Chapter 24: It’s not easy to turn evil, the villain sighs (24)
"I know I shouldn't have let A-Li knock on the door of the Divine Doctor Valley, but Master, A-Li is the Fourth Prince after all. Do you really want to make an enemy of the entire dynasty?"
Qiao Ling'er spoke as she carefully took his pulse.
However, her medical skills could not detect the severe poison in A Li's body, which shows how difficult it is to cure.
Tang Bao smiled harmlessly: "I'm just a three-year-old baby. What's the point of you telling me? Do you have any evidence to prove that I poisoned you?"
It's just a threat.
Murong Li frowned at Qiao Ling'er's nervous expression, "If she hasn't been diagnosed, it means she hasn't had it yet. Don't be afraid."
"Don't be too happy too soon. Have you forgotten that I kicked you down before?"
Tang Bao exposed Murong Li's shortcomings and reminded him that he was beaten like a dog by her when he was only three years old.
There was no way. Tang Bao couldn't stand the fact that Sheng Yumo came to the Tantai Mansion to ask for help and acted so arrogantly.
She can only look at others through her nostrils, and others are not allowed to look at her through their nostrils!
Murong Li's face darkened and he was about to step forward.
Seeing this, Sheng Yumo stood up first, walked to Tang Bao, and picked her up: "Fourth Prince, is there anything that cannot be said calmly?"
Sheng Yumo's indifference reminded Murong Li that he came to ask for help.
Now, not only is her love rival Sheng Yumo's son, but most importantly, Qiao Ling'er was expelled from the sect by Tan Taiyue, who is related to Sheng Yumo.
"Do you want to fight?" Tan Tai Ling didn't have the patience to listen to Murong Li's chatter.
He saw Murong Li coming here to cause trouble!
Compared to Sheng Yumo's cold face, Tan Tai Ling's face was more murderous. He and Murong Li were sworn enemies!
"The Fourth Prince?" Sheng Yumo asked again in a calm voice.
He hated it most when people in the court took advantage of him. If it weren't for Murong Li's support behind the scenes, Sheng Yumo would not have taken on that business deal.
Murong Li took a deep breath and tried to hide the coldness on his face. "I'm sorry, Senior Tan Tai, I was rude."
Tang Bao was very dissatisfied with Murong Li's flexibility.
She turned her head and leaned on Sheng Yumo's shoulder. There was no expression on her pink little face, and she just yawned lazily.
"The Fourth Prince came today to ask me about the news about A-Yue turning three, right?"
Murong Li nodded.
"Fourth Prince, we are in the business of selling information. We pay you in cash. I haven't promised you that I won't refute it later."
In Tang Bao's eyes, Sheng Yumo's words made him deserve a beating.
She is the buyer, and she will definitely beat him to a pulp!
"Master Sheng, can I suspect you of spreading false information about me?" There was no sign of any connection between the two before.
Now, Murong Li is doubting the authenticity of the news.
Sheng Yumo didn't care much: "What's the reputation of Xiaosheng Pavilion in the martial arts world? Do I need to say more?"
It's so funny. When he was in the underworld and became a father, Murong Li was still wearing open-crotch pants!
What Sheng Yumo said makes sense.
Murong Li returned his gaze to Tang Bao, wondering if he could find someone to abduct Tan Tai Yue later.
Use it to threaten Sheng Yumo and Tan Tai Ling. Then, there will be no need to worry that these two people will not listen to you.
"Since Senior Tan Tai doesn't welcome us, Ling'er, let's go back first and visit Senior Tan Tai another day."
In Murong Li's eyes, what Tang Bao said today was just to scare them, and he would never do that.
However, it was not until the next morning court session that Murong Li realized how wrong he was!
After the censor, who was in charge of the emperor's affairs, issued the order of "report when there is something to report, and leave the court when there is nothing to report", he could not wait to impeach Minister Qiao and the Fourth Prince.
As the saying goes, if a son is not well educated, it is the fault of his father. Qiao Ling'er is so unfilial, it is Minister Qiao's fault!
"From this, it can be seen that after Qiao Ling'er returned to her ancestral home, she refused to acknowledge the fact that she was raised by Tan Tai Yue! The Fourth Prince is the same. He actually treats his fiancée's adoptive mother this way. He is so cold and aloof, and unfit for such a great responsibility!"
The censor scolded Murong Li and Minister Qiao.
It's not even just one person criticizing two people, it's the entire supervisory agency criticizing them.
Murong Li had a dark face. He knew that whenever he criticized people from the Censorate, he would always have solid evidence and would never criticize people randomly. If Murong Li didn't want to swallow this insult, he had to have evidence to refute it.
Minister Qiao is even more so.
He had no feelings for the legitimate daughter he had adopted, and he only adopted her because she had an affair with the Fourth Prince.
Who would have thought that Qiao Ling'er would be labeled as unfilial?
"It's my fault for not teaching well." Minister Qiao gritted his teeth and knelt down, thinking about finding another concubine's daughter to send to another prince's backyard.
The Fourth Prince has to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. When the Fourth Prince was being chased and scolded by the Censor, the other princes naturally would not stand idly by.
Some people took advantage of every opportunity to flatter Murong Li, while others said that Murong Li was wronged and hoped that the emperor would see clearly.
For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court were arguing about this matter.
The emperor, who was sitting in the first seat, watched quietly for a long time before he said calmly, "Have you quarreled enough?"
The emperor's voice was not loud, but very majestic.
As soon as his voice came out, the entire court suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, as if a pin drop to the ground could be heard clearly.
"Old Four, do you have any explanation?"
The emperor's face showed no emotion, and others could not guess what he was thinking.
Murong Li did not dare to speculate on the emperor's intentions and could only kneel on one knee: "Your son had a conflict with Madam Tan Tai's son that day, not to attack the Divine Doctor Valley."
"Fourth brother, you said you would lead the troops to destroy the Divine Doctor Valley. Have you forgotten?"
The fifth prince mocked from the side.
His mother was in great favor with the emperor and his family was at its peak, so the Fifth Prince was naturally arrogant and would say whatever he wanted.
Of course Murong Li said this, but he didn't say it so arrogantly in public.
Can be spread.
His eyes darkened: "Old Fifth, please don't interrupt when the emperor is asking me questions."
"Strange, is Fourth Brother trying to avoid the important issues?"
Murong Li could see that the Fifth Prince was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him today.
The other people would not miss such a good opportunity.
"Ah, this can't be said?" The Fifth Prince knelt down and apologized to the Emperor: "Father, it is my fault. I shouldn't have told the truth and upset Fourth Brother."
The fifth prince was clearly apologizing, but Murong Li felt very upset when he heard it.
He tried to keep smiling: "Old Five, I don't have any."
"Fourth Brother, are you saying that you're not unhappy, or that you didn't say you'd lead troops to destroy the Divine Doctor Valley?"
Murong Li lowered the corners of his lips and tried to control his voice so that no anger would be mixed in it.
Before he could open his mouth, however, the Emperor spoke.
"Is what Lao Wu said true?"
Murong Li knelt there, silent for a moment, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Fifth Prince: "Well...why not?"

Win-win: Is it possible that people looking at you through their noses is due to the height difference?
Tang Bao (possessed by Emperor Wen): Don’t say anything!
