"How dare you! You are so daredevil, Mo Tingzhu. I have let you become even more lawless, haven't I?"
The emperor frowned, with a "川" character formed between his eyebrows, and looked extremely angry.
"Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Wanwan. These two people insisted on coming in front of you and asking you to judge the matter before they would let it go." Mo Tingzhu spread his hands, looking helpless.
How could the emperor not know this?
But one came in upright and the other came in lying down, how can they be the same?
Moreover, Mo Tingzhu's identity is awkward, so even if he is right, he will become unreasonable. If Mo Tingzhu is right.
The emperor said that this matter was all the fault of the boy from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. After all, his and Mo Tingzhu's identities were there, and people would inevitably say that he was biased and only cared about favoring his own nephew.
Tang Qingyue saw the situation clearly, knelt down and started crying.
"This humble servant and the Marquis are here to greet Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are so wise and powerful. Please make the decision for us."
The emperor was already upset, and seeing her crying made him even more upset, but he was the king of a country after all, and there was no reason for him to ignore the matter since it had come to him.
"Tell me what happened."
Tang Qingyue wiped away her tears and said, "Today is the great day of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's housewarming party. I kindly invited my sister to the party, but who could have known that my sister would still have evil intentions towards my husband and deliberately tried to seduce him. When seduction failed, she resorted to violence against him."
"My master fell ill a few days ago. Before he recovered, he was beaten..." When she said this, she wiped away her tears and sobbed twice.
"Your Majesty, I believe I have never done anything to offend my sister. I don't know why my sister would do this."
The emperor couldn't stand it any longer: "Since she is married, she has become a woman, and her status is higher than yours. You should call her the princess."
"Your Highness just felt that she had a good relationship with the princess, so, that's why she didn't make it too important..." Tang Qingyue's tone was abashed, and she was obviously a little embarrassed.
The emperor paid no attention to these minor details, but continued, "Since you said that Princess Anping had a close relationship with you, then how could you have seduced the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery? Isn't that contradictory?"
The emperor's voice suddenly rose a few notes. Tang Qingyue had never seen the emperor's face so closely. After all, he had been on the throne for many years, and his temperament was unmatched by others.
She was so frightened that she trembled and almost couldn't hold it in and told the truth.
However, she swallowed the words on her lips and turned to throw herself on He Yi: "I don't know why the princess did this. I just have good intentions. Before the princess got married, she had always coveted the marquis. I thought she would change her mind after marrying the prince. I didn't expect that she would take the opportunity this time and do such a lewd thing."
"Princess Anping, tell me if the facts are really as your sister said."
Tang Wan bowed respectfully and knelt on the ground.
She had just knelt halfway when Mo Tingzhu helped her up, then took off his cloak and placed it under her knees.
The emperor was simply impressed by this useless nephew. The grass was even growing on her head, yet he still spoiled her so much. I really don't know where he learned this from.
"Mo Tingzhu, are you pretending that I don't exist?"
"Uncle, my wife is delicate and cannot kneel. Even so, I don't want her to kneel. If she really has to kneel, I can do it for her." Mo Tingzhu stiffened his neck and looked at him fearlessly.
"You bastard, you bastard!" The emperor pointed at him and trembled, his face flushed with anger.
He finally knew who this boy looked like. His stubborn look was exactly like his royal brother. He was so stubborn that even eight donkeys couldn't pull him back.
Tang Wan said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Why don't you listen to my niece's story?"
"Okay, tell me now." The emperor calmed down and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. Although this woman was beautiful, how could she have bewitched that brat like that?
You know, although this kid had done some stupid things before, he never talked back to him. This is the first time ever.
If this woman only has a beautiful face, then my nephew's vision is too superficial.
He looked at her quietly, waiting for her to speak.
Tang Wan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the version I want to tell you is completely different from that of this Marquis' wife."
"After repeatedly urging her to drink wine at the dinner table, the marquis' wife suggested tea instead. So, my niece drank her tea, and soon she felt dizzy."
"The Marquis' wife asked the maid to take me to the side room to rest. I didn't think much of it and followed her. But as soon as I entered, I felt a burning sensation all over my body. And not long after, the Marquis barged in."
"Unfortunately, my niece and the prince often exercise together. I think the marquis is not in good health, so he didn't fight. That's what happened."
Tang Qingyue's eyes were panicked, and she screamed, "You're lying, you're lying, this is totally fake!"
"The truth will be revealed once it is verified. Your Majesty, you can ask the noble ladies who attended the banquet today. They will surely be able to testify on my behalf."
Tang Wan spoke clearly and logically, blocking back every word she was about to say.
"Princess, it's obvious that you failed to seduce my husband, so you got angry out of shame. At that time, there were only the two of you there. What was true and what was false, what was false, how can what you said count?"
As she spoke, she secretly shed tears. She looked like she had been severely bullied. The fact that there was a seriously injured person lying next to her made her look even more miserable and pitiful.
With this performance, the two of them are like a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, and Tang Wan and Mo Tingzhu are the vicious bird catchers.
"Madam Hou, you said I seduced your husband, do you have any evidence?"
"My husband is the witness. It was just the two of you at the time. He's lying on the ground now, struggling to move. Isn't his word more convincing?"
"But, haven't you also been disgusted with him for a long time? You even pulled me aside and talked about him for a long time, saying that he was short and ugly. Why did I give up Mo Tingzhu for an ugly shorty like your husband?"
He Yi, who was lying on the ground, became furious when he heard this and subconsciously wanted to jump up and hit someone.
But considering that she was injured, she forced herself to hold back, but still stretched out a hand and pinched her waist hard.
Tang Qingyue tried hard not to scream, but her eyes soon filled with tears.
"Princess, I know you won't admit it, but it's common knowledge that the young prince is simply... inhumane. So, when I say you like the marquis, there are clues."
