The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 234 Little Swallow Xiao Yun

But when he was about to ask, the emperor stopped abruptly, not wanting to think too much about it, and he coughed lightly.

"Xiao Jian, since you refuse to reveal the reason for assassinating the Crown Prince and the Princess, according to Qing law, you must be beheaded immediately. However, since you did not cause them any serious harm, I can spare your death sentence, but I cannot escape punishment for your crimes. I sentence you to exile in the frontier. Do you accept this?"

Are they actually going to sentence him to exile? Then how could he possibly survive? Xiao Jian gritted his teeth and knelt down. Something occurred to him, and he shouted, "I regret this! I want you to make my sister a county lord!"

He was wrong. He had done something wrong. Even if he managed to escape today, there was no guarantee that Prince Guo and Fu Ling'an would not retaliate against him.

By then, Xiaoyanzi will really become an orphan.

Xiaoyanzi is impulsive. How will she live without his protection?

Moreover, after hearing what Yongheng said just now, Xiao Jian always felt that they were about to guess Xiaoyanzi's identity.

It was his fault as a brother. He wanted to help his sister vent her anger but failed to do it well. He was useless.

But if he was exiled, what would they do if they found out Xiaoyanzi's identity and took revenge on her?

Since that's the case, it's better to help Xiaoyanzi get some compensation in the end. Xiao Jian wants to ensure that Xiaoyanzi can be happy when he is not around. Besides, with this reputation, they will have to think twice even if they want to harm Xiaoyanzi.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jian looked directly at the emperor and said seriously, "I plead guilty and accept the punishment. It was wrong of me to assassinate the princess and the prince, but I regret it now. Emperor, you owe our Xiao family and my sister. I want you to announce your mistake to the world and make my sister a county lord, so that she can enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of her life."

With the emperor's guilt and the supervision of the people of the world, Xiaoyanzi, the country lady, will surely be able to live happily and no one will dare to bully her.

Conferring the title of a county lady only meant an extra monthly salary, which was not a big deal for the emperor, so he was naturally willing to do it.

only……

"I didn't make any mistakes. It was Mayu who killed your father. I will redress Xiao Zhihang's innocence and treat your sister well, but that's all."

The emperor was not afraid of Xiao Jian having any requests, but was afraid of Xiao Jian not having any requests. If he agreed to Xiao Jian's requests, he would feel better.

Xiao Jian was still making his final struggle: "Then you must at least let the world know that my sister's status as a county lady is because of my father."

"Of course. Shouldn't you tell me who your sister is?"

When asking this question, the emperor felt a little nervous for no reason, worried about hearing the name he didn't want to hear from him.

"My sister's name is Xiao Yun."

Yongheng and Fu Lingan looked at each other strangely. Who is Xiao Yun? They didn’t know him.

Just when the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Jian's words choked him again.

"It's Little Swallow."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. The ministers present looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone knew Xiaoyanzi very well. She was so bold as to pretend to be a princess and even turned the palace upside down. It turned out that this was the retribution for the emperor.

Yongheng was also shocked. If Xiaoyanzi was Xiao Jian's sister, then didn't Xiao Jian want to kill him and his sister just because they had offended Xiaoyanzi?

Xiao Jian loves his sister, but he is really cruel to others.

Yong Heng gnashed his teeth, wishing he could strangle Xiao Jian to death with his own hands, "Xiao Yanzi? Are you going to kill us just because we offended Xiao Yanzi?"

Xiao Jian didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. He grinned and said, "Didn't I tell you it's not because of my sister, it's because you guys deserve to die."

Anyone who makes his sister unhappy deserves to die.

Yongheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed forward and punched him in the face. When he wanted to punch him again, he was pulled back by Prince Guo and Fu Ling'an.

"Yongheng must not act recklessly. The emperor has already punished him." Prince Guo also wanted to beat the man in front of him!

Yongheng was breathing heavily. If looks could kill, the man in front of him would have died countless times.

Xiao Jian was punched but instead of getting angry he laughed.

Prince Guo and Fu Ling'an looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. Fu Ling'an silently stood in front of Yongheng to prevent him from being impulsive again.

It wouldn't look good to do it in front of so many people, so it's better to take revenge in private.

The emperor's face was also not looking good. He didn't expect that Xiaoyanzi was really Xiao Jian's sister. Although Xiao Jian did not admit it, how could the emperor not guess his true purpose? He was so vicious, and now he had to hold his nose and appoint his sister as the county lady. It was really disgusting.

"Alright, stop making trouble. Let's leave it at that. I will have you personally supervise the execution of Mayu before exiling you."

As he spoke, the emperor glanced at Prince Guo lightly. Others could not tell what his younger brother was thinking, but as his elder brother, the emperor understood that he had to at least wait until Mayu died before taking any action.

The emperor issued a notice to clear Xiao Zhihang's name, and at the same time, as compensation, he appointed Xiao Zhihang's daughter Xiao Yun as a county lady.

Also announced was the news that Xiao Jian had failed in his attempt to assassinate the prince and the princess and was about to be exiled.

When the notice was posted, Liu Qing happened to pass by.

After taking a quick look, Liu Qing was horrified. He hurried back to Huibinlou to inform them.

It was so shocking. I thought Xiao Jian was busy with something, but I didn’t expect that he was caught after disappearing for so many days.

"Xiao Jian is going to be exiled!"

When Xiaoyanzi heard Liu Qing's words, her heart skipped a beat. She covered her heart with her hands, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Really? The notices have been posted. The recent assassination of Prince Guo and Princess Guo that caused a lot of controversy was done by Xiao Jian. Xiao Jian was also implicated in the previous White Lotus assassination."

"But also posted was the case of Xiao Jian's father, Xiao Daxia, who was wrongly accused many years ago. It was local corrupt officials who framed Xiao Daxia and killed 19 members of his family!"

Liu Qing was silent for a moment. "Xiao Jian thought that the emperor was the murderer of his father, so he attacked the emperor."

No wonder Xiao Jian left without saying goodbye, no wonder Xiao Jian always comes and goes without a trace. Although they are friends, no one knows Xiao Jian's background or what he does.

It turned out to be an assassin.

Liu Hong obviously thought more than Liu Qing. It turned out that the man who attempted to assassinate the emperor had been living in their inn and had become friends with them. Fortunately, he was caught on the spot, so the prince and the princess were not in danger. If he had succeeded, their guesthouse would have been implicated.

"But what does this have to do with the princess and the prince?"

Liu Qing shrugged: "Who knows? Fortunately, we were not implicated."

Xiaoyanzi was still immersed in shock. She seemed to be unable to hear any sound and could only see Liu Qing and Liu Hong's mouths opening and closing. Why was she so heartbroken when she learned that Xiao Jian had been exiled, even though she and he were just friends?

Xiaoyanzi covered her chest with her hands, feeling extremely heartbroken and uncomfortable in her chest. She felt so dizzy that she couldn't stand.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong were still in shock and did not notice that something was wrong with Xiaoyanzi.
