Imperial Palace, inside the Chuigong Hall——
Emperor Jingzhao, wearing red court robes and a Tongtian crown on his head, sits firmly on the high throne. His imperial majesty cannot be offended.
Xiao Nanchuan and the eldest prince stood at the bottom, and opposite them were the Imperial Censor Xu Hantang and the National Defense General Pei Yuanzhong.
The hall was as silent as a mouse. The chief eunuch, Gaokao, took the tea brought by the young eunuch and carefully presented it to the emperor.
Su Yunling followed Su Zhaohong and Su Yueying and knelt at the back. In order to avoid being taken out on by others, she had the foresight to stay as far away from them as possible.
"Bang——" Sure enough, the next moment, a sky-blue glazed teacup fell heavily at Su Zhaohong's feet and broke into several pieces.
Su Zhaohong was so frightened that his body trembled, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Su Yunling felt happy when she saw Su Zhaohong was frightened.
Emperor Jing Zhao glared at Su Zhaohong, raised his hand and threw down several memorials submitted by the censors.
"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, take a look at yourself...the two good daughters you raised really impressed me!"
The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.
Su Zhaohong's hands, which were supporting the ground, were shaking due to nervousness. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Su Yueying who was kneeling beside him.
Compared to the nervous Su Zhaohong, Su Yueying was much calmer, not even panicked at all.
Su Yunling guessed that she should have already prepared a backup plan to protect herself.
Su Zhaohong found some courage in the calm Su Yueying. He picked up the impeachment memorial on the ground and tapped the ground with his forehead: "Your Majesty, the rumor is untrue. I am innocent!"
General Pei stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue indulged the legitimate daughter in committing evil and crimes, and for his own selfish desires, forced the concubine's daughter to take the blame. This disregard for etiquette and covering up the unbearable facts of the legitimate daughter is truly deceiving the emperor and where is the dignity of the royal family? Please punish him severely."
Su Yunling lowered her head and smiled secretly, "Godfather is so awesome, please say more."
Xiao Nanchuan followed suit and expressed a different opinion, "Your Majesty, the Su family's legitimate daughter is linked to the fate of our Great Yin Dynasty. Minister Su's actions are understandable. I hope Your Majesty will... make a holy judgment."
Emperor Jing Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Nanchuan, his complex and unpredictable eyes revealing a hint of danger.
"Qing'an, I didn't know you were involved in this. Do you know what role you played in the rumors outside the palace? Coveting the prince's wife..."
"Your Majesty, the rumors are completely groundless. The second daughter of the Minister of Revenue is my concubine who has never been married, so I went to the procuratorate to attend the trial."
After hearing what he said, Su Yunling snorted in her heart. It was obvious that he chose her to be his concubine, not only because she was somewhat similar to Su Yueying, but more importantly, he could use her as a cover to have an affair with Su Yueying.
The eldest prince, who had been silent on the side, heard this and gave Xiao Nanchuan a look that showed he saw through everything but didn't say anything.
He knew exactly how many men were thinking about his princess.
He was not angry about this, but instead felt sympathy for those poor people who were destined to be unable to get the love they wanted, because the final winner could only be him.
Now he only cares about one thing, that is the truth about Su Yueying's secret dealings with others.
Emperor Jing Zhao sneered and curled his lips: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. I heard that you were responsible for Miss Su's imprisonment? Since she is your concubine, what is your purpose in doing this?"
Emperor Jing Zhao naturally made an accurate judgment. He did not expose the truth only for the sake of Prince Rui's face and to prevent the brothers from creating any rift.
If Su Yueying's identity wasn't special, what would be wrong with giving it to Xiao Nanchuan as a reward?
His warning today was also to make Xiao Nanchuan put himself in the right position and not make the same mistake again.
"Your Majesty, I did side with Miss Su, but it was not out of any selfish motive. Everything was for the sake of the Great Yin's national destiny, and I didn't want to embarrass Your Majesty, so I can only let Miss Su down for the time being."
Emperor Jing Zhao frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
Su Yueying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was the Imperial Master who arranged for me to go to Caiyue Tower..."
Imperial Master? Su Yunling suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.
No wonder Su Yueying was not panicked at all, it turned out that she relied on this.
The arrival of National Master Xuan Mo finally gave Su Zhaohong a break.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Xuan Mo bowed to Emperor Jing Zhao.
This person has a very good appearance, just like the bright moon, and is in no way inferior to Xiao Nanchuan.
But he is even colder than Xiao Nanchuan. Even in front of the emperor, he always maintains a calm attitude and is not surprised by praise or criticism.
Emperor Jing Zhao explained to Xuan Mo the purpose of summoning him. Su Yunling didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Xuan Mo's eyes swept across her face several times intentionally or unintentionally.
"Your Majesty, yesterday the Astronomical Observatory detected that the Horn Star was dim. The Horn Star is the horn of the dragon, and the dragon horn is the head of fighting and killing. The loss of the dragon horn is indeed a bad omen, indicating that Great Yin will definitely face a catastrophe within three years."
Emperor Jing Zhao was shocked. "We will discuss this matter later. I summoned you here today to confirm what Miss Su did."
Xuan Mo continued, "In fact, more than three months ago, I discovered an unusual phenomenon through divination. Fortunately, Miss Su is closely related to the Great Yin, so I can let her take on the calamity to break this bad omen. Miss Su did not go to Caiyue Tower to do it privately, but to go to take on the calamity for the Great Yin under my instruction."
Next, according to Xuan Yan, the man that Su Yueying had a "secret meeting" with in Caiyue Tower was none other than the Imperial Master Xuan Mo. Su Yueying's beating of General Pei and then having Su Yunling take the blame and go to jail were all pre-planned arrangements.
There is only one purpose, which is to let Su Yueying face the disaster and thereby help Dayin avoid the disaster.
This matter requires the clever use of heaven's secrets and can only be accomplished by keeping it secret, so I have only reported it to Emperor Jing Zhao today.
It's a pity that just when they were about to conceal the truth and help Dayin survive this disaster, Miss Su II beat the drum to appeal for justice after she was released from prison, causing the plan to fail.
Xuan Mo's speech not only cleared Su Yueying of all unfavorable suspicions, but also created an image for her of a righteous person who sacrificed herself for the country.
And Su Yunling, the victim from beginning to end, became the scourge who deserved to suffer.
Su Yunling looked at Su Yueying's smug challenge towards her, as if to say, "Let me see how you die."
Su Yunling was already so angry that she was numb. If she continued to force her, the worst that could happen would be that the Su family would go to hell with her, and she would still make a profit.
When Xuan Mo saw that Emperor Jing Zhao looked at Su Yunling with dissatisfaction, he knew that his words had worked.
Although the law and justice must not be violated, compared with the rise and fall of the country, Su Yunling's personal grievances are not worth mentioning.
"According to the national teacher, since the one who is to be robbed is the daughter of national destiny, why should we let someone else do it? What's the explanation for this method?" Obviously, Emperor Jing Zhao was skeptical.
"Your Majesty, Miss Su is the daughter of the nation's destiny. If she is really imprisoned, it will bring disaster to the Great Yin, so we must find someone to replace her. The person who takes the place of the daughter of the nation's destiny must be a close relative who is related to her by blood and looks similar to her in order to conceal the truth. Therefore, I have chosen Miss Su II."
Su Yunling cursed inwardly: How interesting, she is asked to take the blame for being imprisoned and tortured, so can she also be asked to take the blame for being the queen?
In a word, all the good things belong to her, Su Yueying, and she can take the consequences for the bad things!
Xuan Mo is really good at making up stories, and the emperor was willing to believe them. No wonder he lost his country later.
Live it!
One is Xiao Nanchuan, the other is Xuan Mo. Both of them have a special status in Emperor Jing Zhao's heart. They are like Su Yueying's left and right arms. If you want to defeat Su Yueying, you have to destroy them first.
"Yueying has been wronged, please calm down first!" Emperor Jingzhao looked at Su Yueying, and his tone finally softened.
Su Yunling almost couldn't hold back from cursing out loud. What kind of injustice had she suffered?
She was the one who was imprisoned, beaten, and disfigured...
What should I do if I want to kill this dog emperor?
