Chapter 48 Princess 1
Miaoge and others rushed to the palace. Miaoge and the old prince rested in the side hall of the Jinluan Hall. Suddenly, an eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the empress dowager is coming."
"Hmm." The old prince nodded slightly.
"Empress dowager, isn't the empress dowager indifferent to the world? Why did you come today? Miao Ge was a little puzzled. Things turned out like this, and she didn't know how Situ You would deal with it. She wanted to stay out of the matter, but she had already entered the game.
For a moment, the empress dowager came in with the help of the eunuch. Miao Ge thought how old the empress dowager was. The empress dowager was well maintained, ten years younger than her.
"Miao Ge, please the Empress Dowager." Miao Ge got up and saluted slightly.
"You are a wonderful song. You have grown so big." The Empress Dowager looked at Miao Ge, who was bandaged in her right hand, and said with a smile, "Time flies. Miao Ge has grown up."
The empress dowager is quite kind, but I'm afraid it's not simple behind the kindness. Miao Ge feels that the empress dowager is calculating her.
" Sister-in-law, you're here." The old prince looked at the old empress dowager and said with a smile.
"His uncle, I heard about Miao Ge. Come and have a look." The old empress dowager sat down and said, "Miao Ge, do you have better hands?"
"It's a little better to go back to the Empress Dowager." Miao Ge answered faintly.
"That fifth princess is too much. She is so careless. I will definitely teach her a lesson when I go back." The old empress dowager appeased the wonderful song.
In the court, Situ You glanced at the ministers with cold eyes.
"Fang Aiqing, don't you have anything to say to everyone?" Situ You opened his mouth to break the silence. Fang Fu has gone too much. Over the years, he has formed a party for personal gain. When he finds evidence, he will definitely correct him.
"Your Majesty, I am frightened." Fang Fu, who was named, came out and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the prince of Xuyang has also arrived today. We have arranged for a reception."
Fang Fu didn't mention the stabbing of Miao Ge.
"Father, I heard that General Su's beloved daughter was stabbed by the fifth sister. What's going on? Everyone in Fengcheng knows it. Situ Ze arched his hand and said, "As a royal princess, the fifth sister doesn't look like a princess at all. What does the people think of us when the royal family makes such a thing happen?
"Yes, your Majesty, when Weichen came to court today, people talked about this matter all the way. Weichen heard that the fifth princess went to General Su's house with her sword to help the prime minister and the prime minister's daughter vent her anger."
"Your Majesty, the matter of the fifth princess affects the reputation of the royal family, and we must solve it well." Those who supported King Ze squeezed Prime Minister Fang and King Jing one after another.
"I also want to discuss this matter today. It's very serious. Dear friends, I will not favor anyone, let alone damage the prestige of the royal family." Situ You said seriously, "Fang Aiqing, it's about you and your daughter. Don't tell me that you don't know."
"Your Majesty, I really don't know!" Fang Fu knelt down and denied that the matter was exactly as he guessed. Their Fang family was involved. They all blamed Yinqiu's unfilial daughter for bringing so much trouble to the Fang family.
"You don't know, Fang Fu, are you lying to me? Your daughter Fang Yinqiu went into the palace to see Concubine Fang, and then said something to the fifth princess. Don't think I'm a fool.
The emperor was in power, and the ministers in the Jinluan Hall were trembling. They were afraid that things would affect them.
"Father, General Su is a meritorious minister. The fifth sister cut Miss Miaoge's arm and almost died. I have been thinking about it for a long time. The fifth sister is still young and may have been used by someone with intentions." Situ Ze said again.
Fang Fu, you old fox, you usually bully others, and I will drag you into the water and let you deal with it.
"When you return to the emperor, the old minister is frightened." Fang Fu said calmly, "The fifth princess is usually fierce and capricious. How can I know what she does?"
"Your Majesty, since the Prime Minister doesn't know, let the parties involved in the matter understand." Ji Kang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, arched his hand and said seriously, "This matter is not small, whether it is big or not. It is related to the reputation of the royal family."
"Mother concubine, what should I do? What should I do? Will my father really punish me?" Situ Qian was very worried that she would be punished.
"Cyan, remember, what the mother said to you, we can only protect ourselves." Concubine Fang said seriously, "If the old prince really asks your father to abolish the division of my noble concubine, we will have nothing. Qianer, let's go and have a look near the Jinluan Hall. Today, we may go to the Golden Hall to face each other."
"Mother, Qian'er knows." Situ Qian nodded obediently.
In the Golden Hall
Su Yi knew that King Ze was ostensibly for him, but actually for himself. King Ze used this incident to achieve his purpose of squeezing King Jing.
"General Su, is your daughter really injured?" Fang Fu asked, "Even if she is injured, it's none of our family's business."
" Prime Minister Fang, I didn't say anything about your Fang family. As for why the fifth princess cut the song, only the fifth princess knows." Su Yi looked at the cunning Fang Fu and looked at each other coldly.
" Prime Minister Fang, you said it's none of your family's business. Is it false for your daughter to insult my second brother?" Situ Ze sneered, "I really admire the tutoring of Prime Minister Fang. A little woman dares to despise the royal family."
"Fang Fu, you disappoint me so much. I thought you would know how to repent. For the sake of your daughter's young age, she didn't hold her accountable. She instigated the fifth princess to cause trouble everywhere. What's your intention?"
Fang Fu, who knelt on the ground, said tremblingly, "I don't know that Yinqiu and the fifth princess are out of the palace. Your Majesty, the fifth princess is stubborn and usually likes to bully Miss Su Miaoge. Maybe it's a misunderstanding of her daughter's family."
Fang Fu shifted the responsibility to Situ Qian. If their Fang family assumes this responsibility, they can't take it.
" Prime Minister Fang, although the fifth sister is usually unruly, she won't do anything unreasonable. I think it may be my daughter's business. It's better to let the parties make it clear!" Situ Jing, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.
What a Jingwang, he plans to protect himself. Doesn't he know that without the support of the Fang family, he will lose his chips for the throne?
Situ Jing thought that it was necessary for him to protect himself. Without Fang Guifei and King Jing, the Fang family was nothing, so he was not afraid that Fang Fu would not support him.
"Okay, I will announce that the parties come in and let them make it clear." Situ You had long expected that Fang Fu and others would not comply. Situ continued to say, "Come on, announce all the parties to come in."
"I obey." Situ You's personal eunuch, Eunuch Hai, nodded respectfully.
After a while, all the parties came. When Fang Yinqiu saw Miao Ge, she glanced at her coldly. Miao Ge didn't care about her at all.
"How can you lack me when it's so lively!" Suddenly, the voice of an old urchin sounded, and the people in the hall looked at it together.
"Your Majesty." Some people who knew the old prince made a sound.
"Uncle, you're here. Come and take a seat for the old prince." Situ You came down from the dragon chair with a smile and went to help the old prince.
His behavior made everyone understand the high status of this old prince in the emperor's heart.
"Youer, Ge'er's hand is injured. Please let her sit down and talk!" The old prince asked for a seat for Miao Ge.
Fang Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked. The old prince who traveled outside suddenly came back. The emperor's attitude towards him was the same as before. They were like father and son. With the support of the old prince, Su Yi must be proud.
"Uncle, what you said is very true." Situ You asked the old prince to sit down and then returned to the dragon chair.
"I have met the old prince. Please send my peace to the old prince." In a moment, all the ministers knelt down in unison.
"Why can she sit down?" Situ Qian muttered in a low voice.
"Since everyone is here, let's make things clear in front of me and my uncle." After sitting down, Situ You said seriously, "If anyone dares to play tricks, don't blame me for being rude."
"Ger, don't be afraid. With your grandfather here, the foreign guild will make the decision for you." The old prince looked at the wonderful song sitting next to him and comforted him.
"Five princess, you provoked the matter again. What's going on?" Situ You looked at Situ Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.
"Father, I listened to my cousin's words before I went to find Miss Su Miaoge." Situ Qian said tremblingly, "Father, my cousin came to my mother's bedroom yesterday. I wanted to go out to play, so I asked her to take my son out. Along the way, my cousin was talking ill of Miss Su Miaoge, saying that Su Miaoge was a nymphomaniac, bullied her, and let her and uncle be punished by you."
"Your Majesty, the minister didn't say that. Everything was caused by the fifth princess herself. Miss Su Miaoge's hand was also cut by her. It's none of the minister's business."
Fang Yinqiu and the fifth princess suspect each other and shirk each other's responsibilities. It seems that in front of interests, family affection is false. The emperor will not punish the fifth princess, and Fang Yinqiu's father and daughter are unlucky. Situ You is really scheming. He uses their father and daughter to punish the Fang family. The more he thinks about it, the cooler it gets.
