Chapter 308 Guo Ping "surrenders"
Before anyone else could say anything, Concubine Yao spoke first.
"Her Majesty, please be careful. Princess Yong'an is really naughty. Don't hurt her by mistake."
After hearing this, Lu Xingwan glanced at Concubine Yao.
Naturally, her expression caught the Queen Mother's attention.
This woman is really annoying. Every word she says is annoying.
Of course, Lu Xingwan was not the only one who disliked what she said.
But before the Queen Mother could say anything, she was interrupted by the Empress: "If Concubine Yao has nothing to do, please go back first."
Now Shen Ning has seen through all the people around him. None of them are very smart.
He clearly saw that Yong'an was the favorite in the palace, and that Song Qingyan was the apple of the Emperor of Great Chu's eye, yet he was trying desperately to seek death.
She was really tired.
Concubine Yao had not expected that the Empress would suddenly speak so coldly to her, but now with her back against the Empress, she did not dare to say a word. She just bowed respectfully and walked out.
Shen Ning immediately said, "The matter of the Third Prince and the Third Princess is your Majesty's decision, so don't be too sad, mother."
The Queen Mother just shook her head gently: "The Emperor has always been the most prudent in doing things. He has his own plans. We women should not be concerned about it."
The Queen Mother's words were meant to warn the Empress.
This matter is not the business of the harem, so she doesn't need to interfere too much.
For such a big event, the Emperor of Great Chu naturally came to Rongle Palace early in the morning and explained the whole story to the Queen Mother.
Perhaps no matter how naughty and disruptive the two children, Jinchen and Xingyu, were in the past, His Majesty could have forgiven them.
Even for such a serious crime as allocating court officials, the Emperor of Great Chu simply cut off all the connections and prepared to imprison the Third Prince forever in the Changqiu Palace.
But their mother touched the chagrin of the Emperor of Great Chu.
The woman he had raised since she was a child actually died in his harem.
How could he forgive these people so easily?
The Queen Mother is not really close to these children, and now that things have come to this, there is naturally no need for her to help them any further.
It's dealt with, so it's dealt with.
The Queen originally wanted to find out something from the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to have such an attitude.
She didn't even protect her own grandsons and granddaughters. It seems that the royal family's affection is really cold.
Thinking of this, the queen's thoughts gradually drifted away.
Lord Rong and Lord Shen made rapid progress. Within three days, they had thoroughly investigated the murder of Pei Xian by He Yong.
Rong Da was so angry that he threw the confession in his hand to the ground and even wanted to rush over to kill He Yong.
I have never seen Lord Rong so unstable.
Lord Shen hurried forward to stop him and said, "Lord Rong, don't worry. Now that the truth has been revealed, His Majesty will definitely not let him go."
But Lord Rong still struggled to go to the cell where He Yong was imprisoned.
This was exactly the scene that Prime Minister Lin saw when he arrived.
Lord Rong was struggling, and Lord Shen was holding his waist, which seemed to be very...the two of them fought in one place.
"My Lords, my Lords," Prime Minister Lin felt that he had to use up all his energy to separate the two men. "You are now working on a case together, so just make everything clear. What's the point of fighting like this?"
The scene that Your Majesty was worried about finally happened.
When Prime Minister Lin said this, the two of them suddenly froze in place.
They looked at Prime Minister Lin in astonishment.
"You, why are you looking at me?" Their look made Prime Minister Lin feel uneasy.
"Hahahaha..." Lord Shen suddenly laughed and looked at Lord Rong, "Lord Rong, are we two really acting so discordant? Prime Minister Lin must have thought we were fighting just now!"
Lord Rong suddenly realized.
Pulling Prime Minister Lin aside, he started talking about He Yong: "Do you think a person like this can still be considered a human being?"
"Ms. Pei was once the most beautiful girl in the capital, but she was framed by such a beast."
The reason why Lord Rong was so excited was that when Pei Xian was still a guest at his school, he had indeed been attracted to her.
Although she later chose He Yong, Lord Rong sincerely blessed her.
But she didn't expect that He Yong was only interested in the power and status of the Anguo Mansion and had no feelings for her at all.
How could such a woman be ruined by such a scumbag?
"In my opinion, He Yong should be torn into pieces!"
Naturally, it was the first time that Prime Minister Lin had seen Lord Rong so impulsive, so he quickly spoke to comfort him: "Lord Rong, don't worry. His Majesty will make the final decision on this matter. We just need to report it to His Majesty first."
Before meeting Lord Rong and his entourage, the Emperor of Great Chu first met the Minister of Revenue Guo Ping.
Naturally, it was Guo Ping who knelt outside Yu's study and asked to see His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" After seeing the Emperor of Great Chu, Guo Ping knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed without saying a word.
Finally, the Emperor of Great Chu was excited: "If the Minister of Revenue has something to say, just say it, if not, just forget it."
Hearing the slightly angry tone of the Great Chu Emperor, Guo Ping quickly spoke: "Your Majesty, I am here to apologize."
"The former Minister of Personnel, Lord Shen, was framed by me at the behest of the Third Prince for selling official positions and titles."
Guo Ping was filled with deep regret. He never expected that the Second Prince had come to him not to win him over, but to give him a chance.
Give yourself a chance to turn from darkness to light.
But I didn't catch it.
Now I can only kneel before His Majesty and feel regretful. I don't know what kind of ending is waiting for me.
If I had listened to the Second Prince before, maybe I would have been rewarded for reporting the case, and His Majesty might have let me go.
But now, first it was Prime Minister Cui, and now it’s the Third Prince. If His Majesty gets angry, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to walk out of Yu’s study alive.
But after hearing what Guo Ping said, the Emperor of Great Chu was not as angry as he had expected. What was even more terrifying was that His Majesty actually smiled, and then sat on the dragon throne, waiting for his next words.
Guo Ping didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Now the Third Prince is in a position where everyone is pushing him down." The voice of the Great Chu Emperor suddenly rang above Guo Ping's head.
"I dare not, I dare not. I wanted to complain to Your Majesty before, but I was really afraid." Guo Ping's mind suddenly became clear. "The Third Prince said that if I don't obey, my daughter will end up like Lin Yin."
"Your Majesty also knows that my daughter is a spoiled child who is loved by her family. If it is true...if it is true..." Guo Ping never said those words, "I am afraid that my wife and I will not be able to survive."
Speaking of this, Guo Ping even burst into tears.
This made the Emperor of Chu believe him a little.
