No one would have thought that on the first day of the new year, they would witness Ning Guo Gong's first accusation against Chang Jing.

While everyone looked at each other, more people looked at the prince.

Who doesn't know that Chang Jing is the prince's uncle?Once again, only Dong Gong obeyed. He dared to sell the people of Zhou Dynasty. It is difficult to say that there was no instruction from Dong Gong behind such a serious crime.

No matter how stupid the prince was, he still knew the meaning of everyone's eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Father, someone must have framed this matter!"

Ning Guogong sneered: "Is the prince saying that the old minister is setting him up?"

The prince ignored him and looked at his superior: "Father, do you still remember the flood last year? At that time, someone framed Chang Jing and bribed his officials who were responsible for the dam construction. After the flood turned into a catastrophe, Let’s try to silence him again! If it weren’t for my father’s clear warning, I’m afraid Chang Jing would have been killed long ago.”

The flood in the south of the Yangtze River was a trap set up by the second prince to frame the prince. In order to prevent the people from being disappointed in the royal family due to party disputes, the matter was kept secret from the outside world, but the emperor knew it.

When the prince saw the emperor's serious face, he knew that he had listened to his words, so he continued: "The incident reported to the emperor by Ning Guogong just now is very strange. There is no guarantee that it is not another frame-up!"

Ning Guogong is the in-law of the second prince!

The emperor straightened up and glanced at the prince: "I will verify it. If what the Duke said is true, I will not let Chang Jing go."

His tone was calm, but the prince knew that his father was warning him.

If this matter is true, my father... will not be lenient.

He wanted to say more, but saw Ning Guogong take another step forward: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. This matter is very involved and of great importance. Therefore, the minister has brought the witnesses and physical evidence outside the palace, and your Majesty can interrogate it in person!"

Veins popped out on the prince's forehead.

He hurriedly asked: "Do you want your father to go to court for you to hear the case?"

Ning Guogong reported back: "I don't dare. It's just that on the way to the capital, this witness was repeatedly intercepted and killed by the secret guards in the capital. I'm afraid that if we delay for a long time, they will be murdered in the capital!"

The emperor frowned: "In the capital, by my side, even if it is true as Aiqing said, Chang Jing would not dare to come here to kill people and silence them!"

"Your Majesty clearly knows that the people who assassinated them are not Chang Jing's people..."

As soon as Ning Guogong finished speaking, the prince's face instantly turned pale.

He suddenly looked at the emperor: "If this matter is confirmed, it will have a wide impact. Chang Jing will be blamed for hundreds of deaths. The matter is of great importance. My father should immediately send someone to tell Chang Jing to come to the capital for questioning."

The emperor could clearly see the panic in his eyes.

But he knew that his son, although occasionally confused, would never make such a big mistake.

I'm afraid there's something fishy in it.

In the presence of the civil and military officials of the court, he also wanted to leave some escape routes for the prince, so he nodded: "What the Duke and the prince said are reasonable, so they left the witness in the palace. I immediately ordered someone to summon Chang Jing. Confrontation between the two dynasties! Does the Duke think this is okay?"

When Ning Guogong saw this, he couldn't say anything else.

Seeing that the best opportunity to expose this matter was about to be missed, a blast of wind from Mu Rong's hand hit Duke Ning in the crook of his leg.

So, the veteran minister knelt down in front of everyone.

Everyone: "..."

emperor:"……"

And Ning Guogong himself didn't expect it.

He saw the greenish-black color on the emperor's face and knew that his move was tantamount to forcing him into the palace...

However, now that the matter has come to this, he has already offended the emperor. If he doesn't say anything now, I'm afraid all the hard work in the past half month will be in vain!

So, he raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the people who went to intercept the murder certificate were the secret guards of the East Palace! They were ordered by the prince to go to silence Lord Chang Jing!"

Full of uproar.

The prince's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

Because he saw the emperor's eyes, which were particularly cold.

……

The officials and their families in the capital were all in panic that day.

There is no other reason, it's just that my master has never come back since he went to court.

The morning pilgrimage usually only lasts for an hour, and with the time spent going back and forth, two hours is enough.

But on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day of court, the court had not yet gone to court in the evening.

Regardless of the severe cold, the officials and their families gathered outside the palace gate, fearing that something would happen inside.

Only at the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, everything was as usual.

Xu Rongrong was nestled in the room. She was in much better spirits today. She fell asleep occasionally, but woke up after a while.

Wen Yao fed her some water: "Miss, do you want to eat?"

Xu Rongrong shook his head: "He...hasn't he come back yet?"

"The Marquis has not come back since he went to court in Maochu." Wen Yao responded.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the house, Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "I think the matter at Huangzhuang has been settled, and the prince... has also been dragged into the water this time."

Wen Yao was a little surprised: "Why are you so sure, young lady? Doesn't His Majesty always love the prince the most?"

"It is precisely because of love that if he wants to keep the prince, he will leave the court early and deal with it privately. The longer the court meeting lasts, the less chance the prince will have to make a comeback."

"I see..." Wen Yao sighed, "The prince is really unlucky."

The prince's reputation has always been mediocre, but he has never done anything outrageous.

This matter was also dragged down by Chang Jing's incident. Thinking that he, a high-ranking prince of the East Palace, would be like a commoner in the future, Wen Yao felt a little pitiful for him for a moment.

"What's so unlucky?" Xu Rongrong raised the corner of his mouth, "If he is an ordinary citizen and is implicated for no reason, it would be a bit pitiful... But who is he? He is the prince, the future emperor of the Zhou Dynasty... Chang Jing is a human trafficker. Maybe he really doesn’t know about it, but the abnormal income of Huangzhuang every year and the silver tribute paid by Chang Jing every year, doesn’t he know that there is something fishy in it?”

"He is so confused just for the sake of petty convenience. If in the future... he really becomes the Ninth Five Supreme Being, it won't be long before the great Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed because of his confusion. Then... what should the people do?"

After Xu Rongrong finished speaking, he looked at Wen Yao: "The moral integrity is not worthy of the right, and it harms the people of a country."

Wen Yao responded hurriedly: "I know this."

"Rong Rong's knowledge is far-reaching, and she is really different from ordinary women." A tall and slender figure walked in from the door, and the chill he brought around him quickly merged with the cold air in the room.

After he finished speaking, he walked to the bed: "I have always been worried that you would think that I am cruel and cruel. I didn't expect... that you would be so transparent."

Xu Rongrong looked at him: "Is there a conclusion?"

Mu Rong nodded, sat beside her, and placed her cold hand in his palm: "Your Majesty issued a decree to imprison the prince in the East Palace. No one is allowed to visit. The imperial army has left the city and went to Xianzhou to capture Chang Jing. ”

He said that he wanted Xu Rongrong to witness this moment in person.

"Your Majesty is really willing..." Xu Rongrong was a little worried at first, but she didn't expect that he would actually issue an edict... This is an imperial edict.

Mu Rong smiled and said: "Your Majesty's love has its limits."

After saying that, he took a deep look at Xu Rongrong, "But my love for Rongrong... is infinite."
