“Haven’t you always been the only one who said those words, Eldest Brother?” Shangguan Heng clapped his hands. “While there are so many people around, let’s hear the truth.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in prison clothes with disheveled hair was brought out.
Shangguan Pu glanced at Shangguan Heng.
He provided him with information to force him to attack the emperor and asked him to focus all his attention on Song Jingchen. In the end, he came out and exposed him. He had really underestimated his third brother.
However, did he think that he would be caught off guard?
The person who was brought up had a dirty face. When they recognized who it was, the ministers were stunned for a moment before whispering. “Isn’t that the old prince? Why is he here?”
“That’s right! Shouldn’t the old prince have been beheaded by now?
“Is Lord Rui robbing the execution ground? That’s too bold. That’s Your Majesty’s decree.”
The discussions around them continued. Song Jingchen’s gaze had never left Shangguan Heng from the moment the old prince appeared.
He did not notice that there was another gaze on him.
“Nephew, isn’t Lord Rui fooling around?” General Xiao stood beside Song Jingchen.
They had to wait until Lord Jing brought the imperial decree back to the meditation room.
If he angered Lord Jing at this time, what if he killed the Emperor?
Song Jingchen came back to his senses and glanced at the people in the dragon carriage. He shook his head and said, “Let’s wait and see.”
General Xiao thought to himself, “It’s equivalent to not saying anything.”
He thought for a moment and squeezed towards the altar. If Lord Jing attacked later, he would be able to save the Emperor.
Song Jingchen was about to follow when a monk suddenly walked up to him. “Sir, that benefactor asked me to give this to you.”
Seeing the item in his hand, Song Jingchen’s eyes narrowed and he looked in the direction he was pointing.
It was Prime Minister Liu!
“Sir?” The monk reminded him when he did not take it.
Only then did Song Jingchen come back to his senses and take the wooden hairpin from his hand.
At the end of the hairpin, there was a word he was all too familiar with.
Thinking of something, he turned around and looked behind him, but he didn’t see South Wind.
Song Jingchen secretly clenched his fists and turned to leave, but someone grabbed his wrist.
“Nephew, where are you going?”
It turned out that General Xiao realized that Song Jingchen wasn’t following him and walked back.
He naturally saw the monk and Song Jingchen looking at Prime Minister Liu.
“Uncle Xiao, my wife might be in danger,” Song Jingchen explained patiently.
“Look at the guards around you. Can you get out?” General Xiao frowned.
Song Jingchen broke free from General Xiao’s hand. “I have to go out even if I can’t.”
“Calm down first.” General Xiao gritted his teeth and advised, ‘My niece-in-law is good at martial arts. How can she be in danger so easily? Don’t fall into someone else’s trap.”
Song Jingchen was stunned. He rubbed his hand on the hairpin and turned to look at General Xiao. “Uncle Xiao is right.”
General Xiao was speechless. Wasn’t he too easy to persuade?
On the altar, Shangguan Pu said bitterly, “Third Brother, you’re really bold. You actually dared to disobey Father’s decree and rob the execution ground. Are you trying to rebel?”
Prime Minister Liu also said righteously, “Lord Rui, even if you are unhappy that Your Majesty asked Lord Jing to supervise the country, you shouldn’t have conspired with criminals to frame others. ”
He was prepared to directly attribute Shangguan Heng’s actions to his jealousy because he did not receive the responsibility of overseeing the country. At that time, no matter what the old prince said, he could say that it was slander. Even if he brought out evidence, he could say that it was fake.
After all, Shangguan Heng dared to ignore the imperial edict and rob the execution ground. What else could he not do?
Shangguan Heng was so angry that he fell back. He had never seen anyone so good at playing the blame game.
Besides, he wasn’t the one who kidnapped the old prince. He was the one who picked him up.
However, no one would believe him even if he said it, and it was not important.
He pushed through the crowd and walked to the old prince’s side. “Granduncle, tell me, who harmed my father? And who captured those women?”
“No, I didn’t do it.” The old prince was still intermediately afraid of the guillotine and kept shaking his head.
Shangguan Heng rolled his eyes. This was the only thing he knew how to say when he found this man. He even said, “It’s Lord Jing, Lord Jing did everything.”
Now, he didn’t even know how to say the most important sentence?
“Tell me who did it,” Shangguan Heng reminded her in a low voice.
The old prince was stunned. He looked up and met Shangguan Puts warning gaze. His eyes turned red as he pushed the person beside him away and rushed onto the stage.. “I’m going to kill you!”
