Chapter 32 I was wrong, please let me go!
"How can this be possible!"
Song Jinhuai retorted subconsciously, but the emperor's face instantly turned cold and he said indifferently.
"Well, it's time to punish."
Duke Song grabbed Song Jinhuai, knelt down hurriedly, and crawled towards the emperor.
Just about to howl.
The emperor raised his eyes and asked Eunuch Yu.
"Today's tea is delicious. It leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. It makes you feel refreshed after drinking it."
Eunuch Yu smiled and bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is the tea that Miss Chu sent. I've had it examined by the imperial physician, and he says it's excellent. Drinking a few cups a day can prolong your life, replenish your qi and blood, and make your body stronger and more vigorous. Even if you're older, you can still have two children every three years."
"oh?"
The emperor's eyes lit up and he became alert for a moment, looking at Chu Jiuning.
"Send some more tea."
There was a slight flicker in Chu Jiu's eyes, and he thought to himself that this dog emperor had finally taken the bait, so he lowered his eyes and said softly.
"Your Majesty, I only have three taels of tea left, and it's all in your temple. Please bring it to you when the time comes. The tea-making process is very complicated, requiring many precious herbs and rare flowers. I don't have much authority, so I can only purchase a little at a time. If Your Majesty can grant me permission, I can make more. Now, I can only make two kilograms a year. With permission, I should be able to make ten or twenty kilograms."
Only two kilograms?
It's not enough for him to drink alone.
The aristocratic families all stretched their necks as they listened. After drinking too much and feeling energetic, how could they possibly have two children in three years? Remembering their own lethargy that night, they resolved to buy some drinks no matter how expensive it was.
"If I have the authority, I will send half of the tea I roast to the palace and sell the other half to cover the expenses of the shop."
"What's the name of this tea?"
Some powerful families couldn't help but ask.
"It's called Sleepless Tea. After drinking this tea, you'll feel energetic and refreshed, hence the name. It's best not to drink too much at night. Only Panchaxuan sells some in the entire capital, and because the quantity is so small, the price is relatively high."
The nobles raised their eyebrows, thinking that after all, it was made with precious medicinal materials, so its high price made sense.
One of them saluted the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's just about opening up some permissions to purchase more things. It's not a big deal. Why not give it to her?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you fry an extra pound, Your Majesty can drink more. You are so tired from reviewing memorials every day, so you need to drink some."
"She donated so much silver. Opening up the authority should be considered a reward, Your Majesty."
The Duke of Song's Mansion and Song Jinhuai stared in amazement as the aristocratic families did not help them but instead spoke up for Chu Jiuning. For a moment, blood rushed to their throats.
The emperor thought it made sense and nodded.
"good."
Afterwards, Eunuch Yu went to make arrangements, and soon handed a document to Chu Jiuning. Chu Jiuning took it respectfully and stroked the seal of the document with great care.
"This is the first time I've seen such a magnificent seal. Your Majesty is so kind. I'll make a golden statue for you and pray that you live long and long."
Chu Jiuning was filled with gratitude and knelt down with joy. Seeing her eyes full of admiration, the emperor became even more friendly to her.
Looking at Duke Song and Song Jinhuai again, their eyes were not eyes and their noses were not noses, which made people very angry, so he flicked his sleeves and said.
"Since the prince has made a decision, we will obey him."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Jiuning again.
"Jiuning, you have indeed been wronged in this matter. So..."
Look at Father-in-law Yu.
"Go pick out some good things and give them to Jiu Ning as rewards."
"Yes, I will take care of it in a moment."
Eunuch Yu bowed in response, then helped the emperor leave quickly.
Prince Yun and Princess Yun hurried over. Princess Yun held Chu Jiuning's hand and looked at her bruised forehead, saying with heartache.
"Why are you using so much force? You'll only suffer if you break yourself."
"The situation forced me to do so. Princess, how have you been these past two days?"
Chu Jiuning looked at her and His Royal Highness Prince Yun, who had a tacit understanding with each other, and felt very comforted. Prince Yun liked her, and she also liked Prince Yun. This was good.
"I'm fine. Didn't I have to take An Yinyin to the downtown area to kneel down for you? Come on, let's go and take a look together."
Princess Yun took her hand and they both turned and left the hall.
Song Jinhuai stared blankly at the affectionate appearance of Princess Yun and Chu Jiuning, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Chu Jiuning actually bribed Princess Yun?
He doesn't know.
After Madam Yang and Princess Yun returned, they told everyone every detail of what had happened. Now the reputation of the Song family has been trampled underfoot.
An Yinyin finally arrived at the palace gate and waited for them to come out, sweating profusely.
Seeing this, I want to go forward to meet him.
But the guards stepped forward and forced her onto the carriage, then rode away regardless of her struggles.
Chu Jiuning and the others quickly arrived at the downtown area. The maids opened the curtains on the carriage, revealing the luxurious and comfortable interior.
The guard dragged An Yinyin in front of them and said coldly.
"The Emperor has ordered you to receive fifty slaps on the face and kneel before Miss Chu and kowtow in apology."
An Yinyin was completely stunned. She turned around hurriedly and looked around, but she didn't see Song Jinhuai coming to save her, and the people around her were getting more and more.
Everyone pointed at her and she felt so ashamed that she covered her face and screamed.
She was once the famous cousin of the Duke's Mansion and was loved and respected by everyone. She would never apologize to that bitch Chu Jiuning.
"I am the legitimate daughter of the Minister's Mansion and the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion. You can't treat me like this."
An Yinyin struggled to get up and run in panic, but was kicked down by a guard. An old maid from the palace rushed over, grabbed her neck and beat her hard.
It won’t take long.
An Yinyin screamed while crying and spitting blood.
"I'm willing to apologize. Stop hitting me. I'm willing to apologize."
The palace maid let her go, and An Yinyin knelt in front of Chu Jiuning, crying.
"I...I was wrong, please let me go."
If she continues to fight like this, her face will be useless. Without her beauty, how can she control Song Jinhuai? An Yinyin will regret it like crazy now. She shouldn't have followed him back home and shouldn't have chosen to deprive Song Jinhuai of his position as the crown prince.
Because of the Song family's favor towards her, she lost her mind, so every step she took today was wrong.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, uh..."
In the carriage.
Chu Jiuning and Princess Yun sat side by side, both of them dignified and noble.
Hearing her words, Chu Jiuning raised her eyes.
"It's not that I want to beat you, it's that the Emperor thinks you're violating morals and corrupting the morals of the capital, so that's why he wants to beat you."
As soon as this charge was brought up, An Yinyin collapsed on the spot, screaming and glaring at Chu Jiuning with hatred like a broken heart.
"It's like slaughtering a pig, it's too noisy. Princess, let's stop watching and go back to meet His Royal Highness Prince Yun."
