Chapter 69 He's So Despicable
Shao Ziqing and Huo Yuning had been fighting openly and secretly for several years, and everyone in the court knew that they were at odds with each other.
Huo Yuning regarded Shao Ziqing as a thorn in his side, and Shao Ziqing regarded Huo Yuning as a thorn in his side. In the final analysis, it was just a fight for power.
After so many years of grievances and resentments, even if Shao Ziqing didn't want to stand on the opposite side of Huo Yuning, he still had to stand on the opposite side. Because as soon as Shao Ziqing relaxed, Huo Yuning would find any opportunity to kill him and get rid of him quickly.
Huo Yuning looked at Shao Ziqing coldly at this moment, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Young master Shao, do you mean that you have to argue with me?"
Shao Ziqing chuckled lightly, raised his fingertips and rubbed them casually, as if casually, but his tone was very harsh: "Is it too late for the prince to tell me this now? When you tortured my wife, you thought
what?"
Huo Yuning clenched his teeth visibly, and the veins on his temples popped out.
He had exhausted all his agencies and set up traps step by step, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken Shao Ziqing, but he did not expect that the volume would actually be in Shao Ziqing's hands.
Shao Ziqing was not a vegetarian. Although the emperor handed the matter over to Huo Yuning for trial, Shao Ziqing took the records to the imperial study in the afternoon and reported to the emperor that he had investigated the case. Jiang Huai used his power to find the case.
He made a scapegoat and even arranged the whole incident without any gaps, so he was greatly appreciated by the emperor.
This made Huo Yuning very passive. He was the one who presided over the trial, but he was not the one who investigated the matter. What would the emperor think? He would more or less feel that he, the prince, was not doing things well.
Now, it seems that Shao Ziqing is suing Huo Yuning in front of the emperor, which is adding insult to injury for Shao Ziqing.
Huo Yuning sat there, staring at Shao Ziqing's face, his mind was in a mess. He was thinking of the final remedy, at least not to let the emperor despise him.
Shao Ziqing raised his eyes and met Huo Yuning's eyes at this time, and said straightforwardly: "We are wise people and don't tell secrets. I know who you want to scheme against. If you want to harm me, just come for me. Why do you need to make things difficult for a woman?"
?This would be unbecoming of a man."'
Haha, this man Shao Ziqing was obviously the one who harmed Jiang Zuiyao, but now he said these words with dignity.
Shao Ziqing clenched his teeth with hatred. He really didn't want to bow his head, but under the current circumstances, he had to bow his head: "Tell me what you want me to do before you let me go."
Shao Ziqing smiled, very proudly and satisfied, as if he was waiting for Huo Yuning to say this.
Shao Ziqing stood up slowly and said solemnly: "You can do it if you don't want me to mention this matter in front of Your Majesty. The condition is that you give up the elite soldiers in your hands."
As soon as these words came out, Huo Yuning's face was immediately shocked.
The elite soldiers are a special security team in Zhaojing and Kyoto. All of them are good at fighting. Huo Yuning also spent a lot of effort to get this team of elite soldiers. With this team, Huo Yuning can
Under the emperor's nose, many things could be done in Zhaojing.
For example, he can kill whoever he wants.
Huo Yuning felt that Shao Ziqing was too open-minded, and he suffered too much. He said angrily: "Shao Ziqing, you have no official title, but you are worthy of serving with me as an elite soldier?"
Shao Ziqing replied: "It is useless for me to ask for elite soldiers, but I hope that the prince can give up the elite soldiers to His Highness the Second Prince."
Huo Yuning clenched his teeth angrily: "I'm just the son of a wealthy businessman, but he's worthy of negotiating terms with this prince?"
Shao Ziqing shrugged indifferently, with a very relaxed expression on his face: "I'm not forcing you. You don't have to hand over your elite soldiers if you don't want to. The worst thing you can do is wait for me to report your evil deeds today to Your Majesty tomorrow."
Huo Yuning was so angry that if he didn't care about this, why would he bother here for so long?
Now that the emperor is old and Huo Yuning is almost thirty, he wishes he could become the emperor tomorrow. If he could have rebelled, he would have rebelled long ago. Why wait until today to become the prince?
It's true that he is a prince, but it was the emperor who sealed him, and the emperor can also remove him from his position as prince.
In recent years, he has acted arrogantly. Although the emperor said nothing on the surface, he knew it in his heart. If he made the emperor unhappy, it would be very detrimental to him.
After weighing the pros and cons and considering the overall situation as the top priority, Huo Yuning still lowered his head.
He was so unwilling that he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Okay, I will make a request to my father tomorrow to hand over my elite soldiers."
Shao Ziqing smiled with satisfaction: "Well, I will wait for your good news in the morning tomorrow."
After saying these words, Shao Ziqing walked out the door.
Jiang Zuiyao also left the Criminal Department, said goodbye to Jiang Huai, got on the sedan, and returned to the mansion.
Shao Ziqing sent Jiang Zuiyao back to the bedroom. She knew that Shao Ziqing would not be so kind. If he could come with her, he must have something to say.
Li Yan asked the kitchen to make hot dishes and rice, while Linghui re-applied Jiang Zuiyao's medicine.
Jiang Zuiyao could not move her hands now, so Linghui fed her herself. She had not eaten for a day and was very hungry. She drank two bowls of porridge and ate a piece of cake.
This is already a lot for Jiang Zuiyao, who has a small appetite.
By the time Jiang Zuiyao took a rest, it was already very late and the moon was hanging in the center of the sky.
Tonight, Linghui went to bed. She was waiting at the door. Jiang Zuiyao and Shao Ziqing were the only ones left in the dormitory.
Shao Ziqing sat on the soft couch, looked at Jiang Zuiyao's still pale face, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Zuiyao had an indifferent look on her face and sat silently.
"You deserve it!" Shao Ziqing said this with hatred, which made Jiang Zuiyao's heart feel cold.
Such words made Jiang Zuiyao angry: "I took the blame for you!"
"What? Do I still need to thank you?"
Shao Ziqing's rhetorical question finally made Jiang Zuiyao feel chilled. He had clearly plotted against her and caused her to be punished for no reason, yet he ended up like this.
Shao Ziqing said nonchalantly: "You schemed against me, and I will do the same, and I will pay you back twice as much!"
Jiang Zuiyao tightened her lips and said angrily: "You are so despicable!"
"Am I despicable?" Shao Ziqing smiled coldly: "What were you thinking when you plotted against me? In order to marry me, you and your concubine conspired to poison me, and then for the reputation of the Jiang family, in order not to delay
Your concubine entered the palace as a concubine and said that I defiled you. Now you are calling me despicable? How ridiculous!"
"What do you think you are? Who is willing to marry you? That Jiang Zuiyao was too stupid back then. If it were me, I wouldn't do this!" Jiang Zuiyao's hysterical and impulsive shouting made Shao Ziqing a little bit hesitant.
He didn’t understand, but he didn’t take these words to heart at the moment and said coldly: “Let me tell you, Jiang Zuiyao, if you dare to yell at me again, I will never tolerate you next time!”
