Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 120 The Substitute Actress Counterattacks Bai Yueguang (25)
The Minister of Censorship seemed to be thinking about something. He knew that he couldn't make things difficult for Emperor Wenchang at this moment.
However, today's matter was also what Shi Qing asked for. He had promised Shi Qing that he would help her no matter what she asked for.
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. He always keeps his promises and is unwilling to go back on his word.
"Your Majesty, what the Second Prince said is very true. He just returned to the court, and this matter involves the Yun family. If a prince is appointed, I am afraid that no one in the court or the country will accept it."
Dou Yao also knelt down, looked at Emperor Wenchang's unfriendly expression, and said calmly.
"How about asking His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the Yun family case again? An investigation will reveal whether there was any injustice committed back then, and thus clear the Second Prince's name."
Emperor Wenchang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. This group of ministers was roasting him on the fire, but he had no way to deal with it.
Right Prime Minister Yun Zilong fell silent. He glanced at Prince Chen, and it was obvious that Prince Chen's expression was also very unhappy. He thought that he was targeting the position of the Eastern Palace, but it turned out to be a feint.
Shen Zhongli is now imprisoned because of the affairs of the head of the Wu family. Of course, King Chen knows the secret. If it is exposed, it will be disadvantageous to everyone.
"I ask Your Majesty to review what happened back then and set the record straight. If the Yun family colluded with others, I, your son, am also guilty. Minister Yun saved my life, and I will never forget it."
Emperor Wenchang slammed the table, his face extremely gloomy. He looked at everyone with a cold face and gritted his teeth.
"What happened back then has been thoroughly investigated. Are you trying to reopen the case and make a fool of me for the people?"
No one dared to speak, after all, that was not what they meant at all.
Jing Yunzhan bowed to Emperor Wenchang, and the Buddhist beads hidden in his hand were revealed.
"If Your Majesty does not wish, then so be it. I, your son, am willing to return to Buddhism and never concern myself with worldly affairs again. Amitabha."
Emperor Wenchang said nothing. Prince Chen had already been abandoned. He knew that his body could not support the country. If he let Jing Yunzhan return to Wanfo Temple at this moment, he was afraid that no one would be able to defend the country.
Prince Chen quickly stopped him, "Father, this matter has been over for ten years. Wouldn't it damage your reputation if you reopened the investigation?"
The Right Prime Minister also tried his best to stop this, "Your Majesty, this will shake the people's minds, it must not be allowed."
There were many different opinions at the banquet, and everyone had different thoughts, but they were generally divided into two parties.
Emperor Wenchang ignored all the voices. He closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke in a dull tone.
"Well, although the Yun family case was settled that year, I will thoroughly re-investigate the case of the deposed Crown Prince. This matter will be handled by the new Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, Lord Lin."
Lord Lin wiped the cold sweat from his face and said respectfully.
"Weak ministers will definitely live up to their orders!"
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they had not expected Emperor Wenchang to agree to this matter. However, at this time, no one wanted to offend anyone.
Emperor Wenchang looked displeased. He glanced at Concubine Xian and spoke gently.
"My beloved, I feel a little unwell. How about you accompany me back to the palace?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wenchang turned and left with a bad look on his face. The palace banquet ended just like that. The welcoming banquet was overshadowed by the returning Second Prince.
King Chen's face was gloomy. The cup beside him was broken by him, and he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
He turned away from the palace, and the right lieutenant hurriedly followed suit. The ministers looked at each other, seemingly puzzled.
"Qingqing, shall we go to the Shangshu Mansion today?"
Tears flashed in Jing Yunzhan's eyes as if he was forbearing. He never expressed his emotions, but this time he had to.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Shi Qing said goodbye to Dou Yao, stood up and left the palace with Yun Zhan. The carriage waited outside the palace for a long time. Jing Yunzhan lifted the curtain and helped Shi Qing get in.
The Yun Shangshu Mansion is located on the West Street of the capital, and it occupies a large area. Yun Shangshu and his wife are gentle in nature and always give porridge to the people of the capital, so they have a very good reputation.
Before returning to Beijing, Jing Yunzhan had ordered people to clean up everything in the mansion. Although the Shangshu Mansion was dilapidated, it could be restored to its former appearance if it was properly cleaned up.
In the Yun family's ancestral hall, tablets of all the Yun family members are placed on it. The place is very clean, and it is obvious that they have put a lot of care into it.
Jing Yunzhan lit the incense and handed three sticks to Shi Qing, and they both knelt down in front of the tablet.
Jing Yunzhan's gaze fell on Shi Qing's face and he said in a deep voice.
"Father, I've brought Qingqing home. May you and mother be safe and healthy in the afterlife. I will take good care of Qingqing."
As he spoke, he held Shi Qing's hand tightly, the sadness in his eyes unable to dissipate.
Shi Qing also kowtowed solemnly. Thinking of the original owner's experience, she sighed and secretly complained.
"I went home for her. May the two elders love each other in the next life and have a lovely child like the original owner."
Jing Yunzhan gave Shi Qing the key to the Yun family mansion, and he felt a little emotional.
"Qingqing, although you are a woman, you are extremely intelligent. As you said, everything is calculated. However, there is still the virtuous concubine in the harem. As long as the virtuous concubine and the right prime minister are not overthrown, the position of Prince Chen will be difficult to shake."
Jing Yunzhan was extremely attentive to the court's movements, but he did not interfere in the affairs of the harem.
"Then let them make a mistake, and a fatal one at that. Brother, I'm sure the virtuous concubine has already been questioned by now."
Jing Yunzhan was puzzled as to why Shi Qing was so predictable, until he learned from Shi Qing that he had already found evidence that Concubine Xian was plotting to harm the heir to the throne.
"Under the peach tree in the Xianfei Palace, there are hidden objects. She has a notebook where she records how to torture these heirs and how to rape them. Moreover, all the saffron in the palace is collected in the Xianfei Palace. Even if she doesn't want to acknowledge them, the Emperor will not be a pushover."
Emperor Wenchang is not stupid and knows how to check and balance the harem, but the situation where Concubine Xian is the only one in power in the harem has been going on for a long time and he must not allow it to continue.
