Silly husband and rude wife

Chapter 167 Change from Passive to Active
The emperor's sharp eyes swept over the crowd, and saw that the people kneeling on the ground were bursting with anger, but Cheng Chen's face was indifferent, and no expression could be seen.

"Prince Chen, do you have anything else to say?" The emperor's tone was cold, and everyone's previous doubts became pale at this moment.

"My son has a clear conscience, and the one who cleans himself will be cleared! Please, father, put this son in prison until he really wants to get out!" Cheng Chen looked at the emperor firmly, with a sonorous and forceful tone.

"Third brother! How is this possible!" Cheng Lei jumped up in shock and said loudly.

"Father, my daughter-in-law thinks what the prince said is reasonable. This matter is too serious, why not just follow what the prince said." Jinnian bowed to the emperor, "And this matter, the great prince and the fifth prince are not suitable. Participate, it is better to hand it over to a relatively clean person for investigation!"

Jinnian bit down on the word "clean and honest", hoping that this move would reduce the emperor's suspicion of Cheng Chen, so he took the initiative instead of being passive.

The emperor's sharp eyes relaxed slightly, and he looked carefully at Cheng Chen and Jinnian, and saw that there was no trace of panic on their faces.So he said: "According to King Chen's words, put him in a prison first, and no one can visit him! This matter is handed over to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation, and no one else is allowed to participate!"

Although Cheng Lei felt wronged for Cheng Chen, when he heard what Jinnian said, he stopped talking and just looked at the emperor unwillingly.

Jinnian sneered in his heart, the royal family is really sad, they may seem to be doing well at ordinary times, but when it comes to the throne, they turn their faces and deny anyone, even the emperor is no exception.Maybe he can pamper Cheng Chen to heaven at ordinary times, but once his position is threatened, even his own flesh and blood will not be soft!
Two guards walked in from outside the door, Cheng Chen kowtowed to the emperor, stood up and gave Jinnian a comforting look, then followed the two guards away fearlessly.

"Retire too!" The emperor said wearily, Jinnian had an illusion for a moment, as if the emperor had aged a lot in an instant.

It's not easy to get up and sit in that position, Jinnian thought silently in her heart, then kowtowed, and followed Cheng Yang and Cheng Lei back out.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Cheng Lei began to complain: "Sister-in-law, how could you let the third brother go to prison, he is a prince, how could he endure such suffering."

"If you endure hardships, you can be a master. Only when you can bend and stretch can you be a man. Now it is the best arrangement." Jinnian looked into the distance lightly, the spring sunshine was just right, and the people were warm.

"Jinnian is right! It's better than father personally ordering the third brother to be imprisoned." Cheng Yang stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his white clothes were blown up by the wind, brighter than the spring sunshine, but the corners of his mouth were tinged With a helpless sneer, the people who watched felt distressed.

"Then, in order to avoid suspicion, don't we stay out of the house for a few days?" Cheng Lei looked at Jinnian, in his heart, he trusted Jinnian, or admired Jinnian.

"On the contrary, according to your temperament, you should run around for your third brother. If you are so calm, the emperor will doubt it again. I suspect that you and your third brother are in collusion to form a clique for personal gain!" Jinnian's mind was unusually clear at this time .

"Okay, then leave it to me to do whatever you have to do. I promise to do my best and go through fire or water." Cheng Lei patted his chest and said proudly.

"You don't need to go through fire and water, don't have something, you just want to help me." Jinnian narrowed his eyes slightly, this war must not be lost, now that Cheng Chen has been isolated from the outside world, there is nothing he can do.

Jinnian whispered something in Cheng Lei's ear, then handed him a jade pendant.Cheng Lei walked out quickly.

"Brother, can you help me find Lie Yan!" Jinnian looked at the man who was looking at him with a faint smile.

"Lie Yan is not in Jinyun Country recently, so I'm afraid I can't help you." Cheng Yang frowned slightly, thinking.

"What a useless guy, he knows to disappear at the critical moment!" Jinnian complained dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, it's not so easy to defeat the third brother. Dali Siqing is a good and honest official, I believe he will not wrong the third brother." Cheng Yang looked at Jinnian tenderly.
