I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 776 Today's drama depends entirely on acting skills

Emperor Hong De not only saw through Xiao Jingyi's thoughts, but also knew that what he needed to do now was to control the strength just right... let them keep the string tight, but never break it.

"Forget it... Forget it... Zhang Jinyan, although what you did today is unforgivable, it was I who granted the marriage between my nephew and your daughter in the first place!

You should be thankful that you are my nephew's father-in-law.

I won't kill you.

But, how to deal with you... I still need to think carefully about it.

If not for you, I also want to think about my nephew!"

As soon as Emperor Hong De said these words, Zhang Jinyan felt relieved... he would not die!

Xiao Jingyi also felt relieved.

Zhang Jinyan felt like he had walked to the gates of hell, stood there for a while, and fortunately he left, at least his life was saved!

Judging from what Emperor Hongde said, he really couldn't blame himself too harshly because of his identity as Prince Yi's father-in-law.

This means that there is still room for improvement.

This also shows that Xiao Jingyi, his nephew, is indeed very important in the heart of Emperor Hongde.

So, once Emperor Hongde has calmed down, can big things be resolved into small ones, and small things be eliminated?

In fact, to be honest, ever since Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian was executed, he was not the only one who had been plotting against His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the position of Prince Yu's wife, and impeaching "the daughter of a guilty minister" Leng Rongyue!

Everyone else is fine, so how could it be that only I, the father-in-law of Prince Yi, would lose my head!

I should be able to escape danger myself!

Maybe the emperor just wants to take advantage of this issue today!

He used stern words to reprimand his father-in-law, Prince Yi, in order to silence the gossips of the people.

Then... today I can't completely break off with my prince's son-in-law.

If he, the prince's son-in-law, wanted to leave a good image of a loyal and righteous person in front of the court officials and wanted to keep the background and connections of the Second Assistant Minister's Mansion, then he should find a way to protect himself in front of his uncle.

Protect yourself, be good to yourself and to him.

In that case, I will let him go today and not bite him to death first.

Xiao Jingyi also felt relieved...

It seems that this imperial uncle still values his nephew!

That's right, his uncle must show his love for him, the orphan of the former crown prince, in front of the people of the world, and he must not easily hurt the people around him.

Killed his father-in-law, the orphan of the former crown prince;

Killing his nephew's father-in-law...

My uncle, the emperor, would not do such a thing so easily.

Now it seems that he still has no doubts about himself.

That's why he took his own feelings into consideration and let Zhang Jinyan go.

The stick of punishment would be raised as high as it was just now, and would fall as gently as it is now.

In that case, I might as well take advantage of the situation.

There is no rush.

Therefore, there is no need to decide whether Zhang Jinyan and Zhang Miaoying should stay or go right away.

At this time, Xiao Jingyi was bowing to Emperor Hongde with a look of admiration and gratitude on his face, "Thank you, uncle, for your kindness!"

Xiao Jingyi hurled his head to the ground.

His head hit the gold brick, and several court officials who were nearby heard a "bang" sound.

When Xiao Jingyi raised his head again, he couldn't see whether his forehead was swollen or not, but... it was purple!

"You kid... stand aside!"

Emperor Hong De waved his hand impatiently as if he was a little angry.

"Yes, Uncle Emperor!"

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyi kowtowed again, then stood up and returned to his original position.

However, when he bowed his head, he whispered: "Don't worry, father-in-law, it's okay!"

With Emperor Hongde’s previous performance and Xiao Jingyi’s words, Zhang Jinyan felt at ease.

Even if he were thrown into prison now, he would not be afraid!

He was not afraid of returning, so Emperor Hongde really threw him into the Heavenly Prison.

Emperor Hong De looked at Xiao Jingyi with a look of disappointment as he stood aside.

When he looked at Zhang Jinyan again, he seemed to be angrier again.

"Zhang Jinyan, don't think that you'll be alright just because you're Prince Yi's father-in-law!

Where is the golden armor?"

"Your Majesty, the Golden Armor Guards are here!"

As Emperor Hong De finished speaking, four golden-armored guards walked with steady and powerful steps all the way to the Golden Palace and stopped behind Zhang Jinyan.

The four of them bowed to Emperor Hongde and said, "The Golden Armored Guards greet the Emperor!"

"waived!"

Emperor Hong De raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Jinyan...

"As a subject, Zhang Jinyan actually dares to disrespect me. Does he think I really have no temper?

You guys throw Zhang Jinyan into the prison for a few days. I don't want to see him these days!"

Emperor Hong De's actions made not only Zhang Jinyan a little dumbfounded, but even the civil and military officials in the court were a little dumbfounded!

The emperor's actions today... why do they seem like a joke?

The crime of deceiving the emperor and disobeying the order...will we pursue it?

He ordered the Golden Armor Guards to send Zhang Jinyan to the Sky Prison... It seemed that he was not thrown into the Sky Prison because he had committed a serious crime, but... he was simply angry and didn't want to see him!

Zhang Jinyan was also puzzled!

Am I guilty or not?

Or... the emperor just wanted to vent his anger by locking himself up for a few days?

The emperor ordered the golden-armored guards to throw him into the Heavenly Prison for a few days...How many days would that be?

After I came out of the Heavenly Prison... uh... can I still be the second assistant?

At this moment, Zhang Jinyan had no time to think or ask more questions, nor did he dare to ask.

Before Zhang Jinyan could figure out what was going on, he was taken away by the Golden Armor Guards.

In the Golden Palace, court officials like Duke Anguo Fu Peng, Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan, Minister of Personnel Lu Zhenian, Minister of Revenue Jian Chengye and others who were loyal to Emperor Hongde did not have any confusion in their hearts.

Even if they had not discussed it in advance, they understood that everything the emperor did today was mostly acting, or simply a maze.

The real purpose is hidden in the word "act" and "play".

Several people understood it in their hearts.

Then he glanced at Emperor Hongde in a high position, and it became clearer in his mind -

Zhang Jinyan was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison this time. Even if he managed to get out alive, he would never be able to return to his Cifu Mansion.

As for Ci Fu’s family... just wait and see!
