Chapter 316: The Eighth Prince is punished
Duan Yanran didn't speak, but looked at the Eighth Prince silently, she suddenly laughed, her smile was very desperate, her eyes were red as blood, if her eyes could kill, she thought that the Eighth Prince had died in her hands thousands of times.
"Your Majesty, Yanran is willing to swear with her life, this matter is related to the Eighth Prince, and I ask the Emperor to administer justice for me."
The prime minister was about to open his mouth to defend the eighth prince, and the emperor on the throne said in a deep voice, "There is something strange about this matter, come here, present the jade pendant in Duan Yanran's hand, I want to see how things are today, but if this matter is clarified, someone will have to pay the price, what do you think?" ”
"What the emperor said is very true, those who do wrong things must be condemned." The civil official on the side echoed.
The emperor on the throne pondered for a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at King Zhennan and said, "King Zhennan, if this matter is found out to be Duan Yanran's fault, what are you going to do with it?" ”
"Erchen is willing to bear the responsibility, but I believe that she must be innocent."
The emperor heard him say this, but he didn't smile, and said to the eighth prince on the side, "What about you? ”
The eighth prince felt ashamed, but at this time, she didn't want the emperor to see what she meant, so she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Erchen is willing to bear the responsibility." ”
"Very well, remember what you said, I will give you an explanation for today's events."
After speaking, he said to Gonggong Jiang beside him, "Present the promise in Duan Yanran's hand and let me see it for myself." ”
"No."
Gonggong Jiang walked down from the emperor's side, he slowly walked to Duan Yanran's side and said, "Miss Duan, please give the jade pendant to the slave." ”
Duan Yanran nodded, and then put the jade pendant in his hand into Gonggong Jiang's hand, "There is Gonggong Lao." ”
Gonggong Jiang smiled and put the jade pendant in his hand to the emperor, the emperor weighed the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly said in a cold voice, "Yuan Qingshu, are you guilty?" ”
The eighth prince was puzzled, "The younger brother doesn't know what is wrong, and please speak up to the imperial brother!" ”
The emperor said coldly, "This jade pendant was chosen by you when you were born, how can it be fake, and now you are full of loopholes, what is going on in this matter?" It seems that Duan Yanran's matter is indeed related to you, but I shouldn't believe you! ”
The eighth prince hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, this jade pendant can be faked, she must have been instigated to wronged me by someone when she said this, is the imperial brother willing to believe her, but not willing to believe me?" ”
"In this matter, I don't think there is a need to verify it, Prime Minister Duan doesn't protect his own daughter, but he protects you, which really makes me feel incredible, if you hadn't robbed the people's daughter, could it be that Prime Minister Duan personally sent his daughter to a place like a brothel in the Qinglou? Do you believe this, anyway? ”
The emperor said in a cold voice, Prime Minister Duan, who originally wanted to speak for the eighth prince, was suddenly silenced, the emperor's attention is now on himself, no matter what, it is better to be cautious, otherwise some things are really difficult to deal with.
The Eighth Prince hurriedly defended, "Brother Huang's matter has nothing to do with me, how can you listen to her one-sided words in this matter?" ”
The emperor said in a deep voice, "The evidence is now in front of you, you don't want to believe that this jade pendant was given to you by me, how can you throw it away at will now?" Is it good for Duan Yanran to poke this matter out, if a woman loses her innocence, there is only one way to die, don't you still understand it to this day? ”
Hearing the emperor say this, everyone has their own considerations about the current matter in their hearts, some secretly support King Zhennan, and some also sweat for the eighth prince in their hearts.
"How does the emperor want to deal with this matter?" Dali Siqing on the side asked puzzledly.
"From today on, the eighth prince is grounded in the palace, and he is not allowed to go anywhere within a month, this matter is handed over to Dali Temple Qing to find out, remember, this matter must be strictly investigated, and no possibility is allowed to be spared!"
Dali Siqing was in danger, he was very worried, but there was no reason to retreat at this time, he thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely handle this matter." ”
At this point, the emperor has paid attention to this matter, and Prime Minister Duan is a little worried that this matter will affect the pond fish, so he didn't speak for a long time, and I don't know how long it took, he finally heard the emperor say, "Scatter the dynasty, Duan Yanran stay." ”
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."
The ministers dispersed, Duan Yanran was left alone, and the Nine Emperor Princes walked up to Duan Yanran and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, my father won't do anything to you, there must be some questions I want to ask you, just tell you the truth, don't worry too much about other things." ”
Duan Yanran said gratefully, "Thank you, Nine Emperor Princes. ”
King Zhennan glanced at Duan Yanran, and then left the Jinluan Palace with the Nine Emperor Princes beside him, as for what the emperor and Duan Yanran said, the two of them didn't know.
The Nine Emperors were puzzled, "It's a pity, I thought I could drive Yuan Qingshu back to the border this time, but I didn't expect my father to just punish him like this, it's really a pity." ”
Yuan Chufeng said indifferently, "Do you think that my father really doesn't know anything about this matter?" He was very clear in his heart, but he didn't tell us his own thoughts, the Eighth Prince is not so easy to deal with, otherwise why do you think that for so many years, why has the position of the Queen Mother not been shaken, and if you want to shake the position of the Queen Mother and the Eighth Prince, you can only deal with Prime Minister Duan for the time being, and other things will be talked about later. ”
Hearing Yuan Chufeng's words, the Nine Emperor Princes still understood a little in his heart, he nodded, and said with emotion, "So that's the case, I didn't think it through, and I didn't know that these things were like this." ”
After a while, when she arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, Duan Yanran walked out of the palace gate, and the Nine Emperor Princes saw her lonely face, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't it that my father is embarrassed for you?" Why is your face so bad? ”
Duan Yanran shook her head, "The emperor just tested me and asked some questions, he didn't embarrass me much." ”
Hearing this, the Nine Emperor Princes finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so good, I'm really worried about what my father will do to you, but fortunately you're fine." ”
"It's not too early, go home first." Yuan Chufeng thought about the warbler in the house, and secretly said in her heart, she must have been waiting for a long time.
"Okay."
The three of them left Xuanwumen in two carriages, the Nine Emperor Princes and Yuan Chufeng were in a carriage, the Nine Emperor Princes thought about it, and said, "Brother Huang, is it not good for Miss Duan to be in your mansion now, after all, you are going to get married with Liuying, how did you arrange it?" ”
"I have asked Xuan Ling to find a courtyard near Hanzhou and arranged guards to guard it, let Duan Yanran move over after today, Prime Minister Duan must be unwilling, Duan Yanran has helped us speak now, Prime Minister Duan must think that she is a person with us."
