter is unusual, and then I remember that your son married under the pretext of celebrating
your happiness, so an idea came to my mind." "Is it possible that someone didn't want Chongxi's wedding to go smoothly, and didn't want your father to recover, so they planned the assassination."
"It's just that the person they wanted to assassinate was Shi Wei, but because they couldn't find the way, they ran into him."
There was a hint of relief in Xiao Yanli's tone when he spoke.
"Two assassinations?" Xiao Chuji repeated, "When we were here yesterday, your sixth brother didn't mention a word about this."
Xiao Yanli ignored Xiao Chuji and continued, "Because these two incidents alerted me, I was worried that the concubine ceremony would not go smoothly, so I asked a maid to pretend to be Shi Wei and get on the wedding sedan."
"Sure enough, the assassin took action in broad daylight on the street, killed the person and then walked away."
Xiao Chuji sneered, "Sixth brother is really a good storyteller. That's not what you said yesterday."
Xiao Yanli still turned a deaf ear to him, "Father, I have no other thoughts. Everything I did was to save Shi Wei's life and to bring you joy!"
Jiang Zhiyu: "..."
[I can only give this story 8.5 points. Ask me why? Because I have a little bit of eloquence. 】
【No, it sounds fine at first, but it's full of problems when you think about it carefully. 】
【Even the dumbest person would not believe that the emperor would be cured after the congratulatory ceremony. How can it be said that Song Shiwei's life is tied to the emperor's life. 】
【According to this logic, if she is gone, there is no one else to congratulate her? 】
【Anyone who believes it is a fool. 】
Emperor: "..."
He Yanting: "..."
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
Knowing Xiao Yanli's character, they didn't believe what he said.
But after Jiang Zhiyu pointed it out so bluntly, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Fortunately, they didn't believe it, otherwise they would be regarded as fools.
The emperor frowned slightly: "There is more. I read the complaint. When the body was first found, you cried bitterly, as if you had lost your beloved. It was obviously you who planned it. Why did you have to do such a drama?"
Xiao Chuji looked at Xiao Yanli calmly.
Xiao Yanli was not panicked: "Your Majesty, I did this to deceive the assassins and let them think they succeeded, so as to avoid suspicion and do it again."
"You are full of nonsense!" Xiao Chuji couldn't help but retort: "Then what about you stopping the autopsy many times?" "
I didn't stop it. I just didn't want to do the autopsy in public. Once the autopsy is done, the human skin mask will definitely not be hidden. Then how can I deceive the assassins?"
Xiao Chuji choked.
"Then again," Xiao Yanli looked at him calmly, his eyes slightly drooping: "Second brother is so aggressive, but Yanli wants to ask, the flying knife on the maid's chest that caused her death was clearly a weapon used by your subordinates, how do you explain it?"
Xiao Chuji gritted his teeth: "There are many people who use flying knives as weapons, it's not me who did it, why should I explain it?"
"Yes, there are indeed many, but the wood used to make the flying knife is the maple tree, because it is not easy to survive, this tree is extremely rare. As far as Yanli knows, in the entire Shengjing City, only the second brother's warm courtyard has this tree planted."
The smile on Xiao Chuji's face disappeared immediately.
"The flying knife is in the hands of the prince, father, can you send someone to verify whether what your son said is true."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Lingyu took out the flying knife and handed it to Fuping.
[Most of it is indeed maple wood, but a small part is willow wood.]
[Because when he sent people to steal it, they were discovered, and what they brought back was just not enough.]
The emperor's eyes froze, and he was about to speak.
[But although the flying knife was fake, the assassination was real.]
The emperor: "!!!"
He swallowed the words in his throat, and stopped lying on the bed. He stood up and looked at his two annoying sons through the gauze curtain.
Xiao Yanli and Xiao Chuji could naturally see his movements. Their heartbeats skipped a beat and they held their breath.
It was extremely uncomfortable to have his life in the hands of others. Xiao Yanli's eyes were bloodshot.
One day, he will defeat everyone and sit in the position above ten thousand people!
The emperor was thinking about how to deal with it, and Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice sounded incessantly.
[What should we do if the children make trouble? Most of them are free. Just beat them up.]
[They are so old now, it's time to let them suffer a little. The prison of the Ministry of Justice is not bad. The environment is quiet, there is no noise of the crowd, three meals a day, food and accommodation are provided. It's not suffering, it's a blessing! 】
【The princes were reluctant to leave, and even said they would come again next time! 】
Emperor: “…”
He Yanting: “…”
Xiao Lingyu: “…”
