As soon as the crown prince was about to explain, the prime minister said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it is Yuan Liang, the dog. In order to cover up his fault, he bribed His Highness the crown prince, three boxes of gold and a tiger charm for me to mobilize my personal guards."

Prime Minister Yuan continued bitterly: "Yuan Liang gave and received privately with the crown prince behind his back. I can forgive Yuan Liang for violating human relations, but I can't forgive him for interfering in state affairs. Therefore, I will reward him with pain before he commits a terrible mistake." I also begged His Royal Highness to return the Tiger Talisman, and His Majesty and I will just pretend that this never happened."

"Master Prime Minister! What nonsense are you talking about? When did I take your tiger charm?" The prince looked flustered and refused to recognize it.

The queen also said: "Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, did you hear it wrong? The crown prince and Yuan Liang are not familiar, so how could he accept bribes? If he really accepted bribes, the blood test on that day would not be the result."

The fifth prince couldn't help muttering: "If you take it, you take it, if you don't take it, you don't take it, brother Huang will deny it because of this?"

Lin Xingwei turned his head silently, and whispered to the fifth prince: "The last one who was so stubborn has already met the King of Hades, how long does the fifth prince think the prince can last?"

The Fifth Prince glared over, "Master Youning, are you cursing the Prince?"

The fourth prince yelled at the fifth prince, "Father is angry, keep silent!"

Prime Minister Yuan tremblingly took out the ledger from his hand and offered it with both hands, "This is the ledger from the minister's mansion. The three boxes of gold are worth 3000 taels in total. Since my son can provide the gold, there is no need to hide the tiger talisman. I have checked it." The cabinet where I locked the Tiger Talisman, the Tiger Talisman is indeed missing."

The servant presented the account book to His Majesty, on which it clearly stated that 3000 taels of gold were given to the East Palace.

His Majesty was furious, threw the account book on the prince's case, and loudly reprimanded: "If you still want to deny it, you can see for yourself!"

The prince was frightened, he pulled the concubine and hurriedly knelt close to him, and said tremblingly: "Father, Yuan Liang did give my son three boxes of gold, but it was not a bribe, it was the son who bought the land."

"What kind of land needs 3000 taels of gold?" The emperor's lungs were about to explode.

"Yes... yes... not only the land, but also a lot of materials for building a house..." Prince Qiqi Ai said.

"Listen to yourself, do you have the confidence to say this?" The emperor roared, "Where is the tiger charm of the Yuan family?!"

All the people in the banquet hall were startled by the emperor's roar, and the queen wanted to explain for the prince, but she was too scared to speak.

The prince continued to speak stubbornly, "I really didn't take the prime minister's tiger charm."

"Do you want me to search the palace?!" His Majesty roared.

The princess defended and said: "Father, is there any misunderstanding about this matter? His Royal Highness does not go out to fight, what do you want the tiger charm for?"

His Majesty continued to scold: "He even hides what he does from me, let you know?"

Prime Minister Yuan said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness took the tiger talisman from Yuan Liang, and he would definitely not put it in the East Palace. I heard that His Royal Highness has a private house outside, and the guards are stricter than that of the Eastern Palace. If His Majesty wants to search, you can go to Check out this private house."

The prince panicked a lot, "Where does my son have a private house, it's just a place for entertainment."

His Majesty frowned, and patted his forehead in astonishment, "If Prime Minister Yuan hadn't told me that you were taking bribes, I wouldn't have known that you were hiding so many things from me. It is said that Ting Weizheng and Doctor Yushi entered the palace, check, let me check , Strict investigation!"

The emperor's angry voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.

"Your Majesty!" The queen also stepped down from the high platform and knelt in front of the prince, "Your Majesty, if the prince is thoroughly investigated, what will others think of the prince!"

The rest of the princes, princesses and sons-in-law also knelt down and begged His Majesty to appease the anger, even Aunt Su and A Ji also knelt in front.

Lin Xingwei looked at Mrs. Hou, and the mother and daughter sat still.

The prince is still quibbling, "My son was wronged, I really didn't do anything!"

His Majesty said angrily: "From now on, the prince will be confined in the East Palace until everything is found out!"

Even the guards in the queen's palace had to listen to His Majesty's words. The prince was almost dragged away, and the princess followed closely.

His Majesty shook his hands and left, and Prime Minister Yuan limped after him.

The empress cried so much that she looked for death and life. Except for the eldest princess who was her own, the other princes and princesses also left.

Aunt Su timidly looked at the queen and slumped on the seat, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty will be angry for a while, as long as you can't find out what's wrong with the prince, you'll be fine. Don't worry, the queen."

The queen closed her eyes in despair, and said: "The prince recruited troops and bought horses to show His Majesty some achievements. He took many shortcuts and couldn't stand the investigation!"

"Then what to do, will it implicate our family?" Aunt Su suddenly became nervous. She also knew that the whole family was on the same boat, and the prince and queen were the ones at the helm of the Su family's boat.The prince now sails the boat into the deep sea, and the whole family will drown with him.

The queen was suddenly reminded, and shouted out: "Hurry up, Mr. Xuan Taiwei and the crown prince Taifu enter the palace!"

The Empress wanted to discuss something with her grandfather and uncle again, so Aunt Su and Su Ji followed Lin Xingwei, mother and daughter to the Hou Mansion for a small sit.

"Sister Ziyao, why are you so calm? If something happens to the crown prince, both the Su family and the Lin family will be ruined!" Aunt Su was so anxious that she started yelling before entering the room and sitting down.

"I didn't know the prince would be so reckless, and I don't know how the queen teaches." Aunt Su said nervously.

Lin Xingwei gave Su Ji a hand, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, we can't help you with the prince's cousin. I'll take you to my room for a while."

Su Ji's eyes were swollen, Lin Xingwei took it to her room, and asked Yunzhu to bring ice to gently compress it.

Su Ji lay on Lin Xingwei's couch, enjoying the coolness brought by the ice cubes on her eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "Ran Ran, I saw Prime Minister Yuan approaching aggressively today, you don't know how happy I am!"

"Prime Minister Yuan read the Prince's book in front of His Majesty, now I don't have to marry to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Lin Xingwei lightly applied Su Ji's eyes with cold compresses, smiled sarcastically, and said, "I did the math for my cousin, her fate is better than mine, and the marriage will go smoothly in the future."

Lin Xingwei asked Yunzhu to take the inscriptions from her dowry box and show them to Su Ji.

A few lines of words are engraved on the back of the turtle shell: Can Su Ji marry Huo Shan?
Su Ji's face turned red, and she sat up at once, nervously and anxiously, she asked, "What does God's will say?"

Lin Xingwei turned the tortoise's shell over, and there was a burnt word "Enable" on its stomach.

Holding the tortoise shell, Su Ji hesitated shyly, with tears in her eyes, and she was about to cry again.

"Don't cry, your eyes are going to lose sight!" Lin Xingwei hurriedly told Su Ji to lie down, and continued to apply ice to her.

Su Ji asked: "Ran Ran, how did you see that Huo Shan and I have feelings for each other?"

Lin Xingwei said truthfully, "I saw a variegated silk sash in your room, and I knew you had someone you love, but I didn't know who it was until Mrs. Yuan identified Huo Shan that day. Although you denied it at the time, but I could see that Huo Shan wanted to help you. So I did a divination."

Su Ji touched the tortoise shell to her chest, and said gratefully: "Ran Ran, if you didn't do the divination for me, I still can't make up my mind. No matter who the queen asks me to marry in the future, I won't agree. I only have Huo Shan in this life." !"

Su Ji was able to walk out of the mist, Lin Xingwei was really happy for Su Ji.
