Chapter 579 Your Majesty, the King of War requests an audience!
The eldest son said, "A madman never lies! In front of the emperor, no matter how crazy she is, she wouldn't dare to act rashly. The Minister of Justice, the Minister of Justice, and other officials are all here, so questioning them shouldn't be difficult. If you don't want her to come and question you, isn't it because you feel guilty? It's a serious crime to deceive the emperor. I give you the courage to be so bold!"
The eldest princess took the opportunity to say, "That's right, father. This isn't the first time these two have committed such a serious crime. Last time, they disobeyed your order, which is the heinous crime of deceiving the emperor! Both crimes are unforgivable! Especially this Jiang. It must have been her idea. She is Nanny Chunjian's niece. If Nanny Chunjian's entire clan is executed, she would be the first to die. So, she was afraid of your punishment and deliberately deceived the emperor..."
At this time, another minister also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not. I have heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted Liao Jiu and his wife to present a golden eagle to the palace, but they refused and secretly released the eagle at night. This behavior of disrespecting the royal family is something I have wanted to report to them for a long time. This couple is completely unruly and unethical, and they should be punished severely..."
Xuanhuang's expression became increasingly ugly.
He slammed the desk and said, "Liao Jiu, Jiang Shi, do you have anything else to say?"
Thunderous Fury.
Dabao said respectfully, "Uncle Emperor, please calm down..."
Xuan Huang was furious and said, "You don't have to speak for them. Just watch from the side." He rarely spoke to Dabao so seriously, and this time, he sounded impatient.
Jiang Lianzhu's mind raced. "Your Majesty, these two men are not of good character. Their testimony cannot be counted... My husband and I made mistakes, but our crimes do not deserve the death penalty. As for the golden eagle, it is indeed tamed. Even if it is presented as a tribute to the royal family, they cannot use it. If we encounter a wild one next time, we will definitely consider handing it over to the royal family..."
The eldest son said, "Brother Jiang Dalang has bad conduct, so the evidence doesn't count. So, summon Jiang Cheng and ask her to testify. You feel guilty and unwilling to give evidence, so what else can you say? The Minister of Justice is here. You can ask him how many crimes you two have committed. Add them together and you deserve to be cut into pieces!"
Liao Jiu's expression was solemn. "Big Brother, why are you so aggressive? Last night, the people from Baihua Tower took Jiang Dalang and his men away from our Xiangwang Mansion. The snake woman surrounded our people. Could it be that Big Brother did this? Big Brother, are you a small boss of Baihua Tower or something? You must be forcing my husband and me to death!"
The eldest son laughed at me, "Oh, you know your crime is unforgivable, and now you want to drag us, the people who reported you, into this? I am from the dignified Zhan Palace. We, the Zhan Palace, have made great contributions to the Da'an Kingdom. How could I be someone from Baihua Tower? Even if you say this, you have to have someone believe it. False accusations and intimidation are fine, but when it comes to me, haha, it's not suitable..."
Xuanhuang seemed to be extremely disappointed with Liao Jiu and his wife.
He raised his hand and everyone fell silent.
"I am exhausted. Temporarily detain the couple in the Heavenly Prison. This case will be jointly tried by the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture..."
The implication is obvious.
Liao Jiu, Jiang Lianzhu and others have almost been sentenced.
I don't want to hear their excuses anymore.
The opportunity has run out.
If it were someone else, they would never be able to make trouble in front of him, but he still took into consideration their past friendship.
The Minister of Justice and others agreed, "Yes."
Dabao couldn't help but say, "Uncle Emperor, my parents..."
Xuan Huang looked tired and had a splitting headache. He shook his head at him and said, "Go back. You... children shouldn't interfere in adult matters."
After saying this, he pressed the bulging veins on his forehead, stood up and prepared to leave the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the War King requests an audience!"
There was a notification outside.
Why is the King of War here at this time?
Everyone was confused and thought they had heard it wrong.
Even Xuan Huang was a little skeptical.
"What did you just say?"
The announcement from outside repeated, "Your Majesty, Prince Zhan is outside the Imperial Study, requesting an audience with Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, Xuan Huang's spirits lifted, as if his headache had eased a lot. "Please come in! Please come in!"
The others also looked at each other in confusion. Is it really the War King who has come?
I haven't seen him enter the palace for a long time.
No, he hasn't appeared in public for a long time. There are also rumors that the War King is dead, but it is not allowed to be publicized.
Is this not dead?
As long as he's not dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, followed by expectant looks. The War King, a pillar of the country who never formed cliques or had any connection with any officials in the court, was truly likable.
Over here,
The most surprised person was Dalangjun. He knew that the War King had fallen ill again last night, but he had no right to visit him and was stopped at the door. Logically speaking, no matter what happened today, the War King could not have come to see the Emperor Xuan.
Unless you were dragged here!
Dalangjun had a bad feeling and he involuntarily stepped back into the crowd.
Soon, a group of people appeared at the door of the imperial study.
At the front is the King of War in court robes, with a solemn expression, awe-inspiring demeanor, and awe-inspiring power without even being angry!
The eldest son's pupils narrowed. It had been a long time since he saw Prince Yi so majestic and proud. It was as if he had returned to the old days!
Two gray-clad guards were carefully supporting a woman with two children, Erbao and Nanbao.
Jiang Lianzhu was stunned when she saw this.
She wasn't anxious just now, but now she is a little anxious.
Why did Lao Yu bring Jiang Cheng here!
Jiang Cheng's madness hasn't been cured yet. If she is stimulated again, it will be even more difficult to cure her...
Liao Jiu was inexplicably relieved when he saw Lao Yu. He knew his wife was worried, so he whispered to her, "It's okay, wife. It will be fine now that the War King is here."
Jiang Lianzhu didn't understand what was going on and was just anxious.
There are two more cubs. She placed them in the War King's Villa for refuge. Why are she bringing them here now?
However, the War King's cold poison has been cured, and he looks much better, a completely different person from usual. This is the true power of the War King! This is comforting.
Fortunately, the King of War was cured. Otherwise, if she and Liao Jiu fled, they would definitely not be able to stay in the capital. If the King of War's cold poison was not cured, she would definitely miss him and would not want to flee far away.
She had already made up her mind that she would entrust the three children to the War King in a while. If she and Liao Jiu were not in Da'an Kingdom for a long time, she hoped that the War King would take care of the three cubs because she cured him.
Xuan Huang came forward and excitedly shook Zhan Wang's hand, "Brother, are you feeling better? We two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time."
On several occasions, Emperor Xuan was worried about Prince Zhan's health and went to Prince Zhan's mansion to check on his condition, but was turned away.
