The discussion intensified, and Yu Shuen was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud and kowtowed several times.
"Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. This belt was not made by my daughter, but by Yu Nianchu!"
"My embroidery skills are not good, so I asked her to do it for me. I am really confused! She must have harmed my daughter!!"
"That's enough!!" Yu Chengguang, who was silent on the side, finally spoke, waiting for Yu Shuen with angry eyes.
"Shu'er, Chu'er has been hurt enough by you, and you still dare to frame her!!!"
Yu Shuen cried so hard that she shook her head repeatedly, "Dad, Shu'er doesn't have it. She really embroidered this!!"
"If you don't believe it, call her up and let's confront her!!"
Yu Nianchu is now seriously injured and is surrounded by rumors. Yu Chengguang wants to protect her well, so how can he be willing to let her out...
At this time, the emperor responded and shouted outside, "Bring Yu Nianchu here."
He also felt sorry for Yu Nianchu, but as an emperor, he still had to ask questions clearly, and he could never make hasty judgments.
After a while, Yu Nianchu was brought here. Just as she was about to salute, Xie Lan stopped her.
"Chu'er, just stand and answer."
He pointed to the belt around King Chengan's waist and asked, "Did you embroider this?"
Yu Nianchu looked confused, then shook his head, "Your Majesty, I have never made a belt for Your Highness."
"You're talking nonsense!!" Yu Shuen was furious and immediately rushed towards Yu Nianchu. Fortunately, Dingyuan Hou stopped her.
"Shu'er! Don't lose etiquette in front of His Majesty!!"
Yu Shuen threw his hand away, tears falling down, "Dad, you are partial! She is your daughter, am I not the same!"
"This belt is obviously made by her! The girls around me can all testify, why don't you help me, but you have to help her!!!"
"Dad, do you know that this is disrespectful and you will be beheaded!!!"
Yu Shuen was almost irritable, the emperor quickly waved his hand, and several guards stepped forward to hold her down.
"I won't listen to one-sided words. Come here and bring in all the ladies who are good friends with Yu Shuen."
Four or five people bowed to the emperor in a polite manner, and then followed the emperor's instructions and looked up at the belt.
Everyone was there at the last plum blossom banquet, and they all heard Yu Shuen swear at that time that she made this belt with her own hands.
The old sisterly love disappeared instantly in front of the emperor. Everyone said that this was indeed done by Yu Shuen.
Several wealthy ladies came in a row, and they all said so.
At this time, Yu Shuen was already despairing.
She just wanted to express her intentions towards King Chengan at that time, but why did it become the evidence of her crime now...
The emperor nodded, feeling reassured. He did not immediately order the execution of Yu Shuen, but looked at Yu Chengguang.
"My dear, you are not a good teacher."
Yu Chengguang immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "Yes, I have failed your majesty's trust, but Shu'er is my eldest daughter, so please give me a gentle sentence and spare her life!!"
Yu Nianchu also kowtowed to the side, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
At this critical moment, Li Xianglan ran in and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This belt was not made by Shu'er, it was made by my wife, my wife!! Please spare Shu'er, your majesty. I am willing to bear the responsibility!!"
The emperor frowned coldly and glanced at Li Xianglan with his sharp eyes.
"Oh? Madam Li, why did you make a dragon-patterned belt for your daughter to give to Azhun?"
"Do you want to rebel? Or do you want Ah Zhun to rebel?"
How could Li Xianglan want so much? She just wants to save her daughter's life now.
Yu Shuen is still young, and she still has a long way to go... she must not be buried here inexplicably!
She kowtowed heavily again and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly that I have absolutely no rebellious intentions. It's just that my knowledge is shallow and I couldn't tell whether the python has four claws or five claws, so today's misunderstanding happened!"
"My wife is really stupid, but this matter really has nothing to do with Shu'er! She just gave the belt that I made to His Highness Prince Cheng'an!"
Xie Zhun immediately sneered. He still didn't understand why Yu Shuen wanted to harm him and marry him at the same time.
Now he understood that if the belt was made by her mother, wouldn't it mean that Mrs. Li wanted to frame him?
That's right, in the court, Li supported the second prince and Concubine Li, who had always been at odds with him.
As for Yu Shuen, I'm afraid she was used as a gun. Otherwise, what does a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl know?
He cupped his hands and said firmly, "Brother, Mr. Li has really committed a heinous crime. He not only hurt Yu'er, but also framed his younger brother. He really deserves to be punished!"
"I don't know if it was their spontaneous behavior or if there was someone behind it?"
The second prince was also in the camp at this time. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down with a bang, anxiety written all over his face.
"Father, my son and I don't know anything. My mother and concubine were ill this time and they didn't accompany me. How could they be involved in framing the prince!"
"Furthermore, my father knows that although my son and the prince have little contact, they don't have any grudges."
"The prince's brother has no fights with the world, and my sons and ministers admire him!"
Before the emperor could answer, Xie Zhun taunted again, "The second prince is really good at deflecting blame. Now he is thinking of the deep brotherhood?"
"When you used my king's belt to send those unclean things to the hunting grounds with Li Guang, why didn't you think of the deep love between brothers?"
"Now that Yu'er is seriously injured and still lying down, if he can't wake up, who will benefit? Isn't it the Second Prince who has always wanted to replace him?"
"Even Concubine Li is probably quite a queen~"
The two couldn't argue. Xie Lan frowned and immediately shouted, "Shut up!"
He sat back on the dragon chair, having already made up his mind about this matter.
Xie Lan looked at Xie Zhun, "Azhun, even if you were not involved, this Yu'er was injured by hungry wolves and bandits because of your waist card, and you cannot escape the blame!"
"Let's go back to the palace and think about the past behind closed doors. We won't have to go to court for the past three months."
He looked at the second prince again, "As for Jue'er."
"The Li family is your mother's mother clan. If they commit crimes, you will also be implicated."
"I see, you don't need to participate in this winter hunt. Go back and stay with your mother to recuperate."
"When you have nothing to do, read the Book of Rites more and understand what it means to respect superiors and inferiors, and what it means to keep one's integrity."
Xie Jue and Xie Zhun looked at each other, each dissatisfied, but the emperor had made a decision, and they had no choice but to comply with the punishment first, and then gradually implement it later.
The two of them retreated together. Finally, Xie Lan waved his hand, and the onlookers all left the tent.
Only the emperor and Dingyuanhou's family were left kneeling on the ground.
