Chapter 608: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 29
So, when the emperor went to the palace to persuade his upset brother, he heard Zheng Yunxi speak.
"What's wrong with me swimming in my own lake late at night?
This is the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, it's my home, I can do whatever I want.
But it was His Royal Highness Prince Rong who came to my house late at night and scared me a lot.
What's wrong with me making up a lie to trick the person in front of me away?
As a girl, facing someone who seems to be a scoundrel, shouldn't I scare him away instead of letting him stay and talk about life?
Zheng Yunxi almost blurted out "talking to strangers", but fortunately at the critical moment he realized that this was ancient times and avoided making a fool of himself.
Prince Rong's face turned red after being scolded. He pointed at Zheng Yunxi and said, "You...you..." twice.
Just as he was about to organize his words to fight back, the emperor had already signaled the monks around him to forcibly take Prince Rong away.
What kind of thing would it be for a royal prince to secretly come to a minister's house late at night and quarrel with the minister's little daughter?
Fortunately, he ordered everyone in the mansion to faint, otherwise, the two quarreling loudly could wake up a deaf person.
The monk received the order, stepped forward, carried Prince Rong on his shoulders, and walked towards the palace with the emperor.
Prince Rong was desperately flapping his limbs on the monk's shoulders, shouting non-stop.
"Just wait, I will definitely come back. I want revenge, revenge..."
Zheng Yunxi stood there and watched them leave. He felt so proud in his heart that he almost waved his handkerchief to say goodbye.
It felt good. No matter whether it was childish or not, she felt relieved because she had quarreled with the other party and ran away.
The anger that had been blocked by Prince Rong and that had been everywhere in the mansion looking for a place to practice cultivation suddenly dissipated a lot.
His spiritual consciousness followed the team back to the palace and listened to the conversation between the emperor and Prince Rong. It seemed that Prince Rong would not harass him again in the short term, and he felt even more relieved.
As the emperor walked, he lowered his voice and scolded Prince Rong: "Keep your voice down! It's embarrassing to do this so late at night.
Are you going to wake everyone up and let them see what you look like now?"
Prince Rong was not willing to admit defeat and immediately retorted without giving in.
"Royal brother, what am I ashamed of? She lied to me first!"
The emperor said: "You are still being stubborn! Look at what you have done. Going to someone else's house in the middle of the night is so disgraceful!"
I intend to send you to the royal ancestor to stay for a while to temper your temper."
When Prince Rong heard that he was going to be sent to the royal ancestor, he immediately became anxious.
"Royal brother, please don't! I won't go! I haven't done anything wrong. I just want to find out about the ghost world. I don't deserve this."
The emperor remained unmoved: "You still think you are not wrong? If your reckless behavior gets out, how will the royal family maintain its reputation?
The ancestors are the ones with the highest cultivation level in the clan, and they are the foundation of the royal family.
Don't you want to practice? If you can convince them to teach you a few moves, it will be enough for you to benefit endlessly."
Prince Rong has no talent for cultivation. The emperor said this just because he wanted to bring him to the ancestor smoothly.
Regardless of other things, those old guys have rich life experience, so at least it won't be a problem for them to scare Prince Rong.
Prince Rong muttered angrily, "Humph, I am not wrong in the first place. The one who is wrong is definitely the one who deceived me.
"Royal brother, please don't try to deceive me. You can go to the ancestors, but you must ensure that they teach me how to practice, instead of giving me lectures every day like before."
What can the emperor do? He can only lie.
I could only respond casually with “yes, yes, yes, okay, okay”.
It seems that Prince Rong has been coaxed by the emperor again. Zheng Yunxi is quite happy about this. It’s good to have some peace and quiet for a while.
I returned to my own courtyard and began to catch up on my sleep.
The next day, everyone in the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion got up, and no one noticed anything unusual. Everything was in order as usual.
But in the palace, before going to court, the emperor called his confidant and whispered to him, "You wait at the road that the prince must pass by and give him the things you took from the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion last night." The confidant took the order and left.
When the prince passed by, the person who brought the gift came forward respectfully, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Highness, we are here by order of His Majesty to give this to you. His Majesty said that you will understand once you see the gift."
After the prince took the things, the man bowed and turned to walk towards the main hall.
The prince was full of doubts and originally planned to check again after returning to the East Palace after court.
But then I thought, my father specially sent someone to deliver it before the court session, so it might be related to what happened in the court today.
Thinking of this, he slowly uncovered the cloth covering the tray.
As soon as the prince saw what was inside, his face turned pale, his hand trembled, and the towel fell back onto the tray.
He was very familiar with this thing. He had designed it and asked someone to copy it. It was the evidence of frame-up that he had sent people to plant in the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion.
"How could this happen? Father knew as soon as I put it in?"
The prince was shocked. "How much does the emperor know? Does he also know that there are treasures in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?"
Could it be that all my actions are under the Emperor's surveillance, and this time he is specifically warning me?"
The more he thought about it, the more panicked the prince became. When he came to his senses, his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.
At this time, the grand court meeting had already begun.
In the hall, the emperor looked at the empty seat in the front that belonged to the prince and sneered in his heart.
"You're really not up to the task. You're frightened by such a small thing. You must have lived too comfortably."
“If it were during the time when I was fighting for the throne with my brothers, any of my brothers would have easily resolved this situation immediately, or even turned the passive situation into the active one.
It seems that this prince is really no good.
For such a small matter, I don't even have the courage to stand in the court."
The prince, supported by his servants, returned to the East Palace with unsteady steps.
His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were full of fear and panic, and the panic in his heart was like a surging tide, one wave after another, and could not be calmed down.
He sat in his chair, and the more he thought about it, the worse it seemed.
So he hurriedly called his servants and urgently ordered, "Go contact Lord Feng, Lord Li, and Lord Shi, and have them come to see me immediately. Tell them I have something important to discuss with you!"
But just as he said this, he suddenly slapped his head and remembered that it was court time and those confidants were all in the court and could not come at all.
He waved his hand irritably and said, "Forget it, you can leave now."
Just at this moment, the prince suddenly remembered that he had carefully planned a "good show" today - impeaching the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for treason.
Originally, he thought everything was a sure thing, but in this situation, his father obviously knew everything, and even the "evidence" he had arranged in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion had been sent back.
But he just forgot to notify everyone to cancel today's event. Now even if he wanted to stop the impeachment, it was too late.
