Chapter 233: False Accusations and Blaming Others

Chu Qinghuang walked into the hall and saw Qi Yun kneeling on the ground. In order to have a better effect on the petition, he didn't even have time to bandage the wound on his forehead. Apart from the blood stains, there was a large piece of blood on his forehead. It was badly bruised and swollen, and it looked really miserable.

Turning his eyes slightly, Chu Qinghuang saw several familiar ministers, all of whom were old acquaintances.

Zhong Jin's father Shen Yushi, Wen Zhan's father Wen Xingyun, Qi Ling's father Zhenbei Wang, well, these three can barely be regarded as Chu Qinghuang's "father-in-law".

It's just that no one here would dare to regard Chu Qinghuang as their daughter-in-law. After all, the status of a prince-in-law and a male favorite are very different. One is a serious royal prince-in-law, and the other is a lowly person who can be disposed of at will. thing.

Who would really take the so-called Shijun seriously?

Chu Qinghuang didn't care about the strange looks in the eyes of several ministers, walked up to the case, and said calmly: "Father, the emperor summoned his ministers, is it about the legitimate son of Zhenbei King?"

The five people behind them stood obediently. They would never move if Her Royal Highness the Princess asked them to move, and they would definitely not talk nonsense if Her Royal Highness the Princess asked them to speak.

"Qinghuang, Qi Yun said that he was beaten in your eldest princess's mansion." The emperor's eyes fell on the men behind him, and he quickly looked at Hong Yu, "And it was the boy in red who beat him. , what do you want to say about this?”

The emperor was quite impressed by the young man in red. After all, besides being the youngest and pretty, Hong Yu had a deep and profound affection for Qing Huang, which was touching.

When Qi Yun complained to the emperor that the person who beat him was a young man in red, the emperor already guessed who it was. Even when he sent someone to invite Qinghuang into the palace, he was still thinking about what to do. While ensuring that King Zhenbei is appeased, the punishment for the young man can be minimized.

After all, Hong Yu seems to be still young, and his frail body may not be able to withstand a few beatings with a paddle.

"My son, I have nothing to say." Chu Qinghuang said indifferently, obviously not taking this little matter to heart, "It is true that Qi Yun was beaten, but my son thinks this is just a harmless dispute."

"A harmless dispute?" King Zhenbei said in a displeased tone, "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, spoke so lightly to protect the people in her palace? Is it possible that the injury on Qi Yun's forehead is fake?"

Chu Qinghuang turned to look at him with cold eyes: "Is King Zhenbei questioning my words?"

It was clear that he had a cold and lazy expression just now, but now he was so cold that there was no emotion at all, and his otherworldly and beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost, which made people feel heart palpitating.

King Zhenbei was secretly shocked, almost unable to believe that such an aura appeared on a fifteen-year-old girl.

His face darkened: "I dare not question the eldest princess, but the injury on Qi Yun's head is obvious to all. If the injury was caused by the eldest princess, I won't say anything if it is reasonable or not. But if a servant below commits such a crime, is it possible? Shouldn’t he be severely punished?”

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Hong Yu raised his hand like a good baby, "I can defend myself."

The emperor rebuked majestically: "There are no rules."

"Young Master Qi is treasonous and disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. He also spoke arrogant words. I couldn't hold back for a moment before I took action." Hong Yu frowned and said aggrievedly, "And I just picked up the tea cup on the table. , I didn’t think it could really hit him. Who knew that Mr. Qi’s reaction was so slow that he didn’t even know how to hide, which made people wonder if he was deliberately trying to frame me with a cruel trick. "

"You are talking nonsense!" Qi Yun raised his head and roared, "I have never offended the eldest princess at all."

Kureha insisted: "You just took offense."

"I fell in love with the eldest princess at first sight——"

"Presumptuous!" King Zhenbei roared, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qi Yun's expression changed, and what he didn't finish was blocked back. He moved his mouth: "My son just likes Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. This...isn't this a big mistake? He actually..."

"You are staring at His Highness with both eyes, and there is no rule at all." Hong Yu said coldly, "If His Highness really cares about you, not giving you a hundred lashes would be a mercy."

The emperor coughed lightly.

Although according to Qinghuang's past temper, this is indeed true, but... Hongyu, is it really okay for your Highness to say this? To put it mildly, Qinghuang has not been so cruel recently.

"It's such nonsense, it's a slap in the face!" King Zhenbei's face was gloomy, he really saw what it means to be eloquent, "It's a fact that you committed the following crimes, and it's also a fact that you beat the son of a prince. According to the law, you should be punished with a cane starting at fifty! Even if it's true! Your rhetoric to justify your actions cannot offset the fact that you committed the crime!”

After finishing his words, he knelt down and said, "I beg the emperor to make the decision for me and for Yun'er!"
