The next morning court session.
Everyone saw that Lord Wu, who had not attended court for more than a month, actually came.
Only a very few people roughly guessed the purpose of Censor Wu's visit.
They got the news that Xiao Hanzheng went to Censor Wu's Mansion yesterday.
It looks like there will be some good show to watch today.
The third prince looked at Censor Wu and had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, after the emperor finished dealing with some affairs, Censor Wu stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The emperor felt a little headache when he saw Censor Wu, but he still nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"
He naturally also knew that Xiao Hanzheng went to help Censor Wu treat his illness.
I was thinking last night that the boy was very protective of his wife.
He is also very smart in knowing how to leverage others' strengths.
Therefore, he is more optimistic about Xiao Hanzheng and wants to use him.
Censor Wu stood up and said, "I want to report the Third Prince for not disciplining him properly and for allowing the Third Prince's wife and her servants to do evil things."
Then he recounted what happened yesterday.
"What will the people think of this incident?"
"Who dares to present good things to me in the future?"
"And doing so also discredits the royal family. Your Majesty, please punish us severely."
The Third Prince was implicated in this, and he could only bite the bullet and come out to defend himself, "Old sir, this matter was not condoned by me and the Princess."
Imperial Censor Wu said confidently: "The governor of Jingdu has already found out about this matter. It was the maidservant of the Third Prince's wife who bribed the thugs to do it."
"The maidservant beside you did something like this. Isn't it because you didn't control her properly?"
"Whether your imperial concubine knows about this or not, you know it in your heart. Don't treat us as fools."
Censor Wu was once willing to die in front of the late emperor for his advice, so naturally he would not be afraid of a prince now.
When he heard about this, he just felt angry.
A prince's consort actually did such a heinous thing. How could the maid dare to do such a thing without her order?
Even if he didn't repay Xiao Hanzheng's favor, he would report it if he knew about it.
Not to mention, there are human feelings.
As soon as he finished speaking, several old foxes who usually didn't speak much in the court also spoke up and condemned the matter.
He also said that even if the maid did it, the third prince and his wife were also involved.
Everyone was smart enough not to insist that it was the Third Prince's wife who did it, but they still insisted that she should be held responsible.
After all, the prefect of Kyoto has already investigated and concluded that it was the Third Prince's wife's servant who couldn't stand Shi Qingluo in the Embroidery Tower, so she bribed someone to do this without the Third Prince's wife's knowledge.
The slave girl had also been taken into custody and had confessed voluntarily.
Of course, everyone knows that this is just a fig leaf to save the royal family's face.
They would not believe it if it was not ordered by the Third Prince's wife.
Apart from a few old foxes, Mr. Liang, Mr. Xi and Mr. Fei also had a hard time coming to an end.
This time, the target was directed at the third prince and his wife.
When the younger generations stand up for their friends, the elders naturally cannot just stand by and watch.
This made many people in the court confused.
Obviously, he didn't expect that all these people would jump out to speak up for Shi Qingluo.
If someone encountered such a thing in the past, it would usually be dealt with privately. Only a fool would make a scene in the court.
These people couldn't help but looked up to see the emperor's expression.
Just as the emperor was about to speak, a young censor stood up again.
"Your Majesty, I also have a request to participate."
The emperor probably knew who he wanted to accuse, and he said, "Approved."
This censor has a good relationship with Fei Yuzhe in private.
After all, if we want to deal with the third daughter-in-law, we must have clear evidence of her guilt.
The Imperial Censor stepped forward and handed over the memorial he had written, "I would like to report the Third Prince's wife for privately enclosing land and persecuting innocent women..."
He took out all the evidence that Liang Youxiao had collected and that Fei Yuzhe had given him.
"This is all evidence. Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"
After hearing what he said, the adults present were stunned. They never expected that the Third Prince's wife had done so many vicious and cruel things.
The faces of the Fu family father and son were also very ugly, and even very nervous.
They hadn't dealt with Xiao Hanzheng yet, but they didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to attack them today.
After the emperor heard this, his face darkened. "I never thought that my daughter-in-law would do so many wrong things."
"How can such a person be qualified to be a prince's consort?"
"Fu Shi is not worthy of being the prince's consort. There is no precedent for divorcing a wife in our royal family. So from today on, Fu Shi will be demoted to the concubine of the third prince."
He looked at his third son sharply, "Third son, do you have any objections?"
The Third Prince stepped forward with a wry smile, "I dare not!"
It’s about not daring, not about not having.
The emperor sneered, thinking that his son was really bewitched by that vicious woman.
He really didn't see what was good about such a vicious woman.
He couldn't help but think of the mother in the fiefdom.
The concubines in the harem who were favored were also ostentatious and vicious, forcing the queen and her son to be tolerant and yield. Whoever was favored in the harem would soon be in trouble.
He didn't have many younger brothers who were emperors, and it was all "thanks" to that woman. After she was favored and gave birth to the prince, most of the pregnant women afterwards had miscarriages.
He almost died at the hands of that vicious woman twice.
The key point is that the late emperor seemed to be blind and still doted on her too much.
So when he saw his son like this, he got angry.
"From today on, your duties will be handed over to the Second Brother, and you will not go to court until you have dealt with the affairs of your Prince's Mansion first."
"I will carefully select your prince consort and concubine for you again."
I shouldn't have given Fu Wenzheng to my son in marriage just because he asked for it.
And the second child wants to watch the show, but that’s impossible.
He just felt bad when he looked at his two sons.
It seems that it is time for the prince to attend court.
Without waiting for the Third Prince to say anything, the Emperor stood up and said, "Dismiss the court!"
It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with the matter of the Third Prince's wife.
And the punishment he imposed was even more surprising.
No one expected it to be so serious. Not only was Fu deprived of her position as the prince's consort, she was also demoted to a concubine.
Don’t say, this move of the emperor is quite vicious.
With Fu's proud and domineering personality, how could she bear the injustice of being demoted to a concubine?
But this was an imperial decree from the emperor, and she had to hold it in no matter how wronged she felt.
And without the identity of the Third Prince's wife, could she still act so wantonly? Obviously it would be difficult.
Everyone can see that the emperor did it on purpose today. It seems that he wants to give Shi Qingluo an explanation.
It has to be said that this completely overturned their cognition.
It seems that the emperor attaches great importance to Shi Qingluo, otherwise he would not do this.
And looking at the people who stood up in the court today, they would not believe that there was no trace of Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
They had underestimated these two people before.
The people of the Third Prince's faction were almost vomiting to death, and they cursed Fu Wenzheng in their hearts one by one.
This is what a bad teammate is! Continue at 16:00~ (End of this chapter)
