I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

But he was stopped by Xie Jingrui's secret guard.

Pressing the other person to the ground, Xie Yunxi looked obviously flustered.

He looked suggestively at the officials who had joined him in the plan.

At this moment, their eyes were all avoiding looking elsewhere, not even looking at Xie Yunxi.

Emperor Hexu was the one who emerged from a life of slaughter among his brothers. He had lived a life of deception and scheming for decades and was really tired of it.

Now that he is in power, he does not want his princes to kill each other, so he appointed a crown prince early and gave each prince a title and fiefdom.

I just don't want my kids to go down their path again.

It was originally thought that the Crown Prince Qianhe could succeed to the throne smoothly, the Second Prince would guard the border, the Third Prince would be law-abiding, and the Fourth Prince would not care about worldly affairs. The several princes could live in peace and manage the entire Kyoto well in the future.

Emperor Hexu shouted at the assassin on the ground: "Who sent someone to assassinate the prince?"

The assassin's upper body was tied up at this time, his shoulders were pressed down tightly by the secret guards, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth. He was groaning.

Emperor Hexu signaled for someone to remove the cloth from his mouth.

Xie Jingrui stepped forward to stop him.

He cast a cold gaze on the assassin and warned him, "If you dare to bite your tongue and hang yourself, I will make you hang yourself three times a day and then rescue you!"

The assassin looked at Xie Jingrui, and his body trembled slightly in fear.

He knew very well that Xie Jingrui absolutely did what he said.

As long as they are in his dungeon, if he doesn't want them to die, they will be unable to live or die!

The assassin nodded slightly in fear.

Xie Jingrui then pulled the cloth out of the other person's mouth.

The assassin also saw the opportunity and bit his tongue to commit suicide.

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and grabbed the assassin's chin fiercely.

The look he gave the assassin was even colder and more stern, as if he were a dead object.

"Since you don't want to speak with your mouth, then what's the point of using your tongue?" After Xie Jingrui finished speaking, he took out a pair of scissors from his waist, put them directly into the other person's mouth, and cut off the other person's tongue!

"Huh!" The assassin widened his eyes, filled with fear.

The scissors were taken out and blood splattered all over the floor.

Everyone present was so frightened that they felt a chill down their spines and sweat streamed down their foreheads.

"Call the imperial physician to stop the bleeding!" Xie Jingrui said indifferently, taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping the bloody scissors and the remaining blood on his hands.

After the imperial physician stopped the assassin's bleeding.

Xie Yunxi was overjoyed when he saw it.

Then he said to the emperor: "Father, I think my second brother wants to cut off the other party's tongue intentionally, fearing that the other party will say something unfavorable to him."

Xie Yunxi continued to say, "Father, you usually love Second Brother and protect him in everything. Now that he has done something so treasonous, if you don't punish Second Brother, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Emperor Hexu didn't expect Xie Yunxi to force him to convict Xie Jingrui. His face was dark and gloomy: "It's not your turn to speak here."

Xie Yunxi was unwilling to give in: "Father, the Crown Prince is now in danger of death. If you protect the Second Emperor now, it will definitely chill the Crown Prince's heart."

He Xu narrowed his gloomy eyes and said, "Xie Yunxi, you are so eager to convict Zhen Rui'er, could it be that you are the one who arranged this?"

Xie Yunxi swore to the heavens: "Father, I have no motive to do this. Even if the Crown Prince is gone, I think I am inferior to my other brothers in every aspect, so I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts."

"Hmph, the prince was assassinated, and Rui'er was accused of the crime of assassinating the prince. You are the biggest beneficiary of killing two birds with one stone!" Emperor Hexu exposed it without any hesitation.

At this time, there were only a few of Emperor Hexu's confidants in the inner hall, and he slammed the table in anger.

Xie Yunxi was so frightened that his face turned pale and he immediately knelt on the ground.

The people who were sent out to search reported back.

"Your Majesty." The man knelt down and presented the evidence he had found to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this was found in the residence of the Third Prince. I remember that the pictures and texts on it were special pictures and texts for the Northern Frontier tribe."

Emperor Hexu kept flipping through the things in his hand, his expression becoming uglier and uglier as he read: "Okay, Third Brother, I thought you were the most honest person, but I didn't expect you to collude with foreign countries to harm Kyoto."

He threw the letters in his hand fiercely at Xie Yunxi's face, furious: "Where did you raise those locusts?"

After hearing this, Xie Yunxi looked at Emperor Hexu in some confusion. He was colluding with foreign countries.

But he didn't know what locusts were, so why did he want to raise them?

He picked up the letters on the ground and carefully looked through the contents. Xie Yunxi repeatedly confirmed that the handwriting on the letters was not the letters he exchanged with the Northern Frontier tribes.

Xie Yunxi kowtowed heavily and said, "Father, I was wrongly accused. These things do not belong to me at all. I do not know what kind of locusts I have raised, and I will never do anything to harm Kyoto. Please be clear about this, Father."

Emperor Hexu ignored Xie Yunxi and looked at the assassin whose bleeding had stopped on the ground and said, "I will give you one more chance. If you can tell me what you know, I can spare your life and I will not pursue your family. You can live a good life away from Kyoto in the future."

The assassin looked at Xie Jingrui with some fear, and when he saw him playing with the scissors in his hand calmly, he shrank back and looked away.

The reason why he was willing to work for Xie Yunxi was because his child was locked up somewhere else by Xie Yunxi and he threatened him to help him. If he died, his wife and child would get a good compensation.

But if he betrayed Xie Yunxi, he would sell his wife as a prostitute and kill his children.

The words that Emperor Hexu just said obviously moved the assassin.

Seeing that he had something to say, Xie Jingrui said to the secret guards beside him, "Untie him and bring him the four treasures of the study."

Subsequently.

Xie Jingrui fixed his eyes on the other person and warned him, "If you want to hang yourself in any way, I can satisfy you, but you will be rescued every time you hang yourself!"

After experiencing that kind of pain just now, the assassin no longer had the courage to try it a second time. The feeling of having his tongue cut off by Xie Jingrui was too painful.

He still remembers it clearly.

After hearing Xie Jingrui's warning, the assassin shook his head repeatedly.

The servant brought the four treasures of the study, and the assassin honestly wrote down everything he knew on rice paper.

In the end, he asked Emperor Hexu to spare his wife and children.

The eunuch brought the rice paper to Emperor Hexu.

Emperor Hexu took the contents on the rice paper, angrily took the teacup and smashed it heavily in Xie Yunxi's face.

All other ministers were dismissed.

Only Hexudi, Xie Jingrui and Xie Yunxi were left at the scene.

Emperor Hexu leaned weakly on his chair, looking several years older in an instant. He asked Eunuch Wei beside him, "How is the situation with the Crown Prince?"
