The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1907: Don’t Cry Until You See the Coffin

When he saw Yuwen Xuhong and Zhou Anping being escorted into the study by the royal guards, the Crown Prince’s expression could not help but be surprised for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

Yuwen Xuhong looked confused and at a loss.

He didn’t even know when he was brought into the royal study.

He thought that he could escape, but unexpectedly, he bumped into the Yama Pavilion Master. Then, he heard them say,” Leave it to the old emperor.” After that, he fell into a coma in fear. When he woke up, he was already in his study.

Before he could react, he was brought into the palace by Commander Lin and the others.

“Imperial Grandfather, this…What’s going on?” Yuwen Xuhong asked in confusion and shock.

He looked innocent and aggrieved.

When the Emperor heard Yuwen Xuhong’s words, his face sank. His expression was not angry but authoritative. He asked very calmly,” Hong ‘er, you really don’t know what happened, or are you pretending not to know what happened?”

When Yuwen Xuhong heard this question, his expression could not help but freeze for a moment. The fear and viciousness in his eyes were obvious.

Then, his expression became very stiff. He pulled his face unnaturally and smiled in surprise.” Imperial Grandfather, grandson… Your grandson really didn’t know what had happened. Grandson was just lying down in the room to rest. In the end, Commander Lin and the others crudely tied him up and brought me here.”

When the Emperor heard Yuwen Xuhong say this, the disappointment in his eyes grew even deeper. His sharp gaze shot onto Yuwen Xuhong’s face, but the guilty Yuwen Xuhong did not dare to look him in the eye and directly lowered his head.

Immediately after, the Emperor snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, Yuwen Xuhong, looks like you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin! Even now, you’re still pretending!”

When Yuwen Xuhong heard this, he felt a chill down his spine. He had a bad feeling about this. He glanced at Prince Ping and the two assassins who were kneeling on the ground. Then, he glanced at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, who were safe and sound at the side. His uneasiness and anxiety grew stronger and stronger.

Then, he rolled his eyes and immediately knelt down. He kowtowed to the Emperor and said,” Imperial Grandfather, although your grandson doesn’t know what happened, I’m afraid that I’ll have to stand up to you. Or perhaps you’ve listened to some people’s slanderous words and misunderstood your grandson, but imperial grandfather. Please believe in your grandson!”

When he mentioned the slanderous remarks, he even paid special attention to Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, the Crown Prince, and the others. It was obvious that he was hinting at the slanderous remarks coming from Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and the Crown Prince.

When the Crown Prince heard this, his expression darkened. He asked sternly,” Hong ‘er, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Princess Guguo and Imperial Uncle said something that caused Imperial Father to wrongly accuse you?”

Yuwen Xuhong straightened his neck. His anger was not inferior to his. He was very angry and seemed to be guilty as he said,” Uncle Crown Prince, Imperial Nephew did not mention your name. Why did Imperial Uncle jump to this conclusion?”

The Crown Prince’s face was ashen. He pointed at Yuwen Xuhong angrily and was so angry that he could not speak.” You…”

Seeing the Crown Prince’s appearance, Yuwen Xuhong appeared somewhat proud.

However, before he could finish feeling smug, the Emperor’s voice rang out. He said very majestically,” Yuwen Xuhong, you really disappoint me! There is no greater good than knowing a mistake and being able to correct it! But you’re so stubborn and self-righteous. Do you really think that I’m a fatuous ruler? Do you think that I’ll accuse you just because others say a few words?”

Yuwen Xuhong could clearly see the disappointment and disappointment in his eyes. This caused his breathing to stop and his expression to become even more flustered.

He was very afraid and nervous as he said,” Imperial Grandfather, grandson… Your grandson…” He did not know how to explain himself.

The Emperor shouted sternly,” Enough! Yuwen Xuhong, you don’t have to explain!”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Prince Ping sharply and pointed at him. He said sternly,” It’s useless for you to pretend to be innocent. Prince Ping has already explained everything clearly! What else do you have to say?”

Yuwen Xuhong was stunned. He could not help but say,”All… Has he explained everything? How is this possible?”

However, Yuwen Xuhong immediately reacted after he said that. His expression changed.

It felt like he was confessing without being forced!

Pa!

The Emperor picked up a piece of paper filled with black words from the table and threw it at Yuwen Xuhong’s face. He once again shouted sternly,” Open your eyes wide and see who is the one who is maligning and slandering you!”

At this point, his expression was filled with disappointment. He sighed heavily and said,” You disappoint me!”

Yuwen Xuhong picked up the piece of paper that the Emperor had thrown up. When he saw the contents of the piece of paper, his pupils could not help but shrink. Then, his expression became very incredulous.

He muttered,”This… How is this possible?”

Then, he glared fiercely at Prince Ping. He had the sadness and innocence of being betrayed by someone he trusted. He questioned angrily,” Seventh Imperial Uncle, how could you do this? Why did you frame me?”

After saying that, he kowtowed to the Emperor again and said,” Imperial Grandfather, these are all not true. These are all… It’s all Seventh Imperial Uncle’s fault. Imperial Grandfather, please investigate!”

The Emperor was utterly disappointed.

Without saying anything, he picked up another piece of paper from the table and threw it at his face. He said coldly,” What else do you have to say after reading this?”

Yuwen Xuhong saw the Emperor’s furious expression, and his entire body trembled. His hands trembled as he picked up the piece of paper. When he saw the contents of the paper again, his eyes widened, and the expression he revealed became more and more frightened. In the end, his eyes could not help but darken.

Then, he crawled towards the Emperor, tears flowing out of his eyes. He cried out,” Imperial Grandfather, your grandson is innocent, your grandson is innocent. Imperial Grandfather, please believe me! I’ve been wronged!”

“Wronged?” The Emperor repeated himself and asked,” Then tell me, who wronged you? Was it your Seventh Imperial Uncle or these two assassins? Also, why didn’t they accuse others but you?”

Yuwen Xuhong’s face paled. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Because the Seventh Imperial Uncle and the two assassins had confessed everything, which was something he had never thought of.

In their plan, the Seventh Imperial Uncle would never betray him, and neither would the two assassins.

Taking a step back, even if these two assassins were captured, they did not have to worry. They would not betray him because they would only choose death.

However, the most impossible thing happened instead. Everything they had done was exposed at the last moment. They had all chosen to betray him!

The Emperor saw Yuwen Xuhong’s shocked expression and continued,” You have nothing to say! Then tell me, why did you do such a treasonous thing?”
