I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

From the Wenchang Marquis Mansion to the Imperial Palace, Mu Qingyan felt that this road was longer than all the roads she had walked in her past and present lives combined.

She kept turning her face away, not daring to look in that direction again.

But at the back of her head, there was a burning gaze staring at her, never moving away.

As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, she immediately stood up and jumped out, and walked into the palace gate without looking back. The guards at the gate recognized her and would not stop her.

Prince Ling stood on the carriage, looking at the fleeing figure for a long time, then he got off the carriage with a smile.

Ah Shang looked at his own prince, then at Mu Qingyan, and poked Ah Shu's elbow, "Hey, do you think the prince had a quarrel with the eldest girl?"

Ah Shu crossed his arms and rolled his eyes at him, "You had a quarrel with your lover, how can you still laugh?"

Ah Shang thought it made sense, "Hey, where are you going?"

When he reacted, A Shu had already mounted the horse.

"Let's go to the Duke's Mansion. You wait here for the prince to come out. I'll be back soon—"

Inside the Chongwen Hall, the four families of Zhang, Wang, Lin and Chen, and Mu Yingyu and Zhang Song stood together.

Marquis Wenchang lay on a stretcher, dying.

Princess Pingyang stood beside him with a cane, her face full of anger, "Emperor, should I sue Mu Qingyan? She broke into the mansion and not only injured my guards and servants, but also crippled my son!"

Late in the night, Emperor Jianning felt a terrible headache just looking at her. Even at this time, she was still thinking of confusing right and wrong.

He looked at Mu Yingyu and told Wang Quan, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Dr. Liang and a female doctor to come over and take Princess Le'an to the back hall to heal her."

Princess Pingyang looked at the emperor's attitude and thought to herself that something was not good. She was afraid that today's incident would not end well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave..."

Mu Yingyu, supported by Zhang Song, followed Wang Quan out of the house and met Mu Qingyan at the door. "Sister..."

Wang Quan hurriedly said, "Young lady, please go in quickly. His Majesty is still waiting for you... His Majesty has ordered me to take the county lady to the back hall to treat her injuries..."

Mu Qingyan bent her knees slightly, "Thank you, Eunuch..."

"No, no, you are too polite, young lady... I will take my leave..."

Just as she turned around, she heard Wang Quan's voice again, "Greetings, Your Majesty..."

Mu Qingyan's heart skipped a few beats. She patted it with her hand and it returned to its original place.

She walked to the front of Emperor Jianning, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, your servant..."

"My sister-in-law is here, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

When Princess Pingyang heard the word "sister-in-law", she couldn't stop her anger. "Your Majesty, what do you mean? This woman dared to break into my mansion and cause trouble, and even hurt my son. Your Majesty, don't you intend to pursue it? You are taking advantage of the decline of Prince Ji's mansion and that I, an old woman, have no one to support me, right?"

When Emperor Jianning heard her unreasonable words, his head hurt even more.

"Princess Pingyang, be careful with your words. I am not old and my eyesight is not blurry yet. I know what is right and wrong in today's matter. I hope you know the same thing!"

Princess Pingyang slammed the cane in her hand on the ground, "Of course I know! That Miss Mu San is shameless and seduced my son! This bitch took the opportunity to come to my house and hurt my son!"

"My sister is in the prime of her life. Even if she wanted to seduce someone, there are so many young men from noble families in Kyoto. Why did she have to seduce your son, an old man? What did she want? Because he's old? Because he doesn't take a bath?"

Prince Ling just walked in and heard these words. He suppressed his laughter and bowed, "Royal brother..."

Emperor Jianning could hardly hold back any longer and wanted to turn his head away and laugh for a while.

He had never seen anyone who could get the upper hand under Princess Pingyang's words.

But his sister-in-law was able to handle her with ease!

Princess Pingyang was so angry that her face turned red. "You, you bitch! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty? Do you still have the royal family in your eyes?"

Mu Qingyan was not going to indulge her. "If the princess truly respected the royal family, then we wouldn't have to go to court today. Do you think all of us have nothing to do?"

The Zhang family spoke up, "Your Majesty, my daughter passed away only half a year after marrying into the Marquis' Mansion. When she died, we were not even allowed to see her body. The Marquis' Mansion did not even tell us where she was buried. Every time we wanted to seek justice, Princess Pingyang used her royal status to pressure us, saying that if we dared to report this to Your Majesty, our family members would never be able to make a name for themselves..."

The Wang family also said, "Your Majesty, this is also the case with my daughter! Although a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, she is still our own child. She died, and we want to see her for the last time and pay our respects to her. Is this not allowed? How can this be justified in the world..."

Madam Lin was even more heartbroken. “My daughter has been in good health since she was a child. She seldom caught a cold. She married into the mansion for only eight months, and they said she died of a sudden illness. I sent people to secretly monitor the mansion for several days, but they didn’t even hold a funeral. They just wrapped her in a mat, carried her out from the back door, and threw her into a mass grave… My poor daughter, the coroner said, most of her bones were broken… She was obviously tortured to death, not a sudden illness… I went to her house to argue, but Princess Pingyang bit back, saying that my daughter couldn’t stand the loneliness and had an affair with the housekeeper, so she was beaten to death. She also threatened me, saying that if this matter got out, the other girls in my Lin family would have no chance to live as human beings… Your Majesty, is this fair…”

Lord Chen came by himself. "My daughter also died in an unclear manner. She was raped by a scoundrel and buried somewhere unknown... My wife couldn't bear the blow and is now unconscious. She can only rely on medicine to maintain her life... Your Majesty, although I was born in a poor family and don't have a noble background, I am also an upright official appointed by the court. But it is precisely because of my humble background that I can't even seek justice for my daughter..."

Lord Chen knocked his head heavily on the ground, crying and sobbing.

Prince Ling took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and presented it to him. "This is the list of innocent women who were violated by the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion. There are also their parents' handprints on it. Please have a look, my brother..."

Emperor Jianning opened it and found that the silk cloth was three feet long and one foot wide.

It was covered with fingerprints left by people biting their fingers, and you could even smell the blood.

He slammed the imperial desk heavily, startling Princess Pingyang.

She stopped talking. Her status was there, so nothing would happen to her and her son would be able to survive!

As for the revenge of having her life cut off, she would take revenge in private!

"Be bold!"

Mu Qingyan also presented the evidence she had found.

Princess Pingyang and her son regarded human life as worthless. They not only bullied men and women, but also occupied the land of common people, beat people to death, and colluded with the former prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and protected each other among the officials.
