Chapter 288 Who is deceiving the emperor? Request to save mother
"Yue Xing, is what your father said true? Did you steal your second brother's prey?"
There was no emotion in Kangxi's voice.
Upon hearing this, Yue Xing'a immediately kowtowed heavily and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, no, I hunted this tiger myself. I did not steal your second brother's prey. I have..."
Before the Fourth Prince could finish his words, he was interrupted by Longkodo again. He cursed in a deep and painful voice:
"Shut up, you beast. How long do you want to embarrass yourself? Get out of here now."
Upon hearing this, Yue Xing'a clenched his fists, his eyes red. "Beast, beast, I am a beast, and who are you? You are worse than pigs and dogs."
This time he would never give in even if he died. He wanted to save his mother, he wanted Longkodo to be brought down in disgrace, he wanted Li Si'er to repay him with his own kindness, and he wanted that little beast Yuzhu to never be so arrogant again.
So he not only did not listen to Longkodo's words and retreat, but instead shouted:
"I won't retreat. Why should I retreat? I hunted the tiger myself. Someone has testified that I did not steal Yuzhu's prey. I did not deceive the emperor. Please understand, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily again.
Longkodo didn't expect that Yue Xing'a, who had always been submissive and obedient, would dare to disobey him this time. He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him hard. Yue Xing'a was hit in the face and a trace of blood came out of his mouth.
But Yue Xing'a just kept silent and refused to change his words. This made Longkodo even angrier and he wanted to fight again. Kangxi, who was at the top, spoke with a gloomy expression:
"stop."
"Your Majesty!" Longkodo was about to say something when Kangxi emphasized:
"I told you to stop."
Longkodo heard the anger in the emperor's words, but since this concerned Yuzhu's future, he wanted to say something, but Kangxi's face turned completely gloomy.
He said directly:
"I am asking about Yue Xing'a, Longkodo, do you want to disobey my order?"
Looking at the majestic emperor, Longkodo had to shut up, but he turned around and glared at Yue Xing'a fiercely, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
However, Yue Xing'a raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, without even looking at Longkodo. When he heard the emperor ask who the witness was, he spoke clearly:
"My witness is the Fourth Prince."
Hearing this, Kangxi looked at the Fourth Prince who had remained silent.
"Old Four, what Yue Xing'a said is true. Who hunted that tiger?"
The Fourth Prince had an indifferent expression on his face. Hearing this, he stood up and bowed, saying:
"Replying to the Emperor, what Yue Xing'a said is true. He hunted that tiger."
Then, he described in a serious manner what he had seen in the dense forest. After hearing this, everyone looked at Longkodo with changed eyes.
It turns out that the person who actually stole the prey was Yuzhu. Longkodo actually framed his eldest son in public in order to favor his second son. More importantly, this was deceiving the emperor!
Longkodo was dumbfounded, he didn't know anything about the Fourth Prince, he only knew that Yuzhu had set his eyes on Yue Xing'a's tiger.
It's nothing. What's wrong with the elder brother giving in to the younger brother? It's Yue Xing'a who is selfish and unfriendly to his younger brother. Anyway, his family property will belong to Yuzhu in the future. Now it's just a tiger. Yuzhu can give it to him as he wants.
But I didn't expect that there was also the matter of the Fourth Prince in the middle. Now, he was bullying the emperor in public. How would this end...
Kangxi's good mood was completely gone. His inky black eyes looked coldly at Longkodo. He hadn't even approached him to settle accounts yet, but he had come to him.
He dared to bully the emperor in public. It seems that the incident with Tong Jia and Wanru did not wake him up. Instead, it made him even more fearless.
Did he think that he would never do anything to him because of his status? It was just that he couldn't make public Tong Jia Wanru's affairs, otherwise it would be like slapping himself in the face.
More importantly, the Tonggiya clan had great power in the court and was difficult to shake, otherwise it would undermine the foundation of the country. That was why Longkodo was not touched for the time being.
If he had been honest and low-key, we would have just stayed away and waited for him to be weakened slowly. But now that he has no self-awareness, don't blame him.
"Longkodo, do you have anything to say?"
Longkodo broke out in a cold sweat. The Fourth Prince was the Emperor's son, and the Emperor naturally believed in his son. He had no way of making excuses.
At this time, Tong Guowei had to stand up.
"Your Majesty, Longkodo was confused and acted rashly without knowing the truth, but he is also a kind father. Please forgive him for once!"
Look at what shameless words these are. Shi Nanxi, who had been silent all this time, could no longer bear it. She asked Kangxi in confusion:
"Your Majesty, could it be that I remembered it wrongly? Isn't this Yue Xing'a the eldest son of Lord Longkodo? Why does he do this out of a loving father's heart?"
Kangxi heard this and explained:
"You remember correctly, Yue Xing'a is Longkodo's eldest son, and Yuzhu is his second son."
"Ah!" Shi Nanxi covered her lips with her handkerchief in a pretentious manner, and said in surprise: "So that's how it is, they are all the sons of Lord Longkodo, how could it be?"
She seemed a little embarrassed:
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am not very familiar with the people and things in the capital. I vaguely remember that Lord Longkodo only has one eldest son."
Kangxi said expressionlessly:
"It's none of your business. Some people don't train their legitimate sons well, but instead indulge them in things that are not worthy of being on the table."
As soon as these words were spoken, Longkodo could not help but get angry. He would not allow anyone to slander the son born to his beloved fourth son.
"Your Majesty, Yuzhu is not something that can't be put on the table. He is my most beloved son and my successor."
Tong Guowei wanted to cover Longkodo's mouth. This son lost his mind when he met people and things related to Li Si'er.
Kangxi almost laughed out of anger.
"How dare you disobey me for something that is not worthy of being on the stage? How dare a mere bastard be the successor."
Longkodo was about to say something when Yuzhu stood up, walked around and knelt down, saying with a look of shame and indignation:
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with my father. It was Yue Xing'a who often bullied me in the mansion, and his mother often bullied my aunt by relying on her status. I was indignant and deliberately stole his tiger. I know I was wrong, please punish me, but please forgive my father!"
Longkodo looked at Yuzhu with emotion and love, with a look of relief, as if they were truly a father-son relationship. However, this made Shi Nanxi feel sick.
She had seen cases of the thief crying "stop thief" and putting the blame on others, but today's three generations of grandfather and son really opened her eyes.
Yue Xing'a, who had been silent all this time, could no longer hold back. He suddenly kowtowed heavily and said in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty, you just said that whoever hunts a tiger will have a request granted. That tiger was hunted by me, and I beg Your Majesty to grant me a favor."
Tong Guowei and Longkodo had a bad feeling when they heard this and wanted to stop him, but they heard the emperor say:
"Yue Xing, I keep my word. What do you want?"
Yue Xing'a raised his blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and said word by word:
"I beg the Emperor to save my mother's life."
what?
What does this mean?
What about saving his mother's life?
This time even Kangxi was a little confused, while Tong Guowei, Longkodo and Yuzhu's faces changed drastically, and Yue Xing'a repeated again:
"I beg Your Majesty to save my mother's life. My mother was turned into a human pig by Li Si'er. I beg Your Majesty to save my mother from suffering. I am willing to die as a token of gratitude."
With a bang, the scene exploded!
