Just then, the commander of the Imperial Guards arrived at the court with several imperial physicians.
Several imperial physicians shook their heads after examining the arm; it was definitely beyond saving.
Upon seeing this, the Prince of Nan immediately understood and knelt before the Emperor, pleading, "Your Majesty, you must do justice for me! My only child has been ruined by this little bastard!"
Princess Nan, waiting outside the court, was extremely anxious. She had just seen the imperial physicians go in; she wondered if her son's arm could be saved.
Soon the imperial physicians came out, and Princess Nan quickly grabbed one of the older physicians and asked, "Can my son's arm be saved?"
The old imperial physician shook his head: "Alas, the injury is too severe to be saved."
After hearing this, the Princess Consort of the South staggered two steps, and then charged fiercely toward the court.
He was captured by the Imperial Guards as soon as he showed half his body.
Upon seeing this, the emperor simply waved his hand, dismissing them.
Princess Nan staggered and fell to the ground, wailing, "I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me! My only child, the little princess, crippled both of my son's arms for no reason. Today, she will pay for her crime in blood!"
The emperor frowned upon hearing this, but still kindly advised, "Please get up and speak properly. What exactly happened? How could the young princess have crippled the prince's arm for no reason?"
Then the princess pointed at Su Muyao; "It was all her fault. The onlookers saw her take something and then, with a few thuds, her son collapsed to the ground."
My poor son did nothing wrong, and he was beaten up right at our doorstep.
Su Muyao just looked at the princess and the prince and couldn't help but laugh. How could two people with single eyelids possibly have a son with double eyelids? Heh.
This Prince Nan is really unlucky. He was cuckolded without even realizing it, and he still can't tell even after raising his child to this age. Oh my!
The Princess Consort of the South was still babbling on and on, clearly the Emperor on the high seat was getting impatient.
The King of the South saw that his wife had said enough.
Then he said firmly, "The young princess is far too vicious as a woman. She has used her status to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Chong'er's life is completely over!"
At this moment, Lord Wang also jumped in and said, "Your Majesty, this young princess has indeed gone too far this time. The Prince of Nan was born late in life and has only this one precious son, but now he has been deposed. Isn't this going to leave the Prince of Nan without an heir?"
The Prince of Nan's lips twitched. "Does this Lord Wang even know how to speak? Why did he leave the rear behind?"
The Prime Minister then stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, you are mistaken. The young princess has not said why she hurt the Prince of Nan. How come it is the young princess's fault in your eyes?"
"I don't think the young princess is a rash person. Since she has already done it, she must have her reasons for doing so."
Su Muyao gave the Prime Minister an approving look, and the Prime Minister returned to his seat with a smug look on his face.
"Uncle, don't you know me? It's only because his son has offended me."
Before Su Muyao could finish speaking, the Prince of the South suddenly stood up, pointed at Su Muyao, and roared, "Even if I accidentally offended you, you didn't have to cripple both of my son's arms, did you? You are truly vicious."
Su Muyao chuckled: "Oh, when did I ever say I was a kind person? You should have thought this day would come when your precious son chopped off my brother's arm."
“Uncle, it was his son who injured my brother first. I was just giving him a taste of his own medicine. How could I have done anything wrong?”
The emperor on the high seat nodded slightly: "Indeed, I have investigated and found that it was the Prince of the South who first beheaded the little princess's brother at the academy."
The Prince of Nan never expected such a little incident. At the time, he only heard that the little princess had chased after him to the Prince of Nan's mansion with a strange object.
He slapped his own son a few times, then turned and left!
No one was even asked to investigate what had happened before this.
Just as the Prince of Nan was about to say something, the Emperor waved his hand and said, "Prince of Nan, you have failed to raise your children properly. Your children are children, but aren't other people's children children too?"
Since you returned to the capital, your son has been running rampant in the city, relying on his father being a prince. Do you really think I don't know what you've been doing?
After saying that, he slammed his hand on the table. The Emperor only found out about this yesterday when the Imperial Guards went to investigate the matter.
So many young women lost their lives in vain!
In the imperial court, everyone could see the emperor's dissatisfaction.
They were all as shrewd as old foxes, always keeping their distance from anything that didn't concern them.
The Prince of Nan glared at Su Muyao with hatred. He knew that even if he died here today, the Emperor would not punish this nominally lucky star for his sake.
"It is my fault for not disciplining him properly. I will make sure he recuperates in his residence in the future."
The Prince of the South could also see the Emperor's favoritism, but he felt resentful because the child was his only child.
Since the emperor is unwilling to make the decision, then don't blame him for leading his men to ransack the princess's mansion when he gets back.
Even if it costs me my life, I will make her pay for her crime in blood.
"Let's leave this matter here, since he was in the wrong first. Take him back and let him rest well. If there's nothing else, then we can adjourn the court."
Just as Xiao Dezi was about to call for the court to adjourn, Su Muyao suddenly walked towards the Prince of Nan.
"Uncle, Yao Yao has something to say."
The emperor looked at Su Muyao, wondering what this little dumpling was up to now, since it was all over.
"May I ask what brings you here, young princess?"
"It's nothing too important, but I don't want Prince Nan to remain in the dark."
After speaking, he looked at the Prince of the South.
"I'm just kindly reminding you, so you don't end up raising someone else's child for nothing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Princess Consort of the South opened her eyes wide and stared at Su Muyao.
No, how could she possibly know?
The Southern King looked completely bewildered, though he wanted to strangle the little bundle of milk standing in front of him.
But her words puzzled him: "Just say what you mean, don't beat around the bush."
The little boy circled around the Prince of Nan and shook his head: "How pitiful. He's raised someone else's child for over ten years. Didn't the Prince of Nan notice that your heir doesn't look like you at all?"
Princess Nan got up from the ground and lunged at Su Muyao, but Su Muyao dodged by slightly turning her body to the side.
"I haven't even finished speaking and the Princess Consort is already in such a hurry. Isn't that like trying to hide something obvious?"
The Prince of the South also looked at the Princess Consort with a suspicious gaze.
Upon seeing this, Princess Nan quickly explained, "Your Highness, don't you know whether Chong'er is your child or not?"
This little bastard is trying to slander our son and now he's even trying to smear me! He's trying to force me to die!
Then the little girl calmly said, "Let's not even talk about how this Prince Nan doesn't look like the Princess or the Prince."
Just considering that both of them have single eyelids, they absolutely cannot have a child with double eyelids.
