27. Chapter 27 Calling the shots

"Father." Shi Yongze clasped his fists and said.

"What's the matter?" Shi Yunsheng asked.

"My son wants to break off his engagement with Tang Zijun." As soon as Shi Yongze said these words, the noisy conversation in the palace suddenly stopped.

The palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone could hear their own heartbeats.

Shi Yunsheng smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Why are you looking at the prince? Doesn't the prince know how to help him to rest even if he is drunk?"

Upon hearing the emperor's perfunctory tone, Shi Yongze stood up suddenly, clasped his fists and said: "Father, I am not drunk, I am..."

"Why are you talking nonsense when you're not drunk?" Shi Yunsheng glared at Shi Yongze angrily.

"Father, I will never allow a woman with no etiquette, integrity, talent or virtue to become the crown prince." Shi Yongze finally said it in one breath, regardless of Shi Yunsheng's gloomy face.

"Presumptuous!" Shi Yunsheng slapped the table and stood up, "As a prince, you slander others at will, you..."

"Father." Shi Yongze really went all out, interrupted Shi Yunsheng, and said, "Everyone in the capital knows what Tang Zijun's reputation is like on weekdays. Not to mention, he whipped the king for no reason just to admire the flowers.

Lingshi, what should I say about this matter?"

"Is there such a thing?" Shi Yunsheng asked strangely, "What is going on? We must investigate clearly and do not accuse Zijun unjustly."

"Why is it unclear? Everyone in the country knows it." Shi Yongze said, "Do you recognize Tang Zijun or not?"

Tang Zijun said funny: "Prince, I have never whipped Wang Lingshi. How can I easily believe such rumors?"

Shi Yongze always believed that this was Tang Zijun trying to avoid denial: "Yes or no, if Wang Lingshi is in the palace, we will know as soon as we ask."

Wang Lingshi was shocked when her name was called and stood up in a hurry.

"Wang Lingshi, don't be afraid. If anything happens, the emperor and empress will make the decision for you. You can speak out with confidence and boldness." Shi Yongze will be a person who upholds justice this time and completely tear apart Tang Zijun's mask.

"No, Prince, Miss Tang did not whip me." Even if Wang Lingshi disliked Tang Zijun, she would not dare to lie in front of the Emperor and Queen.

This false accusation is not good. In the end, it is very likely that not only will she be convicted, but the family will be implicated. She does not dare to speak nonsense.

"Wang Lingshi, what are you afraid of? Just say it. How did Tang Zijun whip you?" Shi Yongze pressed Wang Lingshi.

He has been supported by everyone since he was a child, and he has been able to sit on the throne of the prince smoothly.

It happened that Tang Zijun appeared in his life and became his greatest shame.

He must not marry the biggest loser in Tianlan. In that case, even if he becomes a great person in the future, what will happen?

That is a shame that he will never be able to wash away!

"Really not." Wang Lingshi shook her head repeatedly and was so anxious that she almost cried.

When Shi Yongze saw Wang Lingshi like this, he was even more angry: "Wang Lingshi, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of saying?"

"Prince, Wang Lingshi said I didn't whip her, and you still insist on forcing her to admit it. How much do you want to pin this crime on me?" Tang Zijun asked with a sneer.

"It seems that you have accumulated so much power that she dare not tell the truth." Shi Yongze gritted his teeth and said angrily.
