Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

When the emperor got angry, everyone was terrified.

Minister Pei quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. It concerns the lives of the people of Sheng Dynasty. I believe that there is no smoke without fire. If nothing happens at the palace, everyone will be happy. However, if there is indeed an epidemic of smallpox, we must take precautions and deal with it in advance to avoid the loss of lives!"

Emperor Sheng An narrowed his eyes and said, "You make it sound so easy. If I wrongly accuse Prince Li of his own mansion and cause Prince Li to become angry, are you willing to take the blame?"

Everyone's expressions immediately turned ugly and complicated. They didn't dare to take responsibility. King Li was the most ruthless. Who would be willing to make an enemy with him?

Emperor Sheng An swept his sharp gaze over them one by one. He sneered, "Look at you, a bunch of cowards. You dared to come to me with rumors and accuse Prince Li of wrongdoing, but now you dare not take responsibility. Do you want me to be the bad guy?"

Censor Liu spoke anxiously, "Your Majesty, please prioritize the lives of the people. I believe Prince Li will not harbor any resentment towards you because of this. After all, if his son is truly ill, he must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise, it will lead to the destruction of the city!"

Everyone immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Emperor Sheng An looked down at the crowd and said, "Alright, I will immediately order Prince Li to bring his son to the Imperial Physician for verification. If this is proven to be a fabrication, then all of you present will receive fifty military blows and be demoted three ranks!"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. They had to admit that the punishment was too severe.

Censor Liu subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, if what we say is true, how will you deal with Prince Li's mansion?"

Emperor Sheng An replied calmly, "Send Prince Li's family to Mount Li and let them fend for themselves!"

Everyone knew that Wangli Mountain was Lao Mountain.

You can only go up but not down!

Anyone sent here will surely die within a month.

In this case, everyone has nothing more to say.

Emperor Sheng'an ordered Li Delu to make sure Prince Li and his family entered the palace immediately without any mistakes.

When Li Delu arrived at the gate of Prince Li's mansion, he shouted loudly: "The emperor has ordered Prince Li to bring his family to the palace to meet him!"

The shrill voice reached the mansion, and soon someone opened the door.

Prince Li, with a solemn expression, strode out with his family. His calm demeanor caused the people to wonder whether his son was infected or not. How could he dare to come out?

Lin Su held the tightly wrapped Xiaobao in her arms, her beautiful eyes firm and peaceful.

She and Lin Yiwan got on a carriage and headed straight to the palace.

At this time, everyone was on high alert, and when the Wang family appeared, they subconsciously retreated far away.

Emperor Sheng An didn't care at all. He was the first to stand up and greet him: "Uncle, you are here?"

Prince Li nodded and said with a distant expression, "I heard that someone said my son has contracted smallpox and is begging the Emperor to deal with our Prince Li's Mansion."

Emperor Sheng An turned to look at Censor Liu and the others: "They heard the rumors and came to me to ask for an explanation. I feel that this matter must be resolved for them, otherwise, I will not be able to appease the people!"

Prince Li said, "Okay, then please ask the emperor to ask the imperial physician to come and verify it!"

Soon, several young imperial doctors hurried over.

When the veil on Xiaobao's face was removed, they were immediately frightened and turned pale.

Especially those court officials who were brave enough to run forward to watch the excitement were so frightened that their faces turned pale and ugly.

Oh my God, is there really a smallpox epidemic?

How could Prince Li still hold him in his arms and appear before the public? Wasn't this a clear attempt to harm someone?

Despite meeting everyone's dissatisfied looks, King Li didn't care at all.

Censor Liu couldn't help it any longer. He said angrily, "Prince Li, you, you are going too far. You actually brought a child infected with the plague to the emperor. What are your intentions?"

Prince Li raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Prince Liu, who told you that my little treasure was infected with the plague?"

Censor Liu gritted his teeth and asked, "If it wasn't an epidemic, why would there be rumors out there?"

Prince Li laughed: "Misunderstanding, this is not an epidemic, it's just common rubella, caused by the cold!"

He paused and then spoke again: "If you don't believe me, ask Madam Hou. She is an expert doctor and will definitely be able to answer your questions!"

Lin Yiwan nodded heavily. "My brother has rubella. I absolutely wouldn't dare to joke with the lives of the people of this dynasty!"

After the words were spoken, everyone's expressions became complicated and ugly.

Emperor Sheng An looked at the imperial doctors who were taking his pulse and asked, "How is it? What's the illness?"

One of them was the first to answer: "The symptoms are indeed similar to rubella. The young master's pulse is stable, so it is definitely not an epidemic!"

Lin Yiwan glanced at everyone and said, "Are you all relieved now? The rumors out there are not to be believed. My brother is fine!"

Emperor Sheng An also spoke immediately: "Come here, drag all these court officials out, give each of them fifty military sticks, and demote them three ranks!"

Just as everyone was wailing and crying out for justice, a wet nurse who had been standing next to Lin Su quickly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has something to say!"

Lin Su looked at her nervously: "Madame Ping, what do you mean? What do you want to say to the emperor? What kind of occasion is this? Is it your turn to interrupt?"

Matron Ping kowtowed heavily and said, "Princess, I don't want to deceive the Emperor. The young master has clearly contracted a severe form of smallpox. The Marquis's wife said so herself, and she even gave us all special medicine to prevent an attack. Why are you still hiding this?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was shocked.

Censor Liu, in particular, asked with a look of panic on his face, "Prince Li, now that it's confirmed that your son has contracted the disease, what else do you have to say?"

Prince Li ignored him and instead cast a sharp gaze on Nanny Ping.

He asked in a deep voice, "Madam Ping, the Prince Li's Mansion has treated you well, why do you say such things?"

Nanny Ping was already trembling, but she forced herself to speak, "I dare not conceal this from His Majesty and the other court officials. This concerns the lives of all the people of Sheng Dynasty. How can I help to cover it up?"

Censor Liu was already kneeling on the ground, shouting, "Your Majesty, I beg you to severely punish Prince Li's family. They deliberately deceived Your Majesty and put you and the people of the court in danger. They deserve to die!"

All the court officials followed suit: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the people!"

Emperor Sheng An stared at everyone with a stern gaze: "I want to ask you, what should I do?"

Censor Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Li is so careless about human life. His family must be burned in flames to appease the people's resentment!"

Prince Li laughed suddenly. "What a raging fire! I never expected that Censor Liu hated me so much."

Censor Liu argued, "I don't hate the prince. I just think Prince Li has evil intentions. You actually brought your son, who was infected with the plague, into the palace to meet the emperor. You are trying to overthrow the emperor's rule!"
