Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 643 Salt the Wound
Sure enough, as soon as the prince got the account book, he couldn't wait to have someone present it to Emperor Chu. After seeing it, Long Yan was furious and summoned Cao Shangshu.

Cao Shangshu hurriedly went to check, and found that in the account books, some evidence was conclusive, and some were forged.

Cao Shangshu was secretly frightened, his hands holding the account book trembled a little, and he went to the palace overnight to beg to see Emperor Chu.

After Emperor Chu looked at it, his face was dark and angry. Eunuch Zhao glanced at him and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, it's already the third watch, and you have to go to court at the fifth watch. This old slave will serve you and rest."

"Let's all go back."

Eunuch Zhao didn't dare to persuade him any more, so he withdrew with Cao Shangshu and stood guard outside the palace gate.

Cao Shangshu looked at the closed palace door and asked, "Eunuch Zhao, what is this, Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Zhao said: "Your Majesty Cao, let's go back to the mansion to rest first, and we have to go to court tomorrow."

Tomorrow morning, I am afraid that the sky will change.

Cao Shangshu sighed secretly, and left the palace. The imperial study room was lit up all night. At five o'clock, the palace door slowly opened, and Emperor Chu came out with a condensed expression.

But Rong Jiu had a good night's dream, and he didn't wake up until mid-sun.

Seeing her getting up, Madam Su hurriedly asked someone to prepare a meal. Ling Yue reported: "Princess, in the early court, His Majesty made two orders in a row. One is to imprison King Jin, and the other is to abolish the crown prince and relegate him to Ning." king."

Rong Jiu scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest porridge, and asked casually, "What's the reaction of civil and military officials?"

"Only the Wei family brought people to kneel in front of the imperial study."

Rong Jiu couldn't help but sneer when he heard that the Xiao family didn't move at all: "The crown prince has indeed become an abandoned son, useless, he will be discarded like a pair of shoes."

"Prince Jin was imprisoned for a felony that is unforgivable. It is no longer a problem, but it is a pity that the crown prince is still alive."

The two were talking, when Eunuch Zhao came, Rong Jiu said with a smile on his face, "Have you eaten, Eunuch Zhao? Sit down and eat together."

"Thank you princess, the old slave has eaten."

"Eunuch came here this time, is the father summoned?"

Eunuch Zhao's face was serious: "In the early court, His Majesty dealt with a group of ministers, and abolished the King Jin and the Crown Prince. Now he shut himself up in the Zichen Palace without eating or drinking. The old slave was really worried and wanted to invite the princess into the palace to comfort His Majesty. .”

Rong Jiu pretended to be surprised: "Why did the father abolish King Jin and the crown prince?"

"The king of Jin formed a party for personal gain, exploited his power for profit, took bribes, all of which are serious crimes, and have already been imprisoned."

"Where's the prince?"

"Your Majesty asked the prince to reflect on his mistakes in the East Palace, and not to interfere with the affairs of the court, but in order to eliminate dissidents, the prince asked people to present evidence of King Jin's crimes, and even forged the evidence, which chilled His Majesty's heart."

Rong Jiu asked Nanny Su to make some breakfast again, and then went to the palace with Eunuch Zhao.

There was a group of people kneeling outside the Zichen Hall, Concubine Shu was kneeling at the front, Taifu Wei was kneeling behind her, and some court ministers were kneeling behind her.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, everyone raised their heads. When they saw Rong Jiu beside Eunuch Zhao, Concubine Shu's eyes flashed a look of joy, as if she saw a life-saving straw: "Princess, I beg you, please Save King Jin's life."

Jin Wang asked someone to impeach her for being an official and doing business, and competing for profits with the people. I'm afraid he didn't expect to dig a hole and bury himself.

Rong Jiu's expression was indifferent: "Father is the heaven of Southern Chu, I'm afraid the concubine is begging the wrong person."

"Your Majesty treats the princess differently. As long as the princess speaks, His Majesty will definitely punish her lightly."

"Father treats me like my own, why should I sprinkle salt on his wound for the sake of a prince who broke his heart?"
