Chapter 151 This Princess Must Take Her Away Today
Dali Temple.
Xiao Fuguang put his hand on Xingyue's hand and walked in step by step.
Jiang Yuan was also with him.
Su Yan looked at the smile on her face and clenched his fists.
"This is not a place where the Princess Regent should set foot."
"As the regent princess, the princess shouldn't be in the spotlight."
There was coldness in Xiao Fuguang's eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Su, there's no need to use these words to control this princess. The cause of death of the deceased at Yunke Ferry has been thoroughly investigated by the Imperial Preceptor, Lord Chen, and the Ministry of Justice. It was all the work of the Southern Border wizards. The deceased's death has nothing to do with Yunke Ferry. As the owner, Liu Yue should be acquitted."
Su Yan listened and spoke with a gloomy face.
"I don't know when the princess became so nosy. Isn't Liu Yue no longer the princess's? Isn't it a bit unreasonable for the princess to come here to ask for her now?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke slowly after hearing this.
"Sir Su, although I am a member of the harem and cannot see what goes on in the government office, as the regent princess, I am familiar with the laws of Xuanyuan. Today, I only have two questions for you, Sir Su."
"First, according to Xuanyuan law, if someone is implicated and the truth is found to be unjust, shouldn't the Dali Temple release them without charge?"
Su Yan gritted his teeth and spoke after hearing this.
"yes."
Xiao Fuguang looked at his unwilling expression, sneered in his heart, and continued speaking.
"Secondly, as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, shouldn't Lord Su set an example and abide by Xuanyuan law?"
Su Yan looked at her angrily. Even if he was unwilling to let the person go, he could not openly defy Xuanyuan's laws. Otherwise, he would be caught by the Regent and get into trouble.
"yes."
Xiao Fuguang continued to look at her and spoke.
"Liu Yue is indeed no longer my maid, but she is my best friend. Now that she is innocent, I, as her best friend, must take her away. I want to see who dares to stop me."
Su Yan looked at Xiao Fuguang's determined eyes and finally spoke.
"Someone, go and bring Liu Yue here."
Seeing this, Xiao Fuguang sat down on a chair nearby and waited.
Soon Liu Yue was helped in. She was covered in blood and her face was very pale.
Xiao Fuguang stood up suddenly, his eyes full of heartache, and turned around abruptly to look at Su Yan.
"Master Su, this is an abuse of lynching."
Xingyue hurried forward to catch Liuyue and let her lean on her arms.
Jiang Yuan frowned as he looked at the injuries on Liu Yue's body.
Looking at the anger in Xiao Fuguang's eyes, Su Yan finally felt the anger in his heart subside a little, and spoke with a bit of pride on his face.
"Princess, this is the Dali Temple. Interrogating prisoners is just a common practice. Liu Yue is lucky to be able to walk out of the Dali Temple alive today. Your Highness should be grateful that she was smart enough to let her live to see you."
Looking at Liu Yue leaning in Xingyue's arms, Xiao Fuguang looked at Su Yan with murderous intent in his eyes.
Su Yan met her gaze without fear.
"Princess, are you feeling distressed?"
Xiao Fuguang said coldly.
"Master Su is really good at this."
Then he turned around to help Liu Yue.
"Liu Yue."
Liu Yue grabbed Xiao Fuguang's wrist.
"Princess, I knew you would come."
Xiao Fuguang spoke guiltily.
"I'm late."
Liu Yue shook his head weakly.
"It's not too late. I've been waiting for the princess."
Looking at Liu Yue leaning weakly on Xiao Fuguang and Xingyue for support, it was obvious that she had no strength left.
Jiang Yuan stepped forward, pulled Xingyue apart, and picked up Liuyue horizontally.
"Princess, I will carry Miss Liuyue to the carriage."
Xiao Fuguang narrowed his eyes as he watched Jiang Yuan carrying Liu Yue out of the Dali Temple.
When did these two become so close?
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Master Yao spoke with a heavy face.
"When the topic of appointing a crown prince was brought up today, the Emperor even removed his official title as a minister. It seems the Emperor is now determined to protect the Crown Prince."
Prince Rong's face was filled with anger.
"Even if the Crown Prince is a sickly child, why does Father allow him to occupy the throne?"
Duke Yao pondered for a moment.
"I heard that the Queen had previously requested to be deposed. It seems that the Emperor still cares about the relationship between him and the Queen."
Prince Rong looked unwilling when he heard this.
"Then what about his previous favor towards my mother and me?"
Duke Yao sighed and spoke slowly.
"Perhaps the Emperor has other concerns. After all, he is the Emperor and what he wants is to balance the forces of all parties."
"Your Highness, it seems that the Emperor doesn't want you to be the Crown Prince."
Prince Rong's eyes were filled with resentment when he heard this.
"In terms of wealth, power, and prestige, how has this prince lost to that sick wretch? Father is truly getting worse with age..."
Seeing that Prince Rong was about to say something rude, Duke Yao spoke quickly.
"Your Highness, be careful with your words!"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is in such poor health that he cannot attend court. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
Prince Rong spoke after hearing this.
"My mother and I have been waiting for years. Grandfather, the Imperial Preceptor, and the Imperial Physician are all trying to find a solution for the Crown Prince's health. The Imperial Preceptor was able to save the Crown Prince last time, which shows how capable he is. If he really has come up with a solution, what should we do then?"
"The crown prince position must be decided as soon as possible to prevent any changes."
At this time, the guard came in and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness, Lord Su is here."
Su Yan, he usually has the most ideas, Prince Rong spoke quickly.
"Please ask him to come in."
Su Yan came in and bowed.
"Meet the prince."
"Duke Yao."
Prince Rong nodded slightly.
"Sit down and have some tea."
"Doesn't the Dali Temple have a lot of things to do? Why did you suddenly come to me?"
Su Yan bowed when he heard this.
"Of course I'm here to relieve His Highness's worries."
Prince Rong looked at him after hearing this.
"Do you have a solution?"
There was a glimmer of calculation in Su Yan's eyes.
"Your Highness, as long as the Crown Prince is alive, he will be a stumbling block to Your Highness. The Emperor is now using various excuses to shirk his duties, but if the Crown Prince is gone, wouldn't the position of heir be vacant?"
Duke Yao heard this and spoke with a worried look on his face.
"I'm afraid things won't be that simple. The Emperor is clearly still concerned about his relationship with the Empress and the Crown Prince. If something happens to the Crown Prince at this time, suspicion will inevitably fall on Your Highness."
Su Yan smiled slightly and said confidently.
"Don't worry, Duke. I've been your highness's aide for so long, so I'll naturally take care of everything for you."
"If Your Highness trusts me, I will take care of this matter for Your Highness."
Prince Rong's eyes flickered, as if he was weighing Su Yan's words. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of determination.
"Su Yan, if this succeeds, you will have made an indelible contribution; if it fails, you also know the consequences."
Su Yan spoke in a firm tone.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do it perfectly."
