Both Xiao Chen and Crown Prince Xiao Ming left Qianyuan Hall, leaving only Emperor Ming Jing and Situ Wuming in the huge palace.
Time passes by every second.
Xiao Chen stood at the door of Qianyuan Hall, his head filled with Situ Wuming's unfathomable smile.
Xiao Chen had reason to believe that old man Situ Wuming already knew everything he had done.
After an unknown amount of time, an old eunuch in a crimson robe walked out of Qianyuan Hall.
He flicked his whisk and said in a shrill voice:
"Your Majesty has issued an order!"
"Because the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and the Crown Prince is kind and filial, he has requested to go to his ancestral land to pray for blessings for three months. This has been approved."
"Ninth Prince Xiao Chen is drunk and immoral. He is sentenced to confinement for three months and a fine of one year's salary. He is required to reflect on himself and is not allowed to leave without permission."
"So ordered!"
.....
“Just like that?!!”
“That’s it??”
"Why?!!"
Xiao Chen stood still and looked up at the eunuch in a crimson robe who was delivering the imperial edict.
He looked bewildered.
Defilement of the Emperor's sister-in-law is a grave sin.
But after Situ Wuming drove them out, I wonder what he said to his adoptive father?
How could they just casually brush off his crime of confiscating his property and exiling him?
Suddenly, an angry voice beside Xiao Chen interrupted his thoughts.
Crown Prince Xiao Ming's eyes were red, and he rushed towards Qianyuan Palace:
"Why?"
"I want to see my father!"
"Eunuch Huang, I want to see my father and ask him for clarification."
However, just as he took a step forward, he was stopped by the eunuch named Huang in front of Xiao Chen.
"Wait a minute!"
"Your Highness, His Majesty is discussing an important matter with Master Situ."
"Your Majesty has ordered that we not see anyone!"
"Your Highness, please go back!"
"This old servant advises His Highness that His Majesty is very angry at the moment. It would be best if Your Highness does not offend His Majesty!"
As he spoke, Eunuch Huang's "please" instantly extinguished Prince Xiao Ming's anger, leaving him stunned on the spot.
"Good! Very good!"
"very good!"
"Ninth brother, you did a great job!"
"Let's wait and see!"
The prince's red eyes clearly threatened Xiao Chen, making him even more confused.
The prince is... transferring all his anger onto himself.
Afterwards, Xiao Chen watched the prince wave his sleeves and quickly leave the door of Qianyuan Hall.
Xiao Chen was speechless.
At this time,
King Jing stood up, took out his fat hand and patted his shoulder heavily, squinting his eyes and smiling:
"Ninth brother, don't bear a grudge against second brother!"
"Eunuch Huang, I am leaving now!"
After him, King Yu also stood up and said hesitantly:
"Ninth brother, please don't be offended."
Obviously he was also very confused about the development of this matter.
After a while,
In front of the Qianyuan Palace, the only two people left were Huang Jin, his father Emperor Xiao Ting's close companion, and Xiao Chen, who was full of questions.
Xiao Chen looked at Huang Jin, this familiar yet unfamiliar person, and was about to ask:
"Eunuch Huang..."
Then he heard Huang Jin glance at him sideways, as if he knew what he wanted to ask.
He interrupted in a shrill voice:
"Ninth Prince, please?"
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. The imperial city has long been closed. I will take you home."
"As for what you want to know, I'll tell you on the way home."
......
At this moment, in front of Qianyuan Palace
Watching Xiao Chen and Huang Jin leaving, two figures appeared in front of Qianyuan Hall.
Under the dim candlelight, Situ Wuming's body in a white robe was just visible.
Emperor Ming Jing's eyes were deep. He looked at Situ Wuming, who was wearing a black and white robe, and asked:
"It's all because of a prophecy from an old man named Tianji."
"You want me to spare his life?"
The white Situ Wuming bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, of course not!"
"Even if I didn't take action today, the Ninth Prince would have already escaped from this desperate situation by himself!"
Listening to Situ Wuming's words, he recalled Xiao Chen's performance when he was making remarks in the court.
Emperor Ming Jing's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said in horror:
"You mean, Xiaojiu... is hiding his abilities?"
Situ Wuming laughed and said, "Because of a mere crude false accusation, a prince was deposed."
"I think this is not possible."
"Why not, I'll give you a push."
Emperor Ming Jing snorted coldly and said:
"I don't believe it. I don't believe that this is all you can do, old man."
"Although I don't believe Xiaojiu would dare to attack the Empress's sister-in-law, do you know how serious this matter is?"
"Tomorrow, when this imperial decree is issued, how will I explain it to the people of the world?"
"How can I, then, explain myself to all the nobles in the imperial court?"
"How can I explain this to Shangguan Yi?"
Emperor Ming Jing became more and more excited as he spoke. Although Situ Wuming was his confidant, when he looked at Situ Wuming in his white robe, Emperor Ming Jing actually slowly reached out his hand and touched behind him.
Situ Wuming's pupils shrank slightly. Seeing this, he retreated repeatedly, and with a little panic, he repeatedly comforted Emperor Ming Jing:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. That old man Shangguan Yi is just waiting for this to happen!"
"Within three days, he will come to Your Majesty to cancel the engagement."
"As for the others, Your Majesty, don't worry. He will naturally take care of it for Your Majesty."
However, before he could finish his words, he saw Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty pull out a black bamboo sword.
Situ Wuming's arms trembled as he continued hurriedly:
