"But……"
Xie Yin's face was still red and swollen, which was left by Princess Cheng last night. Thinking of Princess Cheng's ruthless saying that she didn't have a son like him, he whitened his lips: "But the mother-in-law is angry with me, and she also asked Xiao Yan to I also caught him together."
He raised his head and said, "Father, how did my grandmother die? I believed your words last night, and that's why I asked the concubine what made her angry. The concubine said she didn't kill my grandmother at all. She said it was you..."
"Do you believe her?"
King Cheng looked at Xie Yin, who was eager to shirk responsibility, and suddenly interrupted him: "Have you ever seen a person who killed someone take the initiative to admit that he took someone's life?"
"I went in from the outside with you. When your grandmother died, only she, your mother-in-law, and the people around your mother-in-law were there. Didn't you see that they killed the servants who served your grandmother?"
Xie Yin's hands shook.
Prince Cheng said in a low voice: "But it doesn't matter if you believe your mother-in-law. She accidentally killed your grandmother and was seen by me. She will not spare me. But you are different. You are hers." Son, as long as you follow her wishes and speak for her, and beg her properly, she will definitely let you out."
"You are my only son. As long as you live well, I will be able to feel at ease even if I die."
Xie Yin was shaken after listening to King Cheng's words, and King Cheng's words implied that he had sacrificed his own father to save his life. This made Xie Yin even more embarrassed and panicked. He couldn't help but said in a hurry: "Father, I am not like this." Meaning, I know you won’t harm grandma, and the people in the house have seen it with their own eyes..."
"So what if I see it?"
King Cheng smiled bitterly: "If I were still outside, and if the people in the palace could testify, I could confront your mother and concubine even in court. However, Xiao Yan, together with Marquis Wenxin and others, imprisoned me for treason. As long as they want to silence me, they will definitely not give me the chance to speak."
His expression was full of bitterness, and the suppressed emotions in his eyes made Xie Yin feel uncomfortable.
"I have been in love with your mother and concubine for many years, and I have never been ashamed of her. But once it fell into her mouth, it all turned out to be false. I thought she was just angry at Tang Ning, and I was angry that I deceived you for the overall situation. She, but now I understand that your mother and concubine regretted choosing me when they saw the Gu family's incredible wealth."
"She was not clear with that Gu Helian, and she accidentally killed your grandmother. There is no possibility of a change between her and this king. She will definitely want this king to die in this prison, but you are different, you still have In the great future, you are her biological blood, and as long as you can get out of jail, you don't have to be implicated by me."
King Cheng stroked Xie Yin's hair and said in a low voice:
"A Yin, my father failed to protect you. Even if you abandon your father, you should still do it."
Xie Yin listened to his sincere words and looked at his miserable expression with tears already in his eyes. Compared to Princess Cheng who beat and scolded him, Prince Cheng still thought of him wholeheartedly even when he was in such a situation, even willing to He sacrificed himself to protect him.
The balance in Xie Yin's heart instantly favored King Cheng.
Xie Yin is a young man at heart. He felt guilty for doubting him before, but now his eyes are red: "Father, my child will never ignore you. I know you are good to me, and I also know that you are forced to do so by your mother and concubine. If you attack her, as long as you wait for me to go out, I will definitely go to the emperor's uncle and those royal family members to redress your grievances."
"Xiao Yan and the others want to suppress this matter and use the crime of treason to harm the father. Then I will make the matter bigger and make it known to everyone, so that everyone will know that my mother and concubine are vicious, and I will know that Xiao Yan He and Song Tangning wanted to construct and cover up for her and Gu Helian, so they framed you."
King Cheng shed tears when he heard this: "A Yin, you don't have to be like this..."
Seeing this, Xie Yin became more confident: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you!"
Both father and son were sincere in love, and when their eyes turned red, they both resented Rong Yue. King Cheng saw that Xie Yin had completely turned to him, and was about to explain in a low voice how he could ask Rong Yue to be soft-hearted, but at this moment, there was nothing Suddenly, the sound of clapping came from the corridor.
"Pa", "Pa", "Pa"——
Tang Ning clapped her hands and walked out of the darkness with Xiao Yan. The extinguished oil lamp in the corridor was lit. Tang Ning looked at the two men in the prison whose expressions changed drastically and laughed.
"What a profound love between father and son, such a touching story."
Xie Yin's expression changed drastically: "Cousin..."
"No, I can't be the sister of Crown Prince Xie." She seemed to think of something in the middle of her words, and suddenly changed her words: "Oh no, you are no longer Crown Prince. A scoundrel of unknown origin is not worthy of our honor. Family blood.”
Xie Yin froze on the spot, and then became furious: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by unknown origin? I am the heir apparent of Prince Cheng, the son of his father and his mother. Song Tangning, don't think that you can talk nonsense just because you have climbed up to Xiao Yan." , you are slandering the mother-in-law!"
Tang Ning sneered: "Didn't you hear clearly? You are not my aunt's son, so what can you say to slander me?"
"You!" Xie Yin's eyes were about to burst, and he looked at Tang Ning with a ferocious expression: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Ask King Cheng if this is nonsense."
Tang Ning looked at Prince Cheng who had just slandered Princess Cheng with Xie Yin, but now he couldn't help but turned pale. Xie Yin couldn't help but look over and said anxiously as if he was eager for confirmation: "Father, she is a liar. Am I right? I am the son of my mother-in-law..."
King Cheng's heart was beating violently. Even when he was captured by Xiao Yan and others and sent to prison, his hands and feet were not as cold as this moment.
They couldn't possibly know.
How could they possibly know...
Prince Cheng only thought that they were deliberately deceiving him. Even though he was extremely flustered, he tried his best to keep his expression calm and pretended to be angry: "Of course you are the son of your mother and concubine. You are the blood of this king and Rongyue!"
He raised his eyes and looked outside with a stern expression:
"Song Tangning, I know that you have evil thoughts. You have tried to persuade Rongyue to leave the palace several times, and you even relied on Xiao Yan to help Rongyue murder me. But you should never slander me like this."
"When your aunt gave birth, everyone in the palace witnessed A Yin's birth. Now you are talking such nonsense. It is simply unreasonable. Is it because Rongyue gave up A Yin just to be with Gu Helian..."
"Mother Jiang is not dead."
The harsh words in King Cheng's mouth suddenly broke off, like a duck stuck in the neck.
Tang Ning looked at his almost unsteady face and said, "Mama Jiang has revealed everything about the son-exchange. It has also been revealed that you framed your aunt and uncle Gu's family."
"Do you think you can hide the truth by pulling out her tongue and cutting off her hands and feet?"
Prince Cheng subconsciously wanted to say it was impossible. He clearly saw that Nanny Jiang was only half breathing, and clearly heard from his cronies that she would not survive. He just wanted to keep her to lure Rong Yue into taking the bait. He even visited Nanny Jiang when he went out. Grandma's breath was obviously gone.
How could she tell the past events like that? How could it be possible to survive? !
Xiao Yan seemed to know what he wanted to say, and sneered: "Have you forgotten, King Cheng, that Madam Qin is still in the capital? With her here, even those who step into the Palace of Hell can be brought back."
He stood next to Tang Ning, making the person next to him look particularly petite. He looked at King Cheng with his hands folded, his eyes sparse and cold, and his jawline sharp.
"Your Majesty has deprived Xie Yin of his position as Crown Prince, and he will probably also take away his royal jade dish. If he confuses the royal bloodline, it will be difficult for him to save his life. The prince wants to use him to ask for the princess's forgiveness so that he can escape from prison. I'm afraid There is no hope.”
Prince Cheng swayed, and all his words of defense were stuck in his throat.
Xie Yin saw his pale face and saw that he didn't refute Xiao Yan and the others. He felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar and was trembling with cold.
"Father, are they lying?"
King Cheng remained silent.
Xie Yin's face turned even paler, and he grasped King Cheng's shoulders precariously: "You are talking, what they say is all false, right?!"
He is the most noble prince and son, a descendant of the Rong family and the Xie family. He is born superior to others and is envied by everyone. How could he be a villain of unknown origin? !
