The emperor was not very happy.

Gu Yunyao was brought into the princess mansion by the third princess. He knew that the eldest princess had come to give him a message.

He thought it was nothing more than a conflict between little girls.

The third princess was his legitimate daughter, and she had always had a arrogant temper. Gu Yunyao had just been granted the title of county lord, and was given the marriage to Shen Munan. The Queen Mother somehow liked her, and maybe her temper was aggravated by this.

There is nothing wrong with letting the third princess suppress her for a while, so as not to let her go too far all at once and lose her sense of proportion.

Didn't the signs of this already appear in the previous fight with Shen Sichen?

Originally, the emperor had already made up his mind to ignore this matter and pretended not to know.

But now Gu Yunyao actually went to the study room to mention it.

Looking again, Gu Yunyao was indeed weak, her face looked extremely ugly, and she couldn't open her mouth to scold him.

What's more, there was Shen Munan beside him.

"Yongning, what's going on? Take your time," the emperor ordered, "come and give me a seat."

Gu Yunyao didn't want to sit down, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. At this time, she had to keep her integrity, and she was the one who suffered.

He reluctantly sat down and leaned on the back of the chair and said weakly: "Your Majesty, An Bohou and his wife went to Jingzhao Mansion to sue my daughter. My daughter was sitting at home, and the crime was brought to heaven.

They insisted that it was the minister who killed Shen Shenchen. No matter how the minister tried to defend her, An Bohou and his wife never believed it.

My daughter can also understand the pain of losing a daughter, and the sadness in my heart is indescribable.

The servant girl thought that when Master Shi found out the truth of the matter, he would be able to clear her name, but she never imagined...

After being thrown into the water prison by the third princess, the nanny beside her was so proud that she told the truth about how the third princess killed Shen Shenchen that day.

My daughter is frightened, and I don’t know why the three princesses are doing this, and I don’t know why this is the fault of my daughter.”

The autumn wind rustled outside the window, and the sunshine was silently suppressed by the dark clouds, and had long since disappeared.

There was a young eunuch in the palace who silently lit a lamp, and the light swayed, reflecting the emperor's face, which was confused between joy and anger.

"I'm not sure. You and Qiong Hua didn't meet each other at the last palace banquet. I heard that we met once only at a happy event of the Su family. Why did she want to put you to death?"

Gu Yunyao lowered her eyes, her eyelashes blocking the coolness and a hint of panic under her eyes.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid. What I am facing now is the person in charge of the highest power in this society. A person's life and death can only be controlled by his thoughts and words.

But she had been prepared before coming. Gu Yunyao suppressed her panic and was about to speak when Shen Munan gently pressed her shoulder.

"Father, my son and I know a thing or two."

A faint smile flashed across Shen Munan's lips: "The third emperor's sister and Yun Yao had an unpleasant encounter when they met for the first time, and they were quite hostile.

If it weren't for the Su family and there was a happy event to be held, I'm afraid something would have happened on the spot. This reason has nothing to do with Yunyao, but the crux of it lies with my son."

"The person who is engaged to Erchen is Yunyao, and the Third Emperor's Sister is targeting her; if the person who is engaged to Erchen is someone else, then the Third Emperor's Sister is targeting someone else."

Shen Munan coughed a few times: "It sounds like I was negligent and didn't remind Yun Yao in time to avoid the Third Emperor Sister in everything.

Two days ago, Erchen's old illness relapsed and he went to a mountain villa outside the city to recuperate. As a result, he became seriously ill and fell asleep. Only when he woke up did he realize that Xinghe had sent someone to deliver a letter and mentioned this matter.

He also went to the residence of the three emperors sisters, but failed to persuade her with good words. He was afraid of a bigger misunderstanding, so he had no choice but to send someone there.

When Erchen learned about it, he immediately returned to Sanhuangmei's house. Sanhuangmei refused to admit it and even cursed Erchen. Later, the east courtyard was suddenly bombed and she panicked. Only then did Erchen know where Yunyao was being held.

Er Chen did not tell Yunyao in detail about this matter. She only thought that Er Chen went there after hearing the explosion. In fact, Er Chen was afraid that she would be worried and did not let her know that the old illness had recurred."

Gu Yunyao's eyelashes trembled slightly and she looked up at him: "Your Majesty's old illness has relapsed again? Is he feeling better now?"

Her face looked even whiter in the darkness, as fragile as a delicate flower that could break at the touch of a touch.

Shen Munan frowned slightly: "It doesn't matter. It's okay now."

"Father, I don't want to talk about it at all. The three emperor sisters have been resentful towards me for a long time. It can be considered a family matter.

But the Tian family has no family affairs, and since the commotion has become known throughout the city, it’s okay for the son and minister to feel a little wronged, but... forgive the son for being unreasonable, but Yunyao can’t.

My son married her to protect her, not to drag her into a sea of ​​misery.

If this is not possible, then I would rather die alone."

"Nonsense!" the emperor shouted softly, "How about dying alone? Can such unlucky words be said casually?"

Zhu Yushi shouted at the side: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to thoroughly investigate the matter of the third princess, otherwise I will die in the study!"

emperor:"……"

My head hurts.

The emperor stroked his forehead and glanced at Shi Fuyin.

"What do you think? You are the parent official of the capital."

Shi Fuyin looked serious and bowed: "I think this matter should be investigated."

He paused and then said: "If the Emperor Qiankun makes an arbitrary decision, it is not impossible not to investigate, but if the world is talking, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop it for a while.

What's more, there is also the matter of fine iron in the mansion, and there must be a result."

As soon as "fine iron" was mentioned, the emperor could no longer forcefully protect the three princesses.

He had to give up one of the third princess and the prince.

No one needs to tell me how important the East Palace is, he knows it.

Gu Yunyao secretly thought, this Master Shi is really capable. He seems to be upright and unreasonable, but this uprightness is quite effective when used in the right place.

The emperor's gaze passed over them all, and Gu Yunyao felt that his gaze was like a thin blade, sharp and cold.

But the matter has come to this, and the actions of the third princess will never allow her to survive.

"Forget it," the emperor said slowly after a long time, "the national laws are strict. Even though I miss the queen, I cannot ignore the national laws.

Shi Qing, since this matter has gone through Jingzhao Mansion from the beginning, you should be the one to preside over the trial. After the matter is found out, report it directly to me."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Gu Yunyao secretly thought about it, hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion? Isn't a big case like this usually subject to a joint trial by three departments?

The emperor then said to Zhu Yushi: "Zhu Qing, everything must have a process, and the case must be clarified bit by bit. I will not tolerate Qiong Hua, nor will anyone place charges on her.

The Yushitai is my eyes and the mouths of all officials. You might as well take a look first and then say something. How about it?"

Zhu Yushi thought for a moment: "Old minister, I obey the order."

The emperor's eyes turned to Gu Yunyao.

She thought to herself: It’s coming, it’s coming.

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, she gritted her teeth and stood up. This movement caused another pain in her lower abdomen, and her eyesight became a little black, as if there was a little man holding a heavy hammer, gritting his teeth and beating on her body.

"Yongning, you..."

Gu Yunyao didn't hear what the emperor said clearly, and could only vaguely hear Shen Munan shouting her name.

But she was unable to respond.

There was only one thought in her mind: It's over, now she's completely embarrassed.

It hurts so much... No matter what, you have to make taking care of your body your top priority.

Drowsily, there seemed to be a figure moving in front of my eyes, and there was a little cold light.

Gu Yunyao woke up for a moment, and in desperation, she pushed herself up a little: "What are you doing?!"

The cold light paused, and a cold voice sounded: "The county master is awake? Then take medicine!"
