Chapter 432 Xie Xing was only allowed to leave because she was pregnant with Prince Jin's child
Upon hearing this, Song Qingyang glared angrily at Luo Hanfeng: "What do you mean by that, Seventh Prince?"
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you with all my heart, and Heaven and Earth bear witness to this!"
Luo Hanfeng ignored him and turned to look at the emperor: "Previously, Song Qingyu was introduced to the disaster relief efforts by Prince Jin and successfully entered the cabinet."
"According to my understanding, Song Qing is the adopted brother of the fifth young lady of the Xie family, and Xie Xing has a close relationship with Prince Jin. This... is really hard to believe that the two are not related."
Upon hearing this, the Chu Emperor's gaze fell upon Song Qingyang.
Song Qingyang lifted his long robe and knelt before the emperor. "Seventh Prince, you must speak with evidence. To speak nonsense in court without evidence is a serious crime, as is bribing His Majesty!"
Luo Hanfeng narrowed his eyes, looking at Song Qingyang dangerously: "Is Song Qing threatening me, the prince?"
"Wei Chen dare not."
"Alright." Emperor Chu raised his hand, glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and said, "Since neither of you trusts the other, then you two will handle this matter."
"Yes." Luo Hanfeng readily agreed upon hearing this.
Song Qingyang knelt in the hall, raised his head and gave Luo Hanfeng a gloomy look.
After the morning court session.
Song Qingyang walked ahead, with Xie Yuhe quickly catching up behind him.
"Song Qingyang".
Xie Yuhe called out to Song Qingyang.
"Thank you, Young Master Xie." Song Qingyang politely returned Xie Yuhe's greeting.
Song Qingyang said helplessly, "Our two families are already in this kind of relationship, so let's skip these formalities."
Song Qingyang remained silent.
He still had a cold face and didn't give Xie Yuhe a friendly look.
Seeing this, Xie Yuhe said helplessly, "The way things have turned out is an outcome that none of us wanted to see."
As he spoke, he looked around, moved closer to Song Qingyang, and whispered, "I wonder if Brother Song has heard from the Heart's Voice that Prince Jin will eventually die at the Star-Picking Tower?"
Song Qingyang then glanced at Xie Yuhe: "What does Xie Shaoqing mean?"
Xie Yuhe said, "If Prince Jin really died at Zhaixing Tower as he said, it would be dangerous for us."
"Luo Hanfeng will not let any of us off the hook. We cannot repeat the same mistakes that happened in the story."
"Prince Jin cannot die; we must find a way to save him."
Song Qingyang sighed softly.
Even if Xie Yuhe didn't say anything, he would know what to do.
only--
Song Qingyang said, "Now it's not just us who can hear Xing'er's thoughts. Don't forget, Luo Hanfeng can also hear Xing'er's thoughts."
Song Qingyang still couldn't understand it.
It's one thing that the three Song brothers and the three Xie brothers could hear Xie Xing's thoughts, but why could Jun Lanjin and Luo Hanfeng hear them too?
If the two of them can hear each other's thoughts, why can't others hear them?
What exactly is the principle behind it?
Xie Yuhe said, "So we still need to discuss with Brother Song what we should do next."
Song Qingyang looked up and saw that Luo Hanfeng was looking in their direction not far away.
Song Qingyang's expression turned cold, and he looked in that direction.
Xie Yu paused, then looked up and followed Song Qingyang's gaze, also seeing Luo Hanfeng.
His expression also turned cold.
Luo Hanfeng then swaggered over to the two of them.
"I wonder what Xie Shaoqing and Song Qing are talking about. They are so engrossed in their conversation that they don't even notice that the ministers around them have all left?"
Song Qingyang looked at Luo Hanfeng expressionlessly and said, "There's no need for the Seventh Prince to worry about that."
Luo Hanfeng smiled and said, "This prince naturally wants to share the burden for my father. If any ministers gather together to plot something bad, then things will be hard to explain."
Xie Yuhe: "Seventh Prince, don't talk nonsense."
Luo Hanfeng looked at the two of them and then smiled gently, "It's just that I'm overthinking things. After all, your Song family and Xie family have a sister in common, so it's inevitable that you'll get together and talk about her."
Seeing Luo Hanfeng like this, Song Qingyang was furious.
He slowly clenched his fist.
Regardless of the previous assassination attempt or what he did to Xie Xing now, Song Qingyang will not let Luo Hanfeng off easily.
After staring intently at Luo Hanfeng for a while, he loosened his clenched fist, looked up at the sky, and smiled, "Tonight there is a conjunction of the seven stars. His Majesty ordered the Imperial Observatory to observe the stars this morning. I wonder what the result will be."
"However, a prince like the Seventh Prince, who has never attended a private school and has always been confined to the Cold Palace, probably wouldn't understand astronomy, right?"
Now, it was Luo Hanfeng's turn to lose his smile.
Song Qingyang flicked his official robe and said, "Your Highness should worry more about yourself instead of meddling in other people's business. You should improve yourself and read more books."
After saying that, Song Qingyang turned and left.
Xie Yuhe remained where he was.
Xie Yuhe was no better off than Song Qingyang; his expression was indifferent: "Your Highness, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he followed Song Qingyang and left.
Luo Hanfeng watched the two figures leave, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
“You can’t do anything to them now.” Wen Yan appeared behind Luo Hanfeng at some point. He looked at the two figures as they left and said with a smile, “There aren’t many people the emperor can use in the court right now. If we kill these two, there will be no one to check the other forces.”
"When the court and the country are in chaos, even if you ascend the throne, you will only have a ravaged empire."
Luo Hanfeng took a deep breath and suppressed the killing intent in his heart.
He said coldly, "Of course I know."
"It's good that you know." Wen Yan crossed her arms. "I don't know what the Emperor and Jun Lanjin are planning. The Emperor actually made a move against Jun Lanjin at this time."
"I can't figure it out."
Luo Hanfeng sneered: "It's nothing more than putting on a show for others, luring the snake out of its hole."
Given the power Jun Lanjin wields, even setting aside the emperor's trust and fondness for him, the emperor would never dare to lay a hand on Jun Lanjin simply because of the power he holds.
Wen Yan said, "I don't think so. After all, the Star-Picking Tower is heavily guarded. Not even a fly can get in, let alone anyone inside trying to get out."
"I heard that the Empress Dowager has also sent the young lady from the Xie family inside."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hanfeng turned his head sharply.
"What did you say?" He looked at Wen Yan with a sinister gaze, his expression twisting for a moment.
Wen Yan raised her hands and said, "You can't take your anger out on me. My informant told me that the Empress Dowager wants that girl to enter the Star-Picking Tower and get pregnant with Prince Jin's child before she can come out."
"I think Prince Jin is unlikely to be able to get out."
