Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

The old prime minister waved his hand, and the other party said from a distance, "Don't bother. I'm fine. General, would you be willing to chat with me?"

Fang Yao put his hands into his sleeves, raised his chin, and signaled Xiao Xizi to step back.

Shen Zhaojiang helped the old prime minister up, and seeing that both of them were staring at him, he quickly bowed and retreated far away.

The old prime minister then said to Fang Yao, "Just now, the Yao family went to look for my disappointing grandson, Shen Shaokun, saying that he stabbed Yao Xun last night. Logically, my daughter was in the Queen's bedroom last night, and she didn't know about Kun'er's injury. But she knew it, and she described the details exactly the same as what the Yao family said. This makes people have to consider whether what she said is the truth. For example, she said that it was the general's niece Shen Li who abducted her and Kun'er, and took them to strange places with strange medicines and all kinds of monsters. The monster theory is pure absurdity, and I don't believe it, but other things are hard to say. If Shen Li was a girl with great martial arts skills, those things would be easy to achieve. General, do you think I am right?"

Fang Yao folded his hands and sniffed, "I didn't expect the old prime minister to have such a big beard. He also has such a rich imagination."

As he spoke, two crows flew across the sky and croaked twice.

Fang Yao looked up, pulled his hand out of his sleeve, took a step forward and jumped into the air, reaching out to grab the crow in the air.

The crow was frightened and flapped its wings to fly upwards. Fang Yao didn't even knock down a feather from it.

"Look, my martial arts skills can't even catch up with birds. How can the old prime minister be so sure that Shen Li has the ability to hit both Yao Xun and the queen in the blink of an eye? She can't do that alone, let alone catch your daughter and grandson. Old prime minister, if you want to make up a story, let's make up a more reliable one. You are such a grown-up, you can't just talk nonsense."

The old Prime Minister choked and sat down on the steps, hammering his knees. He then spoke from a distance, "The General is absolutely right, but these strange things do exist. If all else fails, I will report this to the Emperor and have his people investigate to see what exactly happened. After all, the fact that my daughter and grandson, even though they were not together, could speak the same words and describe the same scenes and events at the same time is truly astonishing and worth investigating."

He continued talking, but Fang Yao didn't respond. He folded his hands again and walked to the old prime minister. He stared straight at Shen Zhaojiang and said with narrowed eyes, "I've been too busy recently. I haven't had time to beat him up."

The old prime minister was still immersed in what he had just said. He was stunned when he heard it and looked over.

Shen Zhaojiang was seen walking back and forth anxiously, clapping his hands from time to time, looking at a loss.

"Why did you hit him? He is your brother-in-law and Li'er's biological father."

"Bah," Fang Yao spat fiercely. "Last time the Queen detained Li'er, and Li'er was almost in trouble. After I rescued Li'er from the palace, I went to patrol the camp again. For all those days, I didn't hear him say a word to vent Li'er's anger or to comfort her. On the contrary, you saw it today. Because of that brat named Shen Shaokun and your black-hearted daughter, he was so anxious that he lost his temper in the palace. It shows that in his heart, who is family and who is an outsider is clear at a glance."

"In that case, I don't recognize him as my brother-in-law, and Li'er doesn't recognize him as her father. I beat him up because he's so hypocritical and pretentious. He clearly doesn't care about Li'er, so he might as well admit it openly and not pretend to be a kind father in front of others and put Li'er in an unkind and unfilial position. This is the kind of person I'm most impatient with. I don't even bother to talk to him. The only way to vent my anger is to beat him up."

"Old Prime Minister, he's your son-in-law, and it's your business if you feel bad for him. He's my enemy, and it's my business if I beat him up. We have different positions and we protect different people. It stands to reason that as long as we don't cross the line, we can all live in peace, how wonderful. But unfortunately, your daughter won't accept that. She doesn't want to live a peaceful life. She wants to make trouble. She went to the Queen and set a trap for Li'er, hoping to kill her..."

Fang Yao gritted his teeth, calmed his anger, and continued, "A vicious woman like this deserves death. I thought she had a close relationship with the Queen, but I didn't know it was just that. Your daughter has revealed that the Queen had killed Queen Chu. In my eyes, the two of them are just dog-eat-dog, and it's fine."

"As for who sent your daughter to the palace, and who took your grandson to hurt Yao Xun, I don't care about that. If you suspect that Li'er did it alone, you must have evidence, otherwise it would be a frame-up. Not only will I not allow it, the emperor will not allow it either."

"Perhaps the Emperor will think, as I do, that all this was a scheme orchestrated by you and the Yao family to exonerate the Empress and your daughter. Your daughter feigned madness, and you had your grandson cooperate with her in feigning madness to exonerate her from breaking into the palace at night. The Empress committed a capital crime, and you used Yao Xun's injuries to divert the Emperor's anger. Haha, don't bother, it's useless. You know how much the Emperor values ​​Empress Chu, so why waste your time on such useless tricks? Instead of engaging in these shady schemes, you would be better off honestly confessing your crimes to the Emperor, begging for his forgiveness, and finding a way to atone for your sins, instead of resorting to these charades."

The old prime minister tried to interrupt several times but failed. After Fang Yao finished speaking, he pointed at Fang Yao and said, "You...you..."

You talked for a long time but didn't say a word.

I wanted to call Fang Yao out and use Shen Li's secret to ask him to come up with a reasonable reason for Xiao Zhao to get rid of the crime, but I didn't expect that he would refute me as soon as I opened my mouth.

The old prime minister had experienced how difficult Fang Yao was more than once or twice, but today he was so anxious that he forgot about it for a moment.

The old prime minister's hand slowly dropped, and he also looked at Shen Zhaojiang, who was circling anxiously in the distance, and said, "In fact, you and I both know who is responsible for my daughter's scandal this time. I should have joined my daughter in opposing Shen Li, but I am not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. I would not bully a little girl when I know that my daughter is doing wrong. General Fang, you are still clear about my character. There is no such thing as a partnership with the Yao family. Please do not mention this in front of the emperor."

Fang Yao hummed in agreement.

He understood what the old prime minister meant. The old prime minister wanted him not to exaggerate or make up stories in front of the emperor.

no problem.

As long as they don't make random accusations against Li'er, he won't say what he just said.

The old prime minister continued, "I said I had no idea my daughter had done such a thing. I wonder if General Fang believes me?"

Fang Yao turned to look at him, staring for a long moment before slowly saying, "I'm half-believing, half-doubting."

The old prime minister said, "Actually, I also heard some rumors back then, but I thought it was inevitable for a second wife and didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until I saw Kun'er and Yao'er that I realized the rumors might be true. My daughter had been in contact with Shen Zhaojiang before she divorced him. This is a failure of my education."

"For the sake of our two children, and considering that Shen Zhaojiang's first wife had already gone to the manor, I chose to acquiesce. Alas, what a sin! Look how quickly feng shui can change. Before anyone even dies, the backlash comes. If I had taken your sister back when I learned the truth, how could things have turned out like this? It's too late to regret now."

An old and hoarse voice came into his ears, and Fang Yao's eyes looked into the distance.

There was no one in the distance, just like his mood, empty.

There is not so much knowledge in the world that can be known in advance. There are only sighs and lamentations, filled with endless regret and hatred.

"The old prime minister called me out. Is there anything else?" Fang Yao turned around and asked the old prime minister.

The old prime minister shook his head. "It's alright, go back and take good care of the emperor. The emperor's illness has alarmed many people, so you'll have to work hard these days. Stay in Zichen Palace and don't leave. Be especially careful of the princes and the queen's movements. Because of my daughter's matter, I can't be close to the emperor to serve him. I'll leave everything to General Fang, please!"

After saying that, he supported his knees and wanted to stand up to salute Fang Yao, but was stopped by Fang Yao.

"Old Prime Minister, please go back. The Emperor is always wise and will definitely not take his anger out on you because of your daughter's affairs. Go back without worry. In fact, right now, you should stay at the government office and calm down those people in the court. Protect the Emperor and hold the court accountable. What do you think?"

These words were like enlightenment to the old prime minister, and he immediately came to his senses.

Holding on to the side wall beside the stairs, he finally climbed up with great effort. The other party bowed and said, "Goodbye."

Turn around and leave.

Shen Zhaojiang didn't know what was going on. When he looked up, he found that the old prime minister was about to leave, so he hurriedly followed him.

Fang Yao stood there quietly, watching the father-in-law and son-in-law walk away, then turned around expressionlessly and returned to the bedroom.
