This time, neither the court officials nor Emperor Jianchang were calm after hearing the news.

The look Tao Zhihong cast towards Xiao Lichen was also full of danger.

Brat, if he dares to use sweet words to trick his daughter away, he will kill him with a chop.

No man in the royal family is a good person, let alone Xiao Lichen, who was born in Prince Yong's mansion. His father had been favoring concubines and neglecting his wife for many years. The chaotic struggles in the mansion were no less than those in Your Majesty's harem.

Their daughter has always been one who cannot stand being bullied, and they absolutely cannot let her marry into the royal family and suffer bullying, but they and their husband have no way to vent their anger.

The other court officials looked at Xiao Lichen and Tao Zhihong with complex and unpredictable gazes.

If Xiao Lichen really became Tao Zhihong's son-in-law, they would be in trouble.

They are a powerful alliance, so won't they secretly take revenge on those who speak for Marquis Wei Jing and Prime Minister Wang?

I'm sure that Your Majesty would never allow his close minister to marry a general who commands a large army.

As the commander of the Xiaoyu Guard, he can collect intelligence on officials from all over the Great Zhou and present it to His Majesty. He can detain court officials at will. He can also go to the border to supervise the troops on behalf of His Majesty and deal with the barbarians together with the general of the court.

If we were to say who they fear the most in the court, it would be none other than Xiao Lichen!

"As the prime minister of a country, you can ruin my reputation at will and slander me without any basis. Prime Minister Wang, you are so bold!"

How could Tao Yuwei allow the other party to insult her in person?

She was closer to Xiao Lichen before, but they also cooperated secretly. Everything was clear between them. How come this stinky old man said that she and Xiao Lichen were unclear?

"Uncle Emperor, Wang Xiang is the head of all officials in the Great Zhou. In order to strike down his political enemies, he has acted outrageously and slandered me. I ask Uncle Emperor to make the decision for me and dismiss him from his post!"

Tao Yuwei's delicate little face was filled with anger, and she was almost crying.

"Uncle Emperor, they always maliciously accuse me, a little girl who has not yet grown up, and use my innocence to argue. They are trying to force me to death! Uncle Emperor, you will definitely not watch me die under their evil words, right?"

After Tao Yuwei said these words with a look of grievance on her face, all the civil officials were speechless.

Only then did they realize that what Wang Xiang had just said was indeed a bit too much for Princess Anle.

"Prime Minister Wang, is what you just said true? Bring out the evidence."

Emperor Jianchang slapped the armrest of his wheelchair in anger, frowned and demanded evidence in a stern voice.

What little girl Anle said makes a lot of sense. These people have reached the point of using any means necessary to attack their political opponents.

The malicious intent of using Anle's innocence to justify his actions again and again is too obvious.

Facing the wrath of Emperor Jianchang, Prime Minister Wang remained calm.

"Your Majesty, someone personally saw Prince Xiao personally escort Princess Anle back to the General's Mansion."

He has a witness in his hand.

"I know about this. Anle went into the palace and came back a little late. For her safety, I ordered Chen'er, who was about to leave the palace, to see her off."

Emperor Jianchang recalled the last time Tao Yuwei came to the palace to ask about his health. Xiao Lichen also came to the palace to discuss official business with him at that time, and the three of them had dinner together.

He knew everything about that incident. It was too much for that old man Wang Lingchang to bring up this matter.

Emperor Jianchang's words made Wang Lingchang and the others kneel down, their heads resting on the ground with trepidation, and they cried out, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

His Majesty has personally come forward to testify for Princess Anle, so they can no longer pursue her.

After all, using this matter to attack Princess Anle is also a disadvantage.

However, they are not afraid of His Majesty's wrath, after all, they are innocent of ignorance.

"This is a misunderstanding, everyone get up!" Emperor Jianchang did not pursue the matter too much.

More important than this is the wooden box held in the hands of the eunuch Zhao Chong.
