King Jing was carried to a side hall for treatment. At this moment, only the emperor, Rong Baichuan and Rong Chaoxi were left in the front hall.
The emperor put his hands behind his back, stared at Rong Baichuan quietly, and slowly approached him.
"Your Majesty... why... are you looking at me like that?" Rong Baichuan stepped back guiltily.
"Did you plan what happened today?" The emperor approached step by step.
"No, no... I didn't..." Rong Baichuan denied it three times in a row.
"Rong Baichuan, I don't care what method you use to pull Zhao Zhang down from the position of Minister of Revenue, and I don't care what grudges there are between you two!"
"But you shouldn't have set your sights on Jinghong. You know he's a fool..."
As he said this, he was about to slap Rong Baichuan twice.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he met Rong Chaoxi's watery dark eyes.
There was a hint of water in it, as if it was about to cry.
The emperor immediately put his hands behind his back, turned around and shouted outside, "Come, take the child out."
Rong Baichuan must be beaten today. He needs a sandbag to vent his anger that is about to burst his head.
"Chaoxi, save daddy, cry, cry quickly..." Rong Baichuan whispered in Chaoxi's ear.
Today's incident obviously has nothing to do with him.
The emperor was obviously looking for trouble, wanting to vent his anger by beating someone up, and deliberately putting the blame on him.
He couldn't fight back.
It was indeed he who passed the news that Zhao Ziheng was arrested in Prince Jing's Mansion to Zhao Zhang.
Otherwise, how could Zhao Zhang rush to the palace to rescue people so quickly?
But he would never admit it, otherwise the emperor would have even more reason to beat him up.
But Chaoxi seemed not to understand what he meant. She blinked her big watery eyes and looked at him, looking very well-behaved and cute.
The cotton-padded jacket isn't warm enough!
Rong Chaoxi was carried out of the palace gate by a little palace maid.
The door was slowly closed, and the next second, Rong Baichuan's screams were heard.
"Ah... Your Majesty, it's not me. I really didn't do anything. I was just passing by... Ah - don't hit me in the face..."
The little guy was covering his mouth and laughing outside the door.
[Daddy deserves it...]
…
Morning next day.
All officials were locked outside the Golden Palace.
"Eunuch, why hasn't the palace gate been opened yet at this hour?" a court official asked the eunuch guarding the gate.
"Your Majesty has ordered that today's morning court session be held outside the palace." The eunuch replied expressionlessly.
So the court officials had no choice but to walk down the steps and stand in the square.
As he walked, he muttered quietly, "What's going on? What happened suddenly..."
"Did one of you offend His Majesty?"
"We don't have the guts to do that, but I heard last night that something happened at Prince Jing's Mansion... The Imperial Guards entered the mansion..."
"Is this true? King Jing was planning a rebellion and was discovered?"
The others rolled their eyes at him.
Even if you believe that King Jing is coming out, you cannot believe that King Jing is plotting a rebellion.
He doesn't have that kind of brains.
The mornings in late autumn were chilly, and court sessions usually took place in the palace, so people didn’t wear much.
Some of the ministers were too old to bear it, so they hugged their arms and stamped their feet, huddling together to keep warm.
Rong Baichuan arrived late with his face beaten into a pig's head.
Qin Taifu and Qin Zhongshu hurried forward and asked what happened today.
"What's wrong with you? Did you get into a fight again?" Qin Zhongshu asked, "Who could have beaten you like this?"
Although Rong Baichuan's martial arts skills are not top-notch, they are still considered top-notch in Kyoto City.
If he was beaten so hard that his face was covered with bruises and bumps, it was either because he met a top-notch master, or... he didn't fight back.
"I can still...hiss..." As soon as he opened his mouth, the wound at the corner of his mouth was pulled.
Rong Baichuan couldn't open his mouth and mumbled:
"It's all because of Your Majesty. He has nowhere to vent his anger, so he takes it out on me, hiss..."
"I will definitely fight back next time..."
"What are you talking about!" Qin Taifu scolded softly, "That's His Majesty. If I hear such disrespectful words again, be careful of me..."
"Take Jingniang and the child back to live in the Qin Mansion!"
"Yes, yes, yes...it's my son-in-law who is wrong. Your Majesty is the Lord, I must respect him..."
But it doesn't stop me from wanting to hit him!
Rong Baichuan added silently in his heart.
Taifu Qin used this trick every time and it always worked.
"Why did we have to hold court outside today? I heard something happened in Prince Jing's mansion last night. Is it related to this?" asked Qin Zhongshu.
It seems to be quite a big deal, and it may have something to do with Minister Zhao.
What happened last night has already spread throughout the capital, but no one knows the details.
When it comes to this matter, no one knows it better than Rong Baichuan.
He pulled Qin Taifu and Qin Zhongshu into a corner and told them in detail about the shocking giant melon he saw last night.
It is vivid and every detail is described very clearly.
After finishing his speech, Qin Zhongshu asked in a daze, "Who else have you told this to?"
He spoke so fluently and naturally just now, it was obviously not his first time.
"Just Jingniang. When I get back, Qing'er and the others will be asleep. I'll gossip with them after I get back from court..."
"What gossip!" Taifu Qin hit Rong Baichuan on the head violently.
"Don't tell the children about this dirty thing!"
Rong Baichuan won’t tell you anymore.
But what he didn't know was that Chaoxi was also there last night, and the little guy was now recalling what happened last night in his mind.
Her brothers and sisters gathered around her bed, listening with great interest.
Marquis Annan felt uncomfortable when he saw the three people talking and laughing happily over there.
Who is his father after all!
At this time, a voice of greeting rang out, "The Emperor has arrived..."
Everything was normal during the morning court session, except that the location was changed to outside the palace.
