Chapter 124 The Prince's Expression
Before the Emperor could issue an edict, a voice came from outside.
"Father, I beg you to show me mercy!"
An Yunxi turned his head and saw the prince in the East Palace, who was actually rushing over with his men.
He was sweating all over because of running all the way, and he immediately knelt in front of Emperor Beiling.
"Father, please show me mercy, I only have this one sister, and I absolutely cannot let her marry!" As soon as
the prince appeared, everyone's expression became even weirder.
When the noble concubine saw this scene, the smile on her mouth became deeper and deeper. Not only was she not angry, but there was even a hint of watching a good show in her eyes.
How could Ling Changning's scandal not involve the prince?
Ling Changning couldn't hold back any longer when he saw his brother coming, and started to cry loudly, crying heartbreakingly, extremely pitiful.
"Royal brother, save me, save Changning"
A cold look flashed across the prince's eyes, and he knelt in front of his father with his head lowered without saying a word.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the prince.
"Isn't it too late for you to come and beg for mercy now?"
Hearing this, the prince's face turned pale.
The emperor continued: "Your mother is suspected of murdering the eldest prince. She admitted it herself, and there are so many witnesses. The evidence is already confirmed. Your sister drugged people and suffered the consequences. She did such a shameful thing in the palace. If she is not married, she will have no way out."
After saying this, the emperor couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with his hands.
A violent cough was heard.
The prince suddenly raised his head and saw that the emperor's hands were covered in blood.
"Father!"
The prince's face was pale and he was extremely emotional.
The eunuch next to him hurried over to wipe the emperor's face, and the blood stained the handkerchief in his hand. The eyes of Emperor Beiling were very deep.
"I thought you could make me worry less, but you disobeyed my order for a woman and intended to cancel the engagement. Are you going to piss me off to death?"
The imperial concubine patted the emperor's back gently to comfort him.
Then she said, "Your Majesty, Changxi has been very obedient recently, and he has always done well in what you asked him to do."
Mentioning her son at this time, the imperial concubine's thoughts were obvious.
The emperor pursed his lips and said nothing, but looked at the prince coldly.
The disappointment in his eyes became more and more intense.
The prince lowered his head and looked at the ground, his fingers tightly grasping the robe on his knees. After a while, he spoke with red eyes.
"I understand."
The emperor waved his hand.
"Get up, I am annoyed when I see you."
The prince stood up and took the initiative to stand aside.
Ling Changning rushed over and grabbed the prince's hand.
"Royal brother, what's wrong with you, don't you care about Changning? Please, please save Changning."
The prince paused, looking at his sister crying on the ground, his heart was like a knife.
"Changning, your brother is useless and can't save you."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Changning's hand loosened, and he could only watch the prince walk away from him.
Her face was pale, and she was pulled up by two maids from the side, but she seemed to have lost her strength as she listened to the emperor's final judgment.
"Lock up Ling Changning, and after three months, escort him to Mobei to marry!"
An order was given.
Ling Changning's future was already doomed.
The queen mother waved her hand lightly, and someone took Ling Changning away.
As for the remaining three people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, An Yunxi had no interest in them. They were just puppets arranged by Ling Changning. If they were still alive, they were just disgusting themselves.
It had nothing to do with her.
However, An Yunxi didn't care much.
But Ling Fengxun didn't intend to let these three people go.
Just when the emperor was about to order someone to detain the three of them first and then send them back to the Duke of Zhen for punishment, Ling Fengyan suddenly drew out the long sword from the waist of the guard next to him. When
the emperor saw this scene, his eyes almost widened.
"Ling Fengyan, what are you doing, stop it!"
However, at this moment, Ling Fengyan seemed not to hear the emperor's words, and ran towards the three people with the sword in hand.
They were originally in the same courtyard, not far away, and no one expected that the Regent would take action personally. Everyone was shocked and stiffened in place, and had no time to react
. Of course, even if they had time, no one wanted to fight the Regent.
Everyone only saw a flash of knife light as fast as lightning.
Under the moonlight, the silver light flickered for a moment, and then, the three young masters of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, who were wailing for mercy just now, fell limply to the ground.
There was a neat cut on their necks, and countless blood gushed out. Their bodies were still twitching due to the severe pain, but because they were tied with ropes, they could only feel the blood flowing out of their bodies, and their breathing became slow.
The severe pain in their necks made them suffer unimaginable physical and mental torture before they died.
Ling Fenghuan retracted his long sword, and the blade was very clean, and there was not even any blood.
It can be seen how fast he was with the sword.
Ling Fengxun looked cold, staring at these people with indifference, his voice was as cold as ice.
"They deserve to die. What I did was legal and compliant, and I think my brother should have no objection."
The emperor's face was terribly gloomy.
His hands were shaking with anger.
Ling Fengxun was really lawless and didn't take him, the emperor, seriously at all.
"Prince Xie, you killed the three grandsons of the Duke of Zhenguo, aren't you afraid of driving him crazy?"
Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes, his sharp eyes were full of murderous intent.
"If he dares to rebel, I have plenty of ways to get rid of him. What about his grandsons? If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner!"
"You"
The emperor was furious.
The three grandsons died together in the palace. As the emperor, he had no way to negotiate with the Duke of Zhenguo.
The prestige of the Duke of Zhenguo in the court was extremely high. He could even imagine how troublesome and headache things would be next.
The queen mother took a look at the three grandsons of the Duke of Zhenguo who had already died, and couldn't help but slightly raised her forehead, and then said: "The people are already dead, why is the emperor still talking so much? Come on, take the bodies down and send them back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."
A group of guards immediately prepared a rack, lifted the three people up, and covered them with a layer of white cloth.
It turned out that someone had cleaned up the blood on the ground.
When Ling Fengxun saw the long sword put back in its place, it seemed that his anger had finally subsided a little.
The prince looked at all this with his eyes wide open, and there were bloodshot in his eyes.
Those three people were all his cousins!
But now, all three of them have died under the sword of Uncle Huangxun!
He only felt an emotion called hatred surging in his chest, and the fingers hanging by his side were also slightly tightened.
The prince had no idea what had happened.
He just avoided the Hundred Flowers Banquet today and accompanied Ruxue in the East Palace.
As a result, just one day later, his mother was banished to the cold palace, his sister was forced to marry, and his three cousins died in front of him.
