"As a prince, you are still a blood relative to me, and yet you have done such a ridiculous thing. I would like to ask you what you mean!"
As the head of a country, the king has a serious face and is not angry or powerful.
Now, losing his temper is enough to frighten everyone in the hall.
Even Bai Liyue and the two of them felt a dangerous aura.
Seeing that the king was angry, Huangfu Xun immediately explained: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. If you said that you and I are blood relatives, how could I do anything detrimental to you?"
His words made Bai Liyue smile sadly.
"Prince Xun, you have admitted that the fake princess incident is related to you, and you also said that you will not do anything detrimental to the king. Is this too contradictory?"
After hearing this, Huangfu Xun, who lowered his head, glanced in Bai Liyue's direction from the corner of his eye, his eyes instantly becoming extremely vicious.
It¡¯s just that his head was lowered so low that no one noticed his strange gaze.
After secretly glancing at Bai Liyue, Huangfu Xun suddenly sighed and said with great sadness: "Your Majesty, if you want to punish me for this, I have nothing to say, but I am doing this all for your Majesty. !¡±
The king became even more angry and his eyes were sinister.
"Are you coaxing me like this, or is it for me? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!
Prince Xun, if you don¡¯t give me a reasonable reason today, I will assume that you have ulterior motives!
When the time comes, don¡¯t blame me for ignoring my brotherhood and punishing you severely! "
Huangfu Xun, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes suddenly darkened.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were red and there were cloudy tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, we are brothers. After all these years, have I ever had the slightest bit of disloyalty?"
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking.
He raised his hand to wipe away a trace of crystal from the corner of his eyes, and then continued: "I did something bad with good intentions regarding the fake princess, and I had no other evil intentions.
I know that your only wish in this life is to find your lost daughter, so I have been privately inquiring about the whereabouts of the princess.
That Bai Yirou happened to have the princess's token on her body, so the person I sent to find the princess admitted her mistake. After that, I discovered that she was not the real princess.
I didn¡¯t want to deceive Your Majesty, but I couldn¡¯t bear to see Your Majesty grieving for the lost princess every day.
¡°In addition, His Majesty has been searching for the princess for more than twenty years. I think that the real princess is probably impossible to find.
Therefore, I came up with such a ridiculous method. I hope it can comfort you and make you feel better! "
After finishing speaking, the king reprimanded: "Absurd! How can anyone replace my daughter?"
Huangfu Xun solemnly nodded and confessed: "What your Majesty said is that I was temporarily obsessed. Seeing that Your Majesty was sad every day, I just wanted to fulfill your dream of finding your daughter as soon as possible. I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Please, Your Majesty." Punishment!¡±
He has a sincere attitude, and looks like he will go through fire and water for the king.
He kept saying it was for the king, but if the king punished him severely, it would make people feel too unkind.
Mu Jingchen, who had been watching with cold eyes, interjected: "Your Majesty, I am very puzzled by what Prince Xun said.
As a prince, he should be more aware of the impact and consequences of the fake princess incident.
How could you knowingly know how much your majesty misses the princess and deliberately replace her with someone else to deceive your majesty? "
Listening to Mu Jingchen¡¯s words, Huangfuxun¡¯s eyes were immediately filled with coldness.
He saw it.
Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue came here deliberately to target him!
He knelt on the ground and said loudly and righteously: "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly! I have absolutely no selfish motives in the matter of the fake princess. If there is even half a lie, I will be struck by thunder and die!"
This oath echoed in every corner of the hall.
His tone was calm and forceful. If Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue hadn't known that he was a vicious person, they would have believed his words.
At this moment, the king's face was terrifyingly serious.
He stared at Huangfu Xun who was kneeling in front of him and asked: "Why did you let someone pretend to be a princess to deceive me? I will put it aside for now. What I want to know now is that the fake princess was verified twice!"
The first time was in Jiangcheng. The appraisal center was bought by you, so there was a problem midway and the results were confirmed.
What about the subsequent appraisal in the palace? Despite all the checks, mistakes can still be made. Prince Xun, don¡¯t tell me that all my people in the Royal Hospital belong to you! "
The king's words finally made Huangfu Xun slightly panicked.
He quickly explained: "Your Majesty! The previous appraisal was indeed my fault, but the appraisal at the Royal Hospital in the palace had nothing to do with me!
At that time, I was also very puzzled as to why the Royal Hospital¡¯s appraisal was also wrong. However, I never dared to report it to you, for fear that you would be too worried and hurt the relationship between our brothers! "
Seeing his denial, the king got up angrily.
"Prince, you are treating me like a monkey! Could it be that besides you, there are other accomplices of Bai Yirou in this palace!"
Huangfuxun quickly kowtowed and said in horror: "Your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with me at this time! No matter how powerful and financial I am, I can't possibly bribe the people in the Royal Hospital! Your Majesty, please investigate clearly!"
"Okay! Since you are so stubborn, I will investigate this matter thoroughly! If it is found to be related to you"
The king paused for a second, took a deep breath, and said sternly: "Prince Xun, you must know that buying the people around me is no different from forming a clique for personal gain and trying to rebel!"
Huangfu Xun didn't dare to raise his head, but he still said loudly: "Your Majesty, I only admit that the fake princess was arranged to enter the palace by me, and I only admit that the first identification was done by me.
But everything I do is for Your Majesty! I just want to fulfill your Majesty¡¯s dream of finding your daughter on my own!
Except for this, I did not do anything else, and I will never admit it! If you find out that the royal appraisal is related to me, I will voluntarily resign from my official position and let you do whatever you want! "
His harsh words made Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue look at each other in confusion.
Since Huangfu Xun dared to ask the king to investigate and gamble with his official position and future, he must be 100% sure.
But it was clearly him who designed Bai Yirou to enter the palace. How could it have nothing to do with him when the second appraisal was established?
"Could it be that, as the king said, there was someone in the palace who actually helped Bai Yirou?
How is this possible?
Hearing his words of assurance, the king said solemnly: "Okay! Remember what you said today!"
After saying that, he ordered Hans behind him: "Send Prince Xun back to the palace. Before the matter is found out, he is not allowed to leave the palace for even half a step, and he is not allowed to have contact with anyone!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Hans responded, Huangfuxun stood up and followed Hans out.
Before leaving the hall, he gave Mu Jingchen and Bai Liyue a meaningful look before striding away.
Bai Liyue could see the cruelty in his eyes, as well as a kind of confidence that was hard to guess. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
