Chapter 100 Confrontation
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince of Nanliang, who was originally planning to leave, paused.
The second prince also frowned.
What happened to the prince?
After the incident at the Xishan Camp, the Emperor had always felt that the Second Prince's faction had grown too rapidly in recent years, so that the Crown Prince was no match for the frequent incidents that had occurred recently. Therefore, he had been paying extra attention to the Crown Prince recently. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Let him in."
The door of the imperial study was opened, and with a creaking sound, the Minister of Justice, with a pale face, stumbled in from outside.
Before he could salute, he fell to his knees beside the Second Prince.
This action shocked everyone present.
The Second Prince hurriedly supported him, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The Minister of Justice said in a panic, "Your Majesty, this is bad. The servants of the Su family have blocked the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess in the teahouse. Now, the Crown Prince is furious and has called the Jingzhao Yin and the Dali Temple Minister to the teahouse."
After saying this, the Minister of Justice swallowed his saliva in fear, then looked to the side at the Ninth Prince of Nanliang and General Muche. When he saw the two of them, his eyes widened in shock. He turned around to look at the Emperor, but saw the Second Prince out of the corner of his eye.
He seemed to have just noticed that there was the Second Prince in the hall, and was so shocked that he almost cried out.
The emperor watched his reaction with wide eyes, "The servants of the Su family blocked the prince?"
This is simply unbelievable.
The Minister of Justice was once again panicked. He looked at the Ninth Prince of Nanliang and then at the Second Prince, and licked his lips anxiously.
"Not only the servants of the Su family, but also the Third Miss of the Rong'an Marquisate. The Third Miss of the Rong'an Marquisate kept saying that the Crown Princess, as the princess of the Zhao Kingdom, deliberately destroyed the harmony between the Great Yan Kingdom and the Southern Liang Kingdom, in front of so many people in the teahouse.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious and wanted to investigate the case on the spot and give an explanation to the Crown Princess and the onlookers .
The emperor became more and more confused as he listened, "Investigate the case?"
He took in the look on the Minister of Justice's face just now, and wondered in his heart, could this case be related to Nan Liang and the Second Prince?
The emperor looked at the Minister of Justice calmly.
The Minister of Justice wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I don't know much. I only know that the storyteller in the teahouse told a story. The housekeeper of the Su family said that the story alluded to the young lady of the Su family and satirized the Second Prince and General Muche of Nanliang, and wanted to arrest all the people in the teahouse.
It just so happened that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess were drinking tea in that teahouse. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forbade them to arrest anyone, and the Su family's housekeeper did not want to back down. However, the third young lady of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion happened to be there.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people went to Jingzhao Yin to report the case and asked Jingzhao Yin to come over, I was reviewing the family files with Jingzhao Yin about the case of Xishan Camp. After hearing these words, I became worried and feared that something might happen, so I hurried into the palace .
Your Majesty, no matter what, this matter cannot be interrogated in public in a teahouse."
The emperor then understood why he looked so grimacing when he saw the envoy from Southern Liang and the second prince.
Although the emperor was still confused about what had happened, he was still furious.
A servant of the Su family, who was just a housekeeper, actually blocked the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess in the teahouse!
How disgraceful!
Is the Su family so fearless just because Su Yunyun is going to marry Mu Ze?
The Su family and the Duke of Zhenguo have always been in cahoots, and the emperor knows everything. Before, relying on the Duke of Zhenguo and the fact that the second prince likes Su Yunyun, Su Yunhe and Su Xiang were very arrogant.
Now, he openly ignores the prince!
If Su Yunyun really married to Nanliang, what would the Su family do? Would they covet the throne?
The emperor slapped the table and ordered directly: "Bring the person into the palace!"
He did not ask the Second Prince to step down, nor did he ask the Ninth Prince of Southern Liang to step down. As soon as the Emperor gave the order, the Chief Eunuch immediately carried it out.
As soon as the chief eunuch left the palace, the Duke of Zhenguo rushed over in a hurry.
When he came face to face with the chief eunuch and learned that he had been summoned out of the palace, the Duke of Zhenguo guessed almost everything about the matter and turned pale with shock.
Everything was fine, how could something like this happen!
Now that things have come to this, how can he enter the palace again? What can he say when he enters the palace...
Feeling anxious and angry, the Duke of Zhenguo had no choice but to withdraw from the palace. He arranged for someone else to meet the Queen Mother, and then sent someone to find Su Yunhe.
Imperial study.
The atmosphere was dull and stagnant. The Second Prince stood nervously beside the Minister of Justice, his eyelids twitching.
After about an incense stick of time, the chief eunuch returned with Rong Que, Su Qingqing, the third daughter of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, the Minister of Dali Temple and the Prefect of Jingzhao.
The emperor sat behind the table with a gloomy face, watching this group of people saluting him, and slapped the table, "What the hell is going on!"
The third young lady of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion stood there with a pale face, her whole body shaky.
The eunuch chief stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was a step too late and let the steward of the Su family escape."
The emperor was shocked. "Run away?"
The second prince was even more dumbfounded, "Run away?"
The Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Yin both confessed their guilt, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am incompetent. I really didn't expect him to be so bold as to take advantage of the commotion in the teahouse and run away."
The person who contradicted the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on the spot ran away.
The emperor glanced at the second prince with a sullen face. The second prince was so frightened that his legs went weak. I swear to God, he knew nothing.
The emperor looked at Rong Que, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Rong Que recounted the entire incident at the teahouse, word for word, in just the right amount of detail.
Of course, it also described in detail how the steward of the Su family and the third lady of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion were disrespectful to Su Qingqing.
The third young lady of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion became more and more panicked the more she listened. Before Rong Que could finish his words, she collapsed to the ground.
The emperor glanced at her coldly, "I don't know when the people in Rong'an Marquis's Mansion became more respectable than the Crown Princess!"
"I dare not!" The third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion trembled and said, "I was just anxious at the time. I was afraid that Nanliang and our dynasty..."
Su Qingqing snorted coldly, " Since when has it become the Third Miss of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion's turn to take care of state affairs?"
A sarcastic remark, filled with strong dissatisfaction.
She has the right to be dissatisfied.
After all, she was bullied today.
Bullied by a house servant and a noble lady.
After saying that, Su Qingqing curled her lips and looked at the emperor, "Father, my title of Crown Princess is really not as good as my title of Princess when I was in Zhao State.
Although Zhao State is weak, when I was in Zhao State, no one dared to humiliate me so blatantly, and no one dared to disobey my orders like this.
Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still there at the time."
These words were like a slap in the face to the emperor.
The emperor's anger was only directed at the Su family and the Rong'an Marquisate. He didn't even have the position to blame Su Qingqing.
Is Su Qingqing wrong?
That’s right!
When she was a princess in Zhao Kingdom, she was precious and elegant.
Coming to the Great Yan Kingdom to be the Crown Princess, so many troubles happened!
The emperor was furious, and the ninth prince of Southern Liang was even more furious.
The woman that he, the great general of Southern Liang, wanted to marry was just made up as a story by the common people of Great Yan?
He looked at the second prince.
The second prince almost exploded immediately!
