Half a minute later, Su Yuan explained the whole story in a disjointed manner.
It turned out that they were seen by Princess Yuehua and her daughter, Princess Wen'an, when they went into the city to buy things that day.
According to Su Yuan, Lady Wen'an was probably attracted by her beauty and wanted Su Yuan's future husband to abandon her and marry her instead.
Su Yuan's future husband is an orphan adopted by the Su family. He has deep feelings for Su Yuan and is unwilling to marry Princess Wen'an.
They thought the matter was over, but Princess Yuehua arrested Su Yuan's future husband in public on Su Yuan's wedding day on the charge of frivolity.
Su Yuan went to the government office to seek help from the county magistrate, but the county magistrate said that Su Yuan's future husband had flirted with Princess Wen'an in public and many people had seen it.
If Princess Yuehua refuses to let him go for this reason, there is nothing he can do.
But the so-called crime of indifference was nothing more than that day when Lady Wen'an wanted to slap Su Yuan, and Su Yuan's future husband grabbed Lady Wen'an's hand to stop her.
Su Yuan had no choice but to kneel in front of the princess's mansion every day and beg Princess Yuehua to release the people.
Half a month later, a maid in the princess's mansion felt sorry for Su Yuan and secretly told her that her husband was beaten and died of his injuries because he refused to obey.
After learning about this, Su Yuan went to the government office to sue Princess Yuehua for taking human life lightly. The magistrate of Yizhou County went to the princess's mansion to ask for the person, but Princess Yuehua said that the person had already escaped.
That night, the Su family was greeted by men in black. Except for Su Yuan and his sister, the other five members of the family of seven were killed.
The brother and sister fled all the way to the capital, and Princess Yuehua's men chased them all the way.
Su Yuan's brother died on the road, and only Su Yuan escaped death several times and made it to the capital.
The reason why she wanted Jiang Yueyang to try the case was because she had heard about Jiang Yueyang's deeds in Luoyang and believed that Jiang Yueyang could help her.
After Su Yuan finished explaining the whole story, she forced herself to get up, knelt down and kowtowed, pleading earnestly, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
"I will send someone to Yizhou to investigate what you said."
Although he knew that what Su Yuan said was mostly true, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
"As for you." Emperor Yuan glanced at the injuries on her body, "Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, temporarily detain you in the Dali Temple prison."
Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. [Princess Wen'an is a county princess. Although she cannot marry whomever she wants, it is not difficult for her to have a handsome man by her side.
There is more than one good-looking man in the world, Su Yuan's future husband. Why would you forcefully seize a commoner who would rather die than obey you? Is there anything extraordinary about that man? 】
[No.] The system sneered, [According to multiple data, most humans are cheap.]
Emperor Yuan & civil and military officials: "..."
Jiang Yueyang: […What do you want to express? ]
[What you can’t get will always cause you to be in turmoil…]
Hearing the system's words, Jiang Yueyang was speechless, [Uh... OK, what you can't get is always the best. ]
As her voice fell, two imperial guards came in and carried Su Yuan out.
At this time, the system spoke again: [However, Su Yuan's information is wrong. ]
[Hmm?] Jiang Yueyang raised an eyebrow, [What information is wrong?]
When Emperor Yuan heard what the system said, he subconsciously felt that there would be a turning point in Princess Yuehua's situation.
Although he would handle the matter impartially, she was his sister after all, so he felt a little bit reluctant.
Su Yuan, who had not yet been carried out of the hall, suddenly raised her head. How could it be? Every word she said was true.
The system said: [On the surface, it was County Lady Wen'an who fell in love with Su Yuan's future husband, but in fact, it was Princess Yuehua who fell in love with him. County Lady Wen'an was just a tool to help Princess Yuehua cover up this matter.]
All the civil and military officials widened their eyes in shock, and Emperor Yuan also looked incredulous.
Princess Yuehua lost her husband at a young age. Both the late emperor and Emperor Yuan advised her to remarry, but she did not.
In response, the people praised her for her loyalty.
Jiang Yueyang covered her mouth in shock, [Little melon, are you saying that the person who fell in love with my husband was Princess Yuehua, and Princess Wen'an was just a cover? ]
【Yes. 】
Emperor Yuan thought things would take a turn for the better, but unexpectedly they became even more serious.
It is understandable that someone forcibly robs a man for his daughter, as he loves his daughter so much. But it is too absurd to forcibly rob a man for oneself.
A princess like her actually did something that was disgraceful and inappropriate to the royal family!
System: [Princess Yuehua has always had lovers, and all of them obey her and allow her to love them.
Even if someone is unwilling to be her slave at first, they will eventually succumb to her.
Only Su Yuan, the future husband, refused to obey, even if Princess Yuehua put a knife on his neck, even if Princess Yuehua said that they, mother and daughter, would serve him together, he refused to obey! 】
With a loud bang, Emperor Yuan felt like his head was about to explode!
All the civil and military officials were stunned and suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Mother and daughter share one husband?
Princess Yuehua is crazy!
Prince Yan and his brothers also thought that their aunt must be crazy. As the eldest princess, what man could she not want?
Su Yuan lay back down with peace of mind, but she didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like that.
Jiang Yueyang was shocked. [Is there something Princess Yuehua can't figure out? Why is she courting death like this?]
[It's not that she can't figure it out, but she wants to be like the emperor, with thousands of courtiers under his skirt. How can having only one man be enough? ]
[…I was too conservative.]
The system agreed: [That’s right! Host, you gave up the entire forest for a tree. ]
Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes, [What do you mean by a whole forest? Isn't it just a tree for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Besides, I can sense that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me that much.]
The prince lowered his eyes. Don’t you like it that much?
Maybe.
The system asked suspiciously: [Host, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? ]
[Hmm...you mean there's someone who likes me? Who?]
Prince Yan was shocked, fearing that the system would expose it to him.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Yuan hurriedly coughed and said, "Jiang Yueyang, what do you think of the injustice stated by Su?"
Jiang Yueyang responded quickly, "This is a matter concerning Her Royal Highness Princess Yuehua, so I dare not speak rashly."
"I forgive you."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang said without thinking: "I think what Su Yuan said is true. After all, falsely accusing the royal family is a serious crime that will implicate all nine generations of the family!
If there is no deep hatred, few people are willing to risk their lives to file a lawsuit against the emperor."
"The Su family wants you to try this case. Are you willing?"
"Your Majesty is very observant. There is no need for me to show off my abilities. I am not good at judging cases either." Jiang Yueyang bowed and spoke earnestly.
"So you don't want to?"
Jiang Yueyang thought about it, fearing that Emperor Yuan might be moved by sympathy and show partiality, so he gritted his teeth and replied, "I am willing to share your worries."
Emperor Yuan chuckled, "Are you afraid that I will be partial to you?"
"I dare not."
"Don't worry, I will handle this case impartially." He then looked at Qin Shi, "Qin Shaoqing, you will immediately take people to Yizhou to investigate the case."
"I obey the order."
"Adjourn the court!" Emperor Yuan announced the adjournment of the court himself.
Civil and military officials all bid farewell to Emperor Yuan in unison.
