Chapter 217 Don’t Be Demanding
"Oh, ah."
[Daddy, don't worry. Shu'er will let you see the video of Prince Ning now.]
Without asking Xiao Hulu to edit the video in advance, I could only watch it using the consciousness projection symbol. Fortunately, Xiao Hulu was already accustomed to providing consciousness projection symbols.
At Prince Ning's mansion, Prince Ning just saw Xiao Liangzi who came to inform him to enter the palace.
"Eunuch Liang, I wonder what the emperor wants to hear from me about?"
Prince Ning approached Xiao Liangzi naively, wanting to find out the news.
But who is Xiao Liangzi? He is Lin Fu’s most proud disciple, so he can see King Ning’s intentions.
Others might be fooled by Prince Ning's appearance, but not Xiao Liangzi. Before he came to be summoned, he heard the emperor scolding Prince Ning with his own ears.
Although I don’t know why the emperor scolded Prince Ning, being scolded is never a good thing.
Therefore, he would never reveal anything about Yu's study.
"Prince Ning, you are joking. I am just an errand boy. How can I know things that I shouldn't know?"
Xiao Liangzi's smile was even more foolish than Prince Ning's, and his words were enough to stop Prince Ning from asking any more questions.
What is something I shouldn't know?
What happened last night didn't happen, and the scapegoat had already been arranged, so there's no way they can trace it back to him, right?
Unless those two eunuchs don't want their families to live.
Matthew Li is still on duty safely, maybe Chu Chengyi hasn't asked anything?
Prince Ning thought for a moment and said to Xiao Liangzi, "Eunuch Liang is right. I will pack up and follow you into the palace. Please wait for a moment."
Prince Ning was very warm and polite to Xiao Liangzi, who was a popular figure in front of Lin Fu.
When Xiao Liangzi heard what he said, she quickly responded with a smile, then walked to the door of the warm pavilion and stood there waiting for him.
The distance from Prince Ning's Mansion to the Imperial Palace was not far, and a carriage could get there in a quarter of an hour. However, from the palace gate to Yu's study, Prince Ning had to walk, which would take at least two quarters of an hour.
For a total of three quarters of an hour, Chu Qinshu would not stare at Prince Ning. She asked Xiao Hulu to turn the video to Emperor Yongping.
Emperor Yongping was holding a memorial in his hand, but the screen was filled with bullet points.
Whatever he was thinking about would be displayed on the screen, filling the entire screen in a chaotic and disorganized manner.
"Zihuan must be angry with me."
"I wonder if Shu'er knows about this? If she does, she'll probably be angry with me for not avenging her."
'Perhaps, Wen Yun did not do this? It must be that old man Ma Xiuli who can't bear to see Zihuan do well.'
"Could it be that Matthew knew that I was investigating him, so he took action against my granddaughter?"
'However, fortunately, no serious mistakes were made.'
"What should I do if it was really Wen Yun who did it?"
"If he admits his fault, he should be fined 100 taels of gold as compensation to Shu'er. Shu'er loves this shiny gold the most."
'What if he doesn't admit it? No, Wen Yun is a very honest person. If he really did it, he would definitely admit it.'
"Wen Yun is already thirty-five, it's time for him to go to his fiefdom."
"But he has many children. If he goes to his fiefdom, there will be no one to protect him. I wonder if he can live a stable life?"
"Alas, Zihuan and Shu'er have been wronged. Let's take them to the private warehouse later."
......
Wen Yun is the nickname of Prince Ning.
Emperor Yongping gave him this nickname with the intention of hoping that he would be gentle and humble and get along peacefully with his brothers.
But the fact is that he did appear to be gentle and humble.
But no matter what the truth was, although Emperor Yongping was unwilling to admit it, he had to say that this little word was incompatible with his true character.
From the moment the video opened, Emperor Yongping's thoughts were in a mess for a full quarter of an hour, which shows how long he was really troubled.
After Chu Qinshu read it, she felt nothing.
It's not that she has no desires, but she feels that she shouldn't be too demanding of Emperor Yongping.
Emperor Yongping was an emperor, a father, and a grandfather.
He is not a good balancer and cannot take care of everyone's feelings.
No matter who is in his position, they will get tangled up.
Because he made trouble during the sacrifice, Prince Ning suffered a disastrous fate and the royal family also lost face.
But if we don't make a fuss, it becomes a family matter, and home is a place for affection.
When it comes to love, someone has to give in and suffer injustice.
Today, the East Palace has made a concession.
From the entanglement of Emperor Yongping in the barrage, it can be seen that he will remember Donggong's kindness and compensate Donggong, and that is enough.
As for King Ning, the time has not come yet.
Letting him go today was just the last straw that Chu Chengyi prepared to break the camel's back in preparation for the overthrow of Prince Ning's Mansion in the future.
Because Chu Chengyi knew that Prince Ning would never admit to this.
As long as he denies it, Chu Chengyi will have a way to use this incident to make him suffer the consequences.
The barrage in the video stopped, and Emperor Yongping had already begun to review memorials without distraction.
Chu Qinshu asked Xiao Hulu to switch the video to Prince Ning.
Prince Ning sat in the carriage, silent all the way, but he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Chu Qinshu stared at the bullet screen intently, fearing that Prince Ning would have any bad intentions towards Emperor Yongping.
Although in the original book, King Ning did not go this far.
But hasn’t it already deviated from the original plot?
It never goes wrong to take precautions in advance.
"Those who disrupted the sacrifice should be beheaded according to the law. Unfortunately, the plan failed. Ma Xiuli was lucky..."
"However, if this matter has not been accomplished, why not put the 200,000 taels of tax that Jingzhao Prefecture did not pay on his head? He and Zhou Hongjing must protect one of them."
......
Chu Qinshu did not miss a single barrage of comments. Just as she expected, not a single one admitted to disrupting the sacrifice.
Of course, none of them were about harming Emperor Yongping.
"Are you blind? You looked at the carriage and yet you still rushed forward?"
An angry shout from outside the carriage interrupted Prince Ning's thoughts, and the barrage in the video disappeared.
"What happened?"
King Ning asked the groom.
"To answer your question, someone rushed out of the alley and almost hit the carriage."
The coachman was startled by the man who suddenly rushed out of the alley. Although he did not hit him, the man lay motionless in front of the carriage.
"Oh, since you're still a little short, then you didn't hit it. You don't have to panic, just keep driving."
Upon hearing this, Prince Ning frowned slightly. Although his carriage was low-key, he knew many people in the capital.
It would be bad for the reputation of the groom if he made trouble for the common people.
"Your Highness, we didn't hit him, but he has fainted in front of the carriage. Should we go around him or..."
The coachman actually wanted to bypass it, after all, his master had to go to the palace to meet the emperor and could not delay.
But his master has always been approachable, gentle and humble in front of the people. Wouldn't it damage his reputation to abandon the unconscious citizen?
"Since someone has fainted, they should be sent to a hospital first. Check to see if there is a hospital nearby."
As Prince Ning raised the curtain, he saw a dusty man lying on the ground in front of the carriage, only a few feet away from the horses.
"Hey, I'll go right away."
The coachman was about to dismount and go to find a clinic, but was stopped by Xiao Liangzi.
"We have already sent someone to our house. Please sit in the carriage and take care of it. Don't scare the horses again."
Xiao Liangzi came out of the palace to announce the summons, and he also came in a special carriage. He followed behind Prince Ning's carriage all the way.
When Prince Ning's carriage stopped, he quickly got off to see what was going on.
When he saw someone fainted, he quickly assigned the eunuch beside him to go to the nearby clinic to ask for a doctor.
