Chapter 436 Entering the Palace to Ask for Punishment
Jia Cong brought the You sisters back to the mansion . After entering the house, Jia Cong put the third sister You down and said, "You can stay in the mansion today."
"Master, what about you?" asked Sister You San.
"I will go to the palace!"
"Did we cause trouble for the master?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I guess so!"
After saying this, he ignored the two of them and rode out of the house and headed straight for the palace.
Third Sister You's expression changed, and then she pulled Second Sister You towards the back house. As soon as they entered the inner hall, they saw Youshi waiting anxiously.
Seeing the two girls returning, Youshi went to greet them crying.
You Erjie also hugged Youshi and cried bitterly. However, although You Sanjie was a little frightened when she came to her senses, she was still calm.
After a while, Third Sister You finally spoke, "Sister, Second Sister and I are fine. The master rescued us."
"Where is the master?" Youshi asked hurriedly.
Third Sister You whispered, "We caused a lot of trouble for the master. In order to save us, the master not only killed many people, but also offended the third prince. So after sending us back to the mansion, he entered the palace."
At this point, Third Sister You clenched her fists and said, "If the emperor wants to punish the master, then I will pay with my life. I can't let the master be punished because of us. My life was saved by the master, and it is worth it to repay the master's kindness with my life."
Youshi's expression also changed drastically, "Let's go back and wait."
…
Jia Cong walked all the way to the outside of the palace. It was already dark and the palace gate was about to close. The guards at the gate saw Jia Cong coming and hurried forward to inquire.
However, before he could move forward, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
The guard looked back and saw the chief steward Xia Shouzhong coming hurriedly.
"Oh, my lord, you are finally here. His Majesty was very angry just now." Xia Shouzhong said anxiously.
Jia Cong replied, "Excuse me, sir. I am here to apologize to your majesty."
"Hey! My Lord, please come with me to see His Majesty first!"
The two of them came all the way to the rear hall of the Dragon Head Palace. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Emperor Longxing roaring at him, "Well, well, you, the Champion Marquis, have grown wings! You kill innocent people indiscriminately and act arrogantly. Who gave you the courage? I wish I could chop you off right now!"
"How will the people view me and the court if you behave so recklessly? As my Marquis of Guanjun, is this how you serve me?"
To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, Emperor Longxing really didn't care how many people died! Which person in power didn't step on countless corpses to get to the top? If Jia Cong was a soft persimmon, he would be even angrier. But now he was angry because Jia Cong's method was too idiotic. He killed so many people in broad daylight. If you say that the people in Juxianzhuang deserved to die, but the people may not think so.
With such a reputation for wanton killing, how could he inherit the throne in the future? Who, whether the common people or the civil and military officials, would be willing to let an executioner become emperor? This was what angered him the most at the moment.
If it was done in secret, he could just kill her and close his eyes and pretend he didn't know, and the matter would be over. But now, this wicked man has exposed the matter, which makes it difficult for him.
"Get out! Get out and kneel down. Xia Shouzhong, watch out for me! No one is allowed to report the news to the queen."
The corner of Xia Shouzhong's eyes twitched. He was indeed his biological son. Was that the end of it?
"My Lord..."
After Jia Cong saluted Emperor Longxing, he followed Xia Shouzhong out of the hall and knelt outside the hall.
Not long after, another person appeared outside the hall. It was Li Yu, who hated Jia Cong with gnashing teeth.
"Humph!" Li Yu sneered at Jia Cong, and then said to the eunuch at the door, "I have something important to report to my father."
The eunuch did not dare to neglect it and hurried in to report. A moment later, the roar of Emperor Longxing could be heard again in the hall, "Evil son, make him kneel outside the hall! As a prince, he got involved with a gambling house , how dare he come to see me?"
Li Yu, who was outside the palace, was very upset when he heard this. He was clearly the one who had been wronged. He tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead of the chicken. Even his grandfather and elder brother-in-law became disabled, but his father didn't even want to see him?
Little did he know that Emperor Longxing was no less angry with him than Jia Cong, and perhaps even more so.
Although Jia Cong's methods were crude, his decisive and merciless killing made Emperor Longxing satisfied. But this third son, who used methods to deal with Jia Cong, did not gain any advantage at all. He did not see the strength comparison between the two sides clearly. Moreover, how could his methods be better than Jia Cong's? It was simply a disgrace to him as an emperor.
Another point is that after what happened before, Emperor Longxing hated internal fighting or fratricide the most. Although Li Yu was a concubine's son, he would not let Li Yu suffer too much even if he wanted Jia Cong to inherit his throne. And now, Li Yu took the initiative to attack Jia Cong. What else could this be but fratricide?
In Li Yu's view, it was just dealing with his subjects, but in the eyes of Emperor Longxing, it was his two sons who were targeting each other, and it was Li Yu who took the initiative, which was simply unforgivable. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he would have wanted to demote this son to a commoner and let him accompany the other two, so that he could have less worries...
So, outside the Longshou Palace, Jia Cong and Li Yu, the two enemies, knelt outside the door on the left and right.
Jia Cong felt a little hungry, but he didn't feel any discomfort. What kind of physical condition is he in now? Although he can't say he is an iron man, he is far better than ordinary people. Let alone kneeling for one night, even kneeling for three or five days in a row would not help, but Li Yu was different.
As a prince, Li Yu had naturally been pampered since childhood. After kneeling for less than an hour, he felt that his legs were no longer his own.
He stared at Jia Cong opposite him. If eyes could not kill, Jia Cong would have died a hundred or eighty times.
It was this bastard who was the culprit. He slapped me in the face today and made me kneel here. Humph, things change over time. My two elder brothers were demoted. Now I am the only one left of my father. The throne is set in stone. When I become the emperor, not only Jia Cong, but everyone in the Jia family will die.
Jia Cong was too lazy to pay attention to Li Yu at this moment. His eyes couldn't kill anyone. In his opinion, it would be more satisfying to just go up and slap the other person. So, even though Li Yu was glaring at him with gritted teeth , he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep...
…
In Ningzheng Hall, everyone from the East Palace gathered together.
Youshi didn't dare to hide it from everyone, and after all, it was her sisters who implicated the master, so she had to face it no matter what. So, whether it was Keqing, Yuanyang, or Zhen Muring, they all came.
