Chapter 66: Confronting the Powerful Nobles
1999 couldn't understand her mother-in-law, why this gaze, as if not marrying Mu Ye Xuan would be no loss at all, and she involuntarily rolled her eyes.
"Alright, mom, it's getting late, why don't you sleep with me tonight?"
Wan Yin could only helplessly nod her head: "Alright, then hurry up and wash up and rest. Today we climbed a mountain all day, I'm exhausted too."
The mother and daughter washed up and then went straight to sleep. This time, no one disturbed them, and they slept until dawn. By the time Qianjiu woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Muyexiao has gone to attend the morning court, today's morning court is the same as usual, the eunuch Hong shouted in a loud and sharp voice: "Those with memorials step forward, those without retreat."
The eunuch had just finished shouting this sentence when the imperial envoy, Xiao Daren, stood up directly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
His Majesty glanced at Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng was the Imperial Envoy, and he had a memorial to present, which meant that he wanted to participate in the discussion. Since Xiao Cheng became the Imperial Envoy...
He is diligent and responsible, and every time he has a reason. The emperor also trusts him very much, looking at Xiao Cheng: "Who do you want to participate in?"
Xiao Cheng knelt down: "Your humble servant wants to impeach the king's consort of Xiao Wang, who has occupied the homes of good people outside the city."
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Mu Ye Xiao, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Although Mu Ye Xiao was now sitting in a wheelchair, his abilities were extremely strong, and for Xiao Cheng, this matter was somewhat unexpected.
I had expected it all along, the Lin family would definitely not let things go easily, but I didn't expect that they would actually push Bao Xiao Cheng out.
Xiao Cheng is actually a very good official, but he didn't think it through and couldn't hold on to his bottom line, and together with Empress Xian's family, they all went down together.
The emperor himself did not believe that Qianjiu would do such a thing, let alone that he knew his son's heart and what Qianjiu wanted, which would probably be delivered to her hands soon.
It's not necessary to take away the property of good people, but it's interesting to watch Xiao Cheng. In fact, he is still sighing in his heart. If Xiao Cheng really surrendered to Queen Xian's family, it would be a pity.
It's rare to have an official in the imperial court who is working for the welfare of the people. Thinking this, the Emperor felt that he should give Xiao Cheng a chance: "You didn't mistake, was it really Empress Xiang?"
Xiao Cheng raised his head and looked at the emperor with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I did not make a mistake. It was indeed Xiawang Fei who said so herself."
"It was heard by the people themselves and reported to me that Xiāo Wáng Fēi has taken over the good people's medicine garden..."
Xiao Cheng spoke fluently for a while, but unexpectedly ignored the housekeeper of Lin Dage's family in front of him and directly said something that made Mu Ye Xiao's mouth twitch.
"Looking at Xiao Cheng: 'Xiao sir, did you see it with your own eyes? Do you know the responsibility of the Imperial Censorate?'"
Xiao Cheng looked at Mu Ye Xiao, with a deep disappointment in his eyes: "This official naturally knows the responsibility of being an imperial censor, but as an imperial censor, this official will not let such things go unchecked."
"These are not seen by this official with his own eyes, but they were all seen by the loyal servants in my household. This official also personally went to investigate and verify it, and indeed there was such a thing."
"Your Majesty, I request that you dispatch another team to investigate this matter thoroughly. Additionally, it would be best to summon the oppressed commoners to come forward and ask them about the situation."
Xiao Cheng listened to Mu Ye Xiao's words: "Your Highness, are you planning to cover up for the princess?"
"Sir, it's better not to be so rash about things you haven't seen with your own eyes. Sheltering? My princess has done nothing wrong and doesn't need anyone's shelter."
"What I'm doing is to make things clear and won't let my queen be slandered by anyone."
The emperor looked at Mu Ye Xiang with a righteous and majestic appearance, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Does the King of Xiang really trust his queen so much?"
Muyexiao really wanted to roll her eyes, but she restrained herself and said, "I was present yesterday."
The Third Prince couldn't help but look at Mu Ye Xiang: "Since Sixth Brother is present, why didn't he stop the Empress Dowager of Xiao and let her make a mistake?"
The crown prince shot a glance at the third imperial son: "Third brother, can't you understand human language? I've already said it, my queen consort has done nothing wrong."
The third prince was shut down by Mu Ye Xiang's one sentence, and he insisted that the Queen of Xiang had done nothing wrong. Let's wait and see what crime you're accused of next, and then we'll see how you explain it.
The emperor looked at his two sons, then after a while, he ordered someone to announce: "Summon the Xiang Wangfei into the palace. Also, summon that oppressed good citizen to come up."
As soon as the emperor's words were heard, everyone was shocked. It seemed that the emperor was going to try this case on the spot. The emperor's favor towards Empress Xiang was not trivial at all.
It seems that in the future, I should let the people at home see Xiāo Wáng Fēi with a better attitude. The emperor's actions are so blatant and biased towards Xiāo Wáng Fēi.
In the past, such things would have been handled by summoning a few ministers or handing them over to the Three Departments for deliberation. But this time, surprisingly, Your Majesty has taken direct charge of the matter and seems determined to reach a conclusion today.
Qianjiu was having breakfast when a eunuch arrived to deliver an imperial edict, looking at Qianjiu: "Xiao Wangfei, the Emperor has chosen you to enter the palace."
Qianjiu blinked her eyes, thinking that she hadn't done anything wrong recently. Or was it that the eunuch who had come to deliver the imperial edict was looking at Wangfei and asking: "Does the emperor know what happened, or is he summoning the princess for some reason?"
This little eunuch happened to be one of the few who had seen the emperor talk to Concubine Wei alone, and knew that she was favored by the emperor, so he naturally told everything.
Qianjiu listened to Taijian's words and couldn't help but be stunned: "So that means I've been fooled, huh?"
"This is all fresh, let's go and take a look. Yesterday's thing, so many villagers saw it, whose stupid idea was that?"
That little girl overheard Qianjiu say such things, naturally didn't dare to respond, because responding also wouldn't know what to answer, could only lead the way in front.
Qianjiu thought that since she had to enter the palace anyway, she might as well have lunch in Qinggui Fei's palace. Thinking this way, Qianjiu looked at Yuanniang and said: "Niangniang, bring me the facial mask I gave to my mother."
"It's just in time to go to the palace and have lunch at the Queen Mother's palace."
The little eunuch in front overheard Qianjiu's words and couldn't help but feel speechless. You actually thought you were going to the palace for dinner? But speaking of which, this princess's mentality is really good.
The horse carriage soon arrived at the imperial palace, Qianjiu ordered this Yu'e: "Yu'e, I'll go to the main hall to take a look, you bring the mask and give it to Empress Dowager, I'll come find you guys soon."
"Qīng yù, hóng chóu, nǐmen hǎo hǎo péi zhe wǎn yún yún."
Translation: "Green jade, red rafter, you two take good care of Wan's mother."
The two maids both bowed and said: "Yes, milady."
Qianjiujiu arrived at the gate of the grand hall accompanied by Hongling and Qinglian, but only Qianjiujiu herself entered, as Hongling and Qinglian were not allowed to go in.
Kneeling down to pay respects to His Majesty: "Your daughter-in-law has seen you, Father Emperor. May the Father Emperor live for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, and forever."
The emperor glanced at Qianjiu below, coughed twice, and then called out to her: "Rise, Xiawangfei. Someone has come to see you. Do you know who it is?"
Qianjiu looked at the emperor with some confusion: "I don't know what the empress did wrong?"
Saying that, Qianjiu still looked puzzled and glanced around the grand hall with a confused expression on his face, as if he knew nothing.
Xiao Cheng obviously didn't expect Qianjiu to be such a person, and the emperor's words were clearly conveying something. Suddenly, he walked out and said: "Your humble servant has seen Empress Xiang, it was your humble servant who came to see you."
Qianjiu blinked and looked at Xiaocheng: "What are you accusing me of? What have I done?"
"Empress Xiang, why must you pretend to be innocent now? Yesterday, outside the city, you openly drove away the Lin family's guards, saying that the medicine garden had caught your eye and was yours."
Qianjiu nodded and suddenly looked enlightened, gazing at Xiaocheng: "Then does Lord Xiao know who the Medicine Garden originally belonged to?"
Xiao Cheng furrowed his brow: "This official has investigated before, that medicine garden was originally the Lin family's property. Princess Wang, even if you're anxious to use the medicinal materials, you can just spend money to buy them."
"As far as I know, Xiaowang is not short of money."
Qianjiu sneered: "Is that so? Where did Lord Xiao find out? Is the medicine garden a property of the Lin family?"
Xiao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, but still honestly replied, looking at Qianjiu: "Of course it's in the government office, and there is another copy of the red contract in the Kyoto government office that proves the medicine garden belongs to the Lin family."
Qianjiu coughed twice and stopped talking, only gazing at Xiaocheng with a hint of a smile: "Lord Xiao, this princess has always heard that Lord Xiao is a good official."
"With a single heart for the welfare of the people, daring to confront the powerful and wealthy, but never thought that this is how adults confront the powerful and wealthy, it really broadened my horizons as a princess!"
Xiao Cheng's face turned bright red as he asked: "What does this mean, Wang Fei?"
Qianjiu didn't want to talk to Xiao Cheng anymore: "Let's wait until the good citizen you mentioned arrives before we say anything else."
As they spoke, the eunuch outside had already entered: "Your Majesty, all those related to this matter have arrived. Are we to proceed to the grand hall?"
His Majesty nodded: "Since you've come, then all of you come in."
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the eunuch shouted: "Bring in the witness."
Qianjiu coughed twice, and as she spoke, it seemed like she was the culprit. What a disgusting feeling! Standing aside, looking at the people coming in, surprisingly, they were the group of family members who were driven away from Yu's house yesterday.
Can't help but feel speechless, looking at Xiao Cheng: "Lord Xiao, is this the witness you were talking about?"
Xiao Cheng nodded: "Of course, these people were all driven away by you, Princess."
Qianjiu suddenly coughed and felt that Xiao Cheng might be mentally ill: "I, the princess, suddenly suspect that in the cases you handled before, were there any miscarriages of justice?"
