Chapter 351 The late emperor was killed by someone
Xiao Rongxuan paused as he was about to pick up the teacup in front of him, then looked up at the courtier who was speaking.
"I'm just a fifth-rank official. When will it be your turn to interrupt here?"
"The low-ranking official is not talented. It is true that he is only a fifth-rank official. However, the low-ranking official obeys the law and has never harmed anyone."
"Presumptuous, you..."
"Third Prince." Liu Changhan interrupted Xiao Rongxuan, "Wei Chen still calls you "Third Prince" now, not because you are still aloof, but because today is the emperor's birthday, and Wei Chen does not want to spoil the emperor's happiness. But he also hopes that San If the prince can restrain himself, no matter how high or low the courtiers present today are, at least they are not guilty."
Xiao Rongxuan frowned and looked at Liu Changhan. He understood the other party's hostility towards him, but...
"Prime Minister Liu, some things are not what you think, just like Mr. Ling..."
"Your Majesty is here, your concubine is here." The eunuch's voice interrupted Xiao Rongxuan's words.
The latter frowned, swallowed the unfinished words, and followed the others to stand up and salute.
"Everyone, please get up." Emperor Xiao sat on the main seat and raised his hands towards everyone, "Although today is my birthday banquet, it can also be regarded as a family banquet, so there is no need to be so restrained."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty." Everyone thanked and stood up.
Concubine Xue was sitting next to Emperor Xiao. The scars on her face were still clearly visible, even without any cover. However, after what happened in the past two days, no one here doubted that the imperial concubine would lose her favor because of the scar on her face.
"Your Majesty, today is your birthday. You must drink a few more glasses happily." The imperial concubine raised the wine glass in her hand and smiled at Emperor Xiao.
The latter's eyes were full of smiles and he immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him, "Okay, Zhi'er, I'm really happy to have you by my side on my birthday this year."
After finishing the glass of wine, Emperor Xiao glanced at Concubine Xue several times before looking away.
"I wish my father good health and long life." Xiao Jinzhi picked up the wine glass and stood up first.
Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Jinzhi. Although there was a smile on his face, there was a hint of coldness.
"The prince is so filial, I will naturally be in good health and live forever."
Some familiar courtiers glanced at each other and winked secretly.
It seems that the relationship between the Emperor and His Royal Highness is about to completely collapse. From the Emperor's tone, there is no trace of a relationship between father and son.
When Xiao Jinzhi sat down, Xiao Rongxuan stood up before the other courtiers could get up to toast and say some words of congratulations.
"Father, I also want to toast my father."
The courtiers looked at each other again, with colorful expressions on their faces.
Let a prince who made such a big mistake come to the birthday banquet and even come to toast. If this matter spreads out, I really don’t know how the people will talk about it, but...
Looking at Emperor Xiao sitting in a high position, the courtiers did not say much even if they were dissatisfied. After all, this is the emperor's wish, and he has come.
"Okay, I'll drink this glass of wine. But Xuan'er, you made a big mistake in a moment of ignorance before, and this matter cannot be easily exposed." Emperor Xiao's tone was full of knocks, "After this birthday banquet, you If you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished.”
"Yes, thank you very much for your father's magnanimity and your willingness to give me a chance to attend the birthday banquet. I already know my mistake in my heart, so today at this birthday banquet, I want to make up for my mistakes and report something to my father. "Xiao Rongxuan lowered his head and spoke respectfully.
When the courtiers heard this, they all had doubts in their hearts.
What does the third prince want to report? Could it be that he had done something wrong and wanted to use this opportunity to reveal it and confess on the spot?
Emperor Xiao's eyes dimmed, and his eyes swept over Xiao Jinzhi without trace.
The latter just sat on the seat with a wine glass and drank, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Xuan'er, today is my birthday banquet. If you have anything to say to disappoint me, then..."
"It is precisely because today is Emperor Father's birthday banquet and so many courtiers are here that I want to explain this matter today." Xiao Rongxuan took a deep breath and looked up at Emperor Xiao, "I hope Father can listen. My son, please finish your words."
Emperor Xiao had an unclear expression on his face, his eyes staring closely at Xiao Rongxuan.
It wasn't until all eyes were focused on Emperor Xiao's face that he finally spoke.
"What do you want to say?"
"Father, I accidentally learned about an old incident some time ago. I was very shocked, so I want to report this to my father and all the courtiers present."
"Third Prince, I wonder what old story you are talking about?" Some courtiers couldn't help but asked curiously.
Xiao Rongxuan looked at Xiao Jinzhi out of the corner of his eye and spoke after a moment of silence.
"This prince accidentally learned that the late emperor did not die of illness, but was killed by someone."
As soon as he said this, the entire banquet was quiet for a moment. After everyone came to their senses, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"What? The late emperor was killed?"
"Third Prince, this is not nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"
"That's right. This matter is not trivial. If there is no evidence, you must not talk nonsense, otherwise it will only add to the crime."
Some impatient courtiers were already talking about it.
Of course, some of them remained silent on the surface, but there was also an uproar in their hearts.
The representative among these people is Prime Minister Liu.
He clenched the wine glass in his hand. He looked calm on his face, but he was extremely surprised in his heart. Then, he thought of Emperor Xiao's weird behavior back then. He took a few deep breaths before trying hard. He restrained his desire to look at Emperor Xiao.
Could it be that the death of the late emperor was actually because of the emperor...
"Shut up, everyone!" Emperor Xiao said to stop the chattering courtiers. His majestic aura suppressed many people and quickly silenced them. The entire banquet place became quiet again.
"Xuan'er, do you know what you are talking about." Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Rongxuan coldly, "The death of the emperor brother does not allow you to talk nonsense here."
"Father, I'm not talking nonsense." Xiao Rongxuan cupped his hands, "I was surprised when I first got the news. I wanted to report it to my father, but then I discovered...according to the investigation... Look, my father is the murderer of the late emperor."
The entire banquet place suddenly fell silent.
It was like a silent deserted house in the middle of the night, as if even the sound of human breathing could no longer be heard.
All the courtiers looked at Xiao Rongxuan in horror, surprise, or confusion.
Some people even secretly felt in their hearts that the third prince must have gone crazy, or that he felt that he could not escape death and had completely risked his life, so he dared to say such words in public.
Everyone did not dare to express their anger, nor did they dare to look around. They just waited silently for Emperor Xiao to speak.
"Xuan'er, do you know what you are talking about? My brother and I have a deep brotherhood, and you actually slandered me for killing him?" Emperor Xiao's tone was cold and disappointed, "Don't you hate me when you were imprisoned? Is that why you slander me like this?"
"Father." Xiao Rongxuan bowed his hands to Emperor Xiao again, "My son has never held any grudge against my father. This matter was indeed discovered by me personally. It was only later that I discovered..."
A smile flashed across Xiao Rongxuan's lips. This time he did not use his peripheral vision, but looked straight at Xiao Jinzhi.
"Someone deliberately led my son to find out, or in other words, someone wanted to use my son to slander my father!"
