Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 47 Prove your innocence
Everyone outside the venue was confused as to what was going on, but the venue was already in chaos.

Chu Yanrong frowned because of the noise: "Go and see what happened."

The guards immediately left the tent.

……

Emperor Fengyang was sipping tea and watching the Horse Race when he suddenly saw a fight between two people.

His face darkened and he ordered Eunuch Su beside him to find out the news.

As a result, the teenagers who were fighting together couldn't tell friend from foe, and when they saw someone approaching, they would grab him and beat him up.

Eunuch Su had two front teeth knocked out, and he crawled back to Emperor Fengyang: "Your Majesty, this is terrible! Master Chu Xiaoquan from Prince Duan's family has been beaten to death!"

He spoke incoherently, and tears, saliva and blood flowed all over the floor.

Emperor Fengyang stood up immediately and asked: "Who was beaten to death?"

Eunuch Su wiped his face and said, "Prince Duan's illegitimate eldest son... Chu Xiaoquan..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Fengyang was furious: "Send the guards over, pull everyone away, and call the imperial physician!"

the other side.

The guard sent by Chu Yanrong came back with a swollen face and said calmly: "Reporting to the Princess, Prince Duan's bastard Chu Xiaoquan was beaten up by a group of people."

Chu Yanrong took a sip of tea and asked, "Is he still alive?"

The guard said, "I felt his pulse and he's fine. He's just been drained of alcohol and sex and can't take a beating."

Chu Yanrong waved.

The guard bowed and saluted, then quietly left.

Ye Wanqing looked at Chu Yanrong who was calm and composed: "Mother, is it you?"

"Hush..." Chu Yanrong turned to the horse farm: "Look."

Hundreds of guards rushed into the horse farm, pulled apart the young men who were fighting, and carried Chu Xiaoquan and two other unconscious young men towards Emperor Fengyang.

Soon, the personal eunuch of Emperor Fengyang came to announce: "Princess, Princess, the Emperor invites you."

Emperor Fengyang drank a sip of tea before looking at Ye Wanqing: "Before Chu Xiaoquan fainted, he said that yesterday, you and Dingyuan Marquis's son Lu Jilian had a secret meeting at Qingsong Mountain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Anlan said angrily: "Your Majesty, she didn't!"

Emperor Fengyang looked over coldly.

The corner of Chu Anlan's lip was broken and bleeding, and the corner of his eye was scratched red. Perhaps it was because his face was too good-looking, and although he looked angry, he seemed a little aggrieved.

Ye Wanqing clenched her fingers and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Reporting to the emperor, Qing'er doesn't know what the secret meeting is. Yesterday, Qing'er did go to Qingsong Mountain to pick up pine cone shells, and did meet Master Lu in the mountain by chance.

However, Qing'er picked up the pine nut shells and went back down the mountain to make incense. When Qing'er came down from Qingsong Mountain and returned to Tingxue Pavilion with the pine nut shells, she met many women and officials who were taking a walk on the road. When she went to Cangqian Palace to deliver incense, many people saw her. "

At this time, Lu Jilian knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The princess and I are innocent. The heaven and earth can bear witness to this, and the sun and the moon can testify to this."

Chu Yanrong glanced coldly at the people kneeling on the ground and stood up: "Your Majesty, I was told before that Qing'er went up the mountain to look for spices, and Prince Dun's wife also knew about it. But I don't know what the intentions of those who spread rumors and slandered Qing'er's reputation are.
Qing'er is a princess with three thousand fiefs. To slander her is to slap the royal family in the face. Your Majesty, please severely punish the rumor maker and the rumor spreader."

Chu Anlan said angrily: "Your Majesty, let me investigate this matter! I want to see who is behind this and wants to ruin my marriage with Qing'er!"

He looked really angry.

The wound on his right hand began to bleed again.

Ye Wanqing looked at the white cloth that was half soaked with blood, feeling a slight pain in her heart, and couldn't help but clench her hands.

Her every move was watched silently by Lu Jilian.

Lu Jilian said at this time: "Prince Dun, I suggest that this matter should be handed over to the Minister of Justice to investigate. The Minister of Justice is upright and honest, and he will definitely be able to handle this matter."

Chu Anlan turned his head away, too lazy to talk to Lu Jilian.

At this moment, Chu Xiaoquan on the wooden couch suddenly coughed up blood.

"Quan'er..." Prince Duan cried out in a tearful voice and hurried over to take a look.

After Chu Xiaoquan spat out two mouthfuls of black blood, his complexion finally improved a lot: "Father...Father..."

"Pah!" Prince Duan slapped him and said, "You useless thing, why don't you just die?"

Chu Xiaoquan spat out another mouthful of blood. The imperial physician was terrified when he saw this: "Prince Duan, you can't hit anyone! I managed to save him with great difficulty, stop now!"

Emperor Fengyang waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch immediately stepped forward and pulled Prince Duan away.

However, Prince Duan refused to leave and insisted on taking out the elixir he had made and feeding it to the half-dead Chu Xiaoquan.

Emperor Fengyang's face turned cold: "Prince Duan."

At this time, Chu Xiaoyan got up from the ground, limped forward, reached out to pull Prince Duan, and said as he pulled: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, my father drank medicinal wine."

"Yeah." Emperor Fengyang responded indifferently.

After Prince Duan was dragged away, Chu Xiaoquan was helped to sit up.

Emperor Fengyang's eyes were cold and he said, "Chu Xiaoquan, did you tell me about the secret meeting between the princess and Prince Lu?"

Chu Xiaoquan had just managed to save half of his life, but when he saw Emperor Fengyang, he was stunned.

Seeing this, the eunuch pinched his throat and said in a shrill voice: "Master Quan, the emperor is asking you a question, why don't you tell the truth?"

Ye Wanqing looked at Chu Xiaoquan.

Coincidentally, Chu Xiaoquan also looked over here: "That's right... I personally encountered it, and saw it with my own eyes, the princess and Lu Jilian had a secret meeting in the mountains..."

Chu Anlan immediately stood up, furious: "Chu Xiaoquan, if you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you!"

Chu Xiaoquan covered his chest and laughed: "Haha... come and kill me."

Chu Anlan flexed his wrist: "Do you really think I don't dare?!"

"Prince." Lu Jilian stopped the man.

Chu Yanrong gently scolded: "An Lan, don't be reckless!"

Chu Anlan's eyes turned red with anger.

Lu Jilian bowed to Emperor Fengyang and said, "Your Majesty, Master Quan may not have sobered up from his hangover yet, that's why he said that. From this point of view, the innocence of me and the princess can only be proven by ourselves. I am a man, so I will do the proof myself."

"How do you want to prove yourself?" Emperor Fengyang asked with a sullen face.

Lu Jilian drew a dagger from his waist.

The eunuch immediately stood in front of Emperor Fengyang and shouted sharply, "Prince Lu, what are you going to do?"

Lu Jilian knelt on his knees, raised his hand, and the sharp blade cut the palm of his left hand.

The gushing blood gushed out and flowed all over the ground.

There were cries of surprise from the crowd.

Ye Wanqing was also stunned.

Lu Jilian raised his bleeding hand, his lips pale: "God, I and the princess are innocent and frank, heaven and earth can bear witness. If I tell even a single lie, I will be punished by heaven, struck by lightning, and will not have a good end..."

The shocking blood gushed out like water.

The hem and sleeves of Lu Jilian's silver-white robe were stained with patches of bright red, like a camellia in full bloom.

Chu Anlan was closest to him and was the first to pull him: "Are you crazy?"

Lu Jilian's face was a little pale due to blood loss, and his eyes were cold as he swept across the frightened crowd in the distance.

No one dared to look him in the eye.

Emperor Fengyang summoned the imperial physician in a deep voice.

The imperial physician hurried forward and said, "Master Lu, I will apply medicine and bandage you."

"Thank you." Lu Jilian extended his hand.

The imperial physician knelt on one knee, bent down to take out medicine and tools from the medicine box, and lowered his head to treat Lu Jilian's wound.

Lu Jilian's eyes always had a gentle look.
