C273 Going to the Palace to Confront Them
Although Patriarch Xiong was a relative of the Chu Country, his status was still a little lacking. Only by having Hsiang Yunli's mother follow him would he be able to create a bigger commotion.
Regarding this matter, Hsiang Yunli's mother naturally wouldn't reject it. Xiong Dahai was her nephew, and he had watched her grow up. Now that he had died in Ye Tian's hands, she naturally wouldn't let him off lightly.
Furthermore, it was also Ye Tian who had caused Hsiang Yunli to become a bastard. If Ye Tian wasn't eliminated, who knew what kind of changes would happen in the future?
Thus, the siblings quickly arranged for a sedan chair to be sent to the Imperial Palace. They had to find Chu King and demand an explanation!
At this time, Ye Tian had already returned home. Everyone in Ye family knew that Ye Tian must have done something very unusual, but no one knew that Ye Tian had killed Xiong Dahai from the Xiong family.
Ye Tian didn't return to his room. Instead, he waited outside. Four hours had passed, but Ye Tian didn't receive any revenge from the Xiong family. Instead, it was the old official who brought the Imperial Guard to the Imperial City.
The old official had been by Chu King's side for more than half of his life. He had seen countless storms and waves, but he had never been moved by them. No matter how much time passed, he would always maintain a gentle smile.
However, Ye Tian knew that no matter where he went, the old official would come out to convey Chu King's message. This matter must not be a trivial matter, and Ye Tian also knew what this matter was.
"Champion Marquis, this old servant was only sent by the king to find you for some things. Let's set off now!"
The old official didn't say it clearly, but Ye Tian still knew something. He asked his servant to bring Guanghan Marquis out and lifted him up from the ground.
Looking at the changes in Guanghan Marquis, the old official only took a glance at him, but he didn't show any reaction. On the contrary, when Guanghan Marquis saw the old official, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw!
"Head Chief, you have to help me. This Ye Tian relied on Chu King's trust to come to my mansion and start a fight. I am now crippled. Head Chief, you have to help me!"
Of course, Guanghan Marquis knew the identity of the old official. As long as the old official nodded his head, no matter how difficult it was in front of Chu King, it would make Chu King change his mind.
These few days, he had been placed under house arrest in Ye family. Even though his body was paralyzed, Guanghan Marquis was still surrounded by many servants of Ye family. Every movement of his could not escape the eyes of the Ye family.
Especially Su Xue, who had left a deep impression on Guanghan Marquis. In front of Su Xue, Guanghan Marquis didn't have the slightest bit of luck. Everything that he had was in Su Xue's hands.
Now that he was finally released, Guanghan Marquis could only place all his hopes on the old official when he saw him.
"Guanghan Marquis, you must not harm me. Everything in the world is decided by Chu King. What decision can I make for you?"
The old official waved his hand repeatedly. He was trying to shirk the responsibility, but at the same time, he was dissatisfied with what Guanghan Marquis said.
Although his words could change some things, this was Chu King's plan. Including Ye Tian, he was merely a pawn of Chu King.
If he said something that could affect the situation at this time, Chu King wouldn't be happy even if the old official had been by Chu King's side for many years.
Guanghan Marquis saw the old official's attitude and then looked at Ye Tian who was very calm. He had some guesses in his heart.
"Uncle, let's set off now. Don't let the king get anxious!"
Ye Tian immediately urged the old official to leave. The old official happily accepted it and left with Ye Tian, leaving Guanghan Marquis to the Imperial Guard in the Imperial City to guard.
When they arrived in the Imperial Palace, Ye Tian saw Chu King in the palace. At this moment, Patriarch Xiong was kneeling in front of Chu King. Hsiang Yunli's mother was also sitting quietly beside Chu King.
"Ye Hou is here. Can you tell me what happened at home again?"
Chu King smiled faintly when he saw Ye Tian. Then, he waved his hand at Patriarch Xiong and asked him to tell him what had happened.
Patriarch Xiong stood up and saw that Ye Tian wanted to tear Ye Tian to pieces with his eyes. He also wanted to tell Ye Tian about Xiong Dahai's death.
"My king, although Ye Tian is a first class marquis, he killed innocent people in the Imperial City to create hype for himself. This Ye Tian has evil intentions!"
Xiong Dahai said everything that had happened with tears in his voice. He did not mention anything that was beneficial to Ye Tian. He even put a huge hat on Ye Tian!
After all, Chu King had Hsiang Yunli's mother by his side, which made Patriarch Xiong very confident. Logically speaking, the people in this palace were all with them, and only Ye Tian was a real outsider.
Taking advantage of such an advantage, it wasn't impossible to completely strike Ye Tian down.0
"My king, you have to make the decision for Chenqie's family. That Da Hai was the lucky one who was carried by you in the past. There was only one person in Xiong family who could achieve great things, but he was killed by someone..."
After Patriarch Xiong finished speaking, Hsiang Yunli's mother started sobbing beside Chu King. Although she was a little old, when this woman cried, it was really like a rain of tears, filled with all kinds of emotions.
However, Ye Tian knew that Hsiang Yunli's mother didn't have such a murderous intention because of his nephew. More importantly, what happened to Hsiang Yunli now was what happened to him.
Only by getting rid of Ye Tian could he bring Hsiang Yunli back to the position of prince.
"Do I need you to tell me what to do before I do anything?"
Just as Hsiang Yunli's mother finished her words, Chu King turned his head coldly, displaying the aura of an emperor.
Such an attitude frightened Hsiang Yunli's mother on the spot. She knew that Chu King's words had caused great displeasure!
If she said another word about this matter, it might make Chu King furious and make things worse. Therefore, Hsiang Yunli's mother could only lower her head and not dare to say another word.
"Ye Hou, you have heard all of this just now. What do you think?"
Chu King once again focused his gaze on Ye Tian, and his expression became calm.
"My king, Patriarch Xiong said it was me, Ye Tian, who killed Xiong Dahai, but he did not tell me the cause. Patriarch Xiong did not mention that the family had colluded with the marquis in the past hundred years."
After Ye Tian said that, Patriarch Xiong, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked.
It was because he knew about this taboo that Patriarch Xiong didn't mention anything that was beneficial to Ye Tian. But now that Ye Tian mentioned it, it was no longer the same.
After that, under Ye Tian's brief explanation, Chu King asked the Imperial Guard to bring Guanghan Marquis to the palace, and also asked Guanghan Marquis to tell him everything that had happened.
It seemed like Guanghan Marquis was very unruly, but his personality was only limited to those who weren't Chu King. In the face of Chu King who was sitting in a high position, Guanghan Marquis told them everything.
From the time he was on good terms with the Xiong family to the time when he killed Little Six... In the end, he was thanked by Xiong Dahai, and Guanghan Marquis didn't dare to miss anything. Because if he were to confess, he might still have a chance in front of Chu King. But if he kept it a secret, Chu King wouldn't know what it was like now.
Ye Tian was also watching from the side calmly. The more Guanghan Marquis spoke, the uglier Patriarch Xiong's face became. At this moment, Patriarch Xiong's face had completely turned white.
Hsiang Yunli's mother, who was standing beside Chu King, couldn't help but tremble. She naturally knew that the Xiong family had been completely exposed this time!
