A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chu Junheng never gave up speaking for Yi Duoer. At this time, An Tingfeng was secretly worried that if she was executed by the emperor, his envelope would be difficult to find.

So he quickly stepped out, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I think this Princess Ye may have truly lost her mind. Your Majesty, please forgive her! After all, she is also the Third Prince's princess."

An Zhengzhong hadn't expected An Tingfeng to actually go and plead for Yi Duo'er. He tried to stop him, but it was too late. He could only sigh inwardly, fearing that the emperor would implicate him.

So he risked his old face and stood up to beg for mercy.

Seeing so many people speaking for her, Yi Duoer felt a mixture of emotions, especially bitter! She then began to wonder if she had been too impulsive.

But at this moment, anyone's plea is useless.

Every word Yi Duo'er said challenged the imperial authority, so how could he tolerate this? "Take Yi Duo'er out and give her fifty lashes, throw her in jail, and execute her in three days! Yi Yuanxiao, I've already shown mercy by not implicating your Yi Mansion."

"Your Majesty..." Yi Yuanxiao's eyes were also red with tears at this moment. He wanted to say something, but the emperor raised his hand to interrupt him.

At this moment, two stones flew from the side and hit the two guards fiercely. The stones seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force.

Instantly, the two guards were flung away. Before anyone could react, Chu Jingchen's voice rang out.

"It seems that you all have too much free time, gathering together to bully a little girl!" His tone was unusually cold and chilling.

When Chu Jingchen came over, he was wearing a light black brocade robe, with a trace of vicissitudes on his handsome face and a few beards on his face.

As if he hadn't rested for days, his deep eyes revealed a dangerous aura. His unique kingly aura frightened everyone so much that they dared not utter a single sound.

When he walked to the banquet table in the imperial garden, he saw Yi Duoer kneeling on the ground. She was thin and frail, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

His heart felt like it was cut by a knife. It hurt for a moment and he felt extremely uncomfortable!

It was his fault for coming back late and causing her so much injustice. Although he had quelled the civil unrest, there were still some details to investigate and he could not return to Beijing until three days later.

If Han Bai hadn't sent an urgent letter ten miles away to inform him of Duo'er's situation, he wouldn't have known that his Duo'er was being bullied by so many people.

He ignored the emperor's words and walked quickly to Yi Duo'er's side, carefully helping her up. He said in a very soft voice, "Duo'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for coming back late."

Zhu Qingxue's cheeks were slightly swollen, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and her hair was a mess. She was being supported by someone.

Yi Duoer still thought she was dreaming at this moment. She opened her eyes wide and looked carefully at the person in front of her. When she came to her senses, she realized that she was not dreaming. He was back.

"You're back?" Yi Duoer's tone was mixed with grievance. She raised her hand and touched his weathered face, feeling distressed and aggrieved.

Everyone saw this scene, and they simply couldn't bear to watch it. The emperor looked at the two of them with a dark face, and her identity was still the Princess of Night. He felt extremely depressed.

"Yes, Duo'er, don't feel wronged. I'm back." Chu Jingchen's tone was extremely gentle. If no one was around, he really wanted to hold her in his arms, but he restrained himself. The two of them understood each other tacitly.

"Seventeen, I'm useless. I failed to protect my workers."

Chu Jingchen turned his head and scanned the crowd with sharp eyes. When he heard that Duo'er was in trouble, he put down what he was doing and rushed back to the capital. He shortened the seven-day journey by three days and tired out three horses during the journey!

The emperor did not expect that Chu Jingchen would come back early. Looking at his attitude, it was impossible to deal with Yi Duoer.

The gloom on his face had completely vanished, and the corners of his mouth curled upwards. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Chu Jingchen, offering a few words of concern. They discussed topics like whether the trip had gone smoothly and the current situation in Cangzhou.

He wanted to put what had just happened behind him and make a big deal out of a small matter.

Chu Jingchen did not intend to let go of the person who bullied Duo'er. Murderous intent appeared in his eyes and he said bluntly:

"On the way back, I heard that someone poisoned the largest workshop in the capital, killing many people. This workshop provides jobs for many people and will be of great help to the future trade of the Qi Dynasty. Brother, are you going to let it go?"

His words were as cold as ice, which made the emperor frown. He didn't expect that Yi Duoer's workshop had such capabilities.

But now that things have come to this, it's better for everyone to just let it go and reopen the workshop.

But these two living ancestors insisted on forcing him to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion? The Prime Minister had been in the court for many years and had a deep foundation. Now was not the time to be afraid of him.

The emperor didn't know what to say for a moment. Chu Jingchen turned his head and looked at the already embarrassed Zhu Qingxue, and said in a tone without any warmth:

"I heard that the evidence all points to the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Prime Minister, I wish you a good daughter! How dare you have the audacity to murder the people and bring injustice to Yi Duo'er! Do you admit your guilt?"

Prime Minister Zhu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. Although he was the prime minister of a country, he was nothing compared to the bloodthirsty god of war.

He also holds a large army and has the final say in almost the entire world. At this moment, he is also very scared.

Zhu Qingxue sniffed and stared at Yi Duoer with a look of dissatisfaction. Why did she deserve so much love from so many people? She was obviously not as good as herself, and her status was not as good as hers. Why?

She looked up at Yi Duo'er and said with contempt, "You want me to confess? Ha... Yi Duo'er, who the hell are you?"

Unexpectedly, just as Zhu Qingxue finished cursing, Chu Jingchen hit her with a palm wind. Zhu Qingxue immediately fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He didn't even use the first level of his power, fearing she would die in the northwest. How could he make her confess her crime and accept punishment?

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Usually they saw a gentle regent. Although it was rumored that he was murderous and cruel, they had never seen him angry.

No one dared to step forward and plead for Zhu Qingxue. Only Chu Junye stepped forward to stop him and said with a hint of anger: "Even if Xue'er was wrong, there is no need to be so cruel to her! You are really going too far."

Although Zhu Qingxue made him feel a little disappointed, she was the woman he had liked for many years after all, so he would not leave her alone.

When he came over, Chu Jingchen subconsciously stretched out his hand to protect Yi Duoer behind him, and said mercilessly:

"As a prince, you indulged others for personal reasons many times, which led to Zhu Qingxue's repeated attempts to murder Duo'er, and even implicated many innocent people. You are the one who has no right to speak. Get out of the way!"
