Chapter 46: Hu Shanxiang’s voice!
Mingde Palace.
"Rebellious son! How could you do such a rebellious thing?"
"How dare you say that? Do you really want to die? You are a descendant of the royal family, and you rely on your grandfather's name to do such a thing. You are really fearless!"
Hu Shanxiang knew how much trouble Xiao Ding had caused her. If this matter were reported to the emperor , Xiao Ding might be fine, but she would be different.
The punishment could be mild, such as exile to the cold palace, or serious, such as beheading.
At least what I said just now has removed Hu Zhenghe from the picture.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. I was just jealous of my brother and said those words in the heat of the moment. I have already apologized to my brother!"
"Please punish me, mother!"
Xiao Ding knew that he had to show the right attitude at this time, otherwise the matter would be difficult to deal with.
"I don't have the final say on this matter. It depends on what the prince says. Prince, you should punish me!"
"But please show some mercy, Prince. After all, you are brothers!"
Xiao Yan sneered. There is no father and son in the royal family, let alone brothers. Are there still a few brothers who turn against each other because of that position?
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Xiao Ding is my younger brother. I am also responsible for not teaching him well. Let's just leave it at that!"
"But the punishment that is due must out. Go back and copy the ancestral precepts of our Great Zhou ten times. Remember, our Great Zhou has never relied on outsiders to get to where it is today."
"I know your mentality very well, but as you said, this position is occupied by the capable. It's not about who has strong connections, but about skills!"
These words were naturally addressed to Hu Shanxiang, who also heard the threatening tone in them.
"Yes, brother is willing to be punished!"
Hu Shanxiang became more and more angry the more she thought about it. If she was caught, she would just have to lower her head. It was really infuriating that she said such outrageous words.
"Get out of here!"
Hu Shanxiang was also unwilling to see Xiao Ding's current behavior, so she quickly kicked him out!
After Xiao Ding left, Xiao Yan started laughing.
"I never thought that my second brother would be so bold and dare to say such words. Could it be that the Empress taught him?"
Hu Shanxiang frowned. If this were to be known by others and even reached the ears of the emperor, it would be a disastrous event.
Once she entered the palace, it was natural that the mother would be honored because of her son. Xiao Ding could not reach that position, so she would always be a noble concubine.
However, since she gave birth to a prince, she could enjoy the rest of her life.
But people are greedy. Once they have something good, they want to pursue something better.
However, through today's incident, he knew that Hu Zhenghe's purpose in assisting Xiao Ding must not be simple.
If Xiao Ding died, the remaining princes would not be able to compete with Xiao Yan, so who would give up the power when the time comes?
I'm afraid Hu Zhenghe's real purpose is to reach that position.
If her son takes the throne, she will be the queen. If her father takes the throne, she will at best be just a princess, and a princess that no one cares about.
There is a world of difference between the two, and it is very clear how to choose Hu Shanxiang.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. I don't have the courage to do that. This is punishable by death!"
"Thank you, Prince, for sparing Ding'er!"
Xiao Yan stood up and walked to Hu Shanxiang's side, saying, "Hey, what is our relationship? Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yan's hand climbed up Hu Shanxiang's waist again. Hu Shanxiang was about to scream, but Xiao Yan covered her mouth!
"Your Highness, please think carefully. If you shout this out, everyone will know it."
"Your Majesty must be very clear about the crime of seducing the prince!"
"Besides, don't you think you need to come up with something to shut me up about what happened today?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yan's hand couldn't help but reach upwards.
Hu Shanxiang was also trembling with fear. Although she hated Xiao Yan in her heart, she knew that what Xiao Yan said was right.
I can't afford to lose this person, and if I am really accused of seduction by Xiao Yan, I will never be able to turn things around.
Fortunately, I just accepted my fate and closed my eyes.
At this time, Xiao Yan whispered in his ear: "That's right, this is good, good children get candy!"
Just when Xiao Yan's hands were about to reach the top, Hu Shanxiang grabbed his hands.
"Prince, think carefully. I am the emperor's concubine, your father's woman. Do you think you can touch me?"
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Yan opened his hand, and Hu Shanxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was extremely nervous just now.
"Your Highness's appearance is indeed pitiful, but what you said makes some sense!"
"But you still have to take some of today's interest." Then he hugged Hu Shanxiang into his arms again.
Hu Shanxiang's body suddenly tensed up and she became even more nervous. She thought Xiao Yan would let her go today.
This time she really accepted her fate and closed her eyes, letting Xiao Yan do whatever he wanted.
"Like I said before, your Majesty is really smooth!"
Just when she thought Xiao Yan would take a further step, she saw Xiao Yan raise the thing in his hand, and Hu Shanxiang was immediately filled with shame and anger.
I don't know when the small tight pants I was wearing were taken off by Xiao Yan.
"Why must the prince humiliate me like this?"
"You have already collected the interest you are supposed to collect. What else do you want? Do you really want to force me to perish with you?"
Xiao Yan smiled and tucked the small pants into his sleeves.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? We are in the same boat now. How can I force you?"
"You know very well what I want, and I also know very well what you want. As for what Hu Zhenghe wants, the Queen and I both know it!"
"So, who do you think will take this position?"
As soon as this question came up, Hu Shanxiang quickly put her clothes in order.
"I don't understand what the prince is saying!"
Xiao Yan laughed.
"My lady, please stop pretending. You and I both know the truth, so why do you have to do this?"
"Your Majesty simply does not have any evidence. If you had evidence to bring me down, I'm sure you would not be merciful."
"But I am different. If I say one word today, my second brother will probably die. Don't you think this is the truth?"
Hu Shanxiang frowned when she heard this. She didn't know what Xiao Yan was trying to do and felt unsure.
"What do you want to say? Why don't you be more straightforward?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "It's simple. Take down Hu Zhenghe, your father!"
"With him here, it's very easy for either you or me to get that position!"
Seeing Xiao Yan speak out, Hu Shanxiang still felt that it would be better to be cautious.
"I am really confused by what the prince said!"
After saying this, Xiao Yan turned around.
"Confused? Then how about I let you experience the true confusion?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Hu Shanxiang quickly said, "Don't worry, Prince. I'll tell you!"
She was really afraid of Xiao Yan, so she had to speak out her true feelings.
