puff!
Several people spat out the wine in their mouths.
The prince is really good at kicking someone when they are down.
This can all be traced back to Zhao Jingzhou.
Zhao Jingzhou must also be dismissed from his post and imprisoned.
Fire him from his post and go to Zhenbeiguan.
Didn’t you see that the emperor endured being cuckolded in order to let Zhao Jingzhou guard Zhenbei Pass?
But the prince said this.
Prince Yu became anxious.
He also quickly jumped out and said, "Royal brother, what you said is simply ridiculous. What does Miss Zhao Wu's fault have to do with the Marquis of Zhenbei? How can you drag it onto the Marquis of Zhenbei? Shouldn't we first find out why he hit someone?"
Although Prince Yu also wanted to win over Zhao Lin, now that the matter concerned Zhao Jingzhou, he had to give up Zhao Lin for the time being.
"Yes, why did Miss Zhao Wu hit someone?"
Only then did everyone turn their attention to Zhao Mingya.
Zhao Mingya was slapped more than a dozen times by Zhao Lin, leaving her dizzy, bleeding from her mouth, and with disheveled hair. She still hadn't recovered and looked like she had just been abused.
"What else could it be? We saw that Your Majesty's birthday banquet wasn't lively enough, so we wanted to liven up the atmosphere." Someone said sarcastically.
"After all, it's the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, so there must be something going on." Someone agreed.
"I think she is a bad person. Mrs. Zhao is just pregnant, and she wants to harm the mother and child." Others took the opportunity to instigate.
If you don't kick someone when they're down, when will you?
Han Yuehua, Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyu hurried over and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I was impulsive and hit Miss Fu. Please forgive her this time for my ignorance."
Emperor Chengping looked down at Han Yuehua and her daughter.
His eyes were full of amusement.
The elder sister-in-law beat her younger sister-in-law!
The parents-in-law don’t care about their daughter-in-law!
It seems that the Zhenbei Marquis and his wife really have no love for Zhao Lin at all.
No wonder Zhao Lin tortured Zhao Chenhan to death.
Emperor Chengping didn't say anything for a while, and Han Yuehua and her daughter were both worried.
Zhao Jingzhou couldn't help but say, "I will punish her severely when I return. Your Majesty, please forgive me this time."
Emperor Chengping finally spoke: "Miss Zhao Wu, why did you hit Madam Zhao?"
Zhao Mingya finally recovered. She didn't care about her resentment towards Zhao Lin. She hurriedly climbed up and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I was angry for a moment and couldn't hold it back. I beg Your Majesty to be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
Emperor Chengping smiled and said kindly, "First, tell me why you couldn't help yourself."
Emperor Chengping's appearance made many people feel a little uneasy.
“Sure enough, the Emperor still favors Zhao Jingzhou more.
"Zhao Jingzhou has saved the emperor and has been stationed at Zhenbei Pass for decades. How can his relationship with the emperor be compared to Zhao Lin's flattery?"
"This time, Madam Zhao will be beaten for nothing."
The ministers discussed the matter privately.
Zhao Mingya vaguely thought so too, and relaxed, saying, "Miss Fu is insulting my brother."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Jingzhou's face changed immediately.
The other ministers were also stunned.
This is really a case of bringing up something that is not related to the topic.
Why don't you just find a reason? Do you have to tell the truth?
This isn't about thinking the emperor's birthday banquet isn't lively enough, this is about thinking it's too lively, right?
Sure enough, Emperor Chengping's face darkened.
Zhao Jingzhou glared at Zhao Mingya and said quickly, "For such a trivial matter, let me take it back and deal with it. Don't disturb His Majesty's interest."
"Your Majesty's interest has been disturbed," Zhao Lin said bluntly. "The Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion is truly remarkable. No wonder Miss Zhao Wu doesn't take my wife seriously."
Before Zhao Mingya understood what she had done wrong, she heard Emperor Cheng Ping coldly ask, "How did she insult your brother?"
Zhao Mingya said: "She..."
"Shut up, you evil creature!"
Zhao Jingzhou shouted loudly, frightening Zhao Mingya so much that she trembled and dared not say a word.
Han Yuehua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am ignorant and I beg your Majesty to forgive me."
"Forgive? Of course I forgive you. But whether or not my beloved Zhao wants to forgive me is not something I can control." Emperor Chengping said coldly.
Zhao Lin said, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhao Wu assaulted my wife innocently. If she hadn't been stopped, my wife would have been injured, and the unborn child might have been harmed. Miss Zhao Wu is so vicious, I cannot let her go. Your Majesty, please help me."
Fu Chengwang followed up, "My daughter was originally at home to take care of her pregnancy, but it was Your Majesty's sixtieth birthday and I wanted to come and share in the joy, but I didn't expect to run into someone like this. Your Majesty, please make the decision for my daughter."
Li Xingye shouted, "Miss Zhao Wu actually attacked the wife of a high-ranking official in public. She deserves severe punishment."
"He really deserves to be punished!"
"If there's no punishment, wouldn't anyone dare to do this?"
"That's too much. This is the emperor's birthday banquet."
"Nothing at all."
Many ministers criticized it.
What Zhao Mingya did was really controversial.
Even Zhao Jingzhou had nothing to say when he wanted to explain.
But she is my daughter after all, and if I’m not careful, it might even implicate me.
Zhao Jingzhou could only say, "You are all right, my lords. It is because I was away from home for so long that I failed to provide adequate guidance to my daughter, which is why she made such a mistake. However, I beg Your Majesty to consider her young age and forgive her this time, giving her a lighter punishment."
Zhao Lin asked, "How does the Marquis of Zhenbei want to punish you?"
Zhao Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Although she was wrong, she didn't hit your wife. Instead, she was hit by you, so she was punished. How about letting me take her back and let her kneel in the ancestral hall for a month and not go out?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
This Zhao Jingzhou is too domineering, or he is deliberately provoking Zhao Lin.
At least apologize?
