Chapter 435 Assassination
Yuan Ziyu looked at Huo Xifei, was silent for a moment, and said nothing.
She knew that Huo Xifei would definitely do anything for him, but Huo Xifei had the Xuanping Marquisate, Aunt Meng, Wan'er and others behind him. If he followed her into the palace today, it would be equivalent to officially standing on the opposite side of Emperor Wen of Qi. The crime of being a traitor might be confirmed, and then the whole mansion would be implicated.
So, when the time came, she hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Huo Xifei asked when he saw Yuan Ziyu looking at him without saying anything.
"Brother Xi, if you come into the palace with me this time, I'm afraid there will be no turning back. By then, I'm afraid the entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion will be implicated." Yuan Ziyu pursed her lips and said. She regretted asking Huo Twelve to send a message to Huo Xifei. She didn't have time to think so much at the time, and the first person she thought of was Huo Xifei. But now that she thinks about it carefully, she is actually dragging the Xuanping Marquis Mansion into the quagmire. It was a bit selfish of her to do so.
"Don't worry, I've already told my mother about this. She agrees with me. No matter what happens, the Xuanping Marquisate will stand on Uncle Yuan's side." Huo Xifei thought for a moment and understood Yuan Ziyou's intention. He chuckled and said, "And don't worry, I've already arranged for people to protect the safety of everyone in the Marquisate."
"What if my family really rebels?" Yuan Ziyu asked, pursing her lips.
"Then let's go together." Huo Xifei's tone was very firm, and his eyes were filled with infinite tenderness as he looked at Yuan Ziyu: "You'er, do you think I would stand against you?"
"No." Yuan Ziyu was naturally very sure about this.
"That's it." Huo Xifei said softly, "No matter when I find out about this matter, my position will not change."
Yuan Ziyou felt his eyes burning: "Okay."
Since that's the case, she will try her best to protect the two governments!
After making up their minds, the two of them ordered Huo Twelve to arrange people to protect everyone in the mansion, and then they drove the Qiongjiang Pavilion, left Yuan Mansion and headed towards the palace.
The speed of Qiongjiang Pavilion was very fast, and the two of them soon caught up with Yuan Qifeng. They quietly followed Yuan Qifeng all the way into the Qinzheng Hall.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Wen of Qi flipped through the memorial in his hand with a little irritation, but he didn't actually read a single word, and kept glancing towards the gate.
Seeing this, Eunuch Liu was in no mood to persuade him, so he respectfully placed a cup of tea next to Emperor Wen of Qi and said, "Your Majesty, it should be here soon. Please have some tea first."
"Hmm." Emperor Wen of Qi nodded and took a sip of his teacup when a young eunuch hurried in and knelt down to announce, "Your Majesty, General Yuan has arrived."
arrive!
Emperor Wen of Qi's hand trembled slightly, and the slightly hot tea spilled on the back of his hand without him noticing. He just said, "Come in."
"yes."
Soon, Yuan Qifeng entered the Qinzheng Palace, prostrated himself, and said, "General Yuan Qifeng greets His Majesty."
"My dear Yuan, please stand up." Emperor Wen of Qi took a deep breath, and his voice was indistinguishable from joy or anger.
Yuan Qifeng kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up.
After Yuan Qifeng stood up, Emperor Wen of Qi did not say anything, but stared at Yuan Qifeng with narrowed eyes, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, a sigh and a struggle, which eventually turned into cruelty hidden in his eyes.
Yuan Qifeng, who lowered his head slightly, did not see it, but Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei in Qiongjiang Pavilion saw it clearly.
Yuan Ziyu was secretly shocked, knowing that Emperor Wen of Qi might still take action today.
All I heard was Emperor Wen of Qi saying calmly, "My dear Yuan, do you admit your guilt?"
"Your Majesty," Yuan Qifeng said loudly, "I wonder where my crime came from?"
"I don't know where your crime comes from?" Emperor Wen of Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Qifeng. "My dear Yuan, we have been king and subject for more than 20 years. I will give you some face. If you admit it yourself, I will certainly give you a lighter sentence for the sake of our relationship as king and subject for more than 20 years."
Yuan Ziyou was so angry that his face turned red in the Qiongjiang Pavilion: "This dog emperor is so shameless and despicable. Which dog sent a eunuch to my house yesterday to announce the decree to confiscate my property?"
Huo Xifei comforted the visibly furious Yuan Ziyou: "We'll deal with him later."
Yuan Qifeng listened to what Emperor Wen of Qi said, and an inexplicable emotion flashed across his eyes. "I thank Your Majesty for your consideration, but I have always been loyal and have never done anything to offend the Dali Dynasty or Your Majesty. I don't know who has accused me of this, but I am willing to confront him in court and only ask that I be cleared of all charges."
Yuan Qifeng emphasized the word "compassion". Emperor Wen of Qi naturally understood the implication and felt even more dissatisfied in his heart. Was Yuan Qifeng dissatisfied with him?
"My dear Yuan, are you still unwilling to plead guilty?" Emperor Wen of Qi asked softly, "I will give you one more chance, just one. If you still refuse to plead guilty, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between us as monarch and subject."
"Your Majesty, I am innocent." Yuan Qifeng stood straight and looked directly at Emperor Wen of Qi.
Emperor Wen of Qi did not mention a word about the so-called accuser, but only forced him to confess his guilt... Yuan Qifeng now finally admitted the fact that he was most reluctant to admit in his heart: Emperor Wen of Qi really wanted him to die.
"Oh, not guilty?" Yuan Qifeng's expression made Emperor Wen of Qi angry and somewhat embarrassed: "Yuan Qifeng, I give you face, please don't take advantage of my favor and become arrogant."
"Your Majesty, what crime do you want me to confess? Treason?" Yuan Qifeng suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any evidence to prove my guilt?"
"Wasn't that evidence taken away by someone from your Yuan family?" Emperor Wen of Qi lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the teacup in front of him, and said softly, "My dear Yuan, please don't test my patience again and again. Apart from Xiao Zhuzi, there are only you and me here, the emperor and his subject. If you plead guilty, I will give you a lighter sentence."
"What if I don't plead guilty?" Yuan Qifeng asked gritting his teeth.
"Then..." Emperor Wen of Qi looked at Yuan Qifeng coldly: "My dear Yuan, please don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying this, Emperor Wen of Qi threw the teacup in his hand fiercely to the ground: "Yuan Qifeng, you traitor and villain!"
At the same time, Eunuch Liu's sharp voice rang out: "Someone, come and help the emperor! Yuan Qifeng is trying to assassinate the emperor!"
