The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 528 Minor Matters
Although the emperor had some doubts about their statements, he could not vent his anger on the two generals.

He was angry with them this time just to give them a warning. He asked coldly, "Where is Xiao Wenyu now?"

Nan Xuan responded to the emperor respectfully: "Your Majesty, the censor was seriously injured in the battle in Lingnan and cannot move. I am afraid his life is in danger.

Therefore, I have temporarily placed him in my little house to recuperate."

Lin Dalang was observing the emperor's expression from the side, and saw that the emperor's expression seemed to ease after hearing the news that Censor Xiao was seriously injured.

He could not help but say angrily: "I didn't expect that he would dare to go to Lingnan without permission. He is simply crazy! This is a serious crime. If it weren't for this great victory, he would probably have died. No wonder my father always thought he was honest and stupid. Now it seems that it is true."

Nan Xuan also showed a confused expression: "Yes, why would he take this risk?"

The emperor listened to the conversation between the two and his anger gradually dissipated.

After all, this was a great victory, and Censor Xiao was injured as a result, so he could indeed be given a lighter sentence.

The emperor had already made up his mind, but he deliberately delayed, leaving Nan Xuan and Lin Dalang in the hall and summoning Xiao Yunfeng.

The emperor asked Xiao Yunfeng the same question.

Xiao Yunfeng did not dare to shirk responsibility like Nan Xuan and Lin Dalang did, and put all the blame on Xiao Yushi. Instead, he confessed the truth: "Father has always been resentful of my sister Yunxi because of the death of our mother. Although my sister was sent away since she was young, the relationship between father and daughter has eased slightly in recent years. When she was ordered to go to the war, father did not know about it, and I accidentally let it slip. Father was worried that my sister lacked practical experience, but he did not dare to enter the palace to ask for permission, so he had to chase her secretly."

Xiao Yunfeng knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, my father is just worried about my daughter, fearing that she will ruin your plans. He knows that this trip will anger your Majesty, but out of love for his daughter and loyalty to the country, he has to do this. Your Majesty, please consider his fatherly love and patriotism and give him a lighter sentence. I know that I am guilty of leaking secrets, and I am willing to be severely punished."

The emperor had also heard about the affairs of the Censorate. He knew that although Xiao's private trip to Lingnan violated the rules, it was understandable. So he waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's really hard to talk to you nerds. You always talk a lot. You lied to me, so you are guilty. I will fine you one year's salary. Go!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunfeng kowtowed and thanked the emperor: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. But my father..."

The emperor interrupted him: "I know my limits. How can your crime be compared with his?" There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Xiao Yunfeng didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much.

He knew that the emperor had been lenient with Censor Xiao's behavior, and he was lucky to be able to save his life.

As for his father, he could only hope for the emperor's mercy and for his good judgment.

At this time, Nan Xuan and Lin Dalang also understood the emperor's intention.

They knew that although the emperor was dissatisfied with Xiao Yushi's behavior, he decided to give him a lighter sentence considering the sacrifices he made for the country and his daughter.

The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Xuan and Lin Dalang listened quietly and felt a little relieved.

Although they were lucky to escape the death penalty, they both knew that being able to keep their lives was a blessing from God.

As for the official positions and titles of the past, they are secondary matters. Only life is the most precious existence.
