Chapter 122 Is the King of Qi crazy?
After the emperor sat down, he winked at the Dali Temple Minister and said, "Come here and tell me what happened from beginning to end, in as much detail as possible.
I want to see what interesting things happened to you on the day I went out hunting.
It is worth it for my two sons to risk their lives in public for this beauty! ”
The tone was full of sarcasm, and it was obvious that the emperor was very unhappy when he mentioned this matter.
What the royal family values most is face. No matter how they fight in private, they must look good on the surface.
It is really shameful to get angry and fight over a woman.
Just as the Dali Temple Minister stood up and prepared to speak, the Prince of Qi beside him spoke first: "Father, I have nothing to do for my beloved. Today's incident was indeed caused by the second young lady of the Wen family being framed..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Concubine Hua: "Shut up, you rebellious son! Have you learned everything that the teacher taught you?!"
Concubine Hua's eyes were sharp. The Prince of Qi had been under high-pressure education from Concubine Hua since he was a child. No matter how impulsive he was at this moment, he shut up in disappointment.
But his face was still full of dissatisfaction, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Concubine Hua's eyebrows were throbbing. She didn't understand why her son suddenly became so impulsive and brainless.
She now also felt that something was wrong with her son, but the chaotic environment made it impossible for her to take care of so many things at the moment and she could only deal with the current situation first.
The emperor glanced at the King of Qi without any emotion. But when he looked away, he glanced at Wen Yao who was hiding behind the King of Qi.
Just one glance and the emperor felt annoyed. What a petty and unpresentable look! It turns out his second son likes this!
The emperor said to the Dali Temple official: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and speak."
The Dali Temple Minister then bowed again and recounted in detail what had happened during the day from beginning to end.
This time he was not biased and every word he said was true.
The position of Dali Temple Minister was not obtained for nothing. When he was not intentionally biased, his professional ability was still up to standard.
Soon, everything was made clear and explicit.
He also asked people to bring up the bribed palace maid, the housekeeper nanny, and Wen Yao's personal maid.
The three witnesses were so frightened when they faced the emperor that they almost fell to the ground.
The emperor didn't even say anything. The eunuch Fulin beside him was very considerate and asked for the emperor: "Do you have any objection to the investigation of the Dali Temple?"
The three people answered in unison: "I have no objection!"
The emperor turned over the confession, which was stamped with red handprints.
The emperor closed the confession, and when he looked up again, he threw it hard at the King of Qi: "Look for yourself, there are witnesses and evidence, the logic is complete, the right and wrong of this matter is already clear,
If you didn’t understand before, what would you like to say now? ”
The King of Qi was humiliated by the confession. He knelt on the ground with a stubborn expression, "Father, these are just one-sided statements from witnesses. Yao'er is definitely not such a cruel person. She must have been too kind to her personal maid, which emboldened her courage and greed.
She had the guts to take the bribe from Princess Chen and frame Yao'er.
Father, I guarantee with my personal character that Yao'er is definitely not that kind of person. Please be fair and considerate! Otherwise Yaoer’s life will be ruined! ”
"Okay, okay," the emperor was so angry at the King of Qi's self-righteousness that he laughed: "You are using the character of a prince to guarantee a woman. Are you crazy about gains and losses?!"
Concubine Hua was also stunned. She had just warned him to talk less, and her son should have been obedient in the past.
This idiotic remark starting from the 0th frame even made the usually smart Concubine Hua confused.
She looked at her son with her mouth slightly open, and for a long time she couldn't think of any words to make amends.
Wen Yao, who was standing behind the King of Qi, also knelt down on the ground with a plop, vowing to stay with the King of Qi through life and death.
The emperor felt like his head seemed to be even bigger. He rubbed his eyebrows and tried to organize his words, trying to think carefully about how to scold his stupid son.
But he kept silent, and it seemed as if he had no way to deal with the King of Qi and had to favor him.
On the other side, Gu Chenran, who had never spoken and was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly covered his chest with his hands. After a muffled groan, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Wen Ling immediately leaned over and let Gu Chenran lean on her. She grabbed Gu Chenran's wrist with her backhand and was about to pass some spiritual energy to him: "What's wrong? Is your heart disease acting up again?"
However, Gu Chenran gently scratched the palm of Wen Ling's hand, and at an angle that no one else could see, he half-opened his eyes, winked at Wen Ling, and mouthed the two words "complain".
Wen Ling blinked and then understood immediately.
She shouted exaggeratedly: "My Lord, please don't get into trouble. Don't be afraid. Father is a wise ruler. He will never favor your brother.
Even if Wen Yao told me in the afternoon that she would be fine even if she admitted that she framed me, your brother would not let us both end up badly.
That must be just nonsense to threaten us. With father here, he will definitely see through everything and will not be biased towards your brother. If he really makes us do as Wen Yao said, then my husband and I will be killed without a burial place! ”
Wen Ling can't act or cry. When she gets emotional, she can only shout out loud. The louder she shouts, the more emotional she appears.
She had her back to the emperor, so he couldn't see her expression, which made her feelings seem particularly genuine.
Gu Chenran, on the other hand, watched the exaggerated expression on Wen Ling's face the entire time, which almost caused him to lose his acting skills and couldn't continue.
Gu Chenran tightly grasped Wen Ling's hand, and said with a look of grief and self-blame: "A Ling, I'm sorry, I'm useless. Just like your sister Wen Yao said, I'm just a useless prince. I'm indeed not as good as my royal brother. It's my fault that I can't protect you..."
With every word the couple spoke, the emperor's face grew darker, until in the end it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The emperor asked in a deep voice: "Did the second young lady of the Wen family really say these words?"
Before Wen Yao and the King of Qi could refute, the Princess spoke first: "My Royal Brother, it was indeed the Second Miss of the Wen Family who said that. I don't know if I heard these words, as did the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan, the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang, Madam Huo, and all the women present in the afternoon."
