Chapter 68: You Are My Everything
Situ Yaohua felt resentful in his heart. The sky of dignified Great Liang was covered with one hand by such a person and his actions determined the life and death of others. Was this Great Liang still their Situ clan's?!
However, what he needed to worry about were not these things. Instead, it was about how to make it appear that he had no relationship with these people!
But what he was worried about happened. When sir Li was dragged away, he suddenly grabbed his (SY) yellow robe and wailed, "Your Highness, please save me. Your Highness, plead for leniency for me. This, this subject will definitely wash my heart and renew my face and go all my way out to serve Great Liang and His Majesty!"
[1] Wash my heart and renew my face: to turn over a new leaf/ to repent sincerely and mend the mistaken ways
Unexpectedly, Lin Qing who was next to emperor Jinghui deliberately interjected, "Sir Li must be joking. Could it be that you didn't go all your way out to serve His Majesty before?! If not, then, who did you go all your way out to serve?"
Situ Yaohua's expression changed instantly. He immediately took a few steps back and said, "Why be like this, sir Li? If you are innocent, emperor father will definitely return your innocence to you!"
Sir Li's face was ashen. Although, he was not stupid enough to expose his relationship with situ Yaohua, he knew in his heart that this Eastern Palace couldn't help him. He (L) tried his best to support him with all his heart in the past. Now, he had angered Lin Qing. Who could he blame for not having bargaining chip to let Situ Yaohua help him?
Seeing that Dai Lu also struggled to crawl over here and fearing that he would say something implicating, Situ Yaohua quickly beckoned with his hand to let the guards quickly lead them away.
It was just that no matter if he truly watched on with folded arms or saved them or not, it would let his supporters' heart chill, but what could he do?
Emperor Jinghui snorted heavily at Situ Yaohua. Although, he didn't say anything, everyone understood what he meant. He handed the Ministry of Revenue for Situ Yaohua to take care of, in the end, such a thing happened to the Ministry of Revenue. How could he be satisfied with Situ Yaohua?
Situ Wenrui naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity to hit Situ Yaohua and seized the chance to say, "Eldest big brother, emperor father handed the Ministry of Revenue for you to handle, is this how you help emperor father?"
Situ Yaohua didn't respond yet when situ Yuanxiao immediately said, "It's not your turn to worry about this. It's enough that you take care of your Ministry of Works."
Some people didn't pay attention to the dispute of the two princes, minister Lu Mingde of the Ministry of Justice knelt and said, "Your Majesty, shall we continue to discuss what had happened yesterday? This subject asks to pardon Zhao Zhong!"
The minister of the Ministry of Justice was also one of the people who opposed the punishment of Zhao Zhong yesterday. Now that the old matter was brought up again, the other two people also appeared and said, "These subject seconds that!"
The number of people were not too much nor too small. It would not pour oil on emperor Jinghui's anger and would let people feel that it had some weight. Moreover, Zhao Zhong's matter was less eye-catching compared to today's matter. After all, Situ Ningan already belonged to the past.
Emperor Jinghui who had been given the potion of ecstasy by consort Hui and being brainwashed by the officials, already didn't pay much attention to this matter now. Furthermore, letting Zhao Zhong go could show his benevolence. Emperor Jinghui said with a distracted heart and thoughts in turmoil, "Forget it, you decide!"
