Su Chenyu smiled with a hint of fatigue. She was tired of Emperor Jing of Wei's suspicion. "Feng Zhuohua came to Dayu in person. Father, didn't you specifically investigate the affairs of Xixia? I admit that I did investigate the affairs of Xixia's national teacher in advance, but I did not know Afu's identity in advance."
"Then you dare to tear her sleeves in public? What would you do if there was no mark of fire?"
Facing the relentless pressure from Emperor Wei Jing, Bai Yanqing could not help it. He stood in front of Emperor Wei Jing and blocked his gaze from Su Chenyu: "Your Majesty, as a king, you should be suspicious, but you are suspicious in the wrong place. Facing such pressure from your own daughter, you believe the words of those criminals instead. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"Bai Yi Yan Qing!" Emperor Jing of Wei roared.
Bai Yanqing's face was not tense at all, and he was as calm as ever: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to take care of the Queen Mother's affairs after her death. The fire in the mourning hall tonight cannot be concealed. Your Majesty, have you thought about how to give an explanation to those people outside?"
Emperor Jing of Wei was speechless after being refuted, and could only vent his anger on Su Jinwei: "Prince, if you had been keeping vigil tonight, how could you not have discovered that Afu wanted to burn down the mourning hall? Are you satisfied with all these things?"
Su Jinwei didn't dare to defend himself and could only keep apologizing.
"After the Queen Mother's funeral, you will go to the underworld to reflect on your mistakes."
Emperor Jing of Wei did not even give a specific time, which means that if Emperor Jing of Wei could not remember this person in the future, Su Jinwei would have to be confined in the mansion forever.
Emperor Jing of Wei turned away, and the Imperial Concubine followed him. Seeing this, the others also left, leaving only Su Chenyu and a few others.
Su Chenyu looked at Su Jinwei who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Brother, the Queen Mother has tried her best to support you, but you refused to even keep vigil for her for one night. If she knew about this, I'm afraid she wouldn't forgive you, right?"
"Su Chenyu, you are very proud now, aren't you?" Su Jinwei stood up and looked at Su Chenyu, with fire in his eyes. "Don't forget, the king is the prince."
"Crown Prince?" These two words seemed extremely ironic. Su Chenyu asked in return, "If your father had other princes, would you have been given the position of Crown Prince? When you hid behind like a turtle and asked the Queen Mother to get rid of Su Chengsi for you, why didn't you have the confidence you have now?"
Su Jinwei stuttered for a moment: "You, you..."
"How would I know about Su Chengsi?" Su Chenyu looked at Su Jinwei coldly, with a kind of pressure that made him tremble with fear. "You don't have the virtues of a prince, and you are unwilling to cultivate yourself. You only want to get rid of those who threaten your status, and you don't even let go of a baby in swaddling clothes. How can a person like you be qualified to be a prince?"
Su Chenyu had no intention of saying anything more to Su Jinwei. After saying this, she left with Bai Li Yanqing.
Su Jinwei staggered, and Lian Zhao stepped forward to support him: "Your Highness, please do not let the words of Princess Fengyi disturb your mind. No matter how powerful she is, she is just a princess and will not pose any threat to you."
Su Jinwei looked at Lian Yuzhao, with an emotion in his eyes that Lian Yuzhao couldn't understand: "Don't forget, Su Chenyu and Su Siyi have a close relationship. If she supports Su Siyi, will the Queen still have a chance to turn things around?"
"Your Highness, if we can get rid of Su Chengsi, we can get rid of Su Siyi. As long as the emperor has only you as his prince, we will never lose." Lian Yuzhao thought of Su Chenyu and said with some disdain, "Is it possible that Su Chenyu can always stay by Su Siyi's side?"
Su Jinwei understood what Lian Zhao meant: "Why did they set the fire tonight?"
If there was no fire in the funeral hall and he was not keeping vigil, how could he have been discovered?
When this matter was mentioned, Su Ruian became suspicious: "Brother, this matter is too much. And after seeing the concubine almost die in the fire while keeping vigil for the Queen Mother instead of you, father obviously cares more about this matter."
