But I didn't expect them to be so bold that they dared to attack Sheng Mingyu in Kyoto.
"Mingyu, don't worry. I will discipline them properly and will never let them act so recklessly again. Are you hurt? Do you need a doctor to come and see you? Your health is the most important thing."
The emperor looked anxious and didn't listen to Sheng Mingyu's answer at all. He winked at his personal eunuch.
He wouldn't believe anyone unless he heard with his own ears that Sheng Mingyu was fine.
"Your Majesty, there's really no need to worry. This prince has been on the battlefield for so many years. How could he be injured by a mad horse? However, this matter does need to be thoroughly investigated. To dare to injure someone on the streets of Kyoto is truly audacious."
Sheng Mingyu's heart gradually warmed up. This is what it felt like to have a biological father.
When can we officially recognize each other? He can also openly call me father.
"Yes! You're right. We must investigate thoroughly. Once I find the person behind this, I'll kill him!"
Hearing the emperor's vicious words, Marquis Changping couldn't help but shiver.
What was he thinking, getting involved in the prince's affairs? It seemed like he was going to get himself into trouble.
"Then why did you bring the Marquis of Changping here? Is it because of the engagement? I think that method is good and not too difficult."
After finishing the business, the emperor brought up the topic that had not been finished before.
The Marquis of Changping was puzzled. How could this be related to him? Hadn't Gu Yunni already severed ties with the Marquis' Mansion?
"No, it was when this prince was about to enter the palace that the Marquis suddenly stopped him and said he had something to say, but he was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly. He also brought a lot of guards with him. I feel that those guards look familiar, so I want Your Majesty to help take a look."
Sheng Mingyu did not hide anything. His original intention today was to bring Du Changming down.
Although the process was a bit fast, he should pay the price for occupying his identity for so many years.
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
He knew that it must be quite difficult to make Sheng Mingyu bring up this matter on purpose.
Who has Changping Hou leaned on now? This old fellow is always restless.
"Oh? Your Majesty has so much power now? He even dares to keep guards. Bring them up here for me to see."
When he saw the guard standing in front of him, he understood why Sheng Mingyu was so angry.
It’s related to the deposed crown prince again!
"Heh! Isn't this the chief guard of the Seventh Prince's Palace? What's going on? Now that the Seventh Prince is out of favor, you're serving the Marquis of Changping? But you should obey my orders. I shouldn't have assigned you away, right?"
The emperor was really angry this time, and his tone was even more sinister than before.
These people just think they are good-tempered, so they want to take advantage of others.
"His Majesty……"
The chief guard who was kneeling below had cold sweat on his forehead. He was just following Du Changming's orders, so how did he end up in front of His Majesty?
The emperor's pressure continued to exert itself, and the chief guard and the Marquis of Changping knelt on the ground, unable to speak.
He had underestimated the emperor over the years and had forgotten how the emperor came to sit in this position.
He was very smart and directly betrayed Du Changming. He had already fallen out of favor, so the most important thing was to save his life first.
"Your Majesty, please understand! I am truly wronged! I have no idea why I followed the Marquis of Changping. I only know that I followed the Seventh Prince's orders. Please, stand up for me!"
"So you're saying that the Seventh Prince is secretly colluding with the Marquis of Changping, which is why he loaned you out. Do you know the impact of your words today?"
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni hid aside and watched the show. This chief guard was quite interesting. They just wanted to intimidate Du Changming, but they didn't expect that the chief guard would turn back halfway.
It seems that Du Changming's ability to win people's hearts is really not good enough.
He hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Your Majesty! I will always be loyal to you, so no matter if it offends the Seventh Prince or not, I will tell the truth and will never hide anything."
Everyone was laughing, except Marquis Changping, whose forehead was covered in more and more cold sweat.
Not only is Du Changming unreliable, but even the people under him are unreliable. How did he sit on the throne of crown prince for so many years?
The emperor pointed at the head of the guards and said, "Go back and tell him to stop causing trouble for me. If it happens again, get out of Kyoto!"
"Yes." He quickly retreated and fortunately saved his life.
It doesn’t matter what message I want to convey to Du Changming, as long as I’m alive, that’s enough.
"Marquis Changping, now that the truth has been revealed, do you still have anything to quibble about? Are you going to blame all the mistakes on the deposed crown prince again? He has such poor judgment that he actually managed to get you all under his wing."
After dealing with the minor trouble, the emperor turned his attention to the Marquis of Changping, his face full of disappointment.
He hoped that the royal family would become more and more glorious, but the people under his command were not enough for him to support.
"This year, your family has been involved in countless scandals, making the people laugh at you all day long. I didn't want to bother with you, but today you harmed the Crown Prince and even colluded with the deposed Crown Prince. Do you know that I hate factional strife the most?!"
The emperor spoke from his heart, and his tone could not conceal his deep disappointment.
No matter who he wants to support, he has no ability.
"I don't want to say any more. From now on, you don't have to come to the morning court anymore. Rest at home for a year! When you have thought it through, come before me and review your thoughts!"
The emperor sighed heavily, and the Marquis of Changping knocked his head to the ground, not daring to argue.
"yes."
Fortunately, the emperor still showed mercy to him, otherwise today would not be so simple.
The emperor waved his hand and Marquis Changping left.
He looked at Sheng Mingyu guiltily, but he didn't make the decision for him, and he didn't know if the kid would be angry.
"I'm not soft-hearted towards the deposed crown prince, nor do I want you to suffer in vain. It's just that I was too fond of him before. If I suddenly turn against him, I'm afraid it will make the people panic."
The emperor had better explain a little more. It was not easy to get Sheng Mingyu to stay by his side. If he made him angry again, he didn't know how long it would take to coax him.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. This prince does not care what you think."
Sheng Mingyu's indifferent attitude actually hurt His Majesty's feelings.
I don’t know if he really doesn’t understand or is being willful on purpose.
"One more thing, we disagree with what you said before. The Marquis of Changping is not a very good person. If Your Majesty insists on making a decision, then this prince can only take Yun Ni and leave."
Sheng Mingyu finally said something harsh, took Gu Yunni's hand and left.
Gu Yunni turned around and wanted to explain a few words, but Sheng Mingyu didn't give her a chance.
"Why are you and the Emperor so upset? You know he's wholeheartedly on your side. What he just said is true. We really can't let the people see any clues."
Gu Yunni had just tried to persuade him when Sheng Mingyu stopped her.
"Then have you ever thought about whether he should acknowledge me as his prince? If he keeps siding with the deposed prince, what good will it do even if he acknowledges me as his prince?"
