Chapter 227: Your Majesty, I implore you to grant me marriage (Part 2)
Yun Zheng chuckled, "How can a mere salt merchant be worthy of being part of the Third Prince's faction?"
Oh no! Please, shut her up.
The third prince wanted to rush over and cover his mouth, but the emperor gave him a cold look and nailed his feet to the ground.
The head of the Lei family wanted to stop Cao Dewen from speaking, but was stopped by Ming Jingsi.
Cao Dewen was filled with resentment and raged, "The Third Prince wants to ascend the throne, but he needs tons of silver. I have mountains of gold and silver, I have plenty of money, and that money can help him become emperor!"
If he doesn't have a good life, no one else can have a good life, especially since his Yun Zheng was destroyed!
He donated all his property to the third prince, just to avenge him!
As soon as these arrogant words came out, the Third Prince and the Lei family were in despair.
When it comes to cruelty, Yun Zheng is the cruelest.
They dug a big hole and buried them all in it.
The third prince glared at the head of the Lei family angrily and asked, "Why did you provoke her?"
The head of the Lei family was also very desperate. He thought Yun Zheng was a woman and this method would be the fastest way to destroy her. However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
I can only say that Yun Zheng is really lucky.
But, is it really luck?
Yun Zheng mocked loudly, "So, you are the Third Prince's God of Wealth. He can't do without you."
Cao Dewen shouted even louder, "That's right, you're dead. You've hurt me like this, the Third Prince won't let you go."
Yun Zheng smiled faintly and turned to look at the emperor. "Your Majesty, the evidence is irrefutable that the Third Prince formed a clique and extended his hand into the Jiangnan salt business, colluding with local salt merchants."
The Emperor? Cao Dewen's mind exploded. He turned his head with difficulty and saw a group of people surrounding a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, majestic and cold.
His heart trembled. What did he just say?
Ahhh, it's over, he's been tricked by Yun Zheng again! She must have done this on purpose!
The third prince is almost mad with anger, what a bunch of stupid teammates!
"Father, I don't know him. I have no relationship with him at all. Please investigate clearly."
He really had nothing to do with it, he's innocent.
The emperor walked over and looked down at Cao Dewen.
"Tell me, how did you and the Lei family team up to plot against Princess Jinyun?"
Cao Dewen's mind was blank and his heart was in a mess. What should he do?
At this point, he made up his mind, "There was no conspiracy, it was Princess Jinyun who offered herself to me, she is so mean..."
A stone flew over and hit Cao Dewen's mouth, causing him to bleed profusely and two of his front teeth to fall out.
Li Wuyang snapped his fingers as if nothing had happened, "Your Majesty, this is a crime of treason and slandering an official appointed by the imperial court. Shouldn't this person's entire clan be executed?"
Cao Dewen was shocked and frightened. "No!"
Yun Zheng sneered, stepped forward and stepped on Cao Dewen's palm, crushing it hard, causing Cao Dewen to scream in pain.
Everyone was frightened and retreated one after another. Princess Jinyun was so cruel and had such a strong desire for revenge!
"You bastard, who gave you the courage to speak to the Ninth Thousand Year Old like that?"
Yun Zheng said sarcastically, "Oh, it's the Third Prince."
The Emperor rubbed his brows and said, "Otomo, pry open the mouths of those involved. I want a detailed confession."
The eunuch was extremely respectful and said, "Yes."
All the relevant people were dragged away. The scene was extremely quiet. Everything had to wait for the confession to come out before they could be sentenced.
The Lei family was very anxious, restless, and sweating profusely.
There is a big knife hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time.
"Gurgle." Hey, whose stomach is growling?
Oh, it’s Yun Zheng.
She clutched her stomach and spoke openly, "Your Majesty, I rushed here as soon as I got off the yamen. I haven't had a sip of water. I'm hungry and thirsty. Can I have dinner with you?"
She was the first person who dared to say this, and everyone looked at her in awe.
The emperor was stunned. He didn't say he wanted to eat. "Why?"
Yun Zheng said confidently, "I don't think the Lei family would dare to put drugs in your food, so just let me have a free meal."
The emperor was silent, and everyone was silent too. They were complaining and trying to deceive others. They were ruthless people.
This request is outrageous yet reasonable, you are worthy of it!
The emperor was in a complicated mood. He looked at Li Wuyang, who had a sullen face, and then looked at her. "Does your arm hurt?"
Yun Zheng's arm had been applied with medicine and re-bandaged tightly.
"It hurts, but I still have to eat. Only when I'm full will I have the energy to fight with others. I'm waiting for the imperial concubine to make trouble."
"She's probably on her way here. Even though she's in the harem, she's very capable."
Lei Family: ...Yes, we did notify them, but it’s too much for you to be so blatant!
The imperial concubine is their last hope!
The emperor's mouth twitched. Even though he was injured like this, he was still full of fighting spirit and fearless.
She just doesn't accept it!
"Your parents are both tolerant and generous people. Who do you resemble in your vindictive nature?"
Yunmu complained in her heart, what's wrong with her child holding a grudge? Is she going to put her face forward to be hit after being bullied? Will it be over if I just leave her alone?
Yun Zheng glanced at the emperor and said as a matter of course, "Like you!"
The emperor laughed angrily, "Nonsense, I'm not your father."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "It's called, 'He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black.'"
The emperor was speechless. What kind of child was this? "So am I Zhu? Or Mo?"
Yun Zheng spoke without blushing or beating her heart, "If the emperor is red, I am red. If the emperor is black, I am black. I will always follow your footsteps."
A sycophant! This girl earned the emperor's favor by doing this?! Shameless! The Lei family members cursed her inwardly.
But there are also those who are envious, for example, the Third Prince, learn it, learn it!
The emperor was so coaxed that his eyes were wide with laughter. "Hahaha, you are the best at coaxing people."
"Serve the food! Our Princess Jinyun is hungry. Prepare some dishes that girls like."
"yes."
Seeing that this trick worked, the Third Prince rolled his eyes and imitated Yun Zheng's words, "Father, I'm hungry too. Please let me have a meal."
He forced a smile and tried to create an atmosphere of loving father and filial son, as if nothing had happened.
What do you call this? Whitewashing!
The emperor couldn't bear to watch the ugly girl trying to imitate Yun Zheng, so he turned his head away. Why did he have to imitate Yun Zheng when there were so many other girls to imitate?
Yun Zheng saw this and said, "Your Majesty, let the Third Prince test the poison for us. He is young and strong, so even if he is poisoned, there will be time to treat him."
The Third Prince:……!!!
He exploded with rage, "Yun Zheng, don't go too far."
Li Wuyang's cold voice rang out, "Be more polite and call me Aunt Jiuhuang."
Third Prince: ...
The emperor glared at her unhappily and said, "Wuyang, a girl's reputation is important, don't talk nonsense."
Li Wuyang's face was stern and his tone was unhappy, "Your Majesty, whether you agree or not, I regard Princess Jinyun as my fiancée."
The emperor was almost furious. How could this happen? "No harm."
Li Wuyang's cold gaze swept around, "Anyone who dares to hurt her is going against me. Do you hear me?"
Everyone felt a murderous aura rushing towards them, and their faces turned pale with fear.
"I heard it, I dare not."
"Yun Zheng, you're laughing! Are you so eager to marry the Ninth Prince?"
The Third Prince's eyes were filled with anger. "Or was this all planned by the two of you?"
The whole place was silent, the air suddenly felt stagnant, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
The emperor glanced over with a cold gaze.
