This time, both the court officials and Emperor Jianchang were upset after hearing the news.

Tao Zhihong's gaze towards Xiao Lichen was also full of danger.

Brat, if he dares to use sweet words to trick his daughter away, he will kill him with his sword.

No man in the royal family is a good person, let alone Xiao Lichen, who was born in Prince Yong's mansion. His father had been favoring concubines and neglecting his wife for many years. The chaotic struggles in the mansion were no less than those in His Majesty's harem.

Their daughter has always been one who cannot stand being bullied, and they absolutely cannot let her marry into the royal family and suffer bullying, but they have no way to vent their anger.

The other court officials looked at Xiao Lichen and Tao Zhihong with complex and unpredictable eyes.

If Xiao Lichen really became Tao Zhihong's son-in-law, they would be in trouble.

They are a powerful alliance. Wouldn't they secretly take revenge on those who spoke for Marquis Wei Jing and Prime Minister Wang?

I believe that Your Majesty will never allow his close minister to marry a general who commands a large army.

As the commander of the Xiaoyu Guard, he can collect intelligence from officials across the Great Zhou and present it to His Majesty. He can detain court officials at will, and he can even go to the border to supervise the troops on behalf of His Majesty and fight against the barbarians together with the court general.

If we were to say who they feared the most in the court, it would be none other than Xiao Lichen!

"As the Prime Minister of a country, you can ruin my reputation and slander me without any basis. Prime Minister Wang, you are so bold!"

How could Tao Yuwei allow the other party to insult her in person?

She was closer to Xiao Lichen before, but they also cooperated secretly. Everything was clear between them. How come this stinky old man said that she and Xiao Lichen were unclear?

"Uncle Emperor, Prime Minister Wang is the head of all officials in the Great Zhou. In order to strike down his political enemies, he has acted in an outrageous manner and slandered me without a care in the world. I beg you, Uncle Emperor, to act on my behalf and dismiss him from his post and investigate him!"

Tao Yuwei's delicate little face was filled with anger, almost crying.

"Uncle Emperor, they constantly accuse me, a young girl who hasn't even grown up yet, of maliciously accusing me and using my innocence as an excuse. They're going to kill me! Uncle Emperor, you won't just sit there and watch me die under their vicious words, will you?"

After Tao Yuwei said these words with a look of grievance, all the civil officials were speechless.

Only then did they realize that what Wang Xiang had just said was indeed a bit too much for Princess Anle.

"Prime Minister Wang, is what you just said true? Bring out the evidence."

Emperor Jianchang slammed the armrest of his wheelchair in anger, frowned and demanded evidence in a stern voice.

What Anle said makes a lot of sense. These people are willing to use any means necessary to attack their political opponents.

The malicious intent of repeatedly using Anle's innocence to argue about her is too obvious.

Facing the wrath of Emperor Jianchang, Prime Minister Wang remained calm.

"Your Majesty, someone personally saw Prince Xiao escort Princess Anle back to the General's Mansion."

He has a witness in his hand.

"I know about this. That time, Anle went into the palace and returned late. For her safety, I ordered Chen'er, who was about to leave the palace, to accompany her."

Emperor Jianchang recalled the last time Tao Yuwei came to the palace to ask about his health. Xiao Lichen also came to the palace to discuss official business with him at that time, and the three of them had dinner together.

He knew everything about that incident. It was too much for that old bastard Wang Lingchang to bring up this matter.

Emperor Jianchang's words caused Wang Lingchang and the others to kneel down, their heads bowed to the ground with trepidation, and they cried out, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

His Majesty has personally come forward to testify for Princess Anle, so they can no longer pursue her.

After all, using this matter to attack Princess Anle is also a disadvantage.

However, they are not afraid of His Majesty's wrath, after all, they are innocent of ignorance.

"This is a misunderstanding, everyone get up!" Emperor Jianchang did not pursue the matter too much.

What is more important than this is the wooden box held in the hands of the eunuch Zhao Chong.
