The Prefect of the Capital listened calmly to the accusations of the dozen or so people outside and looked at Ye Qingcheng again.
"Princess Consort Han, the people's will is such, and I have no choice but to comply. Guards..."
"roll."
Before the Prefect of the Capital could finish speaking, Qin Mohan's shout rang out.
Then Qinglong and the others pushed the dozen or so onlookers to the left and right.
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Mohan then walked in.
"Qin Mohan".
Ye Qingcheng called out when she saw Qin Mohan enter.
Are you alright?
Qin Mohan walked up to Ye Qingcheng and asked gently.
Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "It's nothing."
After hearing this, Qin Mohan nodded, then looked at the Prefect of the Capital with a cold expression.
Upon seeing this, the Prefect of the Capital trembled and hurriedly descended from the high hall to stand before Qin Mohan.
"This humble official greets the Seventh Prince."
"Lord Sun, how powerful you are! You even hold court to interrogate my queen."
"Your Highness, please investigate thoroughly. I dare not do so. I am acting on the will of the people and obeying His Majesty's decree. I have no choice but to hold a trial for the Princess."
"Where is the will of the people? Where is the will of the emperor?"
"Just those dozen or so people outside, that's public opinion? Huh?"
"this…"
"Looking at you, this king..."
"The imperial edict has arrived."
Before Qin Mohan could finish speaking, a voice announced the arrival of an imperial edict.
Upon hearing the imperial edict, everyone knelt down before the man even entered the courtroom.
Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng were also included.
A moment later.
A minister dressed in red official robes, holding an imperial edict in his right hand, entered the courtroom with an imposing air, escorted by several guards.
"Where is Lord Sun, the Prefect of the Capital?"
"Your humble servant is here."
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Princess Han has opened multiple shops in the capital, disregarding human life in her pursuit of wealth."
This resulted in the tragic deaths of several innocent people, causing widespread panic throughout the city. Many citizens jointly petitioned the emperor, and officials presented their petitions.
Considering the egregious nature of this incident, I hereby order him to hand over Princess Han to the Dali Temple for punishment.
So be it!
"Your Majesty, I obey your decree. Long live the Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng frowned and exchanged a glance.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng had a bad feeling, and her expression was very solemn.
Qin Mohan was the same, but he had a cold expression on his face.
"Where is Princess Han?"
At this moment, the minister glanced around at the kneeling crowd and asked a question.
Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath and stood up.
"I am here."
"Okay, take it with you."
"Wait a minute."
Qin Mohan also stood up and looked at the minister.
Upon seeing Qin Mohan, the minister bowed and said, "Greetings, Seventh Prince."
"Lord Zhang, was this imperial edict issued by my father?"
"Exactly."
"Very well, I understand. You may all return now. I will personally consult my father regarding the matter of the Princess Consort."
"I'm afraid that's not possible. His Majesty has decreed that anyone who dares to obstruct us today will be treated as a rebel."
Upon hearing this...
Qin Mohan frowned slightly.
Ye Qingcheng sighed.
"Qin Mohan, forget it, I'll go with them! The innocent will clear themselves."
Qin Mohan shook his head: "No, I cannot let you go."
"Your Highness, I advise you to comply with His Majesty's wishes! After all, this matter involves the people's petition and the joint report of all officials, so it is no small matter!"
In recent days, the entire court has been discussing this matter, and His Majesty has been so disturbed that he has been unable to rest for the past two days.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan pursed his lips and frowned.
Father Emperor was disturbed and unable to rest? Shouldn't this have been his doing? Or have I misunderstood?
But if it wasn't the Emperor, why did all of the Princess's shops go wrong, and why was all the blame placed on her?
Qin Mohan was very puzzled.
This way.
Seeing that Qin Mohan was no longer speaking, the minister waved his arm.
"take away."
Knock knock knock!
Several guards surrounded Ye Qingcheng.
Upon seeing this, Qinglong and the others all protected Ye Qingcheng.
The minister frowned slightly when he saw Qinglong and the others protecting Ye Qingcheng, and looked at Qin Mohan.
"Hmm? Seventh Prince, are you really going to do this?"
Qin Mohan pursed his lips, his expression solemn.
However, Ye Qingcheng directly pushed Qinglong and the others away.
"Qin Mohan, it's alright. I believe Father will investigate and bring me justice."
Qin Mohan frowned slightly as he looked at her, opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng gave him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry! Go back to the manor first, take good care of Yu'er, and tell Yu'er that I will be back in a few days."
After saying that.
Ye Qingcheng then looked at that minister.
"My lord, let's go!"
“A beauty that could topple empires…”
At this moment.
Princess Wenning, the Fourth Prince, and the Sixth Prince hurriedly entered.
When Ye Qingcheng saw them arrive, she smiled and asked, "Ning Xue, what brings you here?"
"Qingcheng, I heard you were going to be taken to Dali Temple. I was worried about you, so I rushed over. What happened? How could this happen?"
Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "I don't know either."
"Seventh sister-in-law, this matter is of great importance. You must think carefully about who is targeting you."
"Yes! Seventh sister-in-law, the entire court has been talking about you lately."
Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Don't worry! In the past few years, I have opened a clinic and a restaurant, all for the sake of people's livelihood. I believe the people of the city will definitely give me justice."
"Let's go, sir."
"Okay! Take him away."
Then.
Ye Qingcheng was then taken to Dali Temple.
Meanwhile, on this side...
The fourth and sixth princes then looked at Qin Mohan.
"Seventh brother, Father is really angry this time. He lost his temper in front of all the officials in the court."
"Yes! Seventh Brother, I'm afraid your wife's trip to the Dali Temple this time is fraught with danger!"
Qin Mohan pursed his lips: "Your Majesty, I will go to the palace to see Father Emperor now."
"Okay, Fourth Brother will stay with you."
"Sixth Brother, I'll stay with you too,"
Qin Mohan shook his head: "Just as you said, Father is in a bad mood, and it might implicate you. I'll go first, and if I need your help, I'll trouble you two brothers then."
"this…"
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and then nodded.
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Mohan then sent Qinglong and the others back to the palace first, while he himself went into the palace.
