Seeing Marquis Jianping looking at him, Ji Fengshou turned his head sideways, rolled his eyes at him, and then quickly lowered his head, looking as if he was frightened.

"Marquis Jianping, you dare to threaten the prince consort in the court. You are really...Alas!"

Tutor Song just happened to see the Marquis of Jianping glaring at Ji Fengshou, pointing at him and shaking his head and sighing, as if to say "you are hopeless".

The Marquis of Jianping laughed in anger, "How could Grand Tutor Song have seen me threatening the Prince Consort? I haven't said a word yet, and you've already put a huge accusation on me!"

"My Lord, there's no need to say anything. Just a look is enough! People's hearts have changed! Alas!"

Tang Qingfeng stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching Marquis Jianping shaking his head and sighing.

Emperor Mingde listened to them talking without showing much reaction on his face, but he already had his own thoughts in his mind.

These people seem to be dissatisfied with Xiyue, but in fact they are targeting and questioning him as the emperor!

"I didn't expect the Prince Consort to be so eloquent. His ability to turn the tables has really caught my eye!"

Marquis Jianping lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "I have already informed Your Majesty of the situation that day. My daughter Lan'er's wrist was broken by Princess Hehua, and it hasn't healed yet. We hired a doctor from the Puji Medical Clinic that day. Your Majesty can send someone to inquire about the situation!"

Things that happen in public cannot withstand scrutiny.

Zhong Lizhou stood up when he heard this: "Grandson has something important to report!"

No one expected Zhongli Zhou to speak suddenly, and for a moment everyone turned their eyes to him.

Zhonglizhou raised the white jade tablet in his hand and spoke in a resounding voice, "My grandson wants to expose His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang for treason and collusion with foreign tribes, which led to the previous battle at Xinyang Pass, which opened the border defenses and caused heavy losses to the people inside the pass! It almost caused a disaster!"

When Zhongli Zhou finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop.

No one in the group cared about what happened before anymore.

But the silence didn't last long, and soon the entire court was in an uproar.

"What? The Crown Prince said that Prince Zhuang was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?! Is there a result so soon?"

"Wasn't it rumored before that it was His Royal Highness Prince Xuan? What's going on?"

"Prince Pingwang dares to say that, so he must have evidence in his hands, right?"

····

Earl Yongle never expected that he had met Zhonglizhou privately a few days ago, but now he was turning around and reporting his grandson for treason!

He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "How dare you, Prince, slander His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang like this? You can't slander and frame him just because you didn't want to do that a few days ago!"

Zhongli Zhou ignored Earl Yongle's pretense and pulled out evidence from his pocket: "Grandson has evidence in hand. Grandfather, you can take a look and then make your judgment!"

Emperor Mingde's eyes darkened. He glanced at Prince Zhuang, who was kneeling on the ground and still in shock, and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

When the eunuch heard the emperor's order, he quickly took the thing from Zhonglizhou's hand and tried to hand it over.

A group of people watched this scene intently, wanting to know if it was true.

Prince Zhuang finally reacted and rushed over to grab the evidence from the eunuch's hand: "You are talking nonsense! This evidence is all fabricated! How dare you frame your own uncle!"

Ever since Zhongli Zhou spoke, Ji Fengshou's eyes had been on King Zhuang next to him. The moment he saw him stand up, Ji Fengshou pounced on him quickly.

King Zhuang was about to get the evidence, but was pushed aside by Ji Fengshou.

"Your Highness, calm down! Don't be angry!" Ji Fengshou knocked King Zhuang to the ground and added a few words, looking like he was trying to persuade him.

The eunuch holding the evidence broke out in a cold sweat on his back and quickly quickened his pace to hand over the evidence.

King Zhuang watched the man walk further and further away with bloodshot eyes. He turned around and was about to kick Ji Fengshou in the chest, but Zhongli Zhou quickly pulled Ji Fengshou back and kicked him back.

King Zhuang felt like his calf was almost broken, and his face became distorted.

"Since it is fabricated! Why should you be afraid of me seeing it?!" Emperor Mingde's voice was majestic without anger.

Zhonglizhou looked down at Ji Fengshou: "Uncle, how are you?"

"Luckily you reacted quickly, otherwise I'm afraid something serious would have happened!"

Ji Fengshou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. That was a close call!

I was caught off guard and was almost kicked by King Zhuang!

Seeing that he looked fine, Zhonglizhou turned to look at Prince Zhuang and said, "Since the emperor's uncle thinks it's a fabrication, why are you so nervous? The innocent will be innocent. If you don't know better, you might think you're desperate."

"you--"

King Zhuang pointed at Zhongli Zhou and was about to go up and curse him.

Unexpectedly, the Mingde Emperor at the top of the table suddenly swept the things on the dragon table to the ground, slammed the table and stood up: "Go and get my imperial sword! I will kill this rebellious son today!"

The group of people all looked up in astonishment, knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

King Xuan and King Yi did not dare to show any expression on their faces at this time. They just glanced at King Zhuang's face secretly. Seeing his shocked look, they knew what was going on.

"Liu Quan! Bring me my imperial sword! I will chop off this rebellious son's head today and hang it on Chengtian Gate as a warning to everyone!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, calm down! Let's talk things over nicely!"

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not, Your Majesty!"

···

The words of advice were repeated over and over again. Eunuch Liu waited for a few seconds but the emperor did not change his mind, so he had to bite the bullet and go get the sword.

"You eunuch! How dare you!"

When Earl Yongle saw Liu Quan coming out holding the imperial sword, he was so shocked that he didn't care about anything else and pointed at Liu Quan and cursed.

Emperor Mingde looked at Earl Yongle with a sullen look: "Earl Yongle! Who are you scolding?"

Seeing the emperor's gaze, Earl Yongle regained some of his composure. He knelt on the ground, his long robe dragging on the ground as he walked. "If Your Majesty has any dissatisfaction with Prince Zhuang, you can just talk it out. How could you, how could you not give Your Highness the slightest bit of face like this? Please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider! Although I don't know what the Crown Prince handed over, the truth of the matter has not yet been confirmed. Your Majesty must not act impulsively!"

Lord Cao and other neutral court officials knelt in the middle and persuaded the emperor in a deep voice.

In any case, killing someone at will by a prince is really too much of a joke.

Emperor Mingde closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained some composure.

He threw the evidence Zhonglizhou had handed over in front of Lord Cao and said, "You can circulate it and see what this good son of mine has done!"

They placed spies at the border, colluded with foreign tribes, and even secretly promised to give away a city!

Not only did they hurt innocent people, they also framed their brothers!

"Whoever is capable can ascend this throne! But you, truly disappoint me!"

"Every day they focus on their own little piece of land, and all they do is fight among themselves and achieve nothing! They are nothing but a bunch of useless people! How can I abdicate peacefully?"

"I conquered this world with my own hands! I don't ask you to be as talented and wise as me. Even if you can do something small, be kind to the people and be lenient to others, I can consider it, but you——"
