Chapter 499: Confrontation on the spot
Before the Third Prince's men could figure out what was going on, the eunuch in charge of announcing the imperial decree arrived: "Third Prince, the Emperor has ordered you to enter the palace immediately."
The Third Prince's heart skipped a beat. This eunuch who announced the imperial decree had a habit of speaking casually if it was a good thing, "I'm asking you to come into the palace."
He would only say the word "Xuan" when the situation was serious.
At this moment, the third prince realized that the matter of Huang Ying'er had been brought to the attention of the emperor.
The emperor must have been angry.
"Please wait a moment, eunuch. I will go change my clothes first."
The eunuch who announced the decree said, "Your Highness, please hurry up. Don't keep the Emperor waiting for too long."
The third prince strode away, but his eyes darkened. The eunuch announcing the decree was urging him so urgently, which showed that his father was really angry.
He returned to the inner room and a palace maid immediately changed his clothes.
The third prince closed his eyes and looked very unhappy.
Only then did he realize that he had been set up by Huang Ying'er.
Constantly thinking about ways to break the deadlock.
After he changed his clothes, his mind had calmed down. He immediately called one of his personal maids and whispered, "Go to the palace quickly and report Huang Ying'er to my mother. Ask her to find a way to save me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The palace maid took the order, took the third prince's token, and quietly entered the palace through the back door to see Concubine Lan.
The third prince then followed the eunuch who announced the decree into the palace to meet the emperor.
With the help of the token, the palace maid quickly met Concubine Lan.
However, there was a woman in the palace dressed as an ordinary maid, who turned out to be the most capable maidservant beside Princess Ruixue.
The head maid knelt beside Concubine Lan, crying so bitterly that it was heartbreaking to hear: "My Lady, please save my princess.
The Dali Temple is not a place for human beings. If our princess goes in there, even if she is acquitted, her reputation will definitely be damaged.
My princess will have to cut her hair and become a nun in a temple for the rest of her life!"
The maidservant next to Concubine Lan asked, "Didn't they mention the relationship between Princess Ruixue and Concubine Lan?"
"The princess said so.
But that Pei Shaoqing said…” The maid wiped her tears and hesitated halfway through her words.
"What did Pei Shaoqing say? Tell me now!"
The maidservant seemed very frightened, and hesitantly added fuel to the fire, saying, "Pei Shaoqing said that he even dared to arrest members of the royal family, not to mention our princess, who is just an empty title.
That Pei Shaoqing also said, "Your Majesty, no matter how much you favor the princess, you are still just a favorite concubine, yet you are acting like the Empress of the Central Palace."
Concubine Lan was furious when she heard this and slammed the table and stood up: "What a jerk Pei Qiuyan is! He doesn't even take me seriously."
"My Lady, my princess can only rely on you."
Concubine Lan stood up and flicked her sleeves: "Let's go, I'm going to see the emperor now."
The maid was delighted, that was great.
The princess was saved, and his own wealth and glory were also preserved.
She quickly stood up and followed Concubine Lan out.
Just arrived at the door.
The Third Prince's maid stepped forward again to stop Concubine Lan: "Your Majesty, please stay. The Third Prince sent me to deliver a message to you. The situation is extremely urgent."
"No matter how urgent it is, wait until I come back." Lan Fei stood still unhappily.
"No!" The maid knelt down instantly. "The Third Prince said that this matter concerns his future and cannot be delayed even for a moment. It will be too late if you return."
Concubine Lan then stopped and stared at the maid unhappily, "You'd better tell the truth."
Otherwise, if he delayed her from saving her niece, he would be in trouble.
The palace maid trembled with fear and quickly told the story: "Today, the imperial guards of the Acropolis found a female official named Huang Ying'er in the secret room of the Third Prince's private residence."
"She is just a female official. It is her blessing that Jinghe likes her." However, Concubine Lan always felt that the name 'Huang Ying'er' was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
However, this is no ordinary female official. She works in the Ministry of Works as a doctor in the Manufacturing Department and only obeys Your Majesty."
"What!"
Only then did Concubine Lan really take it seriously and finally remembered who Huang Ying'er was.
There are rumors that this female official has a way to solve the livelihood problems of the victims.
But as the emperor's woman, she felt that this was not the case.
That female official is the emperor's new favorite.
I don’t know what the emperor’s hobby was, but he stuffed her into the Ministry of Works.
Could it be that the Emperor has grown old and his preferences have changed?
No longer liking beautiful and delicate women like her, but preferring strong and stubborn ones?
I am old now, do I need to change my style?
However, taking my brother's incident as an opportunity, it shouldn't be too awkward!
Jinghe is really something. He actually dares to set his sights on his father’s woman.
Doesn’t he know that his father hates others touching his things the most?
There are so many women in the world, and there are countless beautiful women. Why would he go and flirt with anyone else but do this stupid thing?
Now that things have gotten out of hand, she has to clean up the mess!
Thinking of this, Concubine Lan became inexplicably angry.
She felt doubly betrayed by her husband and son.
She grabbed her handkerchief angrily and said, "How could Jinghe be so careless in his work? He made such a big mistake and even exposed it to the emperor."
no.
She had to plead for her son before the emperor convicted him.
As for the woman named Huang Ying'er, she is a demon and seducer, and she will not let her go easily.
This is a good opportunity to get him into the palace, and then she can do whatever she wants with him.
Concubine Lan went straight to the imperial study.
In the imperial study.
Huang Ying'er knelt in the center.
She was disheveled, looked flustered, and huddled up in a ball, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
The emperor couldn't bear to watch this and asked the palace maid to go to her and comfort her.
The third prince entered the imperial study and saw this scene.
He glanced at Huang Ying'er and then bowed politely: "Your Highness, your son greets you."
The emperor glanced at him calmly, pointed at Huang Ying'er lying on the ground, and asked, "Have you seen this woman?"
The Third Prince took a look and shook his head: "I have never seen it before."
Huang Ying'er began to tremble with fear as soon as she heard his voice.
A fearful and suppressed sobbing sound came from his throat.
The emperor said, "If you have never seen her, why would she be so afraid of you?"
"Father, I, your son, do not know."
"I don't know?" The emperor snorted coldly.
"What were you doing on the night of the 13th of this month?"
"I have a matter of public affairs which I cannot find a way to break. I am worried, so I have booked a private room in the restaurant for a drink."
"Just drinking?" asked the emperor.
"Yes, son, he's just drinking."
"But what I found out was that Huang Ying'er also entered this restaurant and your private room.
After she went in, no one ever saw her come out again.”
The third prince's face turned pale, and he absolutely could not recognize him at this moment.
Once you acknowledge it, you will definitely be rejected by your father.
Maybe you have to be prepared to sit on the bench for a long time.
He protested his innocence, "Absolutely impossible. Father, I didn't see any strangers that night. Someone must have framed me."
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin! Bring the witness up." The emperor ordered Ji Chengyuan who was standing aside.
"Yes, father." Ji Chengyuan turned around and went to the side hall to pick up the person.
The Third Prince then noticed Ji Chengyuan, who was dressed as a guard of the Acropolis.
"Prince brother!?"
