Someone wants to harm his own son. He is so vicious. How can he keep such a person?
Su Mengyan knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. If Situ Yao directly punished Lu Xian or Madam Lu, the person behind the scenes would inevitably escape.
So, she said, "Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is that simple. I hope Your Majesty can let me investigate this matter myself."
What she said was well-founded, and since others wanted to hurt her, it was understandable that she wanted to investigate personally. So, Situ Yao thought about it and did not refuse. He just said, "It's not impossible for you to investigate, but is your body up to it?"
Now that Su Mengyan is not alone, Situ Yao is afraid that she will be tired.
Su Mengyan smiled slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not seriously ill, but there are some things that I hope Your Majesty can help me with!"
Oh, Situ Yao smiled slightly, and was very happy to think that he could still help Su Mengyan. At least, Su Mengyan still thought of him at the critical moment.
"Yan'er, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will never refuse." Situ Yao looked righteous, as if Su Mengyan wanted him to do something earth-shattering.
Seeing Situ Yao like this, Su Mengyan laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, I just want you to talk to the ministers and ask them not to let their wives come to the palace to congratulate me again."
She didn't want to deal with those ladies, but she couldn't avoid them. If Situ Yao could solve the problem fundamentally, why not do it?
So that's how it is. After hearing this, Situ Yao waved his hand and agreed directly.
It was just a small matter, so Situ Yao brought it up at the court the next morning.
"The Empress is pregnant, and the wives of all the nobles want to congratulate her. I understand this feeling, but the Empress has been in poor health recently, and I'm afraid I can't entertain you ladies well enough. So, during this time, I hope you can have a good chat with your wives and come back to the palace later."
Situ Yao did not directly ask the minister's wife not to enter the palace. After all, those people went there under the pretext of congratulations.
However, he believed that his subjects were so intelligent that they would understand the meaning of his words.
After the Prime Minister returned home, his wife came to greet him and said, "Master, I heard that the Empress is pregnant, and I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate her."
In fact, she didn't want to congratulate, she just wanted to take this opportunity to see her daughter.
Although she asked the Prime Minister to visit her daughter last time, she did not see it with her own eyes after all, and the Prime Minister's wife was full of worries.
However, her mention of this made the Prime Minister's expression change instantly: "Alright, the Emperor just issued an order today that no one is allowed to enter the palace to visit the Empress without a reason."
The Prime Minister's wife finally got such an opportunity, but she didn't expect the emperor to give such an order.
"Then I will go to the palace to see Xiangru." Since one trick didn't work, the Prime Minister's wife had to use another one.
However, the prime minister remembered what the emperor said. He always felt that something had happened and that he was not preventing his wife from entering the palace to see Lin Xiangru.
"Okay, I can't even go to see my own daughter, right? Didn't my daughter enter the palace for you? Wasn't it for our Prime Minister's Mansion?" Seeing that the Prime Minister was determined not to let her go, the Prime Minister's wife was immediately furious and started to make a scene.
The Prime Minister's wife was throwing a tantrum, giving him a headache: "Madam, what are you doing? If others see us, how will they laugh at us?"
"A joke? I don't care how he jokes. I can't even see my own daughter. Isn't that enough to be laughed at?"
Helpless, the Prime Minister had to find a way to coax the Prime Minister's wife into the hall first: "Madam, don't be angry, have a cup of tea first, this matter is not without room for negotiation."
After saying that, he called a servant to pour tea for the Prime Minister's wife. The servant was none other than the one who framed Lin Xiaoxiang that day.
When the servant heard the Prime Minister asking her to pour tea, she hurried to add tea to the wife's teacup, but for some reason her legs suddenly went weak and a cup of tea spilled onto the Prime Minister's wife's dress.
"How dare you." The Prime Minister's wife was already angry, and now she was splashed with tea, which made her even more furious.
He slammed the table, stood up, and slapped the servant in the face.
What? Even a servant dared to be so presumptuous to him?
Upon seeing this, the Prime Minister hurriedly said, "Come, take him away and execute him with a beating."
The servant was terrified and wanted to explain himself, but someone covered his mouth and he couldn't say a word.
The servant stared at the prime minister with horror, who had a strange smile on his lips. He knew that he might have offended the prime minister and was being beaten to death on the pretext of something.
Finally, a problem was solved. He thought about how Lin Xiangru treated him last time. He understood at that time that Lin Xiangru was probably a woman with deep scheming and high self-esteem, and it was difficult for him to use her.
And this servant actually dared to frame his own daughter, causing his eldest daughter to be barred from entering the palace.
Now that the servant is dead, no one knows about this matter anymore. The servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally dare not spread the matter.
As for Lin Xiaoxiang, ever since she was framed by the servant, she has been living in fear every day, fearing that her father would betroth her to that servant. She has become accustomed to this kind of life of having everything provided for her. If she were asked to live a life of poverty, she would certainly not be able to adapt to it.
If my father really betrothed me to that servant, I might as well leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and live my own life.
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiaoxiang packed up his things and prepared to leave at any time.
"Miss, what are you doing?" The maid looked at Lin Xiaoxiang's actions in confusion and asked.
"Don't just stand there and help me pack my things. If my father asks me to marry that servant, I can run away." Lin Xiaoxiang said to the maid while packing her things.
However, the maidservant didn't care: "Ah, Miss, what are you thinking about? That servant is dead. How could the Prime Minister let you marry him?"
What? Dead? Lin Xiaoxiang couldn't believe it. She had been frightened for so long, and now she was told that the servant was dead.
"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiang was a little unhappy, the maid hurriedly explained, "Miss, please calm down. This happened just yesterday. I thought it was a small matter, so I didn't tell you."
Then the maid told Lin Xiaoxiang what had happened.
Dead, he was dead. Lin Xiaoxiang still couldn't believe it. No, she had to go and ask her father in person.
Arriving at her father's door, Lin Xiaoxiang took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart: "Father, your daughter is here to see you."
