Chapter 52

As soon as the words fell, the people in the hall with different expressions just now turned their eyes to Chu Yu!

Princess Yu belongs to Chu Yu, even though many people in the capital know that Princess Yu is nothing but famous, but now that Chu Yu is sitting in the hall, no one dares to speak lightly.

Chu Yu still looked indifferent, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him, even when Lin Yiman mentioned Su Youning, his face was never moved.

Not knowing when the wine glass in his hand was replaced by a teacup, Chu Yu took a sip and put the teacup on the low table in front of him.

In the next second, dark and deep eyes fell on Lin Yiman in the center of the hall.

Lin Yiman only felt that a cold gaze like a sword was oppressing her, and she couldn't stand it anymore!
She just said the name of Princess Yu Su Youning and regretted it!

Lin Yiman forgot that Chu Yu was above the main hall, and she could not help but think that there would be no good days for Lin's family when he accused the people in his mansion so bluntly.

Among the officials, Lin Ze, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was really restless. He didn't want his daughter to be in the limelight at the beginning, but the wife of the family said that the opportunity was rare, and now it hurt their family.

Besides Lin Ze and Su Zhixing who were restless, although he was sitting calmly, his heart was already in a state of anxiety.

The only thing he was lucky about was that Qin Su went to Linglong Temple in the past few days. Qin Su was not ordered by imperial edict. Qianqiu Banquet only had to report in advance that he was unwell so he didn’t have to come. Otherwise, Qin Su might have shed tears when he encountered such a scene. .

Shen Moli of the Arch Guard Division was not much better, the palace was full of spies from the East Factory, he didn't dare to walk around casually, and he was completely panicked when he heard Su Youning's name.

It took him some effort to stop those who were secretly admonishing Su Zhixing. His people found out that Su Youning was not in harmony with Chu Lian, the Fifth Highness of the dynasty, and that being incompatible with Chu Lian meant that he was incompatible with Concubine Ling and Empress Lu of the harem. Also forged sorrow and resentment.

Shen Moli wanted to find an opportunity to remind Su Youning, but she didn't come out of Yu Palace every day.

Today's Qianqiu Banquet, Shen Moli made preparations and wanted to meet Su Youning to remind her not to have any grudges with the people in the harem. Unexpectedly, Su Youning fell into the trap of the people in the harem first.

The extremely dignified Empress Lu raised an imperceptible smile on her lips, but then frowned and asked the emperor in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, although Yi Chenqie thinks this matter is strange, but it involves Prince Yu's Mansion, it is better to let it go, and this performance will end here."

The emperor was slightly taken aback when he heard the words Princess Yu.

He didn't know why such things could still be involved in Prince Yu's Mansion, because Chu Yu deliberately favored Su Youning who had never met.

But Empress Lu used this trick of retreating before he opened his mouth, which made it difficult for him to just open his mouth and let it go.

Concubine Ling staged a scene of sisterly love when the incident happened.

At this moment, she was standing beside Queen Lu as a gesture of concern, and immediately comforted her in a low voice after hearing this.

"Sister, how could this matter be settled like this? Today is my sister's [-]-year-old day. If this matter happened on such an important day, we must investigate it thoroughly. If Miss Lin is lying, it is an ominous sign. We must plan early. Whether it's praying for blessings or offering sacrifices, we must get rid of this bad luck. If Miss Lin's words are correct and someone is indeed framing her, then it is a serious crime to harm the mother of the country. Sister must not be soft-hearted!"

Empress Lu sighed slightly, looking like you were right but I was powerless, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking at the emperor.

Concubine Ling's words directly turned this matter into a major event in the Southern Dynasty. If no one framed it, it would be fine. If someone really caused trouble, they would be charged with harming the mother of the country.

Is this to put people to death?

The emperor sullenly.

"What Ling Guifei said is too exaggerated, but since the matter has happened, we must find out."

The emperor is in a dilemma. Now that all the officials, wives, and relatives of the emperor are present in the main hall, it is really inappropriate to take sides directly.

Besides, the imperial concubine Ling said so, if she kept this matter covered up like this, it might hurt the queen's heart.

"Come here, bring Princess Yu up for questioning."

Concubine Ling shook the hand of Empress Lu, and the two heard the emperor's order and shook each other's hands, tacitly waiting for a good show.

Eunuch An, who was next to Empress Lu, took the order and led the maid to the side hall with a flick of his whisk.

Ruyi originally listened to Su Youning's order and checked the program and list with the musicians in the main hall. When Lin Yiman came on stage, she was secretly happy that this errand was finally about to be completed.

But there was an accident above the main hall, and she found that something was wrong, so she quickly ran to the side hall and told Su Youning about the matter.

Su Youning was very curious, she obviously only twisted the hem of her skirt twice with a needle, why the hem of her skirt was torn.

"Princess, what should I do?"

Ruyi was so anxious that she was just one step away from completing this tricky job, but unfortunately she was framed by someone and became the chief culprit for destroying other people's clothes.

Su Youning pursed her lips, and took Ruyi's hand to comfort her.

"Don't panic, we can't escape in the palace now, it's better to face it calmly, the emperor and empress will definitely send someone to send me to the main hall, then I'll see what's going on!"

Ruyi's eyes turned red, she thought about it and said it out loud.

"If the Miss of the Lin family believes that the princess did it, it's better for the servant to go out and admit that the servant tore the dress of the Miss Lin family. It's better than the princess, you were framed for no reason."

When Su Youning heard this, his face sank, and he said sharply.

"Nonsense, you know this is not just about tearing clothes."

Ruyi was puzzled, and shook her head in fear seeing Su Youning's expression like this.

Su Youning sighed, slowed down his tone, and explained.

"First, you have been to the main hall since Miss Qin's performance, and no one will believe you when you confess your guilt; second, this matter was clearly framed by someone, and the goal was that I had nothing to do with you; third, you thought it was just a broken clothes Is it? This matter is related to the Queen's Qianqiu Banquet, if this incident happened, it would be a crime of sabotaging the palace banquet and disrespecting the Queen, and it would be suspected of cursing the Mother of the Southern Dynasties."

Ruyi's little face was completely wrinkled after what she said, and now she dared not act rashly, if she failed to plead guilty and harmed the princess, it would be a big crime, she waved her hand.

"The servant is not reckless anymore, everything is obeyed by the princess."

The master and servant were talking, and Eunuch An had already led people into the side hall.

Seeing Su Youning holding the hand of a servant and saying something, Eunuch An flicked his whisk, and his shrill voice sounded.

"Hey, Princess Yu still has the time to talk to her servants. Something happened in the hall. The emperor and empress ordered the servants to come and take you for questioning."

Seeing Su Youning's calm face, a trace of sarcasm flashed across Eunuch An's eyebrows, and he elongated the end of his voice.

"Please!"

Su Youning was disgusted in her heart.

It really was an eunuch, the voice itself was sharp and thin, coupled with the tone of yin and yang, it was really unpleasant, but no matter how unhappy Su Youning was, he didn't show it on his face, and said calmly.

"Then Mr. Lao will lead the way."

Eunuch An brought Su Youning and Ruyi into the hall together.

Su Youning lowered her eyes slightly, and seeing Lin Yiman kneeling on the ground, she walked up to Lin Yiman in a calm manner, knelt down dignifiedly and said respectfully.

"You Ning sees the emperor, sees the empress."
