Chapter 483: Grounding
The person in a high position remained silent, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to proceed.
Only Prince Yong was impatient and raised his head to ask Emperor Chongzhao: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we investigate and question such clear testimony?"
Emperor Chongzhao looked at the kneeling Prince Beijing with a complicated expression, sighed deeply, and said:
“That’s what Brother Eleven said.
"Prince Beijing and the two dukes of the east and west are temporarily confined to the palace, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave.
"After all, he was once a loyal minister of the Supreme Lord, and the Northern King's father and grandfather had once saved the emperor. I want to thoroughly investigate this matter, and I still need the Supreme Lord's golden words and jade words.
"Please keep silent about this matter and don't spread it out."
King Yong glanced at the three people kneeling on the ground with disgust and snorted:
"Thinking back to when the emperor brothers were arguing, I still remember that the four princes and eight dukes argued in the court that if a prince broke the law, he would be punished the same as a commoner.
“Now it’s their turn. They are thinking about old friendships and distant achievements. I don’t know when the dignity of a minister would overshadow that of a prince!
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
Prince Consort Yongchang glanced at Prince Jing, who was squinting his eyes and pretending to be deaf, then glanced at Prince Leshan, who kept silent as it was none of his business, and finally seemed to casually glance at Prince Xiaoyao and Prince Shen, who were standing hand in hand behind him, and he also lowered his head.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhao, who was high above him, saw his little action clearly, raised the corner of his mouth, and asked in a gentle voice:
"Prince Consort Yongchang, who are you looking at, what are you looking at, and what are you waiting for?"
Prince Consort Yongchang shuddered all over and bowed down hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's neck, I didn't sleep well last night..."
"Didn't sleep well? That's right. The other day he came to teach me how to do things, how to consider old friendships, and how to delay things.
"I guess it's really hard for me to be so busy with government affairs every night!" Emperor Chongzhao snorted and tapped his nails nonchalantly.
"The old aunt in the Prince Consort's room who has been favored for many years and gave birth to two sons and a daughter registered under the name of Princess Yongchang, I just heard that she is the cousin of Princess Beijing?
"Since we are all real relatives, you can say whatever you want. I am not a tyrant who won't let anyone say a word."
Prince Consort Yongchang shuddered, his knees softened, and he knelt down:
“I have nothing else to say!
"There is His Majesty above and the court laws below. This is not my job, so how can I have any say in it?
“I am extremely terrified!
"As for my concubine, she is just a servant in a deep house. How dare she establish any relationship with the prince's family?
"The friendship between me and the King of the North is nothing more than a friendship between colleagues that we have built after serving in the same palace for decades! There is nothing more!
"I beg your Majesty to give me your understanding!"
Emperor Chongzhao laughed softly: "Prince consort Yongchang is not very courageous, I thought..."
He paused deliberately, then let him go and turned to Chang Ying, "What's going on? Why haven't you presented the rewards I asked you to prepare for the ministers?"
Chang Ying bowed hurriedly, humming and whispering: "The Imperial Concubine saw it, got angry, and smashed it all...
"Saying that Your Majesty is unfair..."
Emperor Chongzhao flew into a rage and slammed the table, saying, "How am I unfair? Didn't I punish their family?"
"But the Concubine's father was once harmed and had his legs broken... I heard that it was also... that the horse was startled by the people following him...
"Inside and outside, the imperial concubine's father was not only responsible for the mission, but also suffered from the crime of being an accomplice to a relative, and was almost killed by the accomplice...
"Of course the Imperial Concubine is not happy about this... Who would be happy about this?!"
Chang Ying's voice was not loud, but everyone below was trembling with fear and holding their breath. The hall was spacious and the echo was excellent, so everyone could hear his words clearly.
King Yong sneered again, holding his broken arm and twisting his mouth: "There are indeed countless shameless people in this world!
"If there had been no Dalang from the Wang family, who knows how many families' wealth and splendor would have been gone by now!
"Now I am only a fifth-rank official, but I am an eyesore to some people. They are following me and trying to harm me!
"It's true, most of the chivalrous ones are butchers..."
Emperor Chongzhao sighed again and again, and finally couldn't help but stop him at this point: "Eleventh brother! Stop talking."
King Yong said carelessly: "It's like a thorn in my throat, I can't feel relieved until I get it out! If you don't want to listen, then don't ask me to come!"
He then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, are you alright? I will take my leave now!"
He even looked around and said, "Uncle Jing, I see you can't stand anymore, can I help you back?"
King Jing couldn't wait to hear it, and he trembled and nodded, "The milk tea is good, I like it. Your Majesty, please give me a recipe and send it to me!"
Holding King Yong's hand, the old man and the child just left.
gone!
Others also wanted to leave, especially Prince Shen and Prince Xiaoyao.
But Emperor Chongzhao's words made both men unable to move: "My two brothers, please walk slowly and listen to what is going on below.
"When we get back, I'll set some rules for your two houses. Don't hand over foreign officials to us easily!
"They may not be good to you. Who knows, they may be planning to push you to the front to block the knife, and hide in the back to eat the meat!"
Prince Xiaoyao turned around tremblingly and asked cautiously: "Brother, since the Jia family's confession mentioned the wet nurse in my house, do you want to take her in for questioning?
“I know nothing about that letter.
“If my royal brother wants to check my house, please send someone to come back with me in a moment.
"My wet nurse was assigned to me by my mother, and she is in charge of all the daily affairs in my house.
"I never thought that she had any strange thoughts. I didn't know..."
Seeing the strong desire in his eyes, Emperor Chongzhao's heart moved, and he remembered that last time a female corpse was pulled out of the back door of his mansion, and Chen Duo came back to check and said:
"Strange, it wasn't Master Nineteen who beat him to death. He just said that he made a mistake in serving and was beaten. He didn't make it through the night and died."
So, what Xiao Nineteen said was actually hinting to himself: This wet nurse is the breakthrough point?
Emperor Chongzhao deliberately hesitated for a moment, but still nodded:
"Since it was given to my nineteenth brother by Concubine Song, why not let Chen Duo invite her to the palace and ask in front of Concubine Song.
"This person has been out of the palace with my Nineteenth Brother for such a long time, it is not possible that she knows everything Concubine Song said and did about her.
"If she is really a traitorous slave, please ask Concubine Song to kill her personally, which will also be a way for my nineteenth brother to vent his anger!"
King Xiaoyao was overjoyed, his eyes almost immediately turned red, and he bowed to the ground: "Yes! Your Majesty, you are right! Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
So eager...
Emperor Chongzhao felt a little softened when he saw Prince Xiaoyao, who was not as tall as Ying.
"Well, let's do it this way."
The conversation ended here, and everyone understood and raised their hands to greet and leave.
Emperor Chongzhao smiled and gave Changying a milk tea recipe. That was the end.
