Long Live the Empress

The next day

The officials went to court in groups of three or four. When they saw Yue Hanwen, a look of embarrassment and sympathy appeared on their faces.

Yue Hanwen didn't understand what was going on and was still joking with others in a foolish manner.

morning

The prince's party reported to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, I want to report that Su Zhiwei, the commander-in-chief, disregarded human ethics and openly engaged in obscene acts with a man on a flower boat."

When these words came out, all the court officials were shocked. Even the old emperor found it hard to believe. "Are you serious, my dear minister?"

Another official immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, I can testify for him. That day was a flower boat party, and I stayed on the boat with my wife and daughter. This incident...I saw it with my own eyes."

Yue Hanwen was shocked. Su's brother had such a scandal, so he certainly couldn't escape. No wonder his colleagues looked at him like that just now...

The old emperor was furious, "One is Su Zhiwei and who is the other one?"

Everyone remained silent and turned their eyes to Yue Hanwen.

Yue Hanwen thought that they were reluctant to speak out because of their relationship with Su Zhiwei, so he stood up and said righteously, "Don't worry about others, just tell the truth. I will never disregard etiquette because of blood ties!"

Yan Liyuan clapped his hands a few times, "Since Prime Minister Yue is so impartial, just tell us the name of that person!"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

The old emperor was hanging in the air, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he pointed at an official and said, "You speak!"

The official glanced at Yue Hanwen, his eyes full of sympathy, "Your Majesty, that man is... is..."

The old emperor couldn't stand this man's hesitation, so he slammed the dragon table and said, "Hurry up and speak!"

"It's Prime Minister Yue's only son, Yue Tianhong..."

What! This name was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Yue Hanwen's mind and making him almost unable to stand. "You are talking nonsense! Hong'er is a humble and upright person, and he would never do such a despicable thing!" After Yue Hanwen angrily scolded the official, he knelt heavily on the ground, "Your Majesty, he is slandering me, please understand!"

The old emperor didn't believe it either. He subconsciously looked at Yan Liyuan. Seeing that Yan Liyuan didn't say anything, he asked the official again: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The official kowtowed heavily on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I saw all this with my own eyes. Other gentlemen can also testify for me!"

Several officials also knelt on the ground and testified for each other.

Yue Hanwen was completely dumbfounded. If it was just Su Zhiwei, he could just divorce Su to save himself. But if this matter involved Yue Tianhong... Yue Tianhong was his only son!

The old emperor was furious. "Come here, bring them both up!"

The waiting process was very long and short. When Su Zhiwei and Yue Tianhong met, they knew that the matter was exposed!

The old emperor and Yue Hanwen looked at Yue Tianhong who walked awkwardly. What else didn't they understand?

"Tell me, what's going on?" The old emperor asked in a deep voice, calming down his anger.

Su Zhiwei knelt on the ground, his back straight, "Your Majesty, someone framed the two of us that day, please investigate!"

"Oh? Framed? Do you have any evidence?" The old emperor looked at Su Zhiwei, hoping in his heart that Su Zhiwei was wronged. If officials in the court spread this matter, it would be a disgrace for him as the emperor.

"This..." Su Zhiwei was choked up. He couldn't say that he was originally planning to plot against Yue Jing...

Seeing that Su Zhiwei didn't say anything, Yue Tianhong tried to make a clever excuse, "Originally, Yue Jing was supposed to stay in that room, but I don't know why it became... became..."

When Yue Hanwen heard that this matter was related to Yue Jinghao, he was immediately furious, "Your Majesty, it must be that unfilial girl who framed Tianhong. Please investigate!"

Before the old emperor even spoke, Yan Liyuan smiled sinisterly, "Oh? How did Prime Minister Yue determine that it was Miss Yue who framed Master Yue?"

Yue Hanwen then remembered that there was a Ninth Thousand Years Old man standing behind Yue Jinghao, and he felt a little regretful for a moment, but Yue Tianhong was the only descendant of his Prime Minister's Mansion, and he couldn't let the Yue family die out! "My eldest daughter has always been a scheming person. She saw that I favored Tianhong, so she came up with this insidious way to deal with Tianhong!"

Yan Liyuan ignored Yue Hanwen's words and said, "Come here, tell Yue Jing that she is fine."

Yue Jinghao had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, so she arrived in less than half an incense stick of time.

Yan Liyuan hadn't seen Yue Jinghao for a month. Yue Jinghao seemed like a different person now, and there was no trace of her former small and ugly appearance.
