Chapter 736

"Let's talk about it when the Emperor returns." Yun Xiyue did not agree, after all, this was a matter of the court, and Zeng Xiao had betrayed military intelligence, harming many people.

If we plead for him, Murong Yu will definitely be unhappy.

Pei Xuan is also very pitiful...

Finally, she returned to the Prime Minister's residence in tears.

......

"Why did you do this?" Murong Yu hadn't expected it to be Zeng Xiao.

He wasn't surprised by Shen Yue's appearance, but he found it unbelievable that Zeng Xiao had betrayed military intelligence.

Personal grudges and national affairs.

Zeng Xiao can still separate.

"Is a sister like Zeng Rou really worth doing this for?"

Zeng Xiao did not kneel. Even though he was disheveled, he still stood tall and faced him. "Murong Yu, put your hands on your conscience. My two younger sisters died because of you. Do you have any conscience?"

“I know what you want to say. My grandfather told me that even if Rou’er was wrong, Qing’er died to help you draw away the pursuers.”

Murong Yu said, "I never said that Zeng Qing didn't die to save Zhen. I have repaid the debt I owed her myself."

"What the Zeng family did, what Zeng Rou did, was enough to warrant confiscation of their property and execution. When have I ever questioned your crimes?"

Zeng Xiao's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Not enough! Our Zeng family protects our country, and all that power, military authority, and favors are rightfully ours. What right do you have to take them back so easily?"

"Why do you assume it was a gift from you?"

Murong Yu looked at him coldly and quietly.

"Rou'er's crime did not warrant death, why did you kill her?"

"As the emperor, shouldn't you distribute your favors evenly? You want both the empire and the people, Murong Yu, you're too greedy!"

Leng Yan couldn't stand it anymore, "Zeng Xiao, are you crazy!"

"How dare you call the Emperor by his name? You also have the duty of serving the Emperor. Protecting the country and the country, being loyal to the Emperor, and safeguarding the Emperor are the responsibilities of the Zeng family and each of us."

"It is your Zeng family that wants both, not the Emperor!"

As he spoke, Leng Yan punched him.

"Ha ha!"

Zeng Xiao laughed and glared at him angrily, "Leng Yan, I'm not a coward like you. Do you really think he considers you a good brother?"

"Knowing that you love Pei Fang, you still married her and brought her into the palace. After marrying her, you didn't cherish her or care for her, causing her pain and sorrow. Don't you feel heartache watching the woman you love being tormented like this?"

Leng Yan's expression changed slightly, and the fist she had raised no longer struck his face.

Because Murong Yu got up and grabbed his wrist.

"enough!"

"Don't waste your breath on things you can't reason with him about."

She glanced at Zeng Xiao indifferently and said, "Xuanxuan is pregnant. Since you've decided to die, why drag Xuanxuan down with you? If you die, I can let her remarry."

"Now that you've gotten her pregnant, you've just left. Have you thought about what life will be like for her and your child in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiao was stunned. Then, tears rolled down his bloodshot eyes, and his face turned as pale as paper.

"Xuanxuan is pregnant with my child..."

"Yes, exactly two months."

Zeng Xiao closed his eyes and stopped yelling.

They didn't even dare to ask the emperor for leniency for their death sentence.

Murong Yu didn't say much, but signaled his men to take him away and keep a close watch on him, lest he be lost.

Leng Yan led him down.

Are you jealous of the Emperor?

Seeing him half-dead, I just couldn't bear to look at him.

Zeng Xiao's expression changed slightly, as if his thoughts had been exposed, and he looked somewhat embarrassed. "Why would I be jealous of him? What is there for me to be jealous of?"

"There are too many. His Majesty was always better than us, whether in martial arts or military strategy."

"You may not think so, but that's the truth."

"Most importantly, the woman you like likes the emperor."
