Chapter 713
"I am still here. You may be a prince, but you can't be so rude to an imperial court official!"
"Heh, he dares to speak out and murder this king's child. Royal brother, let's forget about it. I've lightly punished him, yet you call me rude? Do I have to be grateful to him for murdering my child? "
"How dare you!" The Emperor had a gloomy expression. "You're talking to me like this?"
The officer who was kicked into the water struggled to climb onto the shore. A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Titan King as he lifted his leg and stepped on the man's finger.
The emperor flew into a rage, "Ning Junyue! You. This was absolutely outrageous!
Some officials could not help but feel indignant, "Your majesty, King Yue did not behave properly before you, he murdered court officials, and his consort was pregnant during her filial period. Whether it was to the late emperor or to the emperor, they are disrespectful to the extreme.
Although Guardian Jin's words were a little extreme, but according to the laws of the imperial court, it was not wrong. King Yue had kicked him into the water twice. This was truly too much.
The emperor's forehead creased tightly as the flames of anger rose on his face. "Imperial Physician, go in and take a look at Imperial Concubine Yue's pulse!"
"What do you plan to do, royal brother?"
"Fourth brother, if you still recognize this royal brother of mine, get out of the way!" The Emperor's gaze was like lightning, and his eyes carried a dense imposing manner.
Yue Yang didn't evade at all: "What if I don't give in?"
The emperor gritted his teeth and waved to the leader of the imperial guards.
The imperial guards stepped forward, surrounding Yue Yang as they unsheathed the blade in their hands, pointing it straight at Yue Yang.
"I'll repeat myself one last time, get out of the way!"
Yue Yang laughed coldly, his eyes carrying unspeakable bitterness: "I never thought that there would come a day where our brothers would clash blades like this."
"I have already tolerated you several times. Earlier, you killed the princess of the Northern Frontier, and you killed so many officials of the Northern Frontier. I have helped you delay the matter until now, but you are ungrateful. Today, you have openly defied my orders!"
"Your Majesty, your servant was standing in the distance and just so happened to see the palace maid who had pushed Princess Wangfei away. It doesn't matter if she's pregnant or not, she pushed the person into the water, but it's a public murder, and I ask that Your Majesty uphold justice."
"Who are you?" The king frowned. He was already extremely displeased with himself for being disobeyed so many times.
"Your servant is the maid of Princess Yue Wangfei. "The palace maid that this servant dragged over just now was the one who pushed Princess Wangfei behind her back. Your majesty will be able to clear it with a bit of interrogation." "It should be the empress setting up a banquet today, right? At such an important banquet, there was actually a palace maid that brazenly tried to murder this duke's wangfei. Royal brother, when did the palace maids have such guts? Or, what kind of shady scheme is behind this?
"
The emperor's face was livid. "Ning Junyue, are you suspecting that the empress is trying to harm your wangfei?"
"How's the truth? We'll know after questioning him. The emperor wouldn't be afraid to ask, right?"
The emperor harrumphed, "Wake up that palace maid."
The imperial guard immediately brought over a bucket of cold water. When the bucket of cold water was poured over, the servant girl trembled and opened her eyes. She was immediately frightened by the scene before her and could not utter a word as her teeth trembled, "Your majesty … Your Majesty … "Sovereign …"
"Which palace are you from?"
"Your servant …" This servant is from Zhaoyang Palace, and I am in charge of taking care of the palace maids in the garden. "
Zhaoyang Palace? This palace maid was actually from the empress dowager's palace.
"You took advantage of the chaos and pushed the wife to the back, causing her to suddenly fall into the water?"
"Your servant …" This servant doesn't know … No, I didn't do anything. "
"Under the gazes of everyone present, many people saw that it was you who acted. Yet, you still want to argue now?" "Tell me the truth now. This king will not harm your family. If you insist on doing so, this king will send your family back to the underworld to reunite!"
Hearing such a straightforward threat from King Yue, the unhappiness on the Emperor's face became even more obvious. "King Yue!"
"Royal brother, since you're so nervous, are you worried that I'll ask the person behind this palace maid's actions?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Then don't stop him. This King must get to the bottom of this today's matter!"
"How dare you..."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, causing the extremely solemn atmosphere to become even more subtle. "The Grand Princess Yi De has arrived!"
The Emperor and the Winged King retracted their imposing auras as they stepped forward and bowed towards Grand Princess Yi. "Greetings, Imperial Aunt." Grand Princess Yi De looked at the palace maids who were kneeling on the ground and trembling nonstop. He then looked at the imperial guards who were ready to listen to orders and couldn't help but sigh. The two of you are brothers. When the previous emperor was dying, he had a good life …
I once again warned you two to work together to properly guard the rivers and mountains of the Great Tang Dynasty. Now that the late emperor's filial life has just passed, you two brothers started a ruckus in the imperial palace, how can you face the late emperor's orders? "
The two of them looked ashamed.
The emperor was the first to speak. "Imperial Aunt, this matter is really …" The Grand Princess Yi De looked at the palace maid on the ground. "Whoever commits an offense should be punished. "Even though she is my granddaughter, I will not be biased and protect her and not let her go. If she really is pregnant while being filial, then both she and King Yue will be punished. Emperor …"
Whatever you want to do with it is up to you. Put this matter aside first. This palace maid in front of me has committed an unforgivable crime in order to assassinate Princess Yue Wangfei. She shall be dragged down to the grave! " The imperial guards obeyed their orders and the palace maid saw that she was about to be dragged down, so she suddenly raised her head and pounced towards the empress. "Esteemed empress, esteemed empress, help me! It was you who ordered your servant to push the wager into the water. It was you who said that the wangfei was unfilial and had gotten pregnant during her filial period.
Save me, save me, save me! "
"Your Highness Grand Princess, this servant isn't spouting nonsense. It was the Empress herself who ordered this servant to do so. Otherwise, even if this servant had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to openly harm Princess Tou!" The palace maid continued to wail.
"Sister Huang, Yunyao respects you the most. When you were in trouble earlier, she took care of you day and night. I never expected that you would let someone harm her!" Many of the wives and mistresses thought back to the empress's attitude towards Princess Yue and couldn't help lowering their heads. No wonder they had felt that the two of them were having an incessant battle. The empress had long since known that Princess Yue was pregnant and had even secretly harbored thoughts of causing her to miscarry. That's true. I heard that the empress couldn't do it anymore …
He was already pregnant enough to have seen Mu Yunyao marry her not long ago, so he naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Your majesty, Grand Princess, I really didn't send anyone to harm Yunyao." The Queen explained anxiously.
The palace maid turned to look at the empress's personal mama. "Yang mama can testify that she was present at the scene." Yang mama hastened to kneel, her head lowered, not daring to make a sound.
