emperor:"……"
Sixth Princess: "..."
The third prince: "..."
Black lines were drawn across the foreheads of the three of them. What Luo'er said was a tiger-wolf thing. You wouldn't even dare to write it in a script.
[A wife when needed, a cousin now when not needed. 】
"Cousin, please explain to the emperor quickly."
Zhou Fang was unmoved. She thought she would have someone to talk to when she found Meng You.
But when Meng You saw her, he not only didn't ask why she came or how her family was doing, but he also just wanted to cut off the relationship with her.
"Explain what?" Zhou Fang's voice was a little hoarse, and her tone was filled with disappointment. "Explain that you don't want to spoil your wife after you get the top prize?"
Meng You only felt that his head hurt even more. Although his wife had not read any books, she had always been very eye-catching. Now that she saw him tied up, didn't she think there was something wrong? Why would she bother him?
Before, he had thought that marrying the sixth princess would be unfair to his wife. After all, she was his wife who helped him take care of his mother.
Now it seems that she is only suitable to take care of her mother and do some menial work, and can't help with other things at all.
"Cousin, what are you talking about?"
Meng You spoke sharply, "We have a verbal engagement, but I haven't married you yet. How can you claim to be my wife?"
[Tsk, tsk, if I were Zhou Fang, I would definitely give him a big mouth without saying a word to see if he could still say such stupid things. 】
"Meng You," Zhou Fang didn't care if anyone else was present. She raised her voice and directly called Meng You's name. Her red and bloodshot eyes stared at Meng You with disappointment.
This was the first time she called Meng You by his name with anger.
The two have been married for many years, and his wife has always obeyed his words. Not to mention calling him by his name with anger, she is reluctant to say even harsh words.
"You are really a bastard in studying. Because you spent all the money on you, your mother passed away without any money to treat her illness. You just didn't ask me if I was okay. Where is my mother?"
Zhou Fang's voice was choked with sobs. Meng You was responsible for studying at home. He was not a good wife to her, but not bad either.
However, Meng's mother was very kind to her and treated her like her own daughter.
She originally planned to have someone bring a letter to Meng You when Meng's mother was ill, but was stopped by Meng's mother.
Meng's mother didn't want to disturb Meng You's scientific examination. She failed to deliver the letter and could only watch Meng's mother die of illness without money for medical treatment.
Before leaving, Meng's mother also left a message for Meng You. She knew that Meng's mother was worried that Meng You would dislike her if she passed the exam. Meng You was a relatively filial person and would definitely listen to Meng's mother's words.
In the past, Zhou Fang would not doubt Meng You's filial piety, but now she felt that she could not see the person in front of her clearly.
"You said your mother passed away?"
His mother was obviously fine when he left, so why was she sick?
Meng You's eyes were red. Before he left, he said that he would obtain a degree and bring his mother a good life.
"No," he stared at Zhou Fang, "I didn't take much money at all, how could I have no money?"
The money was all provided by the King of Yueqing, and he took a little of what his mother gave him.
"Don't you need silver for your clothes?"
Zhou Fang wiped her tears. Meng's mother was worried that Meng You would be ostracized because of his poor clothes, so she used her savings to pull a piece of fabric to make clothes for Meng You, otherwise she wouldn't be out of money.
"Mother, the child is unfilial.
Meng You couldn't listen to any other words and burst into tears on the spot.
If his mother is gone, what's the point of gaining fame and wealth?
"Your Majesty," Meng You stopped crying, "the common people did have evil intentions against the Sixth Princess, but all of this was instigated by someone."
They were both King Yueqing. If it hadn't been for King Yueqing's temptation, he would definitely be able to go back as soon as possible to see his mother one last time.
Anyway, now that his mother is gone and he has lost his first prize, the King of Yueqing has no hope of being alone.
[Well, I was planning to confess King Yueqing, but it’s a pity that it’s of no use. 】
"Who ordered you?"
The emperor knew very well that Meng You's few words alone could not move King Yueqing at all, but it would be good to give King Yueqing a beating in front of all the ministers.
"It's King Yueqing."
After Meng You finished speaking, the ministers all whispered that it was impossible.
The King of Yueqing is just an idle prince, what good will this do to him?
[No, King Yueqing should appear now. 】
Sure enough, while there was a lot of discussion in the Jinluan Palace, someone came to ask for an audience with King Yueqing.
…
King Yueqing hurried to the palace after getting the accurate news.
Now he could not enter and leave the palace at will, he could only wait at the palace gate to report to the emperor. If the emperor was not willing, he could only go back to the palace to worry.
King Yueqing paced back and forth at the entrance of the palace, his face gloomy.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Meng You probably won't confess you."
"You still have the nerve to say it?" King Yueqing glared at his subordinate, "Didn't you say that Meng You succeeded?"
The subordinates did not dare to speak and felt wronged.
Didn’t the prince think so at the time?
This Meng You is really useless, the prince gave him the medicine, but it still failed.
While talking, the guard guarding the palace gate came back.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor allows you to come in."
King Yueqing smiled and nodded and walked in. That trash Meng You had probably confessed him by now.
He knew Meng You, and what Meng You cared about most was his mother. Now that his wife had come to the capital, he must have known about his mother's death, and the matter was exposed.
Now that he is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, he will definitely drag himself into the water.
While thinking about it, we have arrived at the Jinluan Palace.
King Yueqing came back to his senses and walked inside.
The people inside all looked at him when he came in, and some even looked at him with a bit of inquiry.
This made King Yueqing more certain that Meng You had confessed him.
However, he was not worried. Meng You had no substantive evidence, and even if he had, it was completely destroyed by him.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled and looked at King Yueqing, "The emperor's brother came at the right time. Meng You just said that you ordered him to cheat on the sixth princess, so you came."
[No, they even destroyed the evidence before coming to see you. 】
King Yueqing glanced at Meng You, then looked surprised.
"It is true that Meng You's money was provided by my younger brother, but my younger brother will not admit that he was instigated to cheat on the Sixth Princess."
The emperor asked King Yueqing to stand up and nodded.
"I trust the emperor's brother. How could you do such a thing? Meng You, why don't you just recruit him? What's going on?"
Meng You glanced at King Yueqing, then slowly looked away with a firm tone.
"Everything Cao Min said is true. King Yueqing gave Cao Min a portrait of the sixth princess before, as well as the sixth princess's preferences. The emperor sent someone to the inn where Cao Min lives to find out."
When he came to the capital, King Yueqing sent someone to give him these, so he could recognize the Sixth Princess.
Originally, King Yueqing planned to let him slowly find out the preferences of the Sixth Princess, but something happened and he changed his mind and asked him to speed up the process.
