Chapter 315: Throwing the Wen Brothers and Sisters into Jail
"I'm going out to see my little sister."
Wen Yueyin lifted her skirt modestly, but just as she took a few steps forward, a large group of guards suddenly blocked the entrance to the hall like a tide.
She was stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Several dark shadows appeared silently behind the Wen brothers and sisters. Before Wen Rulei could even react, he was kicked in the knee and fell heavily to the ground!
In an instant, the situation in the hall was reversed.
Xie Zhe twisted the Buddha bone slowly and unhurriedly, "Rufeng, you disappoint me greatly."
Wen Rufeng swallowed and took two steps back in horror.
These guards... where did they come from?!
Could it be that their perfect plan failed?!
Thinking of how he had just called Xie Zhe "Lao Deng", his face turned pale, his legs became weak, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Wen Rulei was pinned to the ground, his face trembling as he shouted in fear, "Brother!"
Wen Rufeng was too busy to take care of himself. He just looked at Wen Yueyin and asked in a trembling voice, "Yueyin, what on earth is going on?"
Wen Yueyin was also stunned.
After a while, she looked at Wen Ruyun for help, "Second brother, didn't you say we would definitely succeed? Now that we've failed to force the emperor to abdicate, you must think of a solution! I'm still so young, I can't die!"
Wen Ruyun was also very scared.
His throat was dry and he could hardly hold the folding fan in his hand.
He said in panic: "Wen Xingluo, why don't you help us quickly?!"
After saying that, he suddenly remembered that Wen Xingluo was not here.
Wen Yueyin and Wen Rulei urged in unison, "Second brother, why did you call Wen Xingluo? Think of a solution quickly!"
Wen Ruyun's eyes were red, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "I don't know what to do! It's all Wen Xingluo's fault. If she had been willing to help, maybe things wouldn't have gotten to this point!"
Seeing that he was at his wit's end, Wen Rufeng suddenly knelt on the ground, crawled to Xie Zhe on his knees crying, and humbly grabbed the hem of his robe.
He cried, "I didn't intend to rebel, but my brothers and sisters forced me to do it! I beg you, father, to consider my filial piety and not to remove me from my position!"
Wen Yueyin and the others were stunned and couldn't help but shout, "Brother!"
"Who is your eldest brother?" Wen Rufeng shouted, "I don't have brothers or sisters like you! From now on, we draw a clear line and have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
"Big brother?!" Wen Ruyun, after a moment of shock, reacted the fastest, falling to his knees and saying, "Your Majesty, please understand. It's because Big Brother wants to be emperor that we're standing up for him, out of consideration for our brotherly love! Also, I want to accuse Wen Rulei of poisoning you! That cup of poisoned tea next to you was Wen Rulei's doing!"
"Second brother?!" Wen Rulei couldn't believe it and quickly turned to Xie Zhe, "Your Majesty, the idea of poisoning you was thought up by my sister Wen Yueyin. Even my assassination attempt on you was under her orders!"
"Third brother?!" Wen Yueyin's eyes widened suddenly, and she knelt on the ground, clutching her chest with her hands, looking very weak. "Your Majesty, I have been delicate and frail since childhood, always worried and sickly. I wouldn't even step on an ant, so how could I have come up with such a treacherous scheme to harm you?! It's all my eldest brother's fault. He clearly has no ability, yet he insisted on imitating others to become emperor. We tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen. I apologize to you on my eldest brother's behalf."
"Wen Yueyin! Stop slandering me!"
"Brother, aren't you slandering me?!"
"You're all slandering me, and I'm the only honest person you're taking advantage of!"
"I've given up the splendor and wealth of the Zhenbei Palace to follow a bunch of useless idiots like you. What bad luck!"
"You're not much better. You just sit back and reap the benefits. You're not even a hair's breadth better than Wen Xingluo!"
“…”
The four people started arguing and then started punching and kicking each other.
The guards struggled to pull them apart, and the four of them were disheveled and in a very miserable state.
Wen Ruyun gasped for air and shouted, "Your Majesty, all of this was actually ordered by Wen Xingluo! She forced us to rebel!"
"Yes!" Wen Yueyin cried, "Your Majesty, I want to report Wen Xingluo for secretly embroidering the dragon robe! She said that as soon as you die, she will immediately put the dragon robe on my brother and make him emperor!"
Wen Rulei burst into tears, "We tried to persuade her, but she refused to listen!"
Wen Rufeng bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, please help us and punish Wen Xingluo!"
Xie Zheqi laughed.
He waved his hand and said, "Bring her here."
"His Majesty."
A soft and gentle voice suddenly came.
The imperial guards made way for her, and Wei Si, with her cloud-like hair and graceful palace dress, came into view.
Wen Xingluo held her arm. The girl had her hair in a bun, and wore a light pink top with a cyan-gold palace skirt. Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and she looked particularly well-behaved, sweet, and innocent amidst the weapons and armor.
Wei Si looked around, looking puzzled, "Why is Your Majesty attacking these children?"
Xie Zhe glanced at Wen Xingluo and said nothing.
Sun Zuosi briefly explained the reason and then looked at Wen Xingluo with a smile, "According to the Wen family's brothers and sisters, it is said that Princess An Ning was also involved in this rebellion."
Wen Xingluo tilted his head, his round almond-shaped eyes sparkling. "My brother and sister and I have never gotten along. Why would I join in their rebellion?"
"You're lying!" Wen Yueyin, dusty and grimy, wiped the tears from her face and accused him, "It was you who led us to hate His Majesty, and it was you who instigated us to rebel! Just a quarter of an hour ago, you were still holding that yellow robe, waiting to give it to my eldest brother!"
"What yellow robe?" Wen Xingluo said innocently, "I haven't seen it at all. I was just accompanying my mother to appreciate the flowers. I haven't even seen my brother and sister today."
Wen Yueyin gritted her teeth, "You...how can you not admit it?!"
As they were facing each other, a guard came in holding a yellow robe. "Your Majesty, I found this yellow robe in Miss Wen Yueyin's bedroom!"
He unfolded it in public.
The eight big words "Kill Xie Zhe and restore the Wei Dynasty" suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
Wen Yueyin's face turned pale, and she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly. "It must have been Wen Xingluo who put it in my bedroom! I... I had no idea!"
"Also," the guard turned sideways, signaling the people behind him to bring the things in, "I and others also found these things under Miss Wen Yueyin's bed."
They opened the cage.
The boxes were neatly stacked with history books of the Wei Dynasty, as well as several sets of scrolls on the theme of rebellion.
Xie Zhe picked up the roll of paper.
The topics on the papers were extremely straightforward, such as "Ten things that must be done after the restoration of the country", "Please discuss ten methods of assassinating Xie Zhe", etc.
He flipped through it briefly and saw that the papers with the names of the three Wen Yueyin siblings all received full marks.
He chuckled softly and threw the paper roll in the faces of Wen Yueyin and the others, "What else do you have to say?!"
Wen Yueyin and the others held the scroll in their hands, their faces pale as gold paper, and they were almost frightened to death.
Hearing the falling stars, he chuckled.
Wen Yueyin was living in her former bedroom, and the box of history books of the Great Wei was actually hers.
But who can blame Wen Yueyin for being so stupid? He insisted on taking the toilet paper roll back to keep as a souvenir.
Without waiting for the Wen siblings to beg for mercy, Xie Zhe had completely lost his patience and said, "Throw all five Wen siblings into jail and await trial!"
Wen Xingluo was stunned, "I want to go too?"
