Chapter 288: Successful Counterattack
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That’s right. The most terrifying thing in the entire matter was not the crime of deceiving the emperor, nor was it the crime of him “colluding” with the Qin family.
As long as he was still useful, Emperor Jing Xuan would not take his life.
He had enough ways to clear his name.
But the three children…
!!
He could not let Emperor Jing Xuan notice the three children!
Eunuch Quan entered with sweat all over his forehead and bowed respectfully.
“Your Majesty! I’ve brought them!”
Old Master Su and Brother Su were brought into the imperial study.
On the way here, Eunuch Quan repeatedly reminded the two of them to follow the rules. They must not offend the emperor and remember to kowtow.
The two of them were honest farmers. It was already scary enough to see the Marquis in the capital. Now that they had entered the palace and were about to meet Emperor Jingxuan…
Their legs were too weak to stand up, and they fell to the ground when they got out of the carriage.
The eunuchs supported them for a long time. Eunuch Quan said all kinds of good and bad things. He knocked and reminded them before finally comforting the two of them.
“Come in and kneel,” Eunuch Quan reminded softly, his eyebrows filled with disdain.
The two of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed!
Emperor Jing Xuan raised his hand.
The two of them did not dare to look up, so they naturally did not see it.
Eunuch Quan glanced at them. The two of them were too nervous and only cared about kowtowing.
Eunuch Fu said, “There’s no need to kowtow.”
Only then did the two of them stop. They looked up curiously at the man on the dragon throne.
Eunuch Quan coughed heavily. “Ahem!”
The two of them suddenly remembered Eunuch Quan’s reminder—don’t look directly at the holy face.
Old Master Su and Eldest Brother Su hurriedly lowered their heads and trembled!
Consort Xian covered her nose with a handkerchief in disdain. Country bumpkins stank!
Old Master Su and Brother Su were so frightened that they broke out in a sweat.
Eunuch Fu’s expression did not change. When Eunuch Quan saw that they had provoked Consort Xian, he was so angry that he glared at the two of them!
Wei Ting’s expression was as calm as ever, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
“Your Majesty, quickly interrogate them, ” Concubine Xian said coquettishly. She really couldn’t stand the unpleasant smell on the two of them. Jingxuan Emperor Dynasty Wei Ting looked at him deeply. “Wei Ting, I gave you a chance.”
“Your Majesty!” Concubine Xian urged.
She had already brought the witness! She could not give Wei Ting a chance to admit his mistake!
The military power of the Qin family and the Su family belonged to her son. How dare a young son of the Wei family snatch things from his son?
What nonsense!
Emperor Jing Xuan’s gentle gaze landed on Old Master Su and Brother Su. “What are your names? Where are you from?”
This was the emperor. The emperor’s aura made the two of them almost unable to breathe.
Old Master Su kowtowed again and said shakily, “I… I… Su Gu. He’s my eldest grandson… Brother… Brother Su… We’re from Apricot Flower Village in
Qingzhou. ”
“From the same village as Su Cheng?” Emperor Jing Xuan asked.
Old Master Su had heard Su Cheng’s name for half his life. In the past, he only felt disdain. Now, he knew that he was not worthy.
Old Master Su replied in fear and trepidation, “Yes… we used to live in a village… After that… they moved to the capital…”
Emperor Jing Xuan said, “Do you know someone called Wei Ting?”
