In the face of rumors, everyone in the Jingan Marquis Mansion remained silent and refused to respond.

However, the rumors were rampant, and the emperor was furious when he saw the so-called irrefutable evidence. The prince defended the Marquis of Jing'an in front of the emperor, but was scolded by the emperor.

King Yu took the opportunity to make a speech, hoping to find out the truth of the matter. If it is true, such a treasonous and unethical act must be severely punished. If it is false, the Jing'an Hou Mansion must be cleared.

The prince was secretly resentful. Everyone was dead, so how could he still prove it? How to check? I was extremely anxious.

The emperor deeply believed that, after all, Marquis Jing'an was an important minister of the imperial court and had made countless contributions, so he could not be wronged. However, if it were true, the impact would be too bad. Therefore, after the morning court that day, he summoned Marquis Jing'an to the imperial study room and prepared to personally Ask.

Xia Zhuofeng was waiting for this opportunity and asked Chunli to wait at Zichen Palace while Chunyu arranged the things that needed to be arranged.

In the royal study room, Prince Yuwang and several censors from the censorship station were all there.

The emperor glared at Xia Zhuofeng gloomily and said slowly: "Master Shen, tell the Marquis about the situation you found."

Mr. Shen is the censor of Yushitai. These days, all the ministers of Yushitai are like chicken blood. They are working overtime and collecting evidence everywhere. They think they have ironclad evidence and are confident that they will look good to Marquis Jing'an.

"I obey the order." Mr. Shen bowed his hands in a salute, his eyes filled with hatred and hatred were like two sharp knives shot at the peaceful Marquis Jing'an.

Xia Zhuofeng took out his ears, straightened his back and listened attentively.

Master Shen began to spit and enumerate the crimes committed by the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, his words were sharp and his momentum was like a rainbow.

"Master Hou, the evidence is solid, what else can you say?" Lord Shen asked bitterly.

Xia Zhuofeng cleared his throat, bowed his hands to the emperor, and said slowly: "The trivial matters in my family have polluted the holy hearing, and I am scared."

The opponents present were all secretly happy when they heard this, and thought to themselves: It's okay if you don't admit this! In the face of powerful facts, all sophistry is weak and useless.

The emperor was about to get angry when Xia Zhuofeng said sadly: "I don't want to respond to such nonsense, but the adults at Yushitai have failed to do their best and it is not easy to collect so many so-called evidences. The veteran has to give them an explanation."

"Yes, Quanzi fell in love with a girl. He originally wanted to make her his aunt, but the lady didn't like the girl. Moreover, it was the time when the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she let the girl out of the house. Who knew that Quanzi really liked her? I couldn't bear to leave, so I secretly placed people outside and occasionally went to take a look. Later, I let the eldest daughter-in-law know. The eldest daughter-in-law was indeed very angry and went to the outer house to seek confirmation. This is understandable. Even if a fight breaks out, it will be very serious. Normal." Xia Zhuofeng said calmly.

"Mr. Shen, don't you have several concubines in your home? I heard that there are always quarrels at home. Last year, you fell in love with the girl from Zuihonglou again. Your wife almost destroyed Zuihonglou. Because of this, Is it something? Am I remembering it correctly? "

Master Shen was suddenly exposed, and his old face turned red.

"And Mr. Wei, your son is seventeen years old. I heard that he is a frequent visitor to Wangxian Tower. He often fights with others out of jealousy, right?"

"Master Gao, I also heard that you fell in love with the maid in your eldest son's house and wanted to take her as your concubine. Your eldest son ran away from home and hasn't returned yet, right?"

Xia Zhuofeng looked at them one by one and exposed them one by one.

The adults all had red faces and twitching mouth corners, but they were unable to argue.

The emperor's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water, and he looked at the three censors with disdain. Do you yourself behave in an upright manner, and how dare you speak nonsense and criticize others? Too thick-skinned.

The prince held back his laughter, the Marquis knew so much.

King Yu was upset in his heart. Before a group of useless trash could knock anyone down, he himself made a fool of himself first.

Xia Zhuofeng chuckled: "You sirs are both virtuous and virtuous. Compared with you, my dog ​​is so pure. After so many years, I have only fallen in love with a girl in my house. I will go back and criticize you carefully." He, let him study hard like you adults, why don't other people's three wives and four concubines make such a big fuss, but he just fell in love with a girl and still made trouble in front of the Holy One."

Master Shen was not a light-hearted person either, and immediately retorted: "Master Hou, please don't evade the important and take the easy. What we are talking about now is that Master Ling is making a fuss about taking a concubine during the national mourning period. The child is the best evidence."

The emperor turned his attention to Xia Zhuofeng again.

Xia Zhuofeng said: "Are you making a fuss about taking a concubine? My lords, you can't take medicine randomly, and you can't talk nonsense. When did Quanzi say that he wanted to take a concubine? Although Quanzi is useless, he still knows the basic etiquette, even if he borrows it No matter how brave he is, he wouldn't dare to make a fuss about taking a concubine during the national mourning period. Is he full to hold on, or does he think his life is too long? If it were you, would you do it?"

"But this is a fact." Master Gao said confidently.

"Facts? The facts are just a few nonsense words from the so-called witnesses you randomly found?" Xia Zhuofeng's tone suddenly became cold.

He bowed his hand to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, since this is what I have said, I really need to be serious about it. The evidence given by the Yushitai is ridiculous and not credible."

Prince Yu said slowly: "The Marquis said that the evidence from Yushitai was ridiculous and untrustworthy. Does the Marquis have any evidence to prove it?"

"That's right, our Yushitai always talks about evidence when doing things. Those witnesses are all neighbors. All the confessions were witnessed and heard with their own eyes. They have no grievances against your Jing'an Marquis Mansion. How can they still be unjust? You?" Master Wei asked.

"The Marquis said that the evidence from Yushitai was not credible, so the Marquis came up with evidence!" Master Gao agreed.

Xia Zhuofeng sneered: "Of course there is evidence. Quanzi is outside now, so why not let him explain the matter clearly on his own."

King Yu sneered in his heart, Cuiyan people are no longer here, can you still explain this clearly?

Xia Chunli was called in.

Xia Chunli rarely had the opportunity to see the emperor. He had never had such a close and special interview before, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Such nervousness may be seen as a sign of guilty conscience in the eyes of others.

"Gui Zi, why don't you kneel down and explain the matter yourself." Xia Zhuofeng growled. In front of the emperor, he did not dare to use his lion's roar skill.

Xia Chunli's legs softened and he said tremblingly: "Go back, go back to the emperor, I... I am guilty."

The emperor said impatiently: "What crime are you guilty of?"

The emperor looked down upon the eldest son of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion in every way, and acted submissively, unlike Chun Yu and Chun Feng, who were upright and aboveboard.

Xia Chunli hesitated and said: "My crime is that I let the emperor worry about my personal affairs. I am very scared."

"I really like the maid Cuiyan. I wanted to wait for my wife Qiao to give birth before finding a way to bring her in, but Qiao got the news from somewhere. Seeing how sad and angry she was, I felt regretful. , felt that he should not, Cuiyan was instigated by others to come to the door, which made Chen feel that Cuiyan was an ignorant woman, so he gave her a resettlement fee and let her leave. At that time, Cuiyan said that she had already She was pregnant, but I thought it was a ploy on her part, so I didn't take it to heart. Later I found out that she was really pregnant. Now I'm very confused. I don't want such a woman. To marry a virtuous wife, I have to marry a concubine. Likewise, you can’t just take any woman to your family, but since she has my own flesh and blood in her belly, I’m in a very difficult position... Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The emperor sounded upset and was about to take a sip of tea to relieve his worries. Unexpectedly, Xia Chunli asked such a question, causing him to almost spit out the tea.

Damn it, what should I do if you ask me about such a stupid thing? I have so many things to do every day, why should I care about such a stupid thing like yours? But then I thought about it, why did I confront him in such a big way, wasn't I just messing around?

The emperor was quite depressed.

The prince asked: "Chunli, do you mean that Cuiyan was pregnant when she came to make trouble?"

Chunli nodded sadly: "Now it's more than four months, almost five months."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking.

As long as Cuiyan is not pregnant during the national mourning period, this matter is a family matter that breaks the sky. Which minister or prince's son does not have three wives and four concubines? What's the big deal? Is it still worth going to the Holy Land?

"You are talking nonsense. A doctor has proven that Cuiyan is only about three months pregnant. The diagnosis is here and you cannot deny it." Lord Shen threatened.

Xia Chunli looked at Lord Shen blankly: "Master Shen, when did Cuiyan become pregnant, do you or I know better?"

Uh... Master Shen was choked and said angrily: "Can the doctor's diagnosis be wrong?"

"That's not necessarily the case. There are so many bad doctors. Which doctor is so bad? He can't even diagnose a few months of pregnancy. The Medical Office should deprive him of his medical qualifications to avoid harming others." Chun Li said angrily.

The prince glanced at Prince Yu who had a determined look on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart. I'm afraid, Prince Yu, you may have shot yourself in the foot this time.

Which lamp in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion is fuel-efficient? How could we not be prepared?

"Then ask the doctor from the Royal Hospital to diagnose Cuiyan? Otherwise, no one can tell clearly." Gao Daren said.

Xia Zhuofeng pretended to be surprised: "Eh? Didn't you just say that our Jing'an Houfu has killed people and silenced them? We have killed everyone, how can we diagnose them?"

"If you weren't guilty, could you kill someone and silence them? Aren't you just trying to prevent the truth from being verified in person?" Master Shen said righteously, finally hitting their weak point. Now it's up to you what to do.

King Yu's eyelids jumped, and his intuition told him that things were going to be bad this time.

Xia Chunli retorted: "Who told you that Cuiyan was killed and silenced by us? She was pregnant with my flesh and blood in her belly. A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds. I am not like you, who will do anything for my own interests."

"Oh, I see, it was Liuli who said it, right? She hid Cuiyan for a time and asked Cuiyan to do what she wanted. Fortunately, Cuiyan was not hopelessly stupid and knew that Liuli had bad intentions. , and escaped." Xia Chunli looked at the adults with disdain.

At this time, everyone was dumbfounded. Several adults looked at King Yu in unison and complained in their hearts, King Yu, King Yu, is your news accurate? This time you will be killed.
