Chapter 280: It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime
Meng Fengfei at the side said to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother is wise... I heard that Xiao Yiran listens to you very much. As long as we can keep the Third Princess firmly in our hands, then we can control Xie Xunfeng as we please..."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said to Xiao Shentian, "Shentian, Concubine Feng is right... What's the matter? Are you feeling a little bit sorry?"
Xiao Shentian smiled at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, how can I not bear it... Didn't you tell me before? From the beginning, treat them as chess pieces... Since the chess pieces are about to get out of control... We must squeeze out the last bit of their usefulness before they get out of control..."
After hearing what Xiao Shentian said, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are right..."
…
After five days, Xie Xunfeng and his group finally arrived in Longyang City.
After arriving in Longyang City, the Fourth Prince and Xiao Yiran were summoned into the palace by a eunuch beside the emperor.
The eunuch followed Xie Xunfeng and said that the emperor would give rewards when he went to court tomorrow.
Xie Xunfeng was not worried about Xiao Yiran.
He had already thought of various possibilities, and Xiao Yiran still thought it would be useful for them...
So they won't hurt her.
Moreover, Xie Xunfeng also asked Xiao to carry two flintlock rifles with him, so that he could face dangerous situations calmly.
Anyway, Xiao Yiran has already said everything that should be said and shouldn’t be said.
Although Xiao Yiran was unwilling to accept it, she still listened to it.
Moreover, the fourth prince Xiao Wenqin is also in the palace, so there shouldn't be any problem.
…
After watching the two of them enter the palace, Xie Xunfeng said to Shi Yan, "Let's go to Prince Guan's mansion and see Guan Chong..."
Shi Yan nodded.
They set off in a carriage and walked on the streets of Longyang City.
Xie Xunfeng saw a lot of very novel shops and stores ...
These are all signs of Cai’s.
Wherever there is a Cai Ji sign, there are long queues.
It seems that Cai Shoucai has made quite a big business.
Not only that, Xie Xunfeng also saw many dignitaries and the people following them.
Looking at the clothing and equipment, they are all from Golden Shield Security.
Not only that, there were also teams of horse-drawn carriages on the road, all of which were from the Golden Shield Security.
Unexpectedly, they all developed quite well.
Arrived at the gate of Prince Guan’s mansion.
Because Shi Yan was with him, no notification was made.
A man walked in with Shi Yan, Xie Xunfeng and Jing Fei.
After entering the Guan Lao Prince's Mansion, the servant leading the way shouted, "Master Guan, thank you for letting the hostage and General Shi come..."
After hearing the words of the servant who led the way , Lord Guan also came out to greet them...
Xie Xunfeng looked at the ugly face of Old Prince Guan and said quickly, "Old Prince Guan, I have failed to live up to your trust and have not taken good care of Prince Guan..."
Seeing Xie Xunfeng bowing and talking, the servants hurriedly supported Xie Xunfeng, and Old Prince Guan said, "Xie Zhizi, what are you talking about? How can you say that? I know the whole story of this matter... If it weren't for you, our Guan family would really be cut off..."
At this time, the old princess also came out and said, "Yes, I have seen Chong'er's injuries. If it weren't for your timely treatment, Chong'er would be in great danger. This dangerous position..."
The old prince Guan and the old princess Guan were both very polite...
Being treated so politely by these two people, Xie Xunfeng really didn't know what to say.
Princess Guan pulled Xie Xunfeng into the house.
Princess Guan said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Jizi, do His Majesty and the others know that you are back?"
Xie Xunfeng nodded, and then said to Princess Guan, "You should know. His Majesty has already invited the Fourth Prince and the Third Princess to the palace..."
After hearing this, Princess Guan had a solemn expression on her face, and then she said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Jizi, have you heard anything about what happened in the court?"
Xie Xunfeng did not hide anything from Prince Guan and Princess Guan and told them everything he knew.
After listening to this, Princess Guan nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right... Yan Song has been dismissed from office and is resting at home... The reason they gave is because of the things you did in the Great Zhou."
"Oh? Which things?" Xie Xunfeng asked curiously.
Xie Xunfeng really didn't know much about these topics...
Princess Guan said, "First of all, it was Mond who was kicked to death by you. Maybe you don't know, but Concubine Feng is Mond's sister..."
Xie Xunfeng nodded and said, "I have heard about this matter... However, my killing of Mond was an accident, and secondly, they were the ones who provoked me first..."
Princess Guan nodded and said, "We all know that, but you should be very clear... It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Later, in Diqiu City, you interfered in the internal affairs of Da Zhou and involved Da Zhou personnel in the name of Da Xia... They have now determined... It is because of your various actions that this result has occurred... So, you must be mentally prepared."
Xie Xunfeng nodded to the old Princess Guan and said, "I have already thought of a way to deal with it... It doesn't matter..."
Princess Guan looked at Xie Xunfeng's cheerful smile and asked with a hint of doubt, "Have you found a way to deal with it?"
Xie Xunfeng said to the old Princess Guan, "In fact, I have already seen it. Our current emperor is brave but not wise... In fact, he is suitable to be a general, not an emperor..."
When Xie Xunfeng said this, he subconsciously looked at Prince Guan and Princess Guan.
Looking at the two people looking at Xie Xunfeng, there was no intention of stopping him.
Xie Xunfeng was a little surprised and said to Old Prince Guan and Old Princess Guan, "Aren't you going to persuade me?"
Old Prince Guan said to Xie Xunfeng, "Xie Jizi...you are absolutely right...in fact, we already knew it..."
Xie Xunfeng nodded and continued, "Everything is decided by the Queen Mother. Actually, I know it. The Queen Mother is good at scheming, and she understands the art of being an emperor and the art of checks and balances... Before, the Queen's family, Wu Guozhang's lineage, almost had total control over the court. The Queen Mother used me..."
"However, after all these things happened, the Queen Mother realized that she could not completely control us... so she recalled Concubine Feng and the Eleventh Prince who were under his control. She wanted to support them and then see the situation in the court, and even see how I would react after I came back... If, after her evaluation, I can still be used by her, then I will be safe..."
"So, I just agree to do whatever they ask me to do, that's all... Besides, a blessing in disguise..."
