"You lied!" Yuan Hongchou became excited. He glanced at the person on the dragon bed, walked up to Yuan Hongxi, and wanted to grab his lapel, but Yuan Hongxi easily dodged him.
"My mother-in-law also died at his hands." Yuan Hongxi brushed his robe and tidied it up, "This is not a strange thing." The whole words he said were like those of strangers, with an expression of indifference and alienation.
, as if telling a story that has nothing to do with oneself.
When people reach a certain level of indifference and sadness, the attitude of having nothing to do with oneself is the most hurtful and fatal thing.
Yuan Hongchou was stunned for a moment and began to recall a series of events that led to Concubine Qi's death that day. No matter how powerful Yuan Hongxi was, he could not accuse Concubine Qi of being a traitor to the country.
Now that I think about it...
The emperor is indeed the person most likely to harm his mother and concubine.
Turning around and walking to the emperor's side, his steps were unusually heavy. He leaned down and looked at the person with wandering eyes. Yuan Hongchou took a deep breath and said indifferently: "Father, let me ask you, did you kill my mother?"
The concubine’s?”
The emperor shook his head and wanted to struggle. But the panic in his eyes had already betrayed him.
Yes, he was the one who had someone change Concubine Qi's wine and drugged her. But it was Concubine Qi's fault that she brought upon herself! With him, she still wanted to be entangled with Shi Mo and Mian Mian, and she had been unhappy for a long time.
Got it!
But...it's not like he hasn't heard the folk words before, how harsh they are, and how angry they make him.
Simply, he used other methods to give her a high-sounding reason to kill her. He thought everything was peaceful, but he didn't expect Yuan Hongxi to secretly add fuel to the fire.
When Yuan Hongchou saw his expression, he had various thoughts in his heart.
He took out the dagger from his arms and put it on the emperor's neck. His eyes were red and his voice began to tremble: "I thought... I have a mother who treats me very well. I thought that my mother-in-law
He died tragically at the hands of Yuan Hongxi."
"But...I never thought that my mother-in-law would die under a conspiracy carefully planned by my father."
"I didn't expect that I always resented the wrong person."
"Father, it was you who taught me not to be merciful. Haha... So, for the sake of your own reputation, you really were not merciful to your mother and concubine at all. Even after she died, you didn't even come to see her in person.
.”
"Looking back now, it really makes me sick..."
"This kind of father, it's better to die." Just as the dagger was about to fall under the emperor's throat, Yuan Hongxi immediately snatched it away and knocked it to the ground.
"What are you going to do! I want revenge!" Yuan Hongchou stared at Yuan Hongxi with red eyes, dissatisfied with what he had done, and was about to pick up the dagger and attack the emperor again.
"If the eleventh brother wants to be charged with patricide, I will not stop him." Yuan Hongxi looked at him with his usual cold and indifferent expression.
"..." Yuan Hongchou gritted his teeth, his movements in his hand slowed down a bit, and he unconsciously put the knife back, "Then what should I do?"
"Eleventh brother should understand." Yuan Hongxi glanced at him, "If you find it convenient, you might as well help me find some ministers to come over and listen to the announcement. Wait a moment...Father will not even have the chance to speak.
"
"Ha." Yuan Hongchou glanced at Yuan Hongxi lightly, but still gritted his teeth, put away the knife and went down.
Logically speaking, sharp weapons are not allowed in and out of the palace. However, since he is His Royal Highness, he is a little bully in the eyes of everyone, so he has more rights than others.
Now it seems that the emperor's tolerance towards him is nothing more than guilt.
Out of guilt, he strangled his mother-in-law with his own hands!
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. Yuan Hongchou tossed his sleeves, leaving the emperor with a back view, and left gracefully——
