REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
57. Nangong Xi Come
"What brought you two here ? " Ask the Emperor in a low tone and looked unenthusiastic.
"Your Majesty, today me and Wangye intend to walk the path together. But, inadvertently we saw the commotion that occurred at the residence of Mayor Guan. " Chang Rui said softly.
The Emperor frowned and looked towards Guan Chong who had been sweating coldly.
Because at this moment, Guan Chong was being threatened whether his position would be revoked or not.
"Oh ? What happened to Mayor Guan ? Can you explain it ?" Asked the Emperor coldly.
"This is my fault ! I could not resist my son's behavior and had him risk the Mayor's courtyard which the Empire had given to a criminal surnamed Tu. " Guan Chong replied in tears and threw himself in front of the Emperor's throne.
The Emperor seemed heartless and unaffected by this.
"How could you not report this personally and choose to keep it ?! Do you think you can cover the sky with a palm ?" Tegur Eunuch Liu.
"I'm sorry about this servant ! This is my fault !" Guan Chong cried out in fear.
"Not only that, Mayor Guan, unfortunately did not act in time and was unable to silence Tu's criminal lips. " Chang Rui said flatly.
"Mayor Guan let the thug Tu insult His Majesty and did not immediately tell the guards, even the criminals and the cause of this matter were still roaming, he said, it scares me that this will spread and make His Majesty's reputation worse in the eyes of the people. " Continue Chang Rui.
"Did your son get a sentence ?" Ask the Emperor Guan Chong.
The Emperor obviously wanted to save Guan Chong because Guan Chong was the one planted by the Emperor himself.
But, Chang Rui insisted on slapping the Emperor's face blatantly at this moment to warn the Emperor that, he still had some ability.
"Yes, yes, I locked him up for three days !" Guan Chong.
" It seems that this is a mistake, Your Majesty. If I'm not mistaken, then this commotion only started 2 days ago. If Young Master Guan is detained then he should still be under house arrest right ? But, before I left earlier, he just stood up and watched. Mayor Guan, do you not look at His Majesty at all ?" Ask Chang Rui.
The Emperor looked at Guan Chong with a reproachful look and Guan Chong instantly trembled.
"This is my fault! I couldn't bear to see my son suffer and wanted to continue protecting him so that he had grown to be lawless !" Guan Chong continued to bang his head against the ground.
"Of course, parental affection for his Son will not be measured by words. I understand how Mayor Guan feels, but you are the one who was given the responsibility by His Majesty personally. How can you not tell which is work and which is personal affection ? It seems, Mayor Guan's health is not very good, what about resting at the residence ?" Chang Rui asked with a meaningful smile.
Guan Chong had no words to refute and could only tremble in fear.
The Emperor looked at Chang Rui angrily and intended to beat Chang Rui to death.
"Shut up !" The Emperor's orders to suppress his anger.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I'm too presumptuous. Mayor Guan is the chosen man of the Son of Heaven, I should not have interfered so insolently. " Chang Rui said with a double meaning.
Chang Rui carried the intention that the person the Emperor chose was a person who could not be bothered, of course the Emperor could feel what Chang Rui was trying to convey in his insinuation.
(Son of heaven is another name for Emperor. )
Tu Yuan was dragged in by Xu Liang and Fu Qing, Tu Yuan seemed to have been battered in the hands of Xu Liang and Fu Qing.
"Take me off ! You bastard ! The Crown Prince is the one behind me ! " Shouted Tu Yuan.
The atmosphere became silent before finally a man entered the Emperor Hall.
"Ayahanda, this son has heard the arrival of his fourth sister and sister-in-law. Didn't expect to meet this guy full of shit. " Said Nangong Xi.
"Crown Prince. " Chang Rui said while looking down.
"Sister-in-law looks brighter, am I going to get a niece soon ?" Nangong Xi asked with a forced smile.
Chang Rui laughed in shame and lowered his head while holding his stomach.
"With the prayers of His Majesty and the Crown Prince then I believe there will be a little angel in the middle of our happy little family. " Chang Rui said with shame like a real girl.
Nangong Li just kept silent from earlier and held onto Chang Rui's hand tightly, Nangong Xi hoped that all this was just a lie.
But, looking at Nangong Li's hand grasping Chang Rui's hand tightly made things clearer.
Nangong Xi silently thought of an evil plan inwardly, since Nangong Li valued Chang Rui so much, it meant adding a single point of weakness for Nangong Li.
"Crown Prince ! How could you try to burn the bridge after passing through it ?!" Snapped Tu Yuan with a look of disbelief.
"What does it mean to burn a bridge after passing it ? Hmph ! Trying to frame me, you better tell yahh the truth. " Said Nangong Li coldly but did not lose his composure.
Nangong Li's hand clenched tightly and made Chang Rui's delicate hand experience unbearable pain.
But, Chang Rui remained silent and broke down showing anything.
"You better not do anything stupid or I'll yell here and reveal all the weirdness between us. " Whisper Chang Rui with a warning.
"To make me here, I'll give you a gift. " Reply Nangong Li in a low tone.
Chang Rui closed his eyes and knew that Nangong Li would not let go of this grudge easily, no matter what awaited him at the residence later.
Honestly speaking, Chang Rui did not dare to imagine it because Nangong Li was good at manipulating others.
"At the moment, I'm in bad shape. I'll ask the Head of the Law Bureau to handle this. " Said the Emperor.
The Emperor could not find a way out for Guan Chong and Nangong Li coughed coughingly.
"Please say hello to Your Majesty, Wangye's situation has deteriorated after being exposed to sunlight for a long time. Please understand you and your generosity. " Chang Rui said.
"Yes, go home and dress warmly. " Say the Emperor with some kind of emotion in his eyes.
Chang Rui saw everything clearly and decided to keep this matter in his heart.
