Princess Anping finally came back to her senses. Looking at the lofty emperor, she kowtowed deeply and said: "I am suing the Lu family for disrespecting the imperial power and ignoring the princess's mansion! Your Majesty, the princess's mansion is in decline now." , but it’s not the turn of a family with mud-legged background to be so discriminatory, I am the princess who was personally named by the late emperor!”

She endured her dissatisfaction with the emperor. From the time her grandson was beaten, she knew that the emperor's heart had long been gone. She couldn't use her own affairs to speak against the Lu family. She could only use the royal family's reputation to force the emperor to deal with it. The Lu family took action.

The emperor had known about this for a long time, but he still asked: "Oh? What did the Lu family do to make you so angry, cousin?"

Hearing that the emperor called her cousin, Princess Anping felt proud for a moment, but she did not show it. She was still heartbroken that her grandson came to the door but was kicked out by Lu Baichuan. .

Anyway, it just talked about how the Lu family bullied her, and there was no mention of why she went to the Lu family or what she was going to do.

Seeing that she refused to talk, the emperor didn't even ask. Of course, he didn't mention how to solve it. He just said: "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Since it is a complaint, it must wait until the civil and military officials are ready." The officials are here to watch. You stay in the palace today, and tomorrow morning you go to the hall with me to identify what the Lu family did. As long as the matter is true, I will naturally not be partial."

They were preparing to collect evidence, and Princess Anping felt a little panicked for a moment.

She specifically found this opportunity to complain to the emperor, just to talk to the emperor about it alone and let the emperor think of some reasons to make the decision for her. But she didn't expect that the emperor would take the matter to the court and say it. She couldn't find any loopholes, even if she wanted to refute it.

She knew in her heart what her purpose was for going to the Lu family. If her purpose was revealed in front of all the civil and military officials, her old face would really be unsustainable. After all, which princess was so destitute as she was that she would find a coward to cooperate with? ?

I took the initiative to offer my thighs to others, but they refused.

This was an indelible humiliation for her.

"Your Majesty, I can wait until tomorrow, but I'm afraid of my grandson..."

Before she finished speaking, she started wiping away tears and making bitter accusations about Yu He.

"Don't worry, cousin, my nephew will be fine. I will arrange for someone to see him. Complaining against the imperial court is not a trivial matter. I cannot bend the law for personal gain, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, and I will have to make my nephew suffer some physical pain."

The emperor also made a helpless expression and put the responsibility on Princess Anping. If she had not wanted to file a complaint, her grandson would not have suffered.

Princess Anping had nothing to say, wiped her tears, and was helped away by the palace attendants.

Early the next morning, Princess Anping was brought to the court, and Lu Baichuan, who had not been to court for more than half a year, also came. As a defendant, he always had to show his face.

There are many new faces in the court, recently promoted by the emperor, and their attitude towards Lu Baichuan is very respectful. Other officials also do a good job on the surface. They greet each other respectfully, but the smile does not reach the bottom of the eyes. When they went to court, everyone did not show mercy to him when they talked about Princess Anping's complaint yesterday.

These people couldn't stand the fact that the Lu family was so favored. With Princess Anping leading the way, these courtiers were even more willing to follow the lead, hoping to pull the Lu family down just because of this.

Anyway, Kang Tiezui is not in the court now, and no one can speak for Lu Baichuan. With so many of them, are they afraid that they can't defeat Lu Baichuan?Several ministers looked at each other and exchanged glances, with a meaningful smile on their lips.

Someone stood up and knelt directly on the ground with the wat tablet in his hand: "Your Majesty, Princess Anping is a royal noble. How can she allow others to insult her like this? This is a provocation to the dignity of the royal family and a great disrespect to the emperor!"

Another person also came out: "This is disrespectful to the emperor! Please be aware of it!"

Princess Anping originally thought that coming to the court would be of no benefit to her, but she didn't expect that so many people would speak for her. It seems that her status as princess is still very useful, but she has faded out of everyone's sight in recent years. Many people don't Knowing her, that's why her family's life becomes even more difficult.

Does that mean that if I go out more and attend more banquets in the future, more people will remember me and my life will be better?

In this way, the beating from the grandson was not too bad.

Just as she was thinking happily, Lu Baichuan stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The emperor had been waiting for him to stand up and defend himself. When he saw this, he immediately said: "Lu Aiqing, please tell me."

Lu Baichuan glanced at Princess Anping indifferently, then at the courtiers, and said in a moderate voice: "You all know that my Lu family drove Princess Anping and her grandson out of the house, but you know that my Lu family We have never had any contact with them, so why did they come to the door? And why did they break up with each other and kick them out of the house?"

"Lu Mou has been traveling for more than half a year and bought some family property in Qianzhou City. The grandson of Princess Anping came to visit me for the purpose of my family property in Qianzhou. He said he wanted to cooperate, but he asked for [-]% of my money. Bonus, when asked about the benefits of cooperation, the other party said that in the future, when going out to do things, I can report the name of Princess Anping, so people in the city will not dare to take advantage of my Lu family. "

"They are mocking me, the Lu family, for coming from a poor family. Being able to associate with his family is a great gift. They want to take advantage of my Lu family and try to squeeze on my Lu family. I don't agree. I have asked Mr. Yu to get out. , in the afternoon, Princess Anping came to see my mother in person, pointed at my mother's nose and humiliated me again. No matter how poor my mother was, she was still the first-grade imperial concubine of the Supreme Emperor. Why should Princess Anping be so aggressive? "

"My Lu family didn't agree to Princess Anping's bandit-like request, so we came to complain and use our power to bully others. It really gave Lu a lot of experience."

Speaking of this, Lu Baichuan sneered. He didn't feel sorry for the white-haired Princess Anping next to him at all. He even felt that this person was disgusting and made people feel sick just by looking at him.

After Lu Baichuan finished speaking, there was no voice in the court to refute for a while. The main reason was that no one thought that Princess Anping would have such a ridiculous reason to file a petition. Just because others would not let her family take advantage, she would file a lawsuit just because she was the princess. She asked the emperor to help her become a robber, how dare she!

"No, he is slanderous! I just asked He'er to visit, but who would have thought that they would kick He'er out!"

Princess Anping knew that she would not tell her true purpose at this time, and if she made such a fuss, she would not get any benefits from the Lu family in the future. Therefore, her main purpose now is to kill the Lu family.

After the fall of the Lu family, she was able to help many people solve their problems. Those people would help her family to some extent. Although it was not as much as directly occupying the Lu family's property, it was better than nothing. (End of chapter)
