Chapter 1317: It’s over
As soon as he walked out of Baiyuan Palace, four Imperial Dragon Guards surrounded him.
“Master Meng, where are you going?”
Fu Zheng came out from behind Imperial Dragon Guards, his cold eyes fixed on Meng Changde’s face, and he sneered: “Are you leaving just now? Is there any urgent matter at the house?”
Meng Changde naturally recognized Fu Zheng, the two had never met, but he also knew that Fu Zheng was an important person around the Emperor. He only ran errands for the Emperor, and he was also the Chief of the Imperial Dragon Guards.Meng Changde laughed dryly and said: “I originally came to find the concubine to talk. But since the concubine is not here, I don’t want to stay longer. I am going back.”
Fu Zheng sneered: “It’s not that Imperial Concubine Meng is not here, but she is waiting for you in the imperial study. Let’s go, Master Meng!”
On the other side, Meng Nan was also invited into the palace by Imperial Dragon Guards. When he went to the imperial study, he saw Imperial Concubine Meng and his father kneeling on the cold ground, their faces pale.
He knew it was over.
But at this moment, when Meng Changde saw his son, he immediately spoke first: “Your Majesty, Nan’er is completely unaware of this matter, please spare Nan’er for the sake of the Meng family’s dedication and loyalty for more than a hundred years. ”
Chu Yan ignored Meng Changde. His cold eyes were only fixed on Meng Nan’s face, he hadn’t seen him for a few months. Meng Nan seemed to have lost weight again, his plump cheeks were slightly sunken.
Young men in their twenties should show a lot of vicissitudes on their faces.But the Meng Nan in front of him seemed no longer the Meng Nan he knew before.
“Meng Nan, speak!”
Meng Nan looked at his father and looked at his father’s begging eyes were full of tears. He knew that his father wanted to keep the blood of the Meng family, so he must clean up his relationship and prevent him from being implicated in the crime.
Withdrawing from his father’s gaze, he raised his eyes to meet Chu Yan’s probing and examining his sharp eyes.
“I don’t know what crimes did my father and aunt committed?” He asked.
Chu Yan said: “You don’t know?”
Meng Nan’s face was calm. His black eyes seemed as if there was a pool of stagnant water lying there, without any ripples.
“Please make it clear, Your Majesty!”
Chu Yan stared at Meng Nan without moving his eyes for a long time, trying to see something from his face or eyes, but his calm appearance showed no emotion, and he couldn’t understand anything.
Meng Nan was not like this in the past. He had both emotions and anger on his face. If he liked someone, he would say it out loud, and if he hated someone, he would say it out loud too.
But now?
After being silent for a while, Chu Yan said: “Since you don’t know about this matter, I can’t kill innocent people indiscriminately. It’s just that the Meng family is suspected of treason and should be punished according to the law. But I don’t want to commit crimes indiscriminately. I will not pursue anyone who has nothing to do with it.”
He stepped forward, walked slowly to Meng Nan’s side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: “Whether you have nothing to do with this matter or not, this time, I will let you go for the kindness of sacrificing your life to save Bai Zhi. From now on, don’t appear in front of Bai Zhi again, and don’t have any illusions about her, leave the capital, and never come back.”
Meng Nan didn’t make a sound, lowered his eyes, didn’t answer or refute, just arched his hands at him, turned, and left.
His seemingly steady pace after walking out of the imperial study, gradually became staggering, and his thin shoulders kept shrugging.
From today, the Meng family was over.
All his family members will die because of that unrealistic delusion.
Today, he has no relatives.
