Chapter 381: Stupid teammates

King Yu also sensed scalp numb. What the hell was Liuli doing? Was she helping him or hindering him?

When the emperor heard the name of Liuli, he was startled. The troublemaker was really becoming more and more intolerable. She not only quarreled with Ye Jinxuan, but also argued with the people in marquis’s house.

He had no idea of it, Liuli was notorious then, once the emperor heard her name, what occurred to him was conspiracy, then looking at the expression on several censors’ and adults’ dismal faces, King Yu was more sure about his guesswork. He was quite unhappy about Liuli’s and King Yu’s behavior, and started to be partial to and side with Marquis Jing ‘an.

On seeing that his father’s face changed, he secretly complained, why were these stupid people staring at him? Did they want father to know that they were instructed by him?He immediately turned away to show that it had nothing to do with him.

However, Lord Shen became more and more nervous when he saw King Yu’s reaction. Did King Yu think they were useless and was frightened by a few words?King Yu said he was bold enough to do it. If something went wrong, he would shoulder it. Was there anything to be frightened about?

Lord Shen hesitated for a while and said, ” Don’t ask me who I heard it from? This affair is so notorious naw that everyone is talking about it.” The impact of this incident is extremely negative. Just a few words from you will not be enough to get rid of your suspicion.”

King Yu narrowly spit out one mouthful old blood. Couldn’t the old goat be a little more discerning ?Didn’t he hear that Cuiyan is still alive?Didn’t he see that the emperor was angry? What he did is just like putting the head on the rope set, is he seeking to die?

” Then what’s your idea?” Xia Zhuofeng asked with anger.

” The only means to solve this problem is to call Cuiyan and ask the doctor in the royal hospital to diagnose it, and the truth would be clear.” Lord Gao said.

The prince sighed, ” Must it be solved in this way?Father is busy with government affairs, but has to waste time and energy on this trivial matter.”

” My Highness, Prince, this is related to the court’s etiquette and statutes. If things are not made clear, the common people and officials may learn from it. Didn’t several Lords in the Ministry of Military Affairs all get punished for violating the etiquette?Will everyone say that the emperor is partial to Marquis Marquis Jing’ an?” Lord Wei said.

Xia Zhuofeng and Xia Chunli looked at each other and were both embarrassed.

When Lord Shen saw this situation, he had more confidence. It seemed that they were just bluffing. Cuiyan must have been disposed of long before.

The emperor didn’t want to take charge of this matter, but some censors continuously mentioned it. If he dropped it, it would be really hard to stop the public voice.

So he said: ” Now that some of you are determined to find out the truth of it, then you let that person who was called …”

” Cuiyan.” Eunuch Wei reminded in a low voice.

” Yup, the maid named Cuiyan came to check it.”

Xia Zhuofeng stammered: ” This … this …”

” Can’t you hand in that person? Or are all the rumors outside the world true?” Lord Shen tilted his mouth and smiled gleefully.

King Yu couldn’t help expecting something, and he was almost confused by the father and son.

Xia Zhuofeng sighed heavily: ” The family is unfortunate, I am really ashamed to stand here. Even if my son is proved innocent, it can not change much. Considering royal reputation, I would rather choose to take the blame. And I don’t mind whatever others think of me.The emperor, it’s all because I didn’t teach my son well, please punish me!”

Prince already understood that the so-called royal reputation refers to Liuli and even King Yu. If it proved the innocence of Chunli, it would testifythe ulterior motives of Liuli and King Yu. Of course, King Yu was not deeply involved. Father rebuked him at most, but it was enough to let father see the negative side of King Yu . The duke was making concessions in order to gain advantages.Can he not help to pour oil on the fire?

” Duke, your word is not right, black is black, white is white, if we call white black and don’t tell right from wrong, whats the function of etiquette’s existence?The emperor is a clever and clear monarch, and he can’t be fooled casually. ” The prince said with unhappiness.

How can the emperor not understand the meaning of Marquis Jing’ an? Indeed, Liuli had repeatedly humiliated the royal family, which was really depressing. Moreover, this incident had caused much publicity and can’t even be considered private.

This old fox would carry the blame silently. But why must he also speak it out openly and say it out?Can he still let him keep on taking the blame?Wouldn’t it show that he is a bad king?

” What the prince said is extremely true, Dear Xia , you don’t have to worry about anything. If you can prove it, I will give you justice.” The emperor had to show magnanimity and understanding despite his depressed feeling.

” Since it was the emperor’s command, I will only obey it,” Xia Zhuofeng answered reluctantly.

When King Yu heard this, he was suddenly nervous again. It seemed that the Lord Xia really had a way to prove it.

Said in a hurry: ” You don’t need to be embarrassed. If there is any misunderstanding here, it would be better to clarify it.”

If he was not sure, he would only get himself into a more embarrassing situation, or it was better to find a step down as soon as possible.

Xia Zhuofeng sneer at the bottom of his heart, boy. He changed his tune quickly and got misunderstood in the twinkling of an eye.

” It’s a misunderstanding, but it’s a misunderstanding caused by bad intentions,” Xia Zhuofeng jeered.

As he said this, Xia Zhuofeng made a bow: ” Please ask the emperor to announce Chunyu to see him!When the child heard that the emperor was going to summon the old minister, he was in a hurry to go back to look for Cuiyan. I have said no need to, but he must find someone to come. ah … how could this impatient guy be so ignorant? I guess that the person have already been brought in at the moment. ”

King Yu and several censors and adults almost fell back. What the hell, Cuiyan was not dead!

The emperor was also oppressed with chest pain. This old fox was really sinister. Was Chunyu crude? It was clearly this old fox who had set up a trap. And he was described so loyal a person. He served as the good man and othered suffered the losses but still could not speak ill of him.

Chunyu and Cuiyan were summoned in. Xia Zhuofeng said, ” You should first confirm whether this is Cuiyan, in case that others thought we have found someone taking her place.”

The lords looked at each other. They had not seen Cuiyan yet. Who knew if this woman in front of them was Cuiyan ?

” If you have no opinion, please let the royal doctor come in!” Xia Zhuofeng said.

” Emperor, I have never seen what Cuiyan looks like?The emperor, should let the duke present evidence to prove it?” Shen’s forehead was sweating.

If it was false, and was mixed up by Marquis Jing’ an, and they would take the blame.

Xia Chunyu scoffed and said, ” Do you want evidence?Come here Mother Fang, please.

A moment later, Mother Fang was brought there.

Fang Mother was an old man from Ninghe Palace. The emperor naturally recognized her. Moreover, Mother Fangwas originally a mother assigned to Liuli by the queen mother, but later her several ribs were broken after being kicked by Chunfeng for making rumors, and left the palace to heal her wound.

There was no doubt in the emperor’s mind that this matter was related to Liuli and it was firmly confirmed after the appearance of her.

” Mother Fang, you have to prove who she is and tell the emperor what you know by the way. Don’t worry, the emperor will make decision for you, but if you lie, you will be guilty of deceiving the king and your related family will be punished or even killed.” Chunyu warned gently.

Thanks to Yaoyao’s taking the life of Mother Fang’s family as a bargaining chip, and with her earnest persuasion, Mother Fang promised to tell the truth.

The prince’s eyes looked at Chunyu with a slightly reproachful meaning. You should had already schemed it and didn’t even communicate with me first, making me worried about it and being scolded by the emperor.

Chunyu smiled, if this matter was told in advance to the prince, can the prince still worry about it? And can King Yu catch the trap?Although the prince was frightened and wronged, the benefits were real. Well, made amends with the prince later.

Mother Fang knelt on the ground, and even at this moment, her heart was still very tangled. She knew it clearly what fate was going to be when she said the truth. After all, she witnessed the princess’s growth. But if she didn’t say it or lied, her nephew’s life would be in danger. After a careful consideration, Mother Fang said, ” She is Cuiyan. The princess once hid her in my place, and I has been with her for a while.”

” You said the princess hid Cuiyan in your place?Why does she hide her?” although the prince had resentment in his heart, he understood that this was a good opportunity and would not miss it.

” The princess wanted to take advantages of Cuiyan’s pregnancy. She said that all the people in Marquis Jing’ an’s office were not good who always bullied her. She wanted to revenge.”

That was the only sentence, that was, breaking the rock and sweeping away the dark clouds and clearing away the moon.

The emperor’s expression turned dark and serious, and sneered.

” The princess also said that when the person was handed to Highness, Highness will certainly find a way to torture them.”

King Yu hadn’t woken up from the first thunder yet, and then the second come to hit him, directly blackening him both inside and outside.

” What the hell are you talking about?What’s the business with me?” King Yu was angry. He was really not afraid of the strong opponent, but was afraid of the stupid teammate. Liuli was the stupid one, who was too stupidto be tolerated. She should tell an old slave about such a secret matter, and he, unfortunately, believed in her. King Yu really wanted to strangle Liuli.

” Father, this matter has nothing to do with me, I have never seen Liuli before. The Mother Fang must be ordered by others and she should be put to death.” King Yu defended herself nervously.

” I have told a lot of lies in his life, but what I said today is true.” Mother Fang was ashamed.

Xia Chunyu said quietly: ” Hasn’t emperor Yu not seen Liuli? On the night of 12th, Liuli went to King Yu Office. On the 13th, King Yu and Liuli had whispered in the imperial garden for a long time. Later, the rumors were spread all over the country, and the Lords of the Imperial Observatory began to be busy. The memorial of impeachment was placed on the holy royal court. My Highness Yu, we haven’t offend you, have we?”

This time, the plan was not just aimed at Liuli, but also at dragging King Yu into the water. Last time King Yu snared him, and he almost died in the valley and killed Yao, and he also couldn’t forget the revenge of kidnapping Yaoyao. He must revenge onKing Yu first and then on Jiang Zuomeng.
