Yun Zishu did not expect that rumors would arise so quickly in the imperial city.
And this rumor flew to the palace at lightning speed, and several ministers impeached her with fierce words: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is so outrageous! Not long after An Shangshu passed away, before the body was cold, she murdered the only remaining concubine of the An family.
Entering your own house to serve as a servant is simply unethical and chilling!"
"The princess has no regard for the honor of the royal family, no regard for the princess' upbringing, treats the ancestral rules as nothing, and does all the ridiculous things for her own selfish desires. Please be severely punished by the emperor!"
"What the direct princess has done is completely inconsistent with the manners and upbringing that a princess should have. Please take a closer look and make an early decision!"
In the royal study, several ministers spoke to each other with intense expressions and indignation, as if they were impeaching someone who had committed a heinous crime, and they looked like they wanted to get rid of her immediately.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a sullen face and said nothing, listening to several ministers spitting and spitting. After they all stopped, he spoke: "Is Zishu really so ridiculous?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Please, Your Majesty, see clearly!"
"If this matter is not punished severely, I am afraid that the people all over the world will think that the royal family condoned such a princess——"
"That's enough!" the emperor shouted angrily in a deep voice, with a cold and majestic tone, "pass the decree and let Zishu enter the palace immediately."
"yes."
"Let Ming Chongjin take the people there."
"yes."
Yang Xi went out to deliver the order and told Ming Chongjin the emperor's order: "General, the emperor has an order for you to bring the legitimate princess into the palace. There must be no mistakes."
Ming Chongjin nodded, and with dozens of his subordinates, they left the palace and went straight to the princess's palace. When she heard the purpose of her visit, Yun Zishu seemed a little surprised: "My father just came to court and told me to enter the palace? Why?
?”
Ming Chongjin said in a calm tone: "Several adults are impeaching the princess in the royal study."
Impeach?
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "I understand, please wait a moment, Commander Ming, while I go change my clothes."
"yes."
Returning to Qifeng Hall, Yun Zishu spoke calmly: "Leng Shuang, immediately send a message to Feng Shoufu, saying that I was impeached by several adults in the imperial study room and was questioned by my father."
Leng Shuang took the order and left.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu smiled coldly, "Someone wants to deal with me, so I should fight back, right?"
"yes."
"Send someone to protect Anli. He may need to enter the palace later."
"Yes." Sicang walked out of the palace with a cold voice, "Yunying, go to Anjia to protect Anli and don't let anything happen to him."
"yes."
Everything was arranged as quickly as possible. Yun Zishu changed her clothes and entered the palace with Ming Chongjin.
As soon as she arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Yun Zishu heard the ministers criticizing her fiercely and in a heart-wrenching tone, as if she had really committed some heinous crime.
When Yun Zishu stepped into the imperial study, she was immediately greeted by several pairs of angry and accusatory eyes. She pretended not to see them and saluted respectfully: "Father, the emperor has summoned his ministers?"
"Zishu." The emperor's eyes showed sadness and disappointment, "You are really disappointing me more and more."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment, then raised her head to look at him in confusion: "Why did your father say this?"
"Look at these!" The emperor threw the papers over one after another, and some even hit Yun Zishu. "They are all to impeach you for your ridiculous behavior! I endure it again and again. I have always convinced myself that you just don't want to do it."
You are sensible, but you are getting more and more wanton now! You even dare to attack the An family's concubine. Not long ago, An Shangshu passed away, and the An family's concubine was foolish and foolish. Are you deliberately bullying the An family?"
Yun Zishu didn't say anything. She silently bent down and picked up the notebooks on the ground one by one. She opened them and read them several times in succession, all to impeach her for her ridiculous behavior in recent days.
Among them, peace and separation are the most important.
Because An Shangshu is no longer around, An Huaishan, the legitimate son of the An family, became a fool after being seriously injured. Now the An family is in a very weak situation, relying entirely on Mrs. An to support it.
The legitimate princess has taken in someone else's bastard at this time. She is simply taking advantage of someone else's situation, bullying others, and rubbing salt into someone else's wounds!
Cold-blooded and unforgivable.
Yun Zishu packed up the notes one by one and put them back on the imperial desk: "These are all fake."
What?
Several ministers in the royal study immediately said sternly: "Now that things have come to this, the princess dare not admit what she has done?"
"Is Anli still in the princess's mansion now? Do you want to call him over for a confrontation?"
"Last night, someone heard with their own ears that the princess was interested in the concubine of the An family and ordered him to move into the princess' mansion immediately. Isn't this rape?"
Yun Zishu listened to them calmly and then said: "Did you all, sir, have you seen An Li enter the princess's palace?"
As soon as these words came out, several adults choked for an instant.
"I... although I didn't see it with my own eyes, someone did."
"Who saw it?"
"Princess Jinning saw it, and so did the fourth princess."
"Really?" Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "If you want to prove a person's crime, you need at least witnesses and physical evidence. Since you, your lords, have determined that I am guilty, then invite all the witnesses to confront you."
"Zishu!" The emperor said angrily, "As long as you admit your mistake and promise not to make it again in the future, I can give you a lighter sentence."
Yun Zishu said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "It's not your fault. I won't admit it. Instead, someone is throwing dirty water on me at this time. I must seek justice for myself."
The Duke of Zhen Guo asked in a deep voice: "Do you dare to be the princess?"
Yun Zishu turned her eyes slightly and looked at the several adults who were talking. Hou Hong, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Haisheng, one of the supervisory censors, Han Yue, the Duke of Zhenguo, and one of the ministers of the cabinet... were all members of Taifu Wu's party.
So what is going on today and do you need to think more?
"Do you dare to do it or not?" Yun Zishu smiled calmly, "My lords, please be patient. Whether I dare to do it or not, I have to do it. If you have never done it, you can ask me to admit it. Obviously
Not fair."
The emperor frowned: "Zishu——"
"If my father also thinks that I am guilty, I will ask Aunt Xuan Jinning to come into the palace to confront me." Yun Zishu lowered her eyebrows and said in a calm and calm tone, "Bring in the most important person among them, An Li, the concubine of the An family.
Just ask and it will be clear.”
Several adults looked at each other, feeling a little uncertain for a moment.
Why is Yun Zishu so calm? Does she really think that everything is under her control?
"Since the direct princess denies it, I agree with her opinion." The Duke of Zhen Guo was the first to agree, "We will find out after the eldest princess Jinning is brought to the palace and asked."
"I also agree."
The emperor was silent for a long time, looking at Yun Zishu with an inquiring look: "Yang Xi, please pass on my oral instructions to announce that Princess Ning of Jin Dynasty will enter the palace immediately."
"yes."
In order to save time, the emperor naturally would not forget other key figures and "bring the fourth princess Zijiao and the concubine Anli of the An family here."
Yang Xi bowed to receive the order: "I will send someone to deliver the order."
While waiting for people to enter the palace, Yun Zishu stood aside, quiet and calm, with no trace of the guilt or uneasiness on her face that would be expected from someone who had done something wrong.
