Wen Jing's sudden voice startled the people kneeling in the hall. They originally thought that it was just Mousse's in-laws and a merchant, and the emperor would not do anything to them.
They did not expect Wen Jing to testify now. If the Wen family is also involved, the emperor will have to take it seriously and re-investigate the cause of this incident.
Wen Jing didn't care about their reactions and said to the emperor, "The young master of the Rong family was rescued by my wife. If my wife hadn't rushed back in time, he would probably have been disabled. When I came to court, the young master of the Rong family was still in the Mu Mansion and has not yet passed the critical period."
The other ministers all took a breath when they heard this. Originally, they thought it was just a minor friction, but now from Wen Jing's words they understood the seriousness of the matter.
It remains to be verified whether this was said by Mousse, but the Wen family would not go so far as to make up lies for the Mu family.
"So do you still think Miss Yueyue hit me too hard? Do you still think your child is aggrieved? If someone hit my uncle like this, I'm afraid I would hit him even harder than Miss Yueyue."
Wen Jing's questioning silenced the people who were protesting their injustice to the emperor and asking him to make a decision.
"Yueyue didn't use any force, but they started crying and shouting. They said they were angry with the Mu and Wen families for bullying Prince Ding before, so they hit Uncle Yunnan on purpose."
Yueyue casually told everyone in the hall what they had confessed yesterday. After her reminder, everyone remembered that Wen Jing and Mousse had sued Prince Ding.
"Your Majesty, but she also gave my son poison. This is naked murder." General Chen thought of the pills that Yueyue stuffed into his son's mouth, and cried even louder to the emperor.
"Nonsense, that pill is life-saving and very expensive. I gave it to your son because I was afraid he would be too weak to die and not be able to feel the pain."
Yueyue felt sad when she thought about the wasted pills, but her senior sister and third uncle had worked very hard to develop them, and it would be a waste to give them to them.
"How can you be so vicious at such a young age?" Censor Huang and King Cheng pointed at Yueyue and trembled with anger.
"Vicious? If it weren't for Yueyue, your son would have died long ago. You still have the opportunity to curse here. Take your son home quickly and stop embarrassing yourself here."
When Shu Yan heard Censor Huang calling his niece vicious, he immediately opened fire on Censor Huang.
"Shu Yan, don't go too far. I don't want to quarrel with you today. Don't make trouble here. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me and my son!"
Censor Huang now places all his hopes on the Emperor, who is enjoying watching the fun. Shu Yan is quite cute when he is not talking back at him.
"Make the decision? What decision? Make the decision to let your son do whatever he wants. You are the censor, and you report this and that all day long. Why don't you make the decision today? You are asking the emperor to make the decision when there is no reason. Do you think the emperor is as incapable of distinguishing right from wrong as you are?"
It was Yan Sheng who spoke this time. He and Shu Yan sang the same tune, making Censor Huang so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
"Censor Huang, please don't faint. If you feel that you are too old, you can resign and go home to enjoy your retirement. With such physical strength and endurance, how can you serve the emperor?"
Yan Sheng's words made Censor Huang, who was about to pretend to faint, stand up.
He was so angry that he pointed at Yan Sheng and couldn't say a word. King Cheng, who was standing next to him, saw that Censor Huang was defeated and quickly spoke up for him.
"Yan Sheng, don't go too far. The decision on whether Censor Huang stays or leaves is made by the Emperor, not you, Yan Sheng." King Cheng tried to sow discord between the Emperor and Yan Sheng.
"King Cheng, don't try to change the subject. We are talking about your son beating people for no reason." Yan Shengcai was not fooled by him.
"Yan Sheng, don't talk nonsense. The emperor hasn't made a final decision yet. Don't slander him." King Cheng would never admit that his son had beaten someone.
"Your Majesty, the young master of the Rong family was beaten for no reason. If it is not handled properly, it will discourage the merchants. Please punish him severely." Yan Sheng also hypocritically asked the emperor to make the decision.
"Your Majesty, Mousse's daughter maliciously injured someone. Please forgive me." General Chen and others also asked the emperor to make a decision.
"Your son hurt people first, and my daughter took revenge later. How could your son not have hurt people first be beaten? They asked for it. If you are not convinced, let them fight back."
The civil and military officials looked at the people who were carried into the hall with their arms in slings, and they were all stunned by Mousse's shamelessness.
"Your Majesty, my son is already badly injured, how can he fight back?" Censor Huang's son doesn't know Kung Fu, and if he fights back, what's the difference between that and getting beaten up again.
"If your son is not able to come, you can come by yourselves. I am willing to fight for my daughter. Do you dare? If not, shut up."
All the onlookers looked at Censor Huang and his companions. Of course Censor Huang didn't dare to do it, as he was a civil official. However, King Cheng and General Chen were willing to do so.
"Okay, stop making trouble. It's so disgraceful. Take care of your family affairs and don't delay the morning court." After watching the commotion, the emperor spoke up to smooth things over.
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for us!" General Chen and others pleaded with the emperor in unison.
"Your Majesty, those who cause trouble and hurt others without reason must be severely punished!" Shu Yan and Yan Sheng requested in unison.
"Your Majesty, you must give justice to my daughter!" As soon as Mousse's voice came out, the emperor felt that something was wrong.
The emperor is having a headache now. Why would these people get together as relatives and cry out for justice? It's horrible.
"Your Majesty, this is not a private matter. As far as I know, the herbs that Young Master Rong transported this time were specially cultivated by my wife. This was the first batch, and it was destroyed just like that. I will sue all those involved in this incident."
When Wen Jing spoke again, all the civil and military officials were stunned. They originally thought that Wen Jing spoke for the Mu family because of their relationship with the family, but now it seemed that he had destroyed the medicinal herbs that the lady of the family had carefully cultivated.
"Third brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? My sister-in-law and I spent so much time and effort to cultivate these medicinal herbs, but they were destroyed just like this. Your Majesty, you must make a decision for the Wen family!"
When Wen Ye heard that these people had destroyed his third brother's wife's things, he immediately went to the emperor to wail. This kind of thing was very easy for him to do, and he could do it to the fullest without the need to cooperate with Wen Jing.
"I can testify that this batch of medicinal herbs is extremely precious, and it is also the first time that Madam Wen San has cultivated them. Most importantly, these herbs are specially used to regulate the health of the Empress Dowager."
As soon as Marquis Anping said this, the entire hall suddenly became silent. No one expected that the final turn of events would be like this.
"Uncle, do you mean that the destroyed herbs were used to treat the Queen Mother's health?"
King Zhenshan was no longer calm. His mother had suffered so much over the years, and now there was hope, but it was ruined by these little brats.
King Zhenshan was very angry, and all his ministers took a few steps back. This was an even more unreasonable ruler.
