EBE Chapter 336 Exposed
Chapter 336 Exposed
Liang Chongjing kept his eyes fixed on the letter that was delivered to his father. Sweat was pouring down his back, and it was already soaked. Fortunately, his official uniform was dark, otherwise people would have noticed.
Liang Zhan took the letter, raised his eyes slightly, looked at Liang Chongjing's reaction, and then returned his gaze to the letter in his hand.
After reading just two lines, Liang Zhan's face became even gloomier than before, his lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were grim, suppressing a storm.
The jade twist in Liang Zhan's hand was crushed unknowingly, and he didn't even notice that a piece of broken jade had pierced his fingertips. Finally, after reading the entire letter, Liang Zhan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up and walked quickly to Liang Chongjing and kicked him in the heart.
"Rebellious son, who gave you the right to do this?"
Liang Zhan used all his internal strength in this kick, and kicked Liang Chongjing directly to the threshold of the inner hall. If there had not been a threshold blocking him, he would have been kicked out of the Yangxin Palace.
Liang Chongjing covered his chest, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and knelt down in front of his father.
The pain in his chest was nothing compared to the fear in his heart. Liang Chongjing already knew that his father must have known what he had done to Chongyue, otherwise he would not be so angry.
Liang Chongjing raised his eyes to glance at his father's face, and saw that his father's face was as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds before a rainstorm. Just one glance made him no longer have the courage to look up and look at his father.
"Come here, drag the eldest prince away, revoke his title of Prince Shu, and confine him to the palace. He is not allowed to leave without being summoned."
Upon hearing that his father not only wanted to abolish his title but also put him under house arrest, Liang Chongjing could no longer bear it. He directly grabbed his father's dragon robe and cried out his grievances.
"Father, Your Majesty, I am innocent. I did not intend to attack Fifth Sister. I was only tempted by the Second Brother and was bewildered. I never intended to harm Fifth Sister. Father, Your Majesty, please forgive me this time."
Liang Chongjing held his father's dragon robe tightly with both hands. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone strangling his neck. He was originally kneeling on the ground, but was lifted up by the neck.
"What did you say?"
Liang Chongjing felt something was wrong, but at this time his neck was being strangled by his father, he was having difficulty breathing, and his brain felt a little insufficient.
At this moment, Liang Chongjing happened to catch a glimpse of the letter that his father dropped when he reached out to pinch him, and it was right at his feet.
The handwriting above clearly described how he conspired to take advantage of women's childbirth step by step to kill his own princess, and then sent people to the Xiao family to propose marriage, hoping to form an alliance with the Xiao family.
There were two pieces of paper in total, and only half of the back one was exposed. Although Liang Chongjing usually disliked his princess, he had always had close contacts with the powerful Yue family. There was no way he could mistake his father-in-law's handwriting, not to mention that it was written in blood.
Liang Chongjing couldn't help but feel terrified just by seeing his father-in-law write the princess' name in blood.
"What did you two do to Chongyue?!"
Liang Chongjing felt the hand on his neck getting stronger and stronger, almost breaking his neck. When he met his father's bloodshot eyes, Liang Chongjing finally understood what was going on.
His father was pinching his neck, so he couldn't move, and he couldn't see the rest of the content in the letter. He was forced to look directly into his father's eyes.
Liang Chongjing was the emperor's eldest son. He was born before his father ascended the throne. As far as he could remember, he often saw many people coming in and out of his father's study.
Having witnessed his father's ruthless methods and his iron-blooded tenderness towards Chongyue over the years, and looking into his father's scarlet eyes, he finally understood why his father always said that he was still a little short of it.
The strong feeling of suffocation made him unable to utter a word. No matter how big his mouth opened, he could not breathe. Just when Liang Chongjing thought he was going to die at the hands of his father, the force on his neck disappeared and he came back to life.
His father withdrew his hand from his neck. Liang Chongjing knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. He felt that everything in front of him was black and foggy, as if he had never seen his father's heart clearly in the past thirty years.
"Qi Deyuan."
"The slave is here."
Qi Deyuan was already confused when Prince Shu mentioned Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo. He didn't expect that there would be something about Her Royal Highness the Princess in this.
Now, seeing Prince Shu's appearance, his heart also began to wrench in his heart.
The fight for the throne among the princes has always been bloody. Qi Deyuan can only pray that the princess was raised by His Majesty himself and did not fall into any trap.
Otherwise, given the high hopes His Majesty has for Her Royal Highness the Princess, if something happens to Her Royal Highness the Princess at the hands of Prince Shu and Prince Li, then given His Majesty's current condition, I'm afraid he would directly take the lives of the two princes.
Qi Deyuan kept praying in his heart that nothing would happen to His Highness, nothing would happen to His Highness, otherwise life in the Yangxin Palace would become even more difficult.
"Prepare the car, I want to leave the palace."
When Qi Deyuan heard what His Majesty said, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As soon as he said "yes", he was almost at the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
"Come here, drag the eldest prince away and keep him under strict guard, and seal off Prince Shu's mansion."
Liang Chongjing had also recovered by now, but the pain in his neck had not yet disappeared, and he had no time to care about it. His arm was lifted up and dragged outside. Facing his father's angry and disappointed expression, Liang Chongjing felt for the first time that everything he had done over the years to gain his father's appreciation was a joke.
As he was being dragged out of the Yangxin Palace, Liang Chongjing broke free from the hands of the two eunuchs beside him:
"Let go, I will walk on my own."
Seeing him like this, the two eunuchs turned around to look at the master of the Sifangtai who was following behind them. Seeing that the master did not say anything to stop them, they followed the eldest prince respectfully as usual and walked outside.
When Liang Chongjing left the Yangxin Palace, apart from the obvious red and purple pinch marks on his neck, he looked no different from usual.
None of the eunuchs and palace maids passing by dared to look up at the nobleman. They knelt down from a distance and lowered their heads to the ground. Along the way, no one noticed the scar on the eldest prince's neck.
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, everything was the same as before. If it weren't for the pain in his neck from time to time, Liang Chongjing would have thought he was having a nightmare.
The sky had been overcast for several days, and suddenly it started to rain. Summer rains come suddenly, and the rain got heavier in a few moments.
Liang Chongjing stopped and looked up at the sky. In the foggy sky, only raindrops kept falling and hitting his face. He didn't know if the raindrops got into his eyes, but gradually his eyes began to turn red.
"Grand Prince, please don't waste any more time."
The black-robed guard who presented the letter in the Yangxin Palace took a few steps forward and walked to the side of Liang Chongjing. The Sifangtai belongs exclusively to His Majesty, and they do not need to bow to anyone except His Majesty.
Liang Chongjing was reprimanded by his father, stripped of his title, had his mansion sealed off, and was caught in a heavy rain. He was already furious. Faced with a guard who didn't know the rules, he naturally didn't want to endure it and just hit him.
