Chapter 348 The Real Purpose
Yu Study
Eunuch Zhang had already been dragged away and beaten to death.
Emperor Yongping was holding his confession and was having a headache.
It seems that the Ma family can no longer be kept.
Unfortunately, Princess Ning did not get involved in Matthew's affairs, otherwise...
Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. I wonder how many of the dozen or so grandchildren of Prince Ning can be brought back?
"Lin Fu, have someone summon the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Justice to see me."
Lin Fu agreed and went out to make the arrangements. After everything was done he came back to serve.
He had just listened to the whole thing and was terrified.
The eldest grandson is really like his grandfather, treating human life as worthless.
At such a young age, he dared to capture a commoner's child and have him purified by Eunuch Zhang.
Several people have died at his hands.
But even if these children survive after being purified, they will have no way to survive if they return home.
Alas, if all the royal grandchildren in Prince Ning's Palace were raised like this, it would be a great disaster for Sheng Anguo.
"Lin Fu, go and bring Shu'er to me."
Emperor Yongping put aside Eunuch Zhang's confession and pinched his brows, as if there was a breath of air stuck in his heart that he couldn't let go or get out.
None of the sons and grandsons he had personally taught lived up to their expectations. He just couldn't understand why.
"Grandpa, hug me."
Chu Qinshu was quickly picked up by Lin Fu, and as soon as she saw Emperor Yongping, she threw herself into his arms.
Alas, although she entered the space and watched the entire process of Emperor Yongping interrogating Eunuch Zhang.
But she was quite satisfied with Emperor Yongping's reaction and decision.
He was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, and as his granddaughter, it was of course her responsibility to comfort him.
"Hey, Shu'er, be good."
When Emperor Yongping took Chu Qinshu, the feeling of depression in his heart immediately disappeared.
He also taught his grandson and Shuer personally.
Shu'er is so well-behaved, is it because his teaching method is appropriate?
"Grandpa, eat."
Chu Qinshu waved her hand, and apples, bananas, durian and other kinds of Emperor Yongping's favorite fruits instantly filled the table.
"Oh, okay, okay, these are enough. Shu'er should save some for yourself later."
At this moment, Emperor Yongping felt particularly warm in his heart, and the other half of the suffocating feeling disappeared.
His granddaughter could see that he was in a bad mood. Only when he was in a bad mood would his granddaughter bring him so many fruits.
Alas, no matter how many grandsons you have, none of them are as sensible as this granddaughter.
"Grandpa, hello."
Seeing that Emperor Yongping neither said anything nor took any action, Chu Qinshu hurriedly pointed to several fruits that she could eat and at the same time pointed to her mouth.
What I mean is that she wants to eat together.
If she didn't do this, who knows how long Emperor Yongping would be sad?
She knows all too well the harm that emotions can do to the body.
Some injuries are irreversible, and even spiritual spring water can't help.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa will feed Shu'er now."
As expected, Emperor Yongping's attention was diverted, and he hurriedly picked out the fruits that Chu Qinshu could eat and asked Lin Fu to wash them.
Lin Fu also took the rest down and put them away.
After the grandfather and grandson finished their fruit, they moved around on the carpet for a while before Yu Jinming and Su Pengxin came to Yu's study.
"Grandpa, Shu'er, go to sleep."
Chu Qinshu knew what Emperor Yongping was going to say, so she pointed at the rocking bed.
Chu Qinshu has never needed anyone to coax her to sleep since she was born. As long as she feels sleepy, she can fall asleep by lying on the small rocking bed.
Of course, if she needs to sleep when she can't sleep, it's the same if she closes her eyes and goes into space.
"Okay, Shu'er, go to sleep if you're tired."
Emperor Yongping put her on the rocking bed, covered her with a quilt, and only when he saw that she had closed her eyes obediently did he return to sit behind the desk.
Seeing that Chu Qinshu had just fallen asleep, Yu Jinming and Su Pengxin did not dare to speak loudly. After greeting each other in low voices, they waited for Emperor Yongping to speak.
"Does Matthew have any new confession?"
As soon as Emperor Yongping opened his mouth, Yu Jinming was delighted. Is the emperor finally willing to take action against Prince Ning?
Su Pengxin's reaction was similar to his, and his thoughts were the same.
"It has not been reviewed for nearly a month. I will review it now."
Yu Jinming did not ask what kind of confession Emperor Yongping wanted, but he knew that since Emperor Yongping asked him and his father-in-law to come together, he must have something to confess to them.
"Does the matter in Yuzhou have anything to do with Princess Ning?"
Emperor Yongping did not respond to Yu Jinming's words, but asked this question instead.
This question confused both Yu Jinming and Su Pengxin.
When Matthew Li was first arrested, he emptied out Prince Ning's mansion.
If it weren't for the people who were later captured in Prince Ning's private residence, Matthew Li would probably have refused to betray Prince Ning.
But it is precisely because of this that the emperor has been reluctant to convict the Ma family.
Today's question, could it be that the Emperor wants Princess Ning to take the blame for Prince Ning's crime?
Yu Jinming and Su Pengxin looked at each other calmly, and then Yu Jinming said, "Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty. I will go to the trial now."
"I, your Excellency, will go with you and will certainly find out what the horse thief has deliberately concealed."
Su Pengxin was unable to determine the true purpose of Emperor Yongping for a moment, but he was a minister and Emperor Yongping was the monarch, so he just had to obey and do his job.
As for the result, they will just have to find another way to fight for it.
"Well, go ahead then."
Emperor Yongping raised his hand, and Yu Jinming and the others hurriedly took their leave.
At nightfall, the Minister of War Zhao Zhixiong received a secret letter.
After reading the secret letter, he summoned two of his followers, Yu Bai and Lu Yuan, to his study.
"Gentlemen, take a look at this."
Zhao Zhixiong handed the secret letter to Yu Bai, who read it and handed it to Lu Yuan.
After reading it, both of them thought about it.
"What do you two gentlemen think?"
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Zhao Zhixiong had to ask.
He finally got the chance to avenge his poor daughter.
"This message comes from..."
Yu Bai was somewhat skeptical about the contents of the secret letter.
News from the Dali Temple is not so easy to spread outside.
And it's even more difficult if it involves the case.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu. I have someone there, so the news is real."
In order to get Ma Xiu to work earlier, Zhao Zhixiong went through untold hardships and finally bribed a jailer from the Dali Temple's Tianlao.
If he didn't still have a conscience and didn't want to be involved with Yu Jinming, he would have asked the jailer to poison Matthew Li long ago.
But fortunately, the wait was not in vain.
"In this case, I think you can go to the palace to see the emperor."
Yu Bai glanced at Lu Yuan, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he spoke out his thoughts anyway.
If you have different opinions, it’s the same if you add more.
"Okay, then I will listen to you, sir."
Zhao Zhixiong is a calm person, but he knows his shortcomings.
So we act very cautiously.
But what he didn't know was that Chu Chengyi had already told Yu Jinming about his daughter Zhao Tian.
Of course, this is also the bargaining chip for taking down Prince Ning's Mansion.
Yu Jinming would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Well, my Lord, please remember that you must not implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Lu Yuan finally spoke.
They knew everything about Zhao Tian's affairs from beginning to end.
Although the marriage was arranged by the Emperor, it was also intentional on the part of the Zhao family.
But no one expected it to end like that.
Since the person is gone and I can no longer use marriage to control the Eastern Palace, I must not offend the Eastern Palace.
