The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 55 The quickest and best way to search
Chu Yu's unwavering tone made Su Youning blush.

She knew that Chu Yu wanted to find out the truth so much because he wanted to find out the troublemaker behind it and had nothing to do with her.

Chu Yu must have guessed that the person behind it was related to Empress Lu. If the real face of Empress Lu was exposed in front of everyone, even if it had a slight impact on her generous and benevolent mask, it would be Chu Yu's profit.

But Su Youning still couldn't help but feel a little turmoil in his heart.

In her previous life, she seemed to be ignorant of the world, but in the three years in Shen's residence, no one knew the grievances in her heart, and Shen Moli did not even say a word for her.

In this life, when she and Chu Yu met like this, they only had hatred for each other in their hearts, but when they agreed with each other, they became grasshoppers on the same boat.

Su Youning knew that Chu Yu was not simple.

But at this moment, she also saw clearly that if she could cooperate with Chu Yu, she would be able to figure out many things that she couldn't find out on the surface, and it would be more helpful to protect the Su family in the future.

After hearing Chu Yu's words, the emperor and empress Lu couldn't help but sullen at the same time.

Half a quarter of an hour has passed, and the situation of the Empress Dowager is still unknown. It would be against filial piety to keep entangled in this matter in the hall.

Chu Yu had a cold face, showing no intention of giving in, ignoring the emperor's displeasure, and said coldly.

"I also invite the ladies and maidservants who went to the side hall today to stand on the main hall."

The young ladies were startled, and looked at the emperor and empress Lu at the same time. Seeing that they hadn't spoken, they walked forward slowly from various places.

Chu Yu turned the wheelchair to face the ladies, and his eyes suddenly fell on Lu Pingting.

Lu Pingting didn't know why Chu Yu suddenly looked at her, but she couldn't help but feel panicked after doing something wrong, and quickly lowered her eyes.

There was a clear expression between Chu Yu's brows.

"I think that the real perpetrators don't have time to throw away the tools in their hands. At this moment, the ladies should go to the side hall with their maidservants."

The emperor was puzzled and asked.

"Why go to the side hall?"

Su Youning seemed to have suddenly realized the method Chu Yu would use, but she couldn't believe it, that method was too rude, no one would agree to it on such an occasion and at such a timing.

Chu Yu said loudly without hesitation.

"Search, this is the fastest and best way."

When Concubine Ling heard this, she couldn't sit still before the emperor and queen could speak, she stood up and reprimanded her.

"Nonsense, today's performers are not some actors and dancers, all of them are daughters of ministers, and even relatives of the emperor. How can you search them with just one sentence?"

Su Youning stood beside Chu Yu, and she couldn't help raising her eyebrows after hearing what Concubine Ling said.

This drama is really exactly the same as Lu Pingting in the side hall.

Sure enough, in the next second, Ling Guifei's words angered the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the ministers and wives.

Prime Minister Lu's eyes signaled his followers.

Someone immediately understood the meaning, got up and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Yu Wang's move is really inappropriate. Today is the empress's [-]-year-old day. It is ominous if there is a mistake. If the body search is carried out in Daxing, it will not become the laughing stock of the streets and alleys if it spreads."

Empress Lu also showed a sad face at the right time, and couldn't help stretching out her hand and rubbing the center of her brows.

Chu Yu looked at Empress Lu's appearance and heard the discussions of those around her, and couldn't help but sneer.

"If you don't search the body, then all the ladies present today except Princess Yu may be sinners who intend to murder the mother of the country."

The words "sinner who intended to murder the mother of the country" shocked the faces of the ladies, and their corresponding families also began to hesitate.

The emperor prefers Chu Yu, he is so aggressive and has not seen the emperor being dissatisfied at all, he will not stop this matter easily.

And this hat was thrown out by Concubine Ling first, so she has nothing to say at this moment.

Chu Yu was waiting for this moment.

If he had spoken out to suppress this matter when Su Youning was first accused, the emperor and empress might really have nothing to do with it.

But he took advantage of Empress Lu and Concubine Ling's psychology of wanting to make a fuss about this matter, and waited for them to put a big hat on the matter first, and then came to distinguish the matter aloud, so that they could not retreat.

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a calm look, and his tone was indifferent but harsh.

"The empress is so resistant, it must be because she has two faces!"

"When the criminal was one of my Chu Yu's, you said that she murdered the mother of the country, but now that she is innocent, you want to let this matter go like this? If there is such a truth in the world, it will be used as a laughing stock by others!"

Empress Lu was slightly taken aback by her words. Although Chu Yu was dissatisfied with her, she was rarely so aggressive. Today is really abnormal!
Chu Yu seldom talked much in front of Su Youning, this time Su Youning was very surprised.

He always described Su Youning as being eloquent, but now in Su Youning's eyes, Chu Yu is the real eloquent and scheming.

Concubine Ling's face was very ugly. She was so humiliated by Chu Yu in public, but she couldn't refute it. It was only because she was too impatient about this matter that she fell into Chu Yu's way.

The emperor had a headache, just when everyone was at a stalemate.

Among the ladies standing behind Chu Yu, a crisp voice sounded.

"The emperor, the queen, and the courtiers are willing to go to the side hall for a body search as His Royal Highness Yu said, in order to prove their innocence."

It's Qin Kexin!

Su Youning looked sideways slightly, and looked at Qin Kexin who was standing in front with some surprise. She didn't expect that there would really be a young lady who would come out to agree with Chu Yu.

Seeing Qin Kexin approaching, Zhao Pingping was ready to make a move. She had thought so for a long time, but she was afraid that getting ahead would bring trouble to the Zhao family. Now that someone was leading the charge, she immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

"To prove my innocence, my courtier is also willing to search the side hall."

Some people are willing to be searched, and those who are not will become suspicious people.

Once the psychological defense line is defeated, it is difficult to rebuild. More and more young ladies are willing to go to the side hall.

The opposing voices among the officials also gradually disappeared. After all, no one wanted their daughter to be a suspect in this matter.

Lu Pingting's face was pale and she couldn't stand up.

The maid Tao Xiang quickly stepped forward and reached out to support her, and when she grasped her wrist, she felt a sharp object in her lady's wide sleeve.

Seeing that no one stopped him, and knowing Chu Yu's temperament, the emperor simply waved his hand and said helplessly.

"Jinxi, take someone with you, don't hurt anyone."

Jin Xi took the order and took a group of ladies and maidservants to the side hall.

On the way to the side hall, Lu Pingting and Tao Xiang exchanged glances. Tao Xiang knew that she had only one way, so she had to carefully accept the pair of pocket scissors that Lu Pingting handed over.

Before reaching the side hall, Tao Xiang broke her heart and knelt down on the corridor leading to the side hall, crying.

"Miss saved me, it was my servant, it was my servant who accidentally harmed Miss Lin."

Jin Xi brought Tao Xiang and the others back to the main hall, Tao Xiang only said that Lin Yiman was disrespectful to her young lady, and that's why she had the intention of harming others, but she didn't expect that it would lead to a big disaster.

Chu Yu looked coldly at Tao Xiang, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to confess her sins.

He only overlooked one point about this matter, some people would really risk their lives to pay for some people's lives.

Lu Pingting also shed tears and knelt on the ground at the right time, saying that she did not teach her servants well and made a big mistake, and asked the emperor and queen to punish her.

But with her status, who would really punish her?

It's just that Taoxiang is poor, and she is finally punished with fifty battles and executed in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as an example to others.

The executioner got the instruction from above: Taoxiang cannot be kept!

She lost her life after suffering [-] boards.
