Chapter 164 Persuading Emperor Changlong to Execute Song Siyao

Emperor Changlong clearly did not believe what Grand Tutor Su said.

Grand Tutor Su said confidently, “Your Majesty, Princess Ning’an has a cousin named Song Yu’er. She used to live under the same roof as the Marquis of Zhenbei’s family, so she knows a lot of things that outsiders don’t. She knows that the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife sent their daughter to the Guo family. Your Majesty, Song Yu’er is outside the palace, and she can testify to this.”

"Announce!" Emperor Changlong said.

outside the palace.

Song Yu'er stood at the palace gate, feeling both apprehensive and extremely excited.

Today she finally has a chance to bring down Song Siyao.

As she eagerly awaited her arrival, the palace eunuchs finally came out to call her.

She arrived at the court, so nervous that her fingertips dug into her flesh.

"Your subject, Song Yu'er, greets Your Majesty." Song Yu'er knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Song Yu'er, tell the Emperor, how did you know that the Marquis of Zhenbei and his wife sent their daughter to the Guo family?" Grand Tutor Su asked Song Yu'er.

Song Yu'er had already prepared her explanation: "Your Majesty, this happened a long time ago. When I was a child, I went to play in the Marquis's wife's room. I hid and that's how I overheard their conversation."

Emperor Changlong's face darkened upon hearing this. "Lies!"

“Your Majesty, everything I have said is true. Please judge for yourself.” Song Yu’er said calmly.

She had been preparing for this day for a long time.

She was willing to risk her own life if she could just kill Song Siyao.

Emperor Changlong's face darkened. "You mean you hid in their house without their knowledge, is that right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Song Yu'er replied calmly.

"Were there any other people in the house at the time?" Emperor Changlong asked coldly.

"No," Song Yu'er replied.

Emperor Changlong slammed his hand on the imperial table and rebuked, "Since they don't know you exist, and there are only the two of them in the room, they certainly wouldn't lie to each other. This contradicts your claim that they entrusted their daughter to Guo San's family as a lie."

Song Yu'er bit her lip, her gaze darting away.

She didn't know how to refute Emperor Changlong's questions.

She couldn't help but look up at Su Taifu.

Grand Tutor Su's face turned cold. "Song, think carefully about what the Emperor said and what really happened!"

Upon hearing this reminder, Song Yu'er's eyes darted around, and she quickly realized what was going on. She replied loudly, "Your Majesty, I remember now. They were saying other things at the time. I heard them discussing that this was just a pretext, and that they hadn't actually sent their daughter away to be fostered."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Changlong roared in fury. "Song, I know you and Princess Ning'an are at odds, but you are sisters after all. Princess Ning'an is currently on the front lines protecting the country, and you are kicking her while she's down. You are utterly despicable!"

"Your Majesty, I did not..."

Emperor Changlong interrupted Song Yu'er, "Guards, throw this wicked woman into the imperial prison. Princess Ning'an will personally interrogate her after she returns to the capital!"

"Your Majesty, no! I'm innocent! I'm innocent..."

Ignoring Song Yu'er's screams, the guards forcibly dragged her away.

Emperor Changlong then looked at Guo San and said, "Guo San, your one-sided account is not credible and is suspected of slandering the princess. Until Princess Ning'an returns to the capital, you will stay in jail and a decision will be made after she returns."

"Your Majesty, this humble subject..."

"Take him away!" Emperor Changlong interrupted Guo San, his face full of impatience.

"Your Majesty, they are witnesses, and they are the identity of Princess Ning'an..."

Before Grand Tutor Su could finish speaking, Emperor Changlong stood up, turned around and left.

Wang Fu hurriedly shouted, "Dismiss the court!"

Grand Tutor Su gazed at Emperor Changlong's retreating figure; he had not given up.

When the other court officials saw that Emperor Changlong had left, they immediately surrounded Grand Tutor Su and asked him questions one after another.

"Grand Tutor, is Princess Ning'an truly the youngest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

"If that's the case, then the Marquis of Zhenbei truly has a worthy successor."

"But there is a problem. If Princess Ning'an is really Song Siyan, then her act of disguising herself as a man to join the army is tantamount to deceiving the emperor. The crime of deceiving the emperor is no small matter and is punishable by death."

"Grand Tutor, are you sure?"

……

Hearing these people's questions, Grand Tutor Su added fuel to the fire.

He asked the crowd, "Gentlemen, when we were studying the classics, what did they teach us to do most as a subject?"

Someone answered, "It's loyalty; loyalty to the emperor is the most important thing."

Grand Tutor Su said, "Ability is secondary. What use is the second position if you can't even reach the first one?"

After he finished speaking, he followed Emperor Changlong, determined to persuade him to order Song Siyao's execution.
