Chapter 129 If you meddle in her business again, I’ll be a dog!
"Your Majesty, spare my life! I..." Lu Changqing kowtowed fiercely, lying on the ground and not daring to look up, "My brother is also... to share your worries. I guess he saw that Fang Qingshi had not confessed for a long time, so in order to close the case as soon as possible, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
"Lord Lu, it's easy for you to say it. In order to close the case as quickly as possible, can you frame the current Grand Tutor and put the lives of hundreds of people in my family in danger?" Fang Qianxue retorted.
Emperor Ming frowned, looking at the two people kneeling below. They were once close friends, but now they have become enemies. He couldn't help but find it interesting.
"Your Majesty! Although the confession is fake, it is absolutely true that Prince Yong is plotting a rebellion. Fang Qingshi was responsible for teaching Prince Yong. He cannot escape the blame for teaching a student who is plotting a rebellion!" Lu Changqing said sincerely, "My brother and I are loyal to Your Majesty. We did not intend to deceive Your Majesty. Please understand!"
"Your Majesty, there are many suspicious points in this case, and you should be given the benefit of the doubt." Yan Fenghua said.
"Your Majesty, I also think..."
Before Dali Temple Minister Zhuang Yucheng could finish his words, he saw Emperor Ming press his palm downwards.
"You have been arguing for so long that I am exhausted," Emperor Ming narrowed his wrinkled eyes and scanned everyone. A sense of pressure quickly spread in the courtroom, "Call Yang Shijun and the silkworm concubine Xu Miaoyan tomorrow. I want to try this case myself."
"yes!"
***
Bac Ninh Palace.
There was only a lamp on the desk in the study. The dim light shone on the man's face, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Aphrodisiac?!" Xiao Mingzhe almost broke the Buddhist beads on his bracelet. "She is so brave!"
He was not opposed to consummating his marriage with Fang Qianxue, and even if she wanted a child, they could discuss it, but he could not tolerate being led by the nose.
Fang used such sinister means to humiliate his body and mind!
"My Lord, the princess is also worried about your health... She has come up with this desperate measure in order to give birth to a child for you as soon as possible." Snow Wolf lowered his head and glanced at him quietly, "This Qianrihao is not a strong medicine. In my opinion, you should just pretend you don't know about this matter and take advantage of the situation. It won't save any meat..."
"Are you rebelling?" Xiao Mingzhe gave him a cold look, and Xuelang quickly shut up.
"Oh, she wants to use her offspring to control me, but I won't let her have her way!" Xiao Mingzhe snorted coldly, "I will move to the study room tonight."
The emperor was not completely confident in him because he could not have any children.
"Why bother..." Snow Wolf muttered, "Yes, you are right."
"Go and prepare your bedding. Remember, don't tell anyone else about the sachet." Xiao Mingzhe waved his hands irritably.
"Yes." Xuelang was about to leave when he remembered something, "Then...will you still take care of the Fang family's case tomorrow?"
Xiao Mingzhe smashed the Buddhist beads with a "bang", and the four treasures of the study on the table made a "clang" sound.
"If you meddle in her business again, I'll be a dog!" It's impossible to care. From now on, Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao!
The snow wolf fled in panic.
***
The Lu family is proud of the plum blossoms.
Xu Miaoyan was as panicked as an ant on a hot pan at this moment. Just now during dinner, Lu Changqing said that the Fang family wanted to overturn the verdict and had already found evidence. The emperor would try her tomorrow!
what to do?
Guilt and fear flooded into Xu Miaoyan's brain like a tide. She recalled what she heard those war horses say on the day when the Yongwang Mansion was massacred.
"Prince Yong bought the horses for the war in the southern border. I don't know who framed him for treason, and hundreds of lives were lost. The youngest was only one month old!"
"Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. If you do too many evil things, you will be punished sooner or later!"
"Madam! Second Madam!" Xiuqiu patted her shoulder, "What's wrong with you? The hot water is ready..."
Xu Miaoyan stood up suddenly: "No need to wash, I want to go to the palace to see the Queen, quickly prepare the carriage for me!"
Although Xiuqiu was full of doubts, she could tell from her panicked look that something big had happened, so she hurried to prepare the carriage.
The palace gate had already been closed, but Xu Miaoyan had a token given by Emperor Ming that allowed her to enter and exit the palace freely, so the guards at the gate did not stop her and let her go to Fengqi Palace.
Empress Yang thought that after all, Xu helped the tenth prince get the position of crown prince, so she gave her some face. Although she thought it was troublesome, she still took her to the Yangxin Palace to meet the emperor: "Your Majesty, Xu said she had something urgent to do and she had to see you."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Miaoyan knelt down tremblingly, and said with tears in her eyes, "I have something important to ask, please... please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Ming raised his head from the memorial, glanced at the kneeling woman, and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
She is indeed graceful and charming. No wonder Lu Changqing insisted on marrying her even after forcing his first wife and biological children to leave.
With such a beauty begging him, Emperor Ming would naturally not be hard-hearted: "Queen, please go back. I will listen to what she has to say."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Empress Yang appeared respectful but she cursed in her heart. She hated the old emperor for his audacity and also hated Xu for her blatant seduction.
Emperor Ming sent away the eunuchs and palace maids, and the Yangxin Palace became quiet.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"It's... Prince Yong's case. I heard that the case will be retried?" Xu Miaoyan said in a trembling voice, "I am afraid..."
"Hahaha..." Emperor Ming laughed, "What are you afraid of?"
"The reason why I came to Shangjing City is because I exposed Prince Yong's rebellion. I am afraid that Your Majesty will punish me if he rehabilitates Prince Yong." Xu Miaoyan said evasively.
"I know you are loyal to me. This case cannot be overturned in a few words. Don't worry." Emperor Ming yawned and looked at her meaningfully. "It's late tonight. You should stay in the palace!"
"Ah?" Xu Miaoyan raised her head like a frightened little white rabbit, and understood the old emperor's hint, "No, no..."
There was no way she would be someone's concubine, even if that person was the emperor.
Emperor Ming frowned, but did not force her: "What I mean is that you go to the Queen's Palace to rest, and go to the Ministry of Justice with me tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Miaoyan kowtowed to express her gratitude.
The next morning, she and the emperor left the palace in a carriage, which was an honor she had never received before.
Xu Miaoyan felt dazed and couldn't tell what she was feeling.
In the morning, the emperor rewarded her with a red jade bracelet from the Western Regions and a red coral hairpin from the South China Sea. She had never used such good things after following Lu Changqing for so long.
The old emperor leaned back in his chair, looking at the girl opposite him, and could see clearly what she was thinking.
Ever since Yu's death, women have been the same to him, just like dogs that will gnaw at any bone thrown to them.
The Ministry of Justice court.
When everyone saw Xu Miaoyan following Emperor Ming in, their minds were filled with mixed thoughts.
Last night, Lu Changqing heard from the servants that Xu Miaoyan had gone to the palace to look for the queen. He waited until late at night but she didn't come out. In the morning, she came with the emperor. Could it be that...
Impossible! Miao Yan only has him in her heart. She must have come to the palace to ask His Majesty for help.
