Chapter 422 Shock
"My lady, I have just received news that the Crown Prince of Xiliang has just entered the palace."
It seems he wants to seek justice for Princess Yazhen, but I'm afraid..."
Butler Lin didn't finish speaking, but he believed that with Qin Baihe's intelligence, she should be able to foresee what would happen next.
After all, this involves the interactions between the Great Wei and the Western Liang kingdoms.
Their master has committed such a grave mistake that even if the prince is the emperor's son, the emperor will likely not forgive him.
Upon hearing what Butler Lin said, Qin Baihe immediately thought of Prince Min's plan.
Her sharp eyes swept over Butler Lin.
“You recounted the entire process of the prince’s crime in detail. If you dared to conceal even the slightest detail, you should know the consequences…”
Qin Baihe suppressed her anger.
Hearing the tension in Qin Baihe's voice, Butler Lin dared not hide anything any longer and instead recounted everything that had happened at Hongfulou.
"So, it's possible that Wu Weiwei was behind all of this?"
After Butler Lin finished speaking, Qin Baihe grasped the key points.
"Uh, when I arrived, the guards said they had all fainted. When they woke up, the door to the private room was opened, and everyone who was dining at Hongfu Restaurant ran to the door to watch the show..."
"Hehe, what a clever move to use someone's own methods against them, Wu Weiwei, I really underestimated you!"
Qin Baihe said this through gritted teeth.
After sorting everything out, Qin Baihe instructed Steward Lin, "Get ready, I'm going to the palace to see my father!"
Although she was disappointed in Prince Min, the two were ultimately in the same boat.
If Prince Ruo Min falls, she will not have a good end either.
royal palace.
Standing in the main hall, Shao Zhan looked at Prince Min, whose gaze was darting away from him, and his face was filled with murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, my princess from the Western Liang Kingdom lost her chastity in your Great Wei. How shall this debt be settled?"
Before entering the palace, he had someone investigate the entire incident.
He never expected that Ya Zhen would impersonate him and send an invitation to Wu Weiwei, and the location was set at Hongfu Restaurant.
This is also the scene of the crime where this incident occurred.
Shao Zhan wasn't stupid. From Ya Zhen's behavior these past few days, coupled with her hostility towards Wu Weiwei, he vaguely guessed what was going on.
Seeing the murderous look in Shao Zhan's eyes, Min Wang felt his legs go weak.
"Shao Zhan, let me tell you, Princess Ya Zhen and I are in love with each other, and I did not force her!"
As they were talking, King Min took out a curved jade pendant.
Upon seeing the jade pendant, a hint of surprise flashed in Shao Zhan's eyes.
How did Ya Zhen's jade pendant end up in Prince Min's hands?
"Did you see that? This is a token of love given to me by your royal sister. We are truly in love!"
Seeing the shock in Shao Zhan's eyes, Min Wang's words were full of smugness.
This is his biggest trump card, and Shao Zhan probably doesn't believe it either!
His imperial sister actually gave him her jade pendant.
This jade pendant is now his talisman; as long as he has it, no one can touch him.
To his surprise, Shao Zhan merely glanced at him, then said with disdain, "How would I know whether you obtained my imperial sister's jade pendant through improper means?"
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Yesterday, I saw her standing alone in front of a noodle shop. I don't know if she had a fight with someone, but she didn't seem to have eaten yet.
I then kindly invited her to dine at Hongfu Restaurant.
Who knew that after Princess Yazhen finished her meal, she confided in me that she was interested in me, and then gave me the jade pendant she was wearing as a token of our love.
We agreed to meet again at Hung Fook Restaurant today, which led to this scene today…
With King Min's embellishment, what was originally a conspiracy between the two was exaggerated into a love affair between them at first sight.
Even Emperor Mingcheng, sitting on the high platform, couldn't help but shudder after hearing his embellished love story.
When Prince Min tried to continue fabricating his story, Emperor Mingcheng couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Alright, Prince Shao, the truth is now before us."
Princess Yazhen liked my son, so she gave him a token of their love.
The two arranged to meet at Hung Fook Restaurant, and their meeting was inevitably a bit too enthusiastic, which led to today's scene..."
Emperor Cheng of Ming directly brought this matter to a close.
He was a monarch of a country, yet he was questioned to his face by the crown prince of another country because of his useless son. Where was he supposed to put his face?
If we do not display the dignity of a monarch today, how will the people of Wei view us?
So whether it's his son's fault or the fault of the princess of Xiliang Kingdom, today we must make it a fact!
Otherwise, if not handled properly, it will affect his prestige among the various states and disappoint the people of Wei.
"Hahaha!"
Shao Zhan laughed loudly.
All of this must be a conspiracy between Emperor Cheng and his son.
Of course, the one who deserves to die the most is Ya-zhen.
Unexpectedly, she had concealed from him the fact that she had given the jade pendant to Prince Min.
"How dare you! How dare you, a prince of Xiliang, be so arrogant in the Great Wei court!"
When King Min saw Shao Zhan laughing wildly in the main hall, disregarding decorum, he immediately reprimanded him.
“Your Majesty, this matter is far too one-sided based solely on Prince Min’s words. After all, Ya Zhen told me that she has never harbored any affection for Prince Min…”
After speaking, Shao Zhan stepped forward.
"I received a letter from my father yesterday, saying that my mother misses Yazhen terribly."
It is said that General Luoyuan, her maternal clan leader, is preparing to lead an army of 300,000 to the Huai River to welcome my imperial sister back. In my opinion...
"Your Majesty, should you conduct a more thorough investigation to restore the reputation of my Western Liang princess?"
After Shao Zhan finished speaking, no one in the entire hall dared to breathe.
Threat!
This is a naked threat!
It seems that the Western Liang Kingdom really wants to fight against their Great Wei.
However, given the current state of the Great Wei, Emperor Mingcheng immediately became dejected.
Because he knew he was powerless to fight back.
After taking a deep breath, Emperor Mingcheng looked at Shao Zhan.
"Prince Shao, we will do as you wish."
"I will issue an imperial edict shortly, ordering the Court of Judicial Review and other officials to thoroughly investigate today's events. If the facts are not as Prince Min claims, I will severely punish him and absolutely restore justice for Princess Yazhen!"
Seeing the emperor compromise, Shao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.
What he just said was merely to intimidate Emperor Mingcheng!
In reality, there was no army of 300,000; it was just the Luo family leading tens of thousands of soldiers in training exercises on the Huai River border!
But if he didn't say that, why would the Emperor of Wei be afraid?
of course.
He did this not because he wanted the emperor to order the execution of Prince Min, nor would the emperor execute his own son.
What he did today was just a show for Ya-zhen!
After all, they were still on the territory of the Great Wei, and he couldn't let the Western Liang Kingdom lose its national prestige during this trip to the Great Wei.
Today's events are entirely her own doing.
If she hadn't invited Wu Weiwei to Hongfu Restaurant under her own name, how could she have ended up losing her innocence?
