Chapter 328: Hope for the best
"Originally, I wanted to kill Xiao Jue, but thinking that it might ruin your plans, I decided to let him live for now." While Xiao Jue was unprepared, she stabbed him with the anesthetic needle and then threw him on the bed.
Su Ying has always been a person who seeks revenge when she has a grudge and bears grievances when she has a grievance, so she created the illusion that Su Yuyan was missing to make Xiao Jiang Yuanshi panic. After she was left alone, she took her to the guest room and let her and Xiao Jue enjoy themselves to their heart's content.
She got to enjoy her young body for free, and she didn't suffer any loss.
If Xiao Jiang Yuanji knew that Su Ying thought this way, he would definitely vomit blood.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, after seeing off all the guests, Prime Minister Su called Koe Genji into the house.
Xiao Jiang Yuanshi almost fainted from crying, "Master, I really don't know why this happened. I must have been schemed against by someone. It was Su Ying. She must have schemed against me..."
Prime Minister Su's face turned pale, and his mind was filled with the image of Xiao Jiang Yuanji and Xiao Jue rolling around naked together. When he thought of this image, he felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger!
"You have brought disgrace upon the Prime Minister's Mansion! For the sake of the two children, please leave the palace!"
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please don't divorce me, please don't divorce me, Prime Minister..."
Prime Minister Su was still furious, he snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Xiao Jiang Yuanji staggered to his feet and wanted to chase after him. As soon as he ran to the door, he saw Su Yuyan standing outside with an uneasy look on her face.
When Xiao Jiang Yuanshi saw her, it was like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Yan'er, go and beg your father, go and beg your father not to divorce me, I am your mother, you can't live without a mother!"
Su Yuyan's cold face was filled with hatred. "You are not worthy of being my mother for what you have done. Not only have you trampled on my father's dignity, you have also ruined my future. I hate you so much. How could I have such a stupid mother like you!"
Su Yuyan knew that Xiao Jiang Yuanshi would definitely not deliberately seduce Xiao Jue, but it was her own stupidity that made her fall into the trap set by others. Now the Prime Minister's Mansion is about to become a laughing stock in the entire capital. How will she get married in the future!
"Yan'er, someone framed me. It was Su Ying, it must be Su Ying, it must be her..." Xiao Jiang Yuanshi tightly grasped Su Yuyan's hand, but she pushed it away with disgust.
"May all your luck to you!" After saying that, Su Yuyan ran away without looking back.
"Yan'er, Yan'er, I am your mother, you have to help me, you can't not help me!" The whole yard was filled with Xiao Jiang Yuanji's shrill cries.
But no one dared to come forward. These servants knew that after such a thing happened, there was no way the Prime Minister's Mansion would tolerate Genji Oe.
On the other side, Xiao Jue also quickly returned to his mansion. Although he was not crowned king, the emperor granted him a mansion after he came of age.
Xiao Jue's confidant also knew what had happened at the first time. After Xiao Jue returned to the study, the confidant rushed over.
Liang Kuan looked at Xiao Jue's gloomy expression and sighed in his heart, "Your Highness, what is going on?"
Xiao Jue tightened his eyes and told his confidants about the matter. Of course, he automatically erased the fact that he walked into the guest room because he was bewitched by Su Ying, and only said that someone led him there.
Liang Kuan was very confused after hearing this. He felt that based on Su Ying's current personality, there was no need for her to plot against Xiao Jue in a place that was not her home turf. There were too many variables involved. What's more, the person who led people to the guest room was someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Could it be that the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was also bribed by Su Ying? Xiao Jiang Yuanshi was her biological mother, no matter how stupid she was, she would never do such a thing.
However, Liang Kuan felt that the truth of the matter was no longer important, because Xiao Jiang Yuanji had already been slept with by Xiao Jue. This outcome meant that Xiao Jue was doomed to not be able to gain the help of Prime Minister Su's lineage.
There is no way to consider Prime Minister Su’s thoughts now. The most important thing is how to save Xiao Jue’s face.
This kind of thing is definitely a huge scandal for a prince, and it will be very disadvantageous to Xiao Jue in his future competition for the throne.
"Your Highness, after much thought, I have to find a way to push this matter onto Xiao Jiang Yuanji. It was she who seduced Your Highness and even used shameful means, which is why Your Highness did such an unreasonable thing..." Liang Kuan racked his brains to find fault with Xiao Jue, but Xiao Jue was full of hatred and felt that he was being played by Xiao Jin and Su Ying!
"This must be Xiao Jin's doing. He wants revenge on me. He must know that I was the one who framed him and got him exiled!"
Liang Kuan choked and looked at Xiao Jue's furious expression and sighed heavily, "Your Highness, the most important thing now is how to save your face. If the emperor knows about this, how can I explain it to him?"
"They framed me, just say it directly."
"Where is the evidence? Does Your Highness have any evidence?" Liang Kuan really wanted to slap his thigh.
"What evidence do you need? Who in the capital doesn't know that Xiao Jin and I have such a deep hatred?"
"But Your Highness, without evidence, even if everyone knows it, the Emperor will not punish the King of Qi. Your Highness, please go to the Emperor and admit your mistake after the morning court tomorrow." No matter what, as long as the Emperor passes this test, everything else will be easy.
"knew."
Almost all the top leaders of the capital's noble circles were invited to Prime Minister Su's birthday party. So even though the communication technology was not good in that era, the scandal between Xiao Jiang Yuanji and Xiao Jue quickly spread among the aristocratic families in the capital.
Emperor Kangze found out that night. When he found out, he repeatedly asked the chief eunuch whether they had mistaken the people. But when he found out that it was these two people, Emperor Kangze's expression was wonderful.
During the morning court session, the court officials noticed that Emperor Kangze looked very unhappy and no one dared to say a word.
However, there are also people who are not afraid of death, such as the censor Lord Li.
The stubborn Lord Li directly exposed the romantic affair between Xiao Jue and Xiao Jiang Yuanji in the court.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is a prince, but he does not follow the rules of propriety and actually did such a shameless thing with the minister's wife. I think this matter must be severely punished."
Emperor Kangze's face became even uglier. Fortunately, Prime Minister Su took sick leave and did not come today, otherwise he would have torn Lord Li's mouth to pieces.
"I need to find out the truth of this matter." Emperor Kangze didn't want to talk about such a scandal in front of so many people.
But the stubborn Lord Li was not happy. "Your Majesty, I was there at the time and saw with my own eyes that the two of them were shameless. According to the laws of Chu, Your Majesty should arrest them both, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Kangze glared at Lord Li gloomily, making Lord Li look confused. "Your Majesty, I did see it with my own eyes."
"I know you saw it. I will ask you clearly. You didn't understand." Emperor Kangze got so angry that he stood up and left without looking back.
