The next morning at the palace.

Xiao Linzi, the emperor's personal servant, ran into the queen's Deyang Palace in a panic.

Xiao Linzi's master, Eunuch De, was directing people to help the emperor wash up. When he saw Xiao Linzi running in in a panic, he scolded him, "You have forgotten the rules I taught you every day. You are so reckless that you disturbed the emperor and the queen. How many heads do you deserve to have?"

Xiao Linzi was brought up by Eunuch De, who truly loves him. Although the Emperor and the Empress are both kind people, the rules cannot be broken.

Xiao Linzi was not angry when his master scolded him. He knew that his master was really kind to him. He leaned close to his master's ear and whispered, "Master, something big has happened. The Third Master Wen is kneeling at the entrance of the hall and wants to sue Prince Ding and Prince Ding's son!"

"Who are you talking about? Are you sure you didn't see it wrongly, it's the Third Young Master Wen?" It's not that Eunuch De doesn't believe Xiao Linzi. Others may not know, but he knows very well the status of the Third Young Master Wen. Even his own emperor is a little afraid of him.

Eunuch De cursed Prince Ding and Prince Ding's son eight hundred times in his heart. They were really good at causing trouble. They even messed with Young Master Wen San. Due to health reasons, Young Master Wen San had been staying at home in recent years, and even the Empress had difficulty seeing him.

Eunuch De did not dare to delay and hurried to report to the Emperor. He did not dare to speak loudly, as the Emperor would be distressed if he disturbed the Empress's rest so early in the morning, especially since she was pregnant.

The emperor, who was originally preparing to go to court leisurely after breakfast, did not even bother to eat breakfast after listening to Eunuch De's report and walked out in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, you haven't had your breakfast yet, please walk slower!" Eunuch De followed behind the emperor, trying to get him to eat breakfast and walk slower.

"The third young master is still kneeling at the entrance of the hall. How can I have the mood to eat breakfast? If I walk slower, I will be the one kneeling in the evening." The emperor muttered softly.

The emperor now wants to beat Prince Ding to death. Why do you have to provoke him? I can't even afford to offend him. Wen Jing has been cheating him every day since he was a child, and his queen is obsessed with the third brother. The emperor now just wants to get to the palace as soon as possible.

Wen Jing arrived not too early, and the ministers were stunned when they saw him. The third son of the Wen family, who was rumored to not survive this year, not only came to the court, but also knelt in front of the hall and specifically asked to sue Prince Ding and Prince Ding's son.

Some ministers were well-informed and already knew what happened on the street yesterday, but some did not know. After everyone asked each other, all the civil and military officials knew the reason before the morning court.

When the emperor arrived, all the civil and military officials did not dare to speak loudly. In this situation, it would be better to reduce their presence.

"Your Majesty, I want to sue Prince Ding for allowing his son to rob a woman in the street and slandering me and my nephew." Wen Jing knelt upright in the center of the hall, holding the complaint in his hand. The aura around him made everyone unconsciously retreat.

The emperor quickly winked at Eunuch De. Eunuch De received the emperor's signal and hurried down to help Wen Jing up. "Third Master, the emperor has received your petition. Get up quickly. The ground is cold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wen Jing bowed deeply to the emperor.

The emperor felt that since he married the queen, Wen Jing had never greeted him like he did today. He would have to ask him in detail later so as not to let Wen Jing down.

"Prince Ding is here, and what the Third Young Master said is true." The Emperor decided to give Duke Ding a chance to refute his statement.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. My son was beaten so badly that he cannot get out of bed. Please understand, Your Majesty, my son did not hit the Third Young Master." Prince Ding only knew that his son was beaten but did not know the specific reason.

"Although Prince Ding did not beat me, he verbally abused me, my nephew, and my friends. If Lord Mu had not arrived in time, I would be the one lying on the bed now."

Wen Jing saw that Prince Ding was still trying to excuse his son, so he immediately retorted.

“Mr. Wen San, the one lying on the bed now is my son. You all ganged up on me and beat my son. I haven’t settled the score with you yet, but you come to the emperor to complain first. Isn’t that too much?” Prince Ding became even angrier when he heard Wen Jing’s words.

"Your Majesty, I also want justice for my son. Prince Ding said in public that my son was a burden. My wife and I love each other very much. I wonder what Prince Ding meant by questioning my wife and slandering my son in broad daylight?"

Wen Zhi's words were so powerful that Prince Ding was speechless. What else did this Putty say? Why did he want to provoke the master of the Wen family, a man who even dared to beat up the prince?

When Madam Wen's father and brother heard that Prince Ding not only questioned their daughter's innocence but also scolded their little grandson, they flew into a rage on the spot. If looks could kill, they would have killed Prince Ding and his damned son hundreds of times.

“Your Majesty, my son was beaten to the point where he is only breathing his last breath. He has already paid the price for his actions.” Prince Ding decided to play the victim first. He thought that the emperor would not dare to do anything to him.

"Prince Ding, what you said is a little funny. You were the one who taught the prince kung fu yourself. Although he is not as good as you, he rarely meets an opponent in the capital. You said that the prince was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed. You must be lying to us."

Wen Jing's words made everyone cast doubtful eyes on Prince Ding. Prince Ding was almost furious and bowed to the emperor. "If the emperor does not believe it, you can send the imperial physician to the palace to check."

"Your Majesty, seeing is believing, hearing is not. Why not bring Prince Ding and everyone who was involved in the incident yesterday? This way, the truth will come out naturally, and Prince Ding will not cry out for injustice everywhere, thinking that our Wen family bullied him."

Wen Jing was determined to make a big deal out of this. The emperor's eyelids twitched. Wen Jing was trying to stir up trouble, but it wasn't his business anyway, so he was happy to watch the fun.

"Xiao Linzi, you go to Prince Ding's mansion in person to report the imperial decree and bring Prince Ding's son to the palace to meet the emperor. If the son is not convenient, carry him over." The emperor said to Xiao Linzi beside him.

"I obey your command!" Xiao Linzi did not dare to delay and rushed to Prince Ding's Mansion with his men.

"Your Majesty, since my son has come here for the confrontation, should all the other participants be present?" Prince Ding felt that he had to let all the civil and military officials see that the Wen family had gone too far.

"Of course!" The emperor secretly glanced at Wen Zhi and Wen Jing. Damn this damn oppressive feeling. He was also curious about who hit Prince Ding.

"Don't worry, Prince Ding. We will not cheat. Your Majesty, please send someone to the Wen Mansion, the Mu Mansion, and the Junwang Mansion to invite my second brother, nephew, the Second Master of the Mu Family, Miss Mu Wu, and Lord Mingyue to come to the palace."

After Wen Jing finished speaking, the emperor was dumbfounded. What on earth had Prince Ding done to provoke so many people? He said that the court was so quiet today because Mousse and Wen Ye did not come. It was bound to be no good when these two people got together.

Prince Ding was dumbfounded. Wasn't it the Wen family that sued his son? What did this have to do with the Mu family and Lord Mingyue?

"Prince Ding, your good son actually dared to bully my Mingyue. Who gave you the courage? Is it because I can't lift the knife?" Mingyue's father exploded when he heard that his own daughter was involved.

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials unconsciously moved away from Prince Ding, for fear of being implicated and offending Princess Mingyue. His father, who always protected his own people, was too terrifying.
