"Does your Majesty find it incredible?" Qi Jin smiled casually, with a hint of mockery on his face, "I also find it incredible. I repeatedly asked the servants who reported the report, and they said that the fifth princess indeed said so, and that she was with Princess Zhan. When the maid asked to tell the King of War, the Fifth Princess bluntly said, 'Brother Nine Emperors will not believe Chu Yunfei's words.' However, unfortunately, the King of War was sitting in the carriage and heard what she said clearly."
Very unfortunate indeed.
Emperor Mu agreed with his statement, but still wondered: "How do you know so clearly?"
"Not only do I know this clearly, but Princess Chen and Princess Yu, and even the wives of the powerful families in the capital, also know it very clearly." Qi Jin was calm and calm, without any sense of shame in making trouble, "Because when they were arguing in the street , There is no shortage of dignitaries in the shops on both sides of the street, and there is no shortage of informants from various governments around."
Emperor Mu hummed: "It seems that the noble concubine plans to complain first to the evildoer?"
"The imperial concubine may just be in love with her daughter." Qi Jin put it euphemistically, "But the War King's temper is not easy to offend. The fifth princess insulted the Princess in the street and even ordered the maid to touch the Princess' mouth. If the War King can endure it, I think he will Not a man."
Emperor Mu's mouth twitched: "Speak carefully."
"The King of War said that since the fifth princess likes to slap others so much, he should do as she says." Qi Jin smiled, "So he asked the maid from the Prince of War's palace to slap the fifth princess twenty times."
Emperor Mu understood. No wonder Concubine Gu couldn't wait to come over to see her. As a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and protected by Prince Chen and the concubine, how had Jin Yue ever been so wronged in so many years?
Being beaten in the street this time hurt not only her face, but also her fragile self-esteem. It was strange that she could swallow this breath.
Emperor Mu understood: "So you entered the palace early and waited here just to tell me this?"
"Uncle, don't get me wrong. I'm not a aunt or a grandma. It's really because the King of War rarely goes shopping with the princess, but his good mood is ruined, that's why I wanted to enter the palace first and be a fair messenger." Qi Jin said, leisurely. He added, "Lest uncle be deceived."
Emperor Mu squinted at him and said, "Does your father know that you are so talkative?"
"I know." Qi Jin nodded seriously, "That's why he never dared to speak ill of his mother in front of me."
Emperor Mu's expression froze. He really didn't expect him to be so shameless. He raised his hand and waved: "Get out, get out!"
Qi Jin bowed, turned around and left calmly.
After walking out of the Qinzheng Hall, he saw the imperial concubine leading Princess Chen and Rong Jinyue standing outside the hall. Qi Jin paused slightly. Is this the whole family joining the battle?
They really worked together to file a complaint.
Qi Jin bowed to the imperial concubine in a perfunctory manner, his eyes fell on Rong Jinyue's face, and he clicked his tongue: "The princess's face is really..."
It's so beautiful, touching and pitiful.
The King of War fought really well.
Qi Jin shook his head and left before finishing his words, completely ignoring the reactions of the imperial concubine and Rong Jinyue after hearing these words.
Concubine Gu's face turned green, and she subconsciously scolded him for being presumptuous. However, thinking of King Chen's idea of winning over Qi Jin, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes. She swallowed the words when she reached her lips, and had no choice but to let him leave, and then raised her feet and stepped forward. Enter the palace gate.
Emperor Mu was reviewing the memorial, and beside him Yang Dexi quietly lowered his eyes and studied ink.
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty." Concubine Gu entered the palace, knelt down and saluted the Emperor, her tone of voice was filled with anger, "I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for Jin Yue."
Emperor Mu raised his eyes to look at her, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
The words he heard yesterday rang in his ears one by one, which completely changed his view of Concubine Gu. At this time, whenever he thought that mother and son were secretly praying for his father to die suddenly, Emperor Mu couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.
One is his favorite concubine, and the other is the son he once thought was the most outstanding and filial son.
However, they are really good.
Emperor Mu gently closed his eyes, suppressed the violent anger in his heart, looked at Rong Jinyue with a heavy gaze, and then frowned: "What's wrong with your face?"
"Father!" Rong Jinyue knelt down and cried out in pain, "Please, father, make the decision for me, wuwuwu..."
Emperor Mu thought of what Qi Jin had just said, and already knew what was going on with her face, but he still put down his ink pen and said in a deep voice: "Stop crying, no matter what trouble you caused outside, first explain what happened clearly .”
"Your Majesty." Concubine Gu was shocked, "Jin Yue's face was beaten like this. Do you still think she caused trouble outside?"
Emperor Mu said coldly: "If she hadn't caused the trouble first, looking at the entire capital, who would dare to beat the princess for no reason?"
Concubine Gu's face turned ugly and she said coldly: "In order to protect his princess, Rong Cang attacked Jin Yue, his biological sister. I cannot tolerate such a thing!"
"Rong Cang?" Emperor Mu frowned, staring at Rong Jinyue for a moment, "Jinyue, did you have a conflict with Princess Zhan?"
Rong Jinyue just cried, she was out of breath and couldn't say a word.
Princess Chen, who was kneeling aside, thoughtfully replied for her: "Reporting to my father, Jin Yue met Princess Zhan by chance when she was shopping with some friends. It is said that she was just surprised that Princess Zhan had time to go shopping. The two of them had a quarrel for some reason. Unexpectedly, the War King heard it while sitting in the carriage. He thought that Jin Yue was disrespectful to Princess Zhan, so he ordered the maid to slap Jin Yue on the spot... Many people saw this. As a princess, Jin Yue may be a little unruly and willful, but the War King My daughter-in-law thought it was inappropriate to be so merciless and let Jin Yue be humiliated in public."
Emperor Mu's voice did not distinguish between joy and anger: "Did Princess Chen see the causes and consequences of their conflict with her own eyes?"
Princess Chen was startled and subconsciously replied: "My daughter-in-law is not..."
"Since you didn't see it with your own eyes, how should I believe what you said?" Emperor Mu said in a calm tone, "Besides, Rong Cang is not an unreasonable person. Jin Yue must have provoked Princess Zhan first, otherwise with Rong Cang's temper, he would never It is impossible to embarrass your sister in front of everyone."
Princess Chen's face turned pale and her face felt hot.
"Father?" Rong Jinyue raised her head in disbelief, her eyes unable to hide the shock and sadness, "My daughter is your daughter——"
Emperor Mu waved his hand and ordered: "Yang Dexi, please tell Prince Zhan and his wife to enter the palace."
"I've already sent someone to pass it on." Gu Guifei said calmly, "I should be on my way here now."
Emperor Mu's expression paused slightly: "Then let's wait until they enter the palace."
After a pause, "It is also said that Prime Minister Jiang's second daughter, Princess Rong's Mansion, and Dou Shangshu's daughter all came to the palace to meet the saint."
Concubine Gu's expression changed: "Your Majesty!"
"A trial requires not only a confrontation between the two parties, but also eyewitnesses." Emperor Mu's eyes darkened slightly, "Otherwise, if both of you insist on your own story, who should I believe?"
When Rong Jinyue heard that Emperor Mu had announced that the three of them had entered the palace, she was not worried at all. Rong Huaiyue, Jiang Qian and Dou Huiran had no time to curry favor with her, and they would never be able to speak for the King of War.
Qinzheng Hall quickly fell into silence, and time passed quietly.
They were all waiting for Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei.
