The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 52 The crime of harming the mother of the country

As soon as he finished speaking, the people with different expressions in the hall all turned their attention to Chu Yu!

Princess Yu belongs to Chu Yu. Even though many people in Kyoto know that Princess Yu is just a name for nothing, but now that Chu Yu is sitting in the main hall, no one dares to speak lightly.

Chu Yu still looked indifferent, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him. Even when Lin Yiman mentioned Su Youning, there was no trace of emotion on his face.

Not knowing when the wine glass in his hand was replaced by a tea cup, Chu Yu took a sip and placed the tea cup on the low table in front of him.

The next second, dark and profound eyes fell on Lin Yiman in the center of the hall.

Lin Yiman felt a cold, sword-like gaze oppressing her, and she couldn't stand it anymore!

She regretted it after she said the name of Princess Yu, Su Youning!

Lin Yiman had forgotten that Chu Yu was right above the main hall, blaming the people in his house so bluntly. She couldn't help but think that the Lin family would never have a good life in the future.

Among the officials, Lin Ze, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was really uneasy. He didn't want his daughter to be in the limelight from the beginning, but the wife of the family said that the opportunity was rare, but now it has harmed their family.

Not only Lin Ze but also Su Zhixing were restless. Although he was sitting calmly, his heart was already anxious.

Concubine Ling acted out the drama of sisterly love when the incident happened.

"Princess, what should we do?"

"Come here, bring Princess Yu up for questioning."

Ruyi's eyes turned red, and after thinking about it, she decided to say it with all her heart.

The emperor had a stern look on his face.

Su Youning sighed, slowed down his tone, and explained.

Ruyi was confused and shook her head in fear when she saw Su Youning's expression.

Ruyi was extremely anxious, as she was just one step away from completing this tricky task. Unfortunately, she was framed as the culprit for destroying other people's clothes.

He didn't know why such matters were still related to Prince Yu's Mansion, because Chu Yu deliberately favored Su Youning, whom he had never met.

Concubine Ling held Empress Lu's hand. After hearing the emperor's order, the two of them shook hands with each other, tacitly waiting to see the show.

The master and servant were talking, and Eunuch An had already led people into the side hall.

The emperor was also slightly startled when he heard the words "Princess Yu".

But something unexpected happened in the main hall. She realized that something was wrong and quickly ran quietly to the side hall to tell Su Youning about the matter.

Seeing Su Youning holding the hand of a slave and saying something, Eunuch An flicked the fly whisk and sounded a high-pitched voice.

Concubine Ling's words directly turned this matter into a major event in the Southern Dynasty. If no one framed her, that would be fine. If anyone really caused trouble, they would be charged with the crime of harming the mother of the country.

Queen Lu sighed slightly, as if you are right but I am powerless, and lowered her eyes no longer looking at the emperor.

Is this going to kill someone?

The only thing he was glad about was that Qin Su had gone to Linglong Temple in the past few days. Qin Su had not received any orders. Qianqiu Banquet only had to report physical discomfort in advance and he did not need to come. Otherwise, Qin Su would have shed tears when encountering such a scene.

.

Shen Moli wanted to find a chance to remind Su Youning, but she didn't leave Prince Yu's mansion every day.

"Don't panic. We can't run away from the palace now. It's better to face it calmly. The emperor and queen will definitely send someone to take me to the main hall. Then I'll see what's going on!"

Today at the Qianqiu Banquet, Shen Moli was ready to meet Su Youning to remind her not to have grudges with the people in the harem. Unexpectedly, Su Youning fell into the trap of the people in the harem first.

Su Youning was very curious. She obviously only used a needle to twist the hem of her skirt twice, so why was the hem of her skirt torn?

At this moment, she stood beside Queen Lu as if she was concerned, and after hearing these words, she immediately whispered comfort.

Eunuch An, who was beside Queen Lu, took the order and took the palace maid to the side hall with a flick of his fly whisk.

The extremely dignified Queen Lu raised an imperceptible smile on her lips, then frowned and asked the Emperor in a low voice.

Ruyi originally listened to Su Youning's order and checked the program and list with the musicians in the main hall. When Lin Yiman came on the stage, she was secretly happy that the job was finally completed.

Besides, the imperial concubine has said so, if she continues to cover up the matter like this, I'm afraid it will hurt the queen's heart.

When Su Youning heard this, his face sank and he said sternly.

As expected, he was a eunuch. His voice was sharp and thin, and coupled with the sinister intonation, it was really unpleasant. However, no matter how much he was unhappy, Su Youning didn't show it on his face and said calmly.

"Concubine Ling said too much, but now that the matter has come out, we must find out."

Shen Moli of the Guards Department wasn't much better. There were Dongchang spies everywhere in the palace. He didn't dare to move around at will. He was completely panicked when he heard Su Youning's name.

"First, you went to the main hall as soon as Miss Qin came on stage, and no one would believe you when you went out to plead guilty; second, this matter was clearly framed by someone, and the target was me and had nothing to do with you; third, you thought it was just tattered clothes.

Have you? This matter is related to the Queen's Qianqiu Banquet. If something like this happened, it would be a crime of destroying the palace banquet and being disrespectful to the Queen. At worst, it may be suspected of cursing the mother of the Southern Dynasty."

"Slave, don't be reckless anymore, I will listen to the princess in everything."

Su Youning pursed her lips and held Ruyi's hand to comfort her.

"Please!"

The emperor is in a dilemma. Now that hundreds of officials, wives, and relatives of the emperor are present in the main hall, it is really inappropriate to show partiality directly.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is fishy, ​​but it involves Prince Yu's Mansion, so I might as well give it up and let this show end here."

Su Youning felt disgusted in her heart.

"Nonsense, did you know that this matter is not just about tearing clothes."

But Empress Lu used this retreat-for-advance move before he opened his mouth, which made it difficult for him to just speak up and let the matter go.

"Hey, Princess Yu still has time to talk to your servant. Something happened in the main hall. The Emperor and the Queen ordered this servant to come and take you for questioning."

Seeing Su Youning's calm face, Eunuch An's eyebrows flashed with a trace of sarcasm, and he said in a prolonged tone.

"If the Miss Lin family is sure that the princess did it, why don't you go out and admit that it was the slave who tore Miss Lin's dress? It's better than the princess being framed for no reason."

"Sister, how can we let this matter go like this? Today is my sister's golden day. If this matter happens on such an important day, we must find out clearly. If Miss Lin is lying, we must make plans for this ominous sign in advance.

Whether you pray for blessings or offer sacrifices, you must get rid of this bad luck. If Miss Lin's words are correct and someone is indeed deliberately framed, then it is a serious crime to harm the mother of the country. Sister must not be soft-hearted!"

It took some effort for him to stop the people who secretly advised Su's trip. His people found out that Su Youning was at odds with Chu Lian, the Fifth Highness of the dynasty. Being at odds with Chu Lian meant that he was in conflict with Concubine Ling and Empress Lu in the harem.

It also creates sorrow and resentment.

After saying this, Ruyi's little face completely wrinkled up. Now she didn't dare to act rashly. If she failed to plead guilty and harmed the princess, it would be a big sin. She waved her hand.

"Then my father-in-law will lead the way."

Eunuch An took Su Youning and Ruyi into the main hall.

Su Youning lowered her eyes slightly and saw Lin Yiman kneeling on the ground. She walked up to Lin Yiman calmly, knelt down dignifiedly and saluted before saying respectfully.

"You Ning, see the Emperor, see the Queen."
