406. Chapter 406 May the sixth brother return safely
A hint of sneer appeared in the prince's eyes, very light and cold, and said——
"In that case, I would like to thank the Right Prime Minister for his kindness." His voice was as gentle as a spring, with a touch of contempt and ridicule.
Xuanyuan Qiche, who was on the side, was calm on the surface, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. Why did his father specially call him to come and listen when he tortured the right minister about killing his daughter? Could it be that he discovered something wrong?
Besides, although Su Yueming is a clan concubine personally granted by the emperor, she does not have a great position and does not need his personal intervention. Could it be that...
His cryptic gaze swept towards the prince——
Did he say something in front of his father? What did he say to make his father value Su Yueming so much?
"..." The emperor slammed his finger on the table and let out a dull hum. Su Buqing's body dropped even lower, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
"Ji from the Funing clan has contributed to the great Zhou Dynasty. She is a person who has made meritorious service to our court. You, the right minister, shot and killed you openly. If word spreads, who would dare to offer suggestions to the court!"
Su Buqing kowtowed and said, "What the emperor said is true. This humble minister did not think carefully, so I ask the emperor to punish me."
The emperor looked at Xuanyuan Qi Che, who was silent at the side, and said, "Che'er."
"Yes, I am here." Xuanyuan Qiche took a step forward and knelt down.
"Prime Minister Su has made meritorious deeds and went to Daqin in person to find Su Yueming's whereabouts and bring her back. Please accompany him." The emperor gave the order.
Xuanyuan Qiche was stunned, asking him, the Sixth Prince, to find a concubine?
"Sixth brother, do you have any objection to my father's will?" the prince asked. Xuanyuan Qiche raised his head. The expression on his face was as gentle and calm as usual, but it clearly made him feel a cold and distant aura.
At this moment, he understood that the relationship between him and the prince had completely broken down after Su Yueming was kidnapped by Murong Canghai. In this life, they have been old enemies.
"Che'er?" The emperor's voice revealed a trace of impatience.
Xuanyuan Qiche bowed down and said respectfully——
"I have no objections. I will comply with the order and will definitely bring Su Yueming back to the Zhou Dynasty. I will not disgrace the emperor's order."
"In that case, let's set off immediately." The emperor stood up and raised his hand to signal everyone to leave. He had not recovered from his serious illness and looked tired.
The prince and Xuanyuan Qi Che walked out of the imperial study one after another. Xuanyuan Qi Che always stared at the back of the prince in the python robe with a pensive expression on his face.
His back seemed to be covered with frost, cold and indifferent. Xuanyuan Qiche suddenly realized that after following the prince for many years, he had always thought that he was as gentle as jade and tepid as he appeared on the surface.
Only now do I realize that he was wrong. In fact, the prince's coldness is almost unparalleled.
This section of the road is not far, but the prince walked very slowly, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he was saying goodbye to something.
The prince suddenly stopped and Xuanyuan Qiche lowered his head slightly, removing the expression on his face, still as respectful and polite as usual.
The prince turned around, and when the wind blew, his hair floated slightly. He was quiet and gentle. He walked over, raised his hand and patted Xuanyuan Qiche's shoulder, saying -
"Sixth brother, I hope you can bring Su Yueming back safely." He said the last four words very slowly, like a sharp blade, slowly cutting open his chest.
"Yes, Your Highness." He lowered his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the prince's hand on his shoulder. His fingers were slender, clean, and had clear joints. His shoulders sank, and he felt an invisible and powerful pressure.
