Chapter 48

The emperor looked at Zhao Chen and asked in a long tone: "Prince, what's going on?" โ€

Zhao Chen made a big salute, knelt on the ground and said, "What my father wants to ask, what my son wants to ask." He looked at the princess, "Ninth sister, is it your sister-in-law who has upset you somewhere, why do you slander her like this?" โ€

The ninth princess didn't like to listen to it: "What do you mean by me slandering her?" Father, what the son said is true, the concubine also painted a portrait of the crown princess, secretly hidden in the study, and was discovered by me. She sneered, "Now this painting is in the East Palace, if my father doesn't believe it, find someone to search it." โ€

The emperor said lightly: "What kind of system does it become to search the East Palace for no reason?" โ€

The Ninth Princess frowned and said, "But Father, how can you prove that your son is not lying if you don't search the palace?" And it's not for no reason, didn't you say that you are the master of your sons, and you are biased! โ€

This is the first person who dares to really say the emperor's partiality, in the past, everyone just thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, and the minions listening next to him were surprised.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said in a rambling voice: "Come on, go to the East Palace to find out, see if there is any painting that the princess said, don't alarm others, do it carefully and cleanly." โ€

The princess was satisfied: "Father, I still remember that the scroll of that painting is tied with a blue 'color' belt, just look for it." โ€

The emperor said: "Did you hear it?"

The minions were ordered to retreat, but Zhao Chen was still kneeling in place, his face expressionless.

The ninth princess looked at her brother, who was originally closest to her, like this, her heart was painful and hateful, and she snorted and turned her head away.

But the emperor opened his mouth: "Don't kneel the prince, if this is true, it's not your fault, you can get up." โ€

Zhao Chen hugged his fists and said: "Erchen is still kneeling, Erchen is willing to guarantee with the head of the item, the princess and the concubine have no 'private' relationship, but I don't know if the concubine unilaterally loves the princess." Father, after all, the concubine was the prime minister's 'door' guest before, and he knew the princess earlier than the princess. โ€

The ninth princess said: "Brother Prince, don't quibble, father, you can send the horse over to see if what Erchen said is right." โ€

The emperor glanced at the princess coldly and said, "Jing'an stand up and speak." โ€

The ninth princess had no choice but to stand aside.

"Send Su Juma here, I want to personally inquire about this matter." The emperor instructed the old eunuch beside him.

The old eunuch went down to deliver the decree, and Zhao Chen glanced at him without a trace, and no one noticed.

In the East Palace, Meng Yuan was basking in the sun, but the sun finally came out in winter, and it was warm, and the good mood was destroyed.

A group of servants from the emperor's side suddenly appeared in the East Palace, searched room by room, looking for a painting scroll tied with a blue 'color' belt.

"What do you want to find that painting?" Meng Yuan, who was pregnant, walked up to the minions and said indifferently.

The minions knelt down and saluted: "See the crown princess." โ€

Meng Yuan said lazily: "Get up." She took a scroll tied with a blue 'colored' strap from the maid's hand, "But looking for this one?" โ€

The minions looked up and said happily, "This is the painting." โ€

Meng Yuan threw it directly.

The minion caught it in fear.

"Take it, don't go back rashly, search carefully, and find out if there are any paintings you are looking for in this East Palace. After Meng Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left, accompanied by a cold snort, which made people tremble when he heard it.

The minions looked at each other, and in the end, they didn't search for anything, and left directly.

When the slaves sent out came back with the scrolls to report, Zhao Chen was still kneeling, and no one would listen to him.

The slave took the scroll and knelt down in front of him, holding the scroll with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, I found the painting." โ€

The Ninth Princess looked delighted: "Yes, that's it, Father, you believe me now, right?" โ€

The emperor glanced at Zhao Chen and said, "Present it." โ€

The slave took the scroll and bowed down, opened the painting in front of the emperor, and the emperor and the princess were stunned.

This painting is no one else, it is Zhao Chen, the painting is probably the one Meng Yuan saw at the reception banquet when he was a child, he looks extremely young, his temperament is not as calm as now, and the scene is also at that time

"That's the evidence you're talking about?" The emperor looked at the princess and said, "I look at it, but it proves that the relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess is harmonious." โ€

The Ninth Princess rushed over and snatched the painting, checked it up and down: "Impossible, it's not this painting, it must be found correctly, go search again!" She scolded the minion.

The servant looked at the emperor, and the emperor snorted coldly: "Jing'an, you've made enough nonsense." โ€

The ninth princess cried and said: "Father, it's not like this, it's really not like this, the slaves and maids of the princess's mansion can testify to Erchen, and Erchen has really seen that painting!" โ€

Coincidentally, as soon as she finished saying this, someone reported that Su Yuma had brought it, and the emperor said lightly: "Let him come in." After a pause, he looked at Zhao Chen, "The prince got up, he was seen by outsiders, and he was a joke." โ€

Zhao Chen stood up, because he was still a little unsteady after kneeling for a long time, the emperor sighed and said, "Come on, give me a seat." โ€

So Zhao Chen sat down, and the ninth princess stood there with red circles under her eyes, her expression stunned.

After Su Jichen came in, he first made a big salute, and then stood up with the emperor's permission.

"Su Pony." The emperor said slowly, "Do you know what the princess said to me today?" โ€

Su Jichen looked at the princess, hesitated for a moment and said, "Weichen knows." โ€

"Oh? Tell me about it. โ€

Su Jichen knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Wechen has neglected the princess during this time, and Wechen deserves to die, but the princess always assumes that Wechen and the princess have a 'private' relationship, Wechen really can't help it, in order not to quarrel with the princess, he moved to the study to live, but the princess thinks that Wechen is a thief, and Wechen has nothing to say." โ€

The emperor frowned and looked at the princess: "Jing'an, is what the concubine said true?" โ€

The ninth princess cried and said, "Father, anyway, you just don't believe in your son, right?" โ€

The emperor said: "You have no evidence for such a big event, so you can't make a fool of yourself." โ€

The ninth princess suddenly said: "Father, wait a minute, can my father send the second emperor brother here?" โ€

"Yin'er?" The emperor said unhappily.

The ninth princess knelt down and said, "Father, the second emperor brother knows everything about this matter, and the father and the emperor called the second emperor brother to ask!" โ€

The emperor looked at Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen said lightly: "Father, as for why King Xian discussed this matter with the princess, I hope that my father will ask for clarity for his sons." โ€

The emperor pressed the corner of his forehead, and Zhao Yin was transmitted.

Zhao Yin came in and knew what was going on when he saw the posture at the scene, and after saluting, he said, "Ninth sister, what's wrong, crying like a tearful person." โ€

The ninth princess said as if she had seen a life-saving straw: "Second Emperor Brother, tell your father quickly, whether the crown princess and Su Fuma have a 'private' relationship!" โ€

Zhao Yin looked at Su Jichen in a reflexive 'shot', and Su Jichen frowned, as if he was enduring a great grievance.

Zhao Yin was silent for a while, and said: "Father, the minister doesn't dare to say anything about this matter, but whether Su Juma loves the crown princess or not, shouldn't it be up to the parties to confront him?" Now only Su Juma is here, isn't it not appropriate? โ€

Zhao Chen frowned immediately when he heard this, but Zhao Yin just smiled.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then went to the East Palace to summon Meng Yuan.

When Meng Yuan walked into the hall, he looked radiant and very beautiful. Even the emperor had to admit that this girl did have the capital to bring disaster to the country and the people.

Meng Yuan saluted the emperor respectfully, and after getting up, he looked at Zhao Chen: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness." โ€

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Father has something to ask you, just say it directly." โ€

Su Jichen hadn't seen Meng Yuan for a long time, and now when he saw her like this, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off it.

The emperor was already observing them, and when he saw Su Jichen like this, he was also a little suspicious of this matter.

"Crown Princess, the princess said that you have a 'private' affair with Su Yuma, but is there such a thing?" The emperor opened the 'door' and asked in the mountains.

Su Jichen lowered his head when he heard this, looking a little embarrassed and a little ashamed, this expression fell in the eyes of the ninth princess, and he really wanted to go down and fight with Meng Yuan.

Meng Yuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Father, if you say that the concubine has a 'private' relationship with Su Yuma, it is absolutely impossible. She paused for a moment, and said before the ninth princess retorted, "It's just that the concubine doesn't know if Su Juma loves the concubine." If it's just Su Juma unilaterally admiring the concubine, but the princess says that the concubine has a 'private' relationship with the concubine, then she really wronged the concubine. โ€

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Jichen, whose face turned pale.

Meng Yuan continued: "Su Yuma, what do you think? โ€

Su Jichen looked at Meng Yuan, his eyes were a little obsessive, and after a while, he spoke: "Your Majesty, the Emperor forgives your sins." He knelt down, bowed his head, and said, "The crown princess is right...... Before Weichen and the princess got married, he was a 'doorman' guest in the Prime Minister's mansion, and at that time he had the opportunity to see the princess's demeanor and fell in love for a while. But since Weichen and the princess got married, and the princess also married His Royal Highness the prince, Weichen didn't dare to think about it at all, and loved the princess wholeheartedly, the emperor Mingjian! โ€

"You love me?" The ninth princess laughed at herself, "Donkey, you 'touch' and 'touch' your conscience, do you really love me?" โ€

Su Jichen said eagerly: "That's natural, I naturally love the princess, why is the princess always stubborn and never willing to listen to the truth of others?" โ€

Zhao Chen, who had been watching the play, sneered, this Su Jichen finally got the hang of it and knew what to do, he was really stupid and didn't look like an official before.

The princess frowned, a little hesitant, the emperor saw this, leaned on the dragon chair, and said coldly: "Jing'an, are you satisfied?" โ€

The ninth princess bit her lip: "Father forgives the sin and let the father see the joke." โ€

The emperor said: "Father's love for you can't be used as your vexatious capital, you go back and think about it behind closed doors, if you commit it again, go back to the fiefdom with the horse!" โ€

The ninth princess stubbornly said, "Erchen knows." โ€

The emperor looked at Su Jichen again: "Su Jima, no matter what the princess is, you should be accommodating, and you must not be like before when you go back." This time, I believe you, if I find out that there is a fake ...... in the future" His sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and said with a light smile, "You all know what will happen to the crime of bullying the king." โ€

The emperor smiled, but they didn't know the bottom of their hearts, and when everyone was about to retreat, Zhao Chen suddenly spoke again.

"It just so happens that there is a happy event before the minister has time to tell his father, so he took this opportunity to say it." Zhao Chen stood up and said.

The emperor looked over and said, "What's the matter?" โ€

Zhao Chen saluted and said: "Father, the crown princess has been pregnant for more than a month, because the fetus is unstable, she has not told her father in time, and I hope that my father will forgive her sins." โ€

The emperor immediately smiled: "Oh? Is there such a thing? Very good, very good! The prince is not young, he should have had a child a long time ago, the princess, you have made a lot of contributions, reward! โ€

The ninth princess looked at the scene in front of her and felt that she was very ridiculous.

The person she hated made trouble with her father, not only was she not scolded at all, but she was rewarded, she is really the most ridiculous person in the world!

Zhao Yin frowned and looked at Meng Yuan's stomach, as if he wanted to see a hole there, Su Jichen's expression was not very good, as if he had lost his soul, after several people retreated, they walked together in the corridor of the palace carved fence 'jade', and no one spoke first.

When they were about to part ways, Zhao Chen spoke up again.

"Today's business, loneliness will not be just settled." Zhao Chen turned his back to the Ninth Princess, "Princess Jing'an, from now on, you and I, brother and sister, will be cut off." After finishing speaking, he took a step and disappeared with Meng Yuan at the end of the corridor of the majestic palace.

The ninth princess stood in place in despair, Su Jichen was worried about Meng Yuan's pregnancy, and she didn't bother to comfort her, but Zhao Yin looked at it.

"Hate?" Zhao Yin said in a low voice, "Ah Jiu, you are too stupid, do you think he is still your third brother?" He is the crown prince, and he is not your third brother for a long time. โ€

The ninth princess looked in a trance.

Zhao Yin continued: "If I were you, I would definitely not be able to swallow this breath, but you are too stupid, how do you want the second brother to speak for you?" We can't do anything without evidence, you have to learn to hold on to the evidence. He lowered his head to the princess's ear, "Isn't the colt right next to you?" Don't be a man like that. What you have is the opportunity to seize the evidence that they have a 'private' affair, just if you want to or not. After speaking, Zhao Yin left quickly.

When Su Jichen saw that they were all gone, he went to the princess and said, "Princess, let's go back too." โ€

The ninth princess looked at him and said, "Do you really love me?" โ€

Su Jichen immediately said: "Naturally." โ€

The ninth princess smiled: "Then if the crown princess stands in front of you and asks you to take her to 'elope' and give up the glory and wealth here, will you go?" โ€

Su Jichen paused, just this one pause, the ninth princess knew the answer.

"You men, there's really nothing good." She said disdainfully, and walked away.

Looking at the sad back of the ninth princess, Su Jichen suddenly blamed himself a little, although he minded the name of the "soft rice king" that the princess brought him, but she was just a 'girl' child, what could she do?

However, Su Jichen really underestimated the 'female' person, and the 'female' person went crazy, and he was really able to destroy the 'woman' quietly.

It's just that it's not someone else who can't ruin Miรจ, but yourself. I580
