The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much

Chu Ci sat down on the chair and looked at Prince Rui jokingly, "Your Highness, this hobby is really unique. I just wonder if you've ever been beaten."

Looking at the Buddhist beads in Prince Rui's hand, Chu Ci suddenly laughed, "If the Buddha knew that you like to pass by girls' boudoirs with the Buddhist beads, he would definitely be furious."

Prince Rui glanced at the Buddhist beads in his hand with an indifferent look on his face.

He walked over to Chu Ci and sat down. Looking at her hands, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Such a strange feeling suddenly appeared, but King Rui simply ignored it. He didn't understand it, so he didn't think too much about it.

"Congratulations on achieving your wish!"

Chu Ci shook his head and took a sip of the teacup on the table. "Not yet. I'm just staying in the Chu family now. What I want is a marriage exchange. I have nothing to do with Rong Ziyu at all. I want to completely lock Chu Xiao and Rong Ziyu together."

"Then I will leave first!" Seeing the hatred in Chu Ci's eyes, King Rui twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand twice, then stood up and left.

Chu Ci watched King Rui slip away, speechless. Was he really just passing by?

The next day, in the court, all officials stood upright, and the emperor sat on the dragon throne wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

"If you have something to report, please stand up. If not, please dismiss the court!" Eunuch Zhao beside the emperor stood up and shouted to all the officials.

Everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke.

Suddenly, one of the officials stood up and said, "Your humble servant has a memorial to report."

After saying this, he raised the memorial in his hand above his head and said, "Your Majesty, there was a great celebration at the Duke's Mansion yesterday, and we all went to attend the Duke's son's wedding. However, during the wedding, the Duke's son actually drugged the bride in the bridal chamber."

"And with the bride's sister in the bridal chamber—this is simply immoral and against public morals. Your Majesty, please make your decision."

This gentleman had a look of disdain on his face. Thinking of the scene he saw at that time, his face flushed, "Your Majesty, it is really unbearable to watch."

After this lord finished speaking, several others stood up and said, "I was there too. The scene is truly indescribable. Those two, ugh!" At this point, several others covered their eyes and said, "I am ashamed to speak of it. It is simply immoral. Please punish me severely, Your Majesty."

Several adults knelt down, and the remaining adults knelt down one after another. "Your humble servant will review the matter."

Duke Rong and Marquis Chu stood upright alone, looking at the person kneeling on the ground. They looked at each other and were dumbfounded.

Is this a big deal? There's no need to bring this up in the Imperial Palace among the noble families, right?

Both of them were very curious and felt that something was wrong.

They exchanged a glance, and Duke Rong knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, we haven't yet fully investigated what happened yesterday. We've only discovered that the drug injected into the eldest daughter of the Marquisate, the bride, was administered by the second daughter of the Marquisate. Her name seems to be something like Chu Xiao."

"The second daughter of the Marquis's family even prepared her own wedding dress of her own size. Later, Yu'er went to the bridal chamber for some unknown reason, and then the two of them were drugged and got together."

When Marquis Pingyang heard Duke Rong speaking well of his son and blaming everything on his daughter, he realized something was wrong.

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, that's not the case. We were in the Duke's Mansion, and Xiao'er was drugged. That's why what happened next happened with the Duke's son."

Duke Rong was unwilling to do so. He looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the case. There are many ministers present. Your Majesty can ask them. It is obvious that the youngest daughter of the Chu family has bad intentions. Seeing that her sister is getting married well, she wants to steal the bride."

Pingyang Hou was furious. This concerned his reputation as Pingyang Hou. This kind of thing could never be blamed on his Chu family. "Your Majesty, that's not the case. My Xiao'er has been well-educated and well-mannered since she was a child. How could she do such a thing?"

"Not to mention that my two daughters are from the same mother and love each other dearly. No matter what they do, they always give in to each other and never get angry. Isn't Duke Rong destroying their reputation by saying this?"

The two of them talked back and forth, their voices getting louder and louder, until they finally started arguing.

"Shut up, everyone." The emperor looked at Prince Rui, who was still standing aside, and asked, "Prince Rui, I remember you were also at the scene yesterday. Please stand up and tell me what happened yesterday."

Prince Rui stood in the middle, his lips curled up slightly. "Father, what happened yesterday was very simple. For now, it seems that the Second Miss of the Chu family and the Prince of Rongguo were having an affair without a matchmaker. The Second Miss Chu kept calling him Brother Yu, and it seemed like they had known each other for a long time."

"As for Miss Chu, she was in a much worse situation. Someone drugged her, and she saw her fiancé and sister lying in bed. She stood by and cried silently, and no one comforted her."

After Prince Rui finished speaking, he was about to return to his seat when he suddenly remembered something and stood up again. "By the way, Father, I heard this morning that Miss Chu went home alone and went to Huichuntang Clinic right after leaving the Duke's Mansion. Her hands were scalded red and swollen by the hot water. It seems she got burned while serving tea."

Pingyang Hou looked at the emperor and burst into tears, "Your Majesty, that is my legitimate daughter. The Duke and the Crown Prince ruined my two legitimate daughters by themselves. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision."

Duke Rong looked at the Emperor, kneeling straight, his rage rising to the sky. "Your Majesty, it's clearly the Marquis of Pingyang's daughter who used despicable means to get ahead of him. I, Yu'er, simply fell for their scheme. We refuse to acknowledge it."

The two were arguing fiercely when Prince Rui intervened again, "Father, what Marquis Pingyang said just now was wrong. This Rongguogong's son only raped the second daughter of the Marquisate. As for the eldest daughter, she has already returned to the Marquisate. Not only has the wedding not been completed, but even the bridal chamber has not been moved."

Having said this, Prince Rui stepped back and glanced at a censor kneeling beside him.

The censor nodded and said, "Your Majesty, according to the laws of our dynasty, if a marriage is halfway through and the ceremonies are not completed, the marriage can be annulled."

Duke Rong and Marquis Pingyang were completely bewildered. Weren't they discussing Chu Xiao and Rong Ziyu's affairs? How did they end up discussing Chu Ci?

They kowtowed repeatedly to the emperor and said in unison, "Your Majesty, this marriage cannot be annulled. We are all willing to acknowledge it."

The emperor looked at the two men. Although his expression was not good, it was not a court matter, and he could not solve it in the court.

He gave them a cold look and said, "The two of you follow me to the imperial study. The rest of you can go to court."
