Chapter 498: Unworthy (Part 1)
Xiao Chenglin looked up in shock, and then, as if he understood something, he slowly turned his neck to look at Xiao Chengxuan who was kneeling in the field.
At this time, the two men were kneeling together, and Emperor Mu Wu asked such a question again. What this implied was self-evident.
Huang Kun had wounds on his face and body, and his clothes were stained with blood, but he seemed to still have a little bit of clarity of mind.
He shuddered, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a weak voice: "I, I know nothing! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Emperor Mu Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm just asking you one question. Why are you so scared?!"
Huang Kun's body trembled even more violently, and he stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.
Emperor Mu Wu had no patience and asked in a deep voice:
"Someone reported that you were instructed to attack Prince Jing and startled his horse, causing him to fall off his horse and break his leg. Do you admit it or not?!"
Huang Kun froze suddenly, and raised his head in panic: "Unjust! I am innocent! This, this... When His Royal Highness Prince Jing was in trouble, I was unable to save him, how could he do such a hateful thing? This is a false accusation! False accusation!"
"False accusation?" Emperor Mu Wu sneered, "Then tell me, what is the intention of the person who falsely accused you?"
Huang Kun suddenly fell silent.
He is just a powerless eunuch, how could it be worth it for the other party to spend so much money to report him!
Huang Kun subconsciously looked towards the front left.
Xiao Chengxuan almost got an electric shock and shouted angrily: "You little dog slave! What are you looking at!?"
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at him at this moment. If they saw him, they would definitely drag him into the water! ?
Huang Kun was startled and quickly lowered his head.
But it was too late.
Emperor Mu Wu's face was as gloomy as water.
"He is your man, who else would you look at?"
Xiao Chengxuan panicked: "Father?"
Concubine Ru was also anxious: "Your Majesty! This Huang Kun has nothing to do with Cheng Xuan! This is someone deliberately setting up a trap! To put him to death! He——"
"I didn't ask you!"
Emperor Mu Wu shouted angrily, and Concubine Ru's face immediately turned pale and she couldn't utter another word.
She covered her chest and tears fell silently.
Both shocked and scared.
She had been favored by the emperor for so many years, but Emperor Mu Wu had never spoken to her in such a tone.
Even when Xiao Chengxuan was demoted to a commoner, he did not implicate her and always took her face into consideration.
But now——
As the imperial concubine did not know, although Emperor Mu Wu was very tolerant of her, he was still an emperor after all.
Fratricide and treason are the minefields that he cannot touch.
But now Xiao Chengxuan can no longer clear himself of these suspicions. How can Emperor Mu Wu tolerate this?
On the surface, it seemed that Emperor Mu Wu was interrogating him personally, but in fact, he already had the answer in his mind.
Huang Kun's various behaviors after being brought up have already said too much.
There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone was silent.
Xiao Chenglin seemed to have finally come to his senses, but he was still in disbelief.
"Father, could there be some misunderstanding here? Second Emperor - Second Brother has always been kind and gentle to me, how could he do such a thing?"
He opened his mouth, looking at a loss.
"When Xiao Kunzi followed me, I hadn't even been crowned king yet, and he protected me many times..."
Emperor Mu Wu became even angrier and pointed at Xiao Chengxuan.
"How could you be so deep-minded and vicious! I really wish I had never given birth to a son like you! You are not worthy of being my son!"
