"Your Majesty."
The two men saluted, and the emperor raised his hand. "Master Wang Guo, I have two lawsuits here. One is from Marquis Xuanping suing Princess Xuanyang and his son, and the other is from your granddaughter suing Marquis Xuanping's son, He Chengfeng, for attempting to defile and abuse her. What are your thoughts?"
Before Wang Changwen could say anything, Wang Wanqing's father, Wang Zhihan, spoke first: "Why would Wanqing sue Chengfeng?"
He looked at the queen beside him and said, "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
The queen first glanced at the emperor, and seeing that he did not show any reaction, she knew that he had tacitly agreed, and then she told them what had happened.
Upon hearing that his daughter was nearly raped and had her leg injured, Wang Zhihan's first reaction was disbelief. He then shook his head in denial, "This must be a mistake. Chengfeng is a handsome and well-mannered child. Although he's young and playful, he would never do anything reckless. There must be something wrong."
After saying that, he hurriedly added, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you may not know that Wanqing has never wanted to marry Chengfeng. She always finds fault with him. Tonight, Chengfeng invited her to go out with him for the Lantern Festival, but she was very reluctant. I guess she's throwing a tantrum again."
The Queen sneered, "Throwing a tantrum? You haven't even figured out what's going on, how can you be sure she's throwing a tantrum?"
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows. It was strange that the queen sister-in-law also had a temper.
Marquis Xuanping and Wang Changwen exchanged a glance, and Wang Changwen stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding here? I wonder where Wanqing is."
The Queen replied, "Wanqing is injured, and the imperial physician is treating her."
Wang Changwen frowned. "I wonder where the injury is? Is it serious?"
As he spoke, he glanced at He Chengfeng on the stretcher, and his eyes indicated: Is it that serious?
The queen looked at him like this and actually smiled: "She is in the side hall, father, just go and see her yourself."
"aunt."
Wang Wanqing's voice was heard at the palace door. Everyone turned around to look. She gently pushed away the palace maid who was supporting her and limped in.
Her hands and feet were bandaged, and there were some bruises on her face, which were more obvious after applying medicine.
Wang Wanqing walked in with determination, preparing to salute. After being excused by the emperor, she stood up straight and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Zhihan frowned: "Wanqing, how did you get yourself into this state?"
She was too lazy to answer such a ridiculous question.
"Grandfather." She looked at Wang Changwen with a resolute gaze. "Do you want to hear your granddaughter's personal account of what happened tonight?"
He Chengfeng, who had been lying motionless on the stretcher, began to twitch as if in his last moments of life. Marquis Xuanping realized something and said to Wang Changwen, "Uncle Changwen, Wanqing looks seriously injured. Let her go back and recover. If Chengfeng has ever wronged her, I will personally bring her to apologize when she is able to get out of bed. If my niece Wanqing wants to be beaten or scolded, I will not interfere."
These few words were intended to return the matter to a private matter between the two of them.
Wang Changwen knew the seriousness of the matter after hearing what the Queen said. It was his granddaughter who suffered, but if this matter were to be spread, it would damage the family's reputation.
He was also angry that He Chengfeng was so ignorant of the rules. They were going to get married soon, so why rush into it?
But no matter how angry he is now, he can only suppress the matter and save the face of both families. At the same time, he can also control the He family.
But within two breaths, the old fox had thought about everything.
"Marquis Xuanping is right. Chengfeng and Wanqing are engaged, and they are having a conflict. It is inappropriate to alarm His Majesty and the Empress over such a trivial matter."
Wang Zhihan immediately stepped forward to pull Wang Wanqing, and sternly scolded her, "Is there anything you can't say at home? How can your father and grandfather not help you? You are so audacious to disturb His Majesty in the middle of the night."
With so many people watching, the Wang family actually threatened the victim.
Wang Wanqing glanced at the emperor and empress, and her eyes fell on Xiao Li who was standing on the side.
Xiao Li did not avoid her, but looked at her with a very calm gaze, without any meaning, calm and without any ripples.
Wang Wanqing wanted to ask her for help, but she had no position. The Wang family had harmed the princess once before, and today the princess saved her. The princess had helped her enough, and she had to learn to be strong on her own.
"His Majesty......"
Wang Wanqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed resolutely: "Wanqing is willing to become a nun and never marry. I beg for your grace!"
She knew her own path. If she returned home, she would be forced to compromise and ultimately would not be able to change her fate of marrying He Chengfeng. After what happened today, she would probably be even more miserable if she married him in the future.
She had two choices: death or becoming a nun.
She doesn't want to die, she wants to live, even if she spends the rest of her life as a monk, she will have no regrets.
Wang Zhihan's expression changed instantly and he scolded: "Wanqing, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Go home immediately!"
Wang Zhihan quickly said, "Your Majesty, this evil girl is just talking nonsense out of anger. Please forgive me."
The Wang family was in a mess, but Marquis Xuanping stood aside and watched the show. He waited for the Wang family to deal with it first. As long as there was no problem on the Wang family's side, he would seek justice for his son.
"quiet!"
The eunuch shouted loudly, causing them to stop instantly.
The emperor had a dark face and his eyes were full of anger. This group of people didn't take him, the emperor, seriously at all.
"Since the complaint has been brought before the Emperor, let's have a joint trial by the three judges and get to the bottom of the truth."
"Come here, take them all away!"
The ones being held hostage were naturally Wang Wanqing and the He family father and son.
The Wang family father and son were shocked: "Your Majesty?"
How come this is really being treated as a case?
Marquis Xuanping looked at the emperor and was unsure for a moment. If he was really imprisoned, it would be bad.
