The emperor was also a little angry and said sternly: "What did I say about her? I was just reminding you to be more vigilant, but you actually refuted me. It seems that you are right, you did lose your life because of Leng Xiao You used to be rational and calm, but do you know that by talking back to me for Leng Xiao, you are not protecting Leng Xiao, you are harming her."
Nangong Yitian's heart sank. Looking at the emperor's stern face, he suppressed his anger and bowed: "Father, Leng Xiao is right. Even if he is wrong, it is my fault. What do you want to do to me? , Leng Xiao has suffered a lot and been wronged a lot, I hope you can tolerate her and understand her."
"What is your attitude? What did I say about her?" The emperor was furious, his face already very ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and did not want to rebuke him too much, "Don't mention this matter again, but about the case, You go to the Yamen and withdraw, don't hurt your sister's reputation."
Nangong Yitian was very upset, but he kept calm and asked: "If the case is withdrawn, what will Leng Xiao do?"
"I said that I will compensate her." The emperor sat back, looked at him sternly, and ordered: "Withdraw the case within today, and then ask the government office to issue a statement saying that these are all misunderstandings. You have to handle this matter yourself, don't leave it to others."
Nangong Yitian shook his head, "There is no point in withdrawing the case. I asked the government to open the trial and allow the people to come in and observe. All the facts of the case are known to the people."
The emperor was furious and slapped the table, "You are so ridiculous. It is not appropriate to bring the affairs of the Tian family to the Yamen, but you still let the people watch? You have really lost the face of the royal family. As a prince, you are indulging in your children." If you don't say anything about your feelings, you still go to the Yamen to act like a stingy woman, how can you behave like that?"
"Father, the fault in this matter is not with the son, but with Nangong Qinglan. She should not have falsely accused Leng Xiao of having an affair with Lin Zimo. She was allowed to hurt Leng Xiao, but her son was not allowed to fight back. What's the point?"
"That's not your business. If Leng Xiao has the ability, he can clarify it himself." The emperor's face was livid with anger. "Isn't she quite capable? Why should you be asked to stand up for her? Do you have the status to care about such trivial matters? "
Nangong Yitian's expression turned serious, "Since my father has spoken, I will leave this matter to Leng Xiao, but please forgive my son for speaking up. Leng Xiao will not be as gentle as his son in dealing with things."
"Not gentle, what does she want?" The emperor slapped the table, full of disappointment for him. As the future emperor, he actually got involved in women's affairs and still spoke plausibly.
Nangong Yitian said: "I really don't know what she will do, but I believe that going to the government office is definitely the gentlest thing to do. All the rumors and rumors against Leng Xiao outside will return to Nangong Qinglan herself. It’s a cycle of cause and effect.”
The emperor remembered what Leng Xiao had done. He had already attacked Qinglan that day and broke three of her fingers. Indeed, if she had been left to deal with it, the matter would have been even bigger, because she had no scruples in doing things and was very thorough. .
Instead, Ayi went to deal with it, which was regarded as showing mercy to Qinglan.
But the emperor also felt upset. After Leng Xiao came back, this peaceful and friendly situation was broken.
The emperor sighed and said: "You can decide for yourself, but even if you don't think about anything, you should think about the day you broke your leg. It was your sister who insisted on taking care of you personally in the palace. She loved you even though she was wrong in all kinds of ways. The heart is genuine."
Nangong Yitian really doesn't know if his father is pretending to be confused or if he really doesn't know what Nangong Qinglan is thinking. Is her heart called love?
But my father must know it. What does he mean by saying this?
Nangong Yitian didn't want to speculate anymore. He was a father and a king, and the king's heart was unpredictable.
He resigned.
