Chapter 316: Hesheli, the Pig-like Man
Li Si'er's reckless attitude really made Kangxi, who was cuckolded, laugh.
He couldn't help but sneer, then glanced down at Longkodo, whose forehead was covered with cold sweat, and said in a deep voice:
"Why can't I remember when Unashi changed his name? Longkodo, why don't you talk to me?"
Seeing that Kangxi was indifferent to her kindness and instead kept asking about things related to Unashi, Li Si'er was very unhappy.
She was born in a humble family, and apart from her pretty appearance, she really had no extra knowledge.
In addition, ever since she was snatched back by Longkodo, she has been spoiled to the point of being lawless, relying on the support of her omnipotent husband. This has completely thrown away her already limited brains.
Therefore, without caring what the occasion was, and without understanding the atmosphere that was almost depressing to the extreme, Li Si'er, who only felt unhappy, stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh on Longkodo's waist hard.
Meaning: "Speak nicely to me!"
Li Si'er's little action was not very subtle, at least Kangxi, who was sitting at the top, saw it at a glance.
However, doing so made his expression even more gloomy.
There was no other reason. It was simply because Li Si'er and his Concubine De looked too much alike, which made it difficult for him not to imagine Concubine De, who was always known for her gentleness and thoughtfulness in the harem, doing such a stupid thing.
No... maybe that gentle appearance is just an illusion. Look at Longkodo, he looks contented and enjoying himself... maybe Defei is whipping him in private!
——Well, well, what a pair of dogs and bitches, they can actually play so wildly!
Completely infuriated by his own rich imagination, Kangxi couldn't help but press his aching forehead. In his heart, at this moment, he had already selected 108 different ways for Concubine De to die.
The low pressure that continued to surround Kangxi made Longkodo, who was somewhat aroused by Li Si'er and was inappropriate in the circumstances, shudder suddenly.
Seeing that Kangxi was not going to investigate Li Si'er's face for the time being, he quickly raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and with a hint of luck, he replied calmly:
"Reporting to His Majesty, Unashi has always been weak, and recently she has suddenly contracted an acute illness, with a high fever that does not stop, and can only rest in bed. In order not to delay Father, I have no choice but to let Fourth Son take over and take full charge of this matter."
At first glance, this sounds very problematic.
If you listen carefully, you will find it is full of loopholes!
Kangxi gritted his teeth and looked around, only to find that no court official dared to stand up and point out the problem in Longkodo's words at this time, which made him feel even more disheartened.
The entire court is full of cowards, and there is not a single talented person who is truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic!
He did not at all miss the silent attitude he had adopted when he tried to protect Longkodo. Now that all the civil and military officials in the court had really followed his attitude, he turned around and blamed others.
The emperor is such a cold-blooded creature who is extremely good at finding fault with others.
"Longkodo, you really have a clever tongue!"
Kangxi snorted in dissatisfaction, which frightened all the court officials kneeling on the ground and made them subconsciously lower their heads a little further.
"Even if Unashi is really seriously ill, according to etiquette, don't we still have your mother? What's going on? Could it be that your mother will also be ill and the family will have to be managed by a concubine?!"
"This... this... my mother... she was so grief-stricken that she fainted. I had no choice but to do this..."
Longkodo was sweating more and more. When Li Si'er sent people to drag away his mother, Da Hesheli, many people saw it.
He was really afraid that these unethical colleagues would stab him in the back at such an emergency moment!
"Really? Then you are really filial... I don't know why, you Tongjia family seem to be born to be Hesheli!"
This statement was somewhat harsh, as it was like pointing fingers at them and scolding them for having a corrupt family tradition and favoring their concubine over their wife.
Not to mention that Tong Guowei is still lying in the coffin.
But who made Longkodo guilty?
Therefore, he could only try hard to raise the corners of his mouth and smile awkwardly.
In any case, Kangxi's sharp tongue has been around for a long time. Although he didn't have many opportunities to be criticized, he had been criticized before.
In Longkodo's opinion, after he finished speaking, no court official dared to stand up and refute him, so the hurdle concerning Unaxi and his mother had been passed.
The biggest difficulty at the moment is Li Si'er's tender little face!
Longkodo's heart was still beating wildly when suddenly, an angry voice rang out from behind him, directly overturning all the lies he had just told.
"Your Majesty, Longkodo is lying!"
The young man's voice was loud and clear, and in his eyes, which had not yet been corrupted by the world, there was still a glimmer of hope for the higher power.
"...Yue Xing! How dare you! Don't you realize what time it is? Do you have the right to speak here?!"
Longkodo was furious when he realized he was stabbed in the back. Favoring his concubine and ignoring his wife was one thing, but if outsiders found out that he abused his wife and even allowed his concubine to torture Unaxi to the point where she was no longer recognizable as a human being, that would be a real big deal!
"Rebellious son, get out of here!"
So he turned around and slapped Yue Xing'a hard.
"No! Your Majesty, what I said is true. Longkodo is lying!"
Yue Xing'a's cheeks quickly became red and swollen, but he clenched his fists and still stubbornly called out his father's name. His eyes and brows, which were very similar to Unashi's, were filled with the word stubbornness.
Kangxi had not yet expressed his opinion on this scene of discord between father and son, but all the civil and military officials in the court had already begun to murmur in tacit understanding.
Just now, when Longkodo lied openly in front of everyone, they kept silent;
Now Yue Xing'a was suing his father as a son, and before he even had time to say the specific content, he had already aroused everyone's vigilance and dissatisfaction.
The so-called etiquette and rules, black and white, right and wrong, have always been just a matter of public opinion.
It's really ridiculous.
"Your Majesty, I want to expose Longkodo! When he was a son, he was disobedient and unfilial, and indulged his concubines to mistreat his biological mother; when he was a husband, he favored his concubines and killed his wife, and tortured his original wife!
My grandmother was not in any serious trouble at all. Although she was deeply saddened by the death of my grandfather, she was not in too much grief. She was kidnapped by Li Si'er, Longkodo's concubine!
And... my mother... my mother is not sick either. She was locked up in the woodshed by Li Si'er and has been abused ever since!
Please, Your Majesty, show mercy and allow me to lead others to rescue my mother!"
