The more he thought about it, the more unwilling Liu Cheng He became.
Yan Heng sent the letter to Zhang Mo's home. He said that Yan Yuan had already known that Liu Ruo Qing was pretending to be Liu Tian Xin, and the only thing they could do was to blame all of their sins on Liu Ruo Qing and say that she had killed Princess Tian Xin on their way to marriage and replaced her.
Liu Ruo Qing had no basis for her empty words, so naturally, she had no way of clearing the charge for herself.
However, he never expected that Yan Yuan would unconditionally stand on Liu Ruo Qing's side and lie to Easternum. What was even more unexpected was that the unfilial daughter Liu Tian Xin had gone to Easternum's palace to testify against him.
Her appearance naturally broke their own lies.
Right now, it was fine if Yan Yuan did not pursue the matter, but if he continued to pursue the matter in the future, it would probably not be so easy for the xieqing to fight against the Easternum.
"Where's Liu Tian Xin?"
"The princess was ordered by the Easternum to be imprisoned for half a month. Half a month later, she returned with this humble subject, but this humble subject was in a hurry to report the situation to the emperor, so he suggested to return first."
"Humph!"
Liu Cheng He coldly snorted, and smashed her fist on her own table, "We truly have raised such a heartless and good daughter!"
Zhang Mo stood at the side and did not reply. As an official, he did not have the qualifications to scold his daughter together with the Kaiser.
"Immediately go back to the Easternum and bring her back after she is finished with his confinement. See how we will take care of her!"
Liu Cheng He was so angry that her teeth almost shattered, all of his plans had been ruined by that unloyal and unfilial woman.
An almost imperceptible cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
With Yan Yuan intervening, Pang Yue Qiu and Meng Pei Pei were sent to Jing Zhao Yin's prison by a bailiff that very day. When Grand Preceptor Pang and Censor Meng found out about it, it was already that night.
Jing Zhao Yin's door was almost crushed by the Pang and Meng Family's servants, but Jing Zhao Yin did not plan to let them go.
In the Jindu, Pang Yue Qiu relied on the fact that her father was the Grand Preceptor Pang and she often bullied and oppressed commoners on the streets and no one dared to do anything to her. Now that she had fallen into the hands of the King Jing and was still let go of her easily, how could it be so easy?
"My lord said that this was an order personally made by the Prince Jing, and even my lord does not dare to let him go. If the Grand Preceptor Pang wants someone from Imperial Censor Meng, go find him."
No matter how the servants of the Pang Meng and Meng Families pleaded their case, they all received the same answer. There was no helping it, the servants could only go back home and report it to their masters.
The next day.
Liu Ruo Qing woke up early, and just as she was about to get off the bed, she was fished out from behind by Yan Yuan.
"Stop messing around, I have to go out and sweep the street."
"Sleep with me for a while longer. When the court arrives, I'll get the emperor to give you a change of punishment."
Yan Yuan's hoarse voice, which carried the sexiness of someone who had just woken up, came from beside Liu Ruo Qing's ear. The warm aura caused Liu Ruo Qing's entire body to go numb, and she fell into Yan Yuan's embrace.
"There's no need to trouble the emperor. He already has a headache."
She waved Yan Yuan's presumptuous fingers, wanting to get off the bed once more.
These few days, the life of the Emperor was most likely not going to be easy. The ministers in the court, no matter what their motive was, would not let the Kaiser let her go easily.
If Kaiser was determined to stand by her side, he would definitely be pestered to death by the ministers. She did not want Yan Yuan to anger Kaiser for her again, in order to prevent him from getting angry.
It was just sweeping the streets, so she wouldn't be unable to bear with it.
Moreover, after what happened yesterday, how would Pang Yue Qiu and Meng Pei Pei dare to find trouble with her? Half a month had passed, and nothing had happened?
Seeing that Yan Yuan was still not letting go, Liu Ruo Qing turned and stared at him angrily, "Yan Yuan, if you still don't let go, from today on, you can go to sleep in the study room."
"Qing Er..."
Yan Yuan's slightly bitter voice came from behind him.
Liu Ruo Qing didn't plan to care about him, and escaped from his embrace with her palm spread wide open. Just as she was about to put on her clothes, she heard butler Uncle Xu's cautious voice coming from outside, "My prince, Grand Preceptor Pang is here, he said he wants to see you."
Grand Preceptor Pang?
Liu Ruo Qing paused for a while before turning to look at Yan Yuan. Seeing that she had also woken up, the lazy look on his face had disappeared and was replaced with an ice-cold expression that could not be denied.
"Nope."
The two simple words came from Yan Yuan's mouth, cold to the point of not feeling anything at all.
"Yes."
The steward didn't ask any further and simply went down. He had always known that the person who bullied the prince couldn't tolerate it. The prince couldn't tolerate the person who bullied the wangfei. There was no room for negotiation.
Therefore, those two misses should just obediently stay in Jing Zhao Yin's prison for half a month. The Duke didn't do anything else, it was already giving the Grand Preceptor Pang face.
After the butler left, Liu Ruo Qing walked to Yan Yuan worriedly and asked: "Are you really ignoring Grand Preceptor Pang?"
"Ignore what that old thing is doing. This King didn't fix him because of his age. It's best if he doesn't force This King to give up even the virtue of respecting the elderly and cherishing the young."
Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young …
The corner of Liu Ruo Qing's mouth twitched. To think that someone with a heart of darkness would think that he had such qualities.
Yan Yuan had already put on his clothes and walked over to her. Seeing that her waist seal was not yet fastened, he reached out and took the waist seal from her hands, helping her to tie it up gently.
After tying it, he straightened his body and looked at her. He placed both of his hands on her shoulders and solemnly said, "With This King here, you don't have to be patient with anyone. You directly greet them if you find them unpleasant.
This sentence came from Yan Yuan's mouth. It was as if even if she killed someone, he would still help her bury her corpse.
Seeing his determined look, Liu Ruo Qing's heart softened. Then, she smiled gratefully at him, "Un, I know, I won't be polite."
Although she said that, she was determined not to cause trouble for Yan Yuan.
When the Grand Preceptor Pang found out that he had personally gone to the King Jing Palace to plead with Yan Yuan, he didn't even want to see him, much less see him.
Although he was a prince and was an imperial uncle with great authority, he was still a first rank official among the three officials. He had experienced two dynasties of life and Yue Qiu was his youngest daughter, yet the King Jing didn't even give him this much face.
"Since Your Highness does not wish to see it, then this humble subject will take my leave!"
With that, Grand Preceptor Pang swung his sleeves and left in anger.
Since King Jing was unwilling to let his daughter go, then he might as well not let that imposter go either.
When Liu Ruo Qing was sweeping her eyes out of the door, she saw that Yan Yuan had also followed him out, so she stopped and said, "It's time to go to the imperial court, why aren't you going?"
Seeing that he wasn't wearing a court uniform, he couldn't be too lazy to even go up.
