Chapter 637: Make the Decision for Mother
"Your Majesty, Princess Yong'an came with Prince Pei. Also with her are Madam Jiang, the wife of the Minister of Works, and... and Bai Ling, the maidservant of the Sixth Princess."
The Emperor of Great Chu did remember the Minister of Works, Lord Jiang. It was a decision he made with the Crown Prince after discussing it some time ago.
This man had been exiled to the capital for many years, and he was considered diligent and conscientious. Since returning to the capital, he had been doing things in a proper manner. What happened to his wife?
The Emperor of Great Chu naturally remembered Bai Ling, who was Bai Zhi who served Concubine De in the past. At that time, he originally wanted to dispose of this maid, but then he considered that Xing Hui really needed someone to take care of him, and Xing Hui listened to her the most, so he kept her.
How did these people get together?
When the Great Chu Emperor was puzzled, Meng Quande spoke the last sentence: "Your Majesty, Madam Jiang and Bai Ling were brought here tied up."
"Tied?" Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Great Chu and the Crown Prince both showed surprised expressions.
They both knew that Wanwan had the same personality as her mother and would hardly come before the Emperor of Great Chu for any trivial matters.
Not to mention bringing people and coming to Yu's study in a grand manner.
Thinking of this, the Great Chu Emperor no longer hesitated and waved to Meng Quande in front of him: "Quick, let them in."
Not long after, the heavy curtain of Lu's study was opened again, and Lu Xingwan walked in with his head held high. Following him were, of course, Pei Chuyan, who was escorting Mrs. Jiang, and Lin Ji, who was escorting Bai Ling.
Lu Xingwan calmly saluted his father and the crown prince in front of him.
The Great Chu Emperor did not say a word, but just looked at Lu Xingwan in front of him with a puzzled look, as if waiting for her explanation.
"Father, I have something to tell you today." Lu Xingwan looked at the Emperor of Great Chu in front of him without fear and spoke frankly.
Seeing Wanwan so serious, the Emperor of Chu simply stood up and walked forward to pick her up.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingwan took a few steps back and distanced himself from the Great Chu Emperor in front of him: "Father, Wanwan wants to talk to you about serious matters."
"Okay, then you tell me." Seeing her like this, the Great Chu Emperor concealed the smile on his face, nodded lightly, and just looked down at her, waiting for her to finish what she was going to say next.
Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan suddenly realized something, turned around and looked at the two people in front of him, then spoke to the Great Chu Emperor: "Father, I request that they be searched."
Since the two of them had just conspired to use some medicine, the medicine must still be on them.
Isn't it true that evidence is required for everything?
What we need to do now is to get the evidence first.
The Great Chu Emperor always responded to Lu Xingwan's requests, and without asking why, he waved to Meng Quande beside him and said, "Search me!"
As soon as the two words "Emperor of Great Chu" came out, Mrs. Jiang on the side panicked instantly. She shook her head frantically and even began to move her body backwards to avoid Meng Quande's hand.
Bai Ling, who was standing aside, had already knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, and only looked at the panicked Mrs. Jiang with her peripheral vision.
What a fool.
Fortunately, I did not agree to cooperate with her. If that thing was in my hands now, I am afraid that both I and the princess will never be able to clear myself of the blame in our lifetime.
Knowing that this matter might involve a scandal, Meng Quande did not call the eunuch beside him to come in and serve, but walked quickly forward and searched Mrs. Jiang's body.
A small porcelain bottle was found on Mrs. Jiang's body.
When Lu Xingwan saw this, he stepped forward, took the small bottle from Meng Quande's hand, turned around and looked at the Emperor of Great Chu with an even more determined look in his eyes.
"Father, this is it." Lu Xingwan carefully handed the thing to the Great Chu Emperor, and then said, "Father, be careful, this thing might be an aphrodisiac."
Lu Xingwan was naturally afraid that this thing would fall to the ground and break into pieces.
What's more, this thing has extremely strong medicinal power. Even though I have spiritual power, I don't want to waste it in such a place.
The Great Chu Emperor also took the small porcelain bottle and examined it carefully, then looked at Meng Quande who was standing beside him and said, "Go call the imperial physician."
Mrs. Jiang was already sitting paralyzed on the ground at this time. She really didn't expect that Princess Yong'an would actually bring such a matter to His Majesty.
If this incident affects my husband's career, I'm afraid he will divorce me and send me back to my parents' home.
How could my parents' family accept me?
By then, I'm afraid that the only thing waiting for me is death.
Compared to Mrs. Jiang's apathy, Bai Ling was very calm.
In her eyes, she had nothing to do with the matter. She just passed by Yu Garden and talked a few words with Mrs. Jiang.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and quickly determined the ingredients in the medicine. As Lu Xingwan said, the medicine was indeed an aphrodisiac.
After listening to the report from the imperial physician, the Great Chu Emperor's face became solemn. He stared at Madam Jiang in front of him and asked, "Madam Jiang, do you have anything to say?"
Hearing His Majesty's question, Lin Ji on the side hurriedly stepped forward and took the rag out of Mrs. Jiang's mouth.
When Mrs. Jiang heard that His Majesty wanted to question her, she knew that her chance had come. She immediately shook her head in panic, kowtowed, and began to explain: "Your Majesty, I...I am guilty."
"She gave this to me!" Madam Jiang pointed to Bai Ling who was standing beside her. "Just now, I was feeling dizzy on the side of the road in Yu Garden. This little maid told me that this thing can refresh me."
"I didn't know this was an aphrodisiac!"
"It's just that before I could use this medicine, Master Pei took it to Yu's study."
In order to avoid punishment from His Majesty, Mrs. Jiang spoke without thinking in a panic.
But her panicked look made it clear that no one could believe what she said.
During the whole process, Lu Xingwan stood not far behind her, looking at her coldly without saying a word.
The little twists and turns in my mind kept circling around but never stopped.
【Just keep talking nonsense! 】
[Do you think my father is a fool? He would believe your lies. ]
[I heard it clearly just now. You and Bai Ling were clearly discussing taking action against my mother! ]
[Now that the evidence has been found, you still dare to be stubborn here! ]
[It doesn't matter. Today I will make you give up. ]
[You guys only know how to bully my mother all day long, just because she has a good temper. ]
【I will make the decision for my mother today! 】
The Great Chu Emperor naturally heard Lu Xingwan's mumbling, and he knew in his heart that this matter was probably most likely the same as what Lu Xingwan said.
He was extremely angry. He never expected that these people would harm Qingyan right under his nose.
But I was also moved by Wanwan's filial piety.
The child has grown up and knows how to make decisions for his mother.
I just don't know when I can make the decision for myself.
Wanwan: Father, you are the most powerful person in Da Chu. You can kill anyone you want.
Wanwan's tiny body is so adorable when she comes out to make decisions for her mother.
But of course I have to accompany Wanwan to continue playing this role.
