Chapter 62: The Emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people



Princess Jing, who had just changed her clothes and was being helped into the carriage by her maid, was so frightened when she learned that Su Juan had gone with Song Qianhang that she almost lost her balance. How could this be tolerated!

"Hurry and enter the palace!"

The carriage rushed towards the palace at the fastest speed, and she almost vomited in it due to the bumpy ride.

It was the old emperor who told Prince Jing when he found out that Qiu Chuchong went to Prince Jing's Mansion.

King Jing was so embarrassed that he said, "You son is a bastard. I failed to educate him properly. I will punish him according to the law. I have no complaints!"

Just then, someone came from outside and said that Princess Jing wanted to see her.

The reason why he came to the palace to ask for a meeting at this time could only be because of Song Qianfan's matter, and they both knew it well.

The old emperor still had him brought in, wanting to see his younger brother's true attitude and whether he really had no complaints.

Prince Jing knew very well the emperor's intentions, and was always testing and calculating.

As soon as Princess Jing came in, she bowed deeply to the old emperor and cried, "Your Majesty! I know that I have failed to educate my son properly. I will control the prince's words and actions in the future. Please help me, Your Majesty, and save my child's life!"

The old emperor pursed his lips and looked at Prince Jing.

King Jing couldn't bear to watch his son suffer, but wrong was wrong, and he should bear the corresponding legal punishment. He gritted his teeth and said to his wife, "According to the laws of our dynasty, if Fan'er's crime is true, he should be sentenced to prison with his left toe cut off. Your Majesty,

She kept shouting for help, could Qiu Chuchong really kill his son?

Princess Jing had no illusions about her husband. With her husband's upright character, he would definitely not intervene to save him. But now that she really heard it, her heart was chilled and two lines of tears fell, "My lord, that's your own son, how could you have the heart to do that!"

Prince Jing said coldly, "If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people."

Back then, I shouldn't have allowed her to marry Liang Yin to my son, which caused so many troubles.

After all, the eldest son was spoiled by his wife, so why isn't Hang'er such a jerk?

The eldest son chose his own path, and he should bear the consequences himself.

Princess Jing was disheartened and stopped arguing with her husband. She turned to the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know she was engaged. I was deceived by her. I deserve a light punishment for my mistake!"

"If his left toe is really cut off, how can he live his life in the future..."

The old emperor was very satisfied with Prince Jing's attitude. His younger brother was not stupid enough. It was just that Song Qianfan had done so many stupid things one after another. If he was not punished, who knows how much trouble he would cause in the future.

But this Princess Jing is really confused.

His eyes were displeased, and he said in a deep voice, "I have always trusted Qiu Chuchong in his work. If there is any hidden truth, Qiu Qing will not wrongly accuse him."

"If he really wants to seize someone else's wife, everything will be handled according to the laws of our dynasty. Princess, there is no need to say anything more."

Princess Jing burst into tears, "Your Majesty, the child is still young..."

The old emperor sneered, "Still young?"

Princess Jing suddenly felt a chill on her back as she endured the pressure from her superior.

The old emperor was furious, "Princess, do you know that your young son secretly raised assassins to murder your wife?"

Prince Jing was shocked. Raising assassins... and killing his wife?

Princess Jing was also stunned, her mind went blank. How could Fan'er raise assassins? It was impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding. My son has always been kind, how could he raise assassins to murder his wife? There must be some misunderstanding!"

She turned her head sharply and looked at her husband, "Your Highness, please say something! How could our Fan'er kill his wife... Besides, Su Juan is alive and well now!"

Prince Jing looked grim. He really didn't expect that his eldest son could be so wicked. Although wealthy families would raise assassins, how could he kill Su Juan?

The old emperor valued Su Juan so much. If she didn't have something on her mind, why would he kill her to silence her?

Even though Su Juan was just an ordinary person, the eldest son's action was truly to favor his concubine over his wife!

Listening to Princess Jing's words, the old emperor's face darkened. "If he was not satisfied with this marriage, why would he agree to it that day? There are many people who want to marry him. How could I force him?"

There were originally several candidates for marrying Su Juan, including the son of Marquis Sheng Ping, the son of King Han, and the youngest son of Marquis Xing'an. All of them had excellent character. If not, Song Qianhang would be fine.

No one had ever forced Song Qianfan, but he was the one who agreed to the marriage, and now he wanted to kill someone.

Hearing this, Princess Jing was stunned. She had always believed that her eldest son was forced into this marriage. After all, he disliked Su Juan so much, so how could he agree to it...

Prince Jing remained silent. At this moment, he already had a guess in his mind. He was afraid that his son was too ambitious and was thinking about the little favor that Su Juan had in her heart. Later, he got into trouble again and again, so he wanted to kill him to silence him. He was really cruel.

After the two left, the old emperor finally had a moment of peace. He rubbed his aching forehead with his fingertips, "Where is Su Juan?"

The secret guard appeared out of nowhere, "Miss Su followed the second son of Prince Jing to watch the fun."

The old emperor was slightly stunned. "Watching the fun?"

Secret guard: "Respect the prince's excitement."

The old emperor held his forehead in his hands helplessly. I am here worrying about her affairs, but she is happy and at ease, and is eager to join in the fun of her husband.

I think this marriage was a mistake after all. It is really difficult to deal with now. Su Juan has been thinking about divorce a lot.

But I was the one who granted them this marriage. If I let them divorce, wouldn't it seem that my imperial decree was a joke?

...

At this time, Su Juan was joining in the fun with Song Qianhang.

In the court, the man who sued Song Qianfan, with his housekeeper and two servants, denounced Liang Yin for being unfaithful to her husband and angrily called Song Qianfan an adulterer. His boldness amazed Su Juan!

[Song Qianfan is a prince, how can businessmen be so aggressive these days? ]

Song Qianfan sneered, "How dare you, a mere merchant, to so easily defile this prince!"

The man's eyes flickered and he straightened his back. In fact, he felt a little nervous, but the lives of his family were in the hands of that man. If he didn't prove Song Qianfan's guilt...

Song Qianhang was also a little surprised. He just went with the flow and passed on some news about Liang Yin's pregnancy and whereabouts, and took the opportunity to lead people to Jingzhao Prefecture. He was actually still a little worried at the time. After all, which ordinary person would dare to sue the crown prince of the dynasty.

But he didn't expect that this man could be so courageous towards the emperor's relatives.

The man knelt on the ground and shouted in pain, "Sir! I have been married to Liang Yin for a year. I thought my wife would be back soon after going to Beijing to look for her relatives. But she never came back. I came here to look for my wife, only to find out that this Song guy stole my wife and even wanted to take my child for himself. It's really abominable! I hope you can help me!"

Looking at the man, Song Qianfan felt angry. It was really hateful that he had raised someone else's wife and children for such a long time!

Liang Yin buried his head, his body trembling slightly, and dared not say a word.

Su Juan clicked her tongue twice, [It seems like you are another fool who has been kept in the dark. How come the child in Liang Yin's belly is yours? ]

Crowds of people who came just to join in the fun: “?!” There’s something fishy!

Qiu Chuchong was also stunned.

Song Qianhang was stunned. Whose child was this in Liang Yin's belly?
