Chapter 317: Holding a grudge and wanting to fight back
Chapter 317: Resentful and wants to fight back
When the late emperor rescued Xiao Jingze as a child, Xiao Jingze had already given his life to the late emperor.
The relationship between brother, friend and brother over the years is not something that others can understand.
Looking at Xiao Xiguang clearly, he sighed.
I just hope that when the emperor is older, he can understand the painstaking efforts of the regent.
"The queen mother trusts the regent, I know."
Xiao Xiguang came back to his senses and his face returned to its normal color.
Look, it's just like before.
"My mother, please live a peaceful and peaceful life here and return to the palace when you think about it.
I am always waiting in the palace.
This year's palace banquet, I look forward to the return of my mother.
It’s been a long time since we’ve been reunited as a family.”
Mingran did not agree to Xiao Xiguang, nor did he refuse.
"It's too late, your Majesty, please go back to the palace!"
Xiao Xiguang walked to the door and glanced at the bookshelf.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the eunuch.
"These things are old and worn out, I will make some new ones for my mother.
Take them all away, leaving no one behind."
The eunuch came forward and quickly put everything away.
Then, he took it and walked out the door.
Ming Ran opened his mouth, but he didn't stop them.
After Xiao Xiguang was sent away, the courtyard became quiet again.
Ming Ran took the beads, closed his eyes and started chanting.
On the other side, Xiao Jingze has brought Su Jinxiu back to the capital.
After the carriage stopped, Su Jinxiu prepared to get off.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for today."
Xiao Jingze nodded and saw Su Jinxiu off.
"Go to bed early."
Su Jinxiu nodded and realized something was wrong as soon as she got out of the car.
"Your Majesty, why are you here at the palace?
Now I have a place to live."
At the door, Zangyue was already waiting there.
Seeing Su Jinxiu coming, she quickly stepped forward.
"Miss Su, the room has been tidied up."
Seeing Su Jinxiu's confused eyes, Xiao Jingze's mouth curved.
He raised his hand and touched the top of her hair.
"It's not safe for you to live there now.
I'm not worried, let's live in the palace!
Your cat is waiting for you too."
Su Jinxiu looked at Xiao Jingze's gentle expression and held back all her words.
Xiao Jingze withdrew his hand and signaled Su Jinxiu to go back and rest first.
"I still have something to do and I have to go to the palace.
You need to rest first without waiting for me."
Su Jinxiu looked at Xiao Jingze like this and didn't know what to say.
He sighed, nodded, and followed Cangyue into the palace.
Until Su Jinxiu entered and the door closed.
Xiao Jingze then returned to the carriage, and the afterimage drove the carriage straight to the palace gate.
On the way, Xiao Jingze turned the jade ring in his hand.
————————————
Xiao Xiguang left the small courtyard and went down the mountain.
As he was about to take the carriage back to the palace, he looked up and saw the eunuch holding the small gadget that Lingran had brought.
Unable to help, he frowned.
"Make a fire..."
The eunuch didn't know why, but he lit a fire anyway.
Xiao Xiguang took these things and threw them into the fire one by one.
I felt relieved after watching those things burn to ashes with my own eyes.
He turned around and got on the carriage before returning to the palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, she saw Xu Yingying's trusted maid running over anxiously.
As soon as she saw Xiao Xiguang, the palace maid fell to her knees in tears.
"The Emperor is back, and the Regent has entered the palace.
Your Majesty, your Majesty is not well..."
When Xiao Xigang heard this, his expression changed drastically.
He immediately kicked the palace maid away and strode forward.
"It's useless, even the master can't protect it..."
When he ran to Xu Yingying's palace, he saw the people inside kneeling on the ground.
There was a pillar erected in the courtyard, and tied to the pillar was a man who had turned into a bloody gourd.
Xu Yingying fell to the ground, trembling all over and wailing continuously.
Xiao Jingze sat upright, holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly.
"Yingying..."
Xiao Xiguang rushed in. At this moment, he didn't look majestic and imperial at all.
His face was full of panic.
"Your Majesty, are you back?
My concubine, my concubine is afraid..."
Seeing the savior coming, Xu Yingying flew into Xiao Xiguang's arms, trembling.
She didn't dare to look at the person on the pillar, so she just begged.
"Your Majesty, please spare my cousin!
He worked as a guard in the army and for some reason offended the prince.
As soon as the prince came, he tied the man and skinned him.
My concubine, I really can’t stop you!”
Hearing Xu Yingying cry so sadly, Xiao Xiguang's heart almost broke.
Holding Xu Yingying in her arms, she gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Jingze.
"I had just gone to visit my mother, and the emperor's uncle came into the palace looking for trouble.
Is this a deliberate attempt to show off to me?
Just because I said I would withdraw the leader of the capital guard?
Uncle Emperor, are you unhappy?"
Xiao Jingze looked at Xiao Xiguang with an angry face and slowly put down the tea cup.
He put his hands behind his back and stood up coldly.
"I have been teaching the Emperor these years.
As an emperor, you have to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people and understand checks and balances.
You have learned the art of checks and balances well.
This is how to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, and I can't seem to learn it no matter what.
The people around you just say a few words and just do what you like.
You can easily listen to it, an emperor.
But he became someone else’s puppet, which is really funny.”
He walked up to Xiao Xiguang and looked at him condescendingly.
"Today, my uncle will teach you another lesson.
Let you know what it means to know people."
As he spoke, he raised his hand.
Afterimage immediately stepped forward and peeled off a piece of the man's flesh.
The man had been tortured so much that he just wanted to die quickly.
He was in great pain and wailed endlessly.
"It's Xu Yingying, it's Xu Yingying who made me obey.
She will give me the position of leader of the Capital Guard. She said that the emperor listens to her the most.
As long as she opens her mouth, anything is possible.
After she made me serve as the capital guard, she brought in all the Xu family members.
From now on, we will have the final say in the capital..."
Xu Yingying couldn't help but tremble even more when she heard these words.
This was indeed what she said to her cousin.
That was also relying on the emperor's favor, so he was unscrupulous.
She never expected that Xiao Jingze would be so bold and torture him in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense.
How could Yingying say such treasonous words if she only wanted to be the emperor?
Your Majesty, do you trust me..."
Xiao Xiguang felt heartbroken when he saw Xu Yingying like this.
"I know, I know everything."
Finally, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jingze.
"Uncle Emperor, don't think that I don't know your methods, and that no one can stand being tortured by you.
It must be your intention that he slanders Concubine Xian like this.
Come, kill him..."
The guard on the side heard the sound and stepped forward, killing the man with a knife.
The wailing stopped, and the smell of blood filled the air.
Xu Yingying's hanging heart finally dropped.
She screamed and fainted.
When Xiao Xiguang saw this, he quickly picked up Xu Yingying.
"Imperial Physician, please send the Imperial Physician over quickly.
If there is anything wrong with Concubine Xian, I will kill you."
This was said to Xiao Jingze.
Xiao Jingze looked at Xiao Xiguang coldly, like a headless fly.
"It seems that the emperor still hasn't learned.
I am curious about how intelligent the late Emperor was.
How could you give birth to such a stupid child?"
When Xiao Xiguang heard this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Uncle Huang doubts me? Huh, it's better to doubt my own life experience.
How can someone with such a temper like my father have such a temper, brother?"
