Chapter 377: Let it go (two more)

Si Yezhi walked outside, just in time to see Si Ting coming back.
"I have seen the Patriarch."
Si Ting clasped his fists in salute, his face like a knife was a little tight.
Si Yezhi was a little strange seeing him like this:
"Si Ting, shouldn't you be in the academy today, why are you back now?"
Si Ting hesitated for a moment and said:
"I heard something happened in the palace."
"What is it? Why don't I know?"
Si Yezhi was even more at a loss.
He has been sending people to contact the palace, if something really happened, he should know first.
How did Si Ting know when he was in Tianlu Academy?
And it seems not so good...
Si Ting looked at him and clenched his fists:
"Chu Liuyue did not go to the college today, but was called into the palace."
"How about—" Si Ye realized what he said as soon as he uttered his words, his expression changed, "You mean—it has something to do with the four princesses!?"
Si Ting nodded.
"I always feel wrong in my heart, so I came back to take a look in advance. Just now I just saw Grandpa Min standing at the door."
Si Ting pursed his lips.
Grandpa Min’s expression is not good...
At the very least, he had seen Grandpa Min so many times, and he had never seen that look on his face.
Moreover, this is clearly aimed at their Si family!
Si Yezhi's heart gradually sank.
Involving the four princesses, your majesty suddenly called out, and he must have known what they had secretly searched for Rong Zhen before!
What's more, maybe even Si Meng has been exposed!
He patted Si Ting on the shoulder hastily:
"I'll go to the palace first, and you will stay at home. If something happens... everything in the Si family is yours."
With that, he took out a token from his arms and stuffed it into Si Ting's hand.
Si Tingjian frowned.
What happened to make the Patriarch so nervous? Even directly handed him the token representing the identity of the head of the Si family?
"Patriarch, I can't take this, you still—"
"Take it!"
Si Yezhi's expression was so severe that he couldn't refuse.
Si Ting glanced at him and suddenly realized that the current situation might be more troublesome and dangerous than he thought.
He finally clenched the token tightly and nodded:
"Patriarch rest assured. Si Ting will definitely protect Si's family!"
Only then did Si Yezhi feel relieved, and took a deep look at Si Ting before turning to leave.
Si Ting looked at his back, and for some reason, the anxiety in his heart gradually spread.
...
On the other side, Si Yezhi hurriedly entered the palace along with Father Min.
On the road, he had wanted to find out what was going on several times, but Grandpa Min's mouth was so strict that he refused to disclose any news.
This made Si Yezhi more sure of his guess.
Something happened to the queen!
Otherwise, Grandpa Min would definitely not have such an attitude.
The two were speechless all the way, and when they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Si Yezhi had countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
Si Yezhi looked around calmly, and immediately found that the guards of the Imperial Study Room were much stricter than before, and the overall atmosphere was more serious and majestic than before.
His heart seemed to be hanging in the air, uncomfortably tight.
Grandpa Min came forward alone and respectfully said:
"Your Majesty, the Patriarch of the Si family has arrived."
The cold voice of Emperor Jiawen came from the imperial study room:
"Let him in!"
Grandpa Min looked at Si Yezhi and took a step back:
"Master Si, please--"
Si Yezhi took a deep breath and tidied his clothes before moving forward and pushing the door in.
As soon as he walked in and saw the scene inside, Si Yezhi's heart jumped fiercely!
I saw that in the spacious and quiet Imperial Study Room, after Emperor Jiawen was sitting at the table, the folds and pens on it had been swept down to the ground, a mess.
And the queen Si Huijing kneeled in front of him!
Her magnificent palace clothes were covered with dirt, her neatly combed bun was also very messy, her face was tear-stained, and her eyes were red and swollen.
She knelt there, her body filled with despair and pain.
Si Yezhi has never seen her look so embarrassed!
"Queen Empress!?"
He couldn't help but yelled aloud, and took a quick step forward.
However, he soon realized that there was Emperor Jiawen in this study!
He stopped quickly, turned his head to look at Emperor Jiawen, resisted the waves in his heart, and bowed to salute:
"Si Yezhi has seen your Majesty."
When the queen saw him coming, her sluggish eyes moved, and the expression on her face looked strange.
It seems that I want to cry, but I can't cry anymore.
Almost all the tears of her life shed today.
However, this did not make Emperor Jiawen feel soft.
Emperor Jiawen looked at Si Yezhi with heavy eyes.
"Si Yezhi, do you know why I called you over?!"
Si Yezhi only felt a strong pressure coming, and he knelt down almost without thinking:
"Weichen doesn't know, please also express your majesty!"
"You don't know? The Si family secretly searched Rong Zhen's whereabouts before, don't you know it?"
Emperor Jiawen’s voice was like a heavy hammer, smashing it down!
Si Yezhi's fists clenched tightly.
really!
Your Majesty already knows!
He immediately propped his hands on the ground, and his forehead slammed heavily on the ground!
"Weichen knows wrong! Please punish your majesty!"
"You know your mistake? I thought you were loyal to me. I didn't expect you to secretly cooperate with the queen to deceive me for many years! You already knew about Si Meng!? Si Yezhi! You are so good! of!"
Emperor Jiawen became more and more angry when he picked up the only remaining teacup and slammed it towards Si Yezhi!
boom!
The teacup slammed heavily in front of Si Yezhi!
Fragments splashed everywhere, and two pieces of blood quickly scratched Si Yezhi's face.
However, one of Si Ye dared not move, but bowed his head more respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the Weichen knows he is guilty, but none of this has anything to do with the Queen Empress! At first, it was the Weichen who worried that the Empress could not protect herself in the palace, so he specially arranged for Simeng. There is also the disappearance of the four princesses... Empress Empress is also afraid that you are too worried, so she wants to ask Weichen for help, not deliberately concealing it! In any case, the Weichen is willing to bear all the consequences!"
When Emperor Jiawen heard this, he sneered again and again.
"Take it with one effort? Do you have that qualification? Si Yezhi, you don't have to act in front of me. Rong Zhen hasn't disappeared at all! She was hidden by the queen at all!"
Si Ye was surprised and suddenly raised his head:
"what?!"
Emperor Jiawen narrowed his eyes when he saw his reaction.
"Why, your good sister didn't tell you?"
Si Yezhi's heart was in chaos, and he subconsciously looked at the queen on the side.
"Empress, what is going on?"
The queen hung her head.
She knew it was useless to say anything now.
Rong Zhen happened to appear in Qijiao Alley at that time, and even if she said those words herself, Emperor Jiawen had already determined everything!
She spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty, the concubine brothers really don't know anything about this, please let the Si family go."
