Chapter 238 Just to disgust her
Shen Yindi spoke up boldly, "Your Majesty, after I took her back for treatment, I found that the Third Princess was very thin and severely malnourished. There were also purple bruises on her arms. It's hard to imagine how she was treated in the palace before."
"What kind of princess is this? She's not even as good as a lady from an ordinary family."
"Oh, being a princess is so terrible!"
She complained non-stop.
The Emperor Chu's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"You mean, Yao'er was abused in the palace?"
"I can't say whether my daughter-in-law is abused or not, but the people who take care of her definitely don't care at all."
"It was I who carried her out of the palace that day. As a woman, I didn't feel her weight at all!"
"I heard that the third princess's mother died last year. She was in a very bad mood and has been depressed. She is so depressed that she has become ill. She can't even get out of bed now! How pitiful!"
"That day we went to the Third Princess's bedroom to look for her. The maids who were taking care of her were eating melon seeds and chatting in the yard. No one paid attention to her, and she fell to the ground."
"Eunuch Duofu also witnessed these things with his own eyes. I wonder if he told you about it?"
The deep voice of the Emperor Chu sounded: "Good luck!"
Duofu immediately pushed the door open from outside.
"The slave is here."
"Immediately detain those servants in Yao'er Palace! Give them thirty strokes of the cane and expel them from the palace." Emperor Chu said coldly.
"The slave obeys the order."
Thirty strokes of the cane, and whether they can survive depends on their own fate. This is considered a very severe punishment.
After Duofu left, Shen Yindi asked again: "Isn't it a long time since the Emperor visited the Third Princess?"
"I am so busy that I don't have time to visit them."
Shen Yindi snorted in his heart. He had time to accompany his new love, but no time to see his daughter.
Humph, double standard dog!
It's really obvious to love or not to love.
"In that case, I beg the emperor to let the third princess stay in my house for a while to recuperate and take care of her body. If the emperor wants to arrange a marriage for her, she can return to the palace."
The King of Chu did not hesitate for too long and agreed readily.
Anyway, he has no idea for the time being.
"Take good care of her."
"I will take care of her, of course. She even calls me the Emperor's sister-in-law."
After explaining the matter, the King of Chu let her leave the palace.
But when she left the palace this time, the King of Chu gave her five boxes of gold that he had rewarded her with before, as well as some cloth and silk, and some high-end supplements.
Said it was to thank her for taking care of the two princesses.
Shen Yindi naturally would not refuse, no matter how much is given, it is not too much!
Returning home with a lot of money, her depressed mood was slightly relieved.
At the same time, in Concubine Shu's bedroom.
At this time, the second prince Chu Xing and the sixth prince Chu Xin were both here.
Chu Xing was in a good mood because of the rumors about Chu Yan and Chu Heng in the past two days.
He thought they were fighting each other.
It just so happened that he also sent some people to secretly fan the flames.
The bigger the public opinion, the better!
He felt that he would definitely be able to reap some benefits this time.
"Mother, do you think our father will punish Chu Heng this time?" Chu Xing asked with bright eyes while sitting next to his mother.
Concubine Shu sighed, "Probably not. Your father didn't look for him today. Instead, he went to admit his fault. This trick worked well."
Chu Xing didn't understand: "Why? What he did clearly brought shame to the royal family! It affected the reputation of the royal family!"
Concubine Shu looked at her son helplessly and thought, can't he use his brain?
"After all, it's just rumors, there's no evidence. If your father were to punish him, wouldn't he be led by this kind of public opinion?"
"If this method is so effective, then anyone can use it. None of us can escape. Today it's him, tomorrow it's you, are we going to deal with everyone?"
Chu Xing frowned, it seemed that what his mother said made sense.
"The other party used this trick just to damage the image of Prince Chu Heng in the hearts of the people. They must know that your father will not do anything to him?"
It's just to disgust people on purpose.
"Is this matter just going to be over like this?" Chu Xing was unconvinced.
Concubine Shu ate melon seeds and sneered, "What else? What else do you want? I'm just here to watch the fun. But it's not bad to disgust the queen."
"In two days, all the rumors, whether about Chu Heng or Chu Yan, will disappear without a trace." Concubine Shu said firmly.
"Wouldn't that be a waste of a good opportunity?"
“Where is the good opportunity?”
"If you want your father to depose the crown prince, he must be guilty of treason. How can it be that easy?"
"Just investigate slowly. The best way right now is not to act rashly. Use stillness to overcome movement." Concubine Shu said earnestly.
Chu Xing was a little annoyed, he didn't understand.
If his mother hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to report to his father.
It was half an hour later that Shen Yindi returned home.
This time the process was very fast, and it took only a little over an hour.
Chu Yan was still waiting in the yard. Hearing the noise, he walked over quickly.
Sure enough, Shen Yindi pushed open the door with a faint smile on her face.
"Adi, what's going on? What did father say?" Chu Yan was a little anxious.
"That's not what I said. Let's not talk about that for now. Help me move the things in. The emperor gave me a lot of rewards this time."
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Well, his A Di has been to the palace so many times, and it seems that he has never come back empty-handed.
I have already received a lot of money from my father.
While moving things, Shen Yindi told him in detail about her conversation with the emperor today.
At the end, she did not forget to complain: "I now feel that the emperor just wants to be quiet for a while."
"Whether it's your rumors or Chu Heng's today's rumors, he doesn't want to read them. He said he would personally issue an order to quell them."
"Of course, this is about the royal family's reputation."
"Hmph, but I won't let them go easily." Shen Yindi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What else does Adi want to do?" Chu Yan was curious.
"Anyway, Qi'er's character won't appear again, so there has to be an explanation."
"I said that the girl who complained was silenced."
"As for who silenced him, everyone has their own guesses."
"No matter how the emperor handles this, I will spread this rumor anyway!"
Chu Yan nodded in appreciation: "Adi is indeed resourceful! I admire you!"
Shen Yindi pouted, it was useless anyway, he was still teasing her.
If the emperor doesn't believe that Chu Heng did it, then it's just a rumor.
"Don't be depressed. At least Chu Heng's image in the eyes of the people has been damaged." Chu Yan patted the top of his princess' head and said comfortingly.
After they moved their things, Shen Yindi discovered that Mu Ningyuan had not left yet.
"Lord Mu, Qi'er hasn't woken up yet?" she asked curiously.
Mu Ningyuan shook his head: "Not yet."
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Si Qi walked in, stretching and yawning.
Lord Mu's eyes lit up and he immediately went to meet him.
