Chapter 312 Do you really think I dare not kill you?
Rong Fei's expression froze, and when she caught a glimpse of Xie Xun out of the corner of her eye, her breathing paused. While she was thinking, she had figured out the situation.
"Are you Xie Xun?"
Without waiting for Xie Xun to answer, the King of Beiyue said with interest, "How strange."
"Why does Your Highness say that?" Concubine Rong stared at Xie Xun.
"I'm just curious, what on earth is this boy capable of that has the Emperor and Concubine Rong paying so much attention to him? Is it just because of his handsome appearance?"
Rong Fei looked at Xie Xun's face and said slowly, "Yes, Your Highness is right. This face is so surprising."
Not far away, there was the sound of Emperor Xuande's uncontrollable anger, almost a roar.
"Mumu, is this the person your grandfather chose for you?" Rong Fei sneered, "Is he helping you, or harming you?"
"Mother, how could Grandpa harm Mumu? He loves me so much."
Concubine Rong sneered, "His face is enough to harm you."
She didn't expect that Gu Jian was so bold as to bring someone into the palace openly.
Is he relying on the merits he just gained to act so recklessly and not take the emperor seriously?
"Xie Xun, I want to ask you, where have you been all these years?"
"Pei County." Xie Xun answered calmly.
"It really is a great place. It can actually raise a young man like you. Where are your parents?"
Xie Xun clenched his fists. He couldn't possibly expect Concubine Rong not to see his identity. After all, she had never given up looking for him.
This woman is so meticulous, how can we expect her not to see it?
"My parents were killed when I was a child, and I was raised by the family servants. But Pei County was struck by a disaster, and we met Mr. Gu on the way to escape."
"Then how were your parents murdered? Do you know who their enemy is? Now that you have the Gu family as your backing, have you ever thought about avenging your parents?"
As she asked, the Wise King of North Vietnam just watched, as if piecing together a story from their words.
Xie Xun's eyes were dark and bright, emitting a burning light. The powerful hatred was about to swallow up his reason, but what he was more worried about now was General Gu.
Is Emperor Xuande willing to give him a chance to tell the truth of that year?
This is the most important thing.
"I have thought about it, but I will avenge them with my own hands."
A hint of disdain flashed across Rong Fei's smile. "Do you really think you can still be separated from the Gu family now? Your revenge is also the Gu family's revenge, but revenge is not so easy to take."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'll have to try to know if it's a good idea or not."
"I'm afraid you won't have the chance to take revenge, Xie Xun." Rong Fei emphasized the last two words.
However, on the other side, Emperor Xuande had already returned with Old Man Gu. He was still furious, "Wise Prince, General Hu Lie, there are some important matters at court. Please excuse me."
The wise king sighed, there was no more fun to watch.
Concubine Rong suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, this child..."
Emperor Xuande glanced at Xie Xun, his eyes filled with coldness, "Fei Rong, come too."
"And you!" Emperor Xuande looked at Xie Xun, "Follow me."
Concubine Rong glanced at the King of Beiyue, but the King of Beiyue just smiled, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, what's going on? Our..."
"Ahem!" The virtuous king thought of what Hu Lie had blurted out. "General Hu Lie, we are guests. Guests should be aware of their duties and not meddle in the host's affairs. They will tell us what we should know, and don't ask about things we shouldn't know."
Hu Lie nodded.
When Li Mumu passed by the Wise King, he stopped her and said, "Little girl, if your grandfather makes a big mistake this time, maybe I can make a deal with you and help you, as long as..."
Li Mumu interrupted him before he could finish. She would never seek the skin of a tiger. "Your Highness, thank you, but my grandfather did nothing wrong."
"This little girl doesn't know what's good for her." Hu Lie said angrily.
The virtuous prince raised his hand to stop him. He held his chin in his hand and watched the group leave. "Hu Lie, who do you think that young man is? Why is the Emperor of Dongyao angry when he disagrees with him? And Concubine Rong seems very nervous too."
"It can't be a bastard, right?" Hu Lie chuckled and pulled at his wound. "The emperor wouldn't keep his bastard child out of the house, would he? Could it be Concubine Rong..."
The virtuous king rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's not that he's a bastard, but I think the child's face is somewhat similar to that of a royal family member."
"Is it really royal blood?" Hu Lie immediately became curious. "Your Highness, you are the smartest. You said that if it is royal blood, then why are they not happy to see it? The emperor should be happy."
"You're right. If you're of royal blood and you're unhappy after seeing it, then that can only mean..."
In the imperial study.
Emperor Xuande sat upright on the chair, his chest heaving, and even picked up the white jade inkstone at hand and smashed it towards Gu Jian.
Gu Jian didn't dodge, he was just hit and it didn't hurt.
But Xie Xun caught it directly with his hand.
"Bold, outrageous!"
Xie Xun's action completely angered Emperor Xuande, and his imperial power was challenged again.
Eunuch Kang Hai was also startled, "Come here, protect the emperor."
Xie Xun simply put the inkstone down gently, then looked at the guards who entered with weapons, "Once you explain the matter, I will naturally let you deal with it. As the king of a country, don't you even have the courage to face the past?"
"Shut up, you unfilial thing." Emperor Xuande shouted angrily.
Xie Xun's expression stung his eyes. The defiance and dissatisfaction in his eyes told him how wrong a decision he had made.
"Who let you in?" Emperor Xuande scolded the guards harshly.
He felt powerless because his authority had no effect at all in the eyes of this young man, and he felt no fear at all.
"Gu Jian, you know you've committed the crime of annihilating Group Nine. Do you think that because we just won a battle, Dongyao can't do without you, so you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not."
"You dare not, but you are very brave." Emperor Xuande stared at Xie Xun.
"This matter has nothing to do with General Gu."
"Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Emperor Xuande asked. At this time, the little eunuch reported that Bai Xiang wanted to see him.
"What is he doing here?" Emperor Xuande looked at Gu Jian. "Did you guys collude with each other?"
Gu Jian shook his head. "Your Majesty, that old man's grandson covets my Mumu. Perhaps he also came to see Mumu's fiancé."
"Bullshit!" Emperor Xuande cursed angrily, "Alright, alright, you two old bastards, who do you think I am? You actually used futures to play tricks on me. Gu Jian, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
