After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!
Chapter 196: Pressed into the Pit
The third prince was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't think about the other words carefully, just the word "hypocrite" made him very angry.
"Bold Song! How dare you insult me in the palace!" the third prince said sternly.
Song Mingli said calmly, "Third Prince, have you forgotten? You are from the royal family, the heavenly family!"
The Third Prince sneered, "Yes! I am a member of the Heavenly Family. I think you have forgotten!"
"The people of the heavenly family, the people of the world, are all the people of the heavenly family!" Song Mingli turned to the emperor and nodded, "All people in the world must rely on the grace of the heavenly family."
"If someone from the Heavenly Family is so irresponsible, and dares not admit his mistakes just to save his own face."
"If he is so ruthless to his own wife and children, how can he treat the people of the world?"
The Third Prince was startled when he heard this, "You..."
This, this is not the same thing!
Song Mingli is being unreasonable!
What he was talking about was that she, as a woman, was not faithful to her husband and gave birth to a child with another man!
How did it become that he was irresponsible, while Prince Jing was responsible and dared to admit his mistakes?
"No one is perfect. Prince Jing was framed and did something wrong."
"But now that Prince Jing has learned about what happened, he has the courage to abandon his dignity as a prince and admit his mistakes and take responsibility."
Song Mingli knelt down while speaking, "Even if the emperor wants to execute me, in my heart, Prince Jing is still a hero."
The third prince glared at Song Mingli.
This woman is really confusing!
They were talking about her fault for not being faithful to her husband, but she went on to put all the blame on Prince Jing?
"Oh, you speak better than you sing. It's all Prince Jing's fault! Aren't you wrong?"
"We are talking about you now! You are a filthy person, and you are not a faithful wife. You admire Prince Jing? Why don't you say that you are thinking about Prince Jing?"
Song Mingli blinked.
Chu Yanchen sneered, "It turns out that Third Brother knows nothing and is just making random accusations and giving random advice."
"It is also my fault. I should clear my name in this matter."
“I beg you, Father, to make public the truth behind this matter and publicly try Gu Qingshan to prove Li’s innocence.”
The third prince was stunned when he heard this, and he looked at his fourth brother in astonishment.
It's not that he didn't know the truth... He just didn't expect that the fourth brother would really be willing to take all the blame on his own? Take Song Mingli out?
"You...Old Four, you better think it through!"
"If Song Mingli is innocent, then you are the criminal who forcibly took the wife of a minister!"
Even if Chu Yanchen is so-called "responsible", he can't push himself into a trap, right?
The third prince stared at him with great suspicion.
Suddenly, a child's tender voice was heard in the hall.
"Your Majesty, if the truth is uncovered during the trial and my mother is proven innocent, Jingyou will no longer be called a bastard, right?"
As soon as the childish voice came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.
The emperor felt a sudden pang in his heart.
His grandson, the emperor, was actually being called a bastard!
"Trial! Public trial!" said the emperor in a deep voice.
The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
If there was an open trial, Song Mingli would indeed be found innocent. When she was sent to another man's bed, she had already been plotted against by the people closest to her.
But this matter cannot be easily revealed!
Since Song Mingli is innocent, Prince Jing cannot be innocent!
"I heard that the Gu family is being held in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Why not order the Ministry of Justice to try the case?" The third prince bowed.
Li Shaochun, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is his man.
As long as the person is in the hands of the Ministry of Justice and the sovereignty of the trial lies with the Ministry of Justice, he is sure that he can make Chu Yanchen suffer!
Didn’t Chu Yanchen want to protect Song Mingli?
The emperor was about to nod.
Chu Yanchen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have another request."
"Fourth brother, you must be sensible. You can't be greedy just because your father loves you." The third prince shook his head and smiled, "The emperor has promised you that he will conduct a strict review of this case. It would be inappropriate for you to make excessive demands again."
Chu Yanchen ignored him, "Song Mingli's request to divorce her husband is related to this case. I beg the emperor to allow the two cases to be tried together."
When the third prince heard this, he was secretly happy.
This is good, putting the two cases together gives us more room for maneuver.
"I beg you, father, to send this case to the Dali Temple and have the three courts try it together, so that it will be fair and strict." Chu Yanchen bowed.
The third prince was stunned when he heard this.
The Three-Court Trial was the most stringent trial system of the time, requiring the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate to each send an official to jointly hear the case.
Whenever a major case occurs, the three-court joint trial system is used.
The third prince wanted to speak, but once the three judges held a joint trial, Li Shaochun would have very little room to maneuver.
But since this case involves the royal family, can it still be said that it is not a major case?
The Third Prince frowned and said in a deep voice, "If the result of the trial shows that the Song family or you, the Fourth Prince, are indeed at fault, what will you do as a prince?"
Chu Yanchen didn't even blink, "I am willing to be stripped of my royal title and demoted to a commoner."
The third prince suppressed his smile and was secretly delighted.
"If my parents are innocent, and my uncle is so aggressive, are you willing to apologize to my parents in public? Admit that you are irresponsible and mean?"
Jingyou, who was sitting on the emperor's lap, suddenly jumped to the ground. He was only slightly higher than the imperial desk.
At this moment, he was looking at the third prince with an intimidating aura.
The Third Prince took a deep breath. Is it necessary to check this? Is it necessary to verify this?
The child's aura, including the stern eyes, are all carved from the same mold as the fourth child!
And that annoying energy!
"Hey, the adults are talking, why are you butting in, kid?"
The Third Prince half-jokingly said, "Besides, it's very uneducated of you to speak to your Third Uncle like that."
"Confucius said, 'Repay evil with good. How do you repay good? You should repay evil with justice, and repay good with virtue.'"
Jingyou's momentum was not weak at all, "If Third Uncle is kind, I will repay him with filial piety. If Third Uncle is not kind, why blame me?"
The third prince was speechless after being rebuked by Jingyou.
No, how old is this child?
How dare you look him in the eye, reply to him like this, and even quote scriptures?
The kid was almost pointing at his nose and saying, you don't deserve it.
The third prince looked unhappy.
The emperor laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, Jingyou is right. Third brother, only by cultivating yourself and being virtuous can you be respected by others."
"...Yes, father, I will follow your teachings." The third prince gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Unexpectedly, Jingyou hasn't forgotten what happened just now.
"So, does Third Uncle dare to agree?" Jingyou asked again.
Third Prince:...
Seeing that his father not only did not stop him, but also looked at him with scrutiny.
The Third Prince gritted his teeth secretly, "Why shouldn't I dare?"
"It's a deal." Jingyou curled his lips at him.
He looks just like the annoying Chu Yanchen!
The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded, "Order the three judicial officials and the Embroidered Uniform Envoy to jointly investigate this case!"
Three days later, the case was publicly tried in the Dali Temple.
The third prince wanted to embarrass Chu Yanchen and Song Mingli, so he asked people to spread the news in Kyoto.
On the day of the public trial, the Dali Temple was packed with people.
There are more people than those attending the temple fair.
Fortunately, the people involved in this case have arrived at the Dali Temple in advance and are now waiting for the trial.
The Emperor and Empress Chenfei also came in disguise and were now in the back hall.
"Don't worry about me. I will never interfere with your trial. You must conduct the trial impartially."
