Chapter 1356 The Paranoid Emperor: Shall We Go to Hell Together? (57)
Inside the Dali Temple, the air was filled with a musty smell. Although Xili had arranged everything, the guards on duty at the Dali Temple still looked very good.
"You are watching the serious criminals who killed the beloved of the current emperor. Time is limited. Come out as soon as you speak." The guard shook the silver in his hand and glanced at the men next to him and said, "Let them in."
When he heard the words "beloved", Luo Qingchen couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Xijin was locked in the innermost cell, covered with moss and spider webs.
Luo Qingchen frowned, and his heart trembled unconsciously. What happened in the past year that made Feng Sizui so paranoid about a face.
He was so paranoid that he could lock Xijin, a gentleman friend for ten years, directly into the Dali Temple. What on earth was in his mind?
"Stupid monarch!" Xili murmured and strode forward.
"What?" Luo Qingchen followed him and pursed his lips and said, "Your sister has irrefutable evidence, how can the emperor be a tyrant?"
Everyone has someone they want to protect in their hearts, and she is no exception.
Even if the most important thing at the moment is to help Xijin clear the charges, she still can't stand others saying that Feng Sizui is not good.
"Why is he not a tyrant?" Xili heard the words, her back straightened, stopped and turned around and said, "He would rather believe two sisters who have just entered the palace not long ago, and don't believe my sister who has spent ten years with him. She is obsessed with sex, isn't she a tyrant?"
Xili seemed very angry. After all, his sister, who had been well-fed and well-clothed since childhood, was actually locked up in such a dark and cold cage. He was unwilling in his heart.
"Ridiculous!" Luo Qingchen's cold eyes narrowed, and he looked at him word by word with great seriousness: "If it weren't for the emperor, your sister would probably have been buried with that General Ningyuan!"
"You..." Xili was a little speechless, and he seemed to be able to see a hint of anger in her eyes.
But he didn't know why she was angry.
"What do you mean by me?" Luo Qingchen raised his clear eyes and said, "You also said that the evidence is conclusive in public. What do you want the emperor to do? Do you want to favor your sister, the murderer?"
"My sister didn't kill anyone!" Xili bit her lip and said firmly with every word.
"Did you see it?" Luo Qingchen shrugged, his eyebrows trembling slightly, and said, "No one saw who poisoned her, and your sister can only become the target of public criticism. Feng... The emperor did nothing wrong. Do you want the king of a country to cover up and protect her in front of his subjects?"
For a long time, there was silence around.
Her sonorous words made Xili unable to say a word of rebuttal. She just turned around and said lightly, "You really spoke for him."
"Sorry." She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I may not have taken your feelings into consideration."
"No, you are right." Xili walked forward without looking back.
Luo Qingchen seemed to only hear him say a very light word: "I just don't like to hear you praise him so much."
One is his sister, and the other is a person he trusted and admired the first time they met, but they both seemed to be saying good things for a violent emperor.
"Sister..." Xili, who walked to the front, stood in front of the innermost iron cage and called softly.
Xijin in the cage was stunned, turned around slowly, and said tentatively: "Is it, Xiaoli?"
"It's me, it's me, sister..."
Xijin's nose was sore, and tears fell, and every word and every sentence was almost sobbing.
