Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 85
The first ray of sunlight in the morning pierced the mist and dispelled the chill that had accumulated overnight.

Ling Youyao stared at the account book in her hand in a daze. Even though she had earned thousands of taels these days, she couldn't even get excited at the moment.

When Lu Bao came in, seeing her in a daze, she asked, "Princess, what are you thinking? Lu Sheng is here."

"Lu Sheng is here?" Ling Youyao came back to her senses, "Did you say what it was?"

She told Lu Sheng that if it's not a big deal, you don't need to come to the palace to look for her, so as not to attract attention.

Lu Bao shook her head: "He didn't say anything, but he looked anxious."

Ling Youyao got up, walked out, and said: "Go and see, he might really have something urgent."

Lu Sheng was waiting in the main hall, when he saw Ling Youyao coming, he hurried forward: "Ma'am, something happened!"

"what happened?"

Lu Sheng said: "I went to deliver the goods this morning, and I happened to hear Mr. Goat Beard on the street corner telling a story about a mother beating a child. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but the more I heard it, the more I felt something was wrong."

Although the story was not named, Ling Youyao could still tell that it was about Fu Mingjue and Ronggui.

What she was most worried about still happened.

"Now it is said that King Jing is imprisoning his biological mother outside, how ugly is it to say, madam, what should we do?" Lu Sheng worried.

Ling Youyao's brows moved, and she said, "You go back first, and I will take care of it."

"Okay," Lu Sheng nodded, "If there is anything Madam needs me to do, just ask."

Ling Youyao answered absently.

People only came to the palace last night, and today the news spread that Ronggui was still alive. Fu Xiuyun's actions were unexpectedly fast. It seemed that he was determined to deal with Fu Mingjue this time.

Now Fu Mingjue has not come back from the court, and he hasn't come back for so long, I'm afraid that in the early court, the ministers have already reported this matter.

So what's next for them?
Ling Youyao didn't know, and didn't dare to think, she went to the backyard restlessly, ignoring Lubao calling her behind her.

Fu Xiuyun deliberately released the news, he must have wanted to arouse the public opinion of the people, and used the courtiers to force Fu Mingjue to submit, and then sent people to search the palace. If the nobleman Rong is really exposed in front of everyone, it is really a situation where there is no way out.

So, what Ling Youyao has to do now is - never let them find a trace of evidence of Ronggui's existence.
At that time, in Fengtian Hall——

Fu Xiuyun, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform. The bead curtain hanging from his forehead covered his expression, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

The atmosphere in the hall was condensed, and the faces of all the officials were unpredictable. They were surprised and disgusted, but more of them were gloating.

Zuodu Yushi Louqi blew his beard and said righteously: "Your Majesty, Ci Wu still feeds back, and the lamb still kneels and breastfeeds. King Jing imprisoned his birth mother for dozens of years. He really disregarded human relations and violated conscience!"

"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly, and give Fahrenheit justice!"

With the leader, those ministers who had long held grudges against Fu Mingjue stood up and denounced his evil deeds, all of them threatened to punish Fu Mingjue severely and seek justice for nobleman Rong.

But they forgot that the evil cause of this incident was the noble man.

Facing the criticism of the ministers, Fu Mingjue remained silent the whole time, his long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow in his eyes, and the light in his eyes was dim.

Standing in the queue of civil servants, Ling Qingyan tightened her fingers slightly, turned her head to look at Shen Xuhuai, with a questioning look in her eyes: "Is this what you're talking about?"

Without squinting, Shen Xuhuai said calmly, "Yes, and no."

Hearing his answer, Ling Qingyan's forehead twitched, and she lowered her voice and said, "Shen Chao, I said that if you do something that hurts Yao'er, I will not let you go."

"But now it is Fu Mingjue who is being criticized." His words were very unreasonable, but Ling Qingyan couldn't refute them.

Ling Qingyan snorted and stopped talking.

After a long while, Fu Xiuyun, who was at the top, finally expressed his opinion. He looked at Fu Mingjue seriously, and said, "Zirin, what do you have to say about this?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Fu Mingjue. They wanted to see if King Jing would admit what people said.

Fu Mingjue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I have nothing to say."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd exploded in an instant.

Fahrenheit's sudden death that year did not cause much trouble. To them, Fahrenheit was just a little nobleman. Although he gave birth to a prince, he had already been established at that time. Who would care about the life and death of a lowly concubine in the harem? ?

Some people died as soon as they died, but they didn't expect that Ronggui, who should have died long ago, was still alive.

What's even more absurd is that Fu Mingjue imprisoned his biological mother for 14 years!This is simply shocking and devoid of humanity.

Those royal officials had long disliked Fu Mingjue, and after hearing his "nothing to say", they seemed to have grasped the fatal key to him.

"Your Majesty, although Fahrenheit is just a useless person, she is the birth mother of King Jing. This matter concerns the reputation of the royal family. Please issue an order to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"If it's true, King Jing must be punished severely to rectify his name!"

After all, the ministers knelt down on the ground, as if Fu Xiuyun would not get up if he refused.

And such a situation is exactly what Fu Xiuyun wanted.

What is needed is that the courtiers press on step by step, pushing Fu Mingjue into a desperate situation step by step, but he can only catch him without a fight.

Just when Fu Xiuyun was about to make an order, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded from the crowd: "I think this is inappropriate."

Everyone looked around after hearing the reputation, but they saw Ling Qingyan stepping forward steadily, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, Huashi was executed by the late emperor. At that time, King Jing was just a child, so how could he have the ability to imprison his biological mother?"

"If King Jing really has such extraordinary abilities that even the late Emperor hid it from him, why did people find out about it today?"

What he said caused everyone to fall into silence. After careful consideration, it really made sense.

Regardless of how ugly Fu Xiuyun's face was, Ling Qingyan lifted his robe and knelt straight beside Lou Qi, saying: "I believe that the late emperor should also know about this matter, so please think twice, Your Majesty, and don't listen to one-sided words."

Lou Qi was unhappy when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Ling Qingyan, you can't stand this old man with an elbow!"

Ling Youyao is Princess Jing, he speaks for Fu Mingjue, isn't it obvious that he is helping relatives or not?

Ling Qingyan said indifferently: "Lord Lou, you are too proud."

"you"

Fu Xiuyun interrupted him in a deep voice: "Okay, what he said is not unreasonable. I have heard about the fact that the father ordered the death of Huashi, but I don't know the details."

"This matter is full of doubts and has yet to be verified. It will not be too late to make a decision after the truth is found out."

As he spoke, his deep eyes fell on Fu Mingjue, and he said, "Zirin, do you have any objections?"

Fu Mingjue looked as usual, cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."

Since he wants to check, let him check.
