"Yuan Jinghe, you said that Prince Wu Ling tore your daughter's clothes and defamed her innocence. Did your daughter say that herself?"
"Your Majesty, my daughter is timid and didn't dare to mention this matter after returning home. It was someone who traveled with me who told me about this matter."
Dugu Yu said, "In that case, may I ask this Lord Yuan, when, where, and under what circumstances did I rip the clothes of your daughter?"
"Since Miss Yuan has someone traveling with her, and they're willing to speak out, why not call that person over, and everyone else who was traveling with Miss Yuan, so we can all come together to testify? What do you think?"
Haha, if you dare to tell me that that group of people went to Prince Duan’s Manor, I will respect you as a man!
"this……"
The emperor waited for a while and saw that Yuan Jinghe was shaking like a sieve and couldn't speak for a long time.
"How dare you! Do you know what a sin it is to wrongly accuse a prince? If you don't tell the truth, I will immediately remove your official hat!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I never lied. I heard about this outside and asked my daughter when I got home. She said it was true!"
King Wu Ling said, "So, the fact that I tore Miss Yuan's clothes is already known to everyone, right?"
If you can hear it just by walking around outside? Then this witness shouldn't be hard to find, right?
Yuan Jinghe: “…”
"Master Yuan? Really?"
“No… no…”
Dugu Yu sighed helplessly, "Have you thought it through? How did you know this?"
"How about you first tell me when, where, and under what circumstances I tore Miss Yuan's clothes? After all, I've never met any of the women in your Yuan family, and I've never had the chance to meet them."
The family of a minor official like hers doesn't even have the qualifications to attend the palace banquet. Where can she meet King Wu Ling?
Yuan Jinghe suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "I have spoken out of turn. I was wrong. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The emperor was furious with Yuan Jinghe and said, "Come here, drag Yuan Jinghe away and hand him over to the Dali Temple for dismissal and investigation!"
"Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me!"
Prince Duan could never have imagined that Prince Wuling, a man of integrity and courage, would lie with his eyes open and refuse to admit it.
When did this dull guy become so eloquent?
That eloquent speaker didn't even need to argue with Yu Shangshu. He didn't even need to defend his innocence. He just said a few random words that everyone knew were nonsense, and Yu Shangshu was silenced.
He's like a completely different person.
At this time, Minister Yu was in tears and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"You are a dignified minister, yet you cannot distinguish right from wrong and only listen to one side, slandering the prince! I will fine you half a year's salary as a warning to others. If you do it again, I will replace you!"
"I acknowledge my guilt and bow down to thank the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
After the court session, Yu Shangshu apologized to Dugu Yu and Qin Shangshu like a grandson...
After returning home, Dugu Yu took Qin Qingyao by the hand to change into court clothes, and told her what happened at the morning court as if to take credit for it.
But this time Qin Qingyao did not praise him, nor did she jump up excitedly and kiss him.
Instead, he had a look of shock on his face, with a thousand divine beasts galloping through his heart.
Is there still justice? She kidnapped Lu Qifeng, but it was Dugu Yu who was the one who laughed when he saved Yuan Yi.
She gave Lu Qifeng an idea to ruin his marriage with Yuan Yixiao, but Yuan Yixiao's father ended up blaming Duguyu and even tried to get the emperor to force Duguyu to marry Yuan Yixiao?
Damn it, will Dugu Yu be the one to take the consequences of whatever good things she ruins for the hero and heroine in the future? This is too scary!
"Hubby, who do you think told this to others? And they even went to tell Yuan Yixiao's father?"
There were so many people around at that time, who knows who said it? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that he solved the problem perfectly, and Yuan Jinghe still has to go to jail.
He slandered the prince and deceived the emperor, so he deserves death.
In fact, Qin Qingyao's first reaction was Lin Xiafeng, because in the original plot, for the sake of Lin Xiafeng's reputation, no one mentioned what happened in Yingfeng Village.
Those guards and young ladies were just minor characters, and it was impossible for them to change the plot without permission. The only one who could tell this story was Lin Xiafeng himself.
But why did Lin Xiafeng reveal this matter? And even let someone bring it to the emperor?
"Husband, that Yuan Yi laughed at her father, saying that he was just a minor official and had no right to attend court? Who brought this to the Emperor's attention?"
"Minister Yu from the Ministry of War."
"Minister Yu? The Ministry of War is full of lackeys of Prince Duan, including Yuan Yixiao's father."
Moreover, Yuan Yixiao is a very important supporting role. She helped Prince Duan to gain control of a border pass and a force of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses!
So, now Yuan Jinghe is in jail before he even shows his power? So, who will help Ling Jingxuan capture the Jiayi Pass guarded by General Sun?
The story of the Yuan family has collapsed too far.
Could it be that Lin Xiafeng destroyed all of Ling Jingxuan's things in order to squeeze another woman into the Wuling Palace?
If Ling Jingxuan knew what happened next, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood!
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao who was concentrating on thinking about the problem and ignored him. He felt a little aggrieved. Didn’t he think that he performed very well today and deserved praise?
After breakfast, Dugu Yu was in a bad mood.
"I'm going out for a while and may not be back for lunch."
"Let's go to Wangjiang Tower, right?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
"I just asked casually, I don't mean anything else, just go ahead!"
Qin Qingyao is a very emotional person. If she is angry or unwilling, even a blind person can see it. She will definitely not be able to hide it.
So she really didn't want Dugu Yu to go to Wangjiang Tower now. She did think Dugu Yu performed well after he came in.
About the plots where he and Lin Xiafeng met by chance while having dinner, drinking tea, or drinking wine, and they chatted at any time, confided their feelings to each other at any time, and he was always Lin Xiafeng's intimate big brother and super spare tire.
Now everything has collapsed and I have become someone who never leaves my house.
So now she completely trusts Dugu Yu, not afraid that he will be led astray by a small encounter again
Of course, we still need to pay attention to some major plots, she is counting the days!
According to the timeline of Dugu Yu and Lin Xiafeng, the day when Lin Xiafeng comes to Prince Wuling's Mansion and slaps her in the face is not far away!
Qin Qingyao was in the attic of the tallest building in the Wuling Palace. She sat on the high railing, swinging her legs and supporting her head with her hands, thinking about what she should do when Lin Xiafeng came.
Because the plot description in that section is too specific, it writes down everything that was said and what actions were taken, so it would be difficult to avoid it.
In the original novel, because the princess had wronged Dugu Yu, she was slapped in the face, and her bad ending was very satisfying and cheered by the people.
But Qin Qingyao didn't feel happy. She just felt sorry for Dugu Yu and didn't understand why the author was reluctant to give Dugu Yu a good wife so that he could live a good life for a few days.
Especially since Princess Wu Ling was her title, so she became even angrier.
The purpose of that meeting was mainly to highlight her rudeness and lack of knowledge, which was actually not a big deal. But afterwards, Prince Duan seemed to report to the emperor on the disaster relief work for the floods in the south.
According to the date, this year's harvest should be counted and reported to the emperor.
It's definitely horrific.
Therefore, Prince Duan mentioned to the emperor at the morning court that taxes should be reduced or exempted for the three disaster-stricken provinces in the south next year.
At that time, Qin Qingyao felt that the plot was too exaggerated. How big was the flood that flooded three provinces at once?
Before Prince Duan talked about this matter with the emperor, he had made sufficient preparations. First, he brought Dugu Yu into the group and asked Dugu Yu to support him in the court.
Then he asked Dugu Yu to reach an agreement with the Qin family and get Minister Qin to support him as well.
Because Qin Qingyao eloped with someone on their wedding night, Minister Qin could never hold his head up in front of Dugu Yu for the rest of his life.
The Qin family are all kind people, so they wanted to compensate Dugu Yu, and also hoped that he would treat Qin Qingyao well in consideration of the help and support the Qin family gave him.
In the end, the entire Qin family had to compensate him!
The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the Six Ministries. It has complex networks and is connected to many people. It is completely different from these two princes who are alone.
Therefore, after Minister Qin agreed, many people came out to second the proposal, and the suggestion was passed.
His Royal Highness Prince Duan worked for the welfare of the people and his reputation quickly became very popular.
Qin Qingyao knew about this matter soon, but she really couldn't remember which number it was.
It seems that she has to talk to Dugu Yu about this matter as soon as possible and ask him to send people to the areas affected by the floods to investigate the situation. She always feels that there is something fishy about this matter, and it is a big one!
However, she was still a step too late. Prince Duan asked Dugu Yu to come out today because the grain production of the three southern provinces this year had been calculated.
Ling Jingxuan was a man of good eloquence and high emotional intelligence. He showed concern for the country and the people, and on behalf of the people, he toasted and sincerely pleaded with Dugu Yu.
Dugu Yu was not a bully who didn't care about the lives of the people. It was a good thing for him to reduce taxes and maintain the lives of the people.
So, he agreed without hesitation.
After the two of them had lunch, Ling Jingxuan said she wanted to go to the training ground and wanted Dugu Yu to go with her, but Dugu Yu did not go.
He is not leading the troops now and is always running to the training ground. The emperor thinks he is greedy for military power!
So pillow talk is really useful. Qin Qingyao teaches him by example all day long to be more restrained and keep a low profile.
Although he was never told about his achievements being too great and threatening the emperor, or about whether the emperor trusted him or not.
But Dugu Yu fully understood what she did and her painstaking efforts. After all, he was no longer the foolish man who was so stubborn and had no wit.
After finding an excuse to go home, Dugu Yu was hugged by Qin Qingyao as soon as he entered the door.
This girl wouldn't be waiting at the door all this time, right? Didn't she say she wouldn't be back at noon?
"Did you have meal?"
"I've eaten, honey. I remembered something very important today and I must tell you!"
After the two entered the house, Qin Qingyao did not ask Dugu Yu who he met and what he said today, but first told him that Prince Duan wanted to talk to the emperor about reducing taxes.
