Chapter 161 The Ninth Prince Was Poisoned
Jiang Yunming was scolded and dared not cry out. He knelt on the ground and said with great sorrow: "Your Majesty, Princess Nanyang openly brought a man from outside to the Jiang family and allowed that man to beat up my wife. She is really arrogant! Due to Princess Nanyang's status, I dare not disrespect her, but she...but she..."
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Yunming kowtowed: "Please let your Majesty decide!"
Prime Minister Gu's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Your Majesty, that man from outside should be the murderer who poisoned He Yu. Please send someone to catch him immediately. Maybe he has an antidote!"
If the man next to Princess Nanyang is the murderer who poisoned He Yu, he will make him live a life worse than death!
Emperor Zhaocheng's face was as gloomy as water. His eyes turned around Jiang Yunming and Prime Minister Gu. He wondered whether Yan Li was really so unscrupulous, or they joined forces to deal with Yan Li?
Jiang Yunming was afraid that the emperor would not believe him, so he spoke in an anxious tone: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie. Everything I said is true. I still ask Your Majesty to make the decision!"
Emperor Zhaocheng said in a deep voice: "Ye Qi."
"I am here!" Ye Qi walked in and knelt on one knee, "I am waiting for Your Majesty-"
"Your Majesty." Jiang Yunming suddenly interrupted Ye Qi's words and pleaded, "I dare to ask Your Majesty to go to the Jiang family in person! Princess Nanyang has always been arrogant and domineering in the Jiang family. I am afraid that she doesn't take Commander Ye seriously at all."
"Please make the decision, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Gu kowtowed in cooperation, "I must catch that man, please make the decision for He Yu!"
Emperor Zhaocheng stared at them without saying a word, his eyes were deep.
The Jiang family and the Gu family, one belongs to the prince party, and the other strongly supports the fourth prince. They usually don't have time to calculate each other, but now they kneel here in unison and accuse Yan Li in unison.
What unforgivable crime did this little girl Yan Li commit that deserved such hatred from two people who were over fifty years old and still hostile to each other?
Emperor Zhaocheng put down his red pen and decided to go and see for himself.
"Ye Qi." He ordered coldly, "Choose two hundred people and follow me to the Jiang family."
"Yes."
"I will go and see for myself. If what you said is true, I will deal with it impartially." Emperor Zhaocheng stood up and walked out, his voice cold, "But if someone reverses the facts and deliberately deals with Yan Li, they should also know the consequences!"
Jiang Yunming's heart skipped a beat and he felt uneasy for no reason.
But he quickly suppressed this uneasiness.
It is a fact that Yan Li brought a wild man back to Liuliyuan. He has asked people to strictly guard Liuliyuan and will never let the thief escape.
Later, catch the adulterer in pairs and see how she explains.
It would be better to send someone to inform the Ninth Prince, so that the Ninth Prince can take a good look at what kind of character his fiancée is. At that time, he will definitely give up the idea of marrying her and let Yan Li go directly to marry.
Once Yan Liqian leaves Mu State, the Jiang family will return to its former noble and unrivaled days. The crown prince will soon be reinstated, and Jingyue will still be the honorable crown princess.
Sooner or later, the Jiang family will be the most distinguished royal family in the imperial capital.
Prime Minister Gu and Jiang Yunming followed the emperor, and the imperial guards arrived at the Jiang family in a grand manner. Wherever they passed, people knelt down to pay homage: "Your Highness!"
"Long live the emperor!"
Emperor Zhaocheng ignored them and went straight to the Liuli Courtyard.
Passing through the corridor, I saw from a distance that Master Jiang and the three sons of the Jiang family were standing outside the Liuli Courtyard. They were surrounded by countless guards in front, behind, and around them.
Looking at the situation in front of me, I am afraid that all the guards of the Jiang family have been transferred here.
"The emperor has arrived--"
Teacher Jiang and the descendants of the Jiang family came over and knelt down respectfully to salute: "The old minister pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Greetings to the emperor!"
"Teacher, please stand up." Emperor Zhaocheng looked around at the heavy guards outside the glass courtyard, and his tone was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. "This is the second time I have come to the Jiang family this year, and it is for Yan Li."
"The old minister is ashamed." Teacher Jiang bowed his head and apologized. "Family matters should not have disturbed the emperor, but the old minister could not make the decision on this matter, so Yun Ming was allowed to come to the palace to see the emperor. Please punish the emperor for disturbing the emperor."
"No problem." Emperor Zhaocheng looked at the glass courtyard, "Since I am here, I will naturally give the teacher an explanation."
Outside the courtyard gate, the imperial guards knelt on both sides to welcome the emperor.
Emperor Zhaocheng took a quick glance and found that the Jiang family guards were all stopped outside the courtyard. Even though they were numerous, they could not step into the courtyard gate.
It was enough to prove that the imperial guards he arranged did not fail in their duties.
"Your Majesty." Nanny An walked over quickly and knelt down. "This old servant pays respect to Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhaocheng turned to look at her: "Is Princess Nanyang in the room?"
"Your Majesty, the princess is in the room."
Emperor Zhaocheng frowned: "Why didn't she come out to greet you?"
"Your Majesty——"
"Your Majesty doesn't know." Jiang Tingyi suddenly spoke, his tone angry, "Princess Nanyang is now the most noble in the Jiang family. Not to mention her father and mother, even her grandfather and grandmother can't control her. Today, even the emperor doesn't care about her. She is totally disrespectful to the emperor and extremely rebellious! "
"Brother is right." Jiang Tingyan agreed bitterly, "Since Yan Li was named a princess, she has been doing whatever she wants in the Jiang family. She can go out whenever she wants and come back whenever she wants. Mother dares not to interfere or ask, and can only turn a blind eye and let her do whatever she wants!"
"It would be fine if she did whatever she wanted on weekdays, but she is engaged to the Ninth Prince, and the Kingdom of Jin is about to request a marriage, but Yan Li still does her own thing and is extremely arrogant!"
"Today is even more excessive. In public, she even brought the wild man back and allowed the wild man to hurt her mother. It's really... really infuriating and chilling!"
"I hope the emperor will make the decision!"
"Please make the decision!"
"It seems that the Jiang family is dissatisfied with Yan Li." Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was deep, and no emotional fluctuations could be heard. "Madame An, let Yan Li come out, I will listen to what she has to say."
"Your Majesty." Madame An knelt on the ground and said hesitantly, "You should go in and take a look."
Emperor Zhaocheng frowned: "What?"
Jiang Tingyan glared at him: "Madame An, is Yan Li really so arrogant that even the emperor can't invite her?"
Madame An ignored him and bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty, go and see it yourself, and you will know the difficulties of Princess Nanyang."
Seeing her like this, Emperor Zhaocheng was suspicious and stepped into the yard.
Yan Li just opened the door from inside the room and saw Emperor Zhaocheng and the crowd outside. He frowned slightly: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhaocheng walked to the door with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "What's going on?"
Yan Li made way to the side: "Your Majesty, please come in."
Emperor Zhaocheng entered the room and raised his hand to signal the attendants to stay outside.
A strong smell of medicine hit him in the face. Emperor Zhaocheng frowned subconsciously. When he turned around, he saw a man standing by the bed, feeling the pulse of the person on the bed.
Yes, there was a person half lying on the bed.
When Emperor Zhaocheng saw who that person was, his expression changed immediately: "Mu Cang?"
Yan Li gave a look to Nanny An, and Nanny An quietly closed the door from the outside.
Teacher Jiang and his son and the three brothers of the Jiang family in the yard looked at each other, and Prime Minister Gu, who came with the emperor, also looked thoughtful.
The situation seemed a little different from what he imagined.
"What's going on?" Emperor Zhaocheng walked into the inner room and looked at Mu Cang's face, with a serious expression on his face, "Wounded?"
Mu Cang leaned against the head of the bed, his face was extremely pale, and his eyebrows and eyes showed some visible weakness: "No."
Emperor Zhaocheng could see that Mu Cang was not pretending to be weak, so he frowned more tightly.
"The Ninth Prince was poisoned." Yan Li said calmly, "This kind of poison is not common, and no one in Mu Kingdom can even cure it."
