Concubine's poisonous plot

Xiao Yuanan's first thought was that he couldn't admit it, he definitely couldn't admit it.

But seeing the emperor's expression and the fact that these people had been arrested, he knew that what they said was true after just one interrogation, so he had no way to deny it.

After thinking about it, he knelt down and said: "Father, I told you before that I was willing to marry the princess of Xiqin, but my aunt directly decided on Anlehou, so I thought that they should come all the way. It is better for a married woman to marry a marquis than to marry a prince..."

Xiao Yian closed his eyes, this idiot.

The ministers all looked at each other. Is it necessary to argue?

The second prince just couldn't stand Ma Mingzhen. As long as he got this marriage, he could humiliate him in the future, right?

But with his evil thoughts, did he really not think that the eldest princess would never give him this opportunity?

The emperor remained calm and asked: "So you do it out of respect for Western Qin, right?"

Xiao Yuanan thought that the emperor wanted to help him find a step, and quickly said: "Yes, father, this is what I mean..."

"Because you respect the Western Qin Dynasty, you feel that Ming Zhen's position as Marquis is not good enough and is still a bit low, right?"

The emperor's words already contained a bit of emotion, but it was a pity that Xiao Yuanan was too nervous and did not distinguish it in time.

He still nodded and said: "Yes, I feel that since Xi Qin has made her the princess, the status of a wife of a marquis seems to be a bit low."

His words made many ministers think that the second prince was mentally ill.

There is really no way to understand this brain circuit.

But there are some things they say that don’t count anyway.

The emperor leaned back, sat upright, and his eyes became sharp: "Then according to your wishes, I will directly make Ming Zhen the Duke of the country. Is the status enough? Are you questioning my decision?"

Xiao Yuanan panicked at that time, and then he realized that every question the emperor had asked just now was asked with emotion.

He said: "Father, I have no intention of doing this..."

"I think your intention is very obvious. You have tried many times to replace this marriage. Do you want Daxia to break his trust and become the laughing stock of the world?"

In response to the emperor's sudden anger, Xiao Yuanan did not dare to get up, let alone raise his head.

"Come here, drag this traitor out, beat him hard instead of with a big board, and let the queen take good care of him. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed."

The emperor was in a bad mood at this time, so he naturally wanted to have someone operated on.

Obviously, these people's actions hit the point of the gun.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Yian did not help to plead for mercy. He himself felt that he was going to be dragged down.

Sure enough, after the emperor dealt with Xiao Yuanan, he asked him: "Yi'an, has your second brother discussed these matters with you?"

"Returning to my father, if I had known the slightest bit of information, things like today would not have happened."

He was already resenting Xiao Jinyao in his heart. Since no damage was caused, the matter could be settled privately. There was no need to make such a big fanfare, and all the ministers were witnesses. How could Xiao Yuanan establish his authority in front of everyone?

They are all brothers, is it necessary to be so cruel?

He had never thought that Xiao Yuanan and Xiao Xiang'er had never regarded Xiao Jinyao as their cousin. They only had Xiao Luofan in their hearts.

"Hmph, be responsible. This marriage was decided by the previous generation. There is no way to change it. I still want to replace Ming Zhen..."

The emperor didn't say the rest, but Xiao Yian had already figured it out on his own.

He did feel ashamed to have such a younger brother.

After Xiao Yuanan was dragged back to the harem, the Queen Mother and Queen Wei were alarmed.

They all came to visit this noble prince, and they all felt distressed when they saw how badly he was beaten.

But as soon as they asked why the emperor beat him, their expressions changed again.

Queen Wei instantly understood why Wei Shutong was in the court but did not help to plead for mercy.

It is estimated that in Wei Shutong's eyes, such a punishment is already considered light.

"You really succeed more than you can accomplish, and you actually use such a method. A woman you have never met before is worthy of such a calculation, even if you don't want the state body?" Queen Wei asked disappointedly.

She knew that her second son was not as smart as her eldest son and rarely tolerated it, but she never thought that she could make such a stupid mistake.

The Queen Mother was also full of resentment towards him, because what he wanted to rob was her grandson's marriage.

She stepped forward and slapped him again, not caring that Xiao Yuanan was not feeling well at this time.

"You heartless thing, the Yi family has finally found their grandson, but before they get close to him, you helped the Ai family to push him away first. The Ai family wants to see, your aunt came to the palace to ask for help. When you want to speak the Dharma, who can help you?"

Xiao Yuanan became even more nervous when he heard this.

Just thinking about the eldest princess's oppressive face makes me feel suffocated.

I was really hot-headed before and forgot about this.

Xiao Xiang'er, who came after hearing the news, happened to come in. When he saw his miserable appearance, he said directly: "Oh my God, why did the beating happen like this... My father was too cruel this time. It's all because of that sick boy Xiao Jinyao..."

Her words made the whole scene become silent again.

Both the Queen Mother and Queen Wei expressed disappointment, which could be seen in their eyes.

"Xian'er, when did I teach you to talk like this? You are a legitimate princess, how can you be taught like this?"

Queen Wei looked at her seriously and asked.

Xiao Xiang'er stuck out her tongue. Just after she finished speaking, she already realized that something was wrong, but she could never take back what she had said.

"Mother, I was too anxious just now. The second brother's injury was too serious. He is a majestic prince. How could the father have the heart to beat him like this... Besides, this was Xiao Jinyao's fault in the first place. He caught the second brother. Those people can just tell the second brother in private not to do this, but they have to expose the matter. Originally, people in Western Qin didn't know about it, and they wouldn't be embarrassed. Now people in Western Qin will know about it, and it will make us Daxia even more embarrassed. It’s embarrassing and it ruins my second brother’s reputation, he is just bad.”

Although she spoke impulsively and with obvious personal grudges, these contents are indeed thought-provoking.

Xiao Jinyao did have a better choice that could save face for each other, but he didn't choose it. Instead, he chose the most inappropriate way.

"We can all understand that she is not close to us, but is he really happy when we are embarrassed?" Xiao Xiang'er was still complaining.

Xiao Yuanan, who was lying there, hated Xiao Jinyao even more. He even thought that when he became the prince in the future, the first person he wanted to kill would be Xiao Jinyao.
