Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 449 The Emperor's Poisonous Tongue

"I know that our childhood friendship is deep and unforgettable, but my brother is now the emperor, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the people of the world. How can he let a woman destroy his reputation and bring disgrace upon himself?"

Princess Zhaoyang hadn't finished speaking yet, but little Yining had no intention of listening anymore. Her mind was constantly turning over Princess Zhaoyang's words. She didn't even notice that the naughty kid was squatting down and eavesdropping like her.

Inside the hall, Sheng Jingchen listened quietly to these "heartfelt words". His calm eyes seemed to be moved by them and revealed a hint of reminiscence.

He gently turned his eyes and looked elsewhere, sighing as if he was inspired: "I never thought that my sister, who lived a life of debauchery and extravagance when she was young, would now advise me with the attitude of a person who has experienced it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor turned his deep gaze back to Princess Zhaoyang and asked casually, "Royal sister, tell me, what have I done that has caused the world to criticize me?"

It was unknown what the emperor said that offended Princess Zhaoyang, but she actually shouted angrily: "Your Majesty...you are too much!"

Sheng Jingchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a meaningful smile, and jokingly glanced at the angry woman opposite him: "My sister is not upright, so you'd better be careful with your words."

Princess Zhaoyang's chest rose and fell violently, and she stared at the emperor angrily, but after only a moment, she forced herself to suppress her emotions and said with a doting smile: "My royal brother has been doing annoying things for decades."

Then, she said to Lu Jiayi, "Ah Man, you are not needed here. Go help the Second Prince. He can't even take care of his own brothers, so how can he take care of a three-year-old girl?"

When Lu Jiayi heard this, she couldn't help but timidly raise her eyes to glance at the emperor with a calm expression, respectfully replied "yes", and slowly retreated.

Sheng Hongtong, who had just joined the eavesdropping group, couldn't help but feel angry when he saw this scene. He glanced at Xiao Yining who was getting up and preparing to go back, reached out and grabbed her hand, signaling her to continue eavesdropping.

Xiao Yining: ...

She couldn't help but widen her eyes nervously, and said to the naughty child with her eyes: "If Lu Jiayi goes to the side hall later, we will be exposed."

The naughty kid looked at her useless appearance and glared at her unhappily.

Seeing this, Xiao Yining had no choice but to squat back down, but this time her position was different. The naughty kid was leaning against the wall, while her dog was squatting beside him stealthily.

At this moment, Princess Zhaoyang spoke again: "My brother is unwilling to listen to my advice, and I will not force him to do so. Why should we hurt each other with words and damage our brother-sister relationship?"

"Sister-brother relationship?" Sheng Jingchen murmured softly with unclear meaning, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

The coldness in his eyes suddenly surged like a tide, and he glanced coldly at the woman opposite him, "No wonder the emperor sister cares about me so much, always wanting to put a woman of her choice under my nose."

Princess Zhaoyang heard this, a flash of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about, my brother? Can my sister influence you in choosing a woman? The Concubine Nuan that you dote on now has nothing to do with my sister."

The emperor looked at her refusal to repent, and his hand unconsciously covered the Buddhist beads on his wrist. He said calmly: "It seems that I have wronged my sister. If so, I will not keep Prince Yuan's concubines. Those women led Prince Yuan to disobey the order, and he did not repent. He indulged in lust in the palace every day. He should have died long ago."

As soon as these words were spoken, a creepy chill quietly crept up Princess Zhaoyang's body. She looked up at the emperor guiltily, taking in all his little movements, and her pupils suddenly shrank.

The Buddhist beads were made from the bones of the hands and feet that this person collected when he ascended the throne. Each bead represented a life.

The heart-wrenching scenes from the past involuntarily emerged in her mind.

When the late emperor was still alive, this man looked like a madman with no fear of anything.

At that time, he was just over twenty years old, but he had already killed five of his brothers. The rest of them, like frightened birds, gathered together and sent out batches of assassins to kill him, but they all failed and suffered his crazy revenge.

She witnessed with her own eyes the horrifying scene of him, covered in blood, trampling the assassin under his feet like a demon. Since then, she has been bedridden for half a year out of fear.

Sheng Jingchen doesn't care about blood relatives at all. Even though he has restrained his temper in recent years, he will never tolerate anyone playing tricks in front of him.

He was a cruel king from beginning to end.

Princess Zhaoyang's heart was trembling violently, and she changed the subject in a stiff tone: "This is my brother's family affair, how dare I interfere! But I still want to advise you, if you like a little princess, just let Concubine Nuan give birth to one for you. I think she is also a good childbearer. Why should you give such honor to that little girl from the countryside because of Li Anhe?"

"If people maliciously speculate that there is some connection between the emperor's brother and Li Anhe, you may not hear the rumors in the palace, but Li Anhe can hear them outside the palace."

These words really touched Xiao Yining's heart, and she couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Life is so difficult for women, how could her grandmother be subject to rumors because of her? Although she has relied on her uncle's support, it does not mean that she is willing to sacrifice her grandmother's reputation.

They are a loving family, and no matter how good the uncle is, he cannot interfere.

At this moment, a piece of fragrant cake appeared in front of Xiao Yining, interrupting her thoughts. She sniffed twice with her small nose, then took it without moving her eyebrows or eyes, and did not even look at who sent the cake.

At the same time, the emperor's answer came through, and he said, "Did anyone mention to you over the years that Anping was the result of your affair with a wild man?"

Xiao Yining: ...

Sheng Hongtong: ...
