Chapter 136: Become the Minister of Justice (17)
Song Chengze covered his wound with his hands, his eyes were bloodshot. His fingers, his fingers!
But this was not the most explosive thing. The most explosive thing was that after Xie Lang cut off her own fingers, she actually said that she wanted to rebel.
Such an act of confusing right and wrong and turning the tables made Song Chengze so angry that he vomited blood with a "pu" sound.
Blood splattered on the ground, his eyes were filled with rage, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of Song Chengze's heart.
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Chengze wiped the corner of his mouth with his left sleeve, glared at Xie Lang, and then said to the puppet emperor: "Father, Xu Yingqing is framing me, and she even dared to cut off my fingers in court. Your Majesty, please arrest her and torture her to death."
Some ministers could not stand this any longer. They thought that since Xie Lang had dared to cut off the prince's finger this time, His Majesty should not ignore the punishment no matter how partial he was to him.
However, the puppet emperor's eyes did not waver at all, and he said lightly: "Since the crown prince is plotting a rebellion, he should be imprisoned. As for the rest, this matter should be handed over to Xu Aiqing to handle."
"I obey your command." Xie Lang replied with a smile.
Song Chengze's eyes widened at this moment, his eyes full of incomprehension, and he shouted at the puppet emperor: "Father, I didn't, I really didn't rebel! It was Xu Yingqing who framed me. She didn't even have any evidence, but she said I rebelled. Father, you can't be so confused about right and wrong!!!"
"Lord Xu would never wrongly accuse someone for no reason. Since she said you were plotting a rebellion, then you were plotting a rebellion." The puppet emperor said indifferently without even giving Song Chengze a look.
"Father, I am your son, I am!" Song Chengze was devastated to the point of collapse when he heard the puppet emperor's ridiculous remarks. Tears flowed down his cheeks and he shouted at the puppet emperor, "She is just an outsider. Her last name is Xu. She doesn't believe Song! Father, are you out of your mind? Father, please wake up quickly, otherwise the country of Dajin will be destroyed in her hands sooner or later."
"How dare you!" The puppet emperor shouted at them, and then said to the Dragon Guards who dared not come forward: "What, didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and take down the prince."
The Dragon Guards then stepped forward and wanted to take Song Chengze away, and Song Chengze's eyes were filled with resentment at this moment, all because of Xie Lang, all because of her.
If she died, would his father become normal again? So he stared at the sword on the waist of a Dragon Guard who was walking over, and when he was off guard, Song Chengze pulled out the sword.
The sound of a weapon being unsheathed was heard, and before anyone could react, the sword was swung towards Xie Lang, with the tip of the sword pointing at her forehead.
His expression was still hesitant and seemed particularly painful.
There was still a faint smile on Xie Lang's lips at this time, and even when Song Chengze pointed the knife at him, his expression did not change.
"How dare you! Put down the knife immediately." the puppet emperor exclaimed.
The hearts of the Dragon Guards and the ministers were also tightened at this moment. They all held their breath and watched the scene before them.
Song Chengze's heart was in a state of conflict at this moment, but Xie Lang just looked at him with a smile, without any fear in his eyes.
With a clang, the sword finally fell to the ground. Song Chengze gasped heavily, and he finally did not chop down.
As the precious sword fell to the ground, his hands and feet were bound by the Dragon Guards.
Some officials sighed.
"You are such a loser, don't you even have the courage to swing your knife at me now?"
Xie Lang couldn't help but sneer when he saw this. With such a good opportunity, Song Chengze actually hesitated. He was indeed a waste.
"You..." Song Chengze really wanted to kill Xie Lang, but he was afraid that he would be convicted of treason, so after thinking it over, he let him go.
But I didn't expect that even this would be ridiculed by Xie Lang.
Just after the prince was imprisoned, the entire court meeting ended.
After the court meeting, everyone's fear of Xie Lang deepened.
They never expected that the emperor could put the prince in jail based on just one word from Xie Lang. This was really... too outrageous.
…………
At the post station, since Xu Guanghai and his entire clan were executed, many detectives from the Ministry of Justice rushed into the post station and arrested everyone inside.
Whether it was Madam Xu, her two sons, or the children of her concubine, they were all arrested and brought to justice.
On the other side, the East Palace.
Xu Wanxin was tasting the cakes handed to her by a maid. She was wearing a piece of silk and satin with some gold hairpins and hairpins inserted diagonally in her hair. The tassels on the hairpins swayed in the wind, making crisp sounds.
She gently put the pastry into her mouth with one hand and gently stroked her belly with the other hand.
Just last night, when she and the prince were getting along well, she had already exchanged a fertility pill from the system.
The prince now has only one concubine, one concubine and one daughter in his backyard.
She came here to give birth to offspring for the prince.
How can a prince have only one daughter?
If I only have daughters, my family line will be extinct.
I still want a son.
The prince is handsome and considerate. Xu Yingqing, who doesn't know the value of a man, actually looks down on such a high-quality man and always lets the prince down. Every time she watches TV dramas, she gets pissed off by Xu Yingqing's behavior.
Now let her take care of the prince. Xu Yingqing should pay the price for her actions.
This time she exposed her identity as a woman, and she will surely die a miserable death.
Then he said to the system: "How much favor does the prince have towards me now?"
The Quick Transmigration Childbirth System said, "Sixty percent."
Sixty percent, not bad, Xu Wanxin nodded slowly. Ever since she bound herself to the quick-transmigration and childbearing system, she has been living the ideal life she wanted.
As long as she can please the male protagonist, she can get everything she wants.
At this moment, the gate of the East Palace was broken into.
A team of Shenlong Guards wearing flying fish uniforms and wearing precious swords on their waists walked straight towards Xu Wanxin.
Then, under her shocked gaze, she handcuffed her hands and feet.
"You...what are you doing? I am the prince's man. If you do this, believe it or not, I will tell the prince and let him sentence you to death." Xu Wanxin kept struggling, and in the process did not forget to threaten the prince.
"The Crown Prince... Haha, the Crown Prince has been imprisoned." The leading Dragon Guard said contemptuously, not afraid of Xu Wanxin's verbal threats at all, and then said to Xu Wanxin: "Are you Xu Wanxin, the daughter of Xu Guanghai?"
"The prince is in prison. How is that possible?"
Xu Wanxin didn't believe this fact at all. How could the prince be imprisoned? She then kept asking the system what was going on.
"I don't know either. This little world seems to have collapsed. Host, you're on your own."
The quick-transmigration childbirth system also noticed that something was wrong with this small world. It tried to report it to the main system, but found that it could not contact the main system at all, as if someone had isolated this world.
The quick-transmigration child-bearing system, upon discovering something was wrong, immediately left Xu Wanxin's body and rushed towards the barrier of the world.
"System, system, what's wrong with you? Where is you, system?"
Xu Wanxin found that she couldn't contact the system at all, so she became anxious.
But her behavior seemed crazy to the Dragon Guards outside.
Several Shenlong Guards looked at each other and took Xu Wanxin away.
