"Mr. Prefect——"
Mu Peiyun put on an impatient look, supported his head with one hand, and stared at the prefect coldly.
"There were more than just the palace gate commander guarding the palace gate that day. You didn't listen to what others said, but came to me to complain. Do you think I'm a pushover?"
"Also, Lord Prefect, have you forgotten that it was the carriage of Prince Heqin's mansion that collided with the carriage of the Crown Prince's mansion? Yet you trust the words of the Princess Heqin so much and instead doubt what I say. Could it be that..."
Mu Peiyun's voice rose and fell, and the tone of his voice almost scared the prefect to death.
"Could it be that the official hat of the prefect and the Prince's Palace..."
"Crown Princess, be careful with your words!"
"I was born in a poor family, passed the Spring Examination, and was able to take my current position thanks to the grace of the Emperor. There is absolutely no partiality on my part."
Mu Peiyun snorted in her heart. She was waiting for this sentence.
"In that case, please listen to what I have to say. I say that the Crown Prince was not with me that day. I would like to trouble you to ask a few more people and report the truth to the Emperor.
Please do not wrongly accuse His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I cannot guarantee what His Royal Highness will do then."
By now, Bi Shiqi had already arranged for all the people who would be guarding the palace gate on New Year's Eve, except Ao Zhishan.
If you want to pull out the nails, pull them out completely at once.
-
When Pei Xuan finished speaking, everyone in the court was shocked again.
The loss of the border city is an external threat, and now the crown prince is imprisoned, which is an internal worry.
The emperor's expression suddenly turned ugly again.
It seemed as if there was a villain in the dark in Mu Yunyu's heart saying, the highlight is coming.
Mu Yunyu's face was full of sadness, but he took the step of sacrificing his relatives for the sake of justice and came to the center of the court.
Everyone looked at each other and heard Mu Yunyu speak in great sorrow.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply distressed after hearing what Lord Pei said. Sixteen drivers were beaten to death. They were living people."
"Although I don't want to believe that this was done by His Royal Highness, but I and the princess did see it with our own eyes that day. The emperor ordered the sixteen drivers to be beaten to death."
"The driver drove the horse improperly and bumped into the Crown Princess. I understand that the Crown Prince was so angry for his beloved, but it was a life after all."
"I admire the clear and fair laws. The emperor broke the law for the common people. I ask the emperor to redress the injustice for the families of those drivers and give justice to the people of the world."
After saying that, Mu Yunyu knelt down heavily, with a very confident posture.
"I also ask the emperor to redress the grievances of the people and give them justice."
"I also ask the emperor to redress the grievances of the people and give them justice."
"I also ask the emperor to redress the grievances of the people and give them justice."
Most of the officials also knelt down on the ground along with Mu Yunyu, shouting that they were redressing the grievances of the people.
The emperor looked at Mu Yunchen again and again, and when he was in a dilemma, suddenly new news came.
The Crown Princess said that she had collided with the carriage of Prince Heqin's palace that day, but the person who beat the coachman to death was Prince Heqin, not her, and the Crown Prince was not with them that day, so this matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Hearing this, Mu Yunchen was shocked. She was going to take on all the responsibilities by herself and leave him out.
Silly Qingning, it was my fault that I wasn't careful enough and let Mu Yunyu take advantage of me.
"In that case, let's hand this case over to the Ministry of Justice and put all the people involved in this case in jail to await trial."
What this meant was that those who were causing trouble at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the wives and children of the sixteen coachmen, and... Mu Peiyun would all be thrown into jail.
Seeing that things were not going as he had planned, Mu Yunyu suddenly became anxious.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the Crown Prince should also be imprisoned. If the Crown Prince is innocent, it will be easier to prove his innocence and clear his name."
After these words came out, Mu Yunchen did not wait for the emperor to speak, and directly retorted: "Didn't Prince He hear what Lord Pei said? On New Year's Eve, I did not travel with the Crown Princess, so how could I order the driver to be beaten to death?"
Seeing that Mu Yunyu was about to refute, Mu Yunchen didn't give him the chance at all: "Prince Heqin, don't say that your princess can testify. In this matter, you and my crown princess are both suspects. No one's words count."
Mu Yunyu gritted his teeth. How come he hadn't noticed the prince's ability to lie with his eyes open before? He was really first-rate.
Could it be that the person he saw that night was a ghost?
But don't worry, he still has a backup plan.
“Your Highness, the words spoken by this minister and the princess are not to be believed, but there was a general on duty at the palace gate that night, and he saw you and the princess enter the palace together.
Moreover, he was at the scene when our two carriages collided, and he also saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Mu Yunchen disdained to argue, and snorted coldly: "How do I know whether you and the general on duty have colluded long ago? If you want me to be imprisoned, then please go with the prince."
Mu Yunyu was so angry that he raised his finger and pointed at Mu Yunchen for a long time without saying a word: "Prince, you......"
"Shut up!"
The emperor's roar was full of energy, and it sounded like he could still remain in office for another ten or twenty years.
The emperor was furious and everyone below knelt down.
After a moment of silence, the emperor spoke in an unhappy tone: "Since the Crown Prince and Prince Heqin each hold their own opinions, they should each return to their own residences to reflect on themselves, and then make plans after the Ministry of Justice has verified the facts."
Just confinement and reflection.
Mu Yunyu's fists made a crackling sound from his clenched fists (only he could hear it). He had planned carefully, but only managed to capture her, but not the prince. He was unwilling to accept this!
-
The news from the palace finally came back, and the prefect also breathed a sigh of relief. The Buddha in front of him could finally be sent away.
"Sixteen rickshaw drivers were beaten to death, and all the people involved were taken to the Ministry of Justice to await trial."
Mu Peiyun was relieved to see that the result was as she expected.
No matter what, she couldn't let Mu Yunchen go to jail again.
One of them had to be safe, so she had to let His Highness stay outside.
The two surviving drivers have not woken up yet. If they cannot survive this disaster, the only thing she can do is to keep Mu Yunchen alive and well.
She owed him a life in her previous life. If they couldn't be together forever in this life, then she would repay His Highness's kindness.
But - this is just the worst outcome.
She believed that His Highness would find a way to take her home.
