When Su Juan knelt down, tears came out of her eyes. It hurt so much that she even wondered if her knee was broken.
The old emperor held his forehead, unable to bear watching, "Su Qing, if you have any grievances, just tell me, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony, get up quickly."
He was afraid that kneeling in this way would shorten his life.
Su Juan endured the pain and shook her head, tears splashing, and she cried to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, I was granted marriage by Your Majesty half a year ago and married into Prince Jing's Mansion. I have always been grateful to Your Majesty, and I always remember that as a wife, I must respect my husband and serve my parents-in-law. I have never dared to forget, and even copied the female commandments no less than a hundred times..."
[Just kidding, if I stand up now, my momentum will be weakened, then wouldn't I have knelt in vain? ]
Old emperor: “…” Kneeling down now won’t help.
Song Qianfan pursed his lips tightly and stared at Su Juan. He hadn't even come to settle the score with her for last night, and now he couldn't even walk fast, but she had the nerve to come and cry to the emperor!
And the Women's Commandments, did she copy them?!
Prince Jing was completely confused as he looked at Su Juan. He had long guessed that this day would come, but he did not expect it to come so soon.
Su Juan continued to cry, "Your Majesty, I have always been grateful to you, but now... my parents are too old to bear this blessing. I hope your Majesty will allow me to divorce the prince!"
After she finished speaking, she kowtowed suddenly and fell directly to the ground, scaring everyone!
The old emperor even covered his eyes. After hearing no sound for a long time, he let go of his hands and pretended to be calm.
What the hell is going on in Su Juan's mind? Can't she just speak properly? Why does she have to kneel and kowtow so scary?
He had never been so scared in his life, and he was afraid that Su Juan would fall to death in his golden palace.
However, this time, Su Juan was very gentle and did not even touch the ground, for fear of hurting his forehead.
Duke Ping breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the girl was stupid.
The old emperor then said in a deep voice, "Raise your head and answer."
Su Juan raised her head, two tear marks on her face.
The old emperor glanced at Song Qianfan and asked Su Juan, "Why do you want to divorce? Did you suffer any injustice in the palace?"
Su Juan bit her lips tightly, glanced at Song Qianfan cautiously, then looked away in fear, "I'm not wronged. The prince has always treated me well. It's me who is not worthy of him."
The timid and fearful look on her face almost showed that she had been wronged and threatened and could not speak out.
【You ask me, what should I say? 】
Old Emperor: “?” If I don’t ask, what will you say?
[I am now a poor weak woman who has been wronged and threatened by my husband. You are the emperor, a wise ruler, and you have to understand the grievances that I cannot tell others! ]
Old emperor: “…” There was a vulgar word in his heart but he didn’t know whether he should say it or not.
The Duke of Ping and the Minister of the Central Secretariat almost laughed out loud.
[Isn't it obvious enough that Song Qianfan pinched my neck? ]
"Your Majesty..." Su Juan's eyes were filled with tears, [Old Emperor, look at your marriage. The husband wants to kill his wife all the time. Even if I have great blessings, I can't stand it!!!]
The old emperor narrowed his eyes, it was indeed the prince who pinched him.
Song Qianfan burst into anger and rushed towards Su Juan, "Su Juan! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Just as he was about to slap the girl, Duke Ping reacted the fastest. He took a step forward and blocked the girl behind him.
With a "pa" sound, Prince Jing took two steps forward and slapped Song Qianfan on the face with his palm, his voice angrily saying, "Evil creature! Your Majesty!
The slap made a loud and crisp sound. No one expected Prince Jing to attack suddenly. His face turned red, obviously he was angry.
Su Juan fearfully poked her head out from behind Duke Ping to look at Song Qianfan, tears streaming down her face, "Master, I won't say anything, I don't want a divorce, please don't hit me... I'm scared..."
The way she looked, it was hard not to suspect that Song Qianfan was beating his wife every day in the house.
Su Juan was afraid that her acting wasn't realistic enough, so she tried to give herself psychological hints in her mind, "How could he be so fierce? He even dared to hit people in front of the old emperor. He will definitely beat me to death when he returns. 】
[I’m so scared. Will he pull out Dongdong’s tongue again after he returns?...]
[How could I be so miserable to marry such a vicious and cruel husband? He took a concubine not long after the wedding. My father-in-law protected me and my mother-in-law advised me to be at ease... He never treated me as a family member. The old emperor also refused to let me divorce. Why is my life so miserable! ]
She howled so loudly in her heart that everyone outside the Golden Palace heard it. The ministers who had not left yet could not help but feel sympathy for Su Juan. Such a good girl was married to such a bastard.
Your Majesty is really confused!
The Minister of the Central Secretariat couldn't help but feel fortunate that his daughter didn't marry Song Qianfan. However, he felt somewhat guilty after feeling fortunate, as he had, after all, played a part in this marriage.
The old emperor's ears were almost calloused. He squinted his eyes and looked at Prince Jing. Is the father-in-law protecting him? Is the mother-in-law trying to comfort him?
Prince Jing was confused. When did he cover up for him?
I didn't agree with my son taking a concubine from the beginning, how could this girl misunderstand me like this! ?
The old emperor's tone was filled with the wrath of an emperor who could not be disobeyed, "Prince, you are so bold!"
The emperor was furious, and few people could resist. Song Qianfan knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty! I have never thought of hitting her. These are all slanders!"
Su Juan's eyes were red, "Prince, you never thought of hitting me..." [You actually wanted to kill me! ]
The old emperor pursed his lips slightly, already displeased, "Didn't you cause the wound on her neck?"
Song Qianfan was speechless: "...It was done by me."
The eyes of several people were immediately filled with contempt. They never expected that the Prince Jing, who was always famous for his talent, would have such a character in private.
Song Qianfan raised his head suddenly, "It was because she hurt me that I lost my grip!"
Su Juan rolled her eyes, [You are really good at confusing right and wrong, how did I hurt you? ]
Song Qianfan opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The Minister of the Central Secretariat, Duke Heping, immediately looked Song Qianfan up and down. Yes, he looked fine, so where was he injured?
[If you have the guts, show it to everyone! ]
A few people: Yes! If you have any injuries, just show them to everyone. We are all reasonable.
Song Qianfan's veins were throbbing, how could such a place be exposed? ?
Su Juan said confidently: [If you don't have any evidence, don't just accuse people with your mouth full of shit, okay? ]
Several people: That’s right, if you have evidence, just produce it. If you don’t have it, don’t just talk nonsense and make false accusations.
Song Qianfan was so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't say a word. Every word he said was swallowed by Su Juan.
At this moment, the old emperor became curious, stared at Song Qianfan for a long time, and asked, "Prince, where are you injured?"
Song Qianfan, who values a man's dignity more than anything else, had no words to complain about: "..." If this kind of thing is said today, it will spread all over the street tomorrow.
Others were also curious. Seeing Song Qianfan hesitating and looking unhappy, they wondered where he was injured.
Song Qianfan would never tell it even if he died, but Su Juan had already answered it for him, [Of course he was injured! ]
Everyone was shocked: "!"
The ministers outside were also shocked: Wow!
