After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Everyone's expression changed because of her words, and they all looked at Emperor Jianxi and... Zhao Ying.

After all, Hu Yanxue's final crime was disrespect to Princess Chengqian.

Because Princess Chengqian was kind-hearted and knelt outside the Yangxin Palace for two or three hours to plead for Huyanxue, Emperor Jianxi reluctantly sent Huyanxue to the Inner Prison.

He's going to be released after only a few days in prison?

If you don’t let it go, this rain…the two spiritual children won’t ask for it anymore?

Isn't this a blatant threat to His Majesty?

Many people shook their heads, thinking that although Zhao Zihua was praised by everyone for her intelligence, this move was really... still that of a child!

Why doesn’t Princess Huai’an try to persuade him?

Are they using things that are for the benefit of the people as a bargaining chip?

The prince smiled sarcastically.

Shangguan Shu's eyes darkened.

They didn't mention this to him.

Emperor Jianxi was enjoying the gossip of all the ministers in the court and didn't react for a while.

Who should he spare?

Next, Zhao Zihua was full of confidence, certain that Emperor Jianxi would not reject her "conditions".

"Grandfather, my mother and I went to the inner prison to visit my sister recently. She has lost a lot of weight. She must have known she was wrong. I hope that Grandfather will take pity on her young age and release her!"

Emperor Jianxi liked Zhao Zihua very much. He was not too angry when faced with her "threat". He just looked at Zhao Yao with an unpredictable expression, "Huai'an, is this what you mean?"

Zhao Yao immediately came out of the team upon hearing the voice, looking as if he had not known anything about it. He glanced at Zhao Ying nervously and knelt down, "Father, please understand! How dare I plead for Xue'er? Xue'er offended Sister Ying, and your punishment is right and good! I dare not even complain!"

She bit her lip and said, "It is...it is my fault that I only know how to burn incense and pray for blessings on weekdays and have no time to teach Xue'er more. Let her make such a big mistake today...it is my fault!"

"Sister Ying has troubled me with your care over the years. Xue'er should be punished for offending Sister Ying!"

Shangguan Qingyue blinked, [You are dishonest, you have cursed my mother many times behind her back, and you still blame the emperor's grandfather for being partial! ]

[You said you were burning incense and chanting sutras in Jinghui Temple. Were you burning the incense of "The widow fighting Sanlang on a summer night" or the sutra of "The failed scholar forcibly seduces the nun on a rainy night"? Oh, do you have no shame! ]

Zhao Ying: ...

Shangguan Shu: ...

Emperor Jianxi: ...

The three of them frowned deeply.

As soon as Zhao Yao finished speaking, the number one lackey, Lin, ignored Prime Minister Liu's obstruction and stood up, "Your Majesty, Princess Huai'an burned incense and prayed for the sake of Da Chu. Princess Huai'an neglected the education of her children for Da Chu. I think that Princess Huai'an is not wrong, and Princess Huyan is not wrong either!"

Emperor Jianxi: Forget about burning incense and chanting sutras...

Cui was not afraid of death and directly questioned Zhao Ying, "May I ask Princess Chengqian, Princess Huyan has always been by your side. Is her unfilial behavior due to your highness?"

He almost said that Zhao Ying deserved it and that Huyan Xue was corrupted by Zhao Ying.

The surroundings were as silent as cicadas.

Shangguan Qingyue pouted, looking unconvinced, "My mother taught me to be such a smart and well-behaved child, which shows that she is a good mother."

[You raised a daughter who got pregnant before she got married. You are a bad mother! ]

[Mother, don't be angry, mother, don't be angry. When Yue'er can speak, I will tell everyone that Cui's eldest daughter Chang Fei committed adultery with Imperial Physician Xue and is pregnant! ]

Zhao Ying: …She seemed to remember that Cui’s eldest daughter was engaged to Prime Minister Liu?

[When Cui found out, she was furious because her daughter was already engaged to Prime Minister Liu's eldest son Liu Hai. Cui didn't want to lose this good marriage, so she tricked Master Liu to come and let Chang Fei seduce Master Liu, and then put the child on Master Liu's head. The Liu family is now waiting to hold their first grandson! ]

Zhao Ying:!!!

Emperor Jianxi: ...

Shangguan Shu: ...

Shangguan Shu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if Hu Yanxue was taught badly, it is the fault of this humble servant, her adoptive father. Princess Chengqian was well-educated and has noble character. It has nothing to do with her!"

Zhao Ying smiled sarcastically.

Look, father, Shangguan Shu and Huai'an are obviously in the same group, but Shangguan Shu behaves so caring and protective towards her. If she hadn't listened to Yue'er's voice, she would probably have burst into tears of gratitude by now, right?

Sure enough, Emperor Jianxi looked at Shangguan Shu with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Cui shook her head, "The prince really is devoted to Princess Chengqian!"

Is she praising Shangguan Shu?

It was to stab Zhao Ying with the final blow!

Look, it was you who failed to teach Hu Yanxue well. Your young master spoke for you and was deliberately biased towards you. It doesn't prove that you are not wrong!

The prince was furious, "How dare you! How dare you question Princess Chengqian like that?!"

"Someone, come! Pull Cui down and give him twenty lashes of the cane!"

Minister of Rites Chang Ziteng came out to plead, "Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me! My wife didn't mean it, please forgive me, Princess!"

"Haihan what?" Zhao Ying asked expressionlessly.

[Yes, yes! Hit her, hit her! ]

Zhao Ying gently stroked Shangguan Qingyue's head to calm the little guy's excitement.

Zhao Ying's words confused Chang Ziteng.

He wanted to ask Zhao Yinghai to forgive Cui's offensive words, but Cui's words would get her slapped in the face if it were said by a peasant woman, let alone a princess of a country?

He was somewhat speechless!

But fortunately, this princess is a stupid and cowardly one... Chang Ziteng no longer has any concerns.

The sky has fallen, but Princess Huai'an is holding it up, and behind her... the Prince of Zhenguo is holding it up!

"I hope... Your Highness... will forgive... what my wife said?"

Zhao Ying glanced at Cui with a smile, but did not comment.

Cui was also frightened and obviously forgot about Zhao Cong. She only thought that Zhao Ying would be harmed in terms of her reputation and Princess Huai'an if she was not punished, but she forgot about Zhao Cong!

Twenty big boards?

Didn't it cost her half her life?

Cui looked at Zhao Yao as if for help. Zhao Yao pulled Zhao Zihua. Zhao Zihua stood up and ran to Zhao Ying. When she saw Shangguan Qingyue, she did not forget to secretly glance at her.

Then she quickly retracted her gaze and looked at Zhao Ying pitifully, "Aunt, Zihua will apologize to Sister Xue on your behalf. Can Aunt forgive Sister Xue?"

[Your family has really figured out how to use moral blackmail...]

Shangguan Qingyue was no longer angry because she had already decided that she would teach them a lesson!

Wait, wait, just wait for her!

She is not unlucky in the Great Chu for nothing!

Zheng Miaomiao was so angry that she felt dizzy. She had no influence and her husband had died, so how could she have a say?

In fact, Cui and Lin had no right to speak, but they were Princess Huai'an's two knives, and it was obvious that they were targeting Zhao Ying today.

Zheng Miaomiao looked at Zhao Ying worriedly, hoping that she could be a little crueler and stop allowing Huai'an to bully her!

Zhao Ying sighed, squatted down, looked at Zhao Zihua, and said earnestly:

"Zihua, your sister was imprisoned in the inner prison not because she offended your aunt, but because she committed the crime of disrespect!"

"A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner... If Your Majesty pardons your sister, wouldn't that disrupt the rule of law?"

Zhao Zihua was outmaneuvered.

The child was young and couldn't react, so he was stunned.

All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

I didn't expect Princess Huai'an to make such a big fuss, but Princess Chengqian settled the matter with just a few words?

Huai'an and his group wanted to release Hu Yanxue and morally blackmail Princess Chengqian, but she clearly said that it had nothing to do with her. She, Hu Yanxue, had broken the law, and it was useless to beg her!

Zhao Zihua wanted to threaten His Majesty to grant him mercy, but "a prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner." If His Majesty released Huyan Xue, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the country and chill the hearts of the people of the world?

This, this, this...this has blocked the road?

And the height has increased...

What else is there to say?

What else is there to argue about?
