What he feared even more was his grandfather, Lou Jiangtai, a timid man who had been mocked by Su Yuan when he visited the Su residence.
Realizing that his grandson might have gotten into serious trouble, Lou Jiangtai didn't dare to plead for him.
After Qu finished recounting the events with great excitement, he told Sheng Jingyu that Qu Mingzhi had been manipulated.
Sheng Jingyu remained expressionless and said coldly, "They are truly audacious to try and scheme against me. Except for Qu Mingzhi, all the others will be imprisoned and interrogated thoroughly!"
The Duke of Wan pleaded, "Your Highness, the matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet. It is not appropriate to imprison him."
Su Wenyuan suddenly flew into a rage, slamming her hand on the table and saying, "Duke of Wan! Isn't the purpose of imprisoning them to conduct a thorough investigation? And you're going to obstruct that? What, does this matter have something to do with your Duke of Wan's mansion?"
"The prince came to show his support, only to be ambushed and attacked. It's already a great favor that no blood was spilled. Don't push your luck!" Su Wenyuan ordered sternly, leaving no room for argument: "Arrest them! If anyone tries to stop us, arrest them all!"
After saying that, he was about to leave with Sheng Jingyu, regardless of how others reacted.
Lou Hui and the others can dig as deep as they can, and if they can't dig any deeper, they can just stop here. No matter how you look at it, they won't lose out.
The key point is that there will definitely be far fewer people trying to test Sheng Jingyu in the future, making things easier for him.
Although Duke Wanguo was severely reprimanded by Su Wenyuan, he still had to come out to see them off as they were about to leave.
At the door, Sheng Jingyu suddenly whispered, "Duke of Wan, how did that wine pot on the table appear?"
Su Wenyuan continued, "And who gave you the other wine pot that was smashed at the prince?"
Sheng Jingyu said, "Who took back the one that was actually thrown out by Qu Mingzhi?"
The two of them, working in unison, revealed many details of the incident that had not been investigated.
These details point directly to the Duke of Wan Guo's mansion; there must be an inside agent within the mansion, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
The Duke of Wan was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to explain that it had nothing to do with him.
Su Wenyuan raised her hand to stop him, "Since the prince didn't say it in front of others, it means he still believes in the Duke of Wan. As for the truth, we'll know once it's found out."
After saying this, the two got into the carriage and drove away.
Duke Wanguo remained motionless for a long time, reviewing the events. He realized that something was amiss from the moment Sheng Jingyu tried to kill someone. Sheng Jingyu had deliberately escalated the situation to uncover the truth.
The matter has now escalated significantly; scheming against and plotting against the prince is a serious crime.
Once someone is locked up in jail, it's difficult to get them out.
They've done so much for Sheng Yuanhe, now we can find out even more!
The more Wan Guogong thought about it, the more alarmed he became. To make matters worse, Lou Jiangtai and the others kept nagging him, begging him to help save people.
Meanwhile, the Duchess also had something to say. She had failed to persuade Su Wenyuan, and Su Wenyuan intended to investigate thoroughly.
The baby's first birthday celebration was held, but the baby didn't even show up before it ended.
Inside the carriage, Su Wenyuan complained irritably, "I told you not to come, but you insisted. You said you were afraid I'd cause trouble, but did I cause trouble?"
Sheng Jingyu replied weakly, "No."
"You tell me how much of a commotion you made, and how you even tried to kill someone on the spot. You're really something!" Su Wenyuan rolled her eyes at him.
Sheng Jingyu said pitifully, "They hit me, filled the wine jug, it hurt so much."
"Didn't Ye Shan keep an eye on her?"
Sheng Jingyu blinked and said, "I noticed it when they started arguing over there, and I told Ye Shan not to pay attention to it."
"Shouldn't you have said that?" Su Wenyuan retorted helplessly.
He willingly went to get beaten up, and then pretended to be angry, all for the sake of those few henchmen.
Sheng Jingyu stopped pretending to be pitiful and instead asked about her situation.
"Those old ladies are just taking advantage of their age!" Sheng Jingyu had already guessed.
Su Wenyuan nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't indulge her. However, I did discover something interesting. You'll have to help me find more information about Qikong Kingdom."
Thirteen years ago, the two countries went to war, and many secrets were hidden on the front lines.
Sheng Jingyu said, "Okay, what about the Marquis of Anle's residence?"
"Tear it down and rebuild it tomorrow!" Su Wenyuan was about to begin.
After returning to her residence, Su Wenyuan remembered Qu Mingzhi and said she wanted to pick out some things to send to the Qu residence.
It was both a consolation and a warning.
Although Qu Mingzhi couldn't understand what was going on, his father would definitely realize that Sheng Jingyu didn't intend to kill him, but just wanted to use the pretext of killing him to lure people here.
I don't know about the others, but as long as Lord Qu comes, he will definitely demand a thorough investigation.
If someone wants to investigate, Su Wenyuan can cooperate and guide him to tell the truth.
Today's events will also have some impact on the situation between North Korea and China, raising the issue of which side to take.
Lord Qu is an outsider; he neither helps Sheng Jingyu nor has he ever helped Sheng Yuanhe.
As a result, his son was taken advantage of and nearly lost his life.
I thought that with the crown prince deposed and the Shengyuan Unity Party suffering a major setback, they would quiet down for a while. I didn't expect them to start stirring up trouble again. I wonder if there will be a next time.
When the emperor heard about this, he was furious.
If Sheng Jingyu really killed Qu Mingzhi, it would be considered that Sheng Jingyu acted impulsively and made a mountain out of a molehill.
Sheng Jingyu has only imprisoned a few people, and they are just a few people with ulterior motives.
The Emperor had no reason to criticize him; what he did was not excessive at all.
The people who were arrested had all worked for Sheng Yuanhe before.
"What exactly is he trying to do? Is he going to get rid of all the people who are on good terms with Sheng Yuanhe?" the Emperor asked angrily.
Even if he wanted to release Sheng Yuanhe in the future, it would be too late; he would have no one to support him anymore.
But this was just the beginning. As time went on, there really was no place for Sheng Yuanhe.
But who else besides Sheng Yuanhe could be crown prince? Those unremarkable princes?
The Emperor is increasingly convinced that Sheng Jingyu is not blind, but the people he sent out are useless; they still can't find out anything.
The emperor paced back and forth anxiously, having suffered from insomnia for several days.
He couldn't wait any longer and was determined to confirm it as soon as possible, no matter what method he used.
He wasn't the only one with this idea.
That evening, Su Wenyuan was also discussing this matter with Sheng Jingyu, and they needed to find an opportunity as soon as possible to explain that Sheng Jingyu's eyes had been cured.
The purpose of feigning blindness was first to save his own life, and then to take advantage of the situation to bring down the Empress or the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince is no longer capable, continuing to feign blindness will lead to trouble.
Meng Qi asked, "Aren't there any precedents of waking up with perfectly clear eyes?"
"If it were true, would you believe it?" Su Wenyuan asked.
Meng Qi thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
Su Wenyuan continued, "We need to find a way to make people who don't know the truth believe it, such as ordinary people. As for those who don't believe it to begin with, their attitude doesn't matter. If everyone believes it, they will have no choice but to believe it, understand?"
It took Meng Qi a while to process what was happening, and he realized that Su Wenyuan was reciting a tongue twister.
Simply put, the goal is to fool the people and make them believe that Sheng Jingyu is truly blind.
If he can't fool the emperor, even if Sheng Jingyu insists he didn't pretend, it's still deceiving the emperor. But if everyone believes him, it won't matter if the emperor doesn't believe him.
