A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

After Su Yuanzhou left, he said through the door, "I don't have much time to give the princess. If the princess refuses to come out, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Chaoyun, who was in the room, closed his eyes tightly, his face pale. After a moment, he opened them again and forced himself to calm down.

There was a tearing pain in her lower abdomen, but Li Chaoyun didn't care about that anymore. She had no doubt that if she refused to change her clothes and go out, Su Yuanzhou would definitely send someone to take her out.

This wolf cub doesn't care about her face.

The aches all over his body made Li Chaoyun move very slowly, but he still managed to put on his clothes quickly.

She had just put on her clothes and had not yet straightened her clothes, washed her face and combed her hair when she heard Su Yuanzhou knocking on the door.

"If the princess doesn't want to come out again, I will send someone in to invite her in."

Li Chaoyun had no choice but to push the door open and leave, not caring about his dignity. Being forcibly taken away by these soldiers was even more undignified.

Su Yuanzhou took Li Chaoyun and Chen Ping, whose clothes were disheveled, out of the door.

When Emperor Xuande saw Li Chaoyun, he was startled and asked, "Why is Chaoyun here?"

Seeing Li Chaoyun with disheveled hair and untidy clothes, Emperor Xuande's face darkened.

Su Yuanzhou stepped forward and saluted, then spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, the King of Loyalty and Bravery is still investigating what the commotion in the mansion is all about."

"When I entered the courtyard, Princess Chaoyun was having sex with General Chen Ping in bed."

"Inside the room where the two of them live, there are fish, meat, wine and food. From what I see, they are all Princess Chaoyun's favorite dishes."

There is nothing wrong with having sex in bed and eating meat, wine and food. But when it comes to Li Chaoyun, it becomes a big problem.

Someone subconsciously looked at Shen Zhixiu, and seeing that his face was as gloomy as water, they knew that he was very angry.

Emperor Xuande did not expect Li Chaoyun to do such a thing. It had been less than a hundred days since Shen Zhiheng and his wife and Shen Zhao passed away, and she was pregnant with the heir of the Shen family. As a princess of the royal family, she did not observe mourning properly and actually did such a lowly and degenerate thing.

Chen Ping knelt on the ground humbly, not daring to say a word, not even to beg for mercy, for he was afraid that he would die faster if he opened his mouth.

Li Chaoyun recalled the love her uncle had shown her before, and crawled to Emperor Xuande's feet crying, "Uncle, calm down. Chaoyun was confused for a moment, and I won't dare to do it again."

But she forgot that the emperor favored her before because she looked similar to Princess Yongning.

Ever since the Emperor knew the Li family's attitude towards Princess Yongning, he naturally didn't love her as much as before. Her current status in the Emperor's sight was far inferior to Su Yuanzhou's.

Emperor Xuande looked down at Li Chaoyun and said, "Issue an order to strip Li Chaoyun of her title of Princess and demote her to a commoner."

At the same time, Song Hongshen hurried out of the house.

"Your Majesty, there was indeed a firearm that exploded inside. As for whether it was a firearm from the Military Equipment Bureau, I cannot tell."

When firearms were mentioned, the atmosphere around them became solemn again.

Emperor Xuande took a deep breath and looked at Li Chaoyun and Chen Ping, "What's the matter with the firearms in your house? Tell me the truth."

For Emperor Xuande, the most important thing was not to ask about Li Chaoyun's affair, but to find out the source of the firearms.

Li Chaoyun and Chen Ping were also surprised to hear that the sound just now was from a firearm.

Chen Ping quickly said, "Your Majesty, please be careful. I bought this house this morning and I didn't have time to look around. I really didn't know there were firearms inside."

Li Chaoyun also nodded hurriedly, "Uncle Emperor, Chaoyun doesn't know what firearms are. Someone must have framed Chaoyun."

Emperor Xuande couldn't stop being angry when he heard Li Chaoyun's words, "Fraudulent accusation? You slept with him, and you were also falsely accused? Who tied you up?"

Li Chaoyun's actions made the Shen family, the Li family, and even the royal family a laughing stock.

Emperor Xuande turned around and asked Shen Zhixiu beside him, "In your opinion, did this leak out from the Military Equipment Bureau? Or... is it that someone is secretly making firearms outside the palace?"

Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm afraid the Military Equipment Supervisor will have to come and check it out in person. But no matter which possibility it is, we need to take it seriously."

Emperor Xuande deeply believed that the power of firearms was clear to everyone present. Whether someone took firearms out of the Military Equipment Bureau or made firearms privately, it was a threat to the Great Zhou.

After a moment's silence, Emperor Xuande said to Shen Zhixiu, "I will order a thorough investigation of the Military Equipment Bureau. Mr. Shen and the Military Equipment Bureau's supervisor will assist in the investigation. If you have any doubts, please let me know at any time."

Shen Zhixiu lowered his eyes, bowed and replied, "Yes, I obey your order."

In fact, half a month ago, he discovered that the prince was privately purchasing raw materials for making firearms. One of the raw materials was only available on the newly improved blueprints after the batch of firearms from overseas were confiscated.

So he suspected that the prince had planted someone in the Military Equipment Bureau. This person was of a high rank and had access to the latest firearms blueprints.

But the prince was cautious, and Shen Zhixiu could not find out much. This time, he could take this opportunity to investigate openly.

When Li Chaoyun heard the emperor say that he would conduct a thorough investigation of the Military Equipment Bureau, his confused thoughts suddenly became clearer.

She looked at Shen Zhixiu meaningfully. Was he here for the prince?

Li Chaoyun knew better than anyone what the prince was doing. A thorough investigation of the Military Equipment Bureau would ensure that even if the prince's men were not caught, they would not dare to do anything in the short term.

If Shen Zhixiu wanted to catch the adulterer, he could just use fire or poison to force her and Chen Ping out. There was no need to throw a firearm behind them, as the firearm must be aimed at the Crown Prince.

Thinking of this, Li Chaoyun laughed at herself. She didn't know whether she had implicated her cousin the Crown Prince, or the Crown Prince had implicated her.

Shen Zhixiu is really a shrewd fox. He was very careful today and took everyone into account.

After talking about firearms, Emperor Xuande glanced at the adulterer Chen Ping out of the corner of his eye.

"Chen Ping will be thrown into death row and executed after the firearms incident is thoroughly investigated."

In other words, Chen Ping was kept only to investigate the firearms, after all, it was Chen Ping who bought the house. But no matter what the result of the thorough investigation was, Chen Ping would be sentenced to death.

When Li Chaoyun heard that he was going to execute Chen Ping, she cried and begged without thinking, "Uncle, please spare his life. This matter is not entirely his fault. Chaoyun is willing to be punished with him."

Emperor Xuande raised his foot to kick Li Chaoyun, but when he remembered that she was pregnant, he retracted his foot.

Of course, it was not because of Li Chaoyun, but because Li Chaoyun was pregnant with the Shen family's child. He valued Shen Zhixiu, so he naturally had to consider the Shen family.

Li Chaoyun saw clearly his action of raising his foot and then retracting it. Li Chaoyun thought that her uncle still had pity on her, so she begged for mercy even more vigorously.

Emperor Xuande was unmoved and said coldly: "Li Chaoyun, if I didn't care that you are still pregnant with the heir of the Shen family, I would definitely let you die with this adulterer."
