Chapter 250: Frame-up Failed
Su Yue's progress here was relatively smooth, but over there in Dongyou Imperial City there were some disturbances.
Because Su Xin hired someone to spread the news that Su Yue had dissected Aunt Liu alive, many people had mixed opinions about this Princess Jiaping.
However, as if someone was deliberately instigating this, Su Yue's reputation became worse and worse.
Someone even submitted a letter to the Imperial Palace reporting the rumor that Su Yue had dissected his concubine alive, requesting the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation. After all, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and Su Yue is just a princess.
In the Golden Palace, the emperor was looking at the memorials without showing any other expression.
"Prime Minister Su, do you have anything to say about the rumors about your daughter?" After reading the memorial, the emperor did not show any particular expression, but asked Prime Minister Su directly.
"In reply to your Majesty, the situation was urgent at the time, and the midwife said that neither the adult nor the child could be saved. It was you who begged your daughter to find a way to save at least one of them, and it was you who indicated to me that I could do so. I just listened to you."
When Prime Minister Su heard the emperor's question, he just knelt on the ground and answered loudly. It sounded like he wanted to take all the blame on himself.
"You..." The emperor was stunned when he heard Prime Minister Su's words. When did Su Yan change his personality?
According to the previous Su Yan, he would definitely try to distance himself from the fault. This is the first time that Su Yan has taken the blame on himself.
Others who had worked with Prime Minister Su for a long time looked at Su Yan kneeling on the ground with eyes full of disbelief.
Did the prime minister finally find his conscience?
No, when did Prime Minister Su ever have a conscience?
At this time, Prime Minister Su, who was kneeling on the ground, had a wry smile on his face. He had experienced a coldness that the Su Mansion had never experienced before, and he had become more open-minded about many things.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, Su Yue performed a live dissection on a human being, this..." The minister who wrote the memorial was dissatisfied when he saw that Prime Minister Su actually took the initiative to protect his own daughter, and he wanted to say something.
"Since it is to save the life of the baby in your belly, Su Yue did nothing wrong. It is better than losing two lives. Okay, everyone, leave now."
The emperor directly interrupted the minister and had no intention of blaming the prime minister. Instead, he asked Eunuch Zhu to announce the adjournment of the court.
All the ministers present were very smart. The emperor naturally favored Su Yue, and no one said anything more.
After all, if Su Yue had not taken action, two lives would have been lost. Now that he has saved one, Su Yue has done nothing wrong emotionally and logically.
Su Xin in the cold palace is now combing her hair in front of a worn bronze mirror. Her nails, which have not been taken care of for a long time, have grown a lot longer, and her pale and somewhat scary fingers are holding a worn wooden comb.
But she doesn't care about all this now. She is in such a good mood that she even starts humming a little tune intentionally or unintentionally.
She specially spent a lot of money to bribe a court official, and today she reported to the Golden Palace the fact that Su Yue dissected Aunt Liu alive. She didn't believe that Su Yue could escape this.
"Empress~" A slightly sharp voice sounded. Su happily put down the wooden comb, picked up her skirt and ran towards the direction where the voice came from.
"How did the emperor punish Su Yue? Was he thrown directly into the Heavenly Prison?" Su Xin looked at the young eunuch Zheng Gonggong whom she bribed, her eyes full of joy.
Concubine Hui, who was not far away, looked at Su Xin, with a calculating look in her eyes.
"In reply to your Majesty, the Emperor said that it was a case of two lives lost, and Su Yue did nothing wrong in saving one life. He even posted an imperial edict to announce it to the world."
Eunuch Zheng looked hesitant, but he still said it. After all, he had to deliver the message when he took money from someone.
"What? Just like that? The emperor doesn't blame me?" Su Xin's face was full of disbelief. She even seemed unable to bear the blow of the news and took several steps back before she could stand firm.
"To reply to your Majesty, the news from over there is indeed like this."
Eunuch Zheng lowered his head. Although he didn't know how Princess Su Yue had offended this lady, looking at the lady's expression, it seemed as if the two of them had an irreconcilable hatred.
"Su Yue, are you really so lucky?"
Su Xin's face became even paler at this time, and her exposed skin didn't even have a trace of blood. Obviously, this news crushed the hope that had just sprouted in her.
"It's not that Su Yue is lucky, it's that you are stupid." At this time, Concubine Hui walked out from the inner room leisurely, with disdain in her eyes.
With Concubine Yi's intelligence, she was actually able to frame her. It was really ridiculous.
"What does it have to do with you? You are smart, but you are also in the cold palace." Su Xin saw Concubine Hui looking at her with contempt, and she retorted unhappily.
"Empress Hui, the second prince is here." Just as Concubine Hui was about to say something, a messenger interrupted her.
