In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Liangji was placed under house arrest in Prince Xian's Mansion that night and could not even leave the courtyard. The cries of Mrs. Su and Su Yun were all around him, which made him very upset.
I thought that no matter how good Zhan Wenxuan was, he would take him to court early the next morning because he was the prime minister. But in the end, he was still under house arrest in the courtyard, waiting for Wan Cheng who came to Emperor Xiaoxian's side.
.
God knows how desperate he felt the moment he saw Wan Cheng. The moment he entered the palace to meet Emperor Xiaoxian, he even wanted to directly ask him to give him a good time.
However, Emperor Xiaoxian pretended that he didn't know anything and just asked some casual questions. It seemed insignificant, but in fact, every question he asked made Su Liangji's heart tremble.
Su Liangji knew that something was wrong, but he suppressed the fear in his heart and answered Emperor Xiaoxian's question. Although he appeared calm and composed, he was extremely panicked in his heart.
After all, he was threatened in person by a yellow-haired little girl yesterday at Prince Xian's Mansion. He did not think that the current situation was a coincidence. Instead, he believed even more that the girl had indeed found evidence of his crime and had sent him to the police.
Arriving in front of Emperor Xiaoxian!
Faced with Su Liangji's good-natured answer, Emperor Xiaoxian did not completely believe it. After all, there was no flaw in his answer, as if he had said it hundreds of times before...
"I heard early this morning that there was so much excitement in Prince Xian's palace yesterday!" Emperor Xiaoxian glanced at Su Liangji, changed the subject, and started talking about yesterday's events.
Seeing that Su Liangji's face turned slightly pale, he knew something in his mind, and scolded him angrily: "It's the good daughter you taught me, but you actually doted on her to do such a thing!"
"Now the people in the entire capital have seen the royal family's joke. Could you please tell me how you plan to deal with this matter?"
The fear in Su Liangji's heart almost resurfaced due to Emperor Xiaoxian's roar. However, he had shared Emperor Xiaoxian's worries for many years and understood his temperament more or less.
At the moment, the only way to make a turnaround is to take the matter fully, lower your profile to Emperor Xiaoxian, and admit your mistake. If not, either she or Su Yun will be in trouble today.
Naturally, Emperor Xiaoxian would not kill them, he would just demote his official position, or demote Su Yun to the position of concubine.
It would be fine if he was demoted. The position of prime minister is of great importance, and it cannot be appointed to just one person. But Su Yun is just a concubine at the moment. If he is demoted, wouldn't she become a concubine?!
As a result, Concubine De will not reuse them and will definitely support the next chess piece...
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter is indeed Wei Chen's fault. It was Wei Chen who failed to teach Yun'er well and restrain his wife, causing them to do such unethical things."
"Please, Your Majesty, give Wei Chen a chance. After Wei Chen goes back, he will punish them both severely and there will never be another time!"
Emperor Xiaoxian sat on the chair, looking at Su Liangji kowtowing and admitting his mistake below, he weighed it in his mind for a while. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "I am not a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong. It was Mrs. Su and Su who did something wrong yesterday.
Yun, it has nothing to do with you."
"But although you are not the main culprit, you are still jointly and severally responsible! I will punish you by spending half a month in the house and give you a salary of half a year. I will treat it as comfort for my two children."
"It just so happens that you can use this time to teach Mrs. Su and Su Yun what to do and what not to do in the mansion!"
When Su Liangji heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Emperor Xiaoxian only punished him with half a month of regrets and a year's salary, and nothing more.
His salary and so on are incomparable to what he earns from the prime minister's industry. These are just a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't matter if he is short for this year. As long as they, a family of three, are safe and sound.
"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for your kindness. I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for your kindness -"
"Okay, you go back, don't be an eyesore in front of me." Emperor Xiaoxian glanced at Su Liangji with disgust, then called Wan Cheng in and sent him out of the palace.
As soon as Su Liangji left, Emperor Xiaoxian called the secret guards and asked them to watch the Prime Minister's Mansion and watch Su Liangji's every move.
