Pang Yue Qiu's cold voice sounded right after, causing her face to turn deathly white. This kind of crime, even the King Jing would dare to blame her, but she had no way to refute it. At that time, the matter of her scolding Liu Ruo Qing's family in the streets, that they were all lowly commoners, had been heard by many people.
"This King, in passing, would like to remind you that it is not only me and the eighth prince who were there that were present that day. There is also …" "Your majesty."
Pang Yue Qiu's legs went soft. If Meng Pei Pei was not standing by her side, she would have already collapsed on the ground.
Huang … Your Majesty …
The emperor was there as well?
But the Emperor never mentioned it.
She looked at Yan Yuan in shock and tried to find a trace of threatening expression in his eyes but she couldn't.
Could it be … The emperor was really here on that day?
Yan Yuan saw through the thought in the depths of Pang Yue Qiu's eyes and smiled, "The Emperor naturally doesn't remember the myriad of things that happen every day. However, this king has a lot of free time, other than accompanying my wangfei in bullying people, I also love to bear grudges. If I am unhappy, I might even go to the imperial study and tell the Emperor."
"…"
Can't you say it so bluntly?
Liu Ruo Qing stood at the side, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly. Seeing Pang Yue Qiu's frightened face, which could not be described with any other color, she sighed in her heart.
Actually, she didn't know if she had done the right thing in today's matter.
Yan Yuan did not seem to plan on letting Pang Meng and Yue Yang go. Seeing his cold gaze, he turned to the yamen runner and asked: "According to the Easternum Law, how should we deal with those who cause trouble?"
Seeing that Yan Yuan was talking to him, the constable was scared stiff. He stood up straight in front of Yan Yuan and said: "Go back …. To return to your highness, at least I will be imprisoned for half a month, and at most, I will be sent back to the 30th level. I will be imprisoned for another half a month. "
"Yes."
Yan Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping past the two before turning back to the constable and saying: "You decide."
After he finished speaking, he did not say anymore and only held Liu Ruo Qing's hand. He looked down at her and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and said: "Don't sweep for now, go and rest. I'll get someone to make you sour plum soup."
"Your Highness!"
Meng Pei Pei was not convinced, she immediately called out to Yan Yuan, but she did not know that his father was the censor, and Liu Ruo Qing's weakness just happened to fall into her father's hands, for today's matter, if Liu Ruo Qing did not give her a good explanation, she would definitely let his father bite Liu Ruo Qing to death in the hall!
"We are here to cause trouble, but not only did the Crown Princess Jing beat us up in the streets, she even used such a despicable method to humiliate us, shouldn't we be punished? What kind of commoners are there here? Does Your Highness want everyone to think that you're being unfair? Your Highness, you are too biased. "
Yan Yuan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Meng Pei Pei. Suddenly, he laughed softly, her originally handsome face was matched with a smile that could shake the world, it was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky. Everyone looked at him for half a second, even Meng Pei Pei was stunned, and almost forgot what she had just said.
"Liu Ruo Qing is this king's wife, so of course this king favors her. What kind of person are you?
"…"
Meng Pei Pei choked when she heard Yan Yuan's words. She did not expect that would directly admit her bias just now when she heard what she had said to provoke her. What else could she say?
She looked at the disgusted look in Yan Yuan's eyes dumbfoundedly. Her heart was stifled and she was unable to say anything for a long while.
"Censor Meng is doing quite a good job in the court today. This King has never seen Censor Meng act like this before. This King even admires him when he returns to deliver a message to me."
Yan Yuan spoke carelessly, but the warning in his unfathomable eyes made Meng Pei Pei shiver.
Others might not know, but she understood the warning tone in Yan Yuan's words.
If father still dared to bite onto Crown Princess Jing's words, King Jing would never let him off.
However, although the King Jing had overflowing authority in the imperial court, could he really cover the sky with one hand and not even care about the Emperor?
Even the Emperor had to follow the laws of the country, why was it that his King Jing was an exception?
Thinking like this, Meng Pei Pei became bolder and straightened her back.
However, what she did not know was that it was because Yan Yuan was not a Kaiser, he could do a lot of things as he pleased.
He had to take care of the officials and the people of the world.
An enlightened ruler was the most indecent and lonely person in the world.
Yan Yuan no longer bothered with Pang Meng and Pang Meng, and directly pulled Liu Ruo Qing along, walking towards a tea house by the side of the road where a passerby rested. Yan Yuan quickly poured a bowl of sour plum soup for Liu Ruo Qing, and the fierce expression on his face had long since changed into the soft expression of someone who could drown someone in drowning, and he said: "Hurry and drink it."
He looked at her sun-flushed cheeks, and his eyes were filled with pain.
He wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Why don't you listen to me? As long as you don't want to, no one will force you to come sweep the streets and see how tired you are."
Liu Ruo Qing shook her head, and finished the bowl of sour plum soup in one breath, and said: "I know, but I am willing to come to sweep the streets."
The most important thing was that she did not want him to make things difficult for her anymore, so after she taught Pang Yue Qiu and Yue Yang a lesson, although she felt happy in her heart, she had already regretted it to death.
What was even more regretful was that Yan Yuan actually protected him in front of everyone and did not hide anything when he spoke.
Thinking about it, she felt some regret and guilt. She reached out to hold Yan Yuan's hand, her face full of regret. "Did I give you trouble again?"
The tip of his nose was gently scratched by Yan Yuan's warm finger, and he said: "Don't let your imagination run wild!"
"But what I have done to Pang Yue Qiu and the rest, Grand Preceptor Pang and the rest will definitely not let you off easily."
A light chuckle came out of Yan Yuan's mouth. He reached out his hands and cupped Liu Ruo Qing's cheeks, as if he was playing with a toy. I am your husband. As your man, how can I be worthy of being your man if I am even bothered to support you! "
Liu Ruo Qing's eyebrows did not relax because of his words, instead, they tightened, "But, if this matter were to spread to the ears of the Minister and those few old-fashioned censors, what will you do? Could it be that those old bones were all torn apart? "
She joked, but her eyes were full of worry, not a smile.
Yan Yuan held her hand and gently brought it to his mouth. He gave his a gentle kiss as a consolation, saying, "Don't worry about me, leave this matter to the Emperor, one side is a minister, and the other one is a blood uncle. Let's see how he chooses then."
