Chapter 94 Then, let’s start the war! (Part 1)
Yun Zheng was not afraid at all. "The prince broke the law, and he is guilty just like the common people. The eldest princess is committing atrocities and plundering people. She is a disgrace to the royal family. Why can't we sue her?"
Every word was like poison, turning into a sharp arrow piercing Princess Yong'an's heart.
Princess Yong'an's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You are fine."
I haven't met such an arrogant person for a long time. He is so brave.
Yun Zheng smiled faintly, "Of course I'm good, but you're bad. You've always done immoral things and brought shame to the royal family."
Everyone: ...
Princess: ...
She was shaking with anger. "What did you say? Say it again."
The Dali Temple official slapped the Jingmu Hall and said, "If you want to argue, go outside. Here, I have the final say."
He decided to make a quick decision and close the case.
"Princess, Princess Jinyun is suing you for occupying her mansion. Is this true?"
Princess Yong'an's expression was extremely firm. "No, the mansion was given to me by the Emperor. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Emperor."
She spoke with such certainty that everyone looked around in confusion.
The Dali Temple Minister has already sent someone to the palace, waiting for news from the palace.
He asked loudly, "Princess Jinyun, do you have any evidence?"
Yun Zheng was prepared. She took out two pieces of paper and showed them to everyone. "Yes, this is the title deed to the house. My name is clearly written on it."
She has always been meticulous in her work. After getting the house, she registered it with the government office on the same day and completed all the procedures.
This was also the reason why she dared to defy the world and openly sue the eldest princess.
Everyone saw it, yes, this is Princess Jinyun’s house!
What's wrong with Princess Yong'an? She shouldn't be the kind of person who would rob someone else's house. She's not that shallow.
Ye Yizhen's head got hot and she denied loudly, "This is a fabrication, sir. Why not torture her severely and she will confess honestly."
The Dali Temple Minister had no good feelings towards her and shouted coldly, "Shut up. Are you trying the case, or am I?"
Princess Yong'an protected Ye Yizhen behind her and said gently, "She is young and ignorant. Please forgive her, my Lord."
Ye Yizhen frowned. Why was her mother so polite to a mere Dali Temple official? Did he have some special status?
The Dali Temple official said with a stern face, "You are already a married woman, not young anymore. If you do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
His righteous words made Ye Yizhen grit her teeth.
Yun Zheng raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "The government office has also filed a record. Please send someone to check it out, sir."
The Dali Temple official sent his subordinates to retrieve the files. After a while, they returned with the information. "Your Excellency, the government has confirmed that this property is indeed Princess Jinyun's."
The Dali Temple official looked through the documents and said, "The evidence is irrefutable and not fabricated. This is indeed Jinyun..."
Princess Yong'an was calm and composed. She cleared her throat and said, "Don't rush to judge the case. I have already sent someone to consult the palace."
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled. "Sir, go get the Minister of Revenue to come over. He personally handled the paperwork for me. He's a very important witness."
The two looked at each other, sparks flew, and neither of them gave in.
While waiting, Yun Zheng drank fragrant tea, feeling calm and confident.
Princess Yong'an had an inexplicable expression, showing no emotion.
Ye Yizhen looked at this and that, her expression changing from time to time.
The third prince, hiding in the crowd, was looking everywhere for the figure of the Nine Thousand Year Old Prince. Why was he not there?
After an unknown amount of time, "The Minister of Revenue has arrived."
The Minister of Revenue, dressed in official uniform, walked in, followed by a Vice Minister of Works.
The Dali Temple Minister asked gently, "Sir, I heard from Princess Jinyun that you handled the transfer procedures for her?"
The Minister of Revenue cupped his hands and said, "Yes, this house has been vacant for a long time. The house has long been dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. No one has cared about it in these years."
"Until recently, the Emperor bestowed upon Princess Jinyun a Princess Mansion and allowed her to choose from among the vacant properties in the Ministry of Revenue. She chose this one."
He was clear and organized, explaining the whole process clearly.
The Dali Temple Minister continued to ask, "Are you saying that this mansion has been taken over by Princess Jinyun?"
"Yes." The Minister of Revenue nodded slightly.
The Minister of Works stepped forward and said, "Ever since Princess Jinyun took over, she paid a large sum of money to hire the Lei family to design and supervise the construction, and also hired the craftsmen from my Ministry of Works to do the work. It's been quite some time."
The two adults explained the matter very clearly. Princess Yong'an looked at them steadily, her eyes flashing slightly.
The crowd was in an uproar, which meant that Princess Jinyun took over the house legally and in compliance with regulations, and had the title deed and land deeds in hand.
Moreover, she had already spent a lot of money and effort on the house.
"Some people are so shameless that they actually robbed and occupied the princess's house by force."
"Why not grab it earlier or later, but at this time? This is clearly intentional."
"Yes, people looked down on the house when it was in a dilapidated state. The princess renovated the house and made it beautiful, but someone came to take advantage of it. How shameless."
No one dared to call Princess Yong'an by her name, but everyone knew who she was referring to.
"This person is not short of money, so why is he doing this?"
"Why else? To vent my anger for my daughter who is not presentable."
"Princess Yong'an stood up for the country and married Prince Zhennan, but how did it become like this now? I'm so disappointed."
At this moment, the person Princess Yong'an was waiting for finally showed up.
"The Deputy Chief Eunuch of the Yangxin Palace has arrived."
The deputy eunuch chief's surname was Zhao. As soon as he came in, he bowed and greeted the eldest princess.
Princess Yong'an nodded modestly, "No need for formalities."
"Deputy Chief Steward, please come and testify for me. I don't want to take the blame for this."
Eunuch Zhao looked around and finally his gaze fell on Yun Zheng's face, his eyes slightly cold.
"Princess Yong'an has been living in a women's temple in the far suburbs for many years. There is no princess's mansion in the capital. Not long ago, the princess came to the palace to ask the emperor for grace to grant her a mansion."
"The Emperor bestowed this former princess residence upon Princess Yong'an. They are both princess residences, with the same specifications and are very suitable in every way."
His words seemed to be unbiased, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were biased towards Princess Yong'an.
Everyone present was confused. What was going on?
The Ministry of Revenue gave the house to Princess Jinyun, and the Emperor gave the house to Princess Yongan. So, neither of them was wrong?
But, aren't both parties communicating with each other?
But, I always feel something is wrong.
Princess Yong'an had a reserved smile on her lips. "My lord, is there anything more important than the emperor's words? Are you going to disobey his order?"
After hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister was very embarrassed, "This..."
Eunuch Zhao said coldly, "No one can hurt the emperor's dignity, not even Princess Jinyun. Please make a decision quickly."
He came on behalf of the emperor, and his attitude is the emperor's attitude.
The Dali Temple Minister sighed silently, and this time Princess Jinyun had no choice but to accept defeat.
"In that case, then..."
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows and said loudly, "I won't accept this unless the emperor says in person that the house deeds and land deeds registered with the government office are invalid and not protected by the court."
The whole audience was shocked, and several important officials were dumbfounded.
Who dares to say that house deeds and land deeds are invalid? Not even the emperor can do that. That would challenge the foundation and laws of a country.
Once denied, the country's credibility will collapse instantly! The destruction of the country is not far away!
Princess Yong'an was furious. "How dare you openly defy the Emperor! Come, drag her away and give her thirty lashes."
The guards pounced on Yun Zheng like wolves and tigers. Yun Zheng stood still with a normal expression. Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She is going to use her ultimate move!
On, the killer move!
She opened her red lips and shouted something that made Princess Yong'an's hair stand on end and everyone else terrified...
