Chu Heng was so angry that he trembled all over.
In any case, he never thought that that incident would later become the subject of ridicule for him again and again.
The Great Chu Emperor obviously thought about that day and didn't look good at all.
He asked: "Chu Heng, what's so good about Yan Ruoshu?"
Chu Heng wanted to say that even though Yan Ruoshu was in all her bad ways, there was one good thing about her. She had the memory of her previous life and could use this to help him.
But he never dared to say this. Yan Ruoshu escaped death by pretending to be crazy. If he mentioned it now, he would be pushing himself on the edge of a knife.
Jin Yue knew that he didn't dare to say anything, so she said for him: "Maybe King Jinyang believes in Yan Ruoshu's words and believes that she is reborn."
The King of Chu had guessed the reason why his wife did not reveal the real murderer. She was seeking revenge on the King of Jinyang.
Seeing King Chu staring at her, Jin Yue felt guilty that everything had been seen through, and she began to panic.
Just as King Jinyang was about to speak, he was interrupted by the voice of King Chu.
"If King Jinyang believed that Yan Ruoshu was reborn, he should have known that the prince would be harmed. Why didn't you tell him in advance?"
Jin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, King Chu actually helped him like this.
King Jinyang's face turned pale instantly, and now he finally understood why his mother refused to see him.
He shook his head and immediately denied: "I don't believe her. Shu'er is crazy. She is completely crazy."
"King Jinyang..."
"Princess Chu, I framed you for Shu'er. I did everything."
As soon as King Jinyang said these words, he admitted that he was the one who set the fire.
Jin Yue stepped back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Jinyang fell to the ground, his whole body looking very weak and helpless.
He had to bear the blame for setting the fire. If he didn't, he would continue to investigate, and Yan Ruoshu would not be able to escape and be interrogated again.
At that time, the prince's death will be entirely blamed on him, so Yan Ruoshu cannot be interrogated and she can only be treated as a madman.
At this moment, he finally understood why Jin Yue was so dismissive when he was still complacent when he found out the truth about the prince's death.
"Asshole, this is ridiculous. You actually started such a big fight for a lunatic. You are so stupid."
Emperor Chu was about to faint from anger, but Chu Heng was his and the empress's child after all, and he could not be cruel to Chu Heng at all.
The Minister of Dali Temple has been with the emperor for many years, so how could he not know the emperor's thoughts?
So he stood up and said: "Although what King Jinyang did for his lover was ridiculous in the past, it was also caused by his infatuated nature."
The emperor nodded, indicating that he agreed with the words of the Minister of Dali Temple.
Jin Yue remained silent, as she had long expected the emperor's reaction.
No matter how angry or angry the emperor is, there is a saying that a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds.
Therefore, as long as King Jinyang did not commit an unforgivable crime, the emperor would not punish him too severely.
The Minister of Dali Temple also said: "Fortunately, the madman's tower came to report that although the fire was strong, it only lost a good concubine, and there were no casualties. As for the Jinyang Prince's Mansion, the Jinyang King burned his own great Chu law." The law does not say that it is a crime to burn one’s own house.”
The Emperor of Chu followed the words of the Minister of Dali Temple and said, "That's it, that's all. I heard that Yan Ruoshu also suffered a lot in the Madman Tower. I believe that King Chu and Princess Chu will not argue with a madman again."
Jin Yue nodded and said: "Of course, since Concubine Yan Liang is a madman, how can we take her words seriously?"
Emperor Chu was very satisfied with Jin Yue's awareness of current affairs, so he ordered: "The arson of King Jinyang must not go unpunished."
"My son is willing to be punished."
"Be grounded for one year and take good care of that lunatic. If she causes trouble again, you will be punished with the same crime as her. In addition, you will copy a scripture every day and send it to the palace."
"yes."
After walking out of the palace, King Chu held Jin Yue's hand.
Jin Yue raised her eyes and met the serious expression of King Chu.
He asked: "Can you calm down? If it's not enough, I'll go to the emperor to argue."
Jin Yue quickly shook his head: "As the Minister of Dali Temple said, there were no casualties, so his punishment is enough now."
And what Jin Yue didn't say was that the ruined faces of Yan Ruoshu and King Jinyang were already the biggest punishment for them.
Walking down the steps, there was a palace maid waiting for a long time.
"Princess Chu, our emperor and empress invites you to come over."
"good."
Jin Yue gave King Chu a reassuring look, and then left with the maid.
King Jinyang, who was under house arrest in the palace, was so angry that he threw all the tea cups.
Yan Ruoshu was brought up, half of Yan Ruoshu's face was already covered with a mask.
At this moment, King Jinyang's whole body was filled with gloom, which made people particularly frightened.
Yan Ruoshu didn't dare to approach him at all. After seeing the servants retreat, she quickly hid behind the table.
King Jinyang, who was already angry, was even more irritated by Yan Ruoshu's repulsive look.
"Why are you hiding so far away? Don't you love me? Don't you love me anymore?"
Yan Ruoshu quickly shook her head: "No, I didn't."
King Jinyang grabbed her out from behind the table and pulled off the gauze on her face, revealing the bloody burns.
"Do you still like me as I am now? Huh?"
Yan Ruoshu was frightened by his appearance. She closed her eyes tightly and nodded in panic: "Love, love."
King Jinyang was acting crazy and fierce at this moment: "Why don't you dare to open your eyes and look at me? Look at me, I told you to look at me."
Yan Ruoshu was so frightened that she quickly opened her eyes, the expression on her face was full of fear.
King Jinyang threw her to the ground: "It's you who caused me to look like this now. It's all your fault."
Yan Ruoshu shook her head in fear and said: "It wasn't me, it was Jin Yue. It was Jin Yue who harmed you. It was she who set the fire..."
King Jinyang looked ugly, grabbed Yan Ruoshu's hair and forced her to look at him.
"Jin Yue, you still dare to mention Jin Yue, do you know what happened in the palace today?"
Then, King Jinyang told Yan Ruoshu everything that happened in the palace.
Yan Ruoshu's eyes widened and she said in horror: "Retribution, it's all retribution..."
"Retribution, bitch, what retribution you are talking about, please explain it to me clearly."
Yan Ruoshu was choked by King Jinyang until she couldn't breathe. She frantically used her arms to hit King Jinyang's hand.
After King Jinyang let go of her, she cried: "My lord, you wronged her in the previous life, so now she lets you take the blame, and she wants to wrong you too..."
"Have I wronged her?" King Jinyang's eyes were red: "Tell me everything clearly."
Yan Ruoshu said: "In the previous life, a fire broke out inexplicably in Prince Chu's Mansion. In order to save you, Jin Yue resolutely rushed into the fire and carried you out, but she ruined half of her face because of saving you..."
The more Chu Heng listened, the more his heart sank. Is this really the case?
She saved him, but not only was he not grateful, he even disliked her. What was even worse was that he believed other people's words and regarded Jin Yue as the arsonist without even investigating.
After speaking, Yan Ruoshu's voice became lower and lower: "Later, you were so angry that you put Jin Yue into a water prison and punished her for seven days.
