Chapter 257 Princess Chen Disobeys the Order
Chapter 257 Princess Chen Disobeys the Order
“Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. How could your daughter-in-law be so capable? If she had, she wouldn’t make you so angry, right?” Ji Yunchu explained hurriedly, acting like a dramatic artist.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you are connected with the Killer Pavilion?"
What Emperor Ting hated the most was that his son was secretly cultivating some improper forces. Although Ji Yunchu had just married his son, it was not his son's doing, but there was no guarantee that outsiders would blame his son for this.
The more Emperor Ting thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at Ji Yunchu with his long eyes: It's all because of this useless idiot. She can't do anything right and always causes trouble for Chen'er. If it wasn't for the fact that Chen'er has disobeyed me time and time again because of her, I would have had someone carry her out and give her fifty strokes of the cane first.
Mu Yanchen saw all of Emperor Ting's expressions, and he knew that he must be extremely angry with Ji Yunchu at the moment. He turned to look at Ji Yunchu, but saw that she looked calm, and he couldn't help but worry for her.
He thought quickly about how to resolve this dilemma. However, when Concubine Shu saw such a scene, although she disdained intrigue, she was determined to start the fire today for the sake of her grandson who could not be born!
"Your Majesty, the way Princess Chen is reluctant to explain is a perfect proof that she and the Assassin's Pavilion must have some unspeakable secret that she is afraid of you knowing. In my opinion, no matter how hard you talk, you can't be harder than a stick. It would be better to give her thirty strokes of the cane first. If she refuses to speak, then continue to punish her!"
After Concubine Shu said this, the Emperor Ting seemed to have a legitimate reason to punish her, so he waved his hand and said, "Come here, Princess Chen disobeyed the order, drag her out and give her thirty strokes of the cane!"
Mu Yanchen was anxious and begged for mercy immediately: "Father, please take back your order. The reason why Yunchu was in contact with the Killer Pavilion was because of the days when you were unconscious. Someone hired a killer to kill the Su family. Please investigate!"
"Chen'er, stop making excuses for her. No matter what the reason is, she didn't give me any explanation for my questioning. She is disobeying my order. I will punish her and teach her a lesson."
When Emperor Ting saw his son pleading for Ji Yunchu again, his anger clouded his mind and he ignored the doubts in the matter.
"Your Majesty, if I don't speak out, it will be disobedience and you will punish me. If I speak out now, you will not punish me!"
Ji Yunchu became angry: Everyone knows how to beat around the bush, you dog emperor, you're making a big fuss about such a small matter, well, you're going to be punished anyway, so why not just talk back first?
When Momoda saw her like this, she was immediately as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Host, please don't do that. This is the era of imperial power, not your modern society where everyone is equal. You are embarrassing the emperor with such a lack of respect, but you will be beheaded!"
"I'm not afraid of anything! Aren't emperors said to be big-minded? What I see now is a mean person. He doesn't like me now and can punish me just because of a few words from others. If more people work together to exclude me, I will be dead soon."
The Emperor was so angry that he sneered, "What a shameless person! Why do you say such things so brazenly? Why should I listen to you?"
Ji Yunchu smiled back and stood up directly: "Just because I am the one who is being accused of thieves, it is obvious that it was King Jing who asked Ji Yunrou to ask the assassins to kill my grandfather's family. Not to mention others, Su Zilin, my cousin, is also your Minister of Revenue. He also wants to kill him.
Do you know why? "
When King Jing saw her biting him directly, he immediately became anxious: "Princess Chen, stop talking nonsense. You said you had connections with the Killer Pavilion, and you even framed me!"
Mu Yanchen was silent. Now that the fire had been started, let it burn bigger!
"Am I talking nonsense? King Jing, don't you have any idea of what you have done?" Ji Yunchu thought to himself that he dared to confront even the emperor, so how could he be afraid of offending the prince? That was impossible!
"This king..." King Jing was angry but still rational, and immediately denied it.
But when Emperor Ting saw this noisy scene, he became even angrier, and immediately slammed the dragon table again with a "bang".
Both Concubine Shu and Prince Jing were so frightened that they knelt down.
Only Ji Yunchu was standing. At this time, three guards came in. One was the one who had been ordered to check for poison, and the other two came in to capture Ji Yunchu and punish him with a stick.
Emperor Ting was furious at this time and didn't want to listen to Ji Yunchu's nagging anymore. He said directly to the two guards: "Drag them away and beat them!"
The two guards received the order and were about to step forward to arrest the man. Mu Yanchen immediately stood up and pulled the man behind him. He said to the Emperor Ting: "Father, I am willing to take the punishment for Yun Chu. If you want to hit me, hit me!"
Emperor Ting had never thought that his son would actually protect Ji Yunchu so much, but if he really wanted to hit his son, he would not be willing to do so. He had no choice but to wave his hand and let the two guards retreat, "No more fighting, get out!"
As soon as the guard left, another guard was about to report, but Ji Yunchu beat him to the punch, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing secretly took the death row prisoner Lin out of the death row and placed her in the third lane of Changchang Street, where they kept nearly 300 warriors. Later, Lin captured my aunt out of personal grudge and tried to use her as a threat to kill me and my third brother. Fortunately, it was the prince's men who captured her, which led to what happened today."
