He leaned over and gently kissed the corner of the woman's lips, then gently got down from the bed.

He put on his undershirt and went outside. Feeling the scorching sun, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He seemed to have slept...

Forgot to attend the morning court!!!

At this moment, a servant came hurriedly, his face full of anxiety: "Your Highness, someone from the palace has come and said... that the Imperial Censor has impeached you, and His Majesty has summoned you to the palace immediately!"

……

Xie Tingyu hurriedly rode to the palace, and when he finally arrived at the court wiping the sweat off his face, the civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time.

The emperor's face was extremely ugly. When he saw him enter the hall, he immediately roared: "Kneel down!"

Xie Tingyu trembled and knelt down.

Immediately afterwards, before he could even look up, a folded book flew towards him from the front, and a corner of it hit him right on the forehead.

He already had an injury on his forehead, and now the memorial hit him again. Xie Tingyu's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground. His head hit again, and he woke up in pain...

He finally raised his head, only to see a big bump on his forehead with blood oozing out, looking extremely miserable.

Some court officials couldn't help laughing out loud, but quickly covered their mouths to hold it back.

No matter how miserable Prince Jing is, he is still a prince, the son of His Majesty, and they cannot laugh at him at will.

The emperor couldn't bear to watch his foolish son and said angrily, "Look at what you have done!"

Xie Tingyu thought to himself that something was wrong. He held his breath and reached out to pick up the memorial on the ground. He opened it and read just two lines when his face turned pale.

Shi Lei was so heartless that he joined forces with the censor to impeach him for such a trivial matter?

He opened his mouth to defend himself, but heard his father pointing at him and scolding:

"I think you've grown too powerful. You're breaking the law knowing it, and you still dare not attend the morning court!"

Xie Tingyu hurriedly raised his head and explained, "Father, I was delayed by something important. I definitely didn't miss the morning court on purpose. Please understand!"

But he himself did not see that as he raised his head, the red marks on his neck were exposed without any concealment.

I saw red marks all over, almost covering the entire neck...

Just by looking at the red mark, one can imagine what he had done before and how intense it was.

The court officials began to buzz and talk, whispering to each other, looking at him with clear amusement in their eyes.

The emperor at the top was so angry that he was fuming. He pointed at him, gasping for breath, and opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Censor Liu walked out with his head held high, his eyes shining, his tablet in hand and a stern face.

"Your Majesty, I wish to make another report to Prince Jing. Prince Jing's indulgence in women and his neglect of morning court attendance are truly a disgrace to the royal family. He should be severely punished as a warning to others."

The emperor's expression was extremely grim. He looked at Xie Tingyu sullenly, "What on earth is going on?"

Xie Tingyu was a little confused for a moment.

Even if I was a little late, how did Censor Liu know that I was late because of that reason?

Is it a guess?

After pondering for a moment without any clue, he decisively and loudly defended himself: "Father, last night, I was busy dealing with urgent official business and really stayed up late, so..."

"What nonsense! What official business do you have to attend to? How come I don't know?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor.

The Emperor of Beiyue could not imagine that his son had any other official duties to attend to besides the flood in Liang Province...

Moreover, the flood in Liangzhou has been handed over to the Ninth Prince, and he will set off for Liangzhou today.

"Father, it's true! Last night..."

"Give him a bronze mirror!"

The emperor's face turned pale and he turned his head away, not bothering to look at him. For the first time, he regretted why he had given birth to such a stupid thing.

a shame!

The little eunuch took the order and left.

Xie Tingyu was at a loss. A bronze mirror? What was the point of giving him a bronze mirror?

At this time, the Ninth Thousand Year Old, who had not spoken in the court for a long time, took a step to the left and stood up.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jing has indeed been busy with urgent official business recently. I can testify to this."
