Attack

"Did you hear what the Queen Mother said?" The emperor looked at Zhongyihou again, "I want to give your daughter to Prince An as his concubine. When you go back, you should discipline your daughter well and don't have too many thoughts."

Once Zhongyi Hou heard the emperor's words, then Gu Xi, the princess of Anjun, was a sure thing.

That's Prince An.

Although he is a county king and has no real power, he is favored by the Holy Heart. Moreover, this man is so fierce and protective of his shortcomings.

Zhongyi Hou thought that Prince An would definitely feel humiliated once he asked Gu Xi to be his concubine, so he turned pale and trembled all over.

This, this, if he had entered the palace an hour earlier, he would not have ended up in this situation!

"I obey my orders!" Zhongyi Hou felt regretful and afraid. He thanked him tremblingly and was about to leave.

However, the Queen Mother felt that this man was holding back something important. How could she let him go so easily? She scolded him,

"Zhongyi Hou, do you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor will lead to the destruction of the family and the annihilation of the clan? Are you sure you didn't hide anything about Gu Xi?

If you confess now, the Ai family can still ask the emperor to forgive you, but then the Ai family will find out, and you..."

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Queen Mother, please forgive me!" Zhongyihou was so frightened by the Queen Mother's small temptation and threats that he knelt down and tried everything on the ground.

"Mrs. Xie came today to take her son Xie Hongbao's daughter Gu Xi as a concubine. Wei Chen just agreed to her before entering the palace."

"Hongbao also wants Gu Xi?!" When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he realized that this was not two men fighting for a woman, but three men.

Moreover, Xie Hongbao succeeded in making her a concubine, while his son and nephew also wanted her to be his concubine.

This, who is this humiliating?

"You are so loyal and loyal! It turns out that the majesty of my royal family is not as high as that of General Xie in your heart. It is really good that you humiliate my two grandchildren like this!"

The Queen Mother's face was ashen, she pointed at Zhongyi Hou and suddenly became angry.

In fact, the Empress Dowager had two purposes in questioning Zhongyi Hou. One was to protect Gu Xi, and the other was to attack General Xie and try to make the emperor angry towards him, thereby creating resentment and fear.

The Queen Mother knew very well that Prince Ning was accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason this time. Although the biggest culprit was the emperor, General Xie was the main executor.

If this little thing can make the emperor resentful of General Xie, then the Queen Mother will say that it is worth it and she will also mark Gu Xi's head.

Living up to the Queen Mother's expectations, after hearing the Queen Mother's words, the Emperor's already ugly face almost dripped with gloom. He stared at Zhongyi Hou and shouted angrily,

"Honor Zhongyi, please give me a good explanation, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"

"Wei Chen didn't, Wei Chen didn't dare! Before Wei Chen agreed to Mrs. Xie, he had no idea that the Sixth Prince and Prince An were also attracted to my daughter, let alone that they would ask to marry her as their concubine!"

Zhongyi was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy. Panic and regret overwhelmed him, and at the same time, he also developed resentment towards Gu Xi.

He felt that this matter might have been planned by Gu Xi. Before Mrs. Xie came to the door, she must have known that the Sixth Prince and the others would ask to marry her.

If she told her, how could he agree to Mrs. Xie, let alone fall into this situation.

"Sophistry! Everyone in the Ai family knows that the Sixth Prince has always admired Gu Xi. The Ai family just heard that Prince An also openly said that he would protect her a few days ago. How could you not know!

You already have feelings of admiration. Even if you don’t know that they will ask for marriage today, won’t they do it in the future?

The Ai family understands, and the emperor also understands that you just fancy that General Xie has real power and want to use a daughter to win over his son and gain his connections so that you can be promoted easily!"

Zhongyihou's face turned pale with fright, and he could not say any sophistry. He just kowtowed and begged the emperor for his life.

The emperor had a sullen face and said nothing, but his anger level continued to rise, and it continued to transfer from the loyal and righteous marquis to General Xie.

In particular, it has been several days, and Xie Changfeng promised to catch Prince Ning, but now there is no news at all, and the emperor was originally dissatisfied.

Knowing that his own ministers held Xie Changfeng in such high esteem and even said some heartbreaking words, in the hearts of the officials below, his majesty to Xie Changfeng was even greater than that of the emperor!

Will Xie Changfeng be the next King Ning?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his anger kept rising.

At this moment, the chamberlain came in and announced that General Xie had arrived at the door and was waiting to see him.

"Let him in!" the emperor said angrily.

The Queen Mother glanced sideways at the Emperor, feeling very satisfied that the hook had been successfully lowered.

Xie Changfeng walked in with a proud look on his face, taking long strides and holding his chin up. He did not kneel down, but only cupped his fists to salute the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

However, he was still a little surprised when he saw the Queen Mother.

After all, in this sensitive period of arresting Prince Ning, there is no reason for the Emperor to meet the Queen Mother.

"The General is so majestic. He didn't even kneel down when he saw me and the Queen Mother." The Emperor snorted angrily and said.

When Xie Changfeng heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt down and saluted, "It's a humble minister who has been rude. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

This was not the first time that he saw the emperor not kneeling. The emperor had never said anything before.

She even refused to let him see her sometimes in order to show her closeness. Why did she suddenly get angry today?

Moreover, when the emperor saw him in the past, he would call him "uncle" in private, but the call he just made "General" was strange and very angry.

Does the emperor blame him for not arresting Prince Ning yet?

As for Zhongyi Hou, who was kneeling next to him and shivering, Xie Changfeng didn't even look at him. Such a small official who had made mistakes was not worthy of his attention.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have some clues about Prince Ning's whereabouts. They will definitely be able to catch him in a few days!" Xie Changfeng said bluntly, not caring about the Queen Mother who was standing by.

When the emperor heard this, he chuckled mockingly,

"The general told me the same thing a few days ago. A few days have passed, and the general is still saying the same thing, and there has been no progress at all.

I think the general is not dedicated enough at all, he is busy with other things, and he does not forget to establish his majesty so that the people below will obey his orders and no longer take me or the royal family seriously!"

The emperor's ridicule and scolding made Xie Changfeng confused as to why the emperor was so angry.

But he wasn't too afraid. After all, he was used to being relied on by the emperor. He felt that he could control the emperor, so he really didn't take the emperor too seriously.

"Your Majesty, you have wronged a humble minister. Prince Ning was seriously injured and his life was at stake. He must be hiding somewhere to recuperate, so he is hard to find.

Wei Chen has been trying to arrest Prince Ning these past few days, but he has no other intentions, but he hasn’t even returned to his house."

Xie Changfeng felt quite aggrieved. He had been exhausted recently.

When the Queen Mother heard Xie Changfeng's words, her heart suddenly tightened, and the pain almost made her suffocate. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly to prevent herself from losing her composure.
