Chapter 378 Being Participated
Xiaobai squatted at Shang Ruoyi's feet, enjoying her caress, his eyes slightly narrowed and his tail gently wagging, which was an action he would only make when he felt extremely comfortable.
Little Yellow looked at Little White with envy, it also wanted energy.
Where is there any trace of arrogance in Prime Minister Mu?
"My Lord, Princess, today I failed to discipline my daughter." He looked at Mu Qingning and said coldly, "You evil creature, why don't you come and apologize to the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Mu Qingning's legs were so limp, how could she have the strength to stand up?
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Prime Minister Mu, forget it. I don't think Miss Mu is really admitting her mistakes, and I am not the kind of person who would force others to do anything."
"Crown Princess, I know I was wrong." She struggled to stand up, but could not control her legs. Not only her, but all the members of the Mu family were like this.
He was unable to stand up and fell directly to the ground.
"Your Highness, Your Highness truly knows that you were wrong."
"It is a great honor to know your mistakes and then improve them." Shang Ruoyi sneered: "I hope Miss Mu will remember what she said. If I hear Miss Mu say something that shouldn't be said again." She smiled and patted Xiao Bai's head: "Miss Mu doesn't seem to know how powerful this tiger I raised is."
How could Mu Qingning dare to say no after hearing that?
How could she not know how powerful the tiger is?
Just looking at those sharp teeth, they could bite her neck to pieces with one bite.
"Princess, I know I was wrong and I will never do it again. Please forgive me."
He Yunyi sneered: "I think you must have spread these rumors outside."
"No, no, no, it's not you. I just heard it." Mu Qingning quickly waved her hands to deny it.
"It's better not to be you." He Yunyi glanced at her and said, "If you did this, don't blame my Xiao Huang for being rude to you."
Mu Qingning's body trembled, and she glanced at Xiao Huang. Coincidentally, Xiao Huang was also looking at her. Suddenly, Xiao Huang opened his mouth wide and growled at her. Mu Qingning was so scared that her eyes rolled back and she could no longer hold on and fainted.
Shang Ruoyi's eyes darkened slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "This is just once. If you let me hear something I shouldn't hear again in the future." She swept her eyes over the Mu family and said in a cold voice: "Don't blame me for destroying your residence."
In the end, not only Mu Qingning was carried out, but even Prime Minister Mu and Madam Mu were carried out of the palace. It was not their fault. Originally, the two of them could still take a few steps with the help of servants. When they reached the door, they saw two tigers guarding the door, growling from time to time. They were so scared that they rolled down the stairs and fainted.
Many people saw the scene of the Mu family being carried out of the palace. During the morning court session the next day, several reports were made directly to the Dingguo Palace.
"Your Majesty, I think that since the Prince Ding's Palace returned to the capital, some rumors have been heard from time to time in the capital. Recently, there are rumors that the Prince Ding's Consort is not Shangnian's biological daughter at all, but a bastard whose biological father is unknown..." He looked at He Yuwen and He Jingheng, and whispered, "She is a bastard whose biological father is unknown."
As soon as Wei Yan, the Minister of Rites, finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind coming and a slap landed on his face.
There was silence in the court, and everyone looked at He Jingheng in shock. He slowly returned to his seat and stood there, as if he was not the one who had just done this.
"You, you, you..." Wei Yan pointed at him and said coldly, "How dare you hit me! This is in the court, not your Dingguo Palace!"
He Jingheng sneered: "So what?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They never thought that He Jingheng would say such a thing.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan knelt on the ground. "Prince Ding has disrespected the emperor and openly committed a crime in the court. This is a crime of great disrespect. Your Majesty, please punish him severely."
Emperor Tianshun's face turned pale: "He Jingheng."
"Your Majesty." Before Emperor Tianshun could finish, he was interrupted by him: "Your Majesty, I don't care about my wife's background or who her biological father is. What right do they have to talk about it here? As an official appointed by the court, you haven't finished your own work, and your eyes are always looking at my backyard. Shouldn't you be beaten? The Ministry of Rites has so many things to do. A few days ago, Your Majesty asked about the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony next month, and Lord Wei said it was not finished yet. It seems that he has put all his thoughts on this."
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I only heard it." Wei Yan hurriedly explained.
"Since it's just hearsay, even if there is no real evidence, how dare you bring such a thing to your majesty and tell it in front of all the civil and military officials?" He Jingheng smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Wei killed his father and mother before!"
Wei Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is unjust! My parents died a long time ago, how could I have killed them? Your Highness, Your Highness is slandering me!"
"Your Majesty, I am just like Lord Wei, I just heard about it."
Everyone understood that He Jingheng was using his own medicine to retaliate against them.
"Alright." Emperor Tianshun said coldly, "Don't bring up hearsay in the court." He looked at He Jingheng and said, "As a prince, you actually attacked and injured someone in the court. This is really disrespectful. I will fine you half a year's salary as a warning."
"The minister obeys the order."
For fighting in the court, the emperor only fined him half a year's salary. If it were someone else, he would have been dragged away and beaten half to death.
How could Wei Yan, kneeling on the ground, swallow this humiliation?
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
Emperor Tianshun glanced at him impatiently and said, "Speak."
"The prince beat me. I am a lowly person and I dare not complain. But Prime Minister Mu is a senior official in the court and he was also killed by them!" Wei Yan said excitedly: "Dozens of people saw it yesterday. Prime Minister Mu, Madam Mu and Miss Mu were carried out of the Dingguo Palace. Today, Prime Minister Mu took sick leave again. He must have been seriously injured. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for the Prime Minister!"
He Jingheng smiled when he heard this: "Prime Minister, do you mean that I hurt their family yesterday?"
"Whether it has been done or not, the prince must know best."
"I think Prime Minister Mu knows this matter best. Why don't we bring Prime Minister Mu from home and ask him? Then we will know the answer, right?"
"Nonsense!" The emperor said coldly, "Prime Minister Mu is ill at home, how can he come?"
"Just ask someone to carry him here." He Jingheng's eyes swept across Wei Yan's face: "If we can't give an explanation to the ministers today, won't the Dingguo Palace be branded as bullying an official appointed by the court?" He looked at He Lingsheng: "Prince, am I right?"
He Lingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said softly: "What Jing Heng said makes some sense."
