Chapter 129: Don't bully your friend's wife
"What?"
The prince's men?
So what is the prince doing here now?
When everyone heard this, they turned around to look at Chen Hechuan, and saw that Chen Hechuan had slowly stood up behind the curtain, and his hazy figure was approaching them.
He disappeared for a moment, then walked out from behind the curtain and stood in front of everyone.
His face was slightly red and his steps were a little hesitant. It seemed that he had drunk quite a lot.
But he still maintained some clarity of mind. He looked around and finally landed on the man who had spoken. He spoke slowly.
"Whose people do you say are stealing the bride?"
That person was just an ordinary commoner, and had never seen the prince before. He was trembling with fear and said hurriedly:
"This isn't what I said... I also heard it from others."
He knelt down as he spoke, kowtowed, and explained:
"Your Highness... I know you've been here all day, so how could you do something like kidnapping a bride? It's clearly someone else's false accusation against you."
The man racked his brains and finally came up with a reasonable reason. He immediately raised his head and repeated it firmly.
"Yes, that's right. This is clearly a false accusation against you."
Hearing this, the people around began to nod and echoed:
"Your Highness has been here discussing scholarship and writing with us all day, so how could he do something like kidnapping a bride, and moreover, it's Young Master Luo's wife."
"That's the wife of your highness's best friend. As the saying goes, a friend's wife shouldn't be your wife. Your highness is wise..."
“Ahem…”
When Shen Hechuan heard this, he coughed several times, successfully interrupting the scholar, and then smiled.
"It's okay, this is probably a misunderstanding. There's no need to panic. I'll go into the palace and check the situation now."
Having said that, he was supported by Tianji and staggered down the stairs.
Everyone present was a scholar, and they were naturally aware of the prince's situation. After hearing this, they were all confused and immediately filled with indignation.
"This is really too much. The dignified Crown Prince has been framed like this. Is it because they are taking advantage of His Royal Highness's good temper?"
"I didn't expect that even Young Master Luo didn't believe Your Highness and even went to complain to His Majesty."
"I'm afraid there's something else going on here. I don't believe Mr. Luo would do this."
After this person finished speaking, someone else in the crowd ran over and said hurriedly:
"Oh no, oh no."
"People outside are saying that Your Majesty is disobeying the imperial decree and forcibly seizing my wife."
"Right now, quite a few people have gathered outside, all saying that the Crown Prince is unfit to be a Crown Prince and that they want to attack him."
After this person finished speaking, the scholars around him suddenly became agitated.
"Ridiculous! This is nonsense!"
"Who is the prince, and who are those people to randomly associate him with?"
"I think they were clearly bewitched by some people with ulterior motives to do these things."
"Yes, we must not allow the prince to be framed like this."
"Since they dare to incite the people to frame the Crown Prince, why don't we stand up and help our Crown Prince seek justice and maintain his innocence."
"right."
The people around immediately echoed.
"Let's help the prince seek justice and prove his innocence."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scholars around him immediately echoed them.
So, a moment later, on the streets of Tiandu.
Countless scholars gathered together and walked with high spirits.
In front of them, surrounded by the dignified and handsome Crown Prince, they formed a beautiful landscape in Tiandu and attracted the attention of many people.
When the people around saw this scene, they couldn't help but come forward to ask what happened. After learning the whole story, they all joined in.
Soon, the team became stronger and stronger, and more and more people gathered.
Faced with those who had just gathered and wanted to slander the prince, they simply shouted a few times and argued with reason, and with just a few words, they made those who had gathered with great difficulty fall apart.
Chen Hechuan already had a high reputation among the people.
When everyone first heard the news, they didn't believe it. It was only because of the instigation of someone with ulterior motives that they gathered together.
Now that he was refuted like this, he immediately stopped and finally joined the camp defending the prince.
As a result, those people in the palace who came to "pick up" Chen Hechuan on the orders of the emperor took a few steps back in shock when they saw this scene and did not dare to move forward at all.
In the end, it was Chen Hechuan who stood still and comforted everyone with a few words, which made everyone calm down.
Everyone stood at the gate of the palace and watched Chen Hechuan enter safely before they dispersed.
This movement caused a huge response in Tiandu and soon caused a sensation among the court officials.
But it also made Emperor Rongcheng even more angry and vigilant.
After hearing the news, Concubine Hui and Prince Rui were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they could do nothing.
******
In the palace at this time.
Luo Ziqian knelt in the hall with a pig-like face, crying bitterly.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
Emperor Rongcheng is in a good mood today.
Concubine Hui also specially sent homemade snacks to Emperor Rongcheng.
Emperor Rongcheng had just picked up one and before he put it in his mouth, he heard Luo Ziqian crying.
He frowned and let Luo Ziqian in.
I didn't expect to see Luo Ziqian's hideous face.
Emperor Rongcheng leaned back subconsciously for a moment, only to find that he could no longer eat the snack in his hand, so he put it down and asked:
"Lord Luo, what happened?"
"Isn't today your big day?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian immediately cried and explained:
"Your Majesty, someone has kidnapped my fiancée."
"What?"
Perhaps because he was too surprised, Emperor Rongcheng repeated the sentence again, and then he heard Luo Ziqian say: "Your Majesty, my fiancée has been kidnapped."
"That's outrageous."
Now, Emperor Rongcheng understood and he shouted angrily.
"Who has the guts to snatch the bride in broad daylight? Investigate, investigate immediately."
Seeing this, Concubine Hui hurriedly brought a cup of tea to Emperor Rongcheng, and while helping him to smooth his back, she slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry or anxious. Let's first listen to what Master Luo has to say about what happened."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Rongcheng finally calmed down and said, "Since that's the case, then, Lord Luo, please tell me what happened at that time."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian immediately said, "I don't know the whole story either.
I am waiting at home today for the wedding procession to return.
But as the time passed, the wedding procession still hadn't arrived, and he felt confused.
At this time, a servant came hurriedly to report that a group of people suddenly rushed out, beat them up, and finally stole the sedan chair.
"I immediately led people to chase him, but we couldn't find him. We only found a jade pendant left behind."
