Chapter 127 - Bold

Wei Qing sneaked a glance at the panicking Xiao Hanqi, and instantly understood that these greedy officials definitely had a deep relationship with Xiao Hanqi.

Even though she was already married into the Prince Chu’s Mansion, Xiao Qingqian did not treat her well. Her father was not someone who knew what was going on, and definitely would not help a scum like Xiao Qingqian take advantage of Xiao Hanqi's weakness!

Then, how did these things end up in her father's chair?

Just as his thoughts were flying about, he heard a loud "bang" sound. Wei Qing's body was startled as she looked towards Old Emperor.

The killing intent in Old Emperor's eyes became stronger and stronger, as he stared straight at Xiao Hanqi.

"Crown Prince, you better explain it to us!"

It was likely that Xiao Qingqian brought the Assassin to the imperial court to set a trap for him.

Once he had foolishly gotten himself into that trap, he would be speechless!

"Father, I have indeed recommended these court officials. However, this person has his own ideas, so how can I be the one to make decisions?"

Xiao Hanqi knew that he would not be able to escape from today's matter, and did not have the confidence to speak anymore.

"What a great 'you can't control'!" Old Emperor squinted his eyes dangerously and raised his voice, "Could it be that you won't go and check the behavior of these court officials before recommending them?"

Wei Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

If it was her, she would definitely sincerely apologize to Old Emperor and punish herself. That way, although it looked like she had lost face, but retreating to improve would at least extinguish the fire in Old Emperor.

When he retracted his gaze, he inadvertently caught sight of the curve on the corner of Xiao Qingqian's mouth.

Could it be that Xiao Qingqian had arranged all these long ago?

However, the guards of the Prime Minister's residence were not common people. How did he sneak into the Prime Minister's mansion and hide everything?

Could it be …

The crease between her eyebrows deepened.

Maybe Xiao Qingqian had a spy in the Prime Minister's Palace?

When he thought of this possibility, Wei Qing's heart became even more anxious.

Today, Xiao Qingqian had won beautifully, not only did it enrage Xiao Hanqi, and uprooted his power, but it also made her father owe him a huge favor. No matter if he helped or not, in the eyes of others, her father was Xiao Qingqian's party!

Facing Wei Qing's gaze that was filled with hatred, Xiao Qingqian only raised his brows slightly.

Could it be that she had already guessed it?

The atmosphere in the imperial court was quite depressing.

Xiao Hanqi finally realised that begging was fine, he could just defend himself, but it would only make Old Emperor more and more angry.

Old Emperor stared at him for a while before letting out a sigh, "The crown prince has been confined to his residence for half a month, reflect on himself! As for these greedy courtiers, Prince Chu — "

Xiao Qingqian hurriedly bowed: "This son is."

These three words were spoken in a flat voice without a hint of joy.

"I order you to investigate everything and find out your conviction as soon as possible!"

Xiao Hanqi's eyes widened. He had worked so hard for many years and yet he was able to remove all of them so easily.

But, so what?

Now, even he himself was like a mudskipper crossing the river, so he could only wait and see.

Xiao Qingqian said in a low voice: "This son accepts the order, I will definitely not disappoint royal father!"

The corners of Old Emperor's forehead twitched, he rubbed them vigorously, then waved to the crowd. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a clear voice.

"Your Majesty, Wife said earlier that if we can find out that everything has nothing to do with father, Wife wants an explanation. I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers?"

Everyone looked at Wei Qing, shocked by her courage.

Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing with a deeper gaze. This woman was smart, but she had guts!

Wei Qing ignored the various gazes of the crowd and only looked at Old Emperor with a determined expression.

Old Emperor frowned. He had been an official for many years and was always upright. He definitely would not do something like this!

They were afraid that the Xie Jing's spies were deliberately slandering them, wanting to use this chance to stir up trouble between the Prime Minister Wei, Wei Jingnan and the imperial government.

The grip on the Dragon Throne's arm grew even stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Wei has been an official for many years, and is extremely cautious. He has never done anything to harm the Northern Kingdom, and is innocent! As for the two things that Prime Minister Wei had mentioned earlier, it is allowed! "

This was Old Emperor's greatest honor, but Wei Qing was not satisfied.

She had more or less known about the matters above the imperial court.

Right now, the weather was very hot. If the corpses were to be hung on the city gates, it would indeed be detrimental to the human body.

His father was wholeheartedly serving the people of the Northern Kingdom, yet in the end, he had been angered by the Old Emperor. What she wanted was the attitude of the Old Emperor!

However, this attitude was not that good!

"Your majesty, my father has been slandered for no reason! If the other ministers were to be slandered by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't the Emperor believe it as well? "

Old Emperor's face immediately sunk. This Wei Qing was getting bolder and bolder, to actually accuse him of being brainless in front of so many court officials!

The temperature in the imperial court plummeted once again. No one dared to take a deep breath for fear of being implicated.

Xiao Hanqi was happy to watch a good show. If a dignified Princess Chu like him were to be punished, it would be difficult for Xiao Qingqian to get away with it. If Xiao Qingqian pleaded for Wei Qing, he would definitely end up like himself!

Xiao Qingqian's eyes darkened, "Esteemed wangfei, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Wei Qing only raised his eyes, and looked at him without any expression, and continued: Your majesty, my father is still in the prison of Jing Zhao Prefecture, he is extremely cautious and dedicated to the Northern Kingdom, and was suddenly slandered by others. If he were to just be casually released like this, it would be hard to protect his reputation!

A glint of light flashed in the Old Emperor's eyes, and he was afraid that Wei Qing would take the opportunity to make an even more outrageous request. He hurriedly said: "We will personally go to the Capital Mansion's dungeon and fetch the Prime Minister Wei out! "If there are any rumors or rumors about him in the future, I will definitely not let them off lightly!"

Wei Qing bowed towards the Old Emperor, "Wife thanks Your Majesty on behalf of my father!"

In order to redeem Prime Minister Wei's intentions and appease the loyal court officials, Old Emperor personally made a trip to the Jing Zhao Estate and even gave a lot of rewards to the Prime Minister's Estate.

Wei Qing felt that this matter was very strange, and must definitely be related to Tian Sisi. After all, if this assassin wanted to slander his father, he should have confessed that night in palace feast.

Therefore, the moment they walked out of the palace gate, she still called out Xiao Qingqian, and asked about the doubts in her heart.

The sunlight shone down onto Wei Qing's body, covering her entire body in a layer of faint golden light, making her look extremely dazzling, causing Xiao Qingqian to be stunned for a moment.

But just when he wanted to touch Wei Qing, a huge disgust suddenly arose in his heart, and his heart was wracked with pain as well.
