Chapter 709: Mother and Son Fall Out
While he was still daydreaming, the queen had already ordered someone to pour cleaning oil into the water.
Then, she took out the ten letters and said in front of all the civil and military officials: "Everyone is here. Today, I am here to prove that these letters are all forged and framed by the prince."
"I would like to ask all the adults to help me bear witness and clear my father's name."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and no one said anything.
After all, they couldn't afford to offend the Crown Prince, the Queen, and Tutor Su, nor did they want to offend any of them.
Finally, it was Xie Jinrong who stood up and said, "Don't worry, Queen, I am here to help you and Master Su to be a witness."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really fabricated and framed Master Su, I would be the first one to disagree."
Xie Jinrong had wanted to help Master Su before, but he never found an opportunity.
The Queen's appearance this time gave him a chance to openly support Tutor Su, and he immediately stood up.
Xie Jinrong knew that the Queen and Ji Yuntang had a good relationship.
He thought that even for the sake of his daughter Ji Yuntang, he should stand up and support the other party once.
After the words fell, Prime Minister Hua also stood up and said: "I am also here to help the Queen as a witness."
"As the only two-dynasty veteran of our Dongchen country, Master Su's reputation in the court is unmatched by anyone standing here."
"If such an important official in the court is framed and wrongly accused, it will surely chill the hearts of more officials. I firmly disagree with this."
Prime Minister Hua has always been dissatisfied with Luo Jingshen's style of doing things, thinking that he only has good words but no ability.
In his opinion, how can a person who doesn't care about family affection and doesn't know how to be grateful be a good king?
In addition, Luo Jingshen has been very close to Ji Nanchuan over the years, and Ji Nanchuan has often helped Ji Huaiche to cause trouble for Xu Muyan in the Dali Temple.
As a result, he hated Luo Jingshen even more.
As Xie Jinrong and Prime Minister Hua spoke out, more and more ministers who had a good relationship with Grand Tutor Su also stood up.
They all said that they were willing to help the queen to bear witness.
Prince of Chen Luo Sinian and Prince of Qi Luo Feizhou also stood up.
Luo Sinian had a good relationship with the Night Palace, and he thought that the Queen and Tutor Su were good people, so he took the initiative to offer help.
As for Luo Feizhou, he simply couldn't stand Luo Jingshen and wanted to make things difficult for him.
The corners of his lips raised in a sarcastic arc.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really interesting. He openly dealt with his own mother and grandfather in the court, and he treated them as if it was natural. You must be the first person in our Dongchen country to sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice. I really admire you."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and immediately changed his words: "Oh no, I remembered it wrong."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince should be the second person to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice. The first person is undoubtedly Lord Ji, who turned his own daughter into an enemy with his own hands."
"It seems that the saying that birds of a feather flock together is really true."
Luo Feizhou mocked Luo Jingshen and Ji Nanchuan in front of the court officials.
He felt that Luo Jingshen was simply courting death.
Now that Luo Junhe's leg has healed, there is one more person competing with them for the throne.
He did not try to curry favor with the Queen and Tutor Su and ask them to help him secure his position as Crown Prince. Instead, he was the first to stand up and sue Tutor Su, trying to bring down the Su family.
In this way, wouldn't it push Su Taifu and the Queen to the side of others?
From now on, if he wants the Queen and Tutor Su to help him again, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Luo Feizhou mercilessly mocked Luo Jingshen in his heart. He couldn't understand the prince's train of thought.
However, the more the other party commits suicide, the happier he is.
If he doesn't stand up and find trouble for him now, when will he?
After hearing what Luo Feizhou said, Luo Jingshen was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and said: "King Qi, I am your elder brother after all, please be respectful to me when you speak to me."
"This is the imperial court after all, and my father is here too. You can't fail to distinguish between the superiors and the inferiors, can you?"
When Luo Feizhou heard this, he felt like he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Etiquette of respect and inferiority, do you have it yourself?"
"You can even frame your own grandfather, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about etiquette?"
"If Your Highness didn't study well when he was young, it would be better for him to go back and be retrained before coming out, so as not to embarrass himself here."
Luo Jingshen: "..."
Luo Jingshen: "!!!"
His eyes were red and he wished he could rush up and tear Luo Feizhou to pieces.
If looks could kill, Luo Feizhou would have been killed by him thousands of times.
Luo Jingshen calmed down and said, "I guarantee with my own character that I did not forge the letter, nor did I make false accusations. Everything I said is true."
"I found those letters in my grandfather's study, otherwise I would not have shown them to my father."
Emperor Jingyang felt a headache listening to them quarreling here.
After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "In that case, let's follow the Queen's method and put the letters in the water to verify it."
The queen asked the servants to bring up the water and poured some oil into it.
Then, she followed Ji Yuntang's instructions, took out a letter and placed it in the water.
Soon, a magical scene happened.
Everyone saw that the font on the letter gradually became lighter and lighter, and then fell off.
After one letter fell out, the queen put a second letter in.
The font on the second letter also slowly fell off.
When Luo Jingshen saw this scene, his eyes widened instantly. He screamed in disbelief: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and pointed at the water and said, "There's something wrong with this water. Something must have been added to it."
"Pa!" As soon as the words fell, Luo Jingshen was slapped hard in the face.
The queen's eyes were grim and her clear eyes were filled with anger.
"You are still saying this at this time. Why did I raise such an ungrateful thing like you?"
After this slap, the queen felt much relieved.
Five bright red fingerprints appeared on Luo Jingshen's face.
He just felt his head buzzing and looked at the queen in disbelief.
"Mother, you hit me?"
As far as he could remember, this was the second time the Queen had beaten him.
But this was the first time he was beaten in front of civil and military officials.
Luo Jingshen felt a sense of humiliation rising in his heart. The eyes of the court officials around him were like sharp blades, cutting off his remaining dignity.
He bit his lower lip tightly to avoid making a fool of himself in public.
Luo Jingshen stood up and asked, "Mother, what did I do wrong that you treat me like this?"
