Chapter 809: Punishment, whereabouts of the princess

In front of people, Xiao Tianyao never said anything. Behind their backs, Xiao Tianyao never denied his ambition.

Therefore, facing the Emperor’s oppression and calculations, Xiao Tianyao was neither angry nor sad. After the Emperor tried to kill him again and again, there was no longer brotherhood between him and the Emperor. There was only a cold struggle between them, just like the struggle between the emperor and his brothers back then.

However, the difference was that he did not fight the emperor for the east’s throne, he never put the throne in his eyes. The Emperor couldn’t afford what he wanted, what he wanted could only be attained with his own hands.

It was just a pity, the Emperor didn’t believe him, even if he told the emperor more than once that he didn’t want the throne, the Emperor didn’t believe him either, and even joined forces with foreign enemies to get rid of him.

Sometimes he couldn’t help thinking, about what kind of vision did their father have for passing the throne to the emperor, but later he understood that it was not that the father wanted to pass the throne to the emperor, but that the father had no choice. Those smart and outstanding sons of the father were all killed, leaving only him and the present sage. At that time, he was still young, and the throne could only be passed on to the present emperor.

The Emperor has seen brothers fight, and he also fought for the throne. Seeing that he holds a lot of power, even if he has no intention of taking the throne, the Emperor will not believe it.

It was the survival rule of the children of their royal family. It was better to kill by mistake rather than let it go. Today, the Emperor sits on the throne justifiably. If he wants to kill him, a younger brother who holds a lot of power, he can kill him at any time as long as he was accused of treason, and as long as he has that ability.

He was the opposite, the Emperor was the king, while he was just a minister. The king wants his minister to die, the minister has to die. Even if he can kill the Emperor today, he can’t do it, otherwise, he will be branded rebellious, and ambitious, and he will be cast aside by the people of the world to death.

As for rebelling… those who start without proper reason failed in many cases. No matter how strong his strength was, he cannot compete with the world.

Therefore, even if he had 300,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if he was above ten thousand people, he didn’t take the lead in killing the Emperor. He waited for the Emperor to persecute him, wait for civil servants and generals to be chilled, waits for the people of the world to be chilled, then he can take action, naturally, to “justify his name”.

The Emperor charged him with three crimes this time, hiding the dragon robe, accumulating wealth by betraying the country, and leading troops into the city. Except for the last one, he can easily overthrow the other two.

Where the dragon robe came from, he knows better than anyone else. How much money was there in Xiao Wangfu, how much money was the treasury, he knows better than the Minister of the Household Department. The Emperor used the money to frame him, and although it can destroy his fame, it was an unwise choice.

As for leading troops outside the capital?

This was the deadliest crime, but it was also the crime he was most afraid of. Buy how could he not know what the crime was for leading troops to the capital without permission?

He dared to bring the soldiers and horses here carelessly because he was prepared. He was not afraid that the Emperor would use this matter to convict him, but he was afraid that the emperor would not use this matter to convict him. It was like shooting a stone in your foot.

Xiao Tianyao didn’t pay attention to the moves made by the Emperor. He didn’t leave the dungeon immediately, but he just gave the Emperor time to make things big and out of control.

Only when the trouble was out of control can he show his grievances and chill the hearts of civil servants and generals.

“Where is wangfei now?” Compared with his affairs, Xiao Tianyao was more worried about Lin Chujiu’s safety.

He already knew that the Emperor would attack him, and he was prepared in advance. No matter what moves the Emperor made, he would not be afraid. However, he had prepared everything, but he forgot to communicate with Lin Chujiu in advance. If Lin Chujiu fell into the hands of the emperor, things would become very troublesome.

“Wangfei is safe now, but these subordinates don’t know where she is.” The leader of the hidden guard answered truthfully.

“Benwang asked you to protect her, don’t you know?” Xiao Tianyao’s face darkened, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

The leader of the hidden guard thumped in his heart, and hurriedly knelt to plead guilty, “This humble one failed to protect wangfei, please punish me.” In front of their prince, one was one, and two were two. If things were not done well, they were not done well. Any explanation was wrong.

“Go to the penalty hall to receive fifty lashes. After two hours, benwang must know her whereabouts.” Even when it was time to employ someone, Xiao Tianyao was not relentless.

When its time for rewards, they were rewarded. When it’s time for punishments, it’s time for punishment. If there were no meritorious deeds, then there was no meritorious reward.

Maybe in the eyes of others, he was unreasonable, but such clear rewards and punishments were indeed effective, and the chances of his subordinates making mistakes were getting smaller and smaller.

“This humble one accepts the punishment.” The leader of the hermit guard bowed and retreated.

At this time, Lin Chujiu, who was hiding in the Moon Shadow Building, encountered her biggest crisis.

After Lin Chujiu put on heavy makeup, she was already 60 to 70% similar to Miss Qiangwei. Under the dim light, as long as she was not a familiar person, no one would recognize who she was.

Afterward, with the help of the maid, Lin Chujiu learned ten percent of Miss Qiangwei’s usual behavior and words, and deeds. Unless she met someone who knows her very well. But if she doesn’t communicate with that person deeply, she will never find out that she was a fake.

Unfortunately, Lin Chujiu met someone who knew her very well and had in-depth exchanges with her. This person couldn’t tolerate Lin Chujiu, because this person was from Tiancang Pavilion.

“Huang Shanshiqi, why didn’t you report the news of Xue’s family as soon as possible!” The visitor sneaked in in the middle of the night, and the first sentence was to question. If he hadn’t spoken quickly, Lin Chujiu would have almost shot.

Combining the news that the little maid said before, Lin Chujiu probably guessed the identity of the other party, but the little maid didn’t know what Miss Qiangwei acted like in front of the people in Tiancang Pavilion. So Lin Chujiu doesn’t know how she will imitate her at all. She only had to follow her understanding.

Hearing the question from the visitor, Lin Chujiu hesitated for a moment, then knelt on one knee: “This subordinate is guilty, please punish me.” She remembered that Xiao Tianyao’s subordinates were all like this.

“Punishment?” The visitor chewed these two words carefully, and looked at Lin Chujiu carefully, with that look and tone, as if he didn’t know the person in front of him.

Lin Chujiu knew that the other party might be suspicious, but she didn’t show it on the face, and said calmly: “Yes, please punish me, my lord.”

“Huang Shanshiqi, you will never…” The visitor did not know whether Lin Chujiu was that woman, to further confirm Lin Chujiu’s identity, he did not directly challenge Lin Chujiu. Even though he didn’t take the initiative to make a move, it didn’t mean that Lin Chujiu wouldn’t take the initiative to make a move.

“My lord, I’m sorry!” Lin Chujiu jumped up, like a cheetah, and rushed towards the person coming. The small knife hidden in his hand revealed a sharp tip and stabbed at the opponent’s throat.

“How courageous!” The visitor seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the moment Lin Chujiu stood up, he drew his sword and stabbed Lin Chujiu, but at this moment… …
