Chapter 144 What? What about this brother and sister?
Looking at the expectant gazes of his colleagues, the Third Prince was unable to lift his legs when he walked out of the front hall.
He gritted his teeth and said to the steward, "How do you look after the house?"
The steward was also shocked and said, "Your Majesty, I personally checked a cup of tea ago and found that not only the Prime Minister was not there, but everyone else was not there either. How could so many people be outside in such a short time?"
The trusted adviser said excitedly: "Your Highness, this is the respect that the court officials have for the Imperial Master, and also for you! This is a good thing."
The Third Prince said tiredly, "What do you know?"
He cursed in his heart: These old foxes, they probably wanted to eat the melons but were afraid of being chased away by him, so they came here on purpose!
Trusted conspirator:?
At this moment, a sharp singing voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Outside, a crowd of people knelt on the ground and said in unison, "Long live His Majesty."
The Third Prince also led the bewildered family in kneeling and worshipping.
At this time, the voice that cannot be ignored also sounded.
Yuanruan: [There are so many people.]
System: [Yes. There are really a lot of people. Ah Ruan, I suddenly discovered one of the advantages of Daxia, that is, the court officials are very united. Have you noticed that every time something happens, a large group of people rush forward.]
Yuanruan: [Yes, we are really united.]
When the Third Prince heard this, he burst out laughing: What unity? They just want to eat melons.
The emperor glanced around at the crowd, then looked at the pitiful Third Prince, coughed and said, "Well. The Imperial Master's itinerary cannot be made public. You gentlemen can leave after giving your gifts. Go inside."
The third prince was almost in tears. At the critical moment, his own younger brother was still the one he could rely on!
The court officials outside all had disappointed and unwilling looks on their faces.
But no one dared to disobey the emperor.
…
At this moment, panicked footsteps suddenly broke out from inside: "Prince, Prince... dead, someone is dead."
The Third Prince's eyes went dark in an instant.
At this moment, the question on his mind was not who was dead.
But that group of colleagues would definitely seize the opportunity and refuse to leave.
Sure enough, the excited voice of the Minister of Justice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Where is it? Let me take a look!"
The Chief Justice said loudly and enthusiastically: "I am good at examining criminal cases. I will come and take a look."
The Dali Temple Minister also actively squeezed in and said, "Your Majesty, I have participated in many major cases. I will definitely clear the Third Prince's mansion of all charges."
Not only did these three people who were related to the criminal case speak, but other court officials who had any connection with the case, or even those who had no connection at all but tried to force a connection, also began to actively recommend themselves.
For example, the Minister of Industry said: "I am good at identifying the various instruments of the four countries. If the thieves dare to leave multiple wounds, I can help determine whose products they used and help catch the criminals."
Minister of War: "If the thief doesn't escape, I will be responsible for protecting you all."
…
Finally, the Minister of Revenue came in with a plan in mind, and originally wanted to say: I can pay a bounty for the thief's head.
But then he thought that this statement was too nonsensical, so he forced himself to change his words and said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, I am an experienced and wise man, and I can assist my colleagues in judging the case."
The other court officials staggered and said: This is a bit too perfunctory.
At this moment, the system suddenly sighed: [Look, Ah Ruan, how united we are. With such a Da Xia, we will have no rivals ahead.]
Yuan Ruan inexplicably felt that something was a little weird, mainly because the Third Prince's expression looked so miserable, as if someone had taken advantage of him for free.
But she still gave the system face: [Hmm...right.]
The emperor was also speechless. He wanted to keep a fig leaf for the Daxia royal family, but a murder had indeed occurred in the Third Prince's mansion, and he could not stop the court officials from actively solving the case.
The emperor shook his head implicitly at the Third Prince, who just rolled his eyes in dismay.
The Third Prince said weakly, "Yes. Thank you, my Lords."
Because there was a man from outside the palace present, the Third Prince signaled his wives and concubines to return to the chamber first.
The court officials humbly responded with greetings, and then followed the Third Prince's steps towards the place where the murder took place, which was a theater.
The emperor carried Yuanruan inside. The third prince would glance at Yuanruan with resentment from time to time. As they walked, he suddenly had an idea.
The Third Prince said, "Your Majesty, why bring the young Imperial Master to this bloody and unlucky place?"
Courtiers: !!!
Oops, I forgot how young the little master is! Looks like I won't be able to eat this melon today.
The emperor also paused and looked at the Third Prince with admiration.
But before he finished looking at her, he heard some chattering noises coming from inside, as if a scene from a Qiong Yao drama was being performed.
First came a sharp female voice: "This is a concubine who had an affair with someone else! All the people who had an affair with her died in the well where she lived. You are actually going to disobey me for this bitch, but I am your own mother."
Along with the noisy sound, everyone saw a woman with slightly ragged clothes rushing out from the corner of the wall, but she was soon held down by two old women, and one of the old women hit her twice.
After that, a young man and woman rushed out.
Looking closely, the two men were dressed elegantly, looked somewhat similar, and still had a hint of childishness on their faces.
When the two men saw the old woman beating someone, the man didn't move, but the woman rushed over first and kicked the old woman, pointing at her and cursing: "Who allowed you to bully my sister Juan'er! Are you looking for death?!"
The man also said, "Mom! Don't talk nonsense. Juan'er would never have an affair. That person's death has nothing to do with Juan'er."
…
The two sides argued with each other and argued for their own reasons.
It turned out that a boy fell into a well and died, and the suspect was a woman he had an affair with. And this woman was the young master's woman.
The third prince's face turned black. Family disgrace should not be made public!
Just as he was about to order the butler to drive away the troublemaker who was making trouble around the corner, he heard the voice in his heart.
System: [Wow. Oh my god, this brother and sister, this melon, hiss, so explosive! It's just a little complicated. ]
Yuanruan: [Hmm? I like complex melon the most, tell me about it.]
The Third Prince felt as if his little heart had been stabbed.
The other courtiers turned their heads and looked away instantly.
System: [Okay, this story starts with the absurd "sharing a wife" in the Third Prince's mansion.]
Everyone's pupils were shocked:! ! !
What the hell? Sharing a wife?
The court officials who were ready to eat the gossip elegantly almost stumbled. The first gossip in the mansion of the three princes was so explosive?! This trip was not in vain.
The Third Prince noticed the meaningful looks from his colleagues and almost shouted to the sky: Misunderstanding! There must be some misunderstanding! There is no way such an outrageous thing could happen in our mansion.
Yuanruan: [Ah? What?!]
System: [Yes. And the brother and sister share a wife.]
When Yuan Ruan heard this, he felt like his CPU was burning out: [Ah? Brother, is the Great Xia royal family so chaotic? ]
emperor:???
It's none of my business. The princes and dukes have all been separated into side branches and have nothing to do with me.
The court officials' bodies tilted again. They didn't want to lose their temper anymore. The main reason was that they knew these four words, but when they were put together it was like a brick hitting them hard on the head, almost making them dizzy.
The Third Prince was completely paralyzed, gritting his teeth in hatred: Who is this unfilial child? He must drag him out and beat him to death!
