Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 116
The emperor lowered his head slightly, straightened his face and raised his head, his face changed.His sharp eyes swept towards Lord Qian and her who were kneeling on the ground, and asked in a calm voice.

"Is there such a thing?"

The majesty of the emperor exuded, and Qian Bishao bowed his head as soon as his body trembled as he knelt in the hall.In fact, he also knew that he was the one who was going to do it first, but she hid him.If the emperor really investigates it, if he finds out, he will really become a crime of bullying the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you can't listen to her nonsense. If it was my son who beat her, why did my son get hurt like this, but she has nothing to do with it? Your Majesty, you can't just listen to her one-sided words."

Master Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, saw that the emperor was so obviously partial to Shen Wanyu, so he immediately started crying again.Hearing his annoying crying, Shen Wanyu frowned slightly showing a displeasure.

"The Golden Luan Hall is also the place where you cry. As a minister of the imperial court, how decent is your appearance at this time." Shen Wanyu raised her head abruptly, scolded loudly, and rubbed her forehead lightly with her hands, her face turned pale.Seeing Shen Wanyu's actions, the emperor's face turned slightly cold, and he glared at Mr. Qian, Minister of Rites, and said, "Okay, are you dissatisfied with me by crying with me like this?"

Hearing the scolding from the emperor and Shen Wanyu, the Minister of Rites immediately stopped his crying.The entire Golden Luan Hall fell silent in an instant, and Shen Wanyu's brows relaxed slightly.The Minister of Rites stopped crying, and looked at Shen Wanyu with resentment in his eyes.

It doesn't matter if the emperor scolds him, but Shen Wanyu is just a little girl who has no right to scold her.

"Father, my son has something to say." Prince Chu Ziheng came out from the side and glanced at Shen Wanyu.Turning his head to look at the person sitting on the dragon chair, he opened his mouth and said.

"What does the prince want to say?" The emperor looked at Chu Ziheng in surprise, what did the prince suddenly stand up for.

"Father, Miss Shen and Minister of Rites both said that the other party beat each other. It happened that I also went to Taiqing Lake that day, so I saw everything that happened. But if I testify, I am afraid that others will say that Shen Wanyu is me. Cousin, I intend to favor her. Many people in Taiqing Lake saw what happened by the lake yesterday. Why don’t you invite a few people into the palace at random, and you will find out after asking. Whoever said it is true.”

Chu Zhiheng raised his head to look at the emperor on the dragon chair, he still had that gentle and refined look.He could clearly see Shen Wanyu's sturdy actions and words yesterday, she had already frightened those young masters and ladies.No, it was shocking.Those people, he believes, 'tell the truth' and know what to say.That's why he dared to stand up and say these words.

"The crown prince is right. Since the two sides have different words, let's talk to those who were present at the time. I don't think anyone dares to tell lies in this golden palace. It is a crime of deceiving the emperor. They must Will tell the truth."

The emperor nodded, and asked the eunuch beside him to check who was present that day.Afterwards, a few people were randomly announced to enter the palace, and those who were announced to enter the palace after waiting for a while arrived at the Golden Luan Hall.

"See Your Majesty."

The three men who were announced into the palace immediately knelt under the hall and saluted in unison.He sneaked a glance at Qian Bishao, who was kneeling beside him, who was scarier than a pig's head.He glanced at the woman sitting on the chair, looking at them with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.Thinking of her fierce actions and shameless words yesterday, Qi Qi shuddered.

"I think you already know why I am announcing you to enter the palace today?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looking sharply at the three kneeling on the ground, and slowly opened his mouth.

"I know." Hearing the emperor's words, their bodies trembled slightly, and the three of them immediately answered in unison.

"Now that you know it, tell me what happened yesterday. If you let me know that you have lied, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor." The emperor deliberately said something serious, and he saw all the small actions of the three of them just now. .

The three of them glanced at each other, and one of them, a man in a beautiful blue damask gown, said, "Yesterday we went to Taiqing Lake for fun. When a few friends were walking and chatting by the lake, we saw Qian Bishao walking to Shenyang. In front of Miss Shen, she said that she almost drowned. Then Miss Shen refuted Qian Bishao, and Qian Bishao reached out to hit Miss Shen. The little maid beside Miss Shen tried to pull Miss Shen away. Qian Bishao also If you don't give up, you still have to fight. Miss Shen hit him twice out of helplessness."

The man in the beautiful blue damask gown tactfully told what happened yesterday, and after he finished speaking, he sneaked a glance at Shen Wanyu.Seeing that she didn't show any displeasure, I was relieved.They all knew in their hearts that Qian Bishao's father belonged to Concubine De's party.That is to say, those who support the second prince, they cannot offend.But Shen Wanyu is the eldest lady of Beining Houfu and is very popular with the queen and queen mother, so she can't offend her.I can only tactfully tell what happened yesterday, and I just hope that neither side will offend them.

When the emperor heard Qian Bishao said that Shen Wanyu almost drowned, he was upset.Just when he was about to speak, he was robbed by Lord Yushi.

"Your Majesty, this matter is already very clear. Although Qian Bishao made the move first, Miss Shen is fine. Instead, she beat Qian Bishao like this. Both parties are at fault for this matter. If Punishment, both parties must be punished." Lord Yushi suddenly stood up, and said righteously with a righteous face.

What he said was reasonable, as if it was very fair and selfless.But what he said is that if there is a penalty, both parties will be punished, which is very intriguing.Doesn't it mean that either there is no punishment, and if there is any punishment, all punishment cannot be favored.He knew in his heart that she almost drowned in the palace a few days ago and the emperor felt a little guilty towards her.

The emperor naturally knew the small calculations in the heart of Lord Yushi, and smiled coldly in his heart.Today he let him know what is unpredictable.

"Your Majesty Yushi's words are right, both sides are wrong. Of course, both parties must be punished, and I will treat them fairly." The emperor smiled slightly and looked at Lord Yushi.She lowered her eyes to block the cold light in her eyes, as if she was thinking about how to punish, raised her head after a while and said, "Shen Wanyu was also at fault in this matter. But she is still very weak now, so I will punish her to contemplate behind closed doors for three months after the Hundred Flowers Banquet. What's your opinion?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Wanyu has no objection." Shen Wanyu raised her head to look at the emperor, and said calmly.This is the lightest punishment the emperor can give, she is still very satisfied with the result, now it depends on the result of Quan Qian Bissau's disposal.

"It's fine if you don't have an opinion. As for Qian Bishao, you should strike first, although Shen Wanyu was not injured. But it was also a deliberate beating. According to Dakun's national law, the penalty is [-] boards with the cane. If you are injured, you will be halved." Thirty sticks will be enough. Come here and drag him out for execution." Without giving Mr. Yu Shi and Mr. Minister of Rites a chance to react, they called the guards and entrusted Qian Bishao.

After a while, Qian Bishao's screams like killing a pig came from outside.After a while, the shouting stopped.The guard ran in, knelt in the hall and said respectfully to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you have passed out."

When Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites heard that his son had passed out, he knelt down and begged the emperor. "Your Majesty, please go around my son. If you continue to fight, you will die."

He was already injured, but now he was hit by a board, which really added to the injury.The child was not in good health, didn't this kill him?

"I've already said what I said. Could it be that the Minister of Rites is trying to make me go back on my word?" The emperor asked with a slight glance at Lord Yushi, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites knew that the emperor would not give up. He knew it when he heard that person just now said that Qian Bishao said that Shen Wanyu almost drowned to death.But he still couldn't help asking for love. The person who was beaten unconscious was his son.Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by the censor standing beside him.He glanced at Lord Yushi and saw him shaking his head.I could only hold back the pain in my heart, and kept silent.But from now on, he, Yu, and Shen Wanyu have become enemies.

"Wake him up and continue beating." The emperor withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the guard kneeling on the ground.He was very happy to see Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites's ugly face, holding back his anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, the guard turned and left the hall.After a while, Qian Bishao's screams were heard outside the hall.

After a while, two guards entrusted Qian Bishao in.Looking at the unconscious person, a gleam of heartache flashed across the eyes of the Minister of Rites.Raising his eyes to look at Ai Jin, his eyes gleamed with viciousness.Shen Wanyu lazily glanced at the half-dead Qian Bishao, and then turned her eyes to the Minister of Rites who was looking at her viciously.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"Master of the Ministry of Rites, what do you mean by looking at me with such vicious eyes? Your son is now at his own fault." Shen Wanyu suddenly lowered her face, and her voice was as cold as a millennium's ice: " Go back and discipline your son well, if I hear what he said about me next time, it won’t be what happened today, I will let him know what life is better than death."

The Master of the Ministry of Rites did not expect that Ai Jin would dare to say such a thing in front of the emperor so boldly and arrogantly, so he shifted his gaze to the emperor.Shen Wanyu saw that he shifted his gaze to the emperor, and said with a cold smile.

"You don't need to look at the emperor. If I want a life, I would rather die. Even if the emperor wants to stop him, I will not let him go."

Hearing Shen Wanyu's words, the hall fell into silence for a while, looking at the arrogant woman.Inexplicably, everyone believed her words, and if she wanted anyone to live a life worse than death, no one would be able to stop her.What kind of arrogant woman is this, the arrogant arc of her mouth at this moment is engraved in everyone's heart.After all, few people dare to say such words in front of the emperor.

"Okay, Minister of Rites, please take your son home. If you don't go back for treatment, I'm afraid you will really lose your life. Go to the imperial hospital and ask some imperial doctors to go back with Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Show the young master of the Ministry of Rites well. .”

The emperor spoke out at the right time, breaking the silence in the hall.Enough lessons for them today, she gave them another blow, let's call it a day.

"Chenchen, thank you Lord Long En." The Master of the Ministry of Rites knelt down to thank you, gritted his teeth and said.He was about to be suffocated to death by the depression in his heart now, the emperor obviously gave him a slap and then gave him a sweet date to eat.This kind of aggrieved is really uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's retreat. Prince Han, you come with me." The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and walked inside.Without giving the others a chance to speak, the eunuch beside him shouted hastily.

"Retreat!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned around and caught up with the emperor who had gone far away.The Minister of Rites and several guards carried the unconscious Qian Bishao out of the Golden Luan Hall, and let out a cold snort as they passed by Shen Wanyu.Shen Wanyu's eyes sank slightly, and she saw the killing intent in his eyes.

With a cold smile in his heart, the person who had murderous intentions towards her.She won't keep any of them. Since he is already angry with her and intends to kill her, she must act first.It's just that she thought that even on the day of her death, the Minister of Rites might not know that she and her son were just used as guns by the prime minister.

After retreating, everyone dispersed, and Chu Mohan followed the emperor to leave.Shen Wanyu, on the other hand, saw the two of them coming out by herself. As soon as they left the entrance of the main hall that entered An Dian, the maid beside the Empress Dowager stepped forward and saluted.

"Miss Shen. The Empress Dowager asked the servants to wait here, and she asked you to go to her place."

She knew that this palace lady was a confidant palace lady beside the Empress Dowager, Shen Wanyu smiled at her and said, "Okay, I'll help you lead the way."

Shen Wanyu followed the big court lady to the Empress Dowager.Inside the Warm Pavilion, burning spices with a very mild smell.As soon as I stepped into the warm pavilion, I heard the empress dowager's hearty laughter and the voice of Princess Huimin.

"Grandmother, you don't know that I heard that Wan Yu put her foot on the lifeblood of that dude Qian Bishao, and even kicked him in the face several times. I heard that she could no longer see her human form." It's worse than a pig's head."

Princess Huimin sat on the soft couch and rubbed the empress dowager's shoulders.Seeing Shen Wanyu coming in with that grand maid, she jumped off the bed.He ran to Shen Wanyu's side and took her arm.

Shen Wanyu was pulled to the Queen Mother's side by her, with a smile on Shen Wanyu's face.She bowed to the Queen Mother.

"The Empress Dowager, all blessings."

"Okay, there is no one else here. Hurry up, how is your body now? The third princess has been grounded, she is spoiled." The queen mother quickly pulled Shen Wanyu to sit beside her, looking at her pale face. small face.I feel a little distressed, but no matter what, the third princess is also her granddaughter.Although the punishment of being grounded is a bit lighter now, the emperor has decided to let the most severe nun in the palace teach her etiquette.

Shen Wanyu heard what the queen mother said, and knew that she wanted to speak for the third princess.In fact, she didn't want to let the third princess go all the time, and now the queen mother has spoken.She doesn't intend to pursue it like that any more, she said with a slight smile.

"The third princess didn't do it on purpose, and I didn't salute her. The Queen Mother and the Empress don't blame Wanyu for this matter, so that's fine."

She was very satisfied with Shen Wanyu's words.He felt pity for her even more, this time he had wronged the child.

"Empress Dowager, what is the purpose of calling Xiao Yuer here?" Shen Wanyu changed the topic, and she looked at the Queen Mother with a smile.At this time, the queen mother called her here, but she really didn't know why.

"Tell Aijia, are you really with Han'er? Do you really like Han'er?"

Shen Wanyu was taken aback for a moment, she never thought that the queen mother called her here because of this matter.Shen Wanyu didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, the relationship between her and Chu Mohan was not as he said.Everything was just a trick of theirs, how could this make her speak.

"He's good, he's been good to me. I believe in mine and what he can give me."

Shen Wanyu really didn't know how to answer the Queen Mother's words, so she could only say a few casual words.I hope the Queen Mother can believe it, thinking of Chu Mohan.There was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes softened.

The queen mother looked at the shy Shen Wanyu, that was clearly the expression that a woman who thinks of her beloved would show.I believed her words in my heart, it seemed that she really fell in love with Han'er.

And Han'er can say those words, he should also like Wanyu.If two people like each other, then they are not bad together.

"Okay, okay, the Ai family will stop asking. I am very relieved of you two children." The Queen Mother looked at the shy Shen Wanyu, and said with a smile.Then she thought of something, she frowned and said: "You have offended Ribushang now, he is very narrow-minded and revengeful. The wine he loves most is his youngest son, and now his youngest son After being beaten like this by you, he will definitely find a chance to take revenge."

"Wanyu knows, but the enemy in the open is much safer than the enemy in the dark, isn't it?" Shen Wanyu knew that the queen mother was worried about her, but she didn't care about it herself, and all conspiracies and tricks were just for display in the face of absolute strength.

The behemoth of Beining Hou Mansion is not fake, and there are two big backers of the Queen Mother and Queen.

"Well, you just need to pay more attention to yourself. With me and the queen here, we will protect you." The queen mother thought for a while, as long as they protect Shen Wanyu from being plotted by the minister of rites, it should be fine.At least the emperor, he won't touch Shen Wanyu either.

Shen Wanyu and Princess Huimin had lunch with the Queen Mother, and they happened to go back to Prince Han's Mansion with Chu Mohan, who was coming to see the Queen Mother.On the way back, Shen Wanyu frowned and looked at Chu Mohan.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mohan raised his head slightly, looking at Shen Wanyu.Some people wondered why people who were fine just now suddenly seemed to have something on their minds.

"What should I do, the Queen Mother and everyone probably thought I was your unmarried wife."

Shen Wanyu has been worrying about this issue all the time, she doesn't want to talk about relationship issues yet.Although she didn't reject this monstrous persimmon in her heart, she didn't fall in love with him enough to want to marry him.

"It's not bad to marry me, at least I can give you what you want. The prince helped you in the hall today, why do you think he did this. Is it really because you are his cousin?"

Chu Mohan pursed his lips, the prince's actions today reminded him of what he heard that day.He knew that the prince was already interested in his little girl, so he had to guard against the prince.

Shen Wanyu was slightly taken aback, thinking of the prince's actions today.Her heart sank slightly, she knew that if the prince was really interested in her.Things became troublesome, thinking of what the prince said to her that day.There was a chill down her spine, and her scalp was a little numb.

"Monstrous persimmon, let me think about it carefully." Shen Wanyu's mind is a little messed up now, and she must filter everything out in the shortest possible time.

Chu Mohan nodded, he knew he couldn't push her too hard.Otherwise, this girl may do something, maybe she will leave everything here and go away.

He remembered that in his previous life, the princess seemed to be the first woman to perform on the queen mother's birthday.This princess is also a formidable woman, but she takes care of the backyard of the prince's mansion in an orderly manner.

Seeing that Chu Mohan didn't force her, Shen Wanyu felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Soon the carriage arrived in front of the gate of King Han's Mansion, and the two got off the carriage.Shen Wanyu didn't speak to Chu Mohan, and walked directly towards her small courtyard.

Looking at Shen Wanyu's leaving back, Chu Mohan sighed helplessly.This girl is probably getting tangled up again, as she does every time she gets tangled up.He could only let her think clearly, and he turned and walked towards his study.

Shen Wanyu went back to her yard and drove out all those who served her well.Even Qiuzhu could only stay outside, she lay back on the bed.Covering his eyes and looking at the top of the bed, his bright eyes were filled with confusion.

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to do so, why did she feel that her future husband could only choose between the prince and the evil persimmon.This feeling made her uncomfortable, and she had to decide her own life.

But now it seems that she has planned it all by herself.Shen Wanyu reached out and rubbed her forehead, and gradually fell asleep amidst the struggle.

When she woke up again, the night was already dark.She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, Qiu Zhu who was waiting outside heard the movement in the inner room and immediately opened the curtain and walked in.

"Miss, are you awake?" Qiuzhu walked in, saw Shen Wanyu walking to the window, and stretched out her hand to push the window open.

The wind at night was a bit cool, and the drowsiness she hadn't receded immediately disappeared without a trace.The spirit of the whole person was shocked, and she looked at the dark night sky.

"Well, I just woke up. Did anyone come to see me while I was asleep?"

Qiu Zhu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "No, Shizi ordered that no one should disturb you. Today there is a small kitchen in the yard, and your dinner is warming up in the small kitchen. Do you want to eat?"

Shen Wanyu rubbed her forehead, her stomach growled at this moment.Her face flushed slightly, she coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I'm hungry too. Go and bring me dinner."

"Yes, miss." Qiuzhu nodded, turned and left quickly.She heard the growling of the young lady's stomach, and knew that she was really hungry.

As soon as Qiuzhu left, Shen Wanyu's expression darkened.The red lips lifted slightly, looked out the window and said, "Yufeng, come out."
