Just when no one in the room spoke, the eunuch outside the door came to report that the imperial guard Luo Yangling had brought Zhao father and son in.
When Yu Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately complained to Emperor Xianzong: "Zhao Beicheng wanted to take Xiaoliu away. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have left the city with Xiaoliu by now!"
Young Master Gu felt that he was the one who didn't need to speak, and that Her Royal Highness the Princess could easily kill Zhao Qiu Ming's family.
"Bring in the Zhao father and son," Xianzong ordered outside the door.
The eunuch outside the door said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Beicheng is now unconscious. Should we bring him to see Your Majesty?"
Xianzong looked at his daughter without a second thought. It must be you who did this, right?
Yu Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course: "He wants to take Xiaoliu away, how can I not beat him?"
Xianzong shook his hand to Yu Xiaoxiao, telling the girl to shut up, and said to the outside, "Ask Luo Yangling to bring Zhao Qiuming here."
Yu Xiao: "Then can we leave?" After sending the little kid back home, there was no way this tyrant would kill the little bitch Concubine Zhao. Yu Xiaoxiao felt that there was no need for her group to stay.
Xianzong lowered his head and looked at his son again.
When Yu Ziming heard that Yu Xiaoxiao was leaving, he grabbed Gu Xinglang's clothes with his two little hands and refused to let go.
Xianzong asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Did you hit Zhao Beicheng in front of Ziming?"
Yu Xiao: "Yeah."
Xianzong understood that his son was frightened by the sight of his daughter beating up Zhao Beicheng. (Our emperor is very wise!)
Yu Xiao: "Can we leave or not?"
Gu Xingnuo said at this time: "Your Majesty, I think the Sixth Prince is frightened. Let the Princess and the Prince Consort accompany the Sixth Prince for a while, maybe it will make the Sixth Prince feel at ease."
Emperor Xianzong looked at his son's hand that was clinging to Gu Xinglang's collar and said, "Linglong and Qinghui, send Ziming to Mingguang Palace."
Gu Xingnuo glanced at Gu Xinglang, asking him to take the Sixth Prince away quickly.
Although Gu Xinglang didn't understand what his elder brother was going to do, he still accepted his orders.
Yu Xiaoxiao had no objection. She sent the little kid home. Then, sending him back to his room was just a matter of walking a few more steps.
After the young couple left with Yu Ziming, Zhao Qiu Ming also followed Luo Yangling to Emperor Xianzong.
After Zhao Qiu Ming saluted him, Emperor Xianzong did not let Zhao Qiu Ming stand up, and asked Luo Yangling: "What happened in the Zhao Mansion just now?"
Luo Yangling no longer wanted to offend Prime Minister Zhao, but he did not dare to deceive the emperor. He told Emperor Xianzong about how Zhao Beicheng hugged the Sixth Prince and shouted at him, not letting the Sixth Prince go to the Executioner's Palace, and wanted to take the Sixth Prince away, and how he was finally slapped unconscious by Princess Linglong.
Gu Xingnuo was very surprised when he heard this. It was obvious that the princess had slept with the Sixth Prince in the Gu Mansion for one night, so how could this turn out to be that Zhao Beicheng wanted to take his nephew and run away? Young Master Gu was puzzled.
Xianzong was so angry that he could not sit still. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth in front of Zhao Qiuming for a few times. Finally, he stood in front of Zhao Qiuming and asked angrily: "Do you, the Zhao family, think that I am easy to bully?!"
Zhao Qiu Ming kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"
"You secretly sent the prince out of the palace." Xianzong kicked Zhao Qiuming, causing Prime Minister Zhao to fall over, and cursed, "This is a capital crime! Who gave you the courage?!"
Zhao Beicheng was caught red-handed by the imperial guards. Zhao Qiumin knew that he could not plead his innocence this time, so he could only cry to Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, the Queen also loves her son dearly. The Sixth Prince is only three years old now. After the execution, when can the Queen see the Sixth Prince again? Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I cannot bear to see the Queen and the Sixth Prince separated as mother and son. The Queen cries every day for the Sixth Prince, and she herself is seriously injured. Your Majesty, my heart, I..." Zhao Qiumin knelt at Emperor Xianzong's feet, crying so hard that he could no longer speak. He knelt with his forehead touching the ground, and his tears wet the ground where he was kneeling.
Gu Xingnuo looked at Zhao Qiu Ming pretending to be pitiful, and sneered in his heart. How could this power-hungry, dark and cunning villain be a kind father? Zhao Qiu Ming's acting skills were no worse than those of the popular actors in the theater.
Xianzong sat back on the couch. Zhao Qiuming's cry for Concubine Zhao's motherly kindness softened Xianzong's sentimental heart. If Jing Mo hadn't discovered that Zhao Qiuming was secretly monitoring Deyi Winery, the eldest prince would not have asked for Yu Ziming to be a hostage. In the final analysis, he was still sorry for Concubine Zhao and Zhao Qiuming's heart for the country.
Gu Xingnuo said at this time: "Prime Minister, Concubine Zhao is reluctant to part with the Sixth Prince, does His Majesty also want to part with the Sixth Prince? You are being too cruel to His Majesty when you say that."
Zhao Qiu Ming was secretly resentful in his heart, he knew that the eldest son of the Gu family was not a good person.
After listening to Gu Xingnuo's words, Xianzong's face darkened again. Yes, Concubine Zhao was a loving mother, and Zhao Qiuming was a kind father. So he was a cruel man, sending his own son to someone else as a hostage? If it wasn't for Fengtian's country and the people of Fengtian to avoid the suffering of war, why would he be so cruel and give up his own son?
"If there is something sad, Concubine Zhao should tell His Majesty," Gu Xingnuo whispered, "How could His Majesty have the heart to let the Sixth Prince go to the palace to be executed? You secretly took the Sixth Prince out of the palace. Prime Minister Zhao, you fulfilled the maternal love of Concubine Zhao, but where did you put His Majesty?"
Zhao Qiu Ming stole a glance at Emperor Xianzong, and his face was so gloomy that it looked like it was going to rain. "Your Majesty," Zhao Qiu Ming knocked his head heavily to the ground, almost dying in front of Emperor Xianzong, and confessed to him, "I was bewildered for a moment, I have failed Your Majesty, I deserve to die! Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao just loves her son so much, she just doesn't want to show her sadness in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty, all this is my fault, I am willing to die to apologize, I only ask Your Majesty not to blame Concubine Zhao."
Gu Xingnuo said, "Prime Minister, how can you threaten His Majesty with death?" Young Master Gu didn't believe that Zhao Qiu Ming was willing to die.
Zhao Qiu Ming cursed Gu Xingnuo in his heart, called him a bastard, stood up suddenly, lowered his head and rammed his head against the wall.
Gu Xingnuo really hoped that Zhao Qiu Ming would just hit his head and die.
Jingzhong couldn't bear to watch Concubine Zhao's father die by hitting the wall, so he quickly dodged and came to Zhao Qiuming, stopped him, and said, "Prime Minister, how can you take your life lightly in front of the emperor?"
Zhao Qiu Ming cried bitterly, looking as sad as if he wanted to die but couldn't.
When Emperor Xianzong saw that Zhao Qiumin was about to commit suicide, his heart softened again. This man had assisted him for all these years, and now he forced a minister who had worked hard and made great contributions to death. Emperor Xianzong felt that he was a real coward.
When Gu Xingnuo saw tears in Emperor Xianzong's eyes, he knew that he was doomed. The emperor was once again moved by the treacherous Prime Minister Zhao Qiu Ming!
"You..." Xianzong wanted Zhao Qiu Ming to stand up and speak.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has revived Zhao Beicheng," just after Emperor Xianzong said the word "you", a eunuch's report suddenly came from outside the door.
