Thinking of the drastic measures taken by His Majesty when he first ascended the throne, the older court officials began to feel cramps in their calves.

However, a few younger imperial censors came forward and said that the matter was of great importance. After all, it involved a prince and a great minister, and it was a crime of treason. They could not easily convict Wei Yong based on what he said alone.

Seeing that someone came forward, including the Deqing clan and the third prince's relatives, although he knew in his heart that this matter was most likely true, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation, as there might be some misunderstanding here.

At the same time, he was already thinking about how to cut off relations with the Third Prince and Deqing Queen.

If you can rescue your daughter, do it. If you can't, you can only blame your daughter for her bad luck.

You can't sacrifice your entire family's lives for your daughter, right?

The people in the court were in a state of unrest, and everyone had their own plans.

The six ministers and several old officials all looked at each other with concern, not saying a word.

The emperor sat upright at the top, observing the expressions of the officials below.

After letting them clamor for half a day, he finally spoke: "Order the three courts to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Third Prince and the Deqing general colluding with the water bandits and secretly mining the mines."

The Minister of Punishment, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Supervisory Office stepped forward to receive the order.

After this incident, no one was in the mood to report anymore.

The emperor then immediately announced the adjournment of court.

As soon as the emperor left, the three chiefs looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

This is a hot potato. If you handle it well, others will die.

If you don't do it well, you will die.

It was the Minister of Justice who got into work mode first. Since Wei Yong was the one who was investigating the Third Prince and Grand Duke Deqing, he should be the first one to be contacted.

If you dare to accuse the prince and the empress, you must have evidence in your hands.

You take it first!

Wei Yong did not hesitate and was even impatient to hand over all the witnesses and evidence.

After handing it over, he patted his butt and ran away with a relieved look.

Looking at this mountain of physical evidence, there are also hundreds or thousands of witnesses.

The Minister of Justice felt dizzy. He thought that the Ministry of Justice’s prison might not be able to hold so many people.

There are still so many physical evidences and so many people in the Ministry of Justice. Even if they work overtime, it is not known when they can sort out all the physical evidences.

He acted decisively and arrested the Grand Court Minister and the Left Censor-in-Chief, and dragged them to the Ministry of Justice.

Then he started to act like a rogue and detained the two men in the Ministry of Justice. If you want to leave, you can send half of your staff from the Dali Temple and the Censorate to help organize the physical evidence and take the confessions.

Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving the Ministry of Justice.

The three divisions were so busy that they had no time to rest. Everyone had dark eyes and walked lightly.

The whole capital city calmed down, even the playboys became obedient and dared not go out to drink and have fun anymore.

Although the people in the capital did not know what was happening, the people living under the emperor's feet had their own ways of survival.

Seeing that the playboys no longer went out, there were fewer hooligans on the streets, and more soldiers and horses were patrolling, they immediately shrank their necks, stayed at home and lived their lives, refusing to go out easily.

Even at this time, the Sixth Prince's marriage was still carried out in an orderly manner.

After all, this is the last good day of the year. If we delay any further, it will be next year.

The Sixth Prince's marriage was full of twists and turns. It was supposed to take place in the first half of the year, but because the future Sixth Prince's wife broke her arm while trying to save her younger sister, the wedding had to be postponed to the second half of the year.

The director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was so busy choosing an auspicious date for the Sixth Prince's marriage that his fingers were numb from pinching them.

He had secretly sworn in his heart that even if knives rained down from the sky, he would say that it was a good omen and make sure that the Sixth Prince got married this year.

Therefore, on this day, the capital city was unusually lively.

The Sixth Prince’s Mansion was decorated in red and green, and was filled with joy.

According to the rules, the prince can either welcome the princess in person, or he can ask officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of the Imperial Household to lead people to welcome the princess into the prince's residence and then perform the wedding ceremony.

However, when the second and third princes got married, they asked the Minister of the Imperial Household Department to marry them on their behalf.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince followed the lead of the previous princes.

However, the day before the Sixth Prince's wedding, he thought of the obvious changes in Fu Zhiyi after his marriage, and when he talked about the tenderness in the eyes of the Le'an County Lady, he didn't know why he felt envious.

In fact, he also wanted his wife to be loving and harmonious with each other. Not to be like Fu Zhiyi and his wife, but at least not to be so harmonious in appearance but spiritually estranged.

After hesitating for half the night, he decided to personally welcome the Sixth Prince's wife.

The Sixth Prince's wife is the eldest daughter of Su Zhang, Marquis Guoyi.

When the Sixth Prince and his men arrived at the gate of Marquis Guoyi's mansion, Marquis Guoyi was stunned. He really didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would come to greet him in person.

Suddenly the smile on his face became more genuine.

While he politely invited the person in, he also ordered someone to go to the backyard to inform them.

Although the Sixth Prince actually felt a little regretful on the way, when he saw the smile of Marquis Guo Yi and the softened expressions of his brothers-in-law behind Marquis Guo Yi, he began to be very glad for his decision.

When the people in the courtyard behind the Marquis' Mansion heard the news that the Sixth Prince was going to marry the Sixth Prince's wife in person, they were all beaming with joy. They all felt that the Sixth Prince had taken a fancy to their daughter, and that they would enjoy a happy life after she married him.

Only the wife of Marquis Guo Yi, with red eyes, did not forget to instruct her daughter: "The Sixth Prince has done us a great honor, and it is for you. After you marry him, you must serve the Sixth Prince well, be filial to the Imperial Concubine, and be friendly to the Fourth Princess—"

The Sixth Prince's wife replied calmly, looked at the time, covered herself with the veil, and reminded the wife of Marquis Guo Yi: "The time is coming——"

The wife of Marquis Guoyi and several other female relatives beside her immediately burst into tears, feeling extremely reluctant to let him go.

It was the Marquis Guoyi's son who came in and personally carried the Sixth Prince's wife on his back. As they walked towards the outer courtyard, he said, "Brother, the Sixth Prince seems to be a thoughtful person for coming here in person today. He doesn't look like someone who favors his concubine over his wife. We will feel relieved if you marry him—"

The Sixth Prince's wife twitched the corners of her lips, which were covered by the veil, but said nothing.

After arriving at the front hall, she bid farewell to her parents and was then carried on the bridal sedan chair by the son of Marquis Guoyi.

He only had time to say one sentence: "Be good, if you are wronged, come back and tell me, I will support you even if it costs me my life——"

The official from the Ministry of Rites has already agreed: "Move the sedan chair——"

The Sixth Prince mounted his horse, bowed and said goodbye to Marquis Guoyi, and rode his horse to guard the sedan chair on both sides.

Following behind was the Sixth Prince's wife's dowry, with music and dance all the way.

Some people would occasionally throw candies, snacks, and wedding money to the people watching on the roadside, so that everyone could share in the joy.

They returned to the prince's palace in a lively atmosphere.

She got off the bridal sedan chair and walked towards the lobby holding the red silk.

His Majesty did not leave the palace today, and even Concubine Xiao was not allowed to leave the palace to receive gifts because she was not fully recovered.

However, the Fourth Princess was concerned and asked Concubine Xiao to come out and watch the ceremony.

However, His Majesty still cares about his sixth son.

Before the wedding ceremony, a eunuch from the palace came with an imperial edict and announced in public that the Sixth Prince was to be given the title of Prince of Jin and his wife was to be given the title of Princess of Jin.
