Chapter 569 - 571: The Return of the Ghost King (Part 4)
Yi Shaochen swept a glance at Yi Shaoxuan, who was watching Mo Xi with glowing eyes, and a gentle smile played on his lips, a dashing young nobleman, seemingly disregarding the darkness in his eyes.
"Father," he said, "recently, Lord Ouyang asked me to help transport some medicinal herbs. However, when my men arrived at the city gates, they were seized by General Lin Xin, who claims to be a man under the Third Imperial Brother. He slandered Lord Ouyang’s herbs as poison, so I’ve come to ask for clarification from you, Father."
Yi Shaoxuan was taken aback, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly formed on his forehead.
Indeed, that bastard Lin Xin had just delivered several carts of herbs to Prince Xuan Mansion, and seeing that the herbs were all valuable tonics, he decided to keep them, intending to find an opportunity to present them to Father. Who would have thought that the seized goods belonged to the Ouyang Family?
Looking at the Emperor with a steely face and Ouyang Yunjin with a clouded expression, his legs went weak, and he knelt to the ground with a thump, "Father, your son had no knowledge that the herbs Lin Xin brought had been seized. Please understand, Father!"
"Hmph!" the Emperor said, his eyes dark and stormy as he let out a cold snort, "Yi Shaoxuan, you indeed have a great deal of audacity, even daring to seize the Ouyang Family’s medicines!"
"Father, your son truly didn’t know, please spare me, Father."
Yi Shaoxuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead but cursed Lin Xin thousands of times in his heart. If that scoundrel were before him now, he would surely make him suffer a fate worse than death!
