Duke Ningguo didn't even give Xie Junyao a chance to speak, his mouth was as if it was opened.

From today's court to Emperor Xuanwen's personal expedition many years ago, and from Xie Yuanfeng's expedition to the Southern Liang to the death of the previous emperor...

Xie Junyao only felt his ears buzzing and a dull pain in his temples.

It’s not that he is stupid, but he really doesn’t understand what Ningguo Duke said has to do with today.

Emperor Xuanwen felt very happy when he saw his son being at a loss as to what to do after being told by Duke Ningguo.

You deserve it. I let you talk too much and make you stupid.

After speaking for an unknown amount of time, Duke Ningguo paused for a moment, staring at Xie Junyao without blinking.

“Your Highness Prince Duan, the prosperity and strength of Dali today is due to the efforts of the previous emperor, and your majesty’s bravery is due to the unity of the monarch and his subjects.

The Dali Dynasty had been established for less than a hundred years, and the surrounding small countries were eyeing it covetously. The flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River had not yet been completely eliminated, and the bandits in southern Anhui had not yet been eliminated.

We still need to continue to work hard.

You are the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager, a prince of the highest rank, but you do not think about how to assist His Majesty, and do not think about benefiting the country and the people.

You are just engaging in some romantic conspiracy here. It is not only a disgrace to the civilized world, but also a disgrace to our ancestors!"

Xie Junyao was completely stunned, because he finally understood that Duke Ningguo was scolding him.

But he couldn't curse back, because he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, Duke Ningguo would talk back to him and he would have to listen to a few more incense sticks of silence.

He couldn't scold him or ask the eunuch to come in and drag Duke Ningguo out and beat him with a stick.

Not to mention that Xie Yuanfeng was watching from the side, even Emperor Xuanwen would not allow it.

If you beat or scolded Duke Ningguo, you must have a perfect reason, otherwise you would stir up a hornet's nest among the scholars and candidates in the world...

Xie Junyao gritted his teeth, endured it, and smiled: "Thank you, Duke Ningguo, I have learned a lot."

Xie Yuanfeng raised her eyebrows. The Seventh Prince was much better than the Queen. She was able to endure and retreat. Even when Duke Ningguo lectured her in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, she not only did not get angry, but also bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.

He is a great man, but such a person must never be allowed to ascend to the throne.

The Queen was a vindictive fool. If Xie Junyao became the emperor, even if she was the eldest princess who had served three dynasties, she would not be able to protect the lineage of Duke Ningguo.

She crushed a piece of lily cake in her hand, and Mo Ruochen's eyes flashed, as if thinking about something.

Xiao Yunxi was also shocked by Xie Junyao's reaction. When Xie Junyao was a child, he counted tigers and was fierce and domineering.

Now, he seems to be courteous to others, but who knows how vicious he is in his heart.

Xiao Yunxi shook her head gently. Based on her mother's temper, Xie Junyao would definitely be useless.

Emperor Xuanwen was playing with the jade ring in his hand without even looking at Xie Junyao.

Now I have made myself so polite that even after being criticized, I can still smile at Duke Ningguo...

This old man is a bit thoughtful.

Xie Junyao had no idea that he had been targeted by Emperor Xuanwen and Xie Yuanfeng.

Now his mind was filled with regret.

It’s not that I regret what I did, but I regret that I acted too hastily.

He looked at Marquis Wu'an who had fainted from the pain at his feet, and then at Censor Lai who was kneeling beside him.

I knew that these two people could not be saved.

But before he could say anything, the voice of Emperor Xuanwen came from above his head.

"Prince Dingyuan, wake up Marquis Wu'an."

Xie Junyao was shocked. Father, what is this...

There are so many ways to wake up Marquis Wu'an. If all else fails, just let the eunuch pour a bucket of cold water on him. Letting Mo Ruochen do this is basically to torture Marquis Wu'an.

As expected, Mo Ruochen stepped forward and stepped on Wu'an Hou's left leg with a "crack".

The next moment, the sound of ghosts and wolves howling like Wu'an Marquis could be heard in the Golden Palace.

Marquis Wu'an rolled on the ground, holding his left leg.

The other ministers all shuddered.

"Marquis Wu'an, answer honestly when you wake up, and don't howl again later."

Emperor Xuanwen's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter.

However, Xie Junyao knew that the Wu'an Marquis's family could definitely not be saved.

Marquis Wu'an grimaced in pain, sweat dripping from his face, and even his court robes were soaked.

"Who is Lin? What is her relationship with Wu'an Marquis Mansion?"

Seeing that Emperor Xuanwen did not mention Concubine Wan, Xie Yuanfeng curled her lips and glared at him.

Emperor Xuanwen was also helpless. The woman was not a big deal, but the children were his, and they were twins, a boy and a girl.

Always try to keep it.

Marquis Wu'an knelt on the ground and dared not answer.

"Why, you don't know or you don't want to tell me?" Emperor Xuanwen smiled coldly, "Do you want Prince Dingyuan to help you?"

Marquis Wu'an shuddered and kowtowed quickly.

"Your Majesty, the Lin family is..."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Lu Jingting knelt forward a few steps and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xuanwen, "I have something to say about the Lin family."

Marquis Wu'an glared at Lu Jingting. This bastard was actually going to turn against us!

Xiao Yunxi also didn't expect that Lu Jingting was going to turn around and deal with Marquis Wu'an?

Doesn't he want Lin Wan'er, Lu Ze, and Lu Yuan anymore? !

Lu Jingting knelt on the ground, feeling indescribably calm.

Everything that had just happened in the court seemed to have woken him up.

He realized that not only would he fail to bring down the eldest princess and her group today, but he would also have to lose their lives.

Don't even think about convicting Xiao Yunxi and sending her to the royal nunnery.

Whether it's reconciliation or renewing a past relationship, nothing is more important than life.

Even if Lin Wan'er had the support of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, there was no way she could walk out of the palace alive today.

If she had insisted on not admitting her relationship with Concubine Wan, she might have still managed to survive.

But now, not to mention her, even Concubine Wan is in danger.

Therefore, he must find a way to protect himself.

"Lu Jingting, my Wu'an Marquis Mansion treats you well!"

Marquis Wu'an was about to pounce on Lu Jingting and fight him, but was pinned down by two young eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lu Jingting is not a good person. You can't believe a single word he says!"

Marquis Wu'an struggled desperately, and his tone was as sincere as possible.

"Oh?" Emperor Xuanwen looked at Wu'an Hou with amusement as he twisted his body like a fat maggot. "He is not a good guy. Are you?"

"You can't trust a single word he said, but you can trust what you said?"

"How about you tell me the whole story?"

With every word Emperor Xuanwen spoke, Marquis Wu'an's face turned paler, until it was as pale as paper.

Xie Yuanfeng nodded, "Your Majesty is wise, this Lu Jingting is a key figure. He used to favor his concubine and neglect his wife, and now he is sacrificing his relatives for the sake of justice. He is quite an important figure.

Your Majesty, please listen to what he has to say."

Emperor Xuanwen found Xie Yuanfeng's words irritating. What does "Your Majesty is wise" mean?

Coming from Xie Yuanfeng's mouth, these words were not credible at all.

But he couldn't say anything. His eldest sister's bad temper was spoiled by the late emperor and also by himself.

Just bear with it, what else can I do but chop her up?
