As long as Yan Yuan was okay, even if she had to spend her entire life in prison here, she would be willing to endure it.
"Of course it's true. The person who passed on the message today came to the Prince Lu's Mansion and told Yan Jue the news. Presumably, by this time, the Emperor and the others would already know about it."
"Great."
The worry that had been weighing on her heart for the past two months had finally turned into tears, flowing out from her eyes.
For the entire Easternum, it was naturally a good thing for Yan Yuan to return to the capital alive. However, for people like the people of the Grand Preceptor Pang who wished for nothing more than to kill Liu Ruo Qing immediately, they started to feel troubled.
When the King Jing returned to the capital, not to mention them, even the emperor would find it extremely difficult to deal with Liu Ruo Qing.
Based on the unreasonable love King Jing had for Liu Ruo Qing, let alone the fact that she was just involved in a conspiracy, even if she was the one who rebelled, the King Jing could still help her.
The news of Yan Yuan returning to the capital spread throughout the imperial court early in the morning.
Grand Preceptor Pang walked out of the palace with a bad complexion. Just as he got on the palanquin, he heard Censor Meng call out to him, "Grand Preceptor Pang, please wait."
Grand Preceptor Pang turned his head and saw that Censor Meng was jogging towards him.
"Grand Preceptor, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to punish Liu Ruo Qing this time, if the King Jing comes back …"
Grand Preceptor Pang's expression was also not good, his gaze turned towards the direction of the palace gate as he thought, "Prime Minister Wang has repeatedly spoken up for Crown Princess Jing, if it wasn't for the emperor's intentions, why would that old man be so enthusiastic? "It seems that the Emperor has made up his mind to protect that woman."
Censor Meng frowned. After thinking for a while, he said, "But Liu Ruo Qing had some sort of relationship with the traitors, so how could the Emperor and the King Jing protect him?"
"Therefore, we have to join hands with the officials and force the Emperor to punish Liu Ruo Qing. Right now, the Qing Liu who isn't in the center of the court will first stand up to punish Liu Ruo Qing, which will be of great help to us."
"But if the Emperor insists on protecting the Crown Princess Jing, what should we do? Could it be that we really have to force them to commit suicide? "
The light in the Grand Preceptor Pang's eyes flickered slightly. After that, he snorted and said, "We don't need to do this, there will naturally be someone who will think of a way to force the Emperor to punish Liu Ruo Qing."
Censor Meng's eyes lit up. "You have a plan, Grand Preceptor?"
Seeing that the Grand Preceptor Pang gave a meaningful smile, he said: "The only one who wants to cause discord between the King Jing and the Emperor is not only the People from the Divine Artefact Hall."
Censor Meng wanted to ask another question, but was interrupted by the Grand Preceptor Pang, "Alright, let's wait for King Jing to come back and see what happens."
With that, he got into his palanquin and left under the confused gaze of the censor.
When Grand Preceptor Pang returned to his residence, he heard that his own daughter had been beaten black and blue by Liu Ruo Qing in the marble temple Prison, and even had her wrist twisted off by Liu Tian Xin.
"You've gone too far!"
"Master, you must uphold justice for Qiu Er. Those two relied on the support of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince and wanted to take Qiu Er's life. My poor Qiu Er …"
Madam Pang thought of her pitiful daughter, whose face was now covered with blood, and the miserable sight of her wrist being broken. She couldn't help but to cover her face and cry bitterly.
On the morning of the second day, Grand Preceptor Pang spanked both Liu Ruo Qing and Liu Tian Xin at the same time, "Please help my daughter, your majesty."
Grand Preceptor Pang knelt in front of Kaiser and kowtowed to him.
A cold snort came out of the Prime Minister's mouth, "Grand Preceptor Pang has been busy with national affairs lately, do you have anything to do with me?"
Wang Shi, this old fool!
Grand Preceptor Pang who was lying on the ground cursed in his heart. This old thing had been opposing him all day, trying to curry favor with him and King Lu. Was he planning to continue raising his position to become rich?
At this time, he had already forgotten that Wang Shi was currently the head of the inner palace officials, and also the current uncle of the nation.
He covered his face and looked at Wang Shi, snorting coldly: "The Prime Minister does not have a daughter, and does not understand how much I feel after seeing my daughter suffer."
Wang Shi's pupils contracted, he really wanted to laugh twice.
As his biological father, he, Grand Preceptor Pang, was clear about what kind of trash Pang Yue Qiu was.
Would the Crown Princess Jing and Princess Tian Xin hit her for no reason?
In his opinion, Pang Yue Qiu must be the one looking for a beating.
Yan Yuan frowned, he was growing impatient. Recently, he had been getting more and more dissatisfied with Grand Preceptor Pang, and the older he was, the more he could find trouble with his.
"Isn't the Crown Princess Jing locked up in the prison of the marble temple? Could it be that she escaped and went out to beat up Miss Pang? "
Grand Preceptor Pang choked a bit at Kaiser's words, "This … My daughter, Xin, got to know the Crown Princess Jing and especially went to see her. "
"Pfft."
An inappropriate laughter sounded in the great hall, causing Grand Preceptor Pang's expression to suddenly change.
The laughter came from Yan Jue, who was in the other team leader position. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were so cold that it made people tremble.
"Why doesn't this duke know that Miss Pang and Ninth Sister-in-law have any sort of friendship? Could it be that Miss Pang still remembers the grace of having a meal here? "
Yan Jue specifically emphasized the words "the grace of eating a meal", causing Grand Preceptor Pang's expression to become ashen to the extreme.
Almost everyone in Jindu knew that the had fed the Grand Preceptor the Thousand Gold Cow's feces. Now that Yan Jue had mentioned it without restraint, some people in the hall couldn't help but want to laugh.
Some of the ministers were so stifled that their faces turned red, but none of them dared to laugh. Even their bodies began to tremble.
Not to mention the officials who had always been at odds with the Grand Preceptor Pang, even the officials who had always been on the same side as the Grand Preceptor Pang felt that it was too ridiculous to come up with such an excuse.
"Eighth Prince, my daughter's hand was twisted off by Princess Tian Xin, why would you humiliate her like that?"
Grand Preceptor Pang did not bring up Liu Tian Xin, so it was fine. Now that he mentioned it, the undetectable smile on Yan Jue's face, completely turned cold.
"What did Pang Yue Qiu say, what did he do, do he need this king to point it out in front of the emperor? Princess Tian Xin is my future wife, and yet Pang Yue Qiu dared to bully her, does he think that I am dead? "
His face turned cold, he walked up to Grand Preceptor Pang and grabbed him by his shirt. Grand Preceptor Pang was a scholar to begin with, but in his fury, Yan Jue had already picked him up like a little chick.
Until now, other than the great general Zheng Qing Feng, who beat him up, this was the second time Yan Jue had dared to make a move in front of the Grand Preceptor Pang in the great hall.
