Chapter 153 Father-Daughter Bet
The fact that Baili Yanqing was taken to the Dali Temple became known to everyone. Needless to say, many people fanned the flames. Many people were waiting in secret to laugh at Baili Yanqing's misfortune.
Emperor Jing of Wei even summoned Su Chenyu to the palace. When she received the imperial edict from Emperor Jing of Wei, Su Chenyu had no expression on her face. She just glanced at Cai Quan calmly and said, "Since Eunuch Cai has come in person, let's go."
Cai Quan reminded her: "Princess, Princess Rui'an just met the emperor, and the emperor summoned you to the palace."
At this time, Cai Quan still believed in Su Chenyu and was still reminding Su Chenyu.
Su Chenyu thanked him: "Thank you, Eunuch Cai."
Su Chenyu only brought Nanny Xu into the palace. Emperor Jing of Wei summoned her to the imperial study, where Su Ruian was sitting. It was obvious from his look that he was here to laugh at Su Chenyu.
Su Chenyu stepped forward and greeted Emperor Jing of Wei: "Your Highness, your son greets you."
There was no sign of frustration on Su Chenyu's face.
Seeing this, Su Ruian was a little disappointed: "Sister Fengyi, I heard that the prince consort had an accident. Are those things outside true?"
"If what you said is that Sang Nian is Yan Qing's relative, then that is true; as for the rest, it is not true." Su Chenyu said quietly.
"Sister really isn't worried at all that anything might happen to the Prince Consort."
"He has a clear conscience about what he did, so why should I worry about him getting into trouble? No matter what, things in this world are based on emotion and reason. I believe in Yan Qing!"
Su Chenyu spoke firmly. For some reason, Su Ruian felt very uncomfortable after seeing this scene. She didn't understand why Su Chenyu trusted Baili Yanqing so much?
Emperor Jing of Wei looked at Su Chenyu in front of him. Su Chenyu's figure overlapped with Li Rongzhen again. Su Chenyu was worthy of being her daughter. They had similar looks before, and now even their personalities were so similar.
But in front of Su Chenyu, Emperor Jing of Wei did not feel any pride, but instead had a desire to destroy her. Just like Li Rongzhen back then, he tortured a female general who had fought on the battlefield into a resentful woman in the palace, with no light in her eyes.
Emperor Jing of Wei hated the light in Su Chenyu and Li Rongzhen's eyes. Why did they have to be different from the rest of the world? Just like the lotus flower that emerged from the mud without getting stained, so pure and clean, he had to step this lotus flower into the mud.
"Feng Yi, in three days, I will take charge of this case. At this point, there is basically no possibility of overturning the verdict. Baili Yanqing may never be released from prison in this lifetime. You are my daughter, and I don't want to see you suffer with him. If you take the initiative to divorce him now, you will definitely not be implicated at this time."
Emperor Jing of Wei spoke with great righteousness, as if he loved his daughter Su Chenyu very much.
"Father, the case hasn't even started yet, but you've already made up your mind." Su Chenyu looked at Emperor Wei Jing. In her eyes, Emperor Wei Jing saw a look of compassion. "Father, you treated the case of the consort like this. If you treated ordinary people, wouldn't you be even more casual? As the emperor of Dayu, if you treat him like this, then you can imagine what the officials will do."
"Su Chenyu, who gave you the courage to speak to me like this?" Emperor Jing of Wei was furious. "As the Princess of Dayu, you don't care about propriety, righteousness, and shame at all, and only want to favor your husband. For the sake of your husband, you even doubt my ability. Do you deserve the name 'Feng Yi' given to you by the previous emperor?"
"It's not even the day of the opening ceremony yet, and nothing has been decided yet. Father, you're already making wild guesses. Don't you think that's a bit too much?"
Seeing that the two were deadlocked, Su Ruian spoke up: "Since you trust Baili Yanqing so much, what will you do if he is convicted in three days?"
"I am willing to share the same crime as Yan Qing and be demoted to a commoner!" Su Chenyu looked at Emperor Jing of Wei again, "But if Yan Qing is innocent, then father will issue an imperial edict to blame himself to calm the people's hearts."
