Chapter 295 The guilty minister also kicked King Chang twice, so he should be punished as well

The palace gates opened.

Eunuch Shang looked at the dying Prince Chang and cried out in alarm. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the Marquis' arm: "Oh, what's wrong? Marquis, please stop hitting him. This is the Emperor's son! Lord Jiang, why don't you try to stop him?"

It's useless.

For Li Ningwan.

I just want to avenge my daughter.

Eunuch Shang gritted his teeth and raised his voice, "There's a fight at the palace gate. Where do you put the emperor? My Lord, the emperor wants you and the prince to go to the imperial study!"

Seeing that the Marquis finally stopped, he strode towards the palace.

He squatted down and looked at the prince whose face was covered in blood and who was coughing up blood. He quickly waved his hand and asked the guards to help him get into the carriage.

"Hurry, hurry, take him directly to the Imperial Hospital."

Prince Chang's face was swollen on both sides. He called Yun Lei in a daze, "Go find the princess, go find the prime minister, I want my father to make the decision!"

Not far away.

Jiusu felt uneasy, so he turned back and looked at the blood on the snow, and couldn't help shaking all over.

She shouted, "Jiang Jing!"

Jiang Jing said a few words to Eunuch Shang, then turned and walked out of the palace. Hiding his injured hand, he asked gently, "Aren't you going back?"

Jiusu's eyes were red as she asked, "Didn't you say you would help me look after my father?"

Jiang Jing was helpless: "My future father-in-law has taken action, how can I stand still? What if the Marquis despises me and doesn't even let me into the house?"

Jiusu was so angry that he hit him twice.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and she asked with a choked sob.

"What is the crime of hitting the prince?"

Jiang Jing thought for a moment and said, "The family property will be confiscated and the whole family will be exiled."

Jiusu was frightened, but quickly regained her composure. She said, "As long as I have a life left, even if I'm exiled, I can still support you... No, we fought King Chang for a reason. Besides, even if we are punished, King Chang can't escape the punishment of living!"

Just now, when I saw that pile of blood, I was really panicked.

Eunuch Shang reminded: "Master Jiang, hurry up and leave. Don't keep the emperor waiting anxiously."

Jiang Jing responded, then whispered a name into Jiusu's ear, patted her shoulder, and said, "The Marquis and I are all depending on you."

Looking at the palace gate that closed again.

Jiusu clenched his fists and murmured, "Ajing is right. Prince Chang will definitely ask the Prime Minister and the Princess to come. But we have evidence, so we are not afraid."

Her eyes lit up.

"Mingheng, let's go to Prince Chang's Mansion!"

In the imperial study, the emperor was angry.

Li Ningwan and Jiang Jing were kneeling outside the palace. The cold wind blew on them, and many snowflakes fell on their bodies. Prince Chang was still receiving treatment, and soon they would have to face the emperor's wrath.

Li Ningwan said, "You're quite good."

Jiang Jing's lips curled up, showing no guilt at all for having done anything wrong.

"Thank you for the compliment, my Lord."

Li Ningwan watched Eunuch Shang running around, and he said seriously: "Beating the prince is no small matter. Later, you will put it all on me. You will just be fined a few years of salary. My daughter has money and can support you."

"no…"

"Don't worry, I have made great contributions and will not die. But you are different. You have just returned. Do you still want to experience the feeling of exile?"

Jiang Jing pursed his lips and said slowly.

"My Lord, Ah Su just came back. She said she's not afraid of exile because she can afford it. If I run away from her, I won't be able to face Ah Su anymore, not to mention her."

Li Ningwan drooped his hands, his eyes fixed on the carried-up Prince Chang. Thinking of his wife and daughter, he asked, "Did I act impulsively?"

Eunuch Shang came to call the two of them.

Jiang Jing followed behind the Marquis, "You are a responsible father."

Li Ningwan smiled with satisfaction.

Hitting or not hitting is a choice, and every father has a different approach, but in the end, they love their daughters, and there is only one difference between revenge and arguing.

One is cool, the other is rational.

The two men knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Emperor Xu sneered, "How dare you strike the prince at the palace gate? Li Ningwan, I've been kind to you, why are you acting so arrogantly? Do you think I'm nothing just because you saved me? And you, Jiang Jing, you just returned, and you still want to experience the bitterness of exile?"

Prince Chang lay on the chair and raised his eyebrows provocatively at the two of them.

Li Ningwan said, "I dare not."

Jiang Jing was about to speak, but was stopped by Lord Li.

"Jiang Jing has been urging me not to hit the prince. It was I, the guilty minister, who hit the prince. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Jiang Jing took two deep breaths and said, "I, the guilty minister, entangled the guards around the prince, giving the Marquis and the prince an opportunity to fight each other. In addition, I also kicked Prince Chang twice, so I should be punished as well."

Li Ningwan said angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about? Now is not the time to show off."

"I'm not showing off." Jiang Jing looked at him. "Prince Chang is tyrannical. You are seeking revenge for your daughter, and I for my beloved. It's only natural for me to seek revenge."

The pens, inks, paper and inkstone on the desk were pushed to the ground.

Emperor Xu scolded, "Do you think this is a market? Shut up, everyone! What revenge are you seeking?"

Jiang Jing is the person involved.

He told the whole story.

"Jiusu, mindful of the emperor's presence, said you were a good emperor and she didn't want to jeopardize your father-son relationship with Prince Chang, so she wanted to suppress this matter. Unexpectedly, after the morning court session today, Prince Chang blocked the palace gates, provoking and making obscene remarks to the guilty minister and Jiusu. I can't tolerate this anymore. I beg your Majesty to understand!"

Prince Chang stood by anxiously, making excuses in an unclear tone.

Emperor Xu listened to his loud voice, feeling annoyed. "Did my Lord Jiu really say that?"

Li Ningwan was stunned and glanced at Jiang Jing. Did flattery really work? He just opened his mouth and made up stories: "Your Majesty, since the morning court, Yuyu has been saying that it is an honor to have you in Xu State."

Emperor Xu's expression looked better.

Jiang Jing took out a letter and held it in both hands. Eunuch Shang took it and handed it to the emperor.

"Jiu Daren sent down jackets and salt to the soldiers at the border. They thanked the emperor for the grace and wrote on them that the death toll of soldiers had been greatly reduced."

Emperor Xu was very happy. "If we can achieve a great victory at the border this time, it will be a great contribution from Lord Jiu."

Prince Chang's eyes widened. He ignored the pain in his body, fell to the ground, and cried, "Father, I almost can't see you. I haven't been filial to you yet..."

Emperor Xu asked, "Have you really been plotting against me for so long?"

Outside the door, two or three figures appeared, and Prime Minister Zhou knelt at the door: "Your Majesty! I request an audience!"

Concubine Qi Jing also came: "Your Highness, I request an audience!"

Lord Shang opened the door and looked at Prince Chang's 'backers'. He couldn't help but worry about the people inside, including the old ministers of the State of Xu, the favored imperial concubine with a double character, and the newly born grandson.

"Please come in, all three of you."

As soon as Princess Chang entered, she knelt beside Prince Chang, holding her child and crying, but she was not crying because Prince Chang was beaten, but because of her own bad luck.

Why marry such a person?

But it can't show on your face.

"Your Majesty..."

Concubine Qi Jing looked at the wound on her son's face with tears in her eyes. Her hand froze in mid-air, "Rong'er, how did you get beaten like this?"

She climbed the steps on her knees and hugged the emperor's legs.

"You have to make the decision for our son!"

Emperor Xu grabbed her arm and pulled her up: "Hey, are you not angry with me anymore? Are you willing to see me?"
