A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 130 There Are Things You Don't Have

Shen Zaiye pursed his lips, his eyes filled with emotion: "The prince actually trusts Shen so far..."

"That's what it should be." Mu Wuyin frowned and said, "Without you, I wouldn't be in the Eastern Palace. But Prime Minister, you must catch the murderer for me and punish him severely!"

Nodding seriously, Shen Zaiye said: "Shen must try his best!"

After beating him, I felt much more at ease. Shen Zaiye got up and glanced at the main hall.

Where is Jiang Taohua watching the fun?I'm afraid it's hard to hold back the laughter, right?

"Your Highness." A palace official hurried in to report: "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, Shen Zaiye quickly got up and went out to salute: "My minister sees Your Majesty."

Emperor Mingde was furious, walked in while supporting the Queen's hand, glanced at him and said: "Get up, and accompany me to teach this wicked person a lesson!"

Mu Wuyin was startled when he heard the voice, stood up and knelt down in confusion, looked at the emperor who came in, and called out in doubt: "Father?"

"You still see my father in your eyes?!" Emperor Mingde said angrily as he slapped his crown with his sleeves, "For a commoner's daughter, you have made troubles in the East Palace, so what face do you have to call me my father?" Emperor?"

Mu Wuyin was taken aback, and looked up.Mrs. Li was standing beside the queen, she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at him.

This woman actually put all the faults on Meng'er?Out of anger, Mu Wuyin quickly lowered his head and said, "Father, please listen to my minister. The assassin came from nowhere, and for some reason, he only injured my minister but did not take his life. But my minister I'm sure this matter has nothing to do with Meng'er!"

"You still want to protect her?" Emperor Mingde was furious: "Come here, bring that lowly servant girl to me!"

"Yes."

"Your Majesty!" Shen Zaiye's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and said, "Why are you so angry? The assassins in the East Palace have nothing to do with the prince, and it's not necessary to question innocent maids."

It seemed that the Li family had filed a complaint, and the emperor must have been so furious because of his harsh words.Shen Zaiye was a little nervous. If Jiang Taohua was caught in front of the emperor and empress to see her face at this time, it would be even more difficult for her to return to the prime minister's mansion in the future.Of these key figures, if one is rare, it is one.

"Innocent?" Emperor Mingde's face was very ugly: "She confused the crown prince and caused the crown prince to be assassinated in her room. Can this be called innocent?"

"It's none of her business." Mu Wuji hurriedly cupped his hands: "It's just a coincidence. There is no evidence to prove that Meng'er is related to the assassin. She is just an ordinary citizen. How could she know such a master of the rivers and lakes?"

"Confused!" Emperor Mingde looked at him with hatred: "You are usually sober in dealing with things, why are you so confused when you meet a woman? I want to execute her, do you still want to fight against me for a commoner girl? ?”

Mu Wuzhen was dumbfounded, Shen Zaye glanced at him sideways, and saw hesitation on his face.

He hesitated?How long had he known Jiang Taohua, how many days had he been with Jiang Taohua?Is it possible that he is still willing to disobey the holy will for her?Shen Zaiye couldn't understand it, and believed even more that this man was not suitable to be an emperor.

So indecisive!

"Your Majesty!" The imperial guards who went to arrest people had already returned, and General Pang, who was the leader, frowned and said, "I'm humble and incompetent, that maid jumped into Jietian Lake, and I don't know where she went."

"..." The emperor froze for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Did you jump into the lake?"

"Yes."

Shen Zaiye paused, and just as he cupped his hands to speak, he saw that Mu Wuyin had already stood up, and said anxiously, "Royal father, killing innocent people by mistake, is it what the emperor should do? Because of a daughter of the people, let the royal father's reputation be ruined." Yu once, it's really not worth it! My son, go save people now!"

"You stand..." Before the word "Zhu" was uttered, the injured prince had already run away and disappeared.His arms were still tied with wooden clamps, and he managed to get out of the guards' encirclement nimbly.

Emperor Mingde was extremely angry, reached out and smashed the teacup next to him, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter!"

The queen quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't be so angry. He is naturally affectionate. This matter... may not be as serious as what Mrs. Li said."

Li Shi was taken aback, and quickly knelt down and said, "Your servant should die! Please calm down, Father!"

Emperor Mingde sneered, looked at the empty palace entrance, gritted his teeth and said, "This prince shouldn't be given to him. What can such an impulsive temperament accomplish?"

Both the queen and Li Shi were startled, and quickly knelt down to salute.Shen Zaiye also bowed: "My minister, go and bring the prince back."

"You can tell him by the way." The emperor squinted his eyes and said: "If he insists on keeping the girl, then he will hand over the crown prince's golden crown to King Heng!"

"...Wei Chen understands."

Mrs. Li just wanted the emperor to deal with Jiang Taohua, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, she immediately regretted it, and quickly kowtowed: "Father, calm down, the prince is loyal and patriotic. Share your worries. You can't just wipe away so much hard work of the prince just because of a lowly maidservant!"

"Didn't you say that the prince was bewitched by the demon girl, so he couldn't listen to her advice?" The emperor lowered his head, looked at her and said, "Since he can't even listen to her words, why should he be a prince?"

"My son exaggerated, son damn it!" Li lowered her head and said, "The crown prince is not a stupid person, and the maid is not that powerful, it's just my jealousy! Please forgive the prince!"

The emperor was taken aback, and looked down at her in astonishment: "Really?"

"Please forgive me, Father!" Li's voice choked with his head touching the ground.

Shen Zaye looked at it, feeling a little sad.With such a good concubine, why does Mu Wuyin insist on Jiang Taohua?
Emperor Mingde's anger also slowly subsided, he looked at her for a long time, and sighed: "Forget it, if that's the case, let someone bring that maid back and beat her fifty times. You personally imprison her."

"...Thank you, father."

Frowning slightly, Shen Zaiye quietly withdrew to find someone.

He didn't expect that impulsiveness would lead to such consequences. How many blows can Jiang Taohua's small body withstand?Or simply take it out of the palace and forget it.

Jietian Lake is very wide, and after walking around the lake for a long time, Shen Zaiye finally found the couple.

Jiang Taohua seemed to have just landed, her whole body was dripping wet, and the expression on her face was extremely silly.Mu Wuyin in front of her had his hands tied and his body was soaked, looking at her with red eyes.

"I almost thought you were really drowned!" Mu Wuzhen growled, "What are you doing by jumping into the lake? Even if you are brought in front of your father, I can save you!"

Something hammered her heart, Tao Hua looked at this embarrassed person, and asked in a daze, "You... jumped down to save me?"

"Otherwise?" Mu Wuzhen frowned: "Wait for them to carry your body up?"

Speechless, Taohua looked at the redness and swelling on his face, and then at his tied hands that could not be used at all—he just used this pair of chopsticks to hold her up .

Her throat was a little tight, she tilted her head and looked at the prince for a while, then smiled and said: "It's the first time someone rescued me like this."

Mu Wuzhen was the first person who came to save her because she was about to die.

Shen Zaiye walked over slowly, looked at the expression on Jiang Taohua's face coldly, and couldn't help but sneered: "Are you two planning to have a romantic conversation here?"

Looking up at him, Taohua pursed her lips, struggled to stand up, then stretched out her hand to help Mu Wuyin up, and said in a low voice: "Go back and change your clothes, if the emperor sees it, you will only be angrier. The prime minister will go back to receive the punishment."

"No." Mu Wuzhen shook his head: "You go back with me, and I will convince Father that the matter of the assassin has nothing to do with you."

"Prime Minister has a sense of proportion." Tao Hua smiled, and the smile reached his eyes for the first time: "You have just become the crown prince, and it is not appropriate to provoke His Majesty. What should be done to the servant, the servant will accept, as long as you keep your life."

Mu Wuxian glanced at her worriedly, then at Shen Zaye: "Can the prime minister protect her?"

"It's not difficult to save your life." Shen Zaiye said expressionlessly, "You'd better go back quickly."

"Okay." Mu Wuyin looked at Peach Blossom and said, "I'll go back to the East Palace and wait for you."

Taohua nodded, her eyes were rare and tender, which made Shen Zaiye squint her eyes.When the prince was far away, he said in a cold voice, "What do you mean by that look? Are you in love with him?"

"I just think it's rare to find such a stupid person." Looking down at her wet skirt, Taohua chuckled: "He has something that Xiangye doesn't have."

"what?"

"Sincerely." Pointing to her heart, Taohua said: "It's been a long time since no one has been sincere to me, and thinking about it makes my heart move."

With half of his face darkened, Shen Zaiye sneered and said, "Jiang Taohua, if I remember correctly, he just saved your life, and I saved your life too. Why is he sincere and I am not?"

Looking at him sideways with strange eyes, Taohua curled her lips: "This servant has only seen people who deliver food to beggars praised for their kindness, but never seen hunters who feed hunting dogs praised for their kindness. Master Xiang doesn't understand this?"

Slightly stunned, Shen Zaiya sneered, looked at her and said: "In order to run me down, you didn't hesitate to call yourself a dog, so what else can I say? If you think the prince is sincere, then you can spend the rest of your life with him, as long as You can bear the punishment when you go back."

Is there really a punishment?Taohua frowned: "You and I are still cooperating anyway, so can't we help block it?"

"Let your sincere prince stop it." Shen Zaiye squinted his eyes: "You said the words, you should be punished, and you will suffer."

Hey, isn't it because he is there, so it's just a nice way to say it?With a few dry laughs, Taohua hurriedly approached Shen Zaiye in a fawning manner and asked, "Is the punishment heavy?"

"Not heavy." Shen Zaiye said calmly: "Fifty boards, Li's imprisonment."

"..." After a pause, Jiang Taohua turned her head and left: "You guys play first, I'll continue to stay in the lake."

"Why?" Grabbing her with his hand, Shen Zai said with a smirk: "Isn't it to prevent the prince from being blamed by the emperor, and he is willing to be punished? Such a great thing, you can't run away. Go, I will personally escort you back !"
