Chapter 240 The Emperor’s Disposition
"Your Majesty, the beautiful lady is outside the Xuanzheng Hall asking for an audience." Eunuch Dekang hurriedly entered the hall to report.
The emperor chuckled and said, "My Xuanzheng Hall is really lively today! Xuan!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I would like to send you my regards!" As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a delicate voice came from outside.
Jiang Ning only saw a rose-red figure passing her and walking up to the emperor.
"Why are you here, beauty? What's wrong?" The emperor looked at the jade beauty with a smile, obviously very satisfied with her.
The jade beauty glanced at Jiang Ning from the corner of her eye, and then moved closer to the emperor. "I have something to say to the emperor in private. Can the emperor stay with me for a while?"
The emperor heard the implication of the beautiful lady’s words. Naturally, he would not refuse the beauty’s invitation, so he looked at Jiang Ning and said, “Uncle Guang En, what did you just ask me to make the decision?”
Jiang Ning couldn't grasp the identity of this beautiful lady, let alone whether she was related to Duke An Guo. If this woman came for Duke An Guo's palace, with the emperor's love for her, it would be difficult to seek justice today.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's face darkened a little.
The jade beauty happened to meet Jiang Ning's eyes, her eyes faintly threatening.
Jiang Ning understood instantly and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, when I first arrived in the capital today, I was bullied. This person molested my eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, in public at Yongtai Restaurant. He also ordered the guards to beat the dog into serious injuries. Mrs. Liu protected her husband. He was so eager that he stabbed the man with a silver hairpin. Unexpectedly, after the man returned, he sent a group of boys into Guang Enbo's house and threatened to hand over the Liu family to their disposal. "
Yu Mei was very angry. She didn't expect that she had hinted so clearly. This woman actually dared to tell the truth!
The emperor's face darkened visibly, and he slapped the case angrily, "Who? Who dares to be so arrogant and domineering and contemptuous of the king's law under my nose?"
Yang Datou plucked up the courage and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Min told the other party the same thing at the time. As a result, the other party said that he was Wang Fa and was not afraid at all. Everyone in the Yongtai Restaurant heard this. Please take a closer look, Your Majesty."
The beauty’s complexion changed drastically.
Jiang Ning silently gave Yang Datou a thumbs up in his heart.
The emperor was furious after hearing this, and the beauty was so frightened that her legs weakened and she knelt down.
"Say! Who said it?" The emperor stared at Yang Datou.
Yang Datou said hurriedly: "He said his name is Xue Shao, and the name of the person who came to make trouble in our house is Xue He, and he said they are from the Duke Anguo's mansion."
The emperor suddenly turned around, his sharp eyes falling on the jade beauty's face.
The jade beauty turned pale with fright, "Your Majesty! There must be some misunderstanding here! As you know, my concubine's brother is an uneducated second generation ancestor who is careless and cynical. He said he went to drink wine and fight. I believe it, but he will never say such disrespectful words!
Your Majesty! Duke Anguo has been loyal to you for generations, and he is even more loyal to you. You know it clearly after so many years! "
"That's enough, Jade Beauty! I just want to know if Xue Shao really said that!" The emperor's majesty did not allow for provocation. He did not feel any soft-hearted because of Jade Beauty's jokes, and immediately shouted: "Dekang, Send someone to Yongtai Restaurant, I want to know the truth!"
Jade Beauty shivered subconsciously, her eyes moving wildly as she thought.
Jiang Ning just knelt down without being humble or arrogant.
It took more than a quarter of an hour for the emperor's anger to calm down. "Get up! Give me a seat!"
Immediately someone from the palace brought some chairs. After Jiang Ning and the others thanked them, they only dared to touch the chair with their buttocks and didn't dare to sit down at all. She secretly complained in her heart that it would be more comfortable to kneel down!
Just when she was imaginative, another person came outside the Xuanzheng Hall.
“Your Majesty, King Xiaoyao wants to see you.”
The emperor waved his hand, and the palace attendants immediately went out to pass the news.
A man with a golden crown and red robe came against the light, walked to a place three steps away from Jiang Ning, and bowed, "Brother Emperor!"
“Why are you here too?” The emperor was in a bad mood, but his attitude towards his beloved brother was still relatively gentle.
King Xiaoyao glanced at the embarrassed jade beauty who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes fell on Jiang Ning, with a little more curiosity in his eyes, "My brother heard that the emperor's imperial brother Guang Enbo entered the palace, so he came here specially to see him. He is indeed famous. Why don’t we meet, Guang Enbo is really different from the rumors!”
The emperor laughed angrily, "This is Uncle Guang En, not a woman you can make fun of casually! Be serious!"
“Oh!” Xiaoyao Wang nodded curtly and stood on the other side of the emperor.
Dekang was very fast, and he came back with the news not long after, "To report to the emperor, I personally went to Yongtai Restaurant to inquire. What Mr. Yang said is true, and there is no exaggeration in the slightest."
"Insolent!" The emperor slammed the table, "Come here! Arrest Xue Shao and wait for punishment! Anguo Gong has no way to teach his son, and uses his power to bully others. He has a fifty staff, a fine of one year, and a compensation of 10,000 taels to Guang En's house. Bai Yin, come to the door in person to apologize! The jade beauty has behaved badly and has been demoted to a talented person."
“Your Majesty, please calm down!” The beautiful woman, no, she should be the talented woman now, she cried so hard that it was so pathetic that the emperor was not moved at all.
Jiang Ning realized for the first time what it means to be the most ruthless imperial family. Fortunately, she had no intention of competing for wealth in the imperial city.
After Yucai was dragged away, Jiangning's family of three quickly knelt down to thank him.
The emperor rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "Go back and ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look. Gengyang, please send Guang Enbo's family back."
King Xiaoyao pointed at himself in surprise, but he obeyed obediently.
The four of them left the palace. Jiang Ning found that Xue He's group had disappeared, but her family's guards were all there. She didn't ask any questions in front of King Xiaoyao and walked forward calmly.
Yang Datou stared at King Xiaoyao for several times, with a bit of resentment in his eyes, "So you are King Xiaoyao! No wonder you are protecting Xue Shao!"
When Jiang Ning heard this, his impression of King Xiaoyao was extremely bad, and he walked much faster.
King Xiaoyao didn't take it seriously. She was only interested in Jiang Ning now. He immediately caught up with her and asked, "Aren't you going to take a carriage?"
“Don’t sit down.” Jiang Ning continued walking without squinting.
“Why?” King Xiaoyao followed.
Jiang Ning didn’t answer. She walked faster and faster, and she didn’t say anything. King Xiaoyao became more curious and kept chattering in her ear.
The group of people returned to Uncle Guang En's Mansion. Jiang Ning stopped at the gate, turned around slowly, and looked at King Xiaoyao critically, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for sending us a ride. It's freezing, so Your Majesty, you'd better go back earlier. I'm sorry. Send far.”
King Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment before reacting. He was all excited, "You, you, you, you just used me to build momentum, right? You really have eight hundred tricks! No wonder you can grow fragrant taro and white taro, and you are also praised by the emperor." value."
“Eight hundred tricks?” Isn’t this modern internet language? How could this person say such a thing? coincide? still.
Jiang Ning looked at him with a more searching look.
