Chapter 359 I Don’t Recognize You as My Big Brother Anymore
At the same time, Zuo Sixian rushed into the palace without stopping, but waited in the Yangxin Palace for an incense stick of time before he saw the Emperor of Jin.
"Your Majesty, I, Zuo Sixian, pay my respects to you!" Although he was extremely anxious, he had to calm himself down and said, "Your Majesty, I have a matter for you to decide."
Yuan Tianchen was sitting on a high seat. At this time, Zuo Sixian hurried into the palace to ask for a meeting. Of course, he couldn't be unaware of why.
He spoke slowly, "What's the matter, Sixian? Tell me."
"Your Majesty, just now the Crown Prince went to the Censorate prison and took Li Suining away..." Zuo Sixian paused and looked at the emperor's expression cautiously.
Seeing that the emperor looked normal and not surprised at all, he understood that Yuan Huaihong had indeed obtained Yuan Tianchen's consent.
His mind was racing. By this time, Li Suining must have been taken away.
"Your Majesty, although Li Suining is only a four-year-old child, he is indeed the apple of Bai Yunfeng's eye..."
"Why?" Yuan Tianchen asked with a hint of impatience, "Does Sixian think that I shouldn't agree to the Crown Prince taking Li Suining away?"
He stood up, his voice becoming a bit more stern, "Could it be that... without this four-year-old child, you can't take care of Bai Yunfeng's child?"
"Your Majesty, regardless of whether Li Suining remains in the Censorate, I have complete confidence in this case."
Zuo Sixian naturally couldn't say that he couldn't handle the case without Li Suining.
He continued, "However, in this case, regardless of whether Bai Yunfeng truly had the intention of treason, the actions of his general's mansion have already exceeded the duties of a subject."
Yuan Tianchen's expression relaxed a little, and he was obviously satisfied with this sentence.
"So, Your Majesty, I believe that your majesty is magnanimous and His Royal Highness cares for the child. This is a blessing for us ministers. However, the General's Mansion must not be spared from any lesson."
Zuo Sixian said seriously, "As Li Suining is the most beloved child in the General's Mansion, the Emperor's punishment of her cannot be brushed aside."
Yuan Tianchen nodded in agreement.
Indeed, it is not right to embarrass a child, but Li Suining's identity is different. She is the apple of everyone's eye in the General's Mansion at Baiyun Peak, and she is also a sharp weapon that can be used to control the General's Mansion.
The Emperor of Jin suddenly felt a little annoyed. In fact, he did not want to agree to the Crown Prince taking Li Suining to the Eastern Palace at that time, but he could not stand the Crown Prince and that brat Zuo Er who kept on trying to trick him.
Now, there is no way for him to take back his decision.
However, he thought about it and slowly said, "Don't worry, Sixian, I agree that Li Suining will stay in the Eastern Palace temporarily. In a few days, please don't let the prince send her back to the Censorate."
He told the prince at that time that he just wanted Tuanzi to meet Fuxing. After the meeting, he would naturally have a reason to send Tuanzi back.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zuo Sixian breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Yuan Tianchen's listless expression and immediately said, "If the emperor has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
"Go." Yuan Tianchen waved his hand, stood up and left.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell." Zuo Sixian waited until the Jin Emperor disappeared before he sighed helplessly and headed home.
He knew that when he returned to the Censorate, Yuan Huaihong and Li Suining would definitely have left.
He could even guess that before leaving, the group must have gone to meet Bai Yunfeng and others.
"Damn it!" Zuo Sixian gritted his teeth silently.
However, when he returned to the Censorate, he unexpectedly saw Zuo Jiali waiting at the door.
"Brother!" Seeing Zuo Sixian finally come back, Zuo Jiali immediately greeted him with a smile, "Brother, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Zuo Sixian suddenly slapped him.
With a "slap", Zuo Jiali was caught off guard and took the slap hard, looking at Zuo Sixian in disbelief.
As far as he could remember, this was the first time his brother had hit him since he was a child.
In the past, he had made mistakes and didn't study hard, but Zuo Sixian would just scold him and never hit him. But today...
Zuo Jiali covered his face, his eyes red as he sobbed, "Brother, why did you hit me?"
"I'll wake you up, you fool." Zuo Sixian didn't show any pain or regret. Instead, he pointed at Zuo Jiali and cursed, "Do you know how important Li Suining is to the Bai family's case?"
Zuo Jiali didn't understand. "She's just a four-year-old child. How important can she be?"
"You're simply... hopeless!" Zuo Sixian pointed at him and continued to curse, "Get out of here! You haven't made any progress in all these years. Now that my father's life or death is unknown, am I supposed to just sit there and watch the Zuo family be destroyed in your hands?"
"Brother!" Zuo Jiali burst into tears. When had Zuo Sixian ever scolded him like that?
Moreover, since he failed the imperial examination last time and so many things happened at home, he believed that he had grown a lot and had never slacked off in his studies at the Imperial College. Why did Zuo Sixian scold him like that?
He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is it really that serious? I just want my sister to have a better life. Have I committed some terrible mistake?"
"You still have the nerve to ask? Get out of here right now! From now on, without my permission, you will stay in the Imperial College and are not allowed to go home! Otherwise, don't worry about me kicking you out of the house with my own hands!"
After saying this, Zuo Sixian flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked into the Censorate, and even ordered the guards on both sides, "From now on, no one is allowed to let this useless thing in without my permission."
"Yes, Lord Zuo." The two guards looked at each other with a look of fear.
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. If you don't want to go back to that home, then don't go back."
Zuo Jiali wiped his tears and shouted at Zuo Sixian's back, "There's no one left at home anyway, and you're the only one who hates me so much. I don't want to go back."
"Humph! Zuo Sixian, I hate you too! I don't recognize you as my big brother anymore!"
He also turned around and left angrily.
The more Zuo Jiali thought about it, the angrier he became. Yuan Huaihong and Xiaotuanzi had just left together and had even invited him to sit in the East Palace.
However, he was worried that Zuo Sixian would not have a smooth life after entering the palace, so he refused them and waited for Zuo Sixian to come back.
But I didn't expect that I would be slapped and scolded.
"Damn Zuo Sixian, bastard Zuo Sixian, don't come to see me in the Imperial College."
He cursed as he walked away, "Don't ever ask me to go home again!"
At the gate of the Censorate, Zuo Sixian stood inside the door and did not leave.
After a long while, he whispered to the door behind him, "Has the Second Young Master left?"
"Master Zuo, they've already gone far away," a guard responded, and then asked tentatively, "Master Zuo, do you need me to bring the Second Young Master back?"
"No need." Zuo Sixian waved his hand, stood at the gate again, and watched Zuo Jiali's back as he walked away.
If his life or death is in danger in this fight with the Bai family, then at least he can save his younger brother.
After a long moment, he sighed deeply and instructed the guards again, "Remember what I said just now. From now on, no matter where in the Censorate, Zuo Jiali is not allowed to set foot inside."
"Yes, sir!"
