Chapter 300 Wei Si, if you dare to kill me, you and your daughter will die
Two days later.
Xie Xuchi came to Mingzhu Palace for a banquet, but when he entered the palace, he did not see any other guests.
He looked at the empty hall and called out hesitantly, "Madam Wei?"
There were footsteps behind me.
Xie Xuchi looked back and saw that the person coming was Xie Guanlan.
He said, "Is Master Xie also here for the banquet? You and I are here early, and the other guests haven't arrived yet."
Xie Guanlan remained noncommittal.
He received an invitation from Mrs. Wei, inviting him to a banquet.
However, the handwriting on the invitation was a little sloppy, which was not like Mrs. Wei's style. Therefore, he speculated that Wei Si had no choice but to write this invitation.
Perhaps this banquet was the Hongmen Banquet that Xie Zhe forced Wei Si to hold, and Xie Zhe wanted to take the opportunity to kill him - if he were Xie Zhe, he would also find a way to kill such a person who would threaten his kingdom.
But he still came.
Because the only person Xie Zhe could use to threaten Wei Si was Ningning.
Now seeing Xie Xuchi, Xie Guanlan suddenly understood what Wei Si meant——
This banquet was indeed a Hongmen Banquet, but she secretly arranged a hostage for him - the crown prince, Xie Xuchi.
Xie Xuchi clearly didn't understand Wei Si's intentions and was looking around. "Although I arrived half an hour early, there shouldn't be anyone here. Even if the guests haven't arrived yet, the wine and banquet should be ready. Could it be that the palace servants are being lazy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound suddenly came from behind the curtain.
The next moment, countless secret guards rushed out and attacked Xie Guanlan.
Before they got close, Xie Guanlan directly locked Xie Xuchi's throat.
He said, "Get out of the way."
The secret guards looked at each other.
They are the emperor's men and have received orders to eliminate Xie Guanlan in Mingzhu Palace.
But the order didn’t say that the Crown Prince is also here!
After hesitating for a while, they had to slowly make way.
Xie Guanlan pinched Xie Xuchi's neck and walked out of the hall slowly.
Outside the palace were hundreds of guards arranged by Xie Zhe.
They drew their bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows were all pointed at the people coming out of the hall. However, when they saw that Xie Guanlan was blocking Xie Xuchi in front of him, they were all stunned and subconsciously looked towards the Qionglou next to them.
On top of the jade tower, Xie Zhe stood leaning on the railing, with Wei Si beside him.
Seeing Xie Xuchi, Xie Zhe narrowed his eyes and asked impatiently, "Why are you here?!"
Xie Xuchi's face turned pale and he just stared at Wei Si in a daze.
He came to attend a banquet and he thought today's banquet would be very interesting.
He thought that Mrs. Wei was really kind to him.
He even took a bath and changed his clothes, putting on a brand new brocade robe and hair crown.
The young man's eyes were filled with loss and sadness. He opened his mouth to say something to Wei Si, but because his throat was sore, he couldn't say a word.
Wei Si drooped her eyelashes.
She didn't want to hurt Xie Xuchi.
However, his father hurt Ningning.
There are differences in closeness. Compared to Xie Xuchi, her Ningning is of course more important.
Xie Guanlan looked at Xie Xuchi with amusement, then at Xie Zhe. "Perhaps the Crown Prince's life is much more important than mine. If Your Majesty doesn't want to lose this son, tell these people to move aside and prepare a horse for me."
As he spoke, the fingers pinching Xie Xuchi's throat tightened even more.
Xie Xuchi uttered a painful groan, then looked at Xie Zhe expectantly and said in a hoarse voice, "Father!"
Empress Mei and Concubine Zhang got the news from somewhere and hurried over.
When the two saw this scene, they panicked.
Concubine Zhang immediately knelt before Xie Zhe and cried, "I have lost Rui'er, and I only have one son left, the Crown Prince! Your Majesty, please save the Crown Prince and don't let anything happen to him! If the Crown Prince is gone, what will Xiang'er and I have to rely on in the future?!"
Empress Mei also bowed, "The Crown Prince's life concerns the country and the people. Your Majesty, please be cautious."
Wei Si looked at Xie Zhe's profile.
She calculated the time and invited these two people over privately.
The mother and son have a deep affection for each other. With their personal plea, Xie Zhe will probably value Xie Xuchi more and let Xie Guanlan leave.
However, Xie Zhe's face was gloomy, his soft drooping eyelids cast a shadow in his pupils, and the corners of his thin mouth were strangely raised, making her unable to figure out what he was thinking.
A moment later, Xie Zhe suddenly issued an order: "Xie Guanlan intends to rebel, kill him immediately!"
The whole audience was silent.
The guards looked at each other, hesitating and not shooting.
They thought they had heard wrongly.
After all, the one standing in front of Xie Guanlan was the Crown Prince!
He is the emperor’s own flesh and blood!
He is the heir cultivated by the emperor for many years!
Even a venomous tiger can still show mercy to its children, but now, His Majesty has completely disregarded the Crown Prince's life and death and simply ordered them to kill Xie Guanlan immediately...
The color drained from Xie Xuchi's face.
He stared at Xie Zhe, trying to find any sadness on his face, but there was none.
His father was high above, his shoulders as fiery as the sun, his dark black dragon robe woven with gold fluttering in the spring breeze, and his expression was so cold and majestic!
as if……
It was as if he was just a chess piece that could be discarded at will.
Xie Xuchi slowly lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about, and said in a low voice, "I should have known it earlier..."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Concubine Zhang screamed, crying uncontrollably.
She looked up at Xie Zhe pitifully, "Chi'er is the flesh and blood of my womb, your own flesh and blood. How could you sacrifice him like this?! Your Majesty, please save Chi'er, please save him!"
Empress Mei was a very calm person and always prided herself on being cold and ruthless, but at this moment, she was also shocked by Xie Zhe's indifference.
What else does a man who doesn't care about his own flesh and blood care about?
An expression of disbelief also appeared on Wei Si's cold and beautiful face.
She stared at Xie Zhe closely and suddenly felt that she had never truly understood him.
He had a miserable childhood, his mother died early and his father did not love him.
So, he longed for love all his life.
So he hoped that all mothers in the world would love their children, but why, when it came to his turn, he was so reluctant to give his children even a little fatherly love?
Seeing everyone's different expressions, Xie Zhe became more and more impatient.
Today is the best opportunity to kill Xie Guanlan. If we miss it, if we let the tiger go back to the mountains in the future, his kingdom will never have peace!
What is Xie Xuchi? If he could gain immortality, he would have countless sons in the future!
He said sternly, "I order you to kill Xie Guanlan immediately, and you are still waiting—"
Before he could finish his words, a cold hairpin was pressed tightly against his neck.
Wei Si said coldly, "Withdraw the troops and let Xie Guanlan go."
The tip of the hairpin was sharp and pierced Xie Zhe's flesh.
A drop of bright red blood rolled down the man's neck, staining the dragon robe.
Xie Zhe slowly rolled his eyes, "Wei Si."
"Let Xie Guanlan go."
Xie Zhe suddenly laughed softly, "You are so brave. Wei Si, if you dare to kill me, you and your daughter will die."
Wei Si's face was expressionless. "Your Majesty, do you want to give it a try? I'd like to exchange Ningning's and my life for yours. Do you want to give it a try?"
Xie Zhe's face darkened.
Compared to Wei Si and Wei Ning, of course his own life is more important.
