The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Prince of Jin Xiao Sheng was finally brought into the imperial study. He took each step with a gloomy look and felt completely hopeless.

The defeat of the Imperial Grandmother meant that he was also defeated. But he did nothing… wuwuwuwu…

It’s very unfair.

Xiao Sheng knelt heavily in front of Emperor Mingde, crying so hard that his tears and snot were streaming down his face. "Father, I am innocent... I was used by my grandmother. I don't want to participate in the power grab... I never had that ambition! Father, you know me best. I am stupid, and I have never had any evil intentions..."

The imperial study was filled with the faint scent of ink and ambergris. Emperor Mingde slowly raised his head from the pile of memorials, staring at Xiao Sheng with a sharp gaze.

He just watched his stupid son crying quietly, thinking about how this guy had allowed treacherous officials to ruin his country and cheat the people in his previous life; how he had indulged in pleasure and plotted against Cen Yuan all day long.

No wonder Cen Yuan said, "I am the Weibei General who is often deprived of his military power and driven to the border. When there is a war, I am the Weibei General! When there is no war, your stupid son is thinking about killing me all day long."

Before he could dream, Emperor Mingde just blushed when he heard it. After he could dream, every time he thought of it, he wanted to kick his stupid son to death.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. He picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at him, "You bastard!"

Xiao Sheng was hurt by the inkstone. He touched his head and saw blood on his hand. He cried out "Ouch" and stopped crying abruptly.

He was stunned!

Blood! He was bleeding!

He knelt on the ground with his head covered, letting the blood flow through his fingers and stain his clothes.

"How could the royal family produce such a useless thing like you!" Every word of Emperor Mingde seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

When Xiao Sheng heard this, his face turned pale and blue.

Facing his father's fury, he did not dare to refute a word, but only covered his head and cried again, "Father, spare me! I have never participated in the rebellion of the Royal Grandmother from beginning to end. I... am wronged..."

But the angrier my father is, the more it means he won't really let him die.

He silently prayed in his heart, "May God bless you and Buddha have mercy on you."

The candle flame flickered, and the candlelight illuminated Emperor Mingde's face, making it look majestic and profound. He said coldly, "If I let you go, I will be sorry to all the people!"

Xiao Sheng was stunned, and then he remembered that Shi Anrou said that he brought disaster to the country and the people in his previous life. He couldn't help but shudder, "Did Shi Anxia tell you something? Father, you must not take it seriously. How can you take those things that are only in the book seriously?"

He said he didn’t take it seriously, but he did, and cried very sadly, “Shi Anxia was clearly my queen in my previous life, but she doesn’t want me in this life. She even teamed up with other men to harm me… It was she who caused me to make father angry at the Lantern Festival. It was she who harmed me… Wuuuuuu… She doesn’t want me anymore…”

Emperor Mingde only used five words to stop Xiao Sheng's incoherent speech and ugly crying, "I don't want it either!"

So deafening!

So heartbreaking!

Xiao Sheng, "..."

It's so heartbreaking that I want to cry but have no tears. It hurts my self-esteem so much.

Emperor Mingde looked at his stupid son's dejected look, but he remembered what he said before he died, "Xia'er, in the next life, I will still be your wife."

Shi Anxia replied calmly and resolutely, "In my next life, I will never marry you again."

When his son died, his eyes were fixed on Shi Anxia, ​​and he died with his eyes open.

Emperor Mingde could understand Shi Anxia's disdain for his son very well. In fact, he himself also disliked him very much now.

He said solemnly, "In the next life, don't come to me again! I don't want to be your father."

Prince Jin saw a flash of murderous intent in his father's eyes and was very flustered. "Father, I know I was wrong. Can I go back to my fiefdom now? Father, please don't kill me... Father, don't listen to Shi Anxia's nonsense. It's too late for me to do anything now. My crime does not deserve the death penalty... Father..."

Yes, the crime was not punishable by death. Emperor Mingde knew very well that he could not use his actions in his previous life as a reason to kill him.

As Xiao Sheng's father, he was willing to give him a chance to live. But isn't someone else's life also a life?

Emperor Mingde frowned and said, "Today, I will let you die knowing full well." He ordered Eunuch Qi to summon the three Gao brothers to the palace to meet him late at night.

At first, Xiao Sheng didn't realize what relationship he had with the three Gao brothers. When he saw them entering the imperial study, he was shocked.

This, this, this, aren’t these three the ones he killed?

"Your subject Gao Jiadong pays homage to the Emperor!"

"Your subject Gao Jiayu pays homage to the Emperor!"

"Your subject Gao Jiarui pays homage to the Emperor!"

Emperor Mingde looked at the sons of Minister of Works Gao Pinyuan, and found that they all had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and were full of energy and spirit.

Then look at your own son, his eyes are covered with tears and snot, he is kneeling in an awkward position, his back is hunched and his face is droopy.

It's true that comparing yourself to others will only make you angry!

Emperor Mingde could only think about the appearance of Crown Prince Xiao Zhi in his heart, and then he calmed down a little, "Xiao Sheng, do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Sheng pointed at these people in a daze, "He, they... aren't they already dead?"

In fact, no matter how stupid he was, he understood it now.

The people around him were his father's men. If they were not his father's men, they were the princess's husband's men.

The eight secret guards around the Empress Dowager are all their people, so it’s not surprising to have a few more around him.

So these three people accidentally discovered that Prince Jin had sneaked back to the capital from his fiefdom and were caught by Prince Jin's men.

The King of Jin ordered the three men to be killed to avoid any future trouble.

As a result, these three people were secretly arranged into Hong Yang's team. When attacking the imperial city, they unexpectedly killed Hong Yang and made great contributions.

The three of them showed up in a hurry and went back home, but Prince Jin knew that his father knew even such a small matter, so the bad things he had done in the past would not escape his father's eyes.

Xiao Sheng cried again, kneeling on the ground, "Father, you are wise, luckily these people are not dead! If they are not dead, it doesn't count as murder, right? Wuuwuwu... Thank you for your grace, father, I will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future!"

Looking at his son's dazed and incoherent appearance, Emperor Mingde closed his eyes deeply.

When he opened his eyes again, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Youen, call the imperial physician."

In a flash, the imperial physician came and bandaged Xiao Sheng's wound.

Xiao Sheng carefully glanced at Emperor Mingde, and when he found that he was also looking at him, he quickly looked away.

But what I was thinking in my heart was, since I let the imperial physician treat my injuries, I guess this means I want to spare his life, right?

Then Emperor Mingde ordered, "Youen, take him to change his clothes first, so that he can dress decently."

Eunuch Qi agreed and took Xiao Sheng away.

Xiao Sheng exhaled and asked quietly, "Eunuch Qi, has the emperor spared me?"

Eunuch Qi didn't have the heart to answer and just responded casually.

Finally, Xiao Sheng dressed neatly and appeared in the imperial study again, and he saw that Emperor Mingde's eyes were red...
